In part 2 I talked about how to drive thousands of visitors to your free report and get hundreds of sign-ups using Traffic Exchanges. Today I have another great traffic generating method that I use all the time. YourEZTextAds This method is a fairly new idea in the internet marketing world which combines a traffic exchange and a safelist in one. In case you do not know what a Safe List is, it is where you can send thousands of emails to members every 2 or 3 days. You will earn mailing credits by clicking on links in the emails you receive. YourEZTextAds uses Text ads that have always been one of the most popular ways to generate traffic online. It has also been proven that text ads convert higher than other forms of advertising. But it gets better... you NO LONGER have to view boring websites and long count downs to earn your credits. YOU get to click on the ads that YOU want to view, which means higher quality traffic for you as well as more money in your pocket! When you join YourEZTextAds you will get to post a FREE AD and get 50 Text Ad credits as a welcome. As your ad is text only there is no need for a branded squeeze page using this method and no pressure to impress in 10 seconds. You, like the other members, will simply look through a page of 10 text ads that will look something like this: Earn Over $50 Per Click! Promote The Top ClickBank Product With Super Squeeze Pages You simply click on one that interests you and you will then earn text ad credits for every one you view. Simple. This particular text ad has had 2679 views and 604 clicks in only a few days. So you can see how easy this method is to generate thousands of visitors to your Clickbank Affiliate Hoplink every day. In the final Part of the Beginners Guide To Promoting ClickBank Products, I reveal the most effective method I have ever seen to drive targeted traffic in there thousands to your ClickBank product almost overnight. Until next time, Bye for now, [FONT="]Mike German[/FONT]
Safelists are filled with other marketers who's only interest is getting their own product seen. They only click your ads to earn points.. This is the worst type of incentive driven traffic if you ask me... I highly recommend using your time for more valuable results than playing with safelists
The conversion rates are terrible, I tried every kind of safe list and ad exchange in my early years online. The only way to get real traffic is to get your keywords right.
I concur. I ban affiliates who send me traffic like this as it is useless and never converts. As floodrod says - the traffic you are receiving is just from similar people like yourself - who have signed up and are just clicking in order to get clicks to their own sites.. they are not buyers, that are not really even interested in your site.... this traffic is just waaaaay to untargeted, it is junk and should be avoided at all costs.... if you go down this path then not only will you not make money but worse, you will distort your view of how internet marketing works in the completely opposite way and start looking in all the wrong (push button, ppv, traffic exchange) places... when really what you need is quality sites of your own, unique content, backlinks and rank on google for niche BUYER focused keywords... This forum has gone massively down hill, it seems all the posts are just junk with innaccurate and misleading information, sales pitches, spam, and plain wrong advice.
^^^ I agree with everything you stated, Mike German needs to stop spewing this garbage on this forum. All his posts seem to be some kind of spam. I remember a couple of years ago, there were actually good discussions on this forum. Several top vendors were actively posting on a daily basis, and a lot of top-tier affiliates also joined the discussions. All of them eventually got frustrated with this forum, and left. Now, there's only garbage in the Clickbank section on DP. I barely visit it because there's rarely anything worth seeing.
Yes, it is really sad to see this forum die so much... i learn't a lot here and enjoyed interacting but I too rarely visit and rarely post anymore. I urge you if you are seriously wanting to make money online and learn Internet marketing properly then don't take any information on here too seriously. To put it bluntly the people who are giving it often don't know what theyre talking about or are not successful themselves... at worst case scenario they are just plugging their own sites without giving any value... actually worst case they are plugging other affiliate products which they haven't used, know little about, and which probably won't even help... (there are plenty of exceltions, namely Previous007 and DLM and some others who do offer value) It is sad, but probably the Warrior Forum has more value than here now (despite some quite aggressive selling and actually many more sales pitches / adverts... there is still info of value from people who know their stuff): http://www.warriorforum.com/ Or Niche Choppers, my new home: http://forums.nichechoppers.com/ - you won't get ANY junk threads there, you are NOT ALLOWED to pitch your own products or products as an affiliates, a thread like this would be blasted for it's innaccuracy, and imho wrong advice. To recap - newbies, if you are just getting started then don't bother with traffic exchanges and the like... build your own site, write unique content, do some article marketing... if it sounds too good to be true then it definitely is... IM is SLOOOOOOW.... it takes time... but if you have the patience then the painstakingly "slowness" at how money is made in the beginning becomes irrelevant when you really get it, when you achieve the cumulative effects of good unique writing / content, seo / search engine placement and other pieces like ppc, strong conversion rate, video marketing etc... once the money starts to come in you will see it double up once you "get it", but it will be slow in the beginning... there are no push button results possible... imho of 4 years fulltime online, a top Clickbank product, 2 websites inside the Alexa top 100k, and making very significant amounts of money.
