Is Affiliate SEO Dead?

Don't you just love marketers?

Always stirring up debates with their controversial headlines and leading people away from where the real pots of gold can be found online.

Well, it's no different with SEO (search engine optimization).

SEO is a gold mine.

And it's actually gotten much easier in recent years.

But it probably doesn't seem like it because of all the scary "algorithm updates" and SEO myths sprinkled around on popular forums.

Myths like...

SEO is hard
SEO is slow
SEO is expensive

Or that overall SEO is just mysterious and nobody knows or understands how it actually works.

SEO is actually really simple.

It just comes down to content and backlinks.

First, make sure you're content is high-quality and relevant to the keywords you're targeting and trying to rank for.
And then secondly you'll ideally want to boost your site and certain pages by sending a mixture of social bookmarks and powerful backlinks...

To show the search engines that your website is an authority for that particular subject.

Now, in the beginning, you don't even need to focus on backlinks.

Just focus on creating really good content for the particular subject or topic you're trying to rank and get traffic for.

A tip for this is to concentrate on writing content around longer tail keywords.

Long tail keywords are longer search queries, and the reason it's a good idea to focus on these when starting out is because they have far less competition...

Meaning they're much easier to rank for.

And in the beginning we just want to get traction and traffic to your site as quickly as possible.

Over time, the more content you create around these longer tail keywords, you will naturally start to rank at draw in traffic from more competitive keywords and search phrases.

So, in summary, affiliate SEO is not dead at all.

It's actually alive and well, pretty inexpensive and doesn't take a lot of time to create a comfortable full-time income promoting products and services as an affiliate marketer.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means optimizing your content to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to keyword stuff and trying to maintain a certain keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or links from other high authority or relevant sites pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an Amway pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click) is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically, direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily Bing Ads is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...
