How would somone promote expensive items they did not own such as Polaris Razor atv's for example.

Yes, Travel's right, I only have a few affiliate products but I make sure that I believe in them and use them.

Thanks Jen

Great question! Personally, I'm not a fan of promoting items or services that I myself have not used or experienced. I think that the main part of the promoting is the honest feedback from having given it a try...

However, there are options.

You could definitely do some research online, amazon reviews and other consumer product reviews are great choices. But keep in mind to talk about both the pros and the cons. Make you sure you know what you're writing about before just publishing an article.

When you haven't tried something out, it's hard to use the voice of your firsthand experience, but don't forget that you need to be personable and relatable. Don't be too focused on discussing the technicalities of the product that you forget to be a real person and not just an ad.

You can also always contact the company and tell them you would like to do a review of their product, would they like to send you one for free / discounted. I'm sure they get that a lot, but you never know when that will pay off... Can't hurt to give it a shot...

Best wishes!

Thank you so much for the reply. I will keep all this in mind. Still trying to get my head around what I want to be an affiliate for. Already have a WA site that's coming along pretty well.

Can't help you out with that... ;-) Go with something that you're passionate about!

Sounds great!

Rich snippet still says I don't have ownership established on my website. I don't know what else I am missing.

It's working just not for your homepage, that's because you have a blogroll on the homepage.

Is that bad that I have a blog roll on my home page. Should I remove it.

I looked at my stats and I saw 4 clicks on my site. I know I have not been on it today? Does this mean I might possibly be getting some traffic?

Hello, yes this might be a sign that you are getting traffic. Google analytics is the best way i have experienced to see the traffic flow of my website. It gives you detailed information with graphs and dates of your choosing. and its free. At first in the google analytics i would start to look towards the unique clicks if your site is brand new. These are the clicks from new people that have entered and interacted with your site. Returning visitors in the long run is the one you want to keep high in numbers because those are the people that liked your site and keep returning to it either willingly or by mistake. Of course there is lots of other factors one should look at besides clicks but to get started this should be a pretty good help on knowing how the flow of traffic is going to your site.

That depends if you are checking your Google analytics or WA stats.
The clicks from WA are people clicking on your ads for WA through your website. Google shows you all of your visits through the search engine. You can exclude yourself from being counted when you visit your site by excluding your IP address. Here check this out it should help you.

yes tommy that was a point i missed when a answered first! excluding your ip is a good practice so the clicks you do does not affect the statistics of the analytics. Well pointed out.
