TRAFFIC BOOSTER ONLINE MARKETING ( TO ANY WEBSITE INCLUDING AFFILIATE WEBSITE.)

To start, we'll begin with the traditional article marketing strategy. While you may think that article marketing is time consuming, I'm about to show you a simple way of getting your affiliate links out there with every article you submit, faster and easier. In order to generate this kind of traffic, we need a system that we can easily follow. We'll begin with 5-10 articles, although you will want to repeat this process with new batches of articles as often as possible. These articles should be unique, so you will want to outsource a batch of articles if possible, or write them yourself. You can always take existing private label article content and spin it, just make sure that the content is readable and that the quality is retained. If you are considering outsourcing the articles, the most affordable method is by going into public forums directly rather than setting up projects with freelance marketplaces. It's also a lot faster as you can purchase pre-written article batches from places like http://forums.digitalpoint.com or www.WarriorForum.com (see WSO section or Warriors For Hire for affordable writers). On Digital Point scroll down until you see the “Buy, Sell or Trade” category and click on the “Content” sub link to access current article packages that are available for purchase. You can easily grab as much unique content as you need at affordable prices just from Digital Point alone. If you need articles that are currently not available within the marketplace, you can post a free thread requesting specific topics. With the Warrior Forum, you can find pre-written article packages in the “Warrior Special Offer” section although the majority of the article packages sold there will be private label content. If you are interested in only unique content, check out the “Warriors For Hire” category to find affordable freelance writers who can create your article packages quicklyYou will need to register for a Warrior Forum account in order to post in the threads or private message potential freelancers. Regardless of how or where you outsource your article content, your articles should always be on par with the type of product you are selling. You want the article content to be very relevant, so that you are able to filter in traffic that is interested in purchasing the products you are promoting. This is very important and for some reason, a large majority of people overlook this entirely, believing that just by submitting a lot of article content regardless of topic, they'll be able to generate leads and essentially sales. It won'tonline, high commission affiliate programs, work at home, online opportunities or affiliate marketing. There are usually many sub topics that will also fit well with your products topic, and you can always include additional articles on any other topic that would tie into your main offer. Think of articles as a way of warming up potential buyers. You want your articles to push buttons and to trigger the RIGHT buyer responses that will instantly funnel readers through your affiliate link onto the merchant's salespage where you will earn commissions. These articles need to PRESELL your readers, to get them so excited about the product that they can't resist but to click on the links featured at the end of your article which will lead them from the article page through your affiliate link to the merchant's salespage (through your author’s resource box as shown below): One great thing about article marketing is that you can easily leverage the content by repurposing it a few different ways. For example, I always submit my articles into the major article directories first but then I also use them to create slideshow presentations, reports, and even videos that can be submitted into the popular video sites like YouTube.com. So once you have your first batch of articles, you can literally fill an entire marketing campaign with the SAME content by using it multiple ways. We'll begin with a single collection of articles. Again, even 10-15 articles are enough to get started. The objective of this guide is to show you how to start making money quickly by generating targeted traffic through your affiliate links, so we only need enough articles to jump-start traffic through your affiliate link. The easiest way to set up article marketing campaigns that will pump in traffic is by first submitting your articles to the major article marketing directories including: www.EzineArticles.com www.Buzzle.com www.SearchWarp.com www.GoArticles.com www.ArticleAlley.com www.Amazines.com www.SearchWarp.com www.ArticleBase.com www.Web-Source.net Now the thing about ArticleAlley and EzineArticles is that many autoblogging scripts out there will pull content from both of these article directories. This means that your chances of having an article reprinted across hundreds of blogs and websites is very high if you submit content to these two directories first. Imagine having your article content reprinted on thousands of relevant websites! It wouldn't take a lot of articles to drive in an unstoppable amount of traffic from very little work. You submit your articles once and they continue to travel all over the Internet each time a webmaster publishes your content. With reprinted content the publisher MUST keep your Author Resource Box intact. This means that the links contained within your resource box will be included with every article that is republished, driving in tons of back links to your affiliate link! You should always post your content on Ezine Articles first as they require that all content be original in order to beNow, the most important aspect to every successful article marketing campaign is in defining your keywords. You need to make sure that each article is highly optimized for the most relevant keywords relating to the product you are promoting, in this case, our Fast Track Cash product. Here are a few keywords that fit our product perfectly: Fast Track Cash Fast Track Cash Reviews Fast Track Cash Opportunity High Commission Payouts High Commission Affiliate Programs Fast Cash Affiliate Programs Make money online with Fast Track Cash Work At Home with Fast Track Cash You can optimize your articles a number of different ways, including: 1) Integrating keywords into the title of the article 2) Integrating keywords into the body of your article content 3) Using anchor text in your external links When it comes to integrating keywords into the article titles, you want to make sure that it's readable and makes sense to your readers but will also attract the major search engines as well. One easy way to write articles that incorporate keywords is by using the format of "Top 10 Methods For XXXXX". Using our product as an example, my article title could be "Top 5 Methods Of Generating Fast Commissions", with "fast commissions" being the keyword we are trying to optimize our content around. Just the same, you could create an article that offers a review of our product, titling it as Fast Track Cash Review" which would optimize your article for the keyword Fast Track Cash Review, which not only targets the correct audience BUT you will drive in potential buyers on the verge of already purchasing the Fast Track Cash product but needing a bit more information before making their decision to buy! You also want to weave keywords into the content itself, again ensuring that it makes sense to readers and it's stuffed so much with keywords that it doesn't make sense to anyone but the search engines. This is important because essentially, while you want your articles to rank within the search engines in order to suck in commission payments from visitors directed to the articles and funnelled through your links, if a visitor lands on your article and it's so poorly written and confusing with an overload of keywords, they aren't going to convert that traffic into sales. So always integrate keywords into both your article titles and content but use sparingly. If you aren't sure what your articles should be about or what titles to use, a quick and easy way to conduct market research is by visiting Yahoo! Answers at http://Answers.Yahoo.com Next, type in your main keyword phrase, for example "How to make money in affiliate marketing", and what you will discover is that within all of the Yahoo! Answer categories there are countless questions that are being asked. This is a great, fast way of coming up with both article titles and overall structure, because all you have to do is answer questions that are already being asked within the community, based on your niche markets. When writing an article on affiliate marketing, you could provide readers with a quick tutorial on how to get started and then highlight the Fast Track Cash program as being one of the highest commission offers available. Then, include your affiliate link and you're good to go! You can also find topics for your articles by just spending time going through the different articles already showcased in categories on the main article directories. You can browse through the most popular articles in order to see what kinds of titles they are using that are generating the most exposure and then model your own articles after those that are already proven to be successful. There are a number of other ways to choose the best article titles that will generate the most exposure, including by visiting http://www.ehow.com where you can type in your keywords, search for existing content and create a swipe file of potential titles that you could use with your own articles. Another incredibly useful resource is found at http://www.Digg.com where you can find extremely hot topics and titles. Just by browsing through their open conversations and recent threads you will be able to get a good idea of what the market is currently interested in and willing to buy. And yet a final resource that I personally use to come up with compelling article titles as well as the actual content of my articles is by visiting http://www.About.com a community driven content network that will help you quickly write articles based on existing questions being asked within the community. When you write articles based on questions that are currently being asked, you are guaranteeing that your articles will be read as they are addressing the VERY questions that people want to find the answers to. The headline of your article is the most critical part in developing successful article marketing campaigns. You absolutely need a winning headline (title) that will compel people to click on your article and read your content. This means that you need to make sure that your primary keywords are integrated into your article titles but you also need to make sure that your articles are going to capture attention, either by creating curiosity, promise a benefit of some kind, or ask a question that targets your audience so that they quickly click on your link and read your article. When it comes to the actual length of your articles, I recommend sticking with 300-400 word articles. You don't want your articles to be too lengthy but detailed enough to pre-sell your reader and motivate them to click your affiliate link and make the purchase. In fact, the shorter the article the faster they will move from the article through your affiliate link, but you do want to make sure that you provide enough information, and focus your articles so that they are highly informative, so that even though they are short, they do the job of pre-selling your readers! Cloaking Your Affiliate Links When it comes to your Author Resource box, this is where the magic happens and it's important to use both straight links with anchor text. Anchor text is when you use keywords to create your link rather than displaying the URL itself. For example, anchor text for our Fast Track Cash product could appear like this within your resource box: Grab your copy of Fast Track Cash! You can create anchor text within your Author Resource Boxes by using the following HTML code: Click here to sign-up for Fast Track Cash. The text that appears between the HTML brackets above (Fast Track Cash) is what will appear as a link within your Authors Resource Box, and you can change this easily just by editing the text and the link contained within the first bracket! Just the same, you can cloak your affiliate link to avoid your links being removed by readers, and show the entire link within your author resource box like this: Grab your copy of Fast Track Cash at http://www.Your-Affiliate- Link.com Cloaking your affiliate links is very important for a number of reasons. Not only will it eliminate lost profits by people removing your affiliate ID from the link prior to purchasing (known as affiliate hijacking), but it also makes your links more user-friendly and attractive which will increase your overall click through rate dramatically. Cloaked links also are better optimized for the search engines as they don't appear to be promotional links but rather regular website links. For example, a regular affiliate link through ClickBank would look like this: http://xxxx.fasttrackc.hop.clickbank.net Once cloaked, you can customize your affiliate link to look however you like, including showcasing your own domain name, like this: http://www.Your-Website.com/Recommends/Fast-Track-Cash or http://www.Your-Website.com/Fast-Track-Cash Here's how to do it: Step 1: Determine how you want your affiliate link to look For example, do you want your link to include a specific keyword such as http://www.your-site.com/Recommends or http://www.your-site.com/Reviews and so on. Step 2: Using your favourite FTP program, connect to your website’s FTP server. In your base web site directory, you’ll need to create a new directory to store all of your cloaked affiliate link files. In my example, the new directory I created was called “recommends”. This is what enables the cloaked affiliate link format I decided upon. Step 3: Create your cloaked affiliate link file in a text editor like Notepad, cut-and-paste the following code: Replace YOUR_AFFILIATE_LINK_URL_HERE with the actual affiliate link for your product. Save the file using a filename to represent the product you’re advertising. Step 4: Upload your cloaked affiliate link file Again using your FTP program, upload your newly cloaked affiliate link file into the new folder you just created. And you’re done! Another tip worth mentioning is that you should use a customized link that is different for each article that you are submitting. That way, it serves as a tracking link and will make it easier for you to determine what articles are producing the best results. You can simply set up a variety of sub directories with different names and include them within each article. The majority of article directories will provide you with useful stats as well that will help you keep a pulse on your article marketing and determine whether any articles need to be tweaked or better optimized in order to improve results, so use this information to your advantage and keep on top of every article campaign you set up.
