Bringing traffic to affiliate websites

The best way to attract as much traffic as possible to your affiliate website is to find out which keywords and phrases will best optimize your site. The more popular a keyword or phrase is in the search engines, the more business it generates. But, this also means more competition.

Once you have a list of keywords and phrases, use the competition to find out what’s happening in your niche. This will help to determine which keywords and phrases are more important, are used most often, and which will be easier to claim for your own use.

•  Analyze your best competitors.
• Notice which sites appear on the top ten lists by searching for the most evident keywords and phrases.
• Check the competitive sites, look at the content of their pages, under what categories they present it, analyze titles, descriptions, links, and so on.
• Perform searches with the keywords and phrases on your list. What do you find? What do the Google Adwords display for these search terms?

Focus your energy on intermediate keywords, where you have a chance to claim a top ten position in Google. The most important keywords and phrases for your niche will also be the most important ones for your site in the long run.

Subject Categories

Which popular keywords and phrases relate to the subject categories? Lay out a strategy for when and how you'll tackle the keywords and phrases that appear to be the most promising ones.

Create Quality Content

For your site to start ranking high in search engines, you'll need to produce fifteen to twenty pages of good, relevant content. Also, try to get a couple of links from some authoritative sites in the niche. These will speed things up with the search engines.

When the site is up, let the search engines index your site and start the ranking process. Once the site has been noticed, start your regular updating routine, and publish a couple of new pages each day, or each week, to prove that the site is alive and interesting for visitors.

High quality content will automatically catch the search phrases of your niche. Rather than focusing your efforts on the easy but unprofitable search phrases, focus on optimizing more important keywords.

Search engines are getting more and more refined. Nowadays they'll even track the "success" for visitors that they send to your site. If the visitors tend to stay on your site rather than coming straight back to the search page, this is a sign that your site matched what they were searching for, and the ranking of your site will profit from this.

Good Landing Pages

When you have chosen a number of keywords to optimize for, you need to create landing pages for each of them. The purpose of a landing page is to "take care" of visitors that come from the search engines. You want your  visitors to "click" through to your merchants. If you can deliver this, you'll be on your way to making a living by guiding web visitors.
