The point: choosing your main focus keywords for your affiliate site isn't enough.
Why? Because, in affiliate marketing you need to also pick the exact keywords to create your content around. I mean for each post, product review, etc.
And that's not optional! What you need to understand: these longing fruit keywords might generate less traffic, but they are more efficient in terms of conversion, and more importantly, they can be leveraged in order to produce real income. In affiliate marketing the "biggest" and most powerful keywords are already harnessed by the brands themselves. And needless to say, they have more resources and knowledge ...
This is why is so important to find these keywords which are "less important" for the brands themselves.
And I'll tell you another secret ... They may generate less traffic, but if you are smart enough to choose the right affiliate programs and to pick up the perfect products that are associated with a long cookie life, you'll be able to earn long-term commissions even with months after you've created and published your content piece.
Believe me, this small trick can help you to literally multiply the earnings generated by each low hanging fruit. The key: a good product and and a good affiliate platform with long cookie life.
Here are two resources that can help you to find them:
