Affiliate site seo question

I am setting up a wordpress site promoting [enter niche name here] affiliate products. I am going for a store like look and am using storestarta theme for wordpress. I am using product links from shareasale.

Right now I have the website closed for "construction". I plan to get at least 10 items/posts and a couple 500 word articles written up.

My main concern is SEO and driving traffic to my site. What would be the best practices for SEO? For the articles? for the site?

Thanks

    You need good on-page optimization and authority backlinks.

    - Don't keyword-stuff your articles.
    - Interlink your articles.
    - Include images and videos where necessary.
    - Make sure you insert your target keywords in your articles' titles.
    - Build authority backlinks (tiered links, guest posts, PBNs).
    - Avoid pointing spammy backlinks directly to your site.
    - Avoid building too many backlinks within a short period of time.
    - Be patient.

    These are some of the SEO best practices you need to follow to succeed in gaining massive traffic through SEO.

    Hello,
    Each business strategy is different.

    1. I would sketch from zero all the work starting with the keywords analysis. For the long tails - you can simply focus on the area where you live too "Manchester Red Bathrooms towels" - example...
    2. Move to content/contexts/headlines.
    3. If It's a local business that's better - go with the Google map listing which is very important. If not I skip that. and go just with Google Authorship in both cases.
    4. Follow the CTA (Call-to-Action) - Link Structure (Build linking relationship between on site pages to improve linkability ) - Site architecture - Action Ratio. All need to have a very good connection.
    5. Optimize each web page using Yoast Pro or other SEO framework
    6. Tracking the performance of conversions on the site
    7. Make recommendations for off page optimization. Contact Local - Regional - National Bloggers where we can't influence anchor texts, widgets or BIOs.
    8. Start the Social Pages. Go and start campaigns by demographic areas and if possible after niche.
    9. Try to gain some influencers on our G+ page so we can have a good share integration.
    10. Community services. Integrate on top forums and actually bring value to the boards. Forget about the backlinks benefit. Actually give really good results, really good value to what we post,answer there to gain trust, awareness.
    11. Digg for natural links. This keeps the engines active no matter what.
    12. No follow attribute for all the backlinks build out there.
    13. Classic SEO momentum - Turn the CTA(Call-to-Action) to a valid Click!
    14. Distribute content. Rich content, with more than 500 words!
    15. Interact with social activity - go to charity, spread flyere, become known local - and get listed on Chamber of Commerce website!
    16. For products which have almost same but only difference is the colour and size - use canonical tag!
    17. If the On Page is done right you can have results faster than 2 months.
    18. Build the social page platforms - Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pintinterest and merge them with your On page. Each time you share something to appear on your social pages as well. Focus on your demographic area first if you will start with some PPC advertise on Facebook and AdWords.
    19. Create your landing pages focusing on what a client might want or search! Don't create the content just because you think is good! Sometimes we go on the wrong direction because of that. We are too selfish.
    20. If you want to know what your searchers look go on Google Trends and test out the keywords you want to optimize.
    21. Don't start optimizing until you have content ready. And YES - Have a blog on your website where to share content regular!
    22. For the Pinterest start with a button on the website, include the profile widget and start to share a LOT. Pin A lot of images. Comment on Popular Pins..etc.

    23. Repeat!

    Hope this journey will help you.
    If you need more help PM me,
    Sincerely,
    Matt

    Consistency, consistency, consistency.
    SEO takes months to build and anyone that tells you otherwise is a big fat liar. Do what everyone here has told you already, on page keyword optimization, BTW for WordPress I recommend something like SEO by yoast (good plug-in you should add).

    I can not recommend this enough.... Social linking! Create FB, youtube and Google plus accounts and repost snippets with links back to your site their. CREATE ENGAGEMENT with your followers, it will be slow to begin with but it will grow.

    This will create MAJOR backlinks to your site and is easier to rank then just relying on SEO. If you are still after some sort of backlink building automation I would also recommend this: CLICK HERE (aff link)
