Hi,
After you have spent a lot of time researching a niche and finding products to promote, you then put a lot of work into designing a nice site. After that, can you just sit back and wait for the money to start rolling in? Unfortunately, that is not the case. You have to start promoting your site in order for visitors to ever start finding it. You can pay for traffic with Google AdWords, or you can learn to get free traffic to affiliate sites. The latter takes a little longer, but it pays off more in the long run.

There are several different methods that you can use to get free traffic to affiliate sites. One of the first things that you should do is utilize video sites like YouTube and DailyMotion. These sites allow you to post videos along with links back to your site. You don't have to make a very fancy video, either. Simply create a very short presentation that gives a useful tip or piece of information. People will want to know more and will visit your site. You can put up as many videos as you like, and if they are good enough, people will share them with your friends, multiplying your efforts and results.

Other ways to get free traffic to affiliate sites include writing articles and posting them to article directories. This is the same concept as creating videos, only instead of making a video of useful information, you write an article with tips and advice about the product you are promoting and any related information. If people like your article, they will follow it back to your site. Other ways to get the word out about your site are to use services like OnlyWire to create bookmarks. Social bookmarks help the search engines to find your site, which will in turn cause them to send more visitors to it.

The last of the main ways to get free traffic to affiliate sites is to continue to create content on your site and build links to it. The more information that you have on your site, and the more keywords that you target, the more traffic you can drive, all without paying any money.
