Keyword research is one of the most overlooked aspects of building niche websites, perhaps because most people have no idea how to research keywords or how to use the results of their research.
Building web pages optimized for only one keyword or phrase is past history. The search engines have evolved past that point and now rank pages based on the relationship between the phrases used on a page. They also analyze the relationship between these phrases and those used throughout your entire website. They go a step further and analyze the relationship between the phrases used on your site and those used on the web pages you link to and those which link to you.

The days of creating webpages optimized for one particular keyword phrase are pretty much over. As the internet has evolved search engine users have become savvier; they have learned to use longer search phrases to find the information they are looking for. This is in part due to millions of webmasters who have pretty much saturated the internet with junk pages optimized for short keyword phrases.

Today I sent an email to my list and it contained an affiliate link to a report by Joel Comm called The Adsense Traffic Guide. I took the link straight from the email Joel sent and never bothered to check it.
Big mistake!
The affiliate link contained the wrong domain and my subscribers ended up on the wrong webpage…
Always check your affiliate links before you publish them in an email or webpage.
Sending people to the wrong site hurts your credibility and not only will you lose the immediate sale, but quite probably subsequent sales. People can be very unforgiving when they put their trust in you and you screw up.
On the other side of the coin, if you rely on affiliates to promote your products, make sure the affiliate link you send to them to promote your product is correct. Once your affiliates lose credibility through your error, you stand to lose affiliates and a lot of sales!
One further point, once you realize you’ve made an error, correct it immediately. The longer you leave it the more you stand to lose.
