Used carefully, e-mail campaigns can easily drive traffic to your site.  This can be done by providing highly relevant and valuable information on the body of the message and then offering a link that will bring the recipients into your site. Check out these emails that have a proven track record for sales. Download these 250+ marketing emails for free, use them as they are or tailor them to fit your needs or style. 

You can do this two ways: one is by providing the full content in the e-mail message and then offering a link inviting the recipient to view more similar write-ups on your site.  Another is by giving only a portion of the content and offering the rest on the affiliate site.  A linked e-mail signature should also be included.

1) You display a text ad on your website and earn credits to have your ad displayed on other members sites. When you join 1TAE your ads will repeatedly reach their  660,000+ members and the millions of visitors to those members sites.

3) Don't forget the APSense Traffic Exchange. It gets thousands of visitors and a very wide audience will see your ads. It features both Text and several sizes of  Banner Ads.

Informative and how-to articles, especially well-written ones, are proven traffic baits for affiliate marketing sites.  Include links to similar or additional information within the content body that can only be read from your site and provide additional links on your signature.

Trade/Swap links with another site owner. This works best for similar businesses in different geographical locations. For example, I have a friend in Colorado in the home inspection business, he trades links with other inspectors in other states. It's a good link to get because it's from the same area of business, but they are not in competition with each other.

Free Link Boards are just that, a free place to list you link. Not so great for professionals and service businesses, but for a gaming, humor or entertainment website they can work great!

Offer e-newsletter and e-zine subscriptions, making sure that links bring recipients to your site.  Use a separate landing page to handle the subscription process for your visitors' convenience.

In addition your website, use a blog to get in touch with prospective customers and members.  Blogs are considerably more personal and lighter in tone than most affiliate business sites and they can be a great source of information, news, advice and tips from you to your prospects.  Include a link from your blog to your website.
