There are several ways that you can build an affiliate marketing web site and get traffic to it also, it's simply a matter of learning what to do and putting it into motion. How you go about building your website is going to be based upon your personal knowledge and skill level. There are different methods of building an affiliate website that you can choose from such as Dreamweaver, Frontpage, Blogs or other html editors. You don't need to know a lot of html by using an html editor, however, I do recommend that you learn at least some html basics. This will save you a lot of grief down the road, especially if you outsource your website building to someone else and then want to make a small change to the site down the road. If you know a bit of html then you can just take care of the update yourself, otherwise you're at someone elses mercy.

Another thing that you'll need to consider that is VERY important on your affiliate marketing web site is the written copy. There is a right way and a wrong way to write website copy and it's very important that you either learn to do this yourself or hire someone else to do it for you that has a lot of experience in this area. You see, the words and appearance oof your website are going to be two major factors of whether people buy from you or not. Would you take the recommendation of a website that had an ugly color scheme and didn't provide you with the product information that you were looking for? I highly doubt it and neither will your visitors. Make your affiliate marketing web site look professional, only put things on each page that are relevent to the topic and make it easy to navigate.

If you're not sure how to go about buildinf a professional looking affiliate marketing web site or have no idea about website copy or search engine optimization, these are all things that you can hire out and have others do for you. It's not cheap, but sometimes it's best to pay for things and get your affiliate marketing web site done right the first time so you can start making money.
