Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Mat.

Thanks for your input and suggestions on this. Some very useful points, especially about adding an extra paragraph in at the end. I will try this.

It's a very new website, so just trying to build on the traffic and get established in the niche right now.

All the best

I have just started up a new mens magazine website featuring articles, videos, sports news and photos to help drive traffic to the website. I write all the articles myself and do the social media updates in my spare time.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the best way to start doing affiliate marketing for a new website? I was inspired to do this by successful internet marketers who make a passive income off their websites. So far I have added Amazon and William Hill as affiliate links as I think my target market will be looking for these types of product links.

Also, for anyone who has experience in this, how long it taken for your blog to become successful and make money?

Many thanks,

Alex

Thanks for your responses. Some useful suggestions. I'm not sure if I have the resources to hire a virtual assistent just yet, but will keep it in mind.

In terms of link bait, what has worked well for you?

I am doing SEO for a security keyholding company and would like to build up some quality links from related and high PR sites. Submitting profiles to directories is incredibly time consuming.

I am thinking of outsourcing a link building campaign to a link building company, but know Google advises against this.

Does anyone recommend a cost effective and ethical link building service out there?

Or are there any link building techniques to use that will help me out?

What I want to be sure of is that a link building campaign won’t get my websites penalised in search engines and the links are from quality and related websites.

Many thanks in advance
