Tips for Building a Successful and High Ranking Affiliate Blog

Millions of blogs are going live everything month and they are all being created for different reasons. A decent amount of these blogs are created with the hopes and dreams of being able to make some money for the site owner and in some cases maybe even turn into a real business and provide residual income.
Unfortunately the success rate in the world of online marketing and blogging is very low. For every success story you hear, there are thousands of failures you never hear about.
At the end of the day it all comes down to your message, site content, monetization plan and link building strategies. That’s really it! Just 4 simple steps to possibly finding success.
Today we are going to take a look at brownboxformulas.com and see how they have built their site for success and ranking extremely well in the process. The important thing to note is that these same principles can be applied to any business model.

The Message

The message for any web site must be plain and clear. If you can’t tell why you are at a web site and what you plan to do there in the first few seconds, then your site is already destined for fail. A great principle to follow is “what you see is what you get”… as in make it SIMPLE!
Clearly BrownBoxFormulas.com is a blog based around the concept of making money online and discovering information about how to sell products online. This can clearly be seen within the first few seconds when arriving on the blog.

Site Content

The site content should always be specific and niche tight. The last thing you want to do is start a blog on one topic and then have articles that are all over the place. Everything on BBF is focused on starting a business online and offers training videos, tutorials and much more… all of which result in the final monetization goal for the site. You will also notice that the site has done an excellent job on using the “brown box formula” throughout the content and headings on the site. Knowing when to use your target keyword and not stuffing target words within your content is key.

Monetization Plan

You can have a site with a lot of traffic, but if there is no monetization in place… what’s the purpose. The monetization for BBF is clear… they want to interact with people who are looking to start a business online and want to find the necessary training. The content on the site is original and then pushes the user off to the main course where they can sign up to become a member of the site, resulting in further business and revenue for BBF.

Link Building Strategies

Lastly, to have a successful web site or blog you are going to need to find a way for people to get to your site. This can be done through search marketing, organic listings, social networking or even running your own contest promotions. There are lots of creative ways to get traffic back to your site, but at the end of the day you are going to want to make sure you are following all of Google’s guidelines and also advertising to the right audience. Focus on higher quality links than higher volume.
Now it’s time for you to implement these same strategies into your business. Find a profitable niche or product that you can build a site around and break down each of these four points to build a successful site of your own.
