    hi all,

    i have recently launched a website called fatherchristmasletter.co.uk and am now stuck

    in the steep learning curve of eccomerce marketing, i need some help but ill come to

    that in a moment, here's what im doing so far to try and get traffic
    • registetred with twitter, tweeting twice daily
    • started a blog, Postin every day
    • seo on site is not too bad, google page 1, listed no.4 within 2 weeks of being launched, top of yahoo, but only for father christmas letter, other key words need to be addressed and im working on this one as we speak.
    • site map going on in next day or so

    is there anything else im missing from above what is a no-brainer for you guys?

    Here's my problem, i want to get onto the voucher code websites, but none of them

    have a telephone number to call.....thats weird to me..lol..whats the best way of

    getting touch with them, is there a one stop shop like a link site for them?

    the reason i want to get onto these sites is that i believe it will drive a lot of traffic to

    the site, do they usually charge for listing you?

    Also, how do i recruit affiliates if i wanted to go down this road, what tracking software

    is best for me to us? i am a total newbie to affiliate marketing, so please excuse my

    ignorance.

    i really appreciate any honest & reliable help you may give.

    Welcome to the forum.
    We operate several code sites and instead of charging for a listing (which some sites do) we offer a free page where you can pitch your product, add, edit and remove codes and all we ask in return is an inbound link to our site.
    If you, or anyone other merchants, would like to take us up on this offer drop me a PM and I'll give you the link to a form where you can set your page up.
    Good luck with the site, it looks great, you've covered the basics, you now need to attract more incoming links from authority sites - we have a page ranking well for christmas gift ideas, perhaps we can do something mutually beneficial link-wise with that too.

    Try contacting magazines, websites, newspapers and giving them a free letter for a giveaway in exchange for some coverage.

    hello everyone

    thank you for your help and advice, much appreciated.i have now joined webgains

    affiliate program. talking with a national newspaper for a readership offer, they are

    provisionally interested, so hopefully things will work out. The affiliate program is

    going to be very interesting for me as i think it will be a main driver for traffic to the

    site. Would you guys know any precentages of people buying per uniqye visitors...ie:

    1000 visitors = 10 per cent sales.....or am i asking 'how long is a piece of string'?

    Once again many thanks, ive learnt a lot in a few days

    Hello welcome to the forum, I think forum members have already given answer to your question, you can go for press relesae also. I am not sure about how much traffic it will bring to your site but you can try that. Good luck :tup

    I'll bet he wasn't even the real Santa Clause either?

    I guess the the Universes really is a meaningless vacuum after all, (yes, that includes Cardiff)?
