But what if you are receiving tons of traffic? What if you are receiving tons of visitors to your website, blog post, or article, but very few, if any of them are actually clicking on your affiliate link?

What does this mean? It can mean one of 6 things:

1. The reader didn’t find the content of your site / blog post / article to be relevant to what he or she was looking for. The reader could not relate to the content or it did not answer his or her question.
2. The reader lost interest in the article because it was too lengthy, boring, or difficult to read, due to grammar or spelling mistakes, or being too wordy and academic, not speaking to the reader in a manner he or she can understand.
3. You gave too much information away to the reader. He or she feels that they have received all the information they need, and therefore, have no need to click through to your affiliate link.
4. Your affiliate link may be invalid, either because you mistyped it or because the vendor has taken the link down.
5. You failed to use a strong, compelling, call to action to persuade the reader and pique his or her curiosity to click on the link.
6. The reader is not looking to buy anything despite a strong call to action in your text, and just wants to return back to the search results to research other websites.

So, in order to improve the click through rate (the percentage of visitors to your website who actually click on your affiliate link) of your site, you will need to work on improving and adapting your writing style to address each of the 6 issues listed above.

The higher the click through rate, the higher your conversion rate will be, which means you will earn more profits.
