The most effective advertising will come from your blog. A standard website(one provided by SFI) which brand your business opportunity. All of the traffic from all of the affiliates who advertising this site serves to brand SFI and not you as a independent business owner. It is not a total loss because the site is provided to your for free and hosted on SFI's servers which they have the professional level service to maintain. Generally, the site loads fast and is very marketable. As of this year the site has under gone a number of updates. So in the end, your marketing strategy overall is going to determine how well this site serves you.
Notwithstanding, investing in your blog will reward you 10 times over. Mainly because you can control the content and brand yourself as an independent business owner. All from one interface you can sale TripleClicks products, promote Pricebender Auctions, promote Eager Zebra Games, you can diversify your marketing so you can create multiple income streams from your SFI business, and so much more. With your own web property, you can really began to build a serious income for yourself and your family. The biggest advantage of your blog will be that you can diversify the content yet maintain the focus so that when your audience comes to your blog they will interact with the content in such a way to build liking and trust. In the end, your blog is going to be more personable and receive more ranking in the SERPs so you can build organic traffic. The organic traffic that comes to your SFI website is mostly likely not going to come through your gateway.
Therefore, I recommend that you send all of your traffic to your blog and not to your SFI gateways. Use the site for what is intended as a back office. Use your gateways but point to your blog. If you can't invest in a good WordPress blog then use what you have until you can then brand your business so you can achieve greater success over time.
