Affiliate Marketing 101 Question

2 replies
Hey, everyone.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I DID search around trying to get an answer to this, but apparently it's such an Affiliate Marketing 101 question that nobody's talking about it. Here goes: What kind of content goes on an affiliate marketing site? Don't hit!!! I know articles are the primary way to go - that's the big one people talked about in my search results -but is that it? I'm just trying to understand the basics, here. Let me see if I've got this down; you pick a niche you're really interested in, find products associated with that topic, build a site around that topic, and put affiliate links on the site, right? But you've gotta drive traffic with your content, right? So what kind of content do you use? Is it all just articles or are there other options? I've actually got an idea for some videos I think I could use. (Not porn. Well, not QUITE porn; no nudity).

Anyway, again, just trying to understand the basics. Still looking for a mentor, by the way. Thanks, guys.

    It's always good to be entertaining and controversial. Besides articles, you will see themed image collections, data/statistics compilations, loan calculators, interactive astrology readers, put your face in a video services.

    Videos have proven to be quite powerful, in part because they more easily rank in search results, seemd to be a search engine bias for videos.

    you might rank more easily at the start by not having affiliate links, you might wait until your nearing 1000 visitors a month before appearing commercial to the search engines.

    I use articles as a content to drive traffic. Videos is a great method as well, but it is harder to create a video than an article.
