seo and affiliate marketing blog

If you haven’t already read steps 1 -4, you might want to do that first:
Step 1 - Picking a domain name
Step 2 - Research the niche
Step 3 - Building your site template
Step 4 - Building a Product Page

Front Page of You Website
Hopefully by now you have had time to build all your products pages. Now it is time to begin making your front end. For this you need to take out your template.

Head Tags
Change the H1 Tag at the top to the theme of your store (or affiliate website). Place a few product thumbs (be sure to use the alt image tag) and a small introduction of the product on the page. Make each of these have a H2 tag. Link in to your product page, you can also link directly to the affiliate website as well.

Link Tactics
I usually put the name with a direct link to the affiliate program on top, then describe the item and put a click here for more info on product name. That link, I send to my website product page.

This helps send some traffic directly to your sponsor. But also allows then to stay on your site (and search engines to find all your pages).

Link All Products
Once you have enough product images and text to make the page fill up, you can make a directory at the bottom of the website to each of the other products.

Meta Tags
Now finish off with adjusting your meta tags. Change the title, keywords and description. Use several of the products names, preferably the ones you did pictures of.

We will continue with internal linking and site maps in the next part of these tutorials.
