• Article Marketing – An old and favorite tool of many affiliate marketers (and all super affiliates) is article marketing. This is as basic as it gets. Essentially, you write content articles, submit them to directories like EzineArticles or ArticleDashboard. They publish your articles for free, getting the traffic that comes with them (and the ad revenue) and you get a free resource box with a backlink to your site. If other site owners want to republish your article, they can do so if that link remains in place. It’s a simple, easy way to get links and traffic. The goal to article marketing is to provide content that is useful, search engine friendly and that the article directories are going to want to utilize. You’d be surprised how many good backlinks you can get from this simple strategy. • Squidoo or Hub Pages – Very similar to article marketing, you’ll place free content on these hub style sites. Because they are so loaded down with backlinks, interlinking pages, and categories, these sites will often rank very well in Google and are extremely easy to setup. The backlink values will vary, but there is no good reason not to have a Squidoo Lens and Hub Page for every site you create. • AM Automation - This is a tool that helps you link up with more than 10,000 blogs that let you post directly to them in your niche of choice. In short, you can get easy, topic related backlinks without breaking any terms of service and without having to pay through the nose for them. It’s a simple tool that many top affiliates have been using for quite some time now. The difference here is that you’ll need to work on writing “spinnable” articles. This means that every line you write will have three different versions. These versions can then be alternated so that you can have multiple versions of an article spun out to create new content for hundreds of sites. It also works very well for article directory submissions; though you should be wary and check all spun articles in Copyscape to make sure they don’t pop as duplicate copy when submitted to sites like EzineArticles. • Commenting on Blogs and Forums – This is a common enough trick that far too few affiliate marketers use to boost their overall performance rates with backlinks. I have always been a chatty person myself, so it came naturally, but some people are less than thrilled about putting themselves out there to hawk a link. For those of you in that boat, sorry folks – this is just too good of a strategy to ignore. Even if the sites you comment on have “No Follow” tags inserted into them, it’s worth adding your link. In many cases, that link will carry at least some value. I can’t give you exact numbers, and because of how closed Google is about their algorithms, I would only be speculating on what works and what doesn’t, but in my experience, having links from any site is a good thing. 27 Find out How to Stop Hemorrhaging Money and Start Making Bank with AffiloJetpack: http://onlinearnings.com/go/ajetpack
