Default Newbie looking for some advice

Hello,
My name is Adam Portnoy, and i have recently made a website for affiliate marketing. I was wondering what the single best way to get traffic to your site is and if "pop-unders," were of any use or worth the price.

Thanks Adam

Default Thanks Lawree

Larwee i appreciate the quick reply. I have looked at this thread previously, and i believe i have solid content on my site. However, i put the site up two days ago, and really have no idea where to go from there. I have submitted to Adwords and am waiting for response, but where should i go to post blogs and forums threads for traffic. Are "pop unders" worth it? Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated

-adam

Hi Adam,

Welcome to 5 Star. Buying traffic like pop-unders is almost always a waste of money. Check out that thread Larwee linked to for some better traffic ideas.

I have a posting in the thread mentioned by Larwee. The thread talks elaborately about the tools for generating traffic on a web site. Only solid content cannot divert traffic to your site. You have to use other tools also such as article submission, forum postings etc. For more information visit the thread sincerely.

You should look into Press Releases. If you pay a bit of money they get picked up the search engines and you can leave comments on other people's blogs too.

Hi there Thoth. My only advise would be to advertise and promote your site MORE. PPC, SEO, Banners, Targeted backlinks, etc. and some free ways social bookmarking, classified postings, forum participation, etc.

There are lots of variations on every aspect of IM. It is very important that you explore every possible way to see what is viable for your niche

Thoth, there are lots of traffic generation methods but not all these methods will work for you.

You have to start testing these methods to see those that give you better results.

Keep in mind that what works for others maybe doesn't work for you and vice versa, for this reason you have to test.

Thanks,
PV Reymond

I think pop up under are as intrusive as pup ups be careful because you don't want your members to get sick of the pup ops.
