Affiliate Marketing Tips

The best affiliate marketing tips can be summed up in one word - relevancy. Relevancy is the key to success in affiliate marketing. Relevancy means giving the searcher exactly what they are looking for. If you do this, they will click on your affiliate links, make purchases, and you will earn commissions.

Relevancy using free marketing methods (such as article marketing or Squidoo) means, first of all, optimizing your article for the keywords (search terms) the searcher has entered into the search box. These keywords should be in the url, the title, the subtitles, and comprise around 2-3% of the content. But it isn't enough just to have the keywords. The content of your article must be informative and begin to answer the question or fulfill the desire the searcher is looking for. Then your link must lead to a product or site that is the complete solution.

When you spend money to advertise, relevancy is critical to your success. This is especially true for pay per click advertising in the search engines such as Google. Relevancy here requires that the keyword be prominent in your search engine ad, that your landing page be optimized for the keyword, that your website be full of good content closely related to the keyword, and that your product fully answers the problem or fulfills the desire of the searcher. If any piece of the relevancy puzzle is missing, your campaign will fail. Either your click costs will become too high to make a profit, or you will fail to get enough sales, or both. But when relevancy is apparent throughout the sales process, you get clicks and sales, and Google rewards you with much lower click costs.
