If not, start off with PPC, and try that first.

PRWeb is a great resource for news, and you can probably find news relative to your blog no matter what is your niche. If you use WordPress like I do, all you need to do is to fill in the trackback URL provided by PRWeb. This URL can be found in the bottom of a press release (if you can’t find it most likely the press release was purchased at less than $120). But if it is all that you do, and your post or article contains no link to either advertiser’s website or to the press release itself, chances are your trackback will not be approved by the author of a press release. I personally cover all angles and when referencing a particular press release I link to both the press release and advertiser’s website as well as sending a trackback by the provided option in your WordPress. If you do so and see no trackback few days past, e-mail the author or person resposible for the press release pointing out that you were generous with your links and hope that they will approve the trackback. I had a chance to explain to few advertisers and press release authors how the PRWeb trackback works and how each party can benefit from it, and they all agreed that it is indeed a great feature. Now the problem is that some many advertisers after publishing their press releases releases do not pay attention to this feature and visit their PRWeb account only to check on statistics when it comes to "reads", "pickups" and "prints".

I think that in the beginning, the Internet was going to be new, new business models, new ways of doing business. But in reality it is really a new tool, a new communication method, and old world business practices still apply. Integration of the offline and online worlds will really yield the best success for affiliates. Thanks for the compliment on our datafeeds. We try to provide our affiliates with the tools they need to be successful. We just launched coupon feeds as well. Thanks for letting me join in :) Thanks!

I have been big fan of offline promotion in affiliate marketing. I have a business card for every single website I own :) you can do wonders with offline promotions. Thanks for stopping by! I am following closely your site. I whis more merchants could see the benefits of datafeeds. Thanks Jamie,

Affiliates that expand their marketing toolbox beyond ppc marketing are going to continue to perform above expectations. I've been seeing a trend lately that those partners that focus on driving traffic by one method often are at the mercy of that method. Those that diversify (PR, Offline Lists, Email Marketing, Word of Mouth, Viral) often do better and build sustainable, long term businesses. Great post! Great Post!
