Long Tail...

Are you targeting common keywords or long tail keywords for your affiliate marketing business?
Many internet marketers go into internet marketing with keywords or key phrases that are commonly used by other internet marketers. It is normal to think that your prospects will look for your product with common keywords. Your competitors think the same.

When that happens, your website will rank low on the SERP (search engine result page) because you are sharing the same keywords with don't know how many other websites.

That is why you should start looking into long tail keywords. These keywords are cluster of words that is low competition and targeted.

Let's take the example of "affiliate marketing". By the time this post was written, "affiliate marketing" has 802 searches a day and 1,190,000 websites competing for a top 10 ranking on Google SERP. That is a lot of competitors if you are just starting in the business.

Then, when you try "make money with affiliate marketing", there are only 4 searches a day and 5270 websites competing for the top 10 Google ranking.

Now, as a wise affiliate marketer, which keyword will you choose to use? Of course is the long tail keyword. Besides, when you look at the 2 keywords, you can see that the long tail keyword also rules out a lot of untargeted traffic. People might be just looking for information about affiliate marketing instead of the opportunity to make money with it.
