How do YOU get traffic to your affiliate sites?

I am new to the affiliate game, and am trying to research what has worked for DP members and what hasn't. Please feel free to let me and the other members know what has worked for you...and what to stay away from. It would be a great help to myself and any other members trying to learn the art of affiliate marketing...

 

No suggestions or help so far? Wow...guess of the members making $1000 a day in affiliate marketing don't want to share their secrets...

 

Is that a surprise? ...for my affiliate marketing I usually just do PPC. Basically AdWords loves me and my affiliate marketing tests.

 

I write up content (c&p) for a product and post it on my blog.

 

Good to finally see some input - I know there are some experienced DP affiliate gurus out there. Keep it comin'...

 

Hey, mate

SEO is one of the cheapest methods to drive traffic for most beginners so this is something you want to look into.

Since you know SEO, then idea is pretty simple, you create 30-100 page website around niche, e.g. weight loss and offer weight loss exercises and diet products to your visitors.

This said - probably it will be a review website or blog reviewing popular products accompanied with good amount of unique content on general weight loss topics.

MoreNiche has some good free guides you might find useful since you're a SEO.

Good luck

 

@SandisV: Thanks for the input - I have been told that the SEO experience comes in handy. I will have to check out MoreNiche..

@seoraj: amigos huh? Definitely keep us updated...

 

I have had a lot of success with creating a review style page on an authority site like squidoo and then using the right tools to get lots of backlinks to that page.

Its much less complicated and time consuming than creating a large website from scratch and because google already loves squidoo its easy to get ranked.

Most times I have between 5-9 out of the top 10 spots for my highly targeted long tail keywords on google when i use squidoo with a keyword rich domain using dashes like-this-dot-whatever

and using couple tools called senuke and microniche finder.

microniche finder will help you find highly targeted but less competitive keywords to optomize for.

senuke when used properly and not abused as a black hat tool will help you get multiple top 10 listings. You can basically dominate the first 3 pages of google, yahoo, and msn if done correctly.

Since you have experience with seo it might be necessary but for anyone else considering se nuke you better spend a great deal of time in the forum first before you launch anything and ask questions if you are unsure.

If you don't you can get your stuff sandboxed in a matter of hours or worse banned completely.

 

Thank you kensmonies for opening up about what has worked for you - hopefully both rookies like myself and the experts can pick something up from this thread...

 

Your welcome man, I believe in abundance and not scarcity. Anytime my friend.

 

Let me just ask this: I have become pretty familiar with Wordpress, and have built about 4 blogs now, all of which are automated. What do most of you experienced affiliate marketers do after you build your blogs? Please be specific if possible...

 

I just made a post about my product launch which includes a detailed step by step plan of action that is guaranteed to work. Click the link below to take a look.

Hope I could help.

 

SEO in my blog if it related to my blog
and if it's out of topic, I use squidoo with optimized SEO and tags.. Bring some nice result

 

I post on webmaster boards...it is always good being helpful and it is even better if you have something to give away for free

 

I would say some of the best & free method in getting traffic to your site is by doing joint venture, forum marketing, article marketing, blogging & many more. However, the most crucial aspect is not how many visitors you get, but... how many visitors that are converted into customers..

There's also a little secret where you can easily get paid with clickbank simply just by showing your own webpage to your visitors..

If you like to know more on this little known secret, you can check it out on my signature link below..

 

PPC is the simplest one...but make sure your keywords are relevant to your website content

 

SEO Cheapest source of traffic

 

I think 70 work is done by CPC network and other is done in different ways like email marketing , signature link , buying banners on good affiliate blogs and by submitting articles to website and get traffic to sales pages .

 

Could you please tell me what is CPC?? i have never heard about this one before.

And i agreed with the others like signature links, submitting articles and all

Help me to learn about CPC please. .

Thanks
Raj

 

I use all these:

SEO: takes a while to get decent traffic
PR: need to have a decent site and story/hard work to get mass coverage
PPC: quickest for traffic
EMAIL: need to be resourceful in finding your list/takes time to build a list

I run by this rule: if you can make it work on PPC, you're onto a winner
