Use this interactive demo to learn how to find affiliate websites using keyword research in Ahrefs.

Quick summary

Ahrefs' Keyword Explorer lets you uncover affiliate websites by filtering for buyer-intent keywords like "best" and "review" with low keyword difficulty. Use Matching Terms and SERP analysis to quickly identify rankable opportunities for affiliate content.


Steps

  1. Search for your target keyword in the Keyword Explorer.
  2. Select Matching Terms under Keyword Ideas in the left pane.
  3. Click Include > Any word and add affiliate-intent keywords such as "best", "cheapest", and "review", then hit Apply.
  4. Set the KD (Keyword Difficulty) filter to between 10 and 20 and hit Apply.
  5. Hit Show results to generate the filtered keyword list.
  6. Click SERP on any keyword to view the live search results for that keyword.
  7. Review the SERP overview to identify affiliate websites currently ranking for your keyword.

📌 Why this matters

Finding profitable affiliate websites to target or model is one of the most time-consuming steps in affiliate SEO strategy. Ahrefs' Keyword Explorer streamlines this process by combining keyword filtering, buyer-intent modifiers, and live SERP analysis in a single workflow. By filtering for low keyword difficulty and review-style queries, affiliate marketers can quickly surface rankable gaps where competitor affiliate sites are already winning traffic. This makes Ahrefs an essential tool for anyone building or scaling an affiliate content strategy.
