Driving traffic to your affiliate sites

I'm doing SEO and paid advertising. Dont wanna go too in depth. Try YouTube and social media websites like Facebook.

We do very little to no external SEO for our Amazon sites. We are very good at keyword selection and typically rank our products pages with very little off-page SEO.

Well what I do is to build a list first, and that becomes the source of my traffic
1. There are three ways I have discovered that you can use to build a massive list in a very short period of time. These are:
Soloads: A soload is simply an endorsement of your product by someone else who already owns a big list, in exchange for a fee. Some of them can actually send you up to 3000 targeted people, and if your offer is great, you can easily get a list of 1200 – 1500 people overnight. And if you’ve added one-time offers, you’ll recover some of your costs instantly. I highly recommend this for everyone wishing to fasttrack his success.
Adswap: having built a list with your soloads, you should now exchange email endorsements with other marketers looking to build their lists. This way, you could send 100 – 200 people to his free offer, while he does the same for you. This way, you can potentially increase your list by 2000 subscribers in a month.
Launching a 100% commission product: Creating a product, and finding affiliates who will promote for you can potentially help you build a massive list very fast, especially if you have an exit offer that redirects to your squeeze page. You can launch your product as a wso on the warriorforum, or on clickbank both of which have a great deal of affiliates.

Do you do this for Amazon sites? Frankly, it just doesn't seem like a good fit for that type of site.

I do well with a combination of different techniques. I get plenty of sales from organic traffic which is how many other affiliates also get sales. I post lots of articles related to the niche on different article sites such as ezine, hubpages, and squidoo.

This works real well, gives me a backlink and drives people directly to my sites as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be a review of a product. If you are selling bench presses or some other exercise equipment for example, you can write articles on weightlifting, insert several keywords etc into the article that are highly searched so the article will show at the top of the serps. After your article you place the link to your review site. You can tie it all together so it makes sense and drives them to click your site link.

I also answer questions on Yahoo Answers and this also gets me sales. Search for questions related to your niche, answer them and place your link at the bottom. You'll need to be a level 2 before you can place a clickable link, but shouldn't take that long to get there.

Along with SEO, go to places where people are looking for such products and establish an authority there.

Success in driving traffic has two requirements:

1. Putting a link where people will see it; and

2. Constructing the link in such a way that people will want to click it.


I am not trying to over-simplify this, but it really is that simple.

What people find on your site when they arrive is a matter of conversions, rather than driving traffic.

my traffic is depend on niche.

if i am working in "HUMOR OR BIZARRE " niche then i can get more than 30,000 unique visits from social media in one day and if i am working on tech niche then i may get hardly 1000-2000 visits. i have to do more hard work for tech niche than humor niche.


due to much social media traffic my stories get popular in search engines and rank well in low time.

so automatic increase in search engine traffic.

Traffic means squat if you can't sell your product. Make sure your salespage is amazing, and even 10 UV's a day can mean a conversion. People always forget that on-page SEO is vital as well, you rather have a decent salespage with 50 UV's a day than a salespage which looks shoddy with 200 UV's a day, then once you have a decent salespage, make unique, keyword rich articles and get a SEO service provider to promote your articles rather than driving traffic to your money-page; this is the best way to rank if you want to stick on page 1.

What has been working quite astoundingly well for me regarding driving highly convertible traffic is to build niche lists. Promote incrementally higher end products to these lists. Almost all of my subscribers have been buying Clickbank and Amazon products regularly for a number of years.

I have tested this out in every niche I'm currently marketing in and by far, I get a better click through and sales rate from my list than by any ad placed on any site so far.

So I put an opt in box on a squeeze page, then have a blog connected to the same domain with articles and content and refer everything to me squeeze page.

Then I can split test emails to my list and change the emails until I get one that converts really well for an offer.

As for how I get traffic to my squeeze page, it is all free and I get clicks almost immediately and then these steps also build backlinks for me but for me SEO is secondary because I want faster targeted traffic now for free.

Unique, original articles posted on Qondio.com, then when screened, ideamarketers.com for the syndication, then to my blog and then I social network the blog post everywhere.

youtube videos

forum posting

try avsforum, definitely you'll get some traffic, write a post for your site review, so some traffic will deliver and they must give total review.

To get traffic which matters, you have to promote the website to the place where there is targeted audience for your product. Otherwise the traffic which you will get have no value at all.

So in my opinion quality comes first then quantity.

I recommend you avoid SEO if you are going for short tail, long tail only.

Google hates affiliates. In my previous SEO company, we wouldn't even accept affiliates.

So don't be one if you're on a high risk term.

Same old same old. Writing and submitting articles, blog posting, blog commenting, Youtube, email marketing, JV's, seo, and etc. They all work, you just have to keep at it on a weekly basis.

Why don't you try Traffic Exchanges. They're free to join and a good way to promote your Amazon affiliate site!

Also you can buy traffic too, but don't think it will convert in a affiliate site.

i agree with wolfmmii post panda you simply have to build decent quality affiliate sites gone are the days of the wafer thin review sites stuffed with your product links. Build a good solid site and then with some seo work you have a chance, without this n place you simply don't have a prayer,

JV's and solo ads work really well. SEO works well but takes time. Any other form of paid media works as well doing PPC and Facebook ads.
