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.
