Niche Blogs And Why They Make Such An Excellent Affiliate Marketing Tool

Blogs or more specifically... Niche Blogs are simply blogs that are topic focused and target a specific market and/or niche.
More importantly though, these blogs contain targeted information that their target market is searching for.
This is KEY.
As an affiliate marketer we are always told that information, whether its an article, review, ebook, ecourse, report, mp3 or pod cast, is a key Pre-Selling tool before your potential customer decides to buy what it is that your offering.
This is where Niche Blogs come into play because of there many capabilities and functions.
The biggest advantage Blogs have is they give you the ability to syndicate your content and/or information through a technology called RSS(Real Simple Syndication).
The types of content you are able to syndicate are as follows:

That's right, who ever subscribes to your RSS Feed.

Another great thing about Blogs in general is that search engines love them and everytime you post to your Niche Blog it "Pings" the search engines and other RSS Directories you've submitted to letting them know that there's new fresh content for them to come and index.
The more you post, the more pages that will be produced, which means... more for the search engines to index, which means... more traffic to your Niche Blog.
The best way to take advantage of your new source of traffic and maximize your Niche Blog profits is to modify your blog template and add Google Adsense and your affiliate programs marketing materials to it.
