A Sneaky Way to Earn Affiliate Commission without Owning a Website

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

The first thing you need is some weight on an automated link building tool such as the Digital Point Co-op Advertising Network or Link Vault. You can purchase the weight from other users through the respected website forums.

Then you need to be signed up to an affiliate program that creates a landing page on the merchants site with your own affiliate id in the URL (rather than going through a network redirect link), for example Amazon or Mobiles4Everyone.

Then you look at which are the latest products and find the landing page with your affiliate id, for example:
Cheap Nokia N81 on Mobiles4Everyone with my affiliate id
The reason I suggest the latest products is because you will have more chance of ranking for these rather than something that has been around for a long time and has lots of competing webpages.

Then you point your automated weight (Link Vault, Digi Point) at the chosen link targeting the search terms that are relative to that page, eg. if you look at the page <title> tag you on the above example you will notice that it is “Cheap Nokia N81 8GB deals” so I would target “Cheap Nokia N81 8GB”, “Nokia N81 8GB deals” and “Cheap Nokia N81”. It is important that you target search phrases that are within the titles or page otherwise Google will filter out the pages thinking that you are just Google Bombing

Then just give it a month or so and keep a check on the targeted search terms. The advantage of pointing direct to the merchant’s domain is that you will benefit from their website age and authority within the search engines, so you will have more chance of the webpage ranking through this method than you would if you were using a new website. And what you will find is that Google will see your page as the original due to the incoming links and will prevent the websites own page without your affiliate id from ranking.
