I found this awesome thread by Mack at WebmasterWorld.com. In a very simple manner, it explains why should people market their sites, how to optimize pages, how to use Press Releases and find good web directories to get links from.

If you are a newbie affiliate or having problems getting traffic to your site, I strongly suggest you read it. Is located here

I try to read anything I can get my hands on, you never know what bits of wisdom you can pick up even when you think you know something already ;)

It's true. I learned just about everything I know about affiliate marketing from forums, articles and even sales letters. There's a lot of great information out there if you're willing to take the time to find it.

Im still a newbe.But Im hoping to get answers to these questions
(1)....what link companies can I trust?
(2)....What companies should i stay away from if I go with Google Absence
(3)....Traffic generators are they all bull #@$#.I like the idea of TRAFFIC SWARM has any one tried them?
(4)....Will Googel optimize my sit when i join.
(5)....What web site would trust to help you market your site?
So far I haven't made a mistake because I have be able to see all the grate posts.

fitzpatrick welcome to the Forum. Here are the answers to your questions based on the #s in your post.

1.
If your talking about Affiliate programs try these: cj.com,linkshare.com,shareasale.com,reporting.net, kolimbo.com,affiliatefuel.com

2. If you try google adsense I wouldn't stay away from the ones I selected and Independent programs. The more programs (the more links) the better.

3. Stay away from traffic Generators! all they will do is get you banned from search engines and or usless untargeted traffic.

4. Google will not optimize your site, you have to learn how to do that on your own.

5. the only sites I would trust is my own sites, and search engines and some link exchanges with similar Page rank on google toolbar.

Mommy I meet a kid at school....can he come over to eat dinner? Who is this new friend?Jason....he's helping me with my new homework assignment ."Shure"...........Jason's my new best friend.

Thank you I appreciate your help and in the future I will repay you. ;)

How does one person get the website they are making into a search engine?

Hello johnson48, welcome to RS Forums. You will get your site into search engines automatically by the search engine bots(scripts) if your page is well optimized for the search engines. Meaning you have keywords in your text and you have those same keywords in the title tag and links from other pages. For more information about Search Engine omptimization is below.
