What Are The Types Of Traffic Building You Can Use For Affiliate Marketing? There are many ways out there that people teach, whether its free advertising or payed advertising.

If your on a budget when your starting off, then free advertising is the way to go. Don’t think that free advertising you will get no traffic, you just have to put more time into it. Many free advertising ways can consist of article marketing, blogging, Squidoo, classifieds, viral networks and so on. But these are the basics.

Now if your starting off and you have a bit of money to spend, then definitely pay-per click will fast track you to getting results. But I’d suggest that you learn about pay-per click before you jump straight into the deep end.

Now back to free advertising. Article marketing which I suggest is a good starting point. This is because people want to read about quality information before they even think about purchasing anything. Now the trick to writing articles is not about selling the product, its about writing good quality content about that particular niche. For example you can give people tips about niche. People love tips, as it gives them an idea that you are trying to help them, not sell to them.

Next, you can do a blog. Squidoo is like a blog as well. You basically write a blog about that niche and give quality information. Once you have finished your blog you post it. Now don’t make this mistake, once you have posted it, you have to go back every couple of days and add more information to it. Also check the traffic amount, and if your not getting any traffic change things around.

Next form of advertising is classifieds, when you write up a classified make sure the title stands out. In the body of the classified, give the customer a problem, then tell them why this product is so great. But don’t try to sell, let the sales page do that. All you want is click through’s.

Now if you want to fast track your advertising then you have to jump straight into pay-per click. You can use sites such as Google, Yahoo or MSN. But before you run any campaigns, i’d suggest you do a little homework on pay-per click, because if you jump straight in you can lose a lot of money.

Overall this article has explained the different types of traffic sources you can use for affiliate marketing.
