A month into affiliate marketing!

Targeted traffic it is very hard to get to your blog/website. Especially if your new at this and have no idea what you are doing, Like me. I started off posting my blog on Facebook trying to get my friends to come visit. I tried this for about 2 weeks. I got about 100 people to view it sounds good right. "Haha" don't make me laugh. It was horrible not one of them 100 views, from my friends even turned into a follower or a comment on my blog. In the process of asking all my friends on Facebook to come take a peek at my site.
I created a Google plus account, twitter account, I went and hyped up my MySpace. I was working with what I knew how to do. I soon realized I was only annoying all my social networking friends. Yeah they might have came took a peek. However they had no interest in my topic, so when I asked them to come back look refer there friends. I got "dude" were on here to talk to are friends not visit your dumb site. so that's how that worked out for me.
I went with the YouTube video. Trying to get my website noticed! like so many people told me I could. Folks this is only my opinion when I say this. The days of making a YouTube video and having 20000 hits in 6 months for no aparrent reason are over. It seems to me that since the advertizing has got on YouTube and then people realized they could make money with advertizing. It has gotten flooded with videos, on just about everything and then some. So yeah it's really hard to get your video ranked. Especially if you're a new guy starting and Your one month into affiliate marketing. Just like me.
I have been on 500 helpful sites and been at 2000 scams this month. It is just the way the making money online business is. People see that you are trying to find things that work. They take advantage of you, telling you its free then there trying to sell you something. It's just the way it is, in the online money making business. That is exactly why I am making this web site, to help people like myself people like you. The average Joe get a handle on this gig.
traffic exchanges these are the most god offal thing I have ever encountered I started playing around with these. I got plenty of hits but not one out of 300 was targeted traffic. I really think unless you have a nice animated site that starts sound talking about your topic these are a waste of time.

ok enough of that that's talk about some things that do work
-rank on Google.

1)Link referral I found this to be the most helpful free way to get targeted traffic.
2) post in forums, this may seem old fashioned but it does work.
3)invest in expired domain names. You can buy a domain name that's already been a site already has developed targeted web traffic.
4)blog advertizing this is cheap compared to most advertizing on the internet.
5) Google adwords, cash in on your 75 dollar couponed, for this product. You will still have to pay 5 dollars I think it is to set up your account but you get an 80 dollar adword bundle for five dollars. See how it works if it's not for you then just abandon your adwords account.
There I gave you a bunch that I have learned in that last month. Hopefully you can put it to use. If you got any more questions visit my blog I'll be updating in continually.
Have a wonderful day and good luck!

2ed. You have to make a blog or a website maybe even both. Do whatever you are more familiar with> if you are new at this i would recommend A blog because they are more user friendly then a website. but that is my opinion. you pick what you like.

If anyone asked me what my 2 favorite types of free traffic. I would have to tell them they are Squidoo and Linkreferral. They both do me a good service.

i would like to give a big "thank you to both of you" you guys make it possible for me to get real targeted web traffic.

3ed. you have to find some affiliate's that go along with your topic. You can find an affiliate for almost anything. All you have to do is go to the Google search bar. Type whatever topic you want an affiliate for a for, with the word affiliate in front of it. for example say you were making a site about eBay you would look up "affiliate eBay". Almost every respectable large online business has an affiliate program.

4Th. Drive Targeted Traffic. Last on my list but also the hardest to achieve i seen that 70% of webmasters say that this is the hardest part of affiliate marketing. i'm going to give you another link for definition of targeted web traffic. please don't get upset that i just did not make up my own definition. i am putting these links because i don't want to reword it in my own words so i can put it up on my site its said beautify just like it is on the page you will be sent to.
