I am still using and abusing seo for my traffic although youtube is slowly taking over from that :-)

If you want to generate traffic quickly then paid traffic is the best. There are many PPC, PPV and Banner ad options that you can look at. Currently Bing PPC works well for affiliate marketing. For PPV you can look at - Leadimpact, Trafficvance. There are many options for banner ads like buysell ads, blogsads, puxee, AdVeler etc.

Hey Ethan,

I would deff. Have to say FB Is a highly trafficking source website. Take into consideration over 1.6 billion people worldwide have and use FB on a daily basis. That Is a very high amount of people that could possibly be your traffic coming your way.

Different traffic sources will react differently to different offers in different niches etc. Some will work and bring a return, some will not.

I'd suggest you try out different options - whether that be FB, media buys, PPC etc - track the results, see which gives you the best ROI and zero in on that.

I'm still a fan of blogs, articles, forums, and email marketing. Social marketing not so much.

Since few days I found very funny but great trick to drive traffice to your website through website.

Some one posted a animated image of one puppy with blinking eyes on facebook and and in description one link is given diverting to a website. In a ver short time this image went viral and got more than 25000 shares.

And curiously i click on the that link also and visited that site!!!

You may try this trick also.

Use exoclick ppc and target websites like piratebay and other high traffic ones. I promoted a CPL product and made back my investment along with $150 profit.

You should give it a shot.

Cheers

The first priority is obviously SEO.
But other than seo, forums, social media ads like facebook ppc
banner ads on sites, solo ads, yahoo bing ads are good for affiliate marketing.

i've 100% given up on seo..sure feels good.

Affiliate marketing and email marketing go hand in hand except if you are not serious about been successful with your affiliate marketing business.

On top of the list i have:

List building
SEO
Video
Article marketing
Press release
Forums
Blogging
Solo ads

Long term traffic from good SEO seems to be the best

listbuilding and article syndication. We are doing about $5k per month in the health niche / quit smoking niche. But these work the best.

Go where your target audience already is and get your content or adverts in front of them.

That can be on social media, forums, blogs or whatever. Find ways to get your content or ads (I don't mean spamming) on those places.

Well after reading all this good information your answer is clear. It all works. The secret to making money is to find what works for you and stick to it. Good times and bad you need to stay on point with what works for you.

Hi,
There are so many and varied traffic sources that driving traffic and heaps of it is not considered on of the holy grails of IM for nothing.

Purchased Vic's paid advertising course awhile back and I will say, one does learn heaps with his course. Beware he is a consumate business man of the first order and will provide you with many rather expensive opportunities to participate which costs huge $$$. However in saying this - you will get a very, very good overview of paid advertising from Vic.

Another good person to check out re paid advertising is Jason Nybeck - he is very good, very honest and has heaps of integrity and he gives very good value for your dollars. He's also developed what he calls the Snowball method which is a very interesting take on paid advertising and he specialises in banner advertising. Worth looking into is my recommendation. He also is a big fan of FB advertising - and ensuring one keeps FB visitors within the FB framework to ensure one develops lasting relationships with customers.

Good luck with your endeavours. My last suggestion is beware of the latest whiz bang, super duper promos for the next best thing since sliced bread traffic generation strategies - you'll end up wasting time, energy, and $$$ chasing after each and every one of them and end up empty handed with a load of garbage on your computer!!!

In many respects, having tried many and varied types of traffic sources I ended up coming back (virtually full circle) to the following - A, B & C + PA method for traffic - takes more time and energy however you can outsource to a very large degree.

A - article writing - and uploading to article directories.
B - having good backlinks that are trustworthy.
C - commenting on blogs, forums, Q&A forums and the like
+
PA - Paid Advertising.

And the Paid Advertising Formula I basically put together in my mind from all my travels and learnings =

"Right Product"
+
"Right Website"
+
"Right Paid Advertising/Banner
=
Conversions, which =
Sales, which =
$$$ in the bank.

By the way - YouTube traffic can do some good also - however again one really does have to follow the methods above to really be able to generate good quality and targeted traffic from YouTube.

Hope this assists.

Good luck.

I've had some of my best ROI using Google and Facebook paid advertising placements.

myob I have to totally disagree, especially after reading through this thread. You are full of knowledge and people would gladly pay for a WSO product from someone with your integrity. Unfortunately yes all the headaches that accompany a WSO would make it not worthwhile.

With all of your knowledge have you ever thought of putting together a high end coaching program?

People who pay 4 or more figures to get coached are more likely to be busy learning and implementing their given tasks as opposed to wasting time wining and getting refunds.

Paid traffic works really well. Tyler Cruz uses it and makes $20,000 per month.

I'd say YouTube is your best bet, and then Google search engine traffic.

Youtube marketing is a great way to drive free traffic. Forum marketing in relation to your niche is also a great way of marketing.

I remember when I made my first sell via clickbank just experimenting with a 30 sec video in less than 24 hours, so I will definitely say that video marketing is a great way to get traffic.

Social Media is the in thing now, Join internet marketing groups on social media
like Facebook and Linkedin and on Google Plus. Youtube Marketing too
is also a good source of free traffic, but has become very competitive
in recent past. If you have money to spend you can buy Solo Ads but
they can be quite expensive but that is how most of the top internet marketers
get there traffic.

Google adwords
Facebook ads
email lists (my favorite)

You can get a ton of traffic through various channels. It's best to test everything out and see what works for whichever offer.

YouTube with SEO from the start.

My greatest traffic source is by far through my FB Fan Page, it gets my about 1500 clicks per month.

[QUOTE=Ethan Talley;8610528]Hey everybody,

I currently doing a lot of marketing but I need other traffic sources that are good and can get a great ROI and CTR. I recently just found out about Super Affiliate Rockstar, and Vick Strizheus' "High Traffic Academy" and I haven't even bought it yet. I would like to know what you guys think as far as other avenues ,specific and thorough answers on different courses,services,etc.

I think the best traffic sources for affiliate marketing is SOLO ADS, especially the targeted ones. I just stumbled on one seller on fiverr.com and she looks very promising. I will buy from her soon and come back to you with my experience. Or better still, you may wish to contact her there (trafficdirector is her name).
To your marketing success.

i do very well from these

- affililates

- PPC (MSN adcnt, BING, GOOGLE ADWORDS & even 7search)

- FACEBOOK (likes and newsfeeds)

- Press releases (if done properly, is one of our best....but people do not do this correctly)

- EMAIL marketing. (again one of our best but we use PPC > Squeeze page)

- Banner ads on high traffic and targeted forums. (buysellads and contacting owners etc)

There is no right or wrong way to traffic, but these works best for us. If you want to do OK online, and get a few sales use FREE traffic, if you want to KILL It online you need to use Paid traffic, as most people who do well online almost always use PAID traffic, its the fast track way to success when you test and find winners you can upscale.

All-In-One: Traffic Tips

Since your question is "What are the best traffic sources...?" you may want to keep an eye on that thread. It is already looking like a gold mine.

facebook is No.1 for traffic, for me Facebook and Youtube are the best sources

Well really it depends.

But i will advice that you build a website around the product and rank it. More like review and pre-sell websites.
