The affiliate network, the CPA network that I was advertising for or on behalf of, I guess, pulled the offer. They discontinued these protein powder offers. All of a sudden, I had a blog post that wasn’t generating revenue anymore, and yet, I was running paid traffic to it. So I ended up wasting a couple of hundred bucks because I didn’t know that this offer was no longer available. They ended up kind of swapping the link to something random on the backend.
If you are still confused about whether or not to use affiliate marketing, check out these interesting statistics:

Take ThirstyAffiliates, for example. This plugin helps you add affiliate links to your site and then organize and manage them. You can also include corresponding images, and track your links’ statistics. Pretty Links offers many of the same features, but focuses on optimizing your affiliate links. Both plugins have premium versions offering even more functionality. There are also plenty of alternative options to choose from.
