Don't forget your target visitor when researching your keywords. Using a qualifying keyword (such as teacher or webmaster), will help narrow focus to that specific person.

Remember that affiliate marketing is, in fact, targeted marketing. The closer you can come to your visitor's needs and interests, more commissions you're likely to make.

Only now do you start to write your web site content.

First, write your target keyword at top of your page. Then, list two or three of keywords you found that will describe your topic best - as well as introduce affiliate program you are promoting.

Write each page of your web site based on specific keyword phrases. Keep topic narrowed on that keyword phrase (or phrases). You'll be writing each web page on a different topic - still within general topic of your web site.

Keeping your keyword use - and your target - in mind will draw visitor into your web site, and in turn, to your affiliate program's link. And your reward will be - more affiliate sales and commissions.
