Hey all, Been reading tons of posts daily and does everyone here buy traffic to their landing pages? -D
Most bought traffic as in paid leads is pretty poor quality if your trying to sell something.. its ok if your trying to get a traffic spike or run adsense, or have free give aways but usually paid leads converts very low..around 0.05% around 5 / 100,000 visits. I recommend other methods if your promoting a CB / AFF program. Good luck
If you have the right keywords and the right LANDING PAGE it works great. I don't do this myself but I know people who do. 2-4-K why the hell are you talking about paid leads? We're talking PPC -> Landing Page here. If you're doing this I actually recommend Google Nemesis, but maybe not use their landing page creator because you have to host them on their server. Just make sure to set up your own system to track your keywords. In Nemesis they track what keywords convert into sales, I suggest you do the same. No actually you have to do the same, or you'll lose money. But for this purpose I'd say nemesis is pretty good for their training material alone. I'm not saying you need it, just a suggestion if you're doing this stuff. I don't do adwords by the way, I just happen to know quite a bit about it, I'm going to incorporate it in future projects, in a very specific way...
Short answer: most people submit articles to directories, other use ppc. The ppc guys are generally the most successful simply because it costs them money therefore the once that are not successful stop doing it.
Mate I must of misunderstood the question then as I thought he meant buying traffic..not PPC.. you know the ole 10,000 visitors for $20 etc.. If you mean buying PPC for your landing page then I think its good to use PPC for a landing page only on the content network not the search network.. much cheaper and your landing page should have some form of a squeeze box so you can build a relationship with your visitors. Good luck
Ah yeah, I hear ya. NEVER buy traffic in bulk. It sucks ass. And I would disagree about the content network, even though it's cheaper it doesn't convert as well. Search traffic and content traffic are VERY different things.
oh well, actually the content network "can be" the cheapest and most converting traffic if done "the right way" - even better than the search traffic , especially for roi. Most people will tell you otherwise since they just enable the content network in their campaign and see the conversion going down. However, if you do your homework right, the content network meant cheap, and loads of highly targeted traffic of buyers. Play a little with it and you will know what i mean - its worth the effort
Interesting information... I dont mean to hijack this topic but about the tracking keywords topic.. is there any free tool for this job? i could use one.... I tried google nemesis myself then asked for a refund, it sux.... the system is good but hosting all of your stuff on threereviews.com sux...
so setting up an adwords campaign for my site which promotes a clickbank product is not such a bad idea...
If you are getting started you can try creating keyword ids yourself and save them in excel, then you check which one land sales and so on. Its manual work but it will teach you the nuts and bolts of tracking...
With clickbank I typically try to get organic traffic, including for my own product. I do occassionally run AdWords campaigns but typically I don't feel like spending the time to do the keyword price point research.
I guess my site is fairly SEO'd out and it just launch plenty of link building to do, maybe jumping the gun and wait a month for the organic to grow.
It depends on your niche if it will seriously help the buyer with something-finding a solution-but it generally works
well .. for starters you need to rely on paid traffic for and if you have SEO experience and can afford to wait then you could rely on organic traffic ...
