If I were sent back in time before I began my Internet marketing career, I would have done a lot of things differently. And that is exactly what I will be writing about in this article. I will write about what I have learnt and what every new internet marketer/ affiliate need to know to succeed!

Use a Blog as a Partner to Your Website
My first site took 3 months to get picked up by Google (and also to generate a sale). I started a blog to help promote the site and within a few weeks traffic picked up considerably. For my next site I started the blog first, and posted regularly for 2 weeks while I was working on my site. I uploaded my website, linked to it with the blog, and found it in Google, Yahoo, and MSN within a couple of weeks! I pretty much had "instant traffic" to the new site.

Write Lots of Articles
I have learned that there is a direct and immediate correlation between the number of articles (and frequency of submitting) that you write and the amount of traffic you get on your sites. I have also learned that the more articles you write, the better you get at writing and people start seeing you as an authority on your topic. This results in a lot of great backlinks when others start including their articles on their sites. It also generates even more traffic, because people email your article to others (who hopefully pass it on to even more people).

Develop a Mailing List
This is perhaps the most important lesson I have learned, and I wish I had realized the benefit of a mailing list sooner. I just started using a mailing list/monthly newsletter 45 days ago, and am already seeing sales that are generated from the links in my newsletter. I think this is terrific since my subscriber base is still very small (I average only 3-8 new subscribers each week so far). I use AWeber autoresponder, (recommended by someone on this site I think) which is easy, quick, and has terrific tech support.

Utilize Deep Links Whenever Possible
In the beginning, I always used the link to my index page within articles, forum posts, paid ads, etc... I started using links to inner pages (with appropriate keywords) recently and saw my traffic jump. My logs show visitors entering all over the place now, onto pages that are more targeted toward the exact thing they are looking for.

Hopefully you have picked up and idea or two from this article. Enjoy it!
