So I am adding affiliate links throughout my posts but how many are too many? If my posts are 1000-2000 words is there a number of affiliate links that search engines will frow
Do it proportionately. You would not like seeing links all over a blog if you were the visitor. Do what you would like to see if you were to visit a page. It appears salesy when there are too many links and nobody likes the salesman :). Relevance should be the key.

I agree with @giftyafd. Make it not look like too salesy. What I usually do is per section or heading (but obviously not on all section) of my article I try to use 2 or upto 3 but no more.

So I'm in the certification process and up to course 3, lesson 4. In it, Kyle talks about adding the affiliate links throughout the content. But his content is a review, so it
Hi Dave,
You are correct that search engines don't like all or most of our posts littered with affiliate links. One suggested way is to link to your WA review in your other posts so you only have one post/page that has the WA affiliate links and your blog posts will just link/reference to it where necessary and relevant. This is also known as internal linking.
Hope that answers your question.
Cheers!
Thank you for helping me.
So my site isn't on the topic of WA or anything related. On this site I not going to showcase WA, at least for now. the affiliate links will be from ClickBank, Amazon, and so on.
Let me try to figure what you're saying. Your saying take the "Reference" page and in my posts link to that page for people to see my affiliate links? Won't that be overloading the page and search engines will see my site as not a respectable site?
Thanks,
Dave
What I would suggest is write a separate post and likely it will be a review of the product/service that you have affiliate links for and put your affiliate links in there.
Then as for your other post that you don't want to litter with affiliate links but are relevant to your affiliated product, reference to that review that you did for let's say an alternative or supplement to what you're blogging about.
Don't put different and especially unrelated affiliate links all on one page. Write a review for each one separately. Then whenever you write a post that's somewhat related or relevant to that affiliate product then just reference and link to your reviews.

I am doing a search and looking for that low hanging fruit. The results that I'm getting are saying that the Searches are less than 10 and the competition is 54. Is that a good
Hey,
The Rules of a Quality Keyword
Rule #1: More than 30 monthly searches. You want your far left "Avg" column to ideally be greater than 30. Sometimes it is OK to go with a search volume less than this, but over 30 searches per month is ideal.
Rule #2: Less than 100 QSR (Competition). You want to keep your competition below 100 pages in Google, the lower the better though obviously. You will likely come across many terms with less than 100 QSR when doing your research, and that is even better!
As you progress with your website, under 200 is perfectly fine as you will be gaining more authority and better ranks in search engines.
Rule #3: Keyword must make sense. This is critically important. If the keyword doesn't make grammatical sense, don't use it. Do another search on the keyword that makes sense as that will likely give you different data and that is the data you want to measure.

Wow, thank you so much for this. I have been reading that but you spelled it out very well for me.
As far as competition goes you also need to do a first and second page competitor look to see who is sitting there. So put into google your term with quotes to see the competition.
If the websites in those first two pages are all great blogs then forgot it move on to another KW. (you can use tools to see authority semrush gives 5 free searches a day. )
I have gone after KW's that had approximately less than 50 competitors but didn't make it near page one as they were all good domains. That doesn't mean as time progresses and your domain gains authority you can't go back and re-try those.
A bit more research on a KW will mean that you are not wasting time going after ones you cannot get.

Hello!
You have to log in your wordpress site and then customize. You can sign in from site rubix.
you can download a few hemes and then do live preview that way you can see if it is what you are looking for.
I hope i'm making sense :O
Thank you for your reply and help. I understand how to do that but since the site builder only has a certain amount of WP themes, I wasn't sure if I went the route you mentioned that it will be fully supported. Or even if WA has another way to change themes. Do you know?
