Matt Diggity – The Affiliate Lab 2023

Most SEO courses teach you how search engines work. The Affiliate Lab teaches you how to build affiliate websites that actually rank, convert, and generate real income — and then how to scale, flip, or compound that income into something significantly larger.

Matt Diggity is one of the most respected names in affiliate SEO, known not just for running successful affiliate sites himself but for testing everything he teaches rather than relying on industry assumptions. The Affiliate Lab is the most complete expression of that methodology — updated for 2023 and built around what’s actually working in Google right now.

What’s inside:

Core Training — 45+ Hours, 210+ Videos The foundational curriculum covers everything from niche selection and keyword research to on-page optimization and link building — structured as a complete education in affiliate SEO rather than a collection of disconnected tips. Whether you’re building your first site or your tenth, the core training gives you a framework that applies at every stage.

Templates, Tools, and SOPs Six plug-and-play templates and tools identical to the ones Matt uses in his own organization — eliminating guesswork around niche evaluation, link post structure, and more. Standard Operating Procedures covering the same processes Matt uses for his own sites and client work.

The Masterclass Series:

Beginners Lab A complete setup guide for anyone who has never built a website before. Covers domain selection, WordPress installation, server setup, and the foundational technical steps that need to be in place before any SEO work begins. By the end of this section, you’ll have a properly configured affiliate site ready to build on.

Conversion Rate Optimization Masterclass Matt calls CRO his favorite part of SEO — because it’s where you can increase revenue without increasing traffic. This masterclass covers the small, specific changes that produce outsized results: the five words that increase click-through rate, the simple plugin that has been shown to lift sales by over 7%, how to engage visitors before your call to action, and the common phrasing mistakes that actively hurt conversions. Practical, tested, and immediately applicable.

Featured Snippets Masterclass Taught by Tom De Spiegelaere, who consistently captures featured snippets in one of the most competitive niches online. This masterclass reveals the full process for targeting and winning Google’s most valuable real estate — the zero-position results that can transform a page’s traffic overnight. Covers the five-step process, the two most common mistakes that prevent snippets from sticking, and what to do when Google resists giving you the position.

Authority Masterclass For affiliate sites ready to move beyond basic ranking and compete at the highest level. This section covers what it actually takes to build a genuinely authoritative website — one that ranks across thousands of keywords rather than a handful. Includes the authority content strategy, the mistakes that cap most affiliate sites before they reach their potential, and the framework for transitioning from a niche site to a dominant authority in your space.

Website Flipping Masterclass Taught by Gregory Elfrink of Empire Flippers — one of the world’s leading website brokerage firms. This masterclass covers the complete process of selling affiliate sites for maximum value, including the factors that push multiples from 20x to 50x monthly revenue, the timeline for preparing a site for sale, what buyers are actually looking for, and how to protect your site’s value in the months leading up to a sale. For anyone who has ever wondered whether building affiliate sites to sell might be more lucrative than holding them, this section answers that question in detail.

Link Building Masterclass Link building remains one of the most important and most frustrating parts of affiliate SEO. This masterclass covers a systematic approach to outreach and link acquisition — using both free and paid tools, with the email frameworks and outreach strategies that actually get responses. Covers ten proven link acquisition methods and the full outreach process from prospecting to placement.

Website Recovery Kit Three recovery plans for the scenarios that every affiliate site owner eventually faces — algorithmic penalties, Google updates that tank traffic, and technical issues that cause rankings to drop. Built from Matt’s real experience recovering his own sites and client sites — so when something goes wrong, you know exactly what to do rather than guessing.

Affiliate Email Marketing Masterclass Most affiliate site visitors don’t buy on their first visit and never return. Email marketing solves that problem. This masterclass covers the complete email strategy Matt used to add $2,500 per month in additional revenue to an existing affiliate site — including lead magnet strategy, email sequence structure, deliverability, and how to use simple Facebook ads to grow your list cost-effectively.

Affiliate Portfolio Handbook Once you’ve built one successful affiliate site, the logical next step is building several. This handbook covers the operational side of running a portfolio — hiring writers, editors, uploaders, and developers, managing workflow across multiple sites, and building the team infrastructure that lets you scale without everything depending on you personally.

Topical Authority Masterclass Taught by Koray Gürbüz, one of the leading experts on topical authority and semantic SEO. This masterclass covers how to build a content structure that signals deep expertise to Google — driving significant organic traffic through content strategy before heavy reliance on backlinks. Particularly valuable for newer sites and for anyone looking to build a more algorithm-resistant SEO foundation.

SEO Testing Crash Course Taught by Nick Swan, this section covers the testing methodology that separates SEO practitioners who know what works from those who assume. Covers how to set up proper time-based tests, how to measure traffic impact accurately, and the tools and frameworks that make SEO testing accessible even without a large team.

Optimizing Your Life A bonus section covering the health and performance habits that support high-level work — sleep optimization, morning routines, and the connection between physical wellbeing and the kind of focused, consistent effort that building successful affiliate sites actually requires.
