Example: this blog focuses on bloggers and their queries. We promote bluehost Web hosting which is the best in this industry. 99.9% up time and easy to use cpanel makes this Web host the best in its class. As all of our audience have blogs and websites we get higher conversions with blue host products. You can also start promoting right product to earn more.
