\"SEO<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, we were discussing with a client about our affiliate solutions, and we ended up talking about SEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client had a few queries regarding it, and we helped solve them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The query was so simple, but since the client couldn\u2019t get it, we asked him to share the SEO checklist he was following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we looked at it, the entire checklist was just a random list of points, it didn\u2019t make much sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he said he found the same checklist everywhere on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No wonder why all of them had the same checklist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every affiliate follows the same SEO checklist for affiliate marketing websites but some of them fail, and some of them happen to do wonders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is the difference between each of them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we noticed is that, even after using the same checklist, the affiliates who used a specific sequence won the SEO game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after researching multiple articles, we didn\u2019t find one. Every affiliate marketing SEO checklist had To-do’s, but not in a step-by-step format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we decided to create our own checklist, which includes step-by-step implementation of SEO checklist for the affiliate marketing websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start discussing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEO Checklist for Affiliate Marketing Websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Competitor Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Study the type of deals, guides, and promotions they offer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analyzing the types of deals, guides, and promotions your competitors offer will give you insights into what resonates with your shared audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should pay attention to how they structure their affiliate deals, like exclusive discounts, bundled offers, or limited-time promotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also notice that affiliate portals often post content on product comparisons, how-to articles, or brand-specific reviews. You can create similar kinds of content to attract users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analyze how they are leveraging seasonal events and high-traffic periods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it’s a festive season, people often spend more money. So, you should analyze how competitors use this high-traffic period to boost engagement and get more sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will give you an idea such as when they launch specific campaigns or introduce time-sensitive offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By analyzing this, you can plan your own seasonal campaigns more effectively during festivals like Black Friday, Christmas, Diwali, or back-to-school. It will give you more visibility as well as more conversions during the festive season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, check this festival offer<\/a> page from GrabOn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you can see above they have listed all the festivals, and there is a dedicated page for each festival. So, they don\u2019t have to create a new page every time during a new festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify underserved keywords related to affiliate marketing, deals, and cashback.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have just started your affiliate website, it might be hard for you to give competition to established players. So, you can look for specific terms related to deals, cashback offers, and affiliate programs that competitors might be overlooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These can include niche markets, emerging brands, or less common search phrases that still carry significant intent. For example, if you have a coupon website, instead of targeting the keyword \u201cdiscounts on electronics,\u201d you can target \u201cexclusive discount on electronics.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are less competitive but highly relevant for specific audiences. This will increase your chances of ranking higher in search engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analyze their backlinks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people do this after generating content. But it is important to do it in the beginning and analyze which content your competitors are getting backlinks from. You can use tools like Ahrefs <\/a>and SEMrush <\/a>to see competitor’s backlinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps you get backlinks organically without putting much effort into it. And getting high-quality backlinks improves your SEO efforts as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, you can get backlinks if you are generating high-quality content. If you find that there are certain things missing in the competitor’s content or they have missed a topic, you can go deeper into it and provide insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, if you reach out to websites, you will definitely get more backlinks for high quality content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
