What kinds of websites do the best affiliates use?

Hello

I've found some great keywords, chosen a domain name, and I've chosen an affilate product to promote. Now I need to create a website.

What I'm wondering is what kind of page/website will work best? I see terms like "squeeze page" and "landing page" and even "presell page" but what is the best???

I'll also add that:
- my keywords are a "how to" and the affiliate product answers the question
- I won't be doing any PPC advertising

Thanks in advance

I don't really have a real answer...

My best affiliate page uses "Best Books for _______"

It really depends on what the product is. Since you are not doing any PPC,
you can experiment.

If you don't do a full-sell page, you may want to harvest emails. Use a
variation of a pre-sell/landing page.

The landing page would explain what the problem/issue is, and what your
product will do to resolve it. This is what I would make your main index/domain
page.

You can then create bridge, squeeze, etc. pages and promote those.

Affiliate product pages are an iffy proposition. You may have to re-think
your PPC options.

I certainly would do a blog, squidoo, hub, eza, etc. to get the word out.

I'm just a little out of my comfort zone because I've never promoted as an affiliate to any great extent. I really just want to send people to the main offer don't I? And if i do then what kind of page do successful affiliates prefer to use on their domain for this?

I decided to email the owner of the product I'd like to promote and ask him what kind of site he'd suggest. He replied back within a couple hours with a sample of a site of one of his most successful affiliates
