Many people who join affiliate marketing have dreams of making it big soon without doing much effort. However this is not true. Though affiliate marketing can get you excellent results, you will not be able to achieve that without a planned strategy and your hard work. Also you will have to avoid the most common mistakes in affiliate marketing and have the ability to face and solve any problems that come in your way.

Let us have look at the most common problems faced by affiliate marketers. The first and the foremost is selecting the product to market. People often get confused when it comes to a decision of choosing a product for their campaign. Your decision should be based on several factors such as the demand for the product, the interest that you have in the product and the commissions that you will get from promoting the product.

The smart affiliate marketer will surely refer to information that he or her finds on the internet about the demand for such products and will surely pay attention to the market nuances. However information is so much in the internet that sometimes you won’t even know where to start. It is best to plan out a step by step strategy in this case so that you know where you are heading and where you have to head.

Try to promote those products about which you are confident in marketing. Also you should choose those products which interest you otherwise that natural flair of marketing will not come into you. There are several people who end up marketing the products that don’t interest them with not so great results. It is natural that you are bound to do a good job about a product that interests you. You must consider that if you are going to make money with promoting that product, you are in for the long haul, so you'd better choose according to your interests.

Please note that It's useless to find a niche with high demand and high competition as this might get much longer to achieve results so you'd better find even a small sub niche within that big niche and here comes the big secret of successful affiliate marketers, KEYWORDS. Keywords are the only element that may hide the big online money and keyword research is key. Smart affiliate marketers will put efforts and valuable time choosing the right keywords for any given product within a niche before taking the decision whether to promote the product or to search for a better one.

The smart affiliate marketer knows that he or her is a person who control the traffic. He uses media such as the internet to market the products in different ways such as link building and email marketing in a case that he own a subscriber list, article and video marketing, social marketing, blogs, SEO, content syndication or pre-selling techniques. When a customer clicks on the affiliate link, he is led to the website of the product creator. Hence more and more customers will come to know about the advertiser and the products that it offers. The affiliate marketer is then paid as a percentage of the sales that are made through his reference.

But, a smart affiliate marketer will direct traffic from his own domain to the advertiser’s website so instead of sending the traffic directly to the product creator opt-in or sales page, he might even use his or her own opt-in page for pre selling purposes or for lead capture before directing, so he or her won't lose the traffic they've worked hard to get.

As a smart affiliate marketer you will have to create a good looking website that will convert your affiliate offers. We're all know affiliate marketers that can not understand why they aren't doing any money after using various traffic techniques that brings in traffic. But when you check their sales funnel, you see ugly opt-in or landing pages, so you can clearly see why their offers can't convert to sales.

You just can not do everything right except the last step, this is where all happen, this is where you should put efforts in, this is where you should use your copy-writing skills and if you don't have any, just think as a buyer and use the words that would convince you to buy the products. Do not just kill the page with words, ugly font, unrelated images or ugly headers. This is where the traffic lands and it should feel like it landed where it should be. 

Remember that getting the required amount of traffic in terms of quantity and quality can be a problem in the beginning as there is lots of competition. Even finding the right amount of keywords that will entice the users to click on the link is equally important. Even if the keyword is highly searched it becomes a competitive search and on the other hand, people will not even look at low searched keywords.

Though affiliate marketing has very good scope in terms of career building and the finances that it can bring, it may not fetch instant results. The other problems faced by many fresh affiliate marketers are that they get easily frustrated when they don’t see results in the first few weeks. However instead of sulking on not making profits, as a smart affiliate marketer, you should be patient and concentrate your efforts on testing your offers, building content and links to your web- page and enticing the customers to click on the links.

There are some affiliate marketers that complain about the advertiser which has not paid them instead of getting positive results for the advertiser. Hence even before joining a particular advertiser, the smart affiliate marketer should find out the credentials and the payment terms of the advertiser. For fresh affiliate marketers It is best to join a reputed affiliate networks which has a transparent commission payment system and also has hundreds of products which the affiliate marketer can choose from.

Many affiliate marketing's beginners also face a problem of getting confused when they try to refer to many sources to learn affiliate marketing. You should just refer to one or two trusted sources, learn and absorb everything about affiliate marketing and traffic generation methods.

One of the best way to learn quickly and effectively is to learn the tricks of the trade from professional affiliate marketers. These people have already gone through the ups and downs of affiliate marketing and their advice can save you a lot of time and effort as you know exactly what to do. Hence you don’t have to waste your time in things that are not important. You can then make a plan as to how you will execute your actions. This step by step approach will give you a sense of direction and you will instantly know as to what tasks are completed and what has to be done.

  Web traffic, in simple terms refers to the number of people who visit your website over a period of time. Today internet marketing has become one of the most cost effective ways to market products of any company. However developing a professional website is just one part of the story. What is the use if you have a professional website but no one is aware of it? Hence you should try your best to get as much web traffic to your website as possible. This is the only way people will come to know of your company and its products and services.

  There are several ways to get traffic to your website. One of the best ways is to make it search engine friendly and there are several ways to make your website search engine friendly. Since search engines can read only text and not pictures, you should make your content informative and keyword rich, don't just name the images image 1, image 2 as it doesn't contribute to your SEO efforts while naming the images with keywords (do not over do it) and keeping the whole page elements with the right density will certainly contribute to achieve better ranking. Hence when the user enters a particular query in search engines he will be led to your website if the keywords in your website match his.

  The other ways in which you can draw search engines web traffic is to insert the relevant meta tags such as Dublin Core meta tags which is a set of html code meta tags in your webpage header, text below the pictures, proper titles and description for the web pages and inserting relevant keywords in the content, etc.

  Now, what would you do if I tell you that by only adding the right meta tags code you'll be able to crash your competition and dominate the SEO ranking for almost any keyword? Yeah, I bet you've heard that kind of promises and I did as well BUT, this one is true and I bet my online reputation on it. Just click that SEO ranking link, (yes, it's my affiliate link) and get that code on that WSO page. The three techniques you'll discover have been around for a long time, but they're rarely used and you can imagine why they were kept kinda secret. You'll be amazed and you'll thank me. Now, after I gave you the golden nugget  lets continue with ways to get traffic to your website.

  Today you can even pay in order to get web traffic through paid advertising. This process is also  known as pay per click advertising. Here you have to pay money to promoters such as Google every time someone clicks on the ad that leads to your website. Google has the best pay per click program and you can definitely try that first.

  Truth is that there's some other PPC networks such as Miva, FaceBook or AdBright that will work better for specific niches and it's up to you to test. Besides pay per click advertising we also have the cost per impression advertising which you should try as it works quite well for tangible goods niches. In this case you pay a fixed amount per thousand impressions of your ad. Normally large advertisers go for this type of advertising. Small businesses prefer the pay per click advertising.     

  You can also get free traffic to your website through the while section of Google. This is also called organic traffic. However it is Google who decides when and where you ad appears in the search results. No one ever knows how Google decides when and where the ads are displayed. Hence it is should be the purpose of every organization to get its website in the first few pages in Google as this is one of the guaranteed ways to get traffic to the website.

  SEO marketers tested various ways to achieve high organic ranking for any competitive keyword with great result and although there are common techniques used by most SEO experts, some of them will get better results by implementing various links building strategies for long term and short term results.

  Within the short term results I include blog comments techniques by outsourcing the work and although that there are a lot of blog software's that will allow you to find blogs based on keywords research, most pro bloggers developed a sense (and tools) to know the source of the comment and we do not easily approve such comments. The other reason why this technique called short term SEO results is that these kind of links never stick for long time.

  The long term technique will require deeper SEO knowledge on which web pages to place the links using various anchor texts, some linking to the domain home page, some to the website inner pages that have the keyword that we want to target within their meta tags and the right keyword density within their content. Other anchor text will link to different web pages that were initially created for linking purposes. By implementing this technique wisely we can certainly achieve high organic ranking for almost any keyword.    

  You can also get free traffic to your website by implementing video marketing techniques. This can be easily done by creating search engine optimized video pages on various video sharing sites. You can use the description box to insert keyword rich optimized content linking to your site.

  Remember that it takes a lot of hard work and continuous efforts in order to gain ranking in the first page of Google. And it will take some time after you have put in the efforts to feature in Google. It may take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 or even up to 6 months depending on the competition and the number of optimized web pages competing for the same search term. Remember that the better your site is ranked the chances of getting more traffic to your website increase as people normally click the first few organic results and get all the information that they want.

Let's have a look at the key players in affiliate marketing. There are mainly 4 important players in any type of affiliate marketing. These are the merchant. the product creator or what we call as company, the network that supports marketing, the affiliate who does marketing of the products and the customer who buys the products of the company. While all four key players must exist, each of them is equally important in successful affiliate marketing.

The merchant or the product creator is also known as the advertiser and he is normally the company who is offerings its products or services for sale. There are many companies today that rightly feel that if they want to grow successfully online then they should market their products well.

Many companies today outsource their marketing to affiliates who are ready to do marketing based on a certain percentage of commission through traffic and sales affected by them. Hence this is a win win situation for the advertiser and the affiliate, the advertiser gets targeted traffic to his offer while the affiliate gets his commission if that traffic converts to sales .

The advertisers/publishers/affiliates network consists of the medium through which the marketing efforts are carried out. Today the most preferred network used is the internet as it is quick and it is fast. It does not have any global boundaries and an advertisement put up on the internet from anywhere in the world can be seen by people, no matter in which country they are residing. Hence if you want to be a successful affiliate marketer then you should definitely learn the ways of doing it on the internet. The affiliate network is also called as a middleman between the advertiser and affiliate marketer.

Next in line is the affiliate. He is a person who control the traffic and markets the advertisers products and services and gets commission in return. He uses media such as the internet to market the products of the company in different ways such as link building and email marketing in a case that he own a subscriber list, article and video marketing, social marketing, blogs, seo, content syndication or pre selling techniques. When a customer clicks on the affiliate link, he is led to the website of the advertiser. Hence more and more customers will come to know about the advertiser and the products that it offers. The affiliate is then paid as a percentage of the sales that are made through his reference.

Smart affiliates direct traffic from their own blog or website to the advertiser’s website so instead of sending the traffic directly to the advertiser squeeze or sales page, they might even use their own squeeze page for pre selling purposes or for lead capture before directing so they won't lose the traffic they've worked hard to get.

As a smart affiliate you will have to create a good looking website that will convert your affiliate offers. I get emails from affiliates that can't understand why they aren't doing any money after using various traffic techniques that brings in traffic. When I check their funnel, I see ugly squeeze or landing pages, blogs or websites, so I can clearly see why their offers can't convert to sales.

You just can not do everything right except the last step, this is where all happen, this is where you should put efforts in, this is where you should use your copy-writing skills and if you don't have any, just think as a buyer and use the words that would convince you to buy the products, don't just kill the page with words, ugly font, unrelated images or ugly headers etc. This is where the traffic lands and it should feel like it landed where it should be. I've used the word traffic for dramatization purposes but in fact it is buyers.

Choose what type of products you would like to advertise. We've been talking a lot on how to choose a product. I would just say that you must find a hungry niche, a product that will solve an immediate problem (key), and that that niche has a significant amount of monthly searches. Sign up for the marketing or affiliate program and then decide the ways in which you will promote the products of the company.

There are endless ways in which an affiliate can choose the advertiser but there's only one better way. You will absolutely need to carefully check the product you are going to promote and even buy it if you can not get a look at it. You must ensure that the product should be interesting enough for you to sell, that the product will benefit your subscribers and then you will need to check the advertiser sales funnel.

Check traffic stats, where the traffic you'll send will land, a squeeze page or directly to the sales page. If it will land on the sales page than you can use pre-sell techniques to pre-sell the product on one of your pages to increase conversions. Ask what are the conversion rates of the landings pages, the estimate $ per click (EPC). I even check about the back end products that the advertiser will use and if I get any commission on the back end as well and the payouts.

As an affiliate who wants to build a sustainable online business, you must carefully go through these steps to choose the advertiser you will send precious traffic to his sales funnel, so if your traffic converts to sales, both you, the affiliate and the advertiser are in for a long time collaboration, and it might be useful to know that you both, sees online marketing and business growth the same.

About the ways to choose the medium of advertisement all you need to do is to click some links on my blog to find a lot about social marketing such as Twitter or Facebook. Article marketing and how to seo your article so it will land on the search engines first pages, so just take a look around and you'll find some precious traffic generation techniques.

My favourites biggest networks that supports marketing are Click Bank, Commission Junction, LinkShare and the promising DigiResults where I would suggest you to join.

Hence we see that all the four players in affiliate marketing are interrelated and it is the perfect combination of all the factors that will make your affiliate marketing campaign successful.

In the previous article of this series, I've covered some of the basics on how you can make money online with affiliate marketing. In this post, we will see how you can earn loads of cash by employing affiliate marketing strategy.

Lately I’ve read a post where the blogger thinks that affiliate marketing is soon to be dead because of Google's recent updates and to his experience with affiliate marketing which led him to conclude that it's getting harder and harder to make money with affiliate marketing.

A few year back, affiliate marketing was compared to the rush for gold, many jumped on the opportunity and have found that gold while Google's recent updates simply wont allow any more to dig the way they did. I still think there's a lot of gold to be digged, the only difference is that today you should acquire marketing knowledge and use different approach and tools to dig for that gold which is still out there in huge quantities.

I found my self reading that posts comments, many of them opine that the days of affiliate marketing have come to an end thanks to Google. However, this is far from truth, and top affiliate marketers are raking in chunky commissions even today. Many of them will even tell you it's easier if you know how and what you are doing.

As long as there are people who are searching for information and products online, affiliate marketing will never die. I can agree with the argument that Google's recent updates has changed the affiliate marketing game and forced us to change the way we do business online, but I think that these changes are better for global internet users and if we, affiliate marketers, will adapt ourselves to the new methods affiliate marketing is forcing us to use, it might be easier to make money online simply because a big part of the new generation of affiliates aren't real marketers who are prepared to put the extra effort into their campaigns so, a big number of them are leaving the affiliate marketing arena and leaving us, marketers, a lot more of space.

I've seen many of them heading to FaceBook as they can reach a big slice of FaceBook members without really changing their affiliate game and some are making money but still, I think that real targeted buyers are easier to find on Google and although FaceBook has a bigger slice of the global internet traffic today, it's a social network and a big number of it's members are there for different reasons except for buying. Google can not be neglected, Google today is by far a lot more targeted and if you are planing to build an online business, you should adapt to it's rules.

Today, we will talk about affiliate marketing strategy that will have your subscribers jump in and buy what you are selling. So, instead of randomly picking up any product to promote, follow the steps mentioned below, and you will see that your sales will pick up and you will be earning commissions round the clock.

Affiliate Marketing Strategy

Choosing a niche: Ok, you are not creating your product, but you still need to select a niche where people are willing to throw open their wallets for you. But the trick is to find a niche where you don’t face severe competition. For example, there’s a huge demand for weight loss programs, but then, there is even severe competition in this niche. So, within weight loss program, you need to identify areas where the competition is less. For example, you can narrow down competition by selecting vegetarian diet food and even narrow down that sub niche to find a smaller one which still have the demand – searches with less competition.

Google's update – Adding Value to your webpage and Giving Value to your customers

Now, most affiliate marketers fail because they simply use a non search engine optimized landing page or they are using the same landing page as the product creator uses, they provide a link with a subscription box and except their customers to pay. Well, that was in the past. Google is not indexing these pages any more and banned users accounts who uses that strategy.

Today, you need to give value to your customers. Taking the vegetarian diet food example further, you should add value to your landing pages by having an SEO unique content of approximately 500+ words on it that is relevant to the page search terms while putting attention to the page meta tags, H's and all SEO components that a web page should have. If you are using WordPress there are many useful plugin's that can help you with these SEO tasks, and never place the subscription box at the beginning of the page, you can place it on the right side or closer to the end of the page.

You should change the way you used to think about landing pages. These are web pages that needs to be indexed and climb their way on the search engine results page – SERP. Use RSS submissions, article marketing, bookmarking, blog comments, social marketing strategies and content syndication plugin's etc. to build links to that web page, that's the way to build passive income from affiliate marketing.

You can prepare a report on say weight loss advantages of the vegetarian diet or whatever your narrowed niche is. You can also include tips on healthy cooking and some quick recipes in your report and if you are using email marketing, send them to your subscribers for free. Just ask them for their name and email address when they download your free report, without making any sales pitch at the moment.

You can also upload that report to free downloads sites so it can go viral and if you have followed Google's rules you could re-use their PPC platform to drive targeted traffic to your web page.

Your subscribers will definitely be impressed when they see a content rich report. After another week, you can create another report on say harmful effects of junk food. Try to include some research and statistics in your report to make it valuable. You can also engage in a conversation with your subscribers by asking them to post their comments and views on your landing page. Do make a sincere effort to reply to their queries.

And then, a week or so after that, you can pick up an affiliate program to promote vegetarian weight loss diet, and ask your subscribers to click on the link to buy the product.

Since you have created trust amongst your subscribers, you will see that they will not ignore your mail, and you will receive a better response.

The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you can promote another product after a few weeks in the same niche, or you can choose another niche of your liking. Whatever you choose, the above strategy will drastically improve your sales and of course your commission, and your list will grow bigger and bigger, with every successful offer.

I'll appreciate reading your thoughts, so .. Affiliate Marketing - Is The Rush For Gold Ended?

  Undoubtedly, site traffic building process is one question a growing number of website owners get all pumped up about. Website positioning advisor’s and SEO experts will be able to obtain traffic with the use of a range of tactics and yet you might want to attentively discover the tactics that they use as definitely not each of them is seriously worth using.

 You'll notice two important traffic techniques that will increase traffic to your site in order to obtain sales and profits. The foremost direct manner of executing it could be using email marketing campaign to contact your buyers list or to use the help of your JV partners and their list by offering some kind of report to encourage them to visit your web sites. One another strategy is to get buyers to be able to see your blog through the use of website positioning tactics such as optimizing your web pages meta tags for buyers keywords and link building techniques etc.. You'll notice a variety of tactics and those that you decide to implement depends principally on the approach of obtaining website visitors that you wish to acquire.

 Special tactics to help you generate website visitors are similar in a lot of aspects to traditional advertising. The most widespread approach within the internet marketing arena is to create curiosity for your products and solutions through demonstration or speeches, webinars, events, gatherings or e-mail exchanges - ad swaps. Similar to any various marketing strategy, your important approaches here are your temperament and personal relationships. Engage the people on your list and grab them focused on what you have got to help them solving a problem.

 Ways to get targeted traffic through website positioning is definitely a different and more complex approach. At this point, the initial mission is certainly to help you pull in google search spiders first. As soon as your blog passes their criteria's, you get indexed and positioned. Gaining high and steady ranking is considered the ultimate purpose associated with Search engine ranking optimization advisor’s. The greater number of your site's search engines listings, the easier web traffic building will be.

SEO companies

 The ultimate objective is to get your blog to appear on top of search engine's results pages (SERP) and if an SEO experts is capable to achieve these results, your site will obtain a higher number of clicks than those that are hidden deep in succeeding pages.

 Website positioning is capable of having the distinctive hurdles of traffic. Reliable SEO companies can provide you valuable services to optimise your site in order to get maximum customer's attention, but some SEO companies with their overly aggressive marketing efforts and manipulating the search engine results in an unfair manner (black hat techniques), unethically violate the search engines rules and will put your site in danger. It may cause negative adjustments for the presence of your site on a search engine result page and your site can even be removed from the index.

 You must choose your SEO company wisely. Some SEO companies talk you out of achieving high rankings naturally (organic SEO traffic) and in to paid advertising (PPC) and place your site on the advertisement section of the search engines rather than in the result pages. This form of advertising although has some benefits usually is very costly. Therefore, when you are paying an SEO company be sure to understand where the money goes. Be aware of the SEO companies that are shady about when you might see results, SEO when done right by the right company can be quick, efficient and will have a positive experience for your business.

As you probably already know I love to write about ways to get web traffic. It's a challenge and I just love to create new sites for my clients and to find new ways to achieve high ranking and to drive targeted traffic to these sites. This is going to be a long post so let's just dive into it :)

Forum marketing

Forum marketing is another effective way in which you can draw traffic to your website and it can be done by joining relevant discussion groups on forums. Although there are thousands of forums online and the more forums you join the better for you, you should take into consideration that in order to benefit with the traffic these forums can provide you, you should contribute to the community by posting relevant ideas or blog posts as empty profiles won't last for long, the forum webmasters will definitely delete your profile. You can take part in discussion topics and offer your expert comments. You can even insert your website links in your posts so that if forum members want to find out more about your website or company they can click on the link or better, create your forum profile signature using your site keywords so that in every post, thread or comment, you'll have your signature that carries your website search terms as a back link. If you plan to join several forums then you should use LSI keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing) as well and not only your site main keyword in your forum signature as LSI keywords are very important for high ranking in the search engine. If it's an authority forum then google will count that link as an important link to your site.

You will be able to get a lot of genuine people visiting your sites on such forums. Keep in mind that important forums do not allow to insert affiliate links in the signature so you'd better follow their TOS. If you are in the internet marketing niche, you can check my favourite forums (side bar) and if you aren't a member yet, I’d suggest you click the links and register, (not affiliate links). 

Traffic Software's

There are several software to increase traffic to your website. However before buying or using any traffic software you should read the review of the software as many traffic software's are bogus and they fail despite of making huge promises.

I've seen lately some new traffic software's on ClickBank market place and even promoted in the comments section (I’ve deleted these comments) by a few of this blog readers that promise you $ thousand of profit by simply investing $37 to $67 bucks and their very professional sales page clearly says that you need to do nothing more then click a few buttons. They also claim that you do not need a website, a product, you don't need article marketing, PPC, social networking marketing tactics, SEO or all the common ways to get website traffic. Yes, you just click 1, 2, and 3 and the money will start poring in. I would laugh if it didn't make me sad to know that there are new comers to our industry that will believe and will buy these software's hopping that they've stumbled upon the way to find the holly grail. Stay away (in bold), beware of these kind of promises, these are SCAMS and the products creators are scammers, sorry for being rude but there's no other word that will describe better these marketers.

I've been marketing online for a few years now and I can promise you, there's no such magic software and there are no other ways to generate traffic to your website in order to make money online BUT the common ways that involve all the traditional methods mentioned above, consistency and hard work. Follow these proven ways and you will certainly achieve the results you deserve for your efforts.

So lets talk a bit about effective Internet marketing software's. The purpose of these software's is to automate many tasks that you could have done manually. For example, article submission software's automatically register your information on more than 100 article directories and then automatically submit your articles with the resource box links after registration so in theory, we could get hundreds of backlinks from all of these article directories.

Internet marketers from all profession levels were using these software's to get the precious backlinks from high page rank articles directories but at the same time we knew that the same article submitted to hundreds of article directories won't benefit us as it did in the past, so we used article spinners software's to spin the article and we submitted spinned versions of the same article to get a higher number of backlinks. When google announced it's latest “caffeine update”, I've noticed that it doesn't index all the article versions and it doesn't count the way it used to count these backlinks even when they come from article directories authorities sites such as Ezine Articles, Article Base or Go Articles. As of today the article directories comes in the fifth or sixth place of importance after the social networks or web 2.0 properties in google's gods eyes.

I went back and checked my articles and discovered that google did pay attention to my spinned articles but it didn't indexed all of them although they had approximately 60% - 70% of uniqueness compared to the original version of the article. So, why I'm not getting the same number of backlinks I used to get from one spinned article?

Well, google is the internet leader and we're consistently testing our marketing strategies to uncover it's updates. While trying to figure out what it had learnt about article spinning I found that although my articles had a high percentage of uniqueness, google noticed that the format of my articles was the same, the exact number of words, paragraphs, the exact number of tables or image places, the exact number of links and the fact that they were in the same order and places in all of my articles.  

I guess “Caffeine update” is the right name for awakening and I think we should try different article marketing strategies, different ways to spin our articles and different approaches of content syndication.

I'm using "Answer Analyst" and “The Best Spinner” from Jonathan Leger, one of my most appreciated software developer and online marketers. His software has more then 1,300,000 synonyms and it's database is growing fast by it's users. As of these days, this is the best article spinner around. You'll be able to master this software in no time and it has all the features you'll ever need to get unique versions of your article built in.

Now, referring to google recent update, to spin your articles isn't enough any more. I'm still using the best spinner software and after I have some different versions of my article, I'm trying to read it and to change the paragraphs order, to place the images or my links in different places and by using the html version of the article it's quite an easy job to do. Although it takes more time to spin my article the new way, it results in getting the links I’m after as google is indexing each and every version of my article and again, i'm starting to get traffic from my article marketing campaigns.
