Many advertisers don't take advantage of product related keywords. When we say "product related" we are referring to search terms that include the product name or the company name of the product that is being searched. My previous examples (the Rolex watch) was an example of a situation where you can benefit from product terms.
However, there are MILLIONS of products and services. This same principle can be applied to all of them.
For example, if someone was searching the term "wealthy affiliate review" (above, I searched using Jaaxy), this would be a product-related keyword for Wealthy Affiliate, as would "wealthy affiliate", "wealthy affiliate program", etc.
People who search product-related keywords are typically very far along in the purchasing lifecycle because they are already knowledgeable in the subject area and they have already been exposed to some form of branding or advertisement.
Someone who is searching the term "wealthy affiliate review" has probably already done a significant amount of research and are into the Decision phase. They may have started by searching the term "affiliate marketing" and found a website promoting Wealthy Affiliate. They then did some additional research and analysis on Internet marketing related schools to decide which program would be best suited for them. Finally, they search the program they are interested in joining, Wealthy Affiliate.
Here is another example, a product that is always trending with each new iteration, the iPhone (iPhone 4 in this case)
As you can see, large numbers of people are searching for iPhone 4's, and lots of them a searching for reviews. These keywords have very little competition and can be leveraged to attain targeted traffic that is far along in the customer purchasing lifecycle. If you can deliver the product information they are looking for (the program is excellent; the program is good, however check out this better alternative), then you will likely be able to convert this product centric audience at a very high rate.
I appreciate your timely post. As most of us just starting out, it behooves all of us to have a complete understanding of the
correct procedures and use proven methods to be able to
make ourselves profitable if we decide to sell online. It seems
to be a completely different ballgame than buying in person in a
store.
Cheers,

I think a lot of us go through the same... we are all learning as we go.
I wish you well fireman!
Ps. My dad was a volunteer for just short of 20 years
I am finding out just by building my content there are products that I do use and would recommend to people who are looking for the same thing.
I just don't know if I can publish it on my site.
For example, " I really like Blendtec blenders. There are strong and reliable." Or "I really don't like K-cup coffee machines"
This is exactly what people want to see. Honest reviews from real people. And this is what will lead to a lot of your success as an affiliate.
I was downloading some recipes to my website when I got a warning that the content is not original. So what do I do?
Do I rewrite the recipes? Or do I have to come up with my original recipes?
These are recipes that I used that worked but I see that I can’t use them because of the copyright issues. Do I need to pick a different niche?
I am creating a website for people who are looking for healthy low carb ideas and I am really just passing on the material. Do I need to credit the source?
I’m not sure what to do
There's nothing wrong with sharing existing content on your site, it's a good thing if your audience finds it valuable. However, if you are trying to rank that particular page in Google, then you will want to add plenty of unique content on the page as well. Because Google wants to rank unique content, not duplicate content.
Also, if you are copying something word for word, then best practice is to cite the source of the info. So just pop a link in the page that shows people where you got the recipe from. There is a reasonable boundary here though. If the content you are producing is unique and it's the result of many sites/ experience you've learned from (which in most cases it will be), then you obviously don't need to create a full reference list in your article. That's over the top.
So to sum it up... share the recipe on your site either way. But if you want that page to rank on Google, be sure to include plenty of unique content. And consider citing the source of your copied recipe with a link or mention.
Hope this helps!
maybe it is the bifocals cause I have to look down all the time. LOL
I just get up and down, walk around, drink lots of coffee. Anyone got any suggestions on what to do for getting sleepy while they read, please let me know? This is a on going problem for me for a few years now.
