There are many ways to drive free traffic to your website but not everybody knows about every method and many of them go underused by webmasters, bloggers and affiliate marketers simply because they don't know about them! SlideShare is a perfect example of a site that is excellent for driving and sending free traffic to your site, products, services and offers and for many other reasons!
You can use SlideShare for many reasons such as:
1. Yes! You could do that and that's a very good idea as well because then you can just focus on doing what works best on that site and that's adding lots of new slides the same way as you would add posts to your own site or blog. It's just that everyone's got blogs anyway they use but treating it like that like you would your site will definitely pay off for you the more you stick at it. Some people have been smashing it on SlideShare by being consistent and learning as they go. But it's just like any other Web 2.0 social media site or blog in that you want to regularly keep posting new slides to it and coming up with ever more better ones that go on to be popular and rank high for years to come.
2. It depends, for the first couple of slides or the last one or two maybe but it's better to keep them out of the actual main presentation slides. Most good slides are made of of the beginning pages like the cover and introduction and then the main pages with the content and one or two ending pages which would contain your contact details, logo, site links, social media links. But you can put a hyperlinked in some of your main slides as well if there's cause for it and you make it look natural and valuable.
3. That really all depends on several factors that come down to how much your reader wants or needs what your slideshare presents to them and whether it's presented in a way that makes them want to click and visit your site or links in the presentation. Some slideshare presentations have been ranking high for many years and go on to send the owners many clicks and traffic. How much converts also depends on what they see at the other end as well. That's why you have to use call to actions and make sure your main domain at least is made prominently known to them.
4. Yes probably most definitely. Definitely maybe at least. I mean, SlideShare's users are more clued up and savvy, information filled, business minded and orientated users. They're interested in business related things. If your presentation is appealing and presses all the right buttons, then there is no reason why they wouldn't sign up to you if that was what they're looking for and that does happen too. But it all comes down to the slides themselves and how well it's put together and how much it makes them want to click and sign up. That's the good thing about SlideShare is that you can get really creative and come up with all sorts of ways of appealing to peoples emotions. With each new slide they see, you can beat them down a little bit more until you've covered many objections people usually have and they are basically like putty in your hands at the end of it. :)

I hear you Lynne! Fortunately, SlideShare is a place where you CAN post affiliate marketing offers etc. Provided you present it in a way that is [b]informational[/b]. Like, if your presentations have more than 2 slides! The [b]minimum[/b] slides each presentation wants to have is around 10 else it's not really worth being a slideshow! Provided your presentations are professional looking and informative in nature and have a fair old good amount of slides and it's a somewhat informative slideshow then there's no reason why you should face any such treatment by SlideShare's users. Actually their user base has a bit more of a grownup mentality and isn't like Reddit in that respect as if they don't like it they just won't say anything on it usually.
The best thing to do Lynne, is to search SlideShare for the same things you want to market/promote sale on there. Find similar presentations and look at what they are look, how they have done it. You will see some of them have been there for years. Then you can use them for ideas and inspiration as to what your presentations you add to it can look like, what you can do and that.
Don't worry, you'll be fine and will do really well on there I'm sure if you stick at it! :)

Great Lynne! Looking forward to seeing your presentation! Although don't feel like you have to show me. Just have some fun! That's what it's all about. Just having fun with it. Your first presentation isn't probably going to be the most amazing presentation ever. But that's fine! Just keep it short and sweet and have fun with it and from that you'll learn and be able to make bigger and better presentations until eventually, you'll be a SlideShare pro and dominating it on there for your niche! :)

You're welcome Lynne! That's what it's all about for me. Opening new avenues to people they can go down and use to their advantage. And you can have a lot of fun on SlideShare as well whether it's just making the slides which can be a ton of fun, or viewing other peoples slides! But it's always much more fun when you're actually getting something out of it as well. I hope to see your slides in the future but I'll definitely be devoting more of my time to SlideShare marketing for the purpose of gaining some SEOClerks affiliates as well. I was playing around with Google Slides last night. Or [url=https://docs.google.com/presentation/u/0/][b]Google Presentations[/b][/url] and you can create some presentations very easily which you can then download and upload to SlideShare and share wherever else you want to as well, on your site/blog, on your social media pages and other sites like SlideShare too. Definitely check it it! :)

But yes I have been thinking how this will really add some great value to my websites. I will be joining SlideShare as soon as I get back home and I look forward to figuring it all out. Like I said there is always something new and exciting being recommended but I don't have spare time to join everything but this looks like a great fit for my websites!
Hey Mike. Thanks for these additional tips. I have never ever made slides before or a presentation so I will have to figure that out, or maybe I should get someone here to prepare some for me to get me started :) But yes I have been thinking how this will really add some great value to my websites. I will be joining SlideShare as soon as I get back home and I look forward to figuring it all out.

Awesome MasterA! If your slides are really good they can go on and get you traffic for many years thus increasing your SERP in time from that perspective. But you the more you have the better of course. :)

I do have a few questions for you, if you'd like to answer them
Thanks IdealMike
- Razzy I've been thinking about getting into slideshare marketing but it's been on the back burner for a while now since I've been swamped with work. I do have a few questions for you, if you'd like to answer them :) [list=1][*]Obviously there's a way to optimize your slideshare presentations so that you can rank for long tailed keywords, and possibly shorter keywords if you're lucky. My questions is do you think it would be possible to publish a slideshare presentation and then treat it like your own website and build links to it like it was your homepage in order to rank for those difficult keywords? I've done stuff like that in the past, but the pages I would post on gave me a dofollow backlink that flowed down to my site.[/*][*]After a certain amount of time, or posts, can you add a link in your description to wherever you want as long as it's not porn, gambling, or hateful material? I know a lot of people will see a URL that isn't clickable and just gloss over it, but if it's a hyperlink there's more of a chance that you'll get a click through to your website :D[/*][*]What kind of click throughs have you heard about when posting a successful presentation on slideshare? Lets say I get a popular presentation going and I have 100,000 views on it. What is the likely hood of someone clicking through, or copying/pasting my URL into their browser, and coming to my website?[/*][*]How well do slideshare presentations convert into sales? I see that slideshare is owned by LinkedIn, and I know the majority of people on slideshare are business owners, but do they sign up? I sell a service for $500+, do you think I could get a few sales by using my marketing knowledge?[/*][/list] Thanks IdealMike :) - Razzy
