Hey there. It's 5AM here and I am just about to head off to my day job. I am running behind in assigning tasks to my VA for the Niche Site Duel. In fact, we have done very little to work on the site since we put it up. The one exception is that one VA is still rewriting the articles on the site (a few every day). There is no real strategy there -- just trying not to spend too much money on the site all at once.
Most of the traffic on the site is probably coming from people like you who are reading about the duel and then directly typing in the URL. So, don't be too impressed by the traffic stats below. However, I will show the traffic so you can get a sense of what is going on.

What is interesting is that I am starting to see some traffic from organic search (but just a trickle).

Boy, that is a mouth full.
As an affiliate marketer, one of the things that you need to be able to do is write good pre-sales copy with great SEO properties. This is hard to do sometimes, but it can make or break your affiliate campaigns when you are counting on search engine traffic. It's so important (and so misunderstood -- especially by beginners), I felt like we should talk about it here.
I was discussing this with my friend Karon Thackston, and she could not agree more. Now make no mistake, Karon is a famous SEO copywriter. If you know anything about Karon, you understand that she's been writing high-ranking and converting copy for clients including Gorton's Seafood and the American Boating Association for over 25 years. I talked Karon into offering a free hour-long teleclass on SEO copywriting exclusively for you (people on my list).
