3 Tips for Affiliate ArbitrageTyler Banfield, 05-23-2007 |
After yesterday's post on AdSense arbitrage, I thought this would be an appropriate follow-up:
Although it has been around for quite awhile, affiliate arbitrage has been a popular topic to discuss recently. One of the main reasons for this is popular bloggers such as Tyler Cruz disclosing the results of their own ventures into affiliate arbitrage. If the recent discussions have inspired you to try out affiliate arbitrage for yourself, here are three tips for avoiding common mistakes that most beginners make:
Automatically Choosing the Highest Paying Niches: Although this may initially seem like the best route to take, it is normally not. Popular niches are almost always over saturated and dominated by experienced players in the affiliate arbitrage game. When you are starting out, you will have a much better learning experience if you choose a lower paying niche that is also low on competition.
Focusing More on Volume than Conversions: You may think that sending 1,000 visitors to your landing page everyday is great, but if you are sending traffic that doesn’t convert, then your bank account is going to be depleted pretty quickly. Instead of obsessing over volume, you need to focus your energy on finding keywords that send visitors which convert into sales.
The Cost of Keywords: If you are bidding on keywords that cost two dollars a click, it is not going to take long before you start wishing that you weren’t. When you are getting started in affiliate arbitrage, it takes some time to learn how to write ads and create landing pages that result in a high percentage of conversions. Therefore, you need to bid on lower cost keywords so that you can learn the ropes of affiliate arbitrage without burning a huge hole in your pocket.
