Hey,

So as you can probly guess from the title im not sure how affliate marketing works. How does buying keywords gain you money? Don't you need a physic product to sell? Does it not have to be your own product?

I currently am setting up a web design/coding service to make some money, but how can affliate marketing help me related to this or not related to this idea?

Thanks, Adam

I suggest you find a good ebook and read it, if possible read some affiliate blogs and be a regular member on affiliate forums...

creating your own product is not a bad idea. infact most clickbank promoter also owns the product itself.

Affiliate marketing is where you promote someone else's product and earn a commission. It could be an electronic product (e-book, music) or physical goods. Depends on what you're promoting.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'buying keywords' but having a site optimized for keywords related to the affiliate product you are trying to promote would probably help.

Not really buying keywords but bidding on keywords.

Affiliate Marketing is selling other peoples product or services and getting a commission when someone buys under you.

You buy keywords when you opt for paid search traffic. Lets say you're promoting a golf tutorial. What you'd do then is go to PPC sites like adwords or adbrite and bid on keywords related on the product youre promoting. Then for every search on that keyword or even content related to that keyword, youre ad will show.

Hope it helps

The problem with bidding on keywords is you're often competing against hundreds of other affiliates - if not the owner of the product themselves.

However if you can find an undiscovered niche, there are definitely potential profits. The keyword is 'potential'.
