Hi everybody.
I currently use SEO to get all of my traffic, and at the moment, it is going well. But I have seen many of my competitors drop out of the SERPS through the latest Google update.
I am not arrogant enough to think that my rankings are immune from these updates. Depending on Google, or any search engine for that matter, is making me really paranoid.
What else should I consider to get traffic? Sure, everybody says to write great content, and I do. But I don't think this will ensure me a steady flow of traffic.
Do any of you use PPC for your promotions? I've read that a lot of super affiliates do. But in my niche (health), there aren't many products that I think I could make a profit off of through PPC.
The only one that offers high commissions is Market Health. But they offer products that are kind of sketchy...colon cleansing...weight loss..."enlargement."
And in Adwords, the price for these health related terms are high. And the suppliers pay well. I think part of the reason for this is that they know that they will get repeat business from their orders. They can send out promotions to the email addresses they collect. As an affiliate, we don't have that option. We get one commission for one sale, unless a recurring commission is involved.
Should I consider drop shipping?
If anybody could offer up some tips on how to approach these things, I would really appreciate it.
As it stands right now, I could lose everything by someone at Google just clicking a mouse.
