What Are The Advantages of Affiliate Marketing?

As I eluded to in one of my previous posts, there are two huge advantages to monetizing your website or blog with affiliate marketing.  I just wanted to write a quick post today highlighting those two advantages.   Tomorrow we’ll dive into some strategies to get started with affiliate marketing.

The first major advantage of affiliate marketing is that unlike Google AdSense or other advertising programs which can bother both readers and search engine traffic, affiliate links can be strategically placed within posts, below posts, in your sidebar, or you can even create featured landing pages for each product without it bothering your regular readers.  The best part about it is that they blend into your website or blog, making them look natural.   This makes for a better looking website for your readers and search engine traffic, and also clears the way for promoting your affiliate products.

The second major advantage for affiliate marketing is the huge amount of income each sale can produce, requiring a lot fewer conversions to make the same amount of cash as a large number of ad clicks would with Google AdSense or another similar program.  A single sale could generate $100.00 or more if you are properly promoting your products, instead of getting 39 clicks for $1.72 with AdSense.
