How to drive traffic to Your CPA Offers
First I would do some keyword research using Google Adwords free keyword research tool;
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Once I have a list of keyword phrases I would write 2-3 articles per
promotion and submit them first to EzineArticles.com, then once they are approved and published, I would add these articles to other free article directories.
I told you I will talk a little more about the benefits of getting your own domain name, so here it is. Many article directories will not allow you to add affiliate links in the article, adding your domain name is acceptable. It also looks better in the eyes of the readers. This is why I suggest getting your own domain name.
“I assume you already know about keyword research and article marketing.
Forum Marketing.
If you are an active member on forums, it would be a good idea to add a link into your signature. Something like “Get a Free Sample of Gatorade, Click Here”. If you sign up to a forum and start spamming your links all over it –you will be banned and kicked out very quickly. However, if you just have the link in your signature and actually participate in the forum discussions and add value to the forum – it’ll be okay and you will start getting clicks on your link, leads and well – the money.

Social Networking.
Social Networking and Web 2.0 have grown a big deal in the past 2 years or so. Everyone is on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace... Using these sites are great ways to get traffic to CPA offers. The audience is usually young and attracted by such offers.
Also you must submit your link to DIGG.com and StumbleUpon – these sites have huge amounts of people browsing them every day – so make sure you grab a piece of that traffic and monetize on it. Once again, try to be discrete, if you try to submit your site many times or if you create multiple accounts – chances are, you will get banned. Be careful, act like a human.

Youtube Traffic.
Youtube is most likely the MOST popular website online, if it isn’t – it is one of the most popular and gets millions of daily visits, you can get some of these visitors as well.
If you use a PC you can use Windows Movie Maker to create a simple slide show with some images and text about your offer and then tell people to visit your site.
If you use a MAC, I believe they have a software called iMovie - you can make your “video” with it. I believe both, PCs and MACs come with these programs already installed on them.
So, you make a 30 seconds – 2 minute long videos about the offer. Then you need to create a compelling title for the video. Usually titles like: “How to Get Samples of Gatorade for FREE” will do just fine. Make sure to use you main keyword phrase in the title, description and tags of the video.
At the end of the video you MUST tell people to go to your site in order to get the free sample, free business cards or whatever else you are promoting.

You can also use a microphone and speak while the images are displayed, Here is an example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjts91phW1Q
I do not personally like it because the guy sounds boring and personally I would never jump on his free offer – but you get the point. You can also have a live link right next to your Youtube video. I honestly cannot believe how many people do not use this! You see, many viewers will be too lazy to type the link you provide in the video so what we need to do is provide a link they could click on.
You can do this by typing the link into the description field when you are uploading the video. Make sure to type the full link using the http:// format. If you do not put the http:// in front of your link, it will not be clickable. Also, the link should be the FIRST thing in the description – only then write the rest of the text... Look at the example video I provided above, at least this guy did this the right way:

Viral Marketing.
Yet another great way to get LOADS of free traffic. What is “VIRAL MARKETING” and how does it work?
Here is the definition from Wikipedia: “Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in
brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet. Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, eBooks, brandable software, images, or even text messages.” Basically it means you need to create something that people will gladly pass on for free! Let’s say a very funny video – people love funny videos. Just look on YouTube, the most viewed videos with millions of views are usually comedy related. People send the links to the video by e-mail to all of their friends and family, they post it on their Facebook profile and so on – it never ends.
It could be very hard to come up with a funny video or an e-book that will go viral, but you can use whatever is already available to you! I’d give you an example.
A few days ago I received an e-mail titled “5 Dumbest People on Video” I was sure compelled to see it, so I did... there was a link to this FREE blog:
http://dumbestpeople.blogspot.com/ very funny videos indeed! The same day I received 2 more e-mails about it from other friends, and then I saw the link on Facebook and other social networking sites. Whoever created that blog simply found 5 really funny videos from YouTube and compiled them in one place... also notice the CPA offers (banners) on that blog. I know the banner on the side payout $30 per lead... of course I forwarded the e-mail to all my friends as well; because the videos are great and I am sure my friends enjoyed a good laugh.
As You can see going viral is not too hard and could bring in thousands if not millions of visitors for free, of course you will get clicks on those CPA banners and you will make money.
I hope you found this guide useful and I suggest you get started right away! The money is waiting for you!
