Affiliates

Dear [CONTACT.NAME],

Think of the last trip you took. You probably looked for the best deal you could get. With the summer travel season underway, plenty of people are doing the exact same thing. And not all of them know about Hotwire's specially negotiated rates.

As part of Hotwire's sales team, you can help your site visitors beat the system for lower travel prices. For example: Your users can land savings up to 75% at the hotels and resorts where they want to stay. We work with some of the biggest chains and independent hotels to fill their unsold rooms at deeply discounted rates. That means a significantly cheaper stay for your users (and commission for you).

Some of the best rates of the summer are available now in destinations like Las Vegas. Promote our great hotel deals when people are taking summer vacations!



		Starting with this newsletter, we'll be featuring one affiliate who has delivered outstanding results over the past month. In return, we'll give that affiliate a special reward for their efforts. And we'll share their top strategies for generating Hotwire sales and earning top commissions.





		www.icheapairfares.com This month's Affiliate of the Month is iCheapAirfares. The secret to their success: "Do link exchanges with high quality, relevant travel sites in order to increase your organic search engine rankings." "Be patient, it may take awhile to build up steady monthly sales, but it's worth it once you get there."

You've heard the news: Big IPOs for Internet search companies. References to "googling" on TV. Search engines are one of the top ways people find deals online. Is your site doing all it can to get the top spot in search results? Here are some tips to optimize your site:

		Provide travel-related topics on your site filled with terminology a search engine can pick up. Travel tips, area guides, and reviews are great sources of content to display on a search result.
		Update your content regularly. Give the search engine a reason to come back to your site.
		Choose words you want to associate with your site and use them often (just don't overdo it - search engines can detect "word spam").

Get started with these simple strategies. We'll have more search optimization tips in future newsletters!

That's the message we're sending to travel shoppers: From family events to special getaways, you can afford to take an extra trip that really counts.

There's a simple reason why people don't travel more often - it's expensive. That's why we've developed exciting new creative to share our best travel tips with our customers. When a spontaneous getaway, family gathering, or last-minute event comes along, they'll know how to get there affordably. Post the creative here* on your site to help us spread the word.
