To become successful as an Affiliate Marketer you need to have the right tools and resources in place. An affiliate with the goal to generate a substantial income needs to put a lot of time and effort into planning and implementing the proper business decisions to succeed.

No matter what your affiliate goals, there are a few very necessary tools needed to grow and expand your online business. Leading affiliates agree that the common necessities are as follows:

• Your Own Web Site

Having your own website is essential to becoming a successful affiliate marketer. Don’t believe the hype that you can earn a substantial living without your own site. You need a web site that you control as the foundation for all your Internet marketing efforts.

A wise affiliate builds a site that is user-friendly and credible so visitors want to return again and again. It needs to be built around the needs of your visitors.

You need to recognize that the majority of people surfing the web are not looking to buy. In general, individuals are looking for information. You can capitalize on this by creating a site full of interesting content relevant to the topic they are researching, often in the form of pre-purchase information.

Page rank is an indicator of the popularity of your web site in search engines. PR depends on quality of inbound and outbound links, although Google has other parameters to determine the PR of the web page such as contents, web structure, longevity of the site, keywords, page views, etc. Importantly, high quality site receives higher PR. Google in its own is helpless and is not biased. Exogenous factors influence Google to display quality search.

Page views measure the number of pages viewed by Google users. The page views per user numbers are the average numbers of unique pages viewed per user per day by the users visiting the site. The three-month changes are determined by comparing a site’s current page view numbers with those from three month ago. Page views solely depend on keywords -what information a searcher is looking for. So using competitive keywords in highly informative and fresh contents that appeal users to come to your site time and again increases the page views and therefore increases the PR. In short, page view is one of the components of PR. If the page view is low, PR will be low. If we measure the Pearson’s correlation between PR and page views, it comes to be ONE. A perfect equation between two variables determines your overall position of the website in search engines like Google.

As said, PR mainly depends on the quality of inbound and outbound links. Google treats theses links as ‘votes’ cast by voters (users/webmasters). The technique of casting votes by them may be technically called as ‘page views’.
