How To Market Your Affiliate Marketing Website Or Blog

It is absolutely crucial that you build your website or blog for your affiliate marketing business. Let's just imagine that you already have your own marketing platform (I will refer your website or blog as marketing platform from here on), do you have any idea to market your platform? Have you ever consider search engine optimization (SEO)?

To the contrary of many believe, SEO is not as difficult as you think. In fact, you can get started after you read this post.

1. Include keywords

You might not have look into this before but including keyword into your URL can be very helpful in SEO. I wasn't aware of this when I started this blog and that is why it doesn't really look SEO friendly.

Still, that is not the end of the world. What you can do is to include keywords in your contents. It is said that the search engine spider nowadays focus more on the keywords in the contents instead of metatags. This can be very good news for those who are not so good in building website from scratch.

A word of caution is that you will want to include the keywords into your contents discreetly. Imagine that you are reading post fill with the phrase of "make money with affiliate marketing". What do you think? Immediately you will know that the marketing platform owner is practicing some kind of SEO strategy.

Another tip for you is that you are not limited to only one keyword. You can use a few keywords and rotate them in your post. That way, your content will not look so dull.

2. Research keywords

Since you have seen the power of keywords, it is important that you research the right keywords to be included into your content.

Successful affiliate marketers research their keyword before they publish their content. Just click here to use the free keyword research tool. Then you will know how many people are looking for your affiliate product with that keyword.

When you run into popular keywords with high daily searches, you can even dig deeper with the keyword tool to find keywords with less competition. You can then use those keywords in your content to attract more responsive customers.

3. Learn more

As how I see it, SEO is going to stay as a marketing strategy and it is going to evolve in the future. Since that is the case, why don't we learn more about it and use it to help us make money with affiliate marketing?

Luckily, you can get all the necessary information online and the best part is that it is free. All you need to do is to Google "learn search engine optimization" and probably you will spend years to finish reading them.

Create your success,
