Every affiliate marketer is faced with the decision of how to driver traffic to their landing page. There are basically two ways to get traffic. One is through paid search (PPC) and the other is through natural means (SEO).
Now PPC can be setup and running in literally 15 minutes and for terms that are not too competitive, one can start making money rather quickly because the cost of the clicks are fairly low for non-competitive terms and so there’s more likelyhood for a positive ROI.
SEO on the other hand takes longer to setup, get indexed, and ranked. However, if done right, it will provide a ton of free traffic, and all sales will be pure profit. And in this day and age, in order to get decent rankings one must build incoming links. The more competitive the market/keyword is, the more incoming links are needed.
Luckily, with a bit of understanding and planning, link-building can be easily done and start bringing results rather quickly. This video below shows you how it’s done and what Google is really looking for. The first half of the video give you a game plan of what the monetization site looks like and how it’s set up, and the second part of the video shows the SEO side of things, mainly how to build links so that you can dominate. Enjoy!
