Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I want to create a quality content niche oriented website using wordtracker’s keyword tools, on a CMS platform and will monetize my website by displaying google ads and by affiliate marketing.
Please tell me what things i need to know to fulfill my job as i am all new to this field.
Also tell me what SEO practices i need do for my website.

I started my own personal Video Gaming & Entertainment blog site called Tauri33 Gamer (http://tauri33gameblog.com) about 6 months ago (the beginning of July 2012). I post as often as I can, but with my full-time job and my family, I mainly am able to maintain this blog on a part-time basis, but would like to be able to work on it full-time. Is there any advice on how I can make my blog more popular? I do get an average of about 200 to 400 views per day, but I don’t seem to get any blog followers. I feel like I am providing quality content and I try very hard to post several posts (somewhere about 2 to 6 per week). I have options available for following the blog by email updates, Twitter, and RSS Feed. Also, is there a way I can make my blog more profitable? I am currently an affiliate partner with such companies such as Amazon.com, Entertainment Earth, Barnes & Noble, GameStop, & Apple iTunes. I also have a Google AdSense account. I have links on my site, but no one seems to be interested in using them. I am hoping to generate revenue with these affiliate links so I can eventually transition my time on maintaining my blog from part-time to full-time. I also would like my blog to become a respected resource of information for the video gaming industry as well as for television & movie news and updates.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, yahoo contributors. I have a question that will question my shallowness. I am interested in how much work does it take to monetize a blog.
To rule it out, I’m talking 500 $ a month. This is.. let’s say, my top goal. My question really comes down to numbers. How much money do pay-per-click ads generate? How much money do banners generate? I know this all comes to traffic, but how much traffic should I have to be able to cash out 500 bucks a month? I know a successful blog comes down to a niche, to passion, to quality content. But the only thing I care about right now is dough. Being smart, as I consider myself to be, I know I could to this. I have no problem in writing low class material that would bring stupid audience and no principles when it comes down to this.
Please don’t judge me, I’m not really like this (you can ask my girlfriend, she knows I’m awesome), but this is the truth when it comes to this particular case. I would appreciate it if you could help me (again, what I’m looking for are numbers).
Thank you.

TO ALL THOSE READING THIS: you are either a person who wants to get noticed or you think you have the answers to this question or you’re just passing by. The point is, with all of people claiming to know the answer to getting subscribers, viewers, etc…I have yet to run into somebody who has a formula to achieve this. I bring this to your attention because I have studied trends, viral marketing, points and highlights from all over the net. I have, after I have done everything that was suggested such as creating responses to video, blogging, posting on forums, creating high quality content, creating different channels, and much more: I have discovered there is no formula, as of yet, to achieving more views..I want people to know this because if you want to give up, then maybe you should. But if you want to make videos because that’s who you, then keep on doing what you love and there is always a shade of hope that maybe you will be discovered. From what I have seen, there are great youtubers out there who never get attention and then there are those that get attention and nobody knows really knows why. Is youtube bias towards some countries and do other countries get faster responses…we all hope, that one day, one of our videos will get discovered or that people will be attracted to what we create. If you have been making videos for the past few years and still no results, then you and I have to seriously rethink things here. We need to come up with an answer that is outside the box, something new, something different. I have spent years on these yahoo answers and the majority of people who post on these sites have never been success in large youtube attention. First of all, what is attention, 5000 views, 50,000 or 100,000. I would like to say that 50,000-100,000 views on a video that you made is amazing but others might have different standards.
I know 3 people personally who have had viral videos of more than 100,000 hits and all these people have no idea why it happened or how?
The point that I am trying to make is that you should try anything and everything because youtube is a mystery and unpredictable. So the predictable in theory won’t work, not that it won’t! If you are just starting out, do what you do and you never know what may happen.
I will fill you in a few things that are Universal..that the world hungers to see such as emotion(double rainbow), faces like Justin bieber, charm, beauty, character or personality that is different, cute, attractive, ordinary but extraordinary(the man with the golden teeth) etc
I write this because after 3 years of youtube creation, after dozens of channels, parody’, songs, skits, , some HD, other’s just SD, etc..and having one video reach 50,000, I still need to re-evaluate these things, to ask myself why I do this and if I am doing it for the right reasons. I always come back to these forums just to see if there is something new out there I haven’t done yet…
“keep the youtube dream in your pants until youtube or the world yanks it out for a *******”
