Some tips if you are promoting affiliate products through your website or blog
Hey Warriors! I just wanted to share a few tips with you all if you are promoting affiliate products through your websites or blogs. When I first started affiliate niche blogging, I made a lot of mistakes and ended up wasting a lot of money and time. So, here are a few tips and things to avoid if you are starting out...
1. Do NOT use copied content or free PLR articles. This can get you penalized by Google for duplicate content!
2. Do NOT use spun articles or content. Visitors to your website or blog reading the articles will know it was not "naturally" written by a real person. This will hurt your sales and conversion rates!
3. Do NOT get thousands of backlinks pointed to your website or blog all at once. This wouldn't happen with a normal website and Google sees this as suspicious which can get you penalized. The same applies for article directory submissions, forum profiles, link wheels or anything else SEO. Get it done little by little and at a steady and regular pace. If you do decide to end up pointing thousands and thousands of backlinks...be sure to continue to do so for Link Velocity.
4. Do NOT forget to ping all of your backlinks. Let Google know that they exist or they won't help you out with your ranking.
5. Do NOT forget to research your competition. You don't want to spend a lot of time and effort into SEO and then realize you won't be able to outrank your competition without months of work. I focus on making blogs that can get ranked in non-competitive niches for my keyword fast and without any strong competition.
6. Do NOT only have high PR and 'Dofollow' backlinks. You want a mix of 'Nofollow' and 'Dofollow' and also a mix of high and low or no PR backlinks as this looks natural to Google.
7. If you are outsourcing work, always do your due diligence. Make sure that person has a proven track record or good reviews associated to their work.
8. Do NOT forget to check if the articles you receive from your outsourcers are actually original before posting. You can use Copyscape (Copyscape Plagiarism Checker - Duplicate Content Detection Software) to check the articles.
There you go, hopefully this will help a few people out. When I first started out, I made every mistake I possibly could and didn't make a dime. Only after reading and learning a lot did I finally start to make money with my websites.
Good luck!
