Case Study: The Chocolate Specialist

Back in 2006 I endeavored to capitalize on a trend that involved both “chocolate of the month” clubs and affiliate marketing.

The concept was simple. Design a compelling website with outbound affiliate links that promote products from third party vendors, load the site’s pages with a ton of chocolate related keywords then submit the site to major search engines including Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask for indexing.

To maximize exposure, I added the site’s pages to relevant link farms and “who is” sites.

The result?

A constant flow of traffic that, for 10 years, produced affiliate revenue on auto-pilot.

The Chocolate Specialist website is a perfect example how to leverage link building to position web pages on search engines, where traffic is generated according to keywords and relevant search terms.

So, consider this next time you’re sitting at home or at work eating chocolate and pondering how to make money off the internet… :)
