    Write reviews and add links to the product inside the reviews. It works for me.

    You could also add links at the bottom of your posts, or a few banners. To me, it's all about content and using very few banners.

    I don't know which type of blog do you have.
    First of all select those products which are suitable with your blog theme and content.
    don't put every link in your blog, just choose relevent products of your content or do some work on your content.
    It is better to work hard on content and choosing relevent products.
    best of luck....

    Offer kind of free service like cloaking, article spinning you get the idea , get traffic to spike and the rent ad spaces and text ads.
    Advertising is the key in 2010.

    Not sure what cloaking is or article spinning.

    Any suggestions on traffic spike techniques?

    You thinks ads are it huh!!! could be...good I asked I'll put a little more thought and effort in it. So you say rent space rather than affiliate ads?

    my blog is mintpalais.blogspot.com

    Article spinning software takes an original article to transform it to a new version of it to avoid duplicate content.
    Clocking software does shorten affiliate links to hide tracking Ids from commission thieves and google, the big G don't like affiliate links.
    These softwares can be a desk top based or services to be offered for free for marketers right online. You need to spread the word everywhere, it's easy to do since the service is free. People love free services and that drives lot traffic and builds back links to your site where you will be offering advertising and promoting products.
    Just go online and type in google
    Free online article spinniner
    Free online clockrer
    Free screen savers
    Free ringtones
    free wall papers
    free online translator
    At this point all you need is put google ads, banners and rent advert spaces. The more traffic you get the more
    higher is the ad space cost....
    As for traffic you can write articles and submit them to article directories, write short free reports (ebooks) and offer them for free, social bookmark your pages to get inbound links and traffic, build a blog, build lenses and hubs.......One step at a time you should pick some ranking and traffic growth.
    To see if Ads are the new buzz, just look in my space, facebook, Youtube, aol radio just to name the obvious, there are ads everywhere.
    Good luck

    The best thing to do is article marketing, and then just add your affiliate link at the bottom of the aritcle. Make sure the articles are unique and have valuable content. This will ensure you will get better conversion ratios.

    I hear that all the time but I myself read more blogs than articles. There is obviously a large article readership on the internet but what would be the most popular ones (two or three would be good).

    Thanks

    I have two blogs.

    mintpalais.blogspot.com Proven Ways To Make Money Online
    netinvestors.wordpress.com Building Net Worth From 'Net Work'

    they are about making money online but the wordpress blog takes a more methodical and traditional approach to investing.

    Give me your honest opinion. Remember they are a work in progress, your reviews are welcome.

    As long as your content is of high quality, readers do not care. If you write your content or have your content written in a way that seems you have the readers best interest in mind, they will believe you and not worry about all the reviews and advertisements you may have posted.

    One method I have learned that seems to increase your credibility is spending some time writing negative reviews of offers that you are not promoting to make yourself seem unbiased. You can create a negative review of a competitor to a highly paying product you promote to make your product seem even better.

    You can either sign up for an affiliate product and list it on your blog, create a product of your own or add Google ad sense and get paid for clicks and not sales. I believe you will be making more money than looking when you apply this steps appropriately.
