Regardless of the primary method you use to drive traffic to your affiliate site, you still need to pay attention to basic SEO in order to get all the free traffic you can from the search engines.
There's a new tool called <strong><a href="http://www.woorank.com/">WooRank</a></strong> that can help you analyze numerous aspects of your site performance, compliance, off page and on page SEO. I just tried it for 5 Star and it's really quite comprehensive. See the screen shot below PLUS at the bottom of this post are other comparable tools you can add to your SEO arsenal.
<strong>NOTE to Affiliate Managers</strong> - This would also be a great tool for doing a quick check of affiliate sites as it shows Whois, Alexa, backlinks and other helpful data all on one page.
5 Star scored 69 out of an average rank of 49. So the site is better than average, but I was able to see at a glance the areas I still need to work on.
