Any success stories with buying traffic?
 

Hello to Everyone.

I think I've reached the end of my rope with free traffic-generating
strategies. :-)

So, I'm considering buying traffic. I'm thinking this is analogous to
using an ad broker in the offline world. Am I wrong here?

Has anyone here had any success with this approach?

I've looked at QualityTrafficSupply.com (I'm not affiliated) and they
seem legit. Their prices sure fit my budget (starting at $30).

What's the real story on buying hits through pop-unders and banner
impressions?

I'll do the research if someone would, please, kindly point me in the
right direction.

Thanks. -- Thomas

Thank you so much. I really should have investigated more thoroughly.

Take care. -- Thomas

Here's how the scam works...
 

Thomas,

Thanks for asking about Traffic For Sale.

Here's how it works...

Company A sells Traffic - guaranteed hits, or some such - to people who want more traffic.

Company A then offers other people the opportunity to Read Emails And Get Paid every time they click a link.

So when you hand over your money your website address gets sent out in an email to the team of Clickers. They read the email and click the link, end up at your site long enough to register a Hit, then they are on to the next link.

You get your traffic. But it's worthless.

Here's a way to get "Targeted Traffic"!
 

Put together a "HotSheet" or small Report that is an "Intro" or "Preview" of your main program.....and sell it for $2 or more. The buyers of this have shown their interest by paying for the info.

I learned this many years ago when I ran ads in national magazines. Instead of "going for the jugular" on the initial pitch....I used the "TugBoat" technique by reeling them in slowly.

My ad would tell them to "Call My Recorded Message" (which was NOT a free "800 number".

The recording was "non-intimidating" and they could get more info on a topic that interested them. The 2 min recording gave benefits to my program and if they were interested in having More Info mailed to them, they could leave their name and mailing address "at the sound of the beep}.

I then sent them a 4-page sales letter which was to sell my "Preview Video" for a "Refundable Deposit of $20".

This further "qualified" them and "reeled them in closer.

The "Preview Video" explained my BIG Program and how they could benefit by "spending the BIG bucks" for it.

So...1) prospects spent their own money making the Intro call to hear the recording...2) they sent me $20 for the "Preview Video". This meant my Preview Video was going to Highly Qualified prospects.

I sold a LOT of my biz programs for $495 to $2,995 using this "system".

Nowadays...I'd put together a "Preview Report" and sell it for a few bucks. One program I'm working on, I'll be selling the Preview Report for $20 which then sells the main program for $497.

I'll be selling the Preview Report on ebay and other areas...even offering to do a Joint Venture with promoter people who have Huge Lists of active names. We split the $20 and I get the "back-end".

Find someone who is selling something Similar to your program and ask them if they'd be interested in a JV on your "Preview Report". You get the "back-end".

Any of these "Traffic" programs is just as if you were standing on a busy street corner in a big city, holding up a copy of your program and "Hawking" it's benefits. You'd be seen by thousands of people and "maybe" get 1 or 2 to stop and show any interest.

Heads Up Don..
 

As long as your "Preview" is hard-copy, then you're okay on Ebay. If it's NOT, then you must now advertise in the Ebay Classifieds section. ($9.95 a month)

As far as your other information "...ask them if they'd be interested in a JV on your "Preview Report". You get the "back-end"."

You gotta be kidding! You're not going to find many marketers willing to JV 50/50 on a $20 preview product, then sit by while you enjoy 100% of a $497 back-end!

You might get a few newbies to bite, but any marketer worth his salt will tell you and your "all mine" back-end to take a hike.

Hey! It's ALL in the "negotiation"!

Some people can "negotiate" better than others. Granted, I'll probably have to pay a "commission" on the back-end....IF....I was only offering a "back-end". However, there are "other" reasons-why people with "Lists" of prospects who have proven to have interests similar to prospects I am aiming at....would want to JV with me.

Thanks for asking Thomas.

Stay away from popunders and popup exits.

Banner impressions - many of them are good.

But before trying all of them, I would recommend you try out Google Adwords.

Google Adwords allows you to pay-per-impressions on various websites. They charge as little as 25 cents for 1000 impressions for many of the websites. So try working with that first before you try other ad systems.

Why start with google? Because their quality control is pretty good. They are pretty strict with click fraud and fake visitors.

So start with Google. Find out your Return on Investment. (by calculating the number of sales due to Google ads Minus your ad expense on Google.)

Then experiment with other ad services. If these services beat Google's ROI - stick with them. Or else move on.

I don't know everything, however, it is possible that Don Alm is speaking of teaming up with the great Jimmy D. Brown.
taking a look at the bottom of of Dons Midas reports site, I noticed Dons new legal info.

It is a direct copy of several of Jimmy D Browns sites. It also includes
Benchmark Publishing LLC. This is a moniker of Jimmys.
Could the Don and Jimmy D. Brown be teaming up ???????

Thank you for explaining this. I appreciate it.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of advertising on other people's sites
via Google.

Hi

I'm a great believer in the old adage "FREE".

I don't think it very good business to offer a $2 object to get
people to the main play.

If you want real 'staying' customers, then attract them with
an offer they can't refuse. Offer them a FREE report
or ebook in return for their email address and name.
Your offer MUST be of interest, and helpful, giving them perhaps
a "How To" report.

I would never advocate buying leads - as has been said, they're
worthless and a total waste of money. I know I tried it!

Hello,

If your looking for free traffic the best way for that would be article submissions. This can bring in a lot of new unique visitors. Also you can work on building links this is another way to bring in free traffic.

Hello,

I agree that buying cheap traffic or "HITS" is always a bad idea.
There are some cheap traffic services that supply you with bogus traffic
some may use "fake" traffic generators others may use "get paid to surf the web" clubs to send traffic to your site.
You have to make sure that you are getting quality targeted website visitors that's the only traffic that will convert. There are a few traffic services that have excellent service and can really help increase your profits
by sending you targeted traffic... these visitors are searching for the same products or services that you offer.
So just be sure that the company offers these benfits with any services

Can you contact the company when you need to?

Does the company guarantee performance?

Does the company certify its visitors to be genuine?

Can the company prove or verify the source of its visitors to your site?

Does the company offer a full range of services and techniques to serve your needs?

Does the company have the capacity to meet your time, volume and targeting requirements?

Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions

The best information on buying traffic is...
 

Carlos and Lupe's Traffic Tactics. They basically started with very little and grow it to over $5,000,000 a month using very little of their own money.

I say them speak at Yank Silver's Underground seminar a while back and was impressed. So impressed in fact that my partner and i sign up for their 25k coaching program.

Now we are no where near the level of Carlos and Lupe(only buying about 130k per month) their information made it all fairly simply to go out and just do it.

Since they have now come out with the 2nd edition of that program i will be selling the 1st edition of that program. I am selling mostly because out side of more case studies and a couple of more hours of personal coaching, the core information has not changed.

Oh by the way n case you want more information on the program here are some videos to watch without having to go through a squeeze page, here they are:
