Affiliate Marketing is one of the best methods of making money online and if you can get a nice stream of traffic to a WordPress blog then the tools available to you are endless for earning money through affiliate marketing. The newest version of WordPress which is WordPress 2.5.1 has the ability to utilize plug-ins that will help you out tremendously when trying to earn money.

Many affiliate networks have specialized plug-ins that you can add to your WordPress blog sidebar and from there you can begin earning money for everything you sell. Ideally you’ll be paid through commission and the higher the commission the better it is for you.

One thing to make sure of though, is that when choosing your affiliate products make sure that you absolutely remember to only choose products that fit your niche. Meaning if you have a sports blog, only promote sports affiliates and not wedding affiliates.

There is a lot money to be made through affiliates and it’s a lot easier when you have WordPress to help you out. There are tons of easy methods to implement affiliate banners and code into your WordPress blogs and it’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to sell products nowadays.

Millions of people use blogging to earn money through affiliates due to the simplicity of the entire process and if you’re looking to earn some money through affiliate marketing then now is the time to do it with WordPress.

Advertising through your WordPress sidebar is the easiest way to ensure that your ads appear on every single page of your blog, and this is the best situation as most of your traffic will come from search engines and land on certain posts rather then your homepage.

If you only have the ad on your homepage then you’re missing a lot of opportunity to further your income. WordPress is great for affiliate marketing as well as ranking in the search engines so you already have many things in your favour when dealing with WordPress and there is a huge chance of earning income with it.     

Social bookmarking has become very well known and many bloggers already understand how they can benefit from the use of social bookmarking sites, but then there are many who are clueless when it comes to finding and understanding the techniques to market there blogs.

One of the best methods to market your blog is through the use of social bookmarking sites which can be found all across the internet, with more then 500 of them now it’s not hard to find a few. Many of them don’t attract much traffic and also don’t have much use which is why most people stress only to use the important ones.

Now I also believe this is true, especially when you’re using your own time. I usually submit to about ten social bookmarking sites after every one of my posts to build backlinks and traffic and it definitely helps. Now if I were to be paying for the social bookmarks then I usually try finding someone who will submit to one hundred of the sites because then I will gain many backlinks in the process.

A lot of the social bookmarking sites offer do-follow backlinks which means they count to the search engines and the page rank juice will push to your domain. This can help increase your page rank and also helps give you backlinks in the search engines. Some of the bookmarking sites don’t offer do-follow links though and instead they give no-follow links which don’t offer any benefit in the search engines.

You’ll still get traffic from these sites though which is why a handful of them have remained popular. Ideally you should submit to a minimum of five social bookmarking sites daily for your blog posts and I would recommend you to use.

StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Propeller, Del.icio.us

These five are among the most popular options for social bookmarking and millions of people use the sites. They rank very well in the search engines and can help you get higher search engine rankings and traffic. With such good benefits for blog owners it’s a surprise to me that not everyone is utilizing the social bookmarking marketing technique. Now I understand it’s time consuming but when you can benefit from higher traffic and more backlinks in the search engines its hard not to use the twenty minutes daily to submit your posts to these wonderful sites.

If you’re looking to achieve a higher amount of traffic to your blog then there aren’t many other superior methods when compared to social bookmarking and you should take the time to get registered with some of the popular sites and start bookmarking your posts. Once you become familiar with the submission process it also becomes a lot quicker for you to be able to submit posts and within a few weeks it will seem routine to submit your posts and you won’t even notice it.
