Steps
- Niche: specific products with clear purchase intent and decent commissions.
- Page types: product and part-number pages, comparisons, cost guides, best-of lists with real criteria, and one useful calculator or finder.
- Data: product feeds for prices; published sources for specs and costs; your own testing where possible.
- Monetization mix: affiliate links + display ads + (where relevant) lead forms.
- Trust: disclosures, sources, “as of” dates, author pages.
- Speed: fast pages and good Core Web Vitals.
- Launch: submit sitemaps, earn a few relevant links, publish consistently.
The affiliate site kit gives you the data plumbing and page types out of the box.
