Hay guys, As a affiliate product manager at MoreNiche, Im always looking for things to suggest to my affiliates to help them promote their sites organically. Below is a list of generic SEO based ways to promote a site. Can anyone think of any other good ideas that I might be missing? Personally I've only really been involved in SEO for about 2 years, so I know i have a lot more to uncover - Publishing articles on your own site - Publishing articles on third party article site - Advertising your website on free or paid listing sites - Identifying popular keywords and incorporating them into your site - Creating a forum presence and promoting your site through it - Creating regular new landing pages and content to attract new audiences - Publishing videos on third party video sites - Creating or participating in social networking site groups - Answering relevant questions on Yahoo Answers - Adding your products to Googleshop - Attempting to reference Wikipedia articles to yourself (is it true what they say that Wikipedia has no follow tags?) - Ensuring metatags are keyword rich and relevant - Ensuring headings / h1 / h2 tags are keyword rich and relevant Can anyone add any other good ideas to my list? Cheers Andy
- Build useful online tools that would interest the demographic - Create a excently piece of software for them to download. I believe the best way to ligitatment get traffic through SEO is to create something of value.
Depends on whether they are trying to build affiliate sites for organic traffic or affiliate landing pages for paid traffic. They each have pros and cons IMO. I'm assuming since you are concerned w/ SEO that they would be building affiliate sites for organic traffic. I wouldn't even bother trying to make a true 1 page site's landing page rank. If you did and it started to rank, chances are you'd get reported and buried in the SERPs or deindexed. The most important thing IMO is for them NOT to throw up 5 pages with a link to your site to convert and expect that to rank. Google hates thin affiliate sites or affiliate landing pages showing up in their SERPs. As Nixies said, their site needs to provide the visitor something of value in relation to the term they searched for. If Google discovers a thin affiliate site or a 1 page site/landing page in the SERPs they will typically bury it in the SERPs. Google has Quality Raters who are constantly manually reviewing and evaluating pages appearing in the SERPs. They flag URLs as being relevant, useful, or spam depending on certain criteria... To prevent their pages from being flagged as spam they should provide useful information for the consumer or at least one or more links to a page or pages where they can find the information they were originally searching for. Ultimately, ranking is MOSTLY about a page's inbound links. The prefered type of link is a FOLLOWed link from a relevent page on another site (as well as internal pages) with link text containing the keyword phrase (exact match) or one or more keywords from the keyword phrase (partial match) that you are trying to rank for. So anything they can do to get inbound links with good link text will boost their rankings. PS: Yes... Wikipedia links are NOFOLLOW links and according to Matt Cutt's will not help your rankings, at least at Google.
