Hello today I want to talk about paid or natural traffic, which one is better for Affiliate Marketing? The short answer is natural traffic.

A big reason people go out of business is they spend themselves out of business. I'm a big believer in using your profits in affiliate marketing to re-invest back into your business.

If you have made no money in affiliate marketing, I think it's better to focus on free traffic first.

You want to put yourself in profit as cheapily as you can. Natural traffic I feel is much better because you can build a relationship with someone and this is what marketing truly is.

When it comes to natural traffic, video is king – followed by audio and lastly is the written word.

Lately, I've been experimenting a lot more with paid traffic. I do want to share just a few tips that I feel is very valuable when it comes to paid traffic.

With paid traffic your basically trying to spend $1 to make $2. If the math works out and it's on auto pilot then you should be trying to spend as many $1 bills as you can right?

The first tip I want to share I learned well over 10 years ago when I used to buy leads to sale products over the telephone. We would go to lead brokers and buy targeted leads. The same thing applies to the Internet.

All links stink. I'm going to say it again, because it's so important, “all leads stink.” In fact, they stink very badly.

Sure, whoever is selling the lead will tell you it's the best lead ever, but it sucks.

Knowing they stink, how much do you want to pay for that lead? Exactly, the lowest amount you can. It's a really good mindset you get into.

Another point is paid traffic should not be a gamble. It should be a 99% chance your going to make money with it, so it's a no brainer.

This means you have to track everything and make sure the math works in your favor, with room for error.

If you test and the math works out that there is a 50/50 chance your will make money, that is not good. I would encourage you to try some different things.

The third tip and this has to do with a lot of different paid traffic sources that I've been playing with is the company your doing business with doesn't care about you.

Yea, there in business to make themselves money right?

The default settings of a lot of paid traffic sources, you should look at carefully.

I'll give you an example in Google Adwords and the same with Bing ads the default settings is other networks that is not even search advertising.

This brings up the next tip. You want search traffic. Search traffic is king because it's pulling people. You don't want push traffic.

They are already interested in the topic they are searching, that is what you want.

I hope these tips might help you in some small way. Have you ever experimented with paid traffic in affiliate marketing?
