Hi,

I've not been having much success getting organic search traffic to my clickbank sites. I have blogs on these sites and have tried to build up the content but I'm wondering if affiliate sites with salespages struggle with rankings. I have a few questions if anyone can help?

1. Would a pure free content site always outrank a clickbank salespage and blog attached?

2. Are clickbank sites hard to rank because of higher bounce rate, some affiliates duplicating your content? Affiliates linking from poor quality sites?

3. If you take your salespage off the homepage and put it on a different page of the site, would this make a difference to rankings?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks, Phil

    Well have you built any links? Content wont rank itself unless its a keyword that has no competition.

    1 page sites are still ranking in Google so imo leaving your sales page would be fine.

    What you need to focus on is building links to your site and waiting. It wont happen overnight, but it also doesn't have to take months. Focus on what works and do that

    Hey,

    I would say that it would be best to build pages that pre-sell your CB offer and that point to your affiliate links.

    You will have a much easier time ranking these and your traffic would convert at a much higher rate.

    However, more isn't always good, but you want to focus on your content and the amount of value that you provide in your pages that pre-sell your offer.

    Hope this Is a helpful tip!

    The risk with a ClickBank site is that it's going to be hard to avoid writing thin content. You also shouldn't have affiliate links on every page of content.

    As Josh said, you need to pre-sell your content. Basic content marketing. I'm not talking about setting up a link network per se. You just want to rank your pre-sell site and send traffic to your site that's marketing more aggressively. Site B won't rank well, but that's okay.

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    Great question, and the reason you are having trouble ranking is because if you are pushing a product from clickbank, why would Google pull up your site, when they could just as easily pull up the actual product creators site when someone searches for the product you are selling....

    remember, Google says that their goal is to provide the most "relevant" results.

    How I combat this in affiliate marketing is to have all of my affiliate links on separate pages on my blog, and the pages I make sure that they do not get indexed in Google.

    For example....you have a blog post, and you promote the product on your post, then you link to another pag on your blog, and that page will have the actual affiliate links on it....

    I hope that makes sense, if not, just PM me

    Good luck!

    1. If the clickbank site is not riddled with affiliate links, it should rank just fine.

    2. Those factors might influence the ease of ranking a clickbank site, but the quality matters most. Most clickbank sites won't pass a manual review.

    3. Yes, if your sales page contains too many affiliate links
