You can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/blog\/best-affiliate-programs-for-travel-sites\/\">travel affiliate programs<\/a> of many popular brands which <meta charset=\"utf-8\">accept contextual advertising on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/\">Travelpayouts<\/a>.

Some <meta charset=\"utf-8\">travel brands <meta charset=\"utf-8\">on the Travelpayouts partnership platform accept contextual advertising. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/rentalcars-affiliate-program\">Rentalcars.com<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/89\">Tiqets<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/trip-com-affiliate-program\">Trip.com<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/91\">Omio (GoEuro Travel GmbH)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/insubuy-affiliate-program\">Insubuy<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/rvshare-affiliate-program\">RVshare<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/qeeq-affiliate-program\">QEEQ<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/busbud-affiliate-program\">Busbud<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/campaigns\/57\">BikesBooking.com<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/ticketmaster-affiliate-program\">Ticketmaster<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/eatwith-affiliate-program\">EatWith<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/programs\/153\">VisitorsCoverage<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indirect Contextual Advertising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, affiliate programs don\u2019t allow direct ads to their websites. What you can do is drive traffic to your website where you\u2019ll place affiliate links and tools. For example, it is forbidden to direct ads to the Omio website, but you can advertise your website with Omio widgets instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brand Bidding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most companies forbid brand contextual advertising, meaning that you cannot use their brand names in ads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, even if your partner allows contextual advertising, they won\u2019t necessarily go for their brand name mentioning, so make sure you\u2019ve learned that before placing an ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if Google Ads Is Not Allowed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Such companies as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/viator-affiliate-program\">Viator<\/a> and &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelpayouts.com\/en\/offers\/airhelp-affiliate-program\">AirHelp<\/a> forbid any affiliate marketing with Google Ads (AdWords)\u2013 either direct or indirect. Which strategies of promotion should you choose in this case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Native advertising. <\/strong>Such ads barely look promotional, as they match the page\u2019s main content. It is often used on social media and as recommendations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Click-unders. <\/strong>The ad becomes visible in a new browser window after the visitor has clicked on any part of the main webpage.<\/li><li><strong>Pop-ups. <\/strong>Such ads appear when you click anywhere on the page. They also can pop up randomly, and even without visitor intervention.<\/li><li><strong>Pop-unders. <\/strong>These are the ads that open in another window. They aren\u2019t very pushy since it\u2019s still possible to interact with the content on the main page.<\/li><li><strong>Targeted ads on social networks. <\/strong>Ads are created on the base of the offered target options \u2013 geo, behavior, etc.<\/li><li><strong>Display ads. <\/strong>Text, image or video ads are created for mobile or desktop to direct people to your website for increasing brand awareness and audience loyalty.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, good old email marketing and SMM are still in force. In addition, you can distribute advertising links through messengers (Telegram, Viber, etc.) within your channels and communities as long as they are relevant to the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every advertiser has their own marketing strategy and allowed traffic types. Regardless, Google Ads is just one way of running traffic arbitrage, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/first-steps-in-web-traffic-arbitrage\/\">there are many others<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Work With Google Ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To promote affiliate offers, it\u2019s crucial to check <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/earn-more-on-referral-program\/\">what type of advertisement<\/a> each one of them allows and then set the campaigns.

Once you\u2019re counting on people\u2019s clicks, it\u2019s important to provide them with valuable content to give reasons for clicking on your ads. The content strategy should resonate with product promotion. It\u2019s important to build it on the base of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/how-to-know-your-audience\/\">audience\u2019s profile<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Make your website easy to navigate. <\/strong>Straightforward and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/how-to-design-a-website\/\">clear design<\/a> without the overwhelming number of sections, text and visuals will lead the visitor to the ad hassle-free.<\/li><li><strong>Predict the users\u2019 backlash. <\/strong>Make a map or a script of the tentative responses to meet the potential objections or questions head-on and develop answers to reflect them in the ads.<\/li><li><strong>Use a customized approach.<\/strong> Contextual advertising is based on the diversity of targeting criteria for providing contextually related advertising experiences.<\/li><li><strong>Select relevant keywords.<\/strong> The accurate semantic core attracts leads rather than just visitors, which allows you to save your budget and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelpayouts.com\/en\/how-to-decrease-bounce-rate-on-a-blog\/\">decrease the bounce rate<\/a>. For example, if you\u2019re promoting premium vacations to Cyprus, the phrase \u201ccheap trips to Cyprus\u201d makes you lose money as the visitor might click on the ad, hopefully, to get the low-cost offer but they will leave the website in a minute when seeing the high-end trips.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promoting Affiliate Offers With Google Ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Ads is one of the most popular promotional tools to drive high-quality traffic to your website, and many publishers resort to advertising to boost their affiliate campaigns.

Payment is calculated according to the bidding model you choose and can be tuned at any given moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn a profit, it\u2019s important that your affiliate campaign brings more money than you spend on traffic.
