Everybody knows that the key to increased earnings for any business is a high volume of traffic. The problem is finding out how to gain enough traffic to increase your sales. Most affiliate marketers post their links on blogs, social networking sites, traffic exchanges, and classified ads. That's fine, but by doing that, you become just another fish in the marketing pond. In other words, you're competing with everyone else who is promoting the same or similar products as you. That basically means that your earnings will be minimal.
