Getting Traffic

Posted on March 20, 2008
Filed Under general, traffic |

So now we, after reviewing tons and tons of merchant offers, finally decide to pick one, or a couple of merchant products to affiliate for.  After all, that was the reason we came into this business, wasn’t it - to go into affiliate marketing, and to make da money?

Wait.

We sign up as affiliates.  Then what?

Ah, yes.  We got to get traffic to the merchant.

There are many ways to do this:

1.  Write a blog.  Blog frequently about and around the product, and insert a link to the merchant.  Write articles with good content, some of which you post on your own blog, others you post in the  free article directories (get a link back to your website/blog).  Create videos about the product / your blog/ yourself - in short about anything which you feel will attract traffic.    The end result of all these efforts will be that you will get traffic, slowly but surely.  However the word slowly is not too attractive to some people who want results fast.


2.  Search Engine Optimization.  A whole industry has grown up around this term.  Basically a process by which you create your product or article or website and by a process of clever coding, structural change, presentation, insertion of keywords, usage of language etc, you end up having your site placed higher in position by search engines in search results, where more searchers see it and therefore visit your site.  These visitors are considered highly targeted because they have searched for certain data that you have in the first place.  Again, this process is considered quite slow, and can be pretty expensive, because if you want to do it well, you will probably need the services of SEO experts.

3. Join forums and communities.  Visit other sites and blogs with similar interests.   Contribute, contribute, contribute.  Give good content.  Talk sense.  Get a link back to your site.  A slow way, but you may develop a stream of loyal traffic.

 4. Purchase a safe list i.e. a list of email addresses you can send your offer to.  Join a traffic exchange (eg blogrush, blog catalog, blog hub, etc).  Slow, often not-so-targeted traffic.

5. BUY TRAFFIC.  A majority of this will be via Google Adwords.  This offers highly-targeted specific traffic (depending on how you set up your ad).  EXPENSIVE, but FAST.  Again, another industry has grown up around this with multiple experts teaching you how to configure your ads so that you pay as little as possible for traffic with a combination of cheap and effective keywords specific for your ad.

    Great post! But rather depressing, really. Never knew there was so much to do to get traffic.

    emotional growth…

    Think of the worst situation that can result after the self- improvement. Try to find various solutions to it. Reflect on how much you can loose, if the worst happened, and how important those things are to you. If you find more than one reasonable sol…

    thanks for these info…i still dunno how to go about doing it. right now, i content myself to commenting on other people’s blogs, hoping that my links will get noticed eventually. and then of course, there is my signature in forums. well, i guess that is just about it. i don’t want to pay for traffic anyway.

    how are you doing tony?:) good day!
