This is Jeff Mulligan with another issue of CBmall News.
I want to give you some tips on what works and what
doesn't when you are promoting affiliate programs.
I learned this stuff from books I've read, seminars I've
attended, Gurus I've talked to, and most of all, because I've
tested it.

I'll be blunt. For the most part, gimmick traffic doesn't
generate results. It's sort of like when my son, Ryan, eats a
bowl of popcorn. After he's done, he's still hungry. (He's
always hungry:) He didn't really get the results he wanted, even
though he was chewing.

I've tried this gimmick traffic. It was a waste of time.
You can spend hours submitting to free classified ad sites,
adding your link to FFA pages and signing up for
"Guaranteed Hits" programs.

And worst of all, buying so-called "Qualified, opt-in" email
names when they come on a CD or cost $24.95 for 5 million names.
I haven't heard anyone say these tactics work except the people
promoting them. The problem is the quality is just too low.

What good does it do to make your hit counter spin like an Iraqi
Foreign Minister if it doesn't make any sales?

I've talked with a lot of CBmall owners. The ones making
the most money are using proven techniques for affiliate
success. They do not rely on gimmick traffic.

Low quality = Low sales It's an immutable law of marketing.
So what does work? Are there free tactics that are
effective?

You bet. They take a bit of effort, but they can work
wonders. And once your project is done, you can reap
traffic for months or even years.

I'll be talking about several of these in the next few issues.
But here's one now:

One of the best ways is to write reports. It sounds
hard, but there are systemized ways to do this and be
extremely effective.

Once written, you can offer them to people who
visit your site or you can get them on the search engines.

Fact is, techniques like this are what separates internet
marketers from SUCCESSFUL Internet Marketers. It's what
can differentiate you from everyone else.

Let me ask you a question. What works best for you?
Maybe we can trade some ideas...

Yours in success,
