| Maps.com March 2006 Affiliate Newsletter |
 |
Outstanding month in February by many of our affiliate partners. We saw the usual people at or near the top, but we had many new faces join that elite group. We would like to thank all of you for your hard work and effort over the course of February. It looks like many of you were interested in our new commission structure that pays more as you generate more throughout the month. We certainly wouldn't be at this point if it weren't for those who decided to feature Maps.com on their site(s).

NEW COMMISSION STRUCTURE
Earn 7% per sale for all sales up to 25 per month
Earn 10% per sale for all sales between 26-99 per month
Earn 12% per sale for all sales from 100 or more per month
* For example, if you generate 120 sales in a given month, you will receive 7% commission on the first 25 sales, 10% commission on the next 74 sales and 12% on the final 21 sales. |

SEARCH LINKS
We always want your site(s) to contain as much new content as possible. We feel that banners and text links are important to maintain consistent click-through rates and conversion. We also feel that to achieve a high conversion rate you need to provide your visitors with even more content. We urge you to view our Advanced Links which feature search buttons and boxes to direct your visitors to pages that include all the products that are related to specific search keywords. If you want to feature these on your site, you can grab the code from the bottom of this email. If you want to learn more, please contact us at anytime.

AFFILIATE TIP
Above, I mentioned that you should start featuring our search boxes and buttons. It is an excellent way to convert your traffic into sales. By directing traffic to targetted landing pages that feature products related to the specific keyword, you are increasing the possibility of your visitors purchasing Maps.com products. Statistics show that each time customers have to click through the site, you lose 20% of your traffic. If you simply sent a customer to our home page and they had to click 5 times to find what they are looking for, you would lose all your traffic.
