Affiliate Marketing Tips – 5 Top Traffic Generators

Affiliate marketing is about 1 thing: Generating as much high quality web traffic as possible. This can be pretty easy if you have $10,000 to spend on Google Adwords and other top pay per click sites, but what should you do if you’re on a budget?

Here are 5 affiliate marketing tips guaranteed to generate targeted web traffic:

1) Use free classified sites. This is fairly obvious but using sites like Craigslist, Backpage, and Kijiji gets web traffic. A trick to maximize your results is to use ‘Picture Ads’ that are clickable. It will more than double your responses.

2) Article Marketing is king. Articles such as this one can generate loads and load of quality traffic. In fact, I read a forum survey on the Warrior Forum that asked people for their top 3 traffic sources. Article marketing was the #1 response and was in nearly every marketer’s top 3.

3) Video Marketing. Well done videos can generate massive amounts of targeted traffic and may be the most viral traffic generation method used by affiliate marketers. (Along with free reports) I have a friend who used free software to spend 5 minutes making and posting a 2 minute video. He has gotten over 1000 hits per month since he posted it 9 months ago. How’s that for web traffic generation?

4) Micro Blogging is the next wave. Micro Blogging sites such as Twitter, Brightkite, Plurk, etc. have become an online obsession. Using these tools effectively can drive traffic to your site on demand. If done correctly, this can bring you hundreds of hits per day with almost no effort.

5) Ezine advertising is as targeted as it gets. Ezines are online newsletters and magazines that can get your message in front of TONS of targeted readers with very little (or no) cost. This can bring in quality and quantity traffic in bunches. If you need help finding ezines in your niche market this is my favorite ezine resource. It cost a little bit, but saves SO much time and money!
