Amazon Traffic Type:

Amazon offers some unique promotional opportunities.
Here is one well-kept secret of many information publishers: exploitation of
the book reviews feature.
All they do is write a thoughtful and intelligent review. Then, somewhere in the
(appropriate place) of the copy, they drop a mention of their url.
The easiest and least obnoxious way of doing this is by employing
'credibility' statement. For example:
“As a long-time publisher enthusiast, (“The Green Thumb's Guide to Perfect publisher”
www.goodpublisher.com), I thought I knew everything there is to know about
publishing...”
If you encounter any trouble from Amazon's editorial staff about the insertion
of your web link, you can still get away with dropping the title. This should be
enough to allow interested readers to find you in the search engines, provided
you've been indexed and/or you're running a PPC campaign on your title
keywords.
An even better option (and one not subject to editorial review) is to fill out a
profile for your Amazon member name, paying special attention to the portion
to include your reading list. This is referred to on site as “So, you'd like to...”
You can link to your own products with impunity there.
The next step: find some titles of interest to your niche market and, on the
main information page, add your member profile to the “So, you'd like to...”
recommendations group.
This will pull your profile in under the “So, you'd like to..” section of the page.
When visitors click your profile, they'll be taken straight to your recommended
reading list.

Alexa Traffic Type

Not a traffic powerhouse, but worth a look if you're involved in internet
marketing as a niche.
Traffic generated via Alexa will come from the Alexa Toolbar. The Alexa
Toolbar sits within the browser and provides information on each visited site.
Our interest here is the “related links” feature. Website owners manually list
their urls with Alexa. Part of the listing process includes the option of
specifying “related links” to other sites similar to your own.
But here's the trick:
you can visit Alexa as an anonymous user and look up data on any site you
want, and you can specify links you believe should be added to that site's
“related links” information.
This allows you to associate your url with that of, say, a higher traffic site in
your niche – which may be owned by a jv partner or a competitor.
Provided there aren't dozens of other urls already specified in the related links
database for a given site, visitors who have the Alexa Toolbar installed should
see your link listed as a related site.

Blogs Traffic Type:

You don't have a 'blog' yet? What are you waiting for?
Blogs (short for 'weblogs') aren't just online diaries for teenagers. While it's
true that the youth market was the first to popularize this technology, more
and more businesses have caught on to the value of blogs as dynamic
content management tools.
A blog can be used to post announcements, updates, articles and more.
A large number of marketers use blogs as:
1. An additional newsletter format
2. A branding and relationship building tool
You can post your usual articles on a blog if you like, but there's also a better
option: using the blog to write on an even more personal and detailed level.
You can use your to blog to reach out to your subscribers.
Offer them your personal opinions on the latest traffic tactics, or a new
information product. Give them a 'sneak' peak into the average day in the life
of an internet marketer.
Anything you would like to share with your subscribers, but normally don't due
to space limitations in your newsletter, can go onto a blog. This includes any
links, affiliate or otherwise, to which you'd like to direct traffic.
In fact, using your personal opinions is a terrific way to get others interested in
seeing your site just by reading what you are writing in your blog.
Unlike most business oriented sites, blogs allow for personality. And people
like connecting with other people, even if it is mostly anonymous through the
internet.
Again, you need to capture the interest of your blog readers in such a manner
that they want to see what else it is you're doing online, a la your web site.
Whether they are upset about what you wrote, or really excited by it, both
types of people will take a chance and travel on over to your main site, or
wherever it is you are re-directing them.

It's an easy way to generate money without having to write adverts or have products to promote.

Although you can use Adsense with any web page, there are a lot of factors in making a successful Adsense site, such as choosing good keywords around which to base the content and getting links to your site to build your search engine ranking

Google Paid Listings

Still by far the most popular search engine, Google also runs PPC ads for top "sponsored links" and side boxes via their Adwords program.

Google search free listing

If you aren't ranked well in Google for organic (free) listings as yet, this is most likely the engine you want to focus on. Google supplies secondary data to a number of other search engines/indices and sites including the mega-social networking site - MySpace.

To add your web site to Google for their free listings; use this page:

http://www.google.com/addurl.html

Yahoo Search Marketing sponsored search Previously known as Overture, it's one of the heavyweights of the pay per click industry. This model requires that you bid on keywords for ranking and at times the competition can become quite insane - some advertisers go overboard. As an example, I recently reported that on the word "computer", the no.1 advertiser had bid US$10 for the privilege. The number 2 position was held by an advertiser prepared to pay US$.77 per click. It's a huge difference.

Coupled with the fact that not everyone who clicks on the link will purchase, it can become an extraordinarily expensive marketing exercise. The COA (Cost of Acquisition) tied in with each sale may not viable for the some small online businesses, unless you are selling high profit items. The minimum bid starts at 10 cents per click.

This doesn't mean to say PPC is not a viable option - many merchants use it very successfully. If you're new to PPC, you'll want some practice and Yahoo offers new account holders some freebies - sign up and get a $25 credit.
Yahoo paid listing (directory):

US$299.00 non-refundable, recurring annual fee for commercial site in their directory. Adult sites will be charged US$600. Community, non-profit sites can still get a free listing.

http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/

Note: Yahoo has two separate aspects to their search, the Directory and Web Search. Sites included in their web directories will also show up in Yahoo Web Search.
Yahoo search free listingTo submit your site for free (but you'll need a Yahoo email account):

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

MSN free listing:Up until early November 2004, MSN results were powered by Inktomi - which is owned by Yahoo. As you can imagine, this would have made Microsoft rather uncomfortable, so they are now using their own home-grown search technology.

Free submission form:

http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx

MSN paid listings Another option for listing on MSN Search is as a "sponsored listing" (Pay Per Click) via MSN AdCenter. It will cost you $5 to sign up and bidding starts at 5c per click.AltaVista:Up until early April 2004, Alta Vista, which was acquired by Yahoo!, operated as a separate entity in terms of search results.

The era has ended, and now to be listed in Alta Vista, you only need to submit to Yahoo!; either through their free URL submission service or via Yahoo Search Marketing. Yahoo Search Marketing are currently offering a $25 credit.
DMOZ:Still a strong community of independent editors, free listings, but you are only listed once in most cases and having your listing updated can take a long time. Considering that DMOZ supplies data to hundreds of search engines/indices and sites, including Google, it's absolutely essential to be listed here.

I cannot stress this enough - be sure to read the submission guidelines. DMOZ editors are constantly hammered with garbage submissions.http://www.dmoz.org AllTheWeb (FAST):As with Alta Vista; now using Yahoo! results. In order to be listed, you can choose from Yahoo!'s free URL submission service or the premium service via Yahoo Search Marketing.

There are many other paid and free listing search engines around, but you're really best off concentrating on the big 3 - Google, Yahoo and MSN search respectively and DMOZ for a directory listing.
