5. Sign up for an account with Stumbleupon.com, by signing up for stumbleupon you can create a public profile where you can share your website with other stumbleupon members. You can also view other memebers sites and leave reviews and more.

6. Include your links in all email correspondence and anywhere you have a digital conversation.

7.Update your site on a regular basis. One of the biggest mistakes a lot of affiliate marketers do is build a static site that just goes stale. Search engines like sites that are updated often and have content added on a regular basis.

8. Write articles, yep thats right you can write your own articles and submit them to article sites such as goarticles.com, articlecity.com and more. Do not just write 1 article you want to flood the article sites with at least 10-15 articles a week.

9. Have RSS feeds. RSS feeds are basically a feed that your visitors can subscribe to, this will let your visitors know when your site is updated and of any important news. This is also a great marketing tool that you can use to let your subscribers know of new products etc.. RSS feeds may seem scary but they are not and can be easily generated and used if you have the right tools.

10. The last step is don’t stop. Thats right do not stop working at generating traffic, if you stop your efforts your traffic will drop. A lot of first time marketers make the mistake of working for a couple of weeks then they stop. They fail and then they never try again. You can be great, you can get the traffic you need it just takes a lot dedication, work and persistence.
