Online Marketing Glossary: Niche Sites
Niche Sites:
- A website oriented toward a very specific topic or audience. Niche sites often have high traffic and items can bring higher prices than on general purpose sites because they serve customers looking for unique content.
Every affiliate I’ve talked to will tell you that the key to affiliate marketing is finding a niche. No matter how you pronounce it, the more specific you can get with the products you’re promoting and selling, the higher the conversion rates will be. These are already people out there on the internet looking for something very specific, so they’re predisposed to spend money if they find what they’re looking for.

Landing Page:
- The specific webpage a visitor reaches after clicking on a search engine listing, pay-per-click ad, or banner ad.
Many successful PPC affiliates utilize landing pages to help direct visitors to convert to sales.
