Squidoo and Hubpages…PR7 and PR6 consecutively. Let’s talk about these Web 2.0 collaborations and see how we can use these to our advantage.

There’s a few points I’d like to make here regarding WP and it’s benefits relating to search engine optimization. From personal experience, I can tell you that these methods will only help you in your affiliate marketing quest.

The #1 problem with trying to get a product visible to surfers is getting traffic. You can buy traffic (expired domain redirects, exchanges, etc.) all day or stumble till you fingers bleed, but chances are, you may not receive converting traffic. Now, you may have some success with PPC programs, but you will need to spend some money! Obviously, we would like to market our products as cheaply as possible.
