Website Blueprint: Build an Affiliate Business Blueprint and Plan

Once you have chosen a money making website idea and have completed the necessary keyword marketing research, it's time to put together a website blueprint and affiliate business plan. You have all the information and data you need to build an affiliate blueprint that will guide your actions as you write content for your new website and internet business.

Your affiliate website blueprint should take the form of a 3-tier pyramid. The first tier, or the top of the pyramid, is occupied by just your home page. The second tier is the glue that holds the website together. Second tier pages should provide some general information
regarding a particular topic related to the home page, but then those pages should split off into several very specific third tier pages. To summarize and make this idea of a pyramid more clear, the first tier is your home page which will link to several second tier pages. Each of the second tier pages in turn link to several related third tier pages.

The first tier, or your home page, gives a general overview of what your website is all about. Second tier pages are navigation pages that cover more specific areas related to the overall website topic. Second tier pages link back to the home page and also to several third tier pages. The bottom of the 3-tier pyramid, or third tier pages, is where pages really get specific. Third tier pages link back to their respective second tier counterpart as well as linking back to the home page.

An example of a full-blown affiliate website blueprint would be to have the home page link to 15 second tier pages which each in turn link to 15 more third tier pages. So you would have 1 page on the first tier, 15 pages on the second tier, and 15 x 15 or 225 pages on the third tier.

An example of a smaller affiliate business blueprint would be to have the home page link to 8 second tier pages which each in turn link to 8 more third tier pages. So you would have 1 page on the first tier, 8 pages on the second tier, and 8 x 8 or 64 pages on the third tier.

It's up to you to decide how big to make your affiliate website blueprint but I recommend planning out as much a possible before starting to build web pages. If you would like a more detailed explanation including graphics of how to build an affiliate business plan in the form of a pyramid, check out day 3 of the SBI Action Guide which also gives further details on the importance of developing a pyramid-style affiliate business blueprint on day 6.
