There are some really great reasons to love ClickBank. They really can make things pretty easy for you. But the biggest reason that you should put your business on this site is because of your potential for large amounts of free website traffic. ClickBank will provide free traffic for your business in a couple of different ways, but the biggest way they do this is through the simplicity of their affiliate programs.


So, here’s the deal. I head on over to ClickBank right now and become an affiliate for thousands of different affiliate programs. With a quick search, you can find a number of different products to promote in a number of different target markets. This is a great way to generate some extra income for your business. Every day people are going to ClickBank in order to include affiliate links on their blogs, websites, and in their email marketing. O.K., so here’s some great numbers: With my least popular ClickBank product, I get an average of about 25 visitors per week to my website.


Now, I admit that 25 free visitors per week isn’t something to get to excited about, but keep in mind that these 25 visitors are people who are looking for a profitable affiliate program. If only one of these 25 visitors per week decide to become my affiliate, then that is 1 person per week that has decided to start advertising my website for me!


The trick is that you want as many of your website visitors from ClickBank to decide to become your affiliate, and there are a few simple steps that you can take in order to make this happen. One thing you need to do is to create a pitch page that really stands out. Usually affiliates like to see a really great sales letter. I have spent weeks on just one sales letter trying to make it the most impressive sales copy possible so that normal visitors will be compelled to buy and so that people looking for an affiliate program will have faith that my sales copy will sell, meaning money in their pockets.


There is a rather large correlation on ClickBank with the types of websites that have tons of affiliates and with the types of websites that have zero affiliates. What I like to do is occasionally look at the websites that have zero affiliates in order to try and figure out why nobody wants to participate in their affiliate program. Usually it is pretty easy to see why certain website’s affiliate programs fail. One big thing I see often is websites with very poor graphics. For a few hundred dollars you can easily hire a company to provide you with professional looking graphics for your digital product, for your website banner, and for your sales letter.


The second biggest thing I see is people who try to write a great sales letter but who really have no idea what they are doing. My suggestion here is to get a little bit of training on how to write a good sales letter. This can go a long way and is a skill that you can use for websites that you write in the future. The third biggest thing that I see people do that causes few people to want to join your affiliate program is you offer a very small commission on an unpopular product. The maximum amount of commission that you can offer affiliates through ClickBank is 75%. If nobody has discovered your product yet, then why not give your affiliates the highest commission possible? They are truly doing you a favor by spreading the word about your new product, so they deserve the highest payout that you can give them.


Basically, if you follow fair business practices, make your website appealing, and provide a decent sales message to your website visitors, then many of these affiliates will give your product a chance, and when those affiliates start profiting from your product, then your website will receive large amounts of free traffic and exposure.

If you’re like most marketers on the internet you have been trying for a long time to to learn how to get targeted website traffic to your website. Not only getting traffic to your website, but keeping it constantly coming in on a permanent basis. To get free traffic to your website that comes in on a daily basis every week you need to be able to create loads of one way backlinks that get published all over the internet and show up in several keyword searches all of which lead back to your website.


In order to have this happen you will need to use techniques that allow for you to obtain backlinks to your website on a massive scale. I can show you exactly how to get targeted website traffic using these 3 techniques.


Article Marketing, Video Marketing, and using a program called Site Submit Plus. These 3 techniques are the basis of what I am discussing in the section below.


ARTICLE MARKETING


Article Marketing is a very popular marketing technique that has been used by online marketers for many years. It consists of a written article by an author focused on a particular subject. People write articles for the purpose of giving information to a particular targeted audience concerning a particular topic. The main reason for writing these articles other than informing an audience is the ability to create Author expertise and also the ability given by most article submission sites to include an author biography with a website link listed within the biography.


Once you are done writing your article you will submit it to article submission sites such as Isnare who will take your article and give it to several publishers and article directories. From this point your article will be published as content for the readers of ezines and publications. This technique results in your website being exposed to many people all over the internet who are able to pull up your article in searches. In addition to this your website usually will stay listed on the particular website it was published on which results in the visitors of that website being able to access your article if your subject line interests them. To be able to generate a serious free stream of traffic leading back to your website using article marketing you will have to be consistent in writing articles yourself every month or you can pay a ghost writer to write them for you.


Video Marketing


Video Marketing consists of submitting basic amateur home made videos usually lasting about 3 to 6 minutes to Video submission sites such as YouTube. Video has become a very popular marketing technique due to the emergence of Web 2.0 social networking mediums. Social Networking mediums such as YouTube, FaceBook, Zenzuu command large volumes of traffic. Couple this with the fact that people have been conditioned by television to watch shows and commercials for long hours everyday and you’ve got a great combination. What many marketers are doing today with the ability to access video editing aids such as Windows Movie Maker is they are downloading home made videos from their video cameras or directly on their webcam. Once they download their video, they will normally edit the video and place a short link to their website in the beginning of the video somewhere.


In addition to this they will place a link to their website in their description. After they’ve done this they will submit the video to YouTube or some other video site and make it immediately accessible for the millions of visitors who visit these sites. People search for certain keywords inside the site and they often times are brought to your website where they are exposed to your link! Videos are also very search engine friendly and have been known to indexed in as little as 24 hours in some cases. Like article marketing, there are video submission sites like Tube Mogul that will allow you to submit your video to many video sites with the click of a button. With the large amount of visitors that visit these sites on a daily basis you will be able to receive 100 percent free traffic for life with no more effort. To get the full amount of effect when using video as a marketing tactic you must submit different videos on a regualar basis in my opinion.


SiteSubmitPlus


The more backlinks you have leading back to your site, the higher your search engine ranking. The higher you are in your search engine ranking will increase your chances to get targeted website traffic from people searching for relevant keyword terms in the major search engines. The SiteSubmitPlus company will take your website and submit it to the major search engines every month for an entire year as well as 500,000 directories all for a pretty affordable price. Many people using this service have experienced increased website traffic over time coming directly from the major search engines all on auto-pilot. This kind of service is much better in my opinion than using a reciprocal linking service because you don’t have to put anyones website link on your site to receive traffic.


If you want to get targeted website traffic that comes on a daily basis I would definitely seek to utilize Article Marketing, Video Marketing and SiteSubmitPlus as part of your marketing strategy to achieve the success you are looking for on the internet. These techniques are affordable and will keep you from breaking the bank.

Writing ezine articles is one of the top ways to drive increased traffic to your website. Three of the advantages of using articles in your marketing are: it is effective, it is easy, and it is free. All you need in order to be an author of ezine articles is a reasonable knowledge of spelling and grammar, and a willingness to spend some time writing articles.


To use ezine articles successfully as a means of obtaining free website traffic, you also need to know the right way to use keywords in your articles. An article without relevant keywords or with poor a keyword framework is of limited use as a promotional tool.


Firstly, you need to choose your keywords wisely by picking keywords or phrases that get regular searches but don’t have millions of web pages already in competition for that search term. Secondly, you must know how to use the keywords in your articles.


One thing you have to avoid is what is known as “keyword spamming”. This refers to the practice of over-use of a keyword with the intention of attracting the search engines. How does a search engine determine the author’s intention? As even Google hasn’t yet developed a way of reading minds, the search engines have to rely on mathematical ways of hunting out your secret thoughts. Life for ezine article authors is made a little more complicated by the fact that we are not privy to how these algorithms and mathematical equations work; we have to go on the basis of best guesses.


The current best guess of what the search engines deem to be the appropriate level of keyword density in an article is that it is about 1%. That sounds very low but if you take a 500 word article comprising of four paragraphs, it equates to once per paragraph and once in the title. If you are using a single word, it could seem quite natural to use it more often but, it you are writing around a five word phrase, your article would probably read oddly if the phrase was used more than once in each paragraph. It is far better to use one main key phrase plus a secondary phrase and keep both of them down to a density of no more than 1%.


The best way to employ your keyword is to use it in the title of your article, once in the first and final paragraphs and two or three times in the rest of the body of the article (to be adjusted depending upon the word count). The keyword should be used within the first three or four words of your article title in order to grab human attention and to show the search engines that it is an important word.


Writing in a natural way using carefully selected keywords in the correct density is the key to writing a good ezine article. Of course, you are hoping for some extra free website traffic in return for your efforts, but pleasing the search engines is only part of the puzzle: appealing to human readers should take priority because they are your potential customers.
