    In all the years I've been doing it, across a range of 9 completely different niches, now, I've never found anything to compare at all with article marketing traffic, for ClickBank sales.

    This has always been the most responsive, most opting-in, and most-buying traffic I've ever had, by quite some margin.

    Organic SEO traffic (of which I do also get floods) has been consistently the very worst, least responsive, least opting-in and by far the least-buying.

    Everything else I've tried has been somewhere in-between these two extremes.

    PPC traffic can be quite good (albeit often not nearly as "scalable" and "passive" as some of its proponents claim), but using it profitably can have a really big learning-curve.

    These two links may possibly help you ...

      Hello Alexa!

      Thanks for your information but I've heard that article marketing was no longer effective since Google Update their algorithm a long time ago. So what do you suggest doing article marketing right now to help boost CB sale?Can I write a great article and then submit to some article directories like ezine, goarticle or just create a website and put my article there?

      Thanks

        You need to stop listening to those people, Ulianov.

        They don't know the difference between "article marketing" and "article directory marketing".

        The collective Google updates of recent years have helped article marketers and made our work a little bit easier and a little bit more productive and profitable, too - as so many article marketers have been explaining here, ever since the Panda updates started in 2010.

        There's no harm in submitting your articles to Ezine Articles as an afterthought, after everything else you use them for (and always after publishing it on your own site first, to secure the initial indexation), but that has only one purpose: to make the article available for more widespread re-publication on relevant sites.

        Don't do it trying/hoping to get customer-traffic from the directory to your own site. That isn't how article directories work, and it isn't what they're there for, and it isn't a "benefit", realistically (i.e. it's worse than the alternative of having that traffic go directly to your site without visiting the article directory).

        Posts #2 and #6 of this thread explain.

        I definitely wouldn't use any other article directories, additionally to EZA, though (unless you happen to find a niche-specific one with exactly the right targeting for you, but I never can).

    Terrific answer from Alexa. (I expect no less!)

    I'm unable to talk about my best paid traffic channels, but I can certainly give you one that ranks way up on the list: PPC.

    As Alexa rightly points out, there is indeed a steep-learning curve, and more than that, PPC becomes an expensive education, and one that continues to be expensive even when you're expert. Getting campaigns to high profitability is both art and science; keeping them there is luck! Luck? Take, I don't know, take POF for example. You get a great campaign going, might be bringing you in $500 a day, whatever, but the next minute it's being copied, copied, copied, and your earnings are going $500, $400, $200, $50. So, often in PPC, there is the element of luck that few talk about. So the key, therefore, is to be diverse.

    Which PPC platform you use depends on your niche; which is why I'm generalizing instead of talking about a specific PPC platform. If and when you have the cash to burn, I highly recommend it for CB; heck, for anything. Yes, stress comes into play, especially when you're talking big sums of ongoing investment, but there is a great deal of satisfaction to be had, if you have a creative AND an analytical mind, from creating winning campaigns, monitoring results, improving, and waking up each morning to nice profits.

    Search engine traffic is overall the best to promote Clickbank offers. The next best wold have to be PPC traffic, although i wouldn't recommend directly linking to a sales page (because you can't with AdWords). Your better off linking to a blog post which has your optin box. If you do want to to direct link, go with bing ads.

      It's because so many people believe this, that the overall success-rate with ClickBank affiliate marketing is so very low. I always suggest to ClickBank affiliate marketers that they shouldn't put time and effort into trying to attract SEO traffic, for two main reasons: first, it's very precarious and makes your business Google-dependent, and any business that's Google-dependent is no more than one algorithm-change away from a potential accident (or even a potential disaster), as so many Warriors have been finding out over the last year or two, some of them to their very great cost; secondly, for me, search engine traffic, in every single one of my niches, has been uniformly the worst-converting traffic out of everything I've ever tried - search engine visitors to all my websites typically stay the least time, view the fewest pages, opt in the least often and actually buy anything by far the least often. I admit I do get tons of search engine traffic to all my main sites (because high rankings for multiple keywords happen to be a minor side-benefit of the main targeted traffic-generation method I use) but I'd hate to have to make a living just from that traffic. If you have a good look round the forum, you'll also see plenty of other Warriors making exactly this point.

    If it for a super popular product such as sixpackabs or something like that,
    just plug in the website into here: Website Traffic & Mobile App Analytics | SimilarWeb

    You can actually see where they get all of their main referring traffic and
    you can sure bet that the vendor or top affiliate is running media buys
    on said sites.

    Best of luck

    Forget about Google Adwords PPC because you are not allowed to advertise affiliate products and links there.

    Paid advertising is a learning curve in itself. I suggest you start with free methods of advertising like forum, article writing and video like youtube ETC.

      In my experience, the most effective paid traffic source for Clickbank and other affiliate networks has always been from online/offline publications which were already targeting prospects for my products. Long copy such as niche-relevant ezine solo ads or an "advertorial" format in offline magazines pulled in some of the most highly convertible traffic. However, my preference was to use the free (and often far more effective) traffic source mentioned by Alexa Smith whenever possible.

        You read the question better than I did, anyway. I think I must have been a bit drugged-up when I replied to this one, and somehow didn't quite appreciate that "best paid traffic source" obviously means "best source of paid traffic". I think I somehow contrived to take it as meaning "best-paying" (i.e. most responsive) traffic. Will teach me to pay attention. (Maybe.)

          .
          The "best-paying traffic source" is not the same as "best paid traffic source", and not even close to "best source of paid traffic" just as "paying attention" is not the same as "paid attention".

          Such nuances in semantics can be the razor's edge with the "best-paying traffic source" in the most lucrative niches where the "best paid traffic source" or "best source of paid traffic" cannot compete.

          Understanding the art of contrived meaning (ie semantics) when writing for your targeted reading audience can be the difference between driving torrential floods of free convertible traffic pouring into your sales funnel compared to paid advertising drips and PPC droughts. I've made a career paying attention to this subtlety and of twisting words.

    Organic search engine traffic is usually cold traffic that's why it doesn't convert as well as article marketing traffic. With article marketing you can presell your readers before you direct them to one of your main offers (a sales letter/presentation,squeeze page,etc).

    It depends how you're promoting, what your sales funnel looks like, etc. I've had a lot of success with sending cheap PPV traffic, and even PPR (redirect) traffic to a landing page with a video that autoplays - plus it's cheap.

    For most direct linking I'd stick with some smaller PPC networks link Bing, 7Search, etc.

    Hi Warriors,

    i've made really good experience with the following traffic sources:

    1. The First and in my opinion best Traffic source is JV Partnership
    2. Press Releases did work for me extremely well - Give it a try and watch the traffic come in
    3. PDF Syndication (Write or buy a short PLR Report in the same niche your Clickbank product is and share it on ebook directories)
    4. My personal Weapon for Affiliate Traffic is to build Review Sites based on the product i want to promote - I mean not only 1 Review Site instead of building 20-30 Review Sites, each of them with 4-5 Niche relevant Articles which point to the Affiliate Product as Solution.
    5. You can use Facebook Ads but the Key to success and a high CR is to target people's interests exactly


    If you like to promote Affiliate Products you need to presell the Product on a Review Page or your Blog. The Quality of your Articles/Content will decide if you have a high Conversion Rate or not.


    Hope this helps you out
    Allen
