Search engines are important agents between the internet users and your website. Search engines will sort out the most relevant search result based on the keywords enter into the search box. They are the best source for long-term, free traffic for your affiliate sites. If you want your affiliate business to be successful, your website must able to be found by search engines on the relevant search’s keywords. Hence, you site must be built and be optimized for search engines with as many relevant keywords and contents as possible so that the search engines will find your pages for someone who are looking for products/services/information provided at your affiliate sites.

2. Use Too Many Banners

One of the common mistakes make by affiliates is they use too many banners in their affiliate sites. Although Banners with graphics and animation will make your site look attractive, banner marketing will not work for all market niches. You must study the effectiveness of using banners in the market niche you are interested in promoting with affiliate products. Niche markets such as casino gambling, games and entertainment may work fine with banners but finance, stock and home business may not attract internet users to click on the banners. Don’t fill your site with banners; instead you should put in the efforts by having more relevant contents, personal endorsements and short descriptions with related text links. The useful contents with recommendation for your affiliate products will drive more conversion from the traffic landed to your website to affiliate revenue.

3. Using Free Services

Affiliates who have their websites hosted at free hosting site with a free e-mail address will make their site looks not professional. Doing this is like sending the message to your website visitors that either you have not made any money or you really don’t what you are doing.

Only 2 percent of those who become Affiliates will make money with Internet Marketing, say Kyle and Carson the millionaire founders of Wealthy Affiliate University.They list the 5 reasons why the majority of people fail to make any money.

1 LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

2 LACK OF PLANNING

3 LACK OF SUPPORT

4 LACK OF APPLICATION

5 LACK OF ENCOURAGEMENT

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
The majority of people who want to get into Internet Marketing do not know how to go about it. They usually they fall for some “get rich over-night” scam that, when they have paid their money, turns out to be some useless e-book full of re-hashed ideas or some piece of complicated soft-ware with little or no instructions on how to make it work. The only person who will make money from this scam is the scammer!

At Wealthy Affiliate University the first lesson you learn is there is no such thing as a “get rich overnight” program.

LACK OF PLANNING
The next area where people fail is in planning. Most people don’t actually know how to plan. They don’t really know what they want. OK, so they want money, what for, how much, when by? How much work are they willing to put in and when? Planning takes thinking and time. Most people do not want to think. So what do they do? They fall for the “no work required” scams!

Wealthy Affiliate members can download an 8 week action plan. This is the exact same plan that Kyle and Carson used to become millionaires!

LACK OF SUPPORT
So you buy the “instant money making business in a box” and follow the “easy” instructions. Then you run into a problem. You mail/phone the so called “help” contact. What happens? Nothing, thats what happens! There is no help, there is no support, you are on your own! The scammers don’t care they have your money, thats it!

At Wealthy Affiliate University Kyle and Carson have a rule. That rule states that no member will ever be left alone to fend for themselves. You are guaranteed that if you need help in any area of Internet Marketing you will get it.

LACK OF APPLICATION
So maybe the e-book you bought, and there are plenty of good books around, has all the right ideas. Maybe the software isn’t a scam and has a proper backup service. You will still need to put in the time and effort to make the whole thing work and the majority are not prepared to do this.

Wealthy Affiliate University provide you with all the plans and all the tools you need to make money. But you have got to be prepared to put in the time and the energy. Maybe you only want to make an extra $100 per month, or maybe you want $100 per day or a $1,000 per week, whatever you want its up to you,

LACK OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Ok, so you make a commitment with your self, you will put in the time and energy. But as we all know nothing ever goes exactly to plan. Things go wrong ,or happen too slow, you get depressed. You feel like quiting.

Wealthy Affiliate University members understand that feeling. All you have to do is go to the University Forum tell other members how you are feeling and ask for help. You will find plenty that have felt just like you and who are ready, willing and able to help you.

So whatever you lack, Knowledge, Planning, Support, Encouragement you can get the help you need. But there is one area no one can help you with and that is Application. If you don’t put in the time and energy to do work you will fail to make any money just like the other 98 percent.
