On the main page, you can post listings of essay services with a short description of each. A click on a brand or block can immediately lead to the service using your affiliate link or send the user to a separate review page with an attractive CTA.

Resource for 30-70 pages, where each internal page is sharpened with one key hf_brand_name + reviews will bring you more organic traffic.

Creation of a semantic core

The easiest way is to request a list of key queries from the support of affiliate programs and work on them, but from personal experience – the lists of affiliate program keys are often not updated or are similar in many ways, respectively, all specialists work with the same keys, creating serious competition for each other.

Ideally, you need to use the keys provided by the affiliate to compile a list of keywords yourself.

Useful tools such as:

ahrefs.com,
Google Keyword Planner tool,
Google Trends.

We group the semantic core and scatter it among the pages that we plan to promote.

Content creation

The text should be unique, useful, and engaging. In addition, your user should be sure that this is an independent review site, and they are not trying to sell anything to him. The review text should not be advertising or with an emotional connotation: it should give the maximum expert assessment of the service.

If you plan to host a blog on the site, use unique images of the relevant topic, not forgetting to write alt tags for each, and combine keywords into groups according to customer needs.

Information… The audience uses them to find any information.

Examples in the education niche might be:

How to write research paper.
Custom writing service reviews.

Transactional… Used when the user plans to take an action.

Buy essays online.
Hire a writer.

Other inquiries… Those that make it difficult to determine the user’s intent. For example, when a student uses the key research paper, he may simply be interested in the types of work without wanting to buy them.
