5. USE THE POWER OF VIRAL MARKETING The basic principle of viral marketing is that you combine good information that is likely to get passed around with a short marketing message that offers your affiliate link to reader for consideration. As your information gets passed around Internet, so does attached ad that promotes your affiliate link.

Successful affiliates use articles to accomplish viral marketing effect. By giving ezine editors and publishers reprint rights to your articles, you allow them to provide quality information to their readers. And by publishing your articles, they are giving your affiliate links exposure to perhaps 1000's of readers, sometimes as many as 100,000 readers at a time!

This is something that I'm just now starting to take advantage of. If you've been on my Effortless Power mailing list for a while, you may have noticed that I'm starting to include a section informing ezine editors and website owners that they have option to publish my articles as long as they retain my resource box intact. This puts power of viral marketing to use in my business.

When you do same thing, you immediately increase profits that you earn from each and every promotion you create for your affiliate promotions.

6. CONTINUE TO LEARN AND GROW YOUR PROSPERITY I've only touched upon incredible diversity that exists in affiliate marketing. For most part, earning money as an affiliate is tied directly to marketing products that you represent, but without responsibility of creating a product or running a website.

For example, when I went overseas for a month last year, I turned off all my Google advertising while I was away. (That was in days before I had fine-tuned my advertising campaigns. Nowadays, I would just leave ads running, knowing that they would make me money in my absence :-))

You can control where ads appear in world. For example, at time of Australian election last October, one of my clients had an election-related Web site, so we ran some Google ads - but only for Australian Internet users.

You can get even more specific with geography. For example, I can run ads for events that I'm conducting in Sydney, and only show those ads to people in and around Sydney.

You can run two ads side by side and find out which is more responsive. Then you delete weaker ad and replace it with a third ad that you pit against stronger ad. Keep doing this until you find ad that gets best results.

Google tells you exactly which words and phrases people used when searching. For example, when we did advertising for election campaign, we found that "Australian election" had 50% more searches than "federal election"; and "liberal party" had three times as many searches as "labor party"!

--- With all these benefits, why would you ever go for free listings? ---

I hope I've convinced you by now that Google AdWords is best way to get traffic from search engines.

But what about free listings?

Actually, I'm NOT suggesting that you give up idea of getting a free listing in Google. There are definitely advantages to these listings.

What I am saying is that you should go for paid listings first - to test your market, refine your ad copy and improve your marketing. Then put your efforts into free listings if you choose.
