I was browsing through Facebook just the other day, when I stumbled upon a Facebook ad that was linked to a blog post that a digital marketing agency was advertising.

I wasn't interested in the free seo audit, as my brother runs his own SEO agency in Cincinnati, OH. But I noticed a floating side tab that was following me, as I scrolled down through the blog post, as you can see in this blog posts image.

I thought that it was really cool, and a very useful plugin for affiliate marketers. So I did some research. The plugin is called Easy Side Tab Pro, and you can create custom call-to-actions with it. This can be really good for promoting your affiliate links.

I particularly like this floating side tab for a few reasons:

  • It is mobile friendly

I noticed that the call to action tab worked perfectly well as I was scrolling up and down the blog post. Google is sending out mobile bots by default now, so it is important that your site work well on mobile.

  • You can create a unique call to action tab for each individual page.

This is helpful when you are promoting a variety of affiliate products. Each product will have its own affiliate links, or perhaps you want to give out a bonus. With this plugin your call to action can be 100% optimized to the offer you are promoting.

  • A side tab is much less of an annoyance compared to an exit pop up.

Google is constantly tracking how long users are staying on your website. So users who stay on your site longer will help improve your Google rankings. Exit pop ups can boost your subscribers, and visits to your affiliate links, but can also hurt because they are annoying. But the Easy Side Tab is much more subtle compared to an exit pop up.

I just thought I would share this cool plugin idea with the WA community because I am always looking for new and creative ways to boost clicks to my affiliate links, which ultimately boosts affiliate sales as well.

What kinds of call to action plugins are you using? Are you happy with them? Let me know in the comments below.

Hi Nathan. Sounds like a useful plugin . Have you or anyone else tested it for site speed?

I have not tested it for speed. But if a plugin is useful enough, I will install it for it's functionality. I wouldn't say this plugin is a major risk for site speed though.

Great post. Really don't use many plug-ins but sounds like a good idea.
