Introduction
If you have been active in the Internet Marketing arena in the past few months you'veundoubtedly heard aboutTag and Ping.The term was introduced by marketers Sean Wu for his e-course,Tag and Ping, and due tosome spectacular promotion by established marketing gurus, quickly became a common-placeterm.The theory, if you haven't purchased the course, is to use social bookmarking and taggingsites to increase your site's Google PageRank. Sadly, soon after the course came out, nearly allthe social bookmarking sites introduced nofollow tags to their outgoing links, making thePageRank angle less relevant.However, it is still very possible, and very useful, to use some of the same techniques to bringtargeted traffic to your website, and in the case of affiliate marketers, tag and ping can beeffectively used to drive traffic that trickles in from the blogs of other marketers to your ownaffiliate page for the sale.The goal of this report is to demonstrate how you can use the buzz generated by a big productlaunch to generate affiliate sales even if you are a new marketer without a list or high-profilewebsite.Copyright 2006,Wendy Woudstrav. 1.02 July 5, 2006.
