I decided its time to really get serious with clickbank and affiliate marketing and I now have a domain and found some products I am interested in promoting from clickbank and now I need to start work on the website itself this is were I am wondering what is best? I was thinking about doing a small site maybe 2-3 pages with the main page a big landing page to sell them then when they click a find out more or get it here link it would be the affiliate link. OR should I create a site using wordpress and looking to gain traffic from free sources like SEO and maybe some paid traffic. Also if anyone has some examples of GOOD landing pages or affiliate type sites that run of wordpess could you send me a link to check them out or post them here? They do not have to be your sites just pages you seen or sites that were well made and is something that you would recommend?
I'm glad you asked this. I've been thinking about this lately. I think with blogging you have the ability to draw in much more organic traffic from search engines and social networking sites. This is good for long term, but you do have to be consistent in building content. While with a landing page, you throw it up, and while you might change things here and there, you are pretty much done. I think the challenge with the landing page becomes how you will drive traffic... PPC? Articles? I'd also be interested in seeing good examples of blogs that make money off of affiliate products.
ya i like the idea of wordpress and getting seo traffic the best but im not sure how to make it convernt well. I mean theres only so much you can talk about in a certain niche?
Yeah, I wonder the same thing. Say you dedicate a blog to promoting one affiliate product. Do you just passively put a link on the side of your blog and hope people click it? Or do you some how mention the product in every single post? But then what to write about if after all you're promoting only one product? I'm interested in hearing more people's thoughts.
what im thinking is you set up a wordpress blog about your product and place some links or image ads in key locations and in all your posts try to have a link to the product or compaire the product with others in the niche and have links to both maybe?
Believe it or not, you can talk a lot in any niche. I have a driving test blog with over 70 posts. I write there daily. Yes, I use mainly content from other places (I devote two days a week for my original content - news commentary and articles), but I still add my personal words to everything (I don't just copy and paste articles, I write something before and after, otherwise it's very boring). Traffic? Yes, mainly from Digg and Google. This niche isn't searched for too often, so I don't get a hundred visitors per day, but I can still fill up my list. Outside of the blog I use static landing pages to promote my product and other products. The blogs refer to the landing pages, and I also write articles to promote those pages. Choose whatever you want, but remember this: by blogging you don't only start to look as an expert, you become an expert. As long as you write something or use others' articles and read them, you learn a lot. nadavs
Hey Nadavs, Thanks for your input i was just looking at your Water for Gas link is that a good landing page that converts should we be making pages that present the product like you present yours? Were trying to get a idea of what works
