Thank you so much, I must say very informative article and I will try to improve myself as well as my site before starting affiliate. Keyword research would never be a problem.
Thank you very much again to all of you for providing guidance, other members can also get valuable infromation from this thread

Hey Mark
First of all, welcome! This is not to demoralise you of course, but ‘potentially’ you have a long and rocky way ahead of you. From what I (guess I’ve) learned over the months, I would suggest the following (some of it sounds so obvious, but sometimes the coin just drops a little later):
- Start small and try to focus on a niche that you feel you can provide for and has potential to convert. Something like online slots or table games.
- Plan in advance i.e. lay out your set of keywords you want to target within that niche and focus on those. I wouldn’t start with more than 10 to 20. Periodically add new ones to the mix once you see first successes with your initial target words. If you go all in with too many right at the start, you’re watering it down too much and may not rank for anything, at least for a while.
- Check out other sites to get ideas without copying their stuff of course…
- Work with affiliate programs where you know they generally convert well with your target audience. There’s no point promoting a product no one has heard of in your region (unless targeting worldwide).
- Do you know how to maintain a site or have a good idea of SEO? Maybe get together with someone you can count on, who has one or another skill set and try building the project up together.
Of course there is loads of other advice, but one thing you will always hear is work hard, have patience and don’t expect a banner farm to do (too) well. I have only recently started figuring out certain elements myself that, if they would have been applied correctly from the start, would probably see me further ahead in the game. Well, better now than never
Anyone disagree, please let me know, but I would (currently) summarise the whole thing as such:
- Good content / but not a SEO whizz = no immediate success in sight.
- Good content / basic SEO understanding = low to intermediate success within a few months to a year.
- SEO whizz = Just arrange for the content and let your SEO skills do the rest (you may not even be interested in the products. It’s all about the sales of course).
What I’m trying to say is, that the industry pros or affiliates with an actual industry or affiliate background (partner side) have an advantage or the edge over a beginner in terms of knowledge and contacts. While you’re learning step by step, they already know which buttons to press.
Would like to hear other people’s input. Thanks!
