Affiliate Marketing - Super Affiliate Strategies You Need to Know
By Shane Connolly

A budding super affiliate, needs to become an excellent planner. Today's super affiliates have learned to control costs involved in promoting other peoples products. Thousands of merchants provide excellent affiliate resources for their affiliates, but this is not always enough. Through trial and error, super affiliates devise ingenious ways to squeeze as much profit from each sale they make. However, learning these techniques takes time and a lot of testing.

The aim of most super affiliates is to attract as much 'Targeted Traffic' as possible and turn this traffic into buying customers. 'Targeted Traffic' includes internet visitors who have an interest in the product or service you promote. They are more likely to buy your products than general internet visitors.

Methods for generating targeted traffic include:

• Google AdWords and other Pay Per Click (PPC) services



• Forum marketing Video sharing such as YouTube



• Creating viral products



• Blogs



• Article marketing



• Web 2.0 websites



• Advertising in any other places where potential customers hang out!

Paid advertising such as Pay Per Click (PPC) is expensive. If you get it wrong it can be disastrous. Top affiliates find free and cheap methods to advertise and generate internet traffic. This results in a higher return on investment (ROI). Whether they spend a high amount on advertising, or nothing at all to get the sale, they will receive the same affiliate commission for each sale. To make higher profits they need to sell more, decrease the cost involved in each sale, or a combination of both.

The nature of the internet means super affiliates leave a digital trail of what they do. It's just a matter of identifying what they do, how they do it and testing the process yourself.

To your success,
