advice on traffic and what makes a good affilate program

[ronnie]

Your affilate program should be closed until you know what your doing. Do you know how the paysite converts? How it retains? You should'nt open a affiliate program until you have tested the site throughly to make sure it sells and keeps members, otherwise you could be wasting other webmasters hard earned traffic and in the end getting a bad rep for your program. Not giving you a hard time, just something to think about.

As for promoting your paysite, usually you keep the paysite clean of traffic leaks and use feeders to bring in the traffic. Feeders could be free sites, avs sites or tgp galleries that advertise your paysite. I personally would'nt be spending money on adwords until you know the site sells and retains, could be wasting alot of cash.
