If you want to make money with your blog, the easiest method you can try is affiliate marketing. First you need to find out which blog posts are the most popular, and getting the highest steady traffic. After identifying your most popular blog posts, you should look for relevant affiliate programs that you can place their banners or text links on these posts.
How To Identify Your Most Popular Blog Posts?
Easy, no problem, all you need is a WordPress plugin. I use Popularity Contest. You may also trace the popularity of your blog posts via Google Analytics. It provides much deeper keyword analysis. The more deeper, the better. This will help you when trying to find suitable affiliate programs.
How Can You Find Affiliate Programs?
There are two great sources where you can find the affiliate programs that are related to your most popular blog posts:
Try to be as specific as possible when looking for affiliate programs. The right affiliate program doesn’t have to be hundred percent related with the blog post, but do not put a diet program’s affiliate banner on a post about financial crisis. It won’t make any sense at all.
I personally use the post-plugin library popular posts plugin, and wordpress.com stats to track my most popular posts (simpler to analyze).
I’ve tried affiliate marketing and I think using popular posts is a great way to get started.
Interesting post! Internet marketing is growing slowly in the IT industry but there is a good scope in it. Good luck to this new field.
Do you know any website providing a list of most popular blog posts for blog commenting? By the way, this website is filled with valuable information for budding blogger. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Mike. Unfortunately I don\\'t have such a list. But you may check one of my old posts, just type \\"blog commenting strategy\\" in my blog\\'s search for you will get it. Then you may check Caroline Middlebrook\\'s blog, she posted about blog commenting long time ago. Good luck!
I like to take a break throughout the my day and browse by means of some blogs to view what other people are saying. This blog site appeared in my search and that i could not aid but clicking on it. I am glad I did mainly because it was a really enjoyable read.
This is often a really good website. I have been back several times over the past 7 days and wish to subscribe to your rss feed implementing Google but can not figure out how to do it accurately. Would you know of any sort of instructions?
Nice level of data the following. There is certainly so significantly data all around about this topic that sometimes you cannot see the wood for the trees but you have pitched this at just the appropriate level so that the lay person can realize – thank you!
