Recipe for a Successful Affiliate SEO Strategy in 2012

[Linda Buquet]

I haven't quoted her for a long time, but one of my favorite authorities in the affiliate marketing space is Rae Hoffman-Dolan. So I was thrilled to discover a new article she penned today that has some very solid advice. Love the way Rae writes and she know how to drive a point home! Hope you find this helpful.

Nowadays, ranking is much harder, especially for an affiliate-oriented website. I’d imagine that if you could go back in time and explain to a 1998 affiliate marketer what goes into ranking in the 2011 SERPS, it would be the same kind of culture shock as showing Henry Ford a busy metropolitan freeway at rush hour.

Affiliate marketing has evolved. This evolution is not so much technology-based, nor is it really “fundamentals” based. It’s strategy based.

So how do you create an evolved affiliate strategy? The specifics will change from site to site, but some of the standards remain the same regardless of the topic or niche.

Thing is you could spend a lifetime chasing Google trying to figure out what it wants and then BLAM along comes another Panda and all your work goes up in flames. Been there, done that. So my new SEO strategy is to simply not care about Google anymore and to work on getting traffic from offline advertising.

Well, 2012 will be no doubt about it a very changing year for the SEO Based affiliate marketing projects. Rel=author, social signals and etcetera are very hard to have as a content writer.

As I stated in an another topic, my plan it's to increase the reputation of my site. It's to only healthy way, you can not depend anymore on google and it's a must to have some refferals to..a very good content. Content it's king, but I think we all know that.
