I’m starting an amazon affiliated website that sells electronics, what are the best paid and free ways to advertise? What has worked for you in the past? Can you please list them, and i would like as many free ideas as possible to get started.
For Free Traffic:
1. Open an ezinearticles.com account (it is free). Write and publish articles about your market on a regular basis. Ezinearticles com gets a lot of traffic and the article pages rank good in the search engines. Be sure to put a link to you site in the author resource box but not in the article itself.
2. Bookmark/list/link-to your site at as many of the popular places you can find: Digg, StimpleUpon, delicious.com, diigo.com, facebook, twitter, etc
3. Submit your site to 50 - 100 free directories. You probably don’t want to do this yourself as it takes a long time. Use a service that does it manually. I like Directory Maximizer. For about $7 bucks they will do 50 or so. The Yahoo Directory is good and carries a lot of weight in the search engines but it may be too expensive to start with.
4. Participate in forums with a link to your site in your forum signature.
5. Make good comments on blogs about your market where you can enter your website.
6. If your site has a page that answers a specific question here at yahoo answers, answer the question with your site as the source.
Be sure to participate with good relevant information and not spam.
All of this will add up to search engine rankings and traffic.
Good Luck
