Welcome to the Raiding edition of “Everything You Need to Know About WoW”.

Raiding is a term used for advanced dungeons in World of Warcraft. These Dungeons are instances that are tailor made for groups ranging from 6 all the way up to 40 players. Typical Raids consist of 10-man, 25-man, and 40-man parties. The 10-man raids are used as stepping stones for guilds to get the proper gear as well as to test their strategies and become accustomed to working together before they take on the 25 man raids.

When raiding, there are several things that are important. The first thing is that you need the proper group makeup. You are going to need experienced and well geared healers, tanks, and DPS. You also want to incorporate crowd control for trash mobs prior to the bosses. A typical raid can have anywhere from 1 to 5 bosses on average. These bosses are super mobs that require great skill and tactics to defeat. Each boss has a specific method that can be used to defeat them.

Many players search the Internet for Guides in order to locate strategies as well as videos on how to defeat a particular Raid boss. This is one area you might want to focus on when creating free content to generate traffic. If you can create proper guides on how to defeat bosses, or even have someone make you videos of a raid defeating a boss with a particular strategy, you would more than likely garner significant traffic. Keywords you might want to use would revolve around the name of the instance or bosses.

For more information about the specific raids, head to WoWWiki’s Raids page.

WoWWiki contains a separate page for each Raid. Within each Raid there is a section for each Boss. It would not be too hard to study the raids bosses, strategies, and loot, and create a guide for your site. I think this is one particular area that most affiliates forget to focus on and is one of the most consistently sought after pieces of information.

You can also find videos of most boss fights on youtube which can be freely used on your pages.
