Improve Your Affiliate Marketing Business With Proper Keyword Research

I have shared tips about how you can build your affiliate marketing business with article marketing. I think I left out a huge part of article marketing in my last post, keyword research for your articles. When your articles turn up on the search engine result page (SERP) after your prospects searched with the keywords, you will draw more readers to your site and get more exposure to your affiliate link. And when more people visit your link, you will be able to make more money with affiliate marketing.

I got attention right? So, let's see how we can do that.

1. Be in your customers' shoe

Do you know what your customers are thinking when they are looking for your affiliate product?

It is common that your prospects will put in general search terms when they are searching online. However, they might be looking for information about the topic instead of buying the product. What I recommend here is that you can put in "how to" or "tips" in your article.

So, instead of "make money with affiliate marketing", you can use the key phrases like "how to make money with affiliate marketing" or "make money with affiliate marketing tips".

When you use those key phrases, you further narrow down the people who will look at your affiliate product. And usually, these people are more interested to get your product to solve their issues.

2. Tool

Sometime, being in your customers' shoe is not enough to give you quality keywords and that is where keyword research tools come in. My personal favorite keyword research tools are,
I personally use these 3 tools when I am researching for keywords to focus my article on.

Just put in the general search term and look at the list the research tools have for you. If you just started with article marketing and keyword research, you will want to start focusing on keywords or key phrases with low search result. Blend these words and phrases into your title and content so that your articles can be shown in the search engine when someone searches for it.

Although you might not enjoy much traffic from low search keywords, these readers are more ready to get your product. And that is what you need to start feeling that you can make money with affiliate marketing.

By the way, some vendors will provide you a list of the common keywords that your customers will use to look for your affiliate product. You can put those keywords in the tools above and see what other keywords that turn up.

As you can see keywords are very important for your affiliate marketing success. You don't want to waste time and effort writing articles that aren't targeted. Since now you have the knowledge to basic keyword research, use that wisely.

Create your success,
