Why Your Affiliate Marketing Isn’t Converting
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s a common problem in affiliate marketing that you get a decent amount of traffic to your site, but it doesn’t convert into sales or even a list. There could be a number of reasons for this problem, some of which I’ll explain. Here are some of the top reasons that affiliate traffic doesn’t convert.
Your Affiliate Link Isn’t in Your Niche
A common mistake among affiliates is that their affiliate link isn’t in their niche. Sometimes people think that the more links they have, the merrier. While it sometimes works out that way, but only in moderation, you can often put up an irrelevant or even antagonistic link.
Let’s say, for instance, that your website is geared toward Christian products. You have a link for the Bible, another for crucifix pendants, a different one for statues of Buddha, and then you have a link for satanic metal t-shirts.

As you promote your project through your websites, blogs, or other promotional activities, people will want to get more information about all the people promoting the products.

1. Increase traffic by offering more backlinks. A backlink is basically an incoming link from another Web page. It acts as a connector between two different sites. The more backlinks you have, the more traffic you will attract.
Be sure that your website looks professional and is free of errors. Many Internet marketers like to exchange links with each other to create a win-win situation for all. In order to increase the number of backlinks, you’ll want to maintain a professional appearance.
2. Increase traffic by providing free, original content. Google doesn’t like it when you copy and paste material from another site onto your page. In fact, that’s one way to find your site Read More→
Why You May Not Be Getting Traffic to Your Website with AdWords
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s nothing more exciting than building a website and waiting for the pitter-pat of footsteps from Web visitors. One of the harsh realities of website analytics is that you may think you’ve set all the controls in place for getting traffic to your website and still not get more than a few views.
One way that affiliate marketers use to attract visitors is to use Google AdWords. It’s an easy way to get impressions in Google, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to get a load of traffic from AdWords.
What you DON’T want to do is quickly set up your AdWords account and hope for the best, nor do you want to attract tire kickers. You need to attract targeted visitors who will become buyers.
