This edition of AffiliateABCs is a Merchant Spotlight where we talk with the Marketing Director of Viator.com Kelly Gillease about how to best promote the Viator.com Travel and Tours website and products. Kelly is very knowledgeable in the travel field and knows her site inside and out, so when several affiliates asked me the same questions it hit me, Kelly knows the answers, let's put her on the air.

Some of her suggestions cover:

Sites that convert well
Cities and types of tours that convert well
Types of links that convert well

We manually approve affiliates, so please type in the extra info box that you are from ABW and which sites you plan to feature Viator on, or what sites you are developing to use Viator on.

Hope you enjoy the podcast, and learn something from it, it is about 20 minutes. :)

If you missed this, we have gotten A LOT of great feedback that this podcast was helpful for not only affiliates of Viator, but for general travel affiliates as well.

Kelly Gillease, the Marketing Director at Viator, has also started a podcast/screencast of her own. SEMcast focuses on getting started with paid search. She has screenshots to go with her discussion which helps you remember the key points. This is a general interest podcast, with information that can help anyone getting started in SEM.

Kelly and I are also going to record a podcast later this week about the travel market in general, so let me know if you have any questions for that one too!
