Affiliate Marketing Strategies

Posted on Feb.21, 2009, under Adwords

I have been thinking lately about strategies for affiliate marketing.
My strategy for the past 3 months was generally to look for a unique niche product with low competition and unique keywords with high search volume and low competition.
I was afraid of competition & afraid of the need to pay high CPC.

So I tried one campaign after the other, each of them with low CPC and high position keywords.
The results were not remarkable, to say the least. Low conversion rates.

This week I’ve been thinking, maybe there is a reason why these words have very low competition. Maybe there is a reason why these products have low Clickbank gravity. Maybe the reason is that those don’t convert well.

Therefore, my new strategy is to go for high gravity products and pretty high competition keywords. And how I will be unique from all the other advertisers in the adwords arena? I will write good ads and good landing pages.

Another question that occurred to me is maybe I am not risking enough money. Like all of us, I am afraid to lose, so I go for low CPC and low daily budget for each campaign (about $30). I think I need to risk more and be afraid less!

What is your affiliate marketing strategy? I will be happy to hear.

I think you should do like I’m doing this days, I’m trying to get into high competition niches, but… in Adcenter or YSM, that way I could get lower cpc on high converting words, and start testing that market..

finally you post again, looking forward for your next post

Hi tcw,
The question “what would be a good content website for affiliates”, is a very wide question and not easy to answer.
Basically the best thing to do is thing of the visitor and what he would like to find.
Good luck!
