Most Google affiliates know that the real secret for success for any site is hidden it it's ability to attract targeted traffic. Targeted traffic will tend to stay much longer at a site and everybody knows that the longer a visitor stays at your site, the higher the chances that they'll end up buying something from you or at least clicking on one of your Google affiliate ads.

This is one of the reasons why traffic from search engines is especially valuable to many Google affiliate sites. Because a keyword that is closely linked to the subject matter of your site has been used, a vast majority of the traffic that finds its' way to your site via a search engine will be highly targeted.

But there is one more underutilized tool that is very effective at both generating traffic and also improving your search engine positioning dramatically. I am talking about those links within the text of articles. Apart from being one way links that search engines place great value on, these text links are also very effective at generating even more targeted traffic to your Google affiliate sites.

Use Text Links In Your Google Affiliate Articles

If you usually distribute articles to article directories and ezines as a way of generating traffic to you Google affiliate sites, then just make sure that you use the right keywords within them as live links leading to your site.

The secret behind why links are so effective can be traced to the fact that folks hate and greatly despise being advertised to online. That is why banner ads don't work too well. It is also the reason why the tiny textual Google affiliate ads have been so effective. They don't look like ads, especially when they are made to look like the other text and content on the site. They are even more irresistible when they are highly relevant to the content of the site.

Text links within articles look even less like ads. Their effectiveness can be maximized by getting a good low cost online writer to write your content for you. The keywords that are made live are usually part and parcel of the article and will also be very relevant to the subject matter at hand. Most people who read the article are bound to click on the text links. In fact they are much more likely to click on the text links within the Google affiliate article than on any links that they will find in your resource box at the end of the article. Everybody knows that the resource box is the writers of the article advertising themselves and this quite often causes most readers to get defensive when they get to the resource box. In sharp contrast your Google affiliate site readers will come across a text link with an open mind.

Remember That Your Google affiliate Keyword Is Very Important

The keywords used in links pointing at your Google affiliate site are given a lot of weight by search engines. This means that you should select the keywords to use very carefully indeed.
