The success of any affiliate marketing campaign is determined by one important item…site traffic. Without site traffic, your business ceases to exist. Very simply put, site traffic equal visitor, and visitors equal potential buyers. So, it’s safe to say that if you have no traffic, then no one’s buying what you have to offer. Period.
So, what good is site traffic and how do you get it?
Well, for starters, the more visitors you have to your site, the more your chances of making a sale. Here, I will show you the top 5 methods I use daily to get traffic to my domains.
Blogging – With sites like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com, it’s easy to get your traffic campaign started with a blog. What’s a blog? Essentially, it’s a short name for web log, a type of online diary where you can post articles and short stories for others readers to enjoy. From a marketing stand-point, you can post articles that will drive traffic, hence your readers, to your affiliate site which should be linked back to your blog. This is known as back linking.
Back links are extremely helpful in getting your site ranked in the search engines, such as Google and Yahoo. To get started, choose from a variety of blog sites and register with them to become a member. One of the more popular sites, www.blogger.com, comes with the extra benefit of Google promoting your blog within a couple of days through RSS feeds sending your site more traffic. When you’re registered, you can start posting articles, affiliate banner scripts , text links, Google Adsense scripts and reciprocal links to other sites. The key is to monetize your blog with various income streams.
Forums – Unlike a blog, a forum is more of a question and answer arena where you meet with like-minded individuals and post messages for others to read. A forum can be quite enjoyable to work with since you can learn from and teach others by sharing ideas, strategies, and testimonials. Although most forums do not allow posting ads and sales scripts, you can link to your affiliate site, or blog, by including the URL in your email signature.
To set up an effective email signature which will be displayed every time you post a message, just follow the forum tutorial on setting up signatures. A good signature should include your full name, your business title, site URL, email address, and a catchy slogan. Practice creating signatures on paper until you find the one that really brings it home..
Viral Marketing – One of the most effective forms of marketing, viral marketing has been around since the birth of online business. Although VM requires a little extra effort, the results that come from it are truly satisfying. One way to start viral marketing is to create and distribute an eBook. There are a variety of software program that can help publish your first eBook, which you then give away as an incentive from your site.
When you create the eBook, you should include plenty of links to your affiliate programs and close with a full-page ad for your product or service. To make the eBook truly viral, grant permission to your readers to sell or freely distribute the book without copying or re-writing it in anyway. Do this, and watch your site explode with traffic.
Social Networking – The easiest way to describe social networking is by recalling the largest social networking site on the planet…MySpace. Similar to the previous examples of blogs and forums, social networking sites allow user to register, set up home pages, create friend lists, post messages, reply to messages, set up blogs, meet and network with like minded individuals, join groups, upload images, videos and music, and a variety of other user benefits.
Although Myspace is becoming a popular arena for marketing goods and services, there are other sites dedicated to business social networking and geared towards the entrepreneur. To get started, check out sites like Directmatches, BigDaddyFriends, Ojeez, and join them. When you’ve become a registered member, start browsing other member pages and invite them to join your friends circle. They will eventually become part of your site traffic.
Article Distribution – This is probably the most effective and long-lasting method of promoting your affiliate business and driving traffic to your site. The strategy is simple… write interesting and informative articles about a product or service that you’re promoting, include a brief bio about yourself and your business, and submit them to free article directories for others to read. This method will explode your traffic very quickly.
If you can’t drum up your first article, try researching free articles from other authors who offer their work for others to re-write and use. When you’ve found the one that fits your niche, simply re-write it using your own words. You can also register to become a MakingYouRicher Member at http://www.wealthyresults.ws and get many resources including free weekly content that you can use for your article distribution.
