Hello everyone, I’m sorry that nowadays I don’t write that often but I’m kind’a busy lately with my work and I don’t have the proper moment to write articles and research what’s happening around, so that instance I’ll post one very interesting SEO tactic for quick accumulation of high quality backlinks.
Affiliate Marketing as SEO?
Yep, everybody knows that affiliate marketing is extremely useful in terms of sales, but even better for SEO. The whole thing is that humans are so greedy about money that they will post your affiliate link on every page and even whether they don’t get any sales the link will still be there. Now the trick is to craft your Affiliate marketing scripts very carefully so that you will be able to control what’s being listed on that url and therefore benefit the most from it.
I’ve always love Amazon dot com for their innovative strategy (that’s back in the 90s) when they opened their first affiliate program. They were very smart and created keyword rich text hyperlinks with images loading from their own website for affiliate program that created numerous deep backlinks. that increased their rankings and nowadays they rule the books niche (actually few others also), and that is mainly due to that extremely smart affiliate link bait strategy.
I remember that few years ago I was so greedy that I put amazon affiliate ads on few of my websites. that multi-linking per page is really awesome deal for the linked website! so much link juice … I guess that explains why Amazon dot com now has 184 million backlink popularity! additionally the big thing about REL - Nofollow is not really common practice and the redirects are a big headache so only very small percentage will bother doing it.
One of the interesting things that I found with Google was that they do accept affiliate urls and they count fairly large percentage of them. The main reason is considering they are highly relevant to the linked page, they are located in top visible areas and that makes them pass very nice PR juice, and society do visit on them!
What I’m suggesting? whether you have a website that offers some services, start affiliate programs! Even whether you don’t form much profit due to revenue share, its still good considering you’ll get on top of the organic listings fairly quickly. Simple as that!
Also be aware of what type of linking structure you do considering that’s extremely urgent. The best way to form affiliate network is to use browser referred url as the affiliate id and use the clean html url as the link. that will bring you the maximum benefit! whether you think that you “affiliates” won’t agree to that soon after you can use the /file.html?affiliateid=123 style but never more than 1 parameter!!
If you need help in building your affiliate program just send us an e mail and we’ll work out something for you.
