Comparison
blog SEO vs affiliate marketing
Compare blog SEO and affiliate marketing by acquisition, first offer, conversion assumptions, and risk.
| Criterion | blog | affiliate | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | search-led articles | buyer-intent keywords | Check whether the channel can repeat. |
| First offer | comparison tables, calculators, guides | product comparison and buying criteria | A one-sentence offer is easier to test. |
| Earnings / conversion assumption | $7.80 / 1.4% | $5.85 / 2.6% | These are site assumptions, not verified averages. |
| Main risk | Publishing without intent creates thin pages | Missing disclosure hurts trust | Write the stop rule before launch. |
