5 Effective Methods to Explode Your Affiliate Program Traffic Using Social Network Sites

Thousands of burgeoning affiliate marketers and business veterans are utilizing social networking sites, like Technorati and Digg, to send 100s and even 1000s of daily visitors to their home business sites.

This isn’t a new phenomenon. In fact, from the dawn of social networking sites there have been a plentiful herd of internet marketers waiting to discover how best they could use this explosion of traffic - to drive visitors to their own sites.

Here are some tips to maximise your exposure on such sites using tried and proven methods to drive targeted traffic to your website:

1. There are numerous networking communities online that you can sign up for free. Submit to as many as possible. You can quickly do a search on Google for the most used and highest traffic ranking ‘Social Networking sites’.

2. If it’s within your budget, I highly encourage you to purchase a web script or software utility to put this process on auto-pilot. I use a Wordpress script called Auto Social Poster that will automatically submit each blog post I publish to around 30 Social networking sites - including all the most visited ones.

3. The Social sites usually link from your article title back to your site PLUS they put your link on pages on their site - determined by whichever keyword phrases you use when submitting. Ensure that you use popular search terms in your tags and article title. Hint: Choose three to four word(long-tail) keyword phrases to increase the likelihood of your Social Bookmark article ranking high on Google and the other top search engines.

4. Interact with other SB members. On either Technorati, Propeller, or Digg, I encourage you to take part in site functions, for instance commenting on member articles and adding friends. This will encourage them to do the same for you which will in turn raise your ranking and standing on the network in question.

5. Link to your social bookmark pages. If possible add links to your Social bookmark account to as many other sites as possible. Some article submission directories disapprove of using affiliate sites or similar links in your resource box, but many will overlook this. So it’s a good idea to add your Social Networking page link to your author bio box, if article submissions are a method you use in your daily marketing. Creating a link back to your SB articles and pages will give the URLs on these pages a great boost in search engine ranking and may even help you grab a much sought after top spot on Google or Yahoo.

These are just some of the way you can significantly increase your potential to grab massive free traffic from Social Bookmarking sites. Apply them today to your marketing and watch your traffic and income soar.

Videos and Affiliate Marketing

I have recognised the power in this medium for some time now but unfortunately I just don’t have the tecnical knowhow to produce a top class video to promote my affiliate marketing programs. Video will work just as well with affiliate products as it will with any other.

A couple of alternatives I have found to having to create my own video are:

1. Squeeze Videos - This service will provide me with quality videos with which to promote my email optin pages. This should increase optin %s and so will pay for itself in a short time. Click the link below to find out more about SqueezeVideos:

Following Up with Your Prospects

If you are serious about becoming a super affiliate marketer then you need to have a serious thought about how effective your email followup system is.

Do you even have a followup system in place? If not you should have!

Following up with your prospects is extremely important in order to close the affiliate sale. Most of you web visitors who come to your site will leave without buying any of your offers and in most instances they are gone for good.

If you have a followup system in place though, then you can contact these prospects as often as you wish or until they unsubscribe from your mailing list.

It is a fact that it can take 5 or more followups to close the sale so it makes sense to keep in contact with your affiliates.

I have a mailing list of around 11000 prospects and I contact them regularly with new offers. This list has become a goldmine - as everyone who owns a mailing list know.

The easiest way to followup with your website visitors who add themselves to your mailing list is to join an autoresponder service. For more information on this click the link below:
Email Autoresponder Service

Once you have signed up for an autoresponder you simply copy and paste a form onto your website to capture your visitors email addresses. This will put your visitors name and email on a list from where you can followup. It is possible to have emails go out to this prospect at set intervals. This is the idea!

You can also broadcast emails to your list at anytime.

Every successful affiliate marketer has an automated followup system in place. If you want to duplicate this success then it is important that you follow suit.
