There are two other ways to profit from knowing most expensive keywords. The first doesn’t even require you to own or operate a website. In this method, you advertise using inexpensive means (e.g., via pay-per-click advertising on inexpensive keywords or CPM advertising) and direct traffic to high paying affiliate offers. The second method is to set up your own search engine. There are several companies that allow you to easily set up a search engine that serves PPC ads syndicated from Google, Overture or other PPC search engine networks. Once you create your engine, you can drive traffic directly to your PPC results, and get paid every time someone clicks on one of results. Likewise, on your search engine’s home page, you can include many links to expensive keywords, so that when someone clicks on it, engine shows expensive ads based on those keywords.

Understanding keyword pricing is critical to online advertising, PPC search engine and affiliate marketing businesses – businesses that combine for over $25 billion a year in revenues. With a market of this size, generating substantial profits, if you have right information, is really not that challenging.

I think answer is clear – you much rather have someone RECOMMEND something. So, do same on your websites – let your consumer choose what link they click on (your conversions will go through roof).

4. Not Giving Away FREE Products:

Another mistake I see done on almost 98% of websites I visit – they have absolutely no viral marketing build into their system. If you want to hook someone and build loyalty, put some of your best information into a small PDF – give it away for free and watch your sales and traffic multiply. NOTE: This is a more long-term strategy so be patient…

5. Hard-Selling:

If you know anything about affiliate marketing, then you’ve heard of “PRE-SELL” – well it’s a shocker that most people never use it. PRE-SELL is when you warm up to your visitor with some good content and information and then slowly “recommend” them to buy something.

I also never thought this would work until I tried it. Hard-selling is what your merchant should be doing, you, however, should avoid it at all costs.

6. Too Much Going On…

This mistake is a bit related to “Too many banners” mistake. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have WANTED to buy something but just couldn’t find right link to do it.

Some affiliate websites have a million things going on – reader gets so confused that they hit back button and “poof,” never come back. Keep your pages targeted and clean – go for ONE goal – to get click over to merchant(s) you’re promoting.

Golden Rule: The more you show them, more confused they get.

I highly suggest reading those 6 again – they are very important to master if you want to become a super affiliate one day. Even I am going back to my old projects and still fixing my mistakes – they’re all over place. But, second I fix them, I see an enormous difference, you will too.
