screensaver + e-books - how do you get traffic to your screensavers or e-books?

The e-books and screensavers are given away or sold via media such as websites, e-mail, bundled with other downloads or software CDs, e-book or software directories, auction sites, online classifieds, etc
The e-books and screensavers contain multiple links to websites. People click those links and that generates traffic. It is a VERY widely used strategy and is VERY effective.

sales inside membership areas - not a traffic source

It is a traffic source for the sites that are receiving referrals from the membership areas. If you send one of my sites traffic from your membership area, it is a prime source of well-qualified credit card holding traffic.

A major basis of the anti-competition law suit against Microsoft was that they were integrating a browser with their OS and using that to refer traffic to Microsoft owned websites and partner websites. It was such a powerful traffic generating strategy that it was deemed anti-competitive behavior.
