I wanted to make a thread where we could share some ideas on ways programs could increase their traffic/sales/affiliate bases at no (or low) cost to themselves for those of you wanting to launch your own affiliate programs over the next few months.

I know there are a ton of things you folks who already have sponsor programs do so how would ya feel about sharing the love for those just starting out in this area of the industry?

Here are a couple of obvious things new program owners can do to increase their program awareness in the industry right off the bat...

1) Have a 'resource' page and submit your site to as many of the larger webmaster resources as possible.

2) If you have galleries, submit them/your program to some of the FHG directories such as sponsorgalleries.com, fhglists.com etc.

What are some other methods you program owners currently use to broaden your reach to potential affiliates?

Regards,

Lee
