Hey guys!
Just wondering...
Would you do PPC marketing for affiliate sites, or go straight into free traffic?
Love and Thanks,

I recommend you start with free search engine traffic. That way, you can make lots of mistakes and still earn a good living. If you make lots of mistakes with PPC traffic, you starve. _________________ Allan Gardyne

True, but what about while you're waiting for the free traffic to pick up?
Some people like to drive a little PPC just to see results instantly. You will also have the added benefit of being able to track the effectiveness of certain pages before the free traffic kicks in.
But remember that PPC won't "run itself" in the way that free traffic will.
Cheers,

Oh, absolutely! You can use PPC traffic to tweak and test new pages to quickly improve your click-throughs and conversion ratios.
So even if you spend $100 and earn only $50 you've gained useful information that can make your investment worth while in the long run when your free traffic is converting better than it would have without the testing. _________________ Allan Gardyne
