    Lol, I guess you're dedicated doing this for years & no traffic.

    How about picking one from your list & master that instead of chasing every traffic source?

    Email marketing isn't a traffic source, you would have already had to have that traffic before you built the list. The traffic had to come from somewhere before subscribing to your list. I guess you built a real list with targeted traffic & didn't spend $5 on a junk email list.

    I'm guessing you're interested in SEO since you posted on the SEO forum.

    When you need help, ask specific questions. How to get traffic isn't specific.

    If you're interested in SEO it would be helpful to see your site. The definition is very generic.

    However, I can tell you the common problems with affiliate sites selling Amazon products. For one, many of them have very thin content. It's essentially just a placeholder for the affiliate links. Google seems to spot these sites, and demote them in the results. As they should: the sites are useless for any real visitor.

    Often e-commerce sites and affiliates try to make it easy for themselves, and use vendor-provided content. The problem is that they're competing against the manufacturer or reseller. If you're competing against the likes of Amazon - well, you're not going to get anywhere. Some web stores write their own content, and try to be informative and entertaining. That's also a great way to bait for links and shares.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

        Err... If you need to ask that kind of question I feel it's time to leave this thread. What did you not understand? Are you searching for a push-button quick fix? Haven't got one. This was just an example of what some companies do to compete in e-commerce.

    The biggest factor is the niche you are in and slightly the nature and outlook of your site. How is your traffic to conversion ration if any?

    I agree with Yukon. One of the best things I figured out years ago was to find 1 or 2 forms of traffic generation I liked and then focus on becoming an expert in those. That has worked pretty good for me because I do not jump around to every new method and product teaching those methods. This saves me time and money and has helped me hit my own traffic goals.

    you should decide which traffic source for you site : seo or PPC

    If you choose seo,I have some advice :

    - Find keyword with long tail pro

    - Check out competition with ahref

    - onpage site and write good content for site

    - link building and get traffic from google

    Test traffic and get sales

    Good luck.

      Dear Adeayo501, You can try Article submission, maybe you can find the right way. I also have some difficulties on generating traffic. But I tried Article submission and its worked for me.

    Before starting to spend more money and time, check the main variable in this equation. You said you have tried many methods but there is no traffic, I guess there should be a spike in traffic once you start an ad or PPC or anything else and then it stops. If that is the case then you have to look at your website itself as the main variable and see what is wrong with it. See the bounce rates, time on site and other attributes of analytics on your website to see what is it that cannot attract/keep visitors on your site.
    SEO by itself is not enough if your website is not correctly set.
    Share a link to your site so we can have a look and see if there are things wrong with it.
