Affiliate Marketing is All About Content and Writing

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Most people realize that publishing original content is the best way to increase your search engine traffic.  When you add new pages to your site, like articles and product reviews, you give the search engines like Google and Yahoo something new to comeback and process. Search engines love it when they find new content on your site because they are eager to get fresh content into their search results. That’s why blogs and websites powered by content management systems like Word Press do well in the search engines and make it easier for their site owners to publish new pages. The search engines are also looking at other factors relating to how long people are staying on your pages once they have arrived at them through organic search results. The search engines want to see how “sticky” your website or blog is by looking at visitor behavior on your site, so its important to write good copy that readers will continuing reading and stay a while. If visitors are “bouncing” from your site really quickly back to the search results or to other urls, it’s not a good reflection on your site.

So what type of articles should you be writing for your site? It depends on the theme of the site, but you should generally write about things that intuitively people would want to read on that type site. I’m a big fan of putting up niche sites on deticated .coms.  Which is why we built our affiliate site building tool. For example, if you are promoting an online dating affiliate program, you would want to write about how to meet new people and the general benefits of online dating. You could write about find a date in Miami or other cities and states because people search for “Online dating in Miami, Florida” for example. If you have a deticated page on your site for hundreds of topics related to online dating, over time you will build your organic traffic to your site. Search eninges also love it when you add content daily or even several times per day. They also generally like longer pieces and that goes back to the stickyness of your site. Another smart thing to do is to add a newsletter sign-up box to your site, this can be done using a “plug-in” with Word Press for example. Once you have some people signed up to your site’s newsletter you can send them monthly e-newsletters and expose them to articles and affiliate program banners.

Writing is one of those things that you should seek to get better at over time. I have found that the more I read books and online editorials, and write, the better my writing has become. I have taken some basic writing courses in the past, but reading well-written articles and books others have written can provide excellent insight into good writing styles. Typing speed is also a big factor in getting more content online. Let me know if these tips help. I look forward to working with all affiliates and future affiliates!

Article Marketing – How To Make Profit Using Redirecting Pages

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

A very simple tutorial which will lead you to earn money online via article marketing, an author at EzineArticles is using .info domain names and simply redirecting them to affiliate pages (mainly ClickBank products) to make money.

Let’s take a look at his article tactics which we got from One of his article:

 article2

The first thing you should notice about all of his articles is the title. For example, his typical article title for his niches are :

The Best Insomnia Cure
Dealing With Consistent Headaches
3 Ways To Cure Insomnia

Notice his article titles are capitalized which can help draw the reader to the article title. However, let’s focus on the body of his articles and see what he is doing.

Here is just one of his many articles and as you can see you should notice several things as shown:

 article1

As you can see the first thing you should notice is the Article title. The words are capitalized. A good article title can help to draw attention and this Author has capitalized the headline. However, the body of the article could be improved since the article is just 255 words. A good article can be between 300-500+ words with good solid content.
You should also notice the key thing here. This Author is buying cheap .info domain names for as little as 99 cents (from GoDaddy) and redirecting them to clickbank products.

However, if you notice his resource box he could have said something more attractive like:
“You can finally overcome your painful rotator cuff injury by downloading our Special LIMITED or FREE report at [[URL LINK]]".

This can help draw the reader to click on the URL link once they have finished reading the article since we are targeting people with a “problem” and our article is supposed to be “the solution”.  The Author is using certain tactics to help draw the reader to click on the URL link. The format of his articles are excellent, it talks about the subject and the benefits and also the problems.

He is using again a .info domain name which is redirecting to an affiliate link. EzineArticles allows people to redirect their domain name to an affiliate link in this format http://www.domain.com but not in this format http://www.domain.com/folder1

As you can see this Author again uses the same style to draw the reader to click on the URL. So he is simply buying cheap .info domain names regarding his niche and redirecting them to a good affiliate Clickbank product that would convert to a sale.
