When choosing traffic sources as a CPA affiliate marketer it is important to make sure the offer or advertiser accepts that type of traffic. When you look at the offer details in your CPA network it tells you the certain types of traffic that are allowed. For example, Search, Social Media, Banner, Contextual, Mobile or email etc…
Thousands of affiliates every day struggle with this one key ingredient to successful online marketing - finding “targeted traffic in high numbers” that make CPA networks and advertisers happy so that everyone gets paid in the end.
In CPA affiliate marketing the one thing that separates the real big players from the pack is the ability to send high quality targeted traffic to any CPA offer. If you need some ideas for traffic sources based on category here is a great starting point.

PPC search and content network traffic – affiliate friendly and can be very affordable with as low as $25 to start.

#15. Banner Garage

If you don’t have your own email list you can buy solo ads.
#18. Fiver Solo Ads
If you don’t have a list and you want to explore setting up solo ads Fiverr is a good place to practice but the traffic quality may be terrible. Sometimes however you can find some decent solo ads. This is for practice only and not a big money-maker based on time spent in my opinion. But if you have a very small budget you can start here.
#19. Solo Ads Warrior Forum
Sometimes you can find good solo ads on the warrior forum especially in the JV section or classifieds section on the forum. Just do a search and you will find several people selling solo ads. Make sure you check around for reviews and try a quality test first if you can.
#20. Online Solo Ad Directories
you can search around for solo ad directories and reviews and find hundreds of places to get solo ads. Click the link above for an example.
Contextual
#21. Traffic Vance
Often named as the best PPV traffic source by many affiliates. I have had some good experience with them. They do require $1000 minimum and references to apply.
#22. Lead Impact
Easier to get started and approved, and requires only $100 to start.
#23. Media Traffic
Another great source and it requires around $250 to get started.
#24. Clicksor
I have never used this source for traffic but I hear some good things so I thought I would add this to the list.
Well hopefully this short list will give you some great ideas for traffic sources and help you get started in any traffic category.
I have another list available too but it is much longer. The list was given to me from someone else and is circulating around the internet. The only problem with having an extremely long list of traffic sources is that it can be a hinderance for some people because it is too big. With too many choices to choose from it often results in confusion and a lack of focus. It’s like trying to pick the perfect chocolate bar to eat when there are hundreds of options to choose from…:)
My advice is to choose a category first like “ppc, social media, or banners” then focus on the individual traffic sources within each category and get good at some of those. To upscale just use more individual sources within that category. This will result in a much more focused approach to CPA affiliate marketing and ultimately more profits.
