Affiliate Marketing is one of the best ways to attract interest in a new website. The main problem with this is often a lack of knowledge of how to attract potential customers to the site and then get them to actually buy the promoted product. Beginners frequently don't know how to select the best keyword/ phrase to achieve ranking in search engines, or how words/ phrases are ranked. How to achieve adequate, quality backlink indexing is another question regularly raised. Below is an easy to follow guide detailing some simple tactics to deal with these important factors.
Before trying to get a ranking for any particular word/ phrase, it is of great importance to understand the intent in the searcher's mind. Does he/ she simply wish to find some relevant information, or are they looking for a specific product/ solution they wish to buy? While most people resent paying for information, they are usually prepared to buy a solution tailored to suit a specific problem.
Bearing this concept in mind, the next step is to choose the product. This should be a well researched product, so both the product and - most importantly - the problem it fixes can easily be written about. Step three is to write an informative article about the problem, how it is likely to affect readers and a detailed solution not using the product. This may sound wrong, but it allows the writer to then detail a much easier solution which involves using the promoted product.
The next step involves getting traffic. Whilst this can be done using pay per click traffic, I prefer to use SEO to generate organic traffic from the search engines. Personally, I find this to be more highly targeted, and much longer lasting without the need to lay down any costs.
Generally, I will submit a handful of high quality original articles to various online directories, and I may even write a press release for distribution through one of the many distribution services. You can also spread the word via social media, social bookmarking, or even follow a handful of the various methods of SEO that are available to be taught online.
As a final note, it should be made clear that affiliate marketing is a tricky, very much hit and miss affair. Only one or two out of every five campaigns are likely to be successful, at least to start with. With perseverance and practice, it becomes easier to understand what will actually induce individuals to buy a product. This leads to improved selection of relevant keywords, resulting in higher rankings. This in turn will produce greater numbers of successful runs and increasing backlink indexing rates. Subsequent success rates will rise accordingly.
