Marketing For Affiliate Program?

Whats the best way to market your affiliate program? any specific directories or websites where to submit our program?

Depending on potential, CJ (commission junction) is great, but expensive.

Other than that, if you find out let me know.

Why not just spam every known forum and blog with your link?

The best way I think is to promote your products/website and to have an affiliates section in your website.

HI there,

I think I answered this for you on another forum, but here it is again for readers of this forum that may be interested.

--------------------------------------------------
I do affiliate program promotion for a living so here are some ideas - most are free. Some affiliate forums allow free or paid program announcements you just need to find the ones that do. Search for "affiliate forums" on Google. Some allow a new program announcement and others don't. I mod several affiliate forums and a couple do allow blatant new program ads. Read the rules, some you have to have a certain # of posts, one you have to pay for some don't allow even a sig, it just depends on the forum. My own 5 Star Affiliate forum is one that allows affiliate program announcements - feel free to announce your program there.

Directories wont get you much in terms of affiliates, but you should still get listed in the top dozen or so.

Here are the TOP affiliate directories according to Google, based on popularity.
Submit to the top 12 or 15 here: Google Directory
(#1 is not a directory, #5 is me and my 5 Star directory is not open, it's only for my clients.)

The directories are free - it just takes some time. There are also services that will submit to the top 40 or so directories for a fee.

Targeted PPC ads can work well too.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
