There are 6 rules you must use when building any affiliate website if you want the website to make you any money.

Building Your Site Rule #1

Common Mistakes Made By Unsuccessful Affiliates

A vast majority of successful online entrepreneurs are affiliates of successful .....

Always have a strong headline.

No matter how great your sales copy is or how great your content and information is' no one will stick around long enough to read it unless you grab them with your headline.

Make sure you have a compelling enough headline to make the person want to stay and read your information.

Building Your Site Rule #2
Make your home page a strong sales letter that combines elements of an article and an endorsement.

The best way to have a sales letter that is not hyped up and can still do a good 'pre-sell' is to have a form of a product 'review' or 'endorsement.' What most people are interested in is reading the pros and cons about a product. Spend some time and dedicate the home page to a good product, write a good 'endorsement' article.

Remember, your job is to PRE-SELL, not sell. You're not trying to corner your potential customer, you're just trying to gain their trust. The best way to gain their trust is to offer them a bunch of useful advice and helpful content. That means you'll need LINKS to all that good stuff on your site.

Now remember, the other articles on your site should also be 'pre-selling' your readers ' so one way or the other, you will be able to gain their trust and get the sale.

Building Your Site Rule #4
Offer lots and lots of articles ' all with easy navigation.

As PPC gets more and more expensive, it's getting harder and harder to get qualified leads from search engine advertising. It's also getting tougher and tougher to find easy shortcuts to a #1 placement. A cheaper and more effective strategy is to patiently work WITH the search engines rather than trying to trick them or buy into them.

How do you work WITH the search engines' You offer content: articles, reviews, specs. If you can provide the search engines with what their users want, then the search engines will gladly send you free traffic.
