Ask What are the signs that a keyword is oversaturated with affiliates?

[Brajet]

When searching a keyword, if most results are similar affiliate articles, it can be a sign of high competition. These pages often have the same structure, like listing products with short reviews. Another sign is when big websites dominate the first page with strong authority. If new sites struggle to appear, the keyword may be crowded. It does not mean it is impossible, but it will take more effort to stand out. Is it better to avoid such keywords or try a different approach?

One big clue is the search results. Another giveaway is crazy expensive ads; if the CPC is sky-high, it means everyone's fighting for it. You'll also notice the content is kinda boring or repetitive, just copy-pasted stuff to grab clicks. And if people aren't sticking around, that's a sign they're tired of seeing the same old pitches.
