SEO Methods For Affiliate Marketing

SEO methods for affiliate marketing cover many subjects. These subjects, which i will be covering in this post, will apply to how all the search engines operate. I do tend to lean more towards how Google works because new figures tell us that 71% of global searches online are done on Google. This figure rises to 75% on all local searches. It is still worth looking at Bing and Yahoo as 29% of internet users still equates to around 600 million. That is 600 million prospective customers you can reach out to.

SEO methods for affiliate marketing are always consistent and following these techniques will bring good search engine rankings. When Google looks at your website or blog, it will look for four basic things.

SEO methods for affiliate marketing

• Links
• Title
• Clean URL
• Keywords

LINKS

Links will give your site popularity in google’s eyes. Having links to other sites, especially authority sites will boost your reputation with search engines. Also, use some linking structure within your content to link to your other posts within your blog. This goes down very well with Google. The more content you produce, you will get used to linking your content to your information or products that you want to direct people towards.

TITLE

Good use and selection of your content title gives your content its relativity to the information it is introducing. There is no use in talking about horses if your title is ‘I love Cats!’ I know this sounds obvious and it is an exaggerated example but I see so many disjointed blog posts that have no chance of getting ranked where you want them. Have you noticed at the bottom of the google search results page that it runs from page 1 to page 10 then beyond? These pages are full of websites and blog posts that don’t have theme relativity or structure to them. So make sure your title is relative to the content. I can show you how to find the right sort of titles to help your content.

CLEAN URL

If you’re not sure what a clean URL is then take a look at the top of your screen and just below the blue band right at the top you’ll see the text box that you can type whatever website address you want to check out. The address that you type out is the URL. URL stands for uniform (or universal) resource locator – the address of a world wide web page. Google likes to see a clean URL which is to say http://www.adrianwhitworth.com is preferable to http://www.how-we-can-climb-up-ladders-in-the-dark-without-lights-on2356246246.net This is because it is better to have no more than around 15-17 characters, dot com is always ranked better, and symbols within the URL can delay your search engine ranking because it can be seen as spam. I have some training that can go into this a little deeper for you.

KEYWORDS

Keywords can be a huge subject so I’ll keep it simple with a link to my videos and posts.
keywords can be:

• Your Domain name
• Your content title
• A question you may put into a search engine
• Words that describe the information, products or services that describe your content.

SEO methods for Affiliate Marketing

So when looking at what keywords are or mean. They can be words or a phrase used in your URL, content title or content itself that are relative or ‘key’to the theme of the information in the site or blog. Google will index keywords and the words used around them. LSI keywords give your keywords more relevance. LSI stands for latent semantic indexing. What it basically means is that if you have a keyword which is ‘horse’, then LSI keywords would be stable, hooves, saddle ect. By using LSI keywords you will get ranked higher.

SEO methods for affiliate marketing as discussed in this post should be consistently followed and applied everytime to give your content the best possible chance of page 1 ranking in the search engines. By supplying the search engines with relevant URL, titles, content, links and keyword structure in your post you will get ranked high because you have a strong piece of information that is understandable and informative. And through good page ranking, you will have the best possible chance of making money online with affiliate marketing.

Choosing An Affiliate Marketing Training Program

October 28, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

Choosing An Affiliate Marketing Training Program

Choosing An Affiliate Marketing Training Program is a vital step towards building a successful business online. Most newbies who started in this business had a get rich quick attitude as they wanted the money without putting in the effort. No successful business in history made their money overnight. So get real and prepare yourself for education and application. This post is about what to look for when seeking marketing training online.

What Training Program Do You Decide On?

Choosing an affiliate marketing training program can be tricky as there are so many programs with hype and promises of giving you the secret to a fortune. The question you must ask yourself is can you get the training you need to succeed in the affiliate marketing industry? The answer i often hear is no. The affiliate training programs i have seen look great and plenty of effort goes into the tutorial videos, but they all fail because of one thing. There is no genuine one on one training or coaching involved.

One Common Mistake

If there’s one single major mistake that i see people making when getting involved in affiliate marketing is a lack of preparation and awareness of the work that is needed. Good homes have solid foundations and affiliate marketing businesses are no different. There are base foundations that we apply in affiliate marketing and I will come to that very soon.

What to look for in an affiliate marketing training program

You get what you pay for in this life so beware of programs that cost $37, $97 or $197. I bought my fair share of those and remember the feeling of my heart sinking when i started to make my way through them and realised it was all the same rubbish. After about 5 years I found my mentor and he taught me all of the base foundation subjects i needed. The main difference why this worked over all the other programs was one on one coaching and mentorship.

It took 60 days of intensive learning and applying the things he was teaching me. After those 60 days, i found the content on my website was consistently getting ranked on page one of the search engines. I had learned to direct free organic traffic to any product or service i wanted.

The subjects that need covering in affiliate marketing training are:

Keyword research
 Keyword density
 Content writing
 Content structure
 Link building
 Linking structure
 Social bookmarking
 Video marketing
 Funnel creation

Due Dilligence

Some programs and educational platforms can cost thousands. Most of these types of training platforms come with opportunities built in with a sponsor to ask questions when they are available. Solid research is needed here because of the cost of the training.

It is said that 90-95% of people that intend to make money online FAIL. Most of these people fail because of their bad attitude and laziness. You have to be focused and apply the techniques from your training. Creating content time and time again will drive traffic to your site. Because with lots of content, you will develop trust in your site and that will bring business.

Choosing an affiliate marketing training program or system comes with decisions to make, but when your research is completed just go for it. I found success, but it came from solid training and mentorship. Learning the base foundations is essential before any success is found.

Affiliate Marketing In A Bad Economy

Affiliate Marketing In A Bad Economy

With Adrian Whitworth

Affiliate marketing in a bad economy for some, will seem like a pointless exercise. But, for others, they will see it for what it really is - THE opportunity to get ahead. The economy has never made a difference to some of the most aggressive but successful entrepreneurs on the planet. In fact, recession has been the catalyst to take action. There is an estimated 2 billion people using the internet these days. The internet is beginning to flourish but is still relatively in its infancy. The majority of internet users are looking for new ways to earn extra money. They are looking to the internet to do it.

Business Opportunities

Affiliate marketing in a bad economy or strong economy is a great opportunity either way. The facts speak for themselves and these facts tell us that when people are struggling for some spare cash, they look for a secondary income. This is why affiliate marketing has held firm and actually flourished.

Finding an Affiliate Marketing Opportunity

There are literally thousands and thousands of affiliate programs out there in every type of niche you can imagine. Important tips in looking for your niche are:

Search bookseller sites to see what topics are hot. Yahoo homepage is also good. Look at TRENDING to see what the hot searches are.
Make sure the audience of a hot market are actually buying products. Look on Amazon and eBay for indicators.
Pick a niche with a huge audience.
Keep your eye out on the Click Bank gravity level. If it’s low, it tends not to sell. But then again, is it a rough diamond that other marketers haven’t seen? Check out my section on researching Clickbank products.
Look at the following vendors for products - Clickbank, Commision Junction, Plimus and Infusion Soft.

Researching your opportunity is the most important step in finding any success with this particular field.

What about the economy?

Some of us that have experienced success in affiliate marketing could probably present a long list of people who have developed incredibly successful businesses during the bleakest of times. Changing our personal situations comes from within, and will only be changed through education, determination and the willingness to put in the hard work.

Affiliate marketing in a bad economy can be a wonderful opportunity. But don’t be frightened of hard work. Put in the research and homework. Find the hot product in the market and go for it. Believe in yourself, and it could be the difference in changing your personal financial circumstances.
