Keyword Research - A Quick and Easy Way For Affiliates to Find High Converting Keywords!

By Franck Silvestre

Do you want to know what every single affiliate marketing newbie have in common?

In other words, what prevent them to earn?

I coach many affiliate marketing beginners, and all of them have the same problem. And what is really amazing is that there is no exception to this. They are all facing the same challenges and frustrations. They are stuck at the first step: keyword research.

I understand that it can be difficult because I went through this painful step myself when I was starting out: how to find the right keywords for my website. I decided to write a quick and easy keyword research tutorial for affiliates in five easy steps.

Step 1. Extract keywords from the merchant website

In the Google External tool, you will paste your affiliate site URL in the box. It's important that you check the website button. You are not going to add a keyword to get other related keywords.

Step 2: Spot the profitable keywords

Then, you will choose to "show" the average cost per click.

Step 3. Choose the most profitable keywords

You then copy and paste the keywords with the higher cost per click.

Why?

Because if advertiser pay a lot of money, that means that these keywords are profitable.

Note: make sure that those keywords are relevant for your website. Do not just choose them because advertisers pay a lot of money. Remember that visitors should like your website and come back for you to make a lot of commissions.

Step 4. Compare with the free wordtracker tool

Compare with the volume of search within the wordtracker free tool. What you want to do is to confirm that the high cost per click keywords are searched for on the Internet.

Step 5. Time to choose your keywords

Important Note. This is not an exact science, and you need to use your own instinct for this.

Example: If I was building a site on weight loss, I would choose keywords like:

a. How to lose weight fast

b. Lose weight programs

c. Low fat foods

That's it, you have a quick keyword blueprint for promoting your affiliate websites.
