SEO Book - Affiliate Programs

Aaron Wall’s SEO Book has taken the net by storm. The simple verdict is it must contain some really useful info because affiliate marketers just keep on promoting it and people keep on buying it. This, however, is not a review of the book but of its affiliate program.

There are two potential revenue streams to be had using the SEO Book.

1. By Selling the SEO Book.
2. By 2nd Tier Earnings.

Surprisingly the 2nd Tier Earnings are not explained in detail on the main page. I have searched far and wide to find the percentage of commission that is earned from 2nd tier affiliates but with no luck. It is scarcely talked about on the net and it is ‘blacked out’ and is ‘unclickable’ in the members area. This is probably because at the time of writing this I have no second tier affiliates. Given that just about every single person in affiliate marketing has decided to sell the book rather than get 2nd tier affiliates its pretty safe to assume that this is a good way to go.

Note: This does mean there is a lack of competition in recruiting new affiliates so it may be worth trying it that way instead/as well.

Overview of Positives and Negatives

Positives

- The first thing that makes me instantly like the SEO Book affiliate program is that you get $20 deposited into your account just for signing up. The catch is you can’t withdraw it till you reach $50, which means you must make 2 sales first. Pretty sneaky, but hard to resist.

- The high stable commissions. You get paid a flat rate of $25 for each SEO Book sold through your link. Given that the SEO Book it self only costs $80 this is a pretty high commission.

- The respectable reputation. SEO Book is such a popular affiliate program you can rest assured they aren’t ‘con men’ and provide a reliable service.

- The ease of making sales. The SEO Book is relevant to all webmasters. Whether your site is a ‘make money online’ site or is an online sofa store, SEO Book is desirable. This means there is a massive amount of potential buyers and if you have multiple sites in different niches you can advertise it on all of them.

- The site is a must-read resource and excellent promotional tools are provided to help you sell the SEO Book. SEO Book aside the main site contains some of the best information you can freely find about SEO and comprehensive lists of online recourses for you to use to promote other affiliate programs.

Negatives

- Lack of information about recruiting 2nd tier affiliates and commission levels for them.

- Tough competition to sell the SEO Book. i.e. typing SEO Book into Google reveals over 18million results.

- Harder to promote without buying the book yourself. This does mean you could easily get a head of much of the competition with a ‘mere’ $80 and learn SEO at the same; but whether you think it is a positive or negative it does mean expenditure.

Conclusion

SEO Book clearly isn’t a ’scam’ and so won’t be subject to the usual ’scam or not’ investigation. Due to the high commissions and ease of sale SEO book has made it into my ‘recommended affiliate programs’ section. Well-done Aaron Wall.
