10 Proven Ways to Drive Targeted Traffic
...to Your Affiliate Marketing Site
When you're involved in affiliate marketing, easily one of the most
major concerns you'll have to face is driving traffic to your
site. And not just any traffic – you'll need
targeted
traffic. Here are the top 10 proven ways you can drive
quality
traffic to your affiliate marketing site and increase your
income-generating potential:
E-mail campaigns
Used carefully, e-mail campaigns can easily drive targeted traffic to
your affiliate marketing site. This can be done by providing
highly relevant and valuable information on the body of the message and
then offering a link that will bring the recipients into your
site.
You can do this two ways: one is by providing the full content in the
e-mail message and then offering a link inviting the recipient to view
more similar write-ups on your site. Another is by giving
only a
portion of the content and offering the rest on the affiliate
site. A linked e-mail signature should also be included.
Articles
Informative and how-to articles, especially well-written ones, are
proven traffic baits for affiliate marketing sites. Include
links
to similar or additional information within the content body that can
only be read from your site and provide additional links on your
signature.
Newsletters and e-zines
People love information, particularly those about subjects they are
curious about or are involved in – which explains why
targeted
methods to drive traffic to affiliate marketing sites work
best.
Offer e-newsletter and e-zine subscriptions, making sure that links
bring recipients to your site. Use a separate landing page to
handle the subscription process for your visitors' convenience.
Blogs
Other than your affiliate marketing site, use a blog to get in touch
with prospective customers and members. Blogs are
considerably
more personal and lighter in tone than most affiliate business sites
and they can be a great source of information, news, advice and tips
from you to your prospects. Include a link from your blog to
your
affiliate marketing site.
Social bookmarking sites
These sites are a rich source of targeted traffic that you can drive to
your affiliate marketing site. Your market demographics are
also
easier to define so sending out invitations to potential leads and
members is a lot easier.
Discussion forums and boards
By leaving useful and thought-provoking comments on discussion boards
and forums, you encourage other members to react and send you a
reply. You'll be able to build a networking relationship from
here. Make sure to sign with a link back to your affiliate
marketing site.
Guest blogging
You could drive another blog's captured traffic to your affiliate site
by becoming a guest blogger. If you can write well and can
offer
unique and useful content, the site's readership will find you
interesting enough to follow you to your own site.
Allow bookmarks on your web pages
If you have content, you can drive traffic to your affiliate marketing
site by allowing your readers to bookmark certain pages. This
will help promote those pages and your website to other people who
might be interested in the same subjects.
Host a contest
Locate your target market and then promote a contest through ads or
e-mails. All details must be found on your affiliate
marketing
website so you can drive traffic there. Registration must
also be
performed on one of your landing pages. Just make sure to
offer
prizes that visitors who will be coming in will find useful.
Freebies!
There's nothing like a nice gift to drive targeted traffic to your
affiliate marketing site. It's easy to implement and can be
relatively cheap. Furthermore, you offer these visitors an
incentive to sign up for whatever campaign it is you're promoting.
