Branding Yourself

Having the ability to create your own splash pages gives you an awesome opportunity to brand yourself while promoting your website at the same time.
So what is branding? Basically branding yourself means putting a picture of yourself on your website.

Why would you want to do that?

Branding yourself along with your website is a way to let people know that you are a real person and not just another faceless affiliate link. After awhile other marketers will begin to notice you and hopefully pay more attention to the sites you are promoting. Having your picture on your page is also a way to let people know that you are not afraid to stand behind the site you are promoting.

If you have a chance to put your face on a webpage ... do it!

Traffic exchange owners understand the importance of branding. Many traffic exchanges now offer free brandable splash pages that you can use to promote their sites. These are great for getting your face out there while getting some traffic referrals at the same time.

While I don't encourage promoting generic affiliate pages in traffic exchanges if you must then I would suggest promoting them with a brandable U RL rotator instead. A brandable U RL rotator works just like any other rotator except in addition to displaying your websites it will also show your picture at the top of the page. This lets your visitor know who the page belongs to and hopefully they will pay a little closer attention if they recognize you.

You can get your own free brandable URL rotator from several traffic exchanges such as Traffic Splash and Royal Surf.
