Are You a High Traffic Site

If you are an affiliate or are thinking of becoming an
affiliate in an affiliate program you probably have seen some
statistics like these in the affiliate sign-up information:

"Low traffic sites can earn $500 - $1,000 per month, medium
traffic sites can earn $1,000 to $2,000 per month and high
traffic sites can earn $3,000 + per month."

Wow!! Sounds pretty good.

>From one affiliate program it seems you could be making over
$3,000 a month just because you're a high traffic site.

Are you a high, medium or low traffic site? Who knows,
different people have different views about what is high or low
traffic.

You probably figure you are a medium traffic site or a low
traffic site at the absolute worst.

So just by joining this fantastic affiliate program you'll be
earning at least $500 a month and more likely somewhere between
$1,000 and $2,000 a month.

Gee, if you find another couple of affiliate programs like this
you'll be banking in excess of $100,000 a year. Yippee!!

Man, lets go for it. Lets sign up NOW!

But what they did not tell you (and it's not really their
obligation to tell you either) is that these statistics only
apply to the affiliates that are marketing their affiliate
programs every day.

This is the standard procedure for the average affiliate:

Stick a couple of banners on their site. Wait a few weeks.
No sales come. Join another affiliate program. Stick these
banners on their site. Wait a few more weeks. No sales! Then
they sit back and think affiliate programs are a joke.

But it's not the affiliate program. It's the affiliate.

If you use the right marketing methods that are working now,
and spend many hours a week marketing your affiliate programs
then you can be part of the 'statistics'.

But if you expect things to just magically happen with a couple
of flashing banners on your site then you will be sorely
disappointed.

Do not just assume these enticing statistics apply to all
affiliates. Sadly, they do not. Affiliate programs are not the
Holy Grail, but they are an excellent way to obtain a decent
monthly check.

The most amazing statistic is that it is estimated that 90% of
all affiliates earn little or no money at all from affiliate
programs.

Now that's a statistic you do not want to be part of!!
