Good day/evening,

For an affiliate site, would it be beneficial to add a forum?

From observation, I've studied a few affiliate websites, and majority of them do

Some have tried that in the past. Forums can be a lot of work to police. There are lots of trolls out there that have nothing better to do than flame others in the group.
Most people I know are just creating Facebook Fan pages or Facebook groups and using this venue for interactions.

A forum requires a lot of backwork to create engagement, avoid spam, and keep communication exciting. It also takes a considerable amount of traffic to get people who would be interested in participating, so it's like building a website of its own in terms of the amount of effort you have to spend. I'm not sure where you are in your journey, but I wouldn't recommend a forum as a startup.

Once you have a steady flow of traffic, your social channels are built up, and you're looking for ways to get more engagement that you own, then maybe consider a forum. Since it's quite a bit of backwork, you may want to plan for a membership site with a forum so you can get paid for the effort.

I'm not sure affiliate marketing is the best model to monetize a forum. Look at WA for an example--this started as a forum.

Is adding a forum wise?

Hello,

The Jaaxy QSR isn't working for some reason when I click on 'Get QSR'. Whenever I click Get QSR, the loading bar just hangs there and it freezes.

It was w

I just loaded it and it is working fine. Try clearing your browser history and be sure to "uncheck" your passwords so it does not remove those for you. Close browser after clearing and reload. If that fails, trying going into a private window to load site and see if issue persists. In google Chrome it is the "Incognito" window, as it does not track history.

Awesome thanks! Jaaxy's working for me now.

Im in a narrow sub niche right now, but I feel like branching out to other products that are not related from each other but within the same niche.

Lets say I just focus

Your plan is exactly what Kyle recommends you do: You'll be fine! Branching out into related topics is a great way to expand your authority in a niche.

hey hi Jose --- it's all good and all questions are good ones here!

The answer depends upon how well your website is currently doing in terms of ranking, meaning level of audience engagement, quality content et al ..... and so how is it going?

You're asking about Google's analytics and there's over something like 200+ factors, so it's clearly a complex answer and if we did have the answer, we'd be the ones who'd own Google!

Most successful websites have been ones that have been built through in-depth (deep) extensive posts over an extended period of time with plenty of audience engagement where one has become the 'recognized authority' in a particular niche ...

Encourage you to keep posting quality content, all the best for every success, cheerio ... :)

You can definitely relate those to fishing and it will be no problem. People go camping all the time to go fishing.

Going broad? but in the same niche?
