However, one thing I've learned. Traffic generation can not only be inexpensive, it can be free, if you know what you are doing. Using the same logic that Don used, you can find keywords that have relatively low competition and increase the search engine rankings of your site for those particular keywords by producing good quality content and generating quality backlinks. For example, on my biology site, I've done a bunch of keyword research and found some keywords that are REALLY GOOD. So what do I do? I try to find ways to increase my rankings for those keywords one step at a time. It takes effort but, in my opinion, it lasts longer. My rankings don't go down when I run out of money in my adwords account because my rankings are based on natural processes. Hope that makes sense and all the best in your pursuits!

However, having been involved in affiliate marketing for over 4 years now, I would add one other key issue that many budding affiliate marketers overlook, yet can ultimately determine their success or failure: Expenses! When I first began affiliate marketing, I simply set up an AdWords account, signed up as an affiliate at ClickBank and Commission Junction, and started campaigns. I choose the obvious keywords (diet, lose weight, mortgage, re-finance, etc.) figuring whatever I would pay Google for the clicks would pale in comparison to what I made in commissions…WOW WAS I WRONG! I got tons of clicks, and paid Google tons of cash, but had very little commissions to show for it. So I stopped all my campaigns, read everything I could get my hands on relating to finding little used, off the beaten path, cheap (yet highly effective) keywords and keyword phrases. After about a month of solid research, I re-started my 6 campaigns, and all 6 were profitable. The key, at least for me, has been using common mis-spellings, and very specific phrases instead of just single keywords (and also those same phrases with mis-spellings included for some of the words). I now pay pennies per click, yet generate plenty of clicks, and while my click through rate is similar to what I generated with the obvious keywords, my costs are about 97% lower, therefore I am able to generate a nice profit. In my experience, I’ve found that many aspiring affiliate marketers are disillusioned and give up after they realize what they owe Google for all those clicks and no commissions. Many give up either before they realize they what they have done wrong (as they just expected the money to fall in to their lap), or because they realize they actually need to work at this; believe me, it’s hard work trying to find a cheap yet effective phrase or word. One other thing people tend to forget about is Yahoo. Everyone is so wrapped up with AdWords and Google, that people tend to forget that Yahoo still has about 40% market share, 2nd only to Google. Yahoo is so under-utilized by the affiliate marketing community, that the keyword prices on Yahoo are dramatically lower than on Google. I’ll just give you one example, recently I found a keyword on Yahoo that was $0.11, vs. $0.26 for the same word on Google – and it put me in the 1st position at Yahoo, while at Google I was at the 4th position. Yahoo affiliate marketing is significantly cheaper than Google affiliate marketing. Also, there is the fact that Yahoo is more affiliate-friendly than Google – Google is always looking for an “excuse” to pull your site off the search results for violating one of their “millions” of rules. Thanks for the fantastic article, Leslie. You’re blogs are always very helpful and insightful. Take care,. Don Great post, Leslie!

I think that’s the one that make all of us (that don’t do it) cringe. I think it makes people opt in to things a lot less than they would because they are afraid of getting spam. I know I don’t enter my email address unless I know for sure it’s something I truly want or need.

A trick I use…
Since I have my own hosting account and can create unlimited email addresses. I will create a specific email address for a new site or product I am getting. For instance, if registering my son for soccer I would use soccer@blahblahblah.com. That way, if I start getting spam or email from other sources to that address then I know the soccer program sold or shared my email address.

It’s great to use for a lot of the free ebooks or optins that everyone is doing.

Giving poor content with no value is like selling a "broken or fake" iPhone. How will the readers buy or even just click your product links if you have no idea or no actual experience on the product that you are selling. Thanks Leslie, it seems to me that you will be the next Yaro Starak. ^_^ I believe number 5 is the greatest failure to most affiliate marketers.
