One of the barriers facing newcomers to affiliate marketing is how to drive targeted visitors to their chosen merchant’s sales page. With no website and no subscriber list, just how do you get started.

One way, as our guest writer, Yefi Geruni, explains is “PPC direct linking”. You use pay-per-click advertising to send people direct to the merchant’s sales page from your PPC advert. Yefi says:

“Affiliate marketing using PPC direct linking strategy can be a very profitable tool for marketing though the competition is tougher today than before.”

Mind you, knowing the principle of the technique and applying it effectively are two very different things. You can easily throw money down the drain by using PPC ineffectively.

That’s why I’m so enthusiastic about the techniques being taught in the PPC Classroom:
