One of the most common terms you’ll hear and read when building a website or engaging in affiliate marketing is SEO.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is a fancy term for making sure people can find your website. As most online experiences begin with a search engine, it is absolutely crucial to make sure that your site is on top of those search engine results pages. This is where a good, solid SEO strategy comes in.
This led me to wonder if there was an “SEO niche,” and if so, whether it would be profitable to promote SEO affiliate programs.
S-E-Ohhhhhhh
The amount the SEO industry earns each year will have you going “Ooooh” and “Ahhh”
The SEO industry was valued at more than US$16 billion in 2010. That’s not surprising, as more and more online businesses realize the huge impact SEO has on sales.
Search Engine Land reported in 2016 that the SEO industry is worth US$65B, and is expected to keep, if not exceed, its current size. They cited a MediaPost article claiming that companies are expected to spend approximately such an amount for 2016. They did forecast a drop in SEO expenditure in this year and the next, but SEO will still remain a multibillion-dollar industry.
You can have a website that is focused solely on SEO, like KaisertheSage.com, or you can put up something like SmartBlogger.com. It’s a website for bloggers, and they cover all aspects of blogging, including SEO. My knowledge of SEO is embarrassingly limited compared to KaisertheSage, and so I’d probably build a website in a niche I am interested in or good at and promote SEO affiliate programs on the side.
Promoting an SEO affiliate program on a website in an unrelated niche goes against what I have always preached on every Niche of the Week post: promote related products or products that are in the same niche. However, you don’t have to promote these SEO affiliate offers over your list of affiliate products for your chosen niche. You’d be promoting them in addition to the others.
At the least, you can have a post detailing how you built the website and include your resources with links (affiliate links!) to where your readers can get the same. Or, a small banner on the sidebar that says “Want to drive traffic to your own blog?”
