I've been trying to get my head around SEO in affiliate marketing lately, and honestly it's not as straightforward as people make it sound. What helped me a bit is realizing it's more about answering real search intent than just stuffing keywords everywhere. Backlinks, good content structure, and patience matter more than quick tricks. I still feel like I'm learning as I go, especially when rankings suddenly shift and you can't really tell why. If anyone else is figuring this out too, I'd be interested to hear what's worked for you so far. Still experimenting with it daily right now
