Affiliate Marketing Lesson #4: Find the Busy Intersection

So where is that kid with the sign going to stand to promote his
friend's lemonade stand? Is he going to stick around by the stand
that's down the small dead-end street? That won't help much. He's
going to go down a block and stand at the busy intersection.

On the internet, traffic starts with links, each serving as a road
by which visitors can travel. There are many different ways to
build these links for different purposes. Some serve primarily to
let the search engines know that someone else found the site they
linked to valuable. Others are more like an expressway.

Building expressway links is easier if you know your subject
matter. This is one of the reasons that you picked a product in
an area familiar to you back in the first lesson.

Participate in forums related to the problem that your product
solves. Help people out and make sure there's a link in your
signature file to your review site. Just make sure to check the
rules of the forum first, to find out what's allowed.

Write articles about the problem and mention that there's a
product that might be a solution and the readers can find more
details if they just follow the link to your review site. Each
article needs to include keywords you've selected in the title
and a few times within the body of the piece.

You can use the same content in more than one way.

- post the articles to directories, like
http://www.ezinearticles.com

- turn them into pdf documents and upload for sharing at a
place like http://www.scribd.com

- turned them into videos and uploaded to the huge traffic
source at http://www.youtube.com.

Most directories and similar services also offer a place to add
tags. This is another place to put your keywords. This way when
people are searching the databases they might find your article,
read your information, and be motivated to click on the link that
goes to your review site.

This is only the beginning. There is pay-per-click advertising,
media buys, social bookmarking, directory and RSS submissions,
blogging, press releases, and more besides.

There are huge and expensive courses on how to get traffic. But
you can start with the information in the $100 MADE EASY free
ebook that Aaron Dendar is giving away. Go take a look.

Tomorrow you'll find out how to multiply your earnings and go
beyond your first $100.

See you then,
