One of the biggest mistakes that I see a lot of new affiliate marketers make is looking for the easy way out.  They are always try to find a way to throw up crappy little sites and make money from them as opposed to taking some time to create a real solid web site that people would actually want to visit.

If you can’t get past creating thin affiliate sites and hoping that the PPC traffic you send to them will stick then you’ll never really cut it as a ppc marketer.  One of the things that I’ve learned in my two years at PPC-Coach is that lots of people have this syndrome of not wanting to work hard.

They are looking for the next get rich quick scheme.  I can assure you that affiliate marketing is definitely not a get rich quick scheme.  It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of testing, and most of all it takes someone who will listen to the advice of others and actually implement it.

Why would you pay to join a forum just to argue?  I see this all the time – someone joins the forum and makes a thread trying to reassure themselves of what they think is right.  They are completely off base and the moderators and members try to explain it properly to them.  However they’re dead set on the fact that they are right and nobody could possibly know more then them.

One of the hardest things to drill into someone’s head is that they need to create value.  Google does not hate affiliates – Google hates affiliates who throw up sites that serve no real purpose or add any value to their search engine.  They don’t want sites that are just a bunch of scraped content on a crappy template with a bunch of products to sell.

Take your time – build sites with REAL value and one day you won’t even need PPC at all!  Sites with real value give you a much higher quality score so you can keep your ads running and keep them profitable.  Let me say this one more time – do NOT fall into the get rich quick scheme and just build crappy sites.

Build sites with value and you’ll see a real difference!
