How to Generate Free Traffic For Affiliate Marketing

In order to be successful with online marketing you need to have the following:

- Targeted Traffic
- Lead Capture Pages
- Affiliate Websites
- Follow-Up Messages
- Back-End Offers

Now to be honest the hardest part of the system above is the Targeted Traffic. Now allot of Online Marketers do use Google AdWords or other Pay-Per Click methods but that can be very costly! Plus at the end of the day the chances are you will have paid more for the traffic than the revenue you receive from sales!

So the best way to make of profit is to generate high quality targeted traffic for free. Can this be done? The answer is 'Yes'.

The way to generate free traffic is to submit good articles to Article Directories that Search Engines love! When submitting articles make sure you target Keyword phrases that are used a fair bit for online searches. Here is a list of the Article Directories that Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN love:

- EzineArticles
- SearchWarp
- GoArticles
- New Free Articles

By submitting a good article to the above sites that has good content and is rich with applicable Keyword Phrases could easily get you a Top 10 Placement on the main Search Engines easily! Now it might take a couple of weeks to get placed but heh it's FREE!

Another method to get Free traffic is by setting up a Blog on WordPress, and a Lens on Squidoo. Both of these sites are loved by Google and will generate good traffic. A tiny bit more work, but well worth the effort. They are FREE...and anyone can get started here with NO cash! I also have a Blog on Blogger.com which of course is owned by Google. Your Blog will get indexed very quickly by Google so having links on your Blog to your other sites will get them indexed as well!

Another method is submitting ads on USFreeAds as Google likes this site as well. Now you can join for free but you will get better results for the small fee of $9.95 per month. You can place allot of ads on USFreeAds, and to get the ads higher positions on the Search Engines all you have to do is put a link for the ad in your Articles! Starting to get the picture now!

There are lots of other ways to generate Free Targeted traffic but the above methods I feel are the best and are where you should concentrate for getting traffic. If you submit good quality articles rich with applicable keywords you will find allot of good traffic visiting your site. The above methods do take some time but little if no money required. By not having to pay allot of money for traffic will increase your profit margins greatly!
