Why Consider Affiliate Marketing?
By Paula Beckam
Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to earn money online. You can establish a relationship or an agreement with a merchant's website without being directly involved in the sale of any product and still be compensated. You simply arrange to have that merchant's link on your website. If someone buys the product through your link, you get a commission.
One reason affiliate marketing is so appealing is because you don't need any sales experience for this business. And since you are advertising for another company's product you don't have to worry about any inventory, processing of orders or the shipping of any products. Another advantage is the absence of contracts that would commit you to the long term sale of any merchandise. If you're not making enough money on one item you can always try another one.
There are ways you can be compensated even if no one buys the product through your link. You can earn money without selling anything if enough people visit your website and you have a pay-per-click arrangement with an advertiser (Google is a very popular one). This method is very popular with affiliates since they can earn money whenever anyone visits their website and clicks on the site being advertised on their page.
For this to pay off it is vital to drive lots of traffic to your website. Therefore, your site needs to make it's way to the top of the search engines. It can be difficult to get a good search engine ranking, but with a little determination, persistence, and patience, along with the right tools it can be done.
Proper keywords are a necessary ingredient for a high search engine ranking, but you must also pay attention to keyword density. This refers to the number of times the selected keyword or key phrase appears on a web page. For more information about keyword density visit this page: http://keywordsperpage.blogspot.com.
There are of course other factors that contribute to successful affiliate marketing that are not discussed here. However, this is one of the simplest and most effective business opportunities available online today.
