Forum marketing. That alone can drive thousands upon thousands of visitors to your site every month, or even every day depending on how many forums you use and how active they are. Niche-related forums of course.

Obviously it only applies if you're selling something with an affiliate program on your site.

Yep, we're definitely setting up a very good / high-paying affiliate program. Aside from advertising it on our site and emails, how do we get it noticed by affiliate marketers?

Yea, I've thought about that - so basically just get someone to Google up hundreds of different forums and post there from time to time?

Thanks

Solo Ads, Media Buys, Product Integration, Affiliates, Guest blogging...there just so many of them.

And to get noticed by affiliates you just have to prove that your stuff converts well...run some tests on different paid traffic platforms and seo...gather data and then contact potential affiliates in your niche and tell them your stats and from where you got them.

Make sure that you have a good back end tho so you can cover the cost of paying affiliate commissions.

Sorry, what do you mean by solo ads? Also what are media buys and product integration? Sigh I'm such a noob.

Solo ads are the single email advertisements about your website to someone's list which you can purchase here in Warrior forum as well.

Media buys are finding out appropriate ad spots among your related niche websites & purchasing them to attract traffic to your own site.

Have a look at the following thread, it will help.

Hope to have helped.

There is lots, but here is few:

Blog commenting, forum posting, and video content uploaded to Youtube.

Make sure and include a link to your site.

Video marketing and forum posting are great because they have a snowball effect. One or two per day isn't much but after doing it for a few weeks or months the effect is *very* noticeable. The trick is in making your videos and forum posts valuable enough to be noticed.

So video marketing is basically just posting YouTube videos that market the site?

What about writing articles and marketing them, also known as Article Marketing.

Then post it up on an article directory, you could use ezinearticles or streetarticles and then get ranked on Google based on the content you have in it.

Hope it helps?

  Thanks, checking out a bunch of solo ad sites now.
  
  So what about email in general - how about using those sites that claim to have a million (or whatever) opt-in emails?

When you say aside from SEO? So you mean not chasing Backlinks to position organic positioning in Google, and other search engines?

Then other ways are this,

If you are selling products, signup to affiliate networks and let their huge list of affiliate publishers promote your product.

I would try and get on radio if your product is unique, or on TV like Current Affairs shows etc.

Use Offline Marketing like banner advertisements, leave your business cards in random places specific to your business, put up flyers, or get polo printed with your website/logo on it and walk around.

Umm... no other ideas spring to mind at present, this is an interesting question, I will subscribe to this thread.

Thanks

I would go for the forum profile links. It's worked well for me in the past. I also get a good deal of traffic from articles on smaller niche sites.

  CAUTION: I feel like spamming profiles for links can be risky, I know it can work, but read the below.
  
  Some interesting comments about spam profiles from Google Webmaster Central Blog, spammers '...will create accounts and fill their profiles with gibberish... they'll add a sneaky link... Welcome to the world of spam profiles...Some fake profiles are obvious...but we've noticed an increase in savvier spammers that try to use real names and realistic data to sneak in their bad links... This isn't an easy problem to solve...Google is constantly under attack by spammers trying to create fake accounts and generate spam profiles on our sites, and despite all of our efforts some have managed to slip through...' these comments are from Spam2.0: Fake user accounts and spam profiles (2009, June 26th). Retrieved 5th May 2011, from Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Spam2.0: Fake user accounts and spam profiles
  
  I recommend white hat link building. Google knows about profile spam, so whether its today, tomorrow or a year from now, their algorithm will get savvy.
  
  In addition, don't come and say that websites cannot be hurt by spam linking. Because you can hurt your own site with bad link strategies, and competitors can also hurt your site.
  
  Further supporting evidence of my viewpoint, is the video Can I flag spammy links to my site that I didn't create? By Matt Cutts that states '...we removed the language that it's impossible for a competitor to hurt another competitor and replaced it with language along the lines of its very hard...whenever we write an algorithm for example that looks at incoming links we do think about, ok, what if a competitor tried to hurt someone else, and we try to put in code to make sure that is not easy to do'
  
  YouTube - ‪Can I flag spammy links to my...
  
  Lastly, I have written a article about Forum Profile links, and the theme of the article is its dangerous, and not sustainable. The kind of links have a high rate of death. It would be redudant to include my article in this post, but it can found at My nonsensical rant about Forum Profile Backlinks*|*Michael Dorings Blog: SEO, Internet Marketing, and Life.

6. Guestbook's
7. Reciprocal link exchange
8. Press Release
9. Squidoo and HubPages, etc
10. Social Networking e.g. Twitter, Facebook
11. Video Directories e.g. YouTube
12. Research competitor links
13. Recycle existing content, by merging it in different ways.Then submit it to article directories, or PDF directories, etc.

You could try press releases, and article marketing to the top article directories like Ezinearticles and Goarticles, the search engines tend to reward more for activities that involve a little more effort than say blog commenting
