5. Getting Paid

When a sale takes place between the customer and the webshop/company, (of which you are promoting products from on your website), you get paid. And the payments can vary enormously.

9. The Importance Of Keywords

Keywords or keyword phrases are very important. They drive traffic to your website. People are adding certain words into the Google or Bing search bar. Looking for something specific and the search engine crawls millions of web pages within a few seconds. And proposes the most relevant pages to them. When people like your title and intro text, they click your link. Great keywords/ or keyword phrases are telling the Google or Bing search engine what your post is about and they ensure that your article is offered.
