Promoting affiliate website is quite expensive if you have a brand new one and also when the affiliate marketers are on a shoe string marketing budget. Promoting affiliate offers is expensive and also if not done correctly you can burn your hard earned money very soon. Getting a free advertisement for an affiliate marketing website is like a getting a jump start. This free advertisement doesn’t come for free actually I mean you need to put effort to enjoy success with these free promotion strategy.

First you need to find a good affiliate product to offer where you think you can generate unique content. After creating the website and adding affiliate link here are some of the places you can promote your website on a free.

Hubpages - At Hubpages you can create a page for yourself about what ever niche you want to have and can create a number of pages. As an affiliate marketer you can create a separate page of each offer the best things about Hubpages are you can put your affiliate link on these pages along with the offer as well as can drive traffic to your affiliate marketing site, this also helps in search engine optimization since these links from pages you created in Hubpages is relevant.

Squidoo – Squidoo pages works in similar manner like Hubpages where you can create separate pages, can have affiliate links embedded inside these pages also can sell stuffs and eBooks from click bank which is relevant to your niche. Squidoo pages are ranked very well in search engine results this will help you a lot to start of your affiliate marketing even with no money all you need is time and effort.

Craigslist.org is a high traffic site with different categories placing an ad on these pages won’t cost you. If you can create a well converting ad this will help you to get traffic to your affiliate marketing offer site. But this process is time consume because Craigslist pages update on a regular basis so you need to place ads on the site very often but it is worth the effort because of tons of traffic coming through that site.

US Free ads – works similar like Craigslist but the free advertisement has limitation you need to get a subscription to upgrade where you can have more features to your advertisements.

EzineArticles – Marketing online is all about content; EzineArticles accepts well written articles into their several categories. If you can write well informative articles about your affiliate niche in these articles you will get a very good page view but the only draw back is it won’t allow you to have affiliate link embedded into the article. But you have a resource link about the author where you can place up to three URLs you can utilize this opportunity to link to your web page where you are promoting the affiliate offer. It takes time and effort but you get a very good exposure as well as these pages rank very well in search engine results.

Recently I have started getting some email response after I published my post on top pay per click programs, regarding what are the top CPA networks. In today’s post I am planning to give brief overview of the networks with which I work and I think they are the top CPA networks where you can make money very well.

NeverblueADS – This is my favorite networks because most of their campaigns are pretty easy to market and have more pay per lead kind of programs which most affiliate marketers are looking for. They have a pretty good interface with all things put out clearly; I can tell you NeverblueADS have one of the best web usability compared to the other CPA networks.  They have more than 24 categories each filled with so many wonderful offers which you can promote. NeverblueADS allows the following method of promotion email, web and paid search. Payment is once in a month with a minimum of $25 made through PayPal.

AzoogleAds – AzoogleAds started in the year 2000, is one of the fastest growing CPA networks. They have more than 300 good quality campaign offers in their network. Each of them is easy to promote. They have pay per lead, pay per sale and pay per download offers which are quite attractive with the publishers. They have several offers which allow targeting international audience. So if you are international publishers AzoogleAds would be a perfect match. The reporting is real-time and their interface looks like a web 2.0, you can generate several kinds of reports. They have a consolidated payment via check for a minimum of $50.

COPEAC – This CPA networks is quite popular among affiliate marketers. COPEAC offers Cost per Acquisition (CPA), Cost per Sale (CPS) and Cost per click (CPC) offers for its publishers; they have a very large base of advertisers to promote in a wide spectrum of markets. COPEAC have a referral program as well for publishers to refer other affiliate markers and get a 2% commission. Payment is made via check or wire on a monthly basis and a minimum threshold is set at $100.

MaxBounty – allows anyone who has a website to be their publisher to make money by promoting their advertisers offers on a pay for performance basis. MaxBounty is very popular among forums; you can see that if you are active in affiliate marketing forums, you can see several threads based on MaxBounty in these forums. MaxBounty is also one of the most reliable CPA networks which give the highest payment.  The minimum payout is just $50 which is paid each month basis. Allows international publishers to join and also have several international programs for them.

Affiliate Future – This CPA networks offers large number of UK merchants offers. This Network is owned by TMN group a leading direct marketing company in London. They have very good publisher friendly staffs working for them who respond to all your email and questions. Even though they are based in UK international publishers are allowed to join the network. They have a very good number of merchants in their 50 categories, one of the drawback is the same offers are listed in other major Affiliate networks which makes it less attractive for a seasoned affiliate marketer. Payment is made on a monthly basis with a minimum threshold of 20 pounds payments will be made by BACS/Wire transfer on the 2nd week of the following month.

Offersquest – A lesser known network, with around 100 campaign offers.  Some of the minimum requirements for joining this network are that you should have a fully functional website with no under construction pages. This Network allows only English written website which has English content on it. Offersquest doesn’t allow website which is offering incentives for any action by the visitors on the site. Most of the offers with this network are Cost per Lead. Payments are made through PayPal or check with a minimum threshold of $20. They have a real time reporting statistics for publishers.

DirectLeads – is an CPA network having offers from pay per lead to pay per click also it allows you to earn commission through referrals. Since most of the offers are not pay per sale you can see a higher conversion rate compared to the other pay per sale networks. DirectLeads offer excellent banners, buttons and text links for all their merchant offers. They have a cool interface category directory for all the offers. They provide real-time reporting on your commission and referrals. One of the drawbacks with this CPA Network is that the payment is made after 60 days after which you have earned $20.00 which is quite a long time to get your payment. Apart from that this network has potential for any publishers who want to make money.

ModernClick – is a leading provider of performance based direct marketing solution on the web. Getting into this network is quite hard, since they are picky in picking up the affiliates into their network. The have a technology which offers affiliate marketers to most latest and advanced tracking tool which provides accurate and real-time data for all the affiliate marketers’ online campaign. They have also a good fraud protection feature for affiliate marketers to protect their affiliate commission. The minimum threshold is $25 and the pay period is once a month via check or PayPal.

Hydra Networks – This is my second favorite CPA network which I promote. Some of the promotional campaign method with this network are email campaign, search, web and co-registration. Their state of art proprietary program allows giving an excellent tracking data and reporting of your online campaign, so that you can monitor it on a real-time basis. The number of campaigns in this network is more than 500 with cost per click, cost per lead and cost per sale offers. They pay you once in 15 days via check, direct deposit and PayPal.

RocketProfit – is my third largest source of income from CPA networks behind NeverblueADS and Hydra Networks. RocketProfit is one of the fastest growing CPA network with unique and exclusive Cost per lead deals. Recently there was an excellent review at Zac Johnson Affiliate Marketing Blog about RocketProfit. They have several Cost per Lead and Cost per sale offers. The payment method is through check wire transfer and PayPal. The threshold of $25 is the minimum earning you need get for a payment for duration of 15 days payment frequency.
