Actually Abdulrehman,
I went away and thought about this last night, and have formed another opinion….
It depends on what you want your site to achieve, if you’re purely after affiliate sales from search engine optimised pages, then your content really doesn’t matter.
I think it’s a horses for courses thing. I’d be interested in your opinions on whether proper community sites which occasionally promote affiliate products would be a better dollar / time investment than just simple thin affiliate sites?

- Hi, Abdulrehman,
You’re absolutely right, quality content will win out every time.
You’re not likely to go back to that site, which means that that person has lost a potential customer.
I don’t agree wit you completely though with your outline above. I think you can still work affiliate links into your posts, as long as the POST HAS VALUE ITSELF. (ie it would still be a good post without the affiliate link)

- What to do when you have Empty Ad Slots
Do you think that too many ad slots looks tacky?
Also, do you think they decrease the value of the ads themselves, being tucked away in a pile of other similar looking ads.
Wouldn’t there be better value in selling 4 slots at $50 each than 10 slots at $10 each?
- Has Live Search Lost It’s Market Share?
Live Search is becoming a haven for spammers, it apparently places FAR too much emphasis on on page SEO factors, which means when you’ve worked out what it likes, you can feed in thousands of pages which are virtually guaranteed to rank well.
Even for the small amount of users it has, if you can get enough pages indexed and ranking, you can still get some traffic!

I’ll admit it’s easy for new bloggers, who find they can get “paid” for blogging, to get sucked into crap posting for a couple bucks. I think, though, if they actually work on their blogging and use social networks to promote it, they quickly see everyone posting about the quality of content issues and try to improve their quality to stay in the game long term. It’s a learning curve in my opinion.
You’re right, of course. But since it is possible to make some money doing this, I don’t expect it to stop. The steps you outline, though, will lead to bigger and longer lasting profits.
Gaining readers most difficult and important if want to earn handsome money sure, we care of your points all are unique point you noted here.
Well, I completely agree, everyone online is just trying to earn and that is what has turned this internet world into such a big SCAM world. You don’t even know when and where you’ll be scammed, though its said that things that are too good to be true are often are.
Again, it’s all a delicate balance. You want to make money on the web, but forcing products down a reader’s throat is not the best way to do it. Some people get overly agressive trying to sell affiliate products and it’s not worth reading. They won’t build a user base and so, they won’t make the money they’re trying to make.
It’s all about finding the balance between making sales and building a readership
May be Gaining readers is the most difficult and important thing in blogging..
good stuffs
It is always the quality content that matters the most.
Very good advice. Although I do agree with some of the commenters regarding it partially depends on what your goal is to achieve.
Comment from dummy for step 4 above. Write a review of affiliate product mean “paid to review” program, if i am not mistake, so it will decrease our google pagerank because uncle google didn’t “like” it. Correct me if i misunderstood.
