- A webmaster is someone who creates and maintains a website, commonly for lucrative purposes.
- A website generally takes 3-5 years to gain attention from the search engines and rarely turns a profit for new webmasters before that.
- An affiliate program is simply a tracking link you receive from companies. When people click this link, if they purchase something, you get paid.
- This industry is not for everyone, basically a "webmaster" will "write content" on their website/s and place affiliate links throughout the articles to make money.
WHY THIS DOES NOT WORK:
Google especially hates affiliates, they go out of their way to design their search engine's algorithms (an algorithm simply tells the search engine how to react to websites). They program their algorithms to avoid any websites with heavy affiliate links. Burying your website/s for good.
The industry is not for everyone, you need a solid mentor to teach you best practices if considering getting into affiliation online.
