You need traffic when it comes to Internet Marketing and there are loads of different ways to get it. They all vary in their effectiveness and some of them will give you more on return for you time and investment.

You need to concentrate on the methods that give you more for your time.

One of the best ways to generate traffic and get more for your time and effort is to find JV’s and future affiliates who’ve already done all the hard work prior themselves.

These Potential JV partners would have already built up their own assets such as Squidoo Lenses, Blogs, Membership Sites, huge lists of leads, and have hundreds of articles written.

These people have taken time to do all the hard work and you need to go to these people and utilize their assets. You need to be able to tap into these marketers and offer something of value to take advantage of their assets.

You need to make sure the potential JV’s you select will have access to subscribers who would be interested in your type of market and products.

Use specific search terms such as “Make Money Online” and the top ten results in Google are probably good potentional JV partners as they’ve probably worked really hard to get a decent ranking.

When you find a potentional make sure you check them out and research in to them. You want to check what assets they might have and what type of subscriber they might have.

Do these sites have opt in lists?? (These are the people you are looking for)

Are they reviewing products on the site similar to yours..??

Do the sites have good alexa ranking..??

Do they have good search engine position..??

You need to investigate the site owner and work out if they are making money from their sites and that the sites are active and up to date.

Find the contact info/email and make note of it along with url and comments.
