Lastly I noted that many people who started following me on twitter is an affiliate, many of them has a customized background with the product they promote and when I started following them back they sent me a message (automatically with TweetLater for example) inviting me to check out their website.
After checking a couple of them, I noted that some of them were using static pages whilst others were using dynamic pages to promote a product, what do you thing is best?
Static Pages
Static pages are those that ends with .html, .htm (and similar) and they need to be designed from scratch (at least you want to buy a template). This kind of pages tends to load pretty fast due to their simplicity in the design.
This kind of pages work very well because you can practically create one of them very fast, much more than if you want to set a page with wordpress for example. The bad thing is when you want to update the content because you don’t have an admin panel or something similar than a CMS can provide.
Dynamic Pages
Being the opposite of static pages, this ones end on .php or similar and they use to be generated by content management systems like WordPress or Joomla. They could be as pretty, complex and interactive as you want but they need dedication to be done.
The Analysis
No matter what kind of pages are you using to promote a product, the only thing you want to do is to sell. The thing is that Google prefers static over dynamic pages, so if you want to get a high rank on search engines you better build static pages.
Nevertheless many of these affiliates use PPC campaigns to get their potential buyers, so what’s the matter with using static or dynamic pages? If you are one of those who are using PPC campaigns go for whatever you want, but remember if you use dynamic pages it doesn’t mean that you won’t get a good rank, it is all about SEO.
To conclude, I would like to know if you have a kind of preference on this. Personally I have done either static or dynamic pages to sell products and honestly, it’s not so different.

I use affiliate networks such as neverblueads, motive a4d… you can find them at the sidebar under the header “Money Makers” …
I prefer static pages since I don’t know how to code dynamic pages

Have you tried split testing both types of pages? While you may have one preference, your audience may have another. Best way to find out is to ‘ask’- by trying both and analyzing the results. Good luck!
Hey Dina excellent advice… You are totally right, your audience could think different and you could be losing customers…
In fact, now i’m building a dynamic website in order to test and analyze the results… Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I belive you should go for quality over quantity. So try dynamic pages – maybe you’ll spend more time on them but they should bring better results.

You should experiment with each one and see which one brings in better results.
