Affiliate Marketing process/strategy

[TraffDistr]

Hey guys, I am new in AM business and would like to understand the process behind starting new vertical.

For example does the process looks like this -> I am starting a blog lets say in health & wellbeing and I am writing articles and try to get as much traffic as i can and then I test different nutra verticals? or is there a faster way to do so? I find out the blog creation is quite time consuming in my case but I guess its skill issue with Wordpres, since I have not worked with WP before.

TLDR: What is the fastest iteration loop when starting with new aff verticals with SEO than building blog + adding tens of blog posts there

Thanks!

That is the conventional route. But nie biggest challenge is ranking on google and maintaining that rank.

probably some black hat stuff that ranks you within 1 week and gets you 30 million visitors before google takes your site down. Cases like this pop up a lot on the forum (I've actually saw one last week), so it's possible to abuse the loophole(s) that these people abuse, but I don't know how they do it because it involves BH and I don't know how BH works. All I know is that is possible

But if I were to guess I'd say that they're probably using aged domain that's still trusted by google (ie. google haven't added it to their penalized / blacklisted list yet) and spamming it with tons of links and doorway pages. I think that's how they do it, and this is definitely faster than traditional blogs. But when google catches you (which can be between days to months, depending on your luck) that domain is gone for good and will never rank again

Got it, so in white hat SEO I can just build blog in nutra niche, write about topics related to nutra and pick some offers and test which one people are interested in?

I don't know what "nutra" is, but yes, that's how it works

Although, if you wish to know which offer works best you'd probably want to run a PPC campaign instead of waiting to rank a website for god-knows-how many months. It's much quicker with PPC....

Nutra is health & wellness niche if I understood correctly ( i am in aff marketing for about one month) so feel free to correct me

Yeah I will definitely do also PPC, thanks

oh yeah, I remember now...

Be careful with health-related niches, though as they require a lot of EEAT and authority. You might not even be able to rank within your 1st year even if you do things correctly. Not saying that it will 100% happen to you, I'm just saying that it's a tough nut to crack

to be honest, I think you're better off putting your money into PPC than SEO for this niche. Although, I'm not sure that google allows this niche to be advertised with PPC, but try and see

I will check their rules on this to make sure I am aligned with them
I was also thinking maybe just be active in reddit/fb groups in weigh loss related niche

social media and specialty forums can be great sources of (fast) traffic, smart thinking

Try micro-niche sites targeting specific products - easier to rank, less content needed.
