Do You Want 750 visitors, 250 clicks, 100 opt-ins, 5 sales?

    To make long story short:

    An old Squidoo lens was getting about 20 uniques per day for months... but today I got over 750 uniques!... and I didn't do anything special.

    So what exactly happened?
    A while ago I saw an infomercial about "Working from home", sorry I won't reveal the name of the company... It seemed shady but I wanted to find out more. There weren't many results on Google, so I went directly to Ripoff report site. Sure enough the product was listed there, with hundreds of horrible comments.

    So I created a Squidoo lens (could have been a free blog as well), I named the lens the same as the product I saw in the infomercial. In that lens I talked about making money online, threw in some affiliate links and an opt in form. I also had a section: Here is what the customers of XYZ have to say about this product...

    Today, on a Saturday this company played their infomercial at least twice, so many folks hit up Google to find out more about that super money making program... Sure enough I was there, on the first page, listed BEFORE the official product website.

    This is how I stole $100,000 paid TV traffic

    More details on my blog (Free TV Traffic)

    What do you think of this technique?

    EDIT: I do not want to take credit for it, I did not invest this technique. In the original post (on my blog) I mention that I heard of this from Jay, a great marketer.

    Yo Alex !

    I have been watching alot of those infomercials and checking them out on the big "G" , with hardly any results.

    I took a note of all the "product names", and I'm going to try and twist it up a little bit like what you were saying.

    I'll let you know the results.

    Peace
