Many people, especially newbies are often confused about effecive ways to promote their products or affiliated products. The fastest but potentially most expensive way for the inexperienced is the pay per click (PPC) way. However, it is not always the most effective way. Writing articles and submitting them to articles directories are just as effective.

If you are new to internet marketing, or a newbie, you may find the hardest part about the whole process is not about finding the right niche market (there are countless), it's not about creating a website (many sites sell you ready made websites, sort of plug and play) and it's not about how to write a killer sales page. It's about the heart of any business: traffic generation.
