SEO Link Building Strategies For Affiliate Websites


There are a lot of myths and theories when it comes to the "best" linkbuilding strategies to get a website to rank.
But in my opinion, experience and a lot of testing is going to give you the proper insights into what really works.
However, I will share some tips based on what I generally do to boost the authority of my money sites.

If it's a new domain I will typically start by sending a few high authority backlinks to the root domain with the anchor text either being the name of the site or the exact URL.
To do this you either buy your own expired domains and point links from those domains to the sites you want to rank (creating your own private blog network).
Or you can just buy high powered links from other sites like The HOTH.
After this I will start building some social bookmark and web 2.0 property links to the root domain as well as the inner pages.
For the anchor text of the social bookmark links if it's to my homepage I'll just use the root domain URL or title of the site.
But if I'm building web 2.0 links to the inner pages and posts of my site then I'll type the main keyword of the article into Google, scroll down to the bottom of the page and copy all the related keywords.
And I'll use all of those related keywords as the anchor text of the links pointing to those pages.
For instance if I had a page on my site about "custom plush animals" the list of related keywords I would used as anchor text for my web 2.0 links would be...
custom plush maker
custom plush toys from photo
custom stuffed animals no minimum
custom stuffed animals from drawings
custom plush toy manufacturers china
design your own stuffed animal online
custom plush dolls
custom stuffed dolls look like you
For the web 2.0 links you can either purchase them from sites like Blackhatlinks or you can build them yourself with a software like Money Robot.

And that's my link building strategy in a nutshell.
I don't overthink it.
I focus first on creating high-quality content to the keyword(s) I'm targeting and looking to rank for.
And then I simply start pointing links to the root domain as well as inner pages to build up the authority of that website.

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 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...

How To Flip Domain Names For Fun And Profit

Years ago I came across a blog article about a guy that was in his mid 20s, who regularly made multiple five figures per month online... Simply flipping domains. Now, we're not talking about the kind of domain flipping where you invest in expensive branded domains and then resell those to a higher bidder. All he was doing was picking up  brand new domain names  for just the cost of registration...and flipping those to local businesses, over and over. Now, I had heard of things like this during the dot com boom, in the early days of the Internet, so I thought the idea of flipping domains was a lost art and there was no more opportunity in that. But, this was about 2011 or so, so it was way past the dot com bubble. Now, I mention that story to reinforce that you still didn't miss the domain flipping gold rush. Flipping domains for easy profits is something anyone can still do, and it's even easier to do these days. Now, what the guy I mentioned above was d...
