There are many ways to get targeted traffic to your sites but my preferred method (and the method that I strongly recommend) is the method where you do not have a fee for every single visitor your website gets (such is the case with Google AdWords.)
What I mean is that I spend my time building links for my high quality content sites which include landing pages designed for high conversion rates. These pages usually link to an affiliate program like this Clickbank diet affiliate program.
I increase my search engine rankings by building these links which leads to extremely targeted traffic that turns into affiliate commissions at a high rate.
My main way of link building for higher search rankings (and thus more targeted traffic which means more ClickBank sales!) is through article distribution services and among the best of these services is Article Ranks.
With ArticleRanks each of my articles (each of which contain three links) goes out to so many different blogs that I can build up hundreds of links with each article put in the system.
The big key to getting the most out of such a service is to ensure that your landing pages are focusing on the right keywords and that you are linking back to your landing pages with the right keywords.
You will probably have the most success going after “long tail” keywords rather than going for huge keywords. Instead of shooting for just plain “diet” or “lose weight” you should go for phrases such as “easy weight loss.”
One awesome feature of Article Ranks is that you can very easily embed a YouTube video with each submission. This lets you get a lot of links to the video page so that it can rank in the search engines and bring more traffic to your landing pages (you should include a link to your website in the description of the video.)
This link to YouTube does not count as one of the three links, so when you include a video you are actually able to include a total of four links instead of three.
