The All-inclusive Guide to Affiliate Marketing

Is website page count important?

Absolutely. An affiliate website should be at least 30 pages. Google appears to favour those over 250 pages. Every page needs to have unique content, including within page titles and meta tags.

Keywords should vary and every page should have its own keywords for which the page has been optimized. (How to do this is explained in our ebook, Successful Affiliates Guide).

'Padding' pages and large-scale repitition must be avoided. If you don't think it's genuinely useful or valid content, you need to work harder until it is.

Obviously, when you first upload your site, it does not need to have all the page that you will later add. You can, and should, continually develop the site to render it attractive to human and search engine (robot) visitors. It's all about content, because the internet's primary function is to provide information.

The latter point is important for affiliates. Your website's primary role is to provide useful information, your selling agenda is secondary to this from the visitor's perspective. Web design has to be driven by that visitor's perspective. Trying to 'heavy sell' just turns off visitors and reduces the likelihood of a completed sale.

Consider when you have looked at, for example, the website of any large electrical warehouse. You navigated for information about specific brands or products - the actual buying stage was late in the process. Successful affiliates are good at applying this model to website content.
