keywords, opt in list, affiliate website...

Make sure you use exact match when looking for keywords. Competing pages must be low NOT adwords competition. AW competition must be high.

first of all get some hosting as free hosting won't help you much if you want to do this professionally and want to build a list which i would suggest that you do.

Blog and website both are effective to run as an affiliate site if you know what you are doing, and if you want you can mix the both in the same site, the front end being the main website.

Don't clutter your website with many affiliate offers from various sources as it'll confuse your site visitors. Why not start with couple of offers from one source and then expand keeping in view the results of these offers.

You have three big problems here, any one of which can prevent you from earning money through affiliate marketing.

The first is that you're looking at everything only in terms of SEO and rankings and search engine traffic. The sooner you have a major change of perspective and strategy about that, the sooner your chances will improve a lot. SEO traffic isn't typically much good for affiliate marketing, and a big reason why the success-rate is so low is that it's most people's main approach.

The second is that you're breaching WordPress.com's terms of service, and as soon as a staff member there sees your blog, it will disappear. No form of monetization is allowed at WordPress.com - it's for "hobby bloggers" only. You need to change your hosting arrangements urgently. (Stay away from Web 2.0 sites you don't own and control - whatever you do, don't switch from WordPress.com to Blogger: that would be "out of the frying-pan and into the fire"!). If you want free hosting, this thread might help you (there are some suggestions for reliable, decent free hosts in it - don't listen to people telling you that "free hosting" is no good, because they're thinking of WordPress.com and Blogger.com and the risks of those places, but they're completely overlooking all the other ways you can have free hosting where you do own and control your own site): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8275113

Yes. This is the third problem: you're not listbuilding.

Your entire website, sales funnel and marketing process should be designed around that. For affiliate marketing, the primary purpose of your website should be to collect the visitors' email addresses. That's where the money is. Without building the email-list and sending the emails to promote the product, there's usually no income worth talking about.

In affiliate marketing, most of the money comes from two sources: one is repeatedly selling different items to people who trust your recommendations, and the other is "keeping people going to the vendor's sales page, and to your own site" (because very, very few people buy anything at their first visit, so you need a way to keep them re-visiting, otherwise you just lose nearly all your traffic!), and without building your list, you can't do either of these two things. Without an opt-in list, you're chasing maybe 10% of the money (maybe quite a bit less) and ignoring 90%+ of it.

There are a few hundred threads in this forum with titles similar to "What's The One Thing You'd Do Differently If You Were Starting Again Tomorrow?". Take a look through a small sample of them, and you'll find that one of the things they all have in common is that they're full of replies from long-established, successful Warriors almost all of whom give the same answer: the thing they'd do differently, with what they know now but didn't know when they started, is "start to build a list on day 1". There are reasons for that, and they're very good and very valid reasons.
