Many people are looking for ways to help out their finances in these tough economic times, and end up searching online for different ways to make some extra spending money. Writing articles for to drive traffic to your affiliate offers is one of the ways that you can greatly improve your financial picture without having a rich uncle pass away and leave you in his will.
Articles you write should be targeted to specific long-tail key phrases if you want them to appear on the first few pages of Google – and should target long-tail key phrases that are popular enough to drive a sufficient amount of website traffic yet non-competitive enough to end up on the first page or two of Google.
This is a tricky task, but can be accomplished if you know how to go about it. Using Google’s keyword tool can find the keyword phrases you want – and will also tell you how many searches are conducted for that phrase each month. Selecting good phrases that have at least 100 searches every day will be the most valuable to you. Simply doing a search on the selected phrase will reveal how many unique website pages show up for that keyword phrase – and anything less than 1 million is worth targeting. If you can find phrases that have less than 1,000 competing web pages, yet has over 100 searches each day – you’ve struck oil.
Now – here’s a trick that most guru's will not show you – if you want to observe how many webpages are optimizing their website for your chosen long-tail keyword phrase, simply type intitle:"keyword phrase" – but be wary – Google will reveal to you something like this:
Results 1-10 of about 1,880 for intitle:"affiliate marketing system"
But if you are in the know, you’ll go to the bottom of the web page, and click over to the final search result page… where you’ll get a much more exact reported outcome – and many times it will be drastically different… here’s the result for the same search above:
Results 121-128 of 128 for intitle:"affiliate marketing system"
Rather a colossal difference, wouldn’t you agree? So be thorough – if you don’t take a look at the last page, you may ignore a perfectly good long-tail keyword phrase that you thought has too much competition.
Writing articles to send many visitors to the website of your choice should result in sales of up to 3% or more. For every 100 visitors you send to a affiliate sales page, you should be able to pick up 3 sales. If you end up with less than a three percent sales rate – you’ve picked the wrong affiliate product to promote, or your key phrases are not carefully chosen.
