Hello, awesome affiliate marketers! Welcome to my series on SmartLinks – your secret weapon for turning clicks into hard cash. We’ve already talked about what smartlinks are, how they work, how to choose the best ones and how to place them on your site, as well as how to optimize campaigns using TDS trackers like AdsBridge.
Now let’s get to the hardest part, but no less interesting: smartlinks promotion! Getting traffic from these links is the crux of the game, and I’ve learned some interesting tricks along the way. When I started promoting smartlinks, my income increased to $3,000 per month through a combination of SEO, social media, email and more. In this guide, I’ll share every strategy I’ve used to drive high-quality traffic to smartlinks, along with real examples, numbers, and tips to help you rock your bank. Let’s get started!
Why SmartLinks Promotion is Your Ticket to Success
Before we get to the most important part, let’s talk about why smartlinks promotion is a real tough guy’s game. These bad boys are pros at matching the perfect offers to your users, but they won’t do anything without traffic. That’s absolutely true. The more targeted users you direct to them, the more clicks and conversions you’ll get – and the fatter your wallet will be.
When I started out, I thought smartlinks would pull in visitors on its own. But no! It took quite a bit of trial and error, but once I cracked the code, my clicks increased by 20% and the commissions started flowing in. Whether you’re targeting traffic from the US, Brazil, UK, Canada or Australia, these tricks will help attract the right audience to your smartlinks.
SEO: Free Traffic is a Goldmine for SmartLinks Promotion
SEO is my bread and butter for attracting consistent, quality traffic to smartlinks, and it’s free! Organic traffic sticks around longer and often converts better than paid traffic. Here’s how I do it to promote smartlinks, step by step:
Choose the right keywords: It all starts with finding what your audience is looking for. I use free tools like Google Keyword Planner and AnswerThePublic to find gems. For smartlinks, I choose long-tail keywords with low competition and high volume. Check out these:
- “smartlinks promotion for affiliate marketing” (1,200 searches per month, low competition)
- “how to promote smartlinks for more affiliate money” (800 search queries per month, medium competition)
- “best ways to promote affiliate tools for beginners” (1,500 search queries per month, medium competition). They can attract 300-500 targeted visitors per month, and with a conversion rate of 5% and a price of $50 per conversion, you’ll earn between $750 and $1,250 in revenue
Create killer content: By getting keywords, I create content that ranks and converts. Here’s what works for SmartLinks promotion:
- Guides: I put a post on my website called “How to Skyrocket Your Affiliate Earnings with SmartLinks Promotion” by adding iMonetizeIt smartlinks. It is now on the first page for “SmartLinks promotion in affiliate marketing” and attracts 200 visits per month, turning into 10 clicks and $50 in commissions
- Testimonials: My “Top 5 SmartLinks for Cryptocurrency Affiliates” under /tag/crypto/ with smartlinks brought 150 visits, 8 clicks and $60. That’s a hit among cryptocurrencies
- Comparison posts, “Promoting SmartLinks vs. conventional links: Which will win?” garnered 100 visits, 5 clicks and $45, helping readers make up their minds. The trick? Give value first, then insert smartlinks where they naturally fit
Technical SEO tricks: In order for my content to rank, I follow the following techniques:
- Headlines and meta descriptions: My post about cryptocurrencies has an H1 title like “Top 5 SmartLinks for Cryptocurrency Affiliates” and the meta description is “Learn the best SmartLinks promotion tips for cryptocurrency affiliate marketing to increase your income”
- Internal links: I place links from pages like /tag/traffic/ to my smartlinks posts, which boosts SEO juice and directs users to more interesting content
- Alt-text for images: For smartlinks banner, I use alt-text like “Crypto Affiliate SmartLinks Promotion Banner” to increase the SEO potential of the image
- Backlinks: I guest post on sites like Authority Hacker with backlinks to my smartlinks content, which boosts my rankings
In-depth content wins: Google loves content that answers questions thoroughly. That’s why my posts, like this one, are packed with details, statistics (for example, 70% of affiliate sales are mobile), examples, and tips. This attracts readers and increases clicks and conversions.
Social Media: Increasing Engagement to Promote SmartLinks
Social media is a treasure trove of information for affiliate marketers, especially for young people in high-income countries like the US and UK. Here’s how I promote smartlinks:
- TikTok: TikTok is my jam for quick and fun videos. I made a 30-second video called “How I made $100 with one SmartLink!” in which I shared my cryptocurrency winnings, with a link to smartlinks in my bio (no links in the posts, unfortunately). It garnered 2,000 views, 50 clicks, and $150 in commissions. I do it quickly, using hooks like “Want to make money online? Try this!”
- Instagram: Instagram Stories are my secret weapon. I posted a “Swipe Up” story (need 10,000 followers) with the words “Check out the best affiliate tools for your area!” with an iMonetizeIt smart link. It racked up 500 views, 20 clicks, and $10. Statistically, 49% of users buy from authority posts, so I partner with micro-influencers to spread the word
- Reddit and Quora: These places are a veritable treasure trove of traffic for answering questions and pulling smartlinks. On r/affiliatemarketing, I answered the question “How do I monetize traffic?” with a killer answer and smartlinks to my guide, getting 300 views, 15 clicks, and $250. On Quora, I answered the question “What are SmartLinks in affiliate marketing?” with a 500-word article with SmartLinks and got 100 clicks and $5 for the month. The trick? Offer value, ask follow-up questions, engage in conversation, and then drop the link
- Pinterest: Don’t sleep on Pinterest – it’s great for visual niches like health or e-commerce. I tagged my post “Top 5 SmartLinks for Cryptocurrency Affiliates” with nifty graphics and smartlinks in the description. It got 1,000 impressions, 30 clicks, and $200. Pinterest users are often ready to buy, making it a great source of traffic
Email Marketing: Building Trust and Increasing the Effectiveness of SmartLinks Promotion
Email marketing is a powerful tool for affiliates – according to industry statistics, 66% of us get better results with it. Here’s my take on it:
- Split your list: I split my mailing list by region (US vs. Europe) and interest (cryptocurrency vs. dating) to keep smartlinks relevant. The US-only cryptocurrency smartlinks email had a 6% click-through rate
- Make your emails awesome: My emails solve problems first. I sent out a “Discover the best affiliate tools for your area!” email to 500 subscribers with an iMonetizeIt smartlinks, resulting in 30 clicks, 3 conversions, and $50. I always add a compelling CTA, such as “Click to check out the best deals!”
- Automate like a boss: I use the free Aweber tool for auto-sequencing. After someone joins at https://onlinemm.org, they get a welcome series with smartlinks. This has brought 50 clicks and $150 in a month with no extra work
Video Content: Hook Them With YouTube to Promote SmartLinks
Video converts 49% better than text, claims Hostinger, and YouTube is my playground. Here’s how I do it:
- Make videos that help: I released a video called “How SmartLinks Increased My Affiliate Earnings by 30%” talking about my cryptocurrency campaign. The SmartLinks link in the description garnered 1,500 views, 60 clicks, and $30. Tutorials, reviews, and case studies are my top recommendations
- Optimize for search: I supply titles, descriptions, and tags with keywords. My video is found in searches for “SmartLinks promotion tutorial affiliate marketing”, attracting steady traffic. The attached commentary from SmartLinks makes it easy to find
- A CTA that works: I end the video with a shout out “Click the link below to try SmartLinks!” – this increases clicks by 2%
Paid advertising: Expand the Scope of SmartLinks Promotion
Paid advertising can accelerate your traffic, especially in difficult markets. Here’s my approach:
- Native advertising (Taboola/Outbrain): I spent $50 on Taboola to promote my post “Top 5 SmartLinks for Cryptocurrency Affiliates.” It racked up 200 clicks, 10 conversions, and $75, leaving me with $45 in profit. Native advertising blends in with ads, so it doesn’t feel intrusive
- Social media advertising: I ran ads on TikTok for the same post, targeting the US and Canada. The $30 budget resulted in 150 clicks, 7 conversions, and $35. TikTok ads are inexpensive and hit young audiences well

Other Promotion Channels
