Content is king

Original and interesting content not only plays a very important role in SEO . If you offer content to users, they will have reason to return to your site and then refer to them.

PPC is an English pay-per-click abbreviation and means pay-per-click . You pay only if the user clicks on your PPC ad on search engines, on Facebook or anywhere else on the web. In other words, Advertiser only applies to visitors to your site and not to your ads. This is one of the most effective forms of advertising at all.

Do not forget social media

The world of marketing has changed dramatically in recent years. A very important role today is played by Social Networks .

Is SEO and affiliate marketing together?

YES, below, let's explain why and how to put SEO practices into practice to make your affiliate website more visible in search results. Because better search positions = more visitors to your site = higher profits.

Turn on SEO

We hear very often the sentence "Can you turn me on SEO?", but that does not work that way. SEO can not be turned on or off. So let's say what SEO is and how you can work yourself on your site to increase your position within natural search.

What is hidden under the abbreviation of SEO?

SEO or Search Engine Optimization focuses on > Increase site visibility in organic search . Part of SEO includes both technical features and the visual side of the site. There are many ways to optimize the web. The most important of these still include relevant content and link building, both internal and external.

SEO and your website

You may be asking if your site needs SEO. The truth is that most web traffic is driven by major search engines such as Google , Yahoo, Bing, or in the Czech Republic List. Social networking also generates much of the web traffic. The main role in user navigation is still playing Search Engines .

Basic SEO steps

As we have already mentioned, keyword analysis (KW) is important. For SEO, you need to know the keywords and phrases your potential customers are looking for, and then apply these words in a non-violent way to your project content . KW analysis is recommended even if your site is already running. It may give you impuls, for example, to create interesting content, new category or new KW for PPC campaigns.

Watch for subtitles and meta descriptions

Each page, article, category, and individual product should have its original headline and meta description. These labels are great for search engines and robots.

Headline should briefly capture what the page on which it is located is. It must be unique, interesting and concise, because its goal is to bring the customer to the web. Its length should not exceed 55 characters.

Meta description is a more detailed description of the page, it should not exceed 160 characters. Again, it performs the same function as a caption, so it should be original and lured to clicks.)

Site Speed ​​

Also very important is Website Speed ​ . If the site is loading too long, users will leave it for competition and most likely will not return.

Getting external links for your site

We are not talking here about registering in a few corporate catalogs, we do not say it's wrong, it's not enough.

Try to get a variety of links for your project on a regular basis. It's still a very powerful impetus for search engines to push you forward in natural search.

Do not buy headless link piles , you would harm yourself. Get quality links from relevant sites. Do not make links to words like more here, information, etc., insert links under the right keywords (for example, you are selling front-loading washing machines, make a link under these key links, and make sure they go to the destination page, front filling and not top-loading washing machines).

One of the basic techniques is getting backlinks for your site in the form of publishing articles in thematic magazines. This form of promotion is not free. It has to be realized that it is also a matter of promotion, it is not just a thoughtless publication of articles. If you choose the right space, it will return to you several times. You get a backlink, which will boost your position in search results, and you'll also get a good-placed conversion article.

Let's give you some practical examples

Example # 1:

For one of our clients, we have written and published an article for 2000, -Kč, which was about the sale of skateboards.

The article was published on one of the smaller fashion blogs, but with great potential. Part of the article was photos from the client's hotel. There were also references to the sources of these photos that led back to the hotel sites.

At the end of the article, of course, it was mentioned where modern original skateboards are possible in the form of a link to a given category. Based on this article, 6 orders were made in this online store.

Example # 2:

For our next client, we have written and published an article for $ 1,100.

Again, this was a specifically focused article, this time it was furniture to the apartment. The decisive word was the focus of the site and its target group, the number of visitors and, of course, the form in which the article was written. Three conversions were made from this article.
