Guest Blogging for Traffic - A Guide for Affiliate Marketers

ByMichael Cervantes
In this article, we would like to talk about guest blogging which is becoming more and more popular as a way to bring in additional traffic to your website. Guest blogging has some things in common with article marketing and other forms of content syndication, but there are some important differences that we would like to point out.
Why you should definitely consider guest blogging for traffic generation
Let's face it. When you build your brand-new website, it doesn't have a lot of trust with Google and the other search engines. Although it can eventually get some really good rankings in the search engines and bring in lots of traffic and revenue, it's going to be more difficult in the beginning. This is especially true if you're working in a competitive niche where other affiliate marketers are trying to rank for the same keyword phrases in Google.
Guest blogging can work as a shortcut to bring you traffic and sales much more quickly than you may have thought possible. Instead of waiting for your own website to get more traffic from the search engines, you can take advantage of popular blogs and other websites that will accept your high quality original content.
Now, we're not saying that you should abandon your search engine optimization efforts. We're simply saying that submitting articles to other websites as a guest writer will help to bring in additional traffic to your website. In fact, guest blogging is also a great way to get inbound links from high quality websites, and this in turn will help your own websites to rank better over time, so you're really killing two birds with one stone.
In our introduction, we explained that this process was similar to submitting articles to directories. The main difference, however, is that you are going directly to high quality websites in your niche and offering them unique content. Article directories accept a lot more content from many different writers and are less selective. Article marketing is still valuable, but you will get a lot more benefit if you put your original articles directly on a popular blog or other website within your niche.
Unfortunately, there isn't really an easy way to find all of the websites that would be interested in your content. You simply have to search in Google by entering your keyword phrase along with terms like "guest writer" or "guest blogger" or "submit content". You could also build a large list of websites that rank at the top of Google for a variety of keyword phrases in your industry. You would then simply contact them with a professional e-mail message and offer them high quality, original articles in exchange for a link back to your website.
This isn't the fastest way to get links to your website, and you shouldn't rely on it exclusively. Still, it can be a very powerful method for getting both direct traffic and inbound links to your website over the long-term.

Affiliate Marketing is a great entry point for new starters into the internet information marketing world. You can run this from home, part-time, in your spare time. One of the main benefits is that you don't have to buy or create a product. The Merchant who owns the product you choose to promote will also supply you with plenty of free marketing tools. The start-up costs are minimal and inexpensive as all you will need to buy is an appropriate domain name and some web hosting. You will need a website, usually in the form of a blog, but don't panic as WordPress and Blogger are both free resources and are easy to set up.

When looking for a product to promote choose something that interests you or something you have knowledge of as th...

How To Set Up A Successful Pay-Per-Click Campaign

If you are familiar with Pay-Per-Click ads, then you know that these types of paid search marketing work by putting ads on the side bar of your search engine or web site and are used to bring people to your web site. The concept is pretty simple. You create an ad.You place a price upon its worth.And you submit it to a search engine. When someone clicks on that ad, you are charged a price for it and they end up on your web site. You only have to pay if someone clicks on it. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? But now for the tricky question. Are you getting your money's worth from these ads? Ninety-nine percent of the businesses that use this type of advertising do not understand it. They send people to their home page and don't even know why the person came there in the first place.
