Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Okay so I work for some programmers working on a website, not sure if I should post it but I will. Its called rufflesraffles.com. Its a great system and so far we have had almost 5,000 hits and already sent out prizes we hoped that winners would spread the word but it seems like they just keep it a secret. I am part of the marketing team and I have searched for a million and a half ways to increase traffic with no luck. We have a meeting with some investors and advertisers next week and we are supposed to have a substantially increasing public…I have five accounts on Facebook and I have had no luck there I post have naked women on YouTube and get like a million hits but noone visits the website on the girls boob and I have even tried selling stuff on craigslist all over the country stating I won it on ruffles Raffles. I am tired and out of ideas! I have tried mass email marketing which sucks because it usually just gets filtered into spam folder I have even tried paying for Google ads its just the benefits don’t outweigh the harm(costs $1.25 per click on the ad and raffle entries cost $1 and some are free but make us a dollar so we wold lose $.25 advertising with Google, same story with Facebook a little less with MySpace but MySpace is dead for what they charge). I want someone to offer help, legitimate ideas, I am begging you, I could potentially loose my job :-/ please don’t answer it takes time…please don’t…I know its true but not true too, I created a blog about hacking a PSP a while back when I was in high-school, its been 3 years and that website has only had 1,390 visitors half of which were probably me.

My online income strategy begun with the creation of two personal blogs. One of the will be focused to my professional degree in the field of studies: industrial engineering and technical consulting. The other blog is now oriented mostly to provide tourism and worldwide travel, focused on luxury and even budget travelers. My last blog called www.Reportame.com is having about 30 000 articles in several niche markets but there are more articles about tourism. I have both affiliate and basic email marketing running right now. In this moment I am looking for joint venture partners in Costa Rica, but are very hard to find. Most people, even professionals are alergic to create online businesses. Knowing the risks of being an pioneer, I am hoping to get ideas from the most visited websites in my country, but my blogs are more oriented to provide solutions to any English speaking people. What do you recommend to get ahead of any competition and have a better return over my investment?
