Copyright (c) 2011 Andrew Holtom

In affiliate marketing, it's essential to receive a large flow of internet visitors to buy products from you. Traffic is also what keeps any website alive and healthy. The more traffic that arrives on your site the more sales you will make and so more money will be in your bank account. After years of trying out a variety of traffic inducing techniques, I have discovered that there are 4 ways that really work the best for pulling in traffic.

Set up joint venture arrangements with other business or subscriber list owners. Creating a successful joint venture is one of the most effective ways of bringing a lot of traffic through to any website, in particular if you are involved in affiliate marketing. Joint ventures are really just an agreement made with another party who will also benefit. This other party might be somebody who sells products of a similar nature, so they will have a list of emails of people who are interested in products and services in the same niche that you have. To set up an arrangement, then you could offer the owner of the list a percentage of each sale to make it worth their while to recommend your product to their subscribers. The best way to approach this is to find a complementary product as opposed to a competing product.

Write and submit articles to directories. There are a variety of benefits of writing articles, firstly - doing so will showcase you and your knowledge. You will be seen as an expert as these articles are distributed over the web - on other websites and in newsletters. Once somebody wants to use your article, they will need to publish your bio box that is at the bottom of every article. This will enable people to click back to your website or to your affiliate marketing product link to find out more. The link will then be another nice link going back to your website. The more links you have, the more the search engines will promote your website. I prefer to use a paid submission service to distribute my articles as it saves me time.

Use Google Adwords to build traffic. By creating an ad for the search engines, you will be able to pull in many web visitors for a small fee. The key is to find many words that are related to your niche and could well be typed in by somebody looking for information or products that you are selling. Select the keywords that are of low value, by using many of these low value words, you'll be able to keep your budget low. Every time somebody clicks on your ad, you will be charged the bid amount and you will receive the visitor on your site.

Build links to your site. Build as many links to your site or your affiliate marketing product as possible and your site will perform better in the search engine results. The higher your site is ranked, the more traffic you will receive. You will also gain a considerable amount of traffic from people who click on your links.

In order to find links, you can either purchase them from a link supplier or you can create a reciprocal linking page on your site. For each link you have on another website, you will need to place a link on your site. There are different techniques for doing this and some services offer a link triangle, so that there is not just a two way exchange, but a three way exchange.

There are a variety of ways of gaining traffic on your website or your affiliate marketing product. By taking a little action on these everyday, you'll soon be very happy with the amount of traffic that you are receiving.
