    Hi,

    I have tried a number of traffic sources which claim real traffic, targetted traffic, popup, popunder, expired domain etc and I seem to get the same results. What appears to be real traffic coming to the site with unique IP addresses ends up never get past the first page.

    I am interested in whether anyone has really had success with these traffic sources that have been offered. I would appreciate being pointed in their direction. I am looking for US targetted credit card traffic.



    Thanks

    I have been buying traffic for a long time online and there is something to be made of it but you have to have the right mindset. Traffic is just that Traffic and nothing more someone will visit your website for seconds. OK that is the deal so with that in mind you have to setup a page with that in mind. So here we go with some things that have helped me.

    1. Make a traffic landing page. Use big words and make no real attempt to sell but rather to capture an Email ( this is FREE for the user) and you just want have enough time to convert using this type of traffic. Get yourself a good squeeze page as they call them.

    2. Talk to the visitor: Use things like Stop signs and good Headlines to grab them long enough to get that Email and nothing more.

    3. Make it an easy decision for the user: What I am trying to say is target your landing page. Should you know the name of the website the traffic is coming from use that name. Example you bought traffic from abccreditwidgets.com then you might have a headline like
    STOP if you loved ABC widgets widgets check out this Absolutely FREE info on how to get our Widgets and explode your credit.

    OK if you don't know the name of the site but you know that it is a PPC engine or something then you want to be offering something similar to that so as to get good response. Something Free or incentive based to get a chance to really market to that 5 second visitor.

    Another thing is all traffic is not the same make sure you are getting good english speaking USA,UK or CA traffic and refine your page. Also you might join some banner exchanges and put them on the landing page so that you can get impressions on top of the views. There by stretching even more out of that traffic. The traffic is not the end all it is the content of your landing page and how you have thought out the psychology and gave your visitor 1 quick 10 second decision to make.

    Thank you that was very informative. It just seems if the traffic is forced to come to the landing page, they are less likely to enter.

    As long as the visitors are real, you should at somepoint get better conversion or more sales. The reason why traffic companies have somewhat of a bad rep, it's because of a couple of reasons. First, most of them use fake traffic scripts, and another reason is that even for the ones that deliver the traffic, most visitors only stay on the site for just a few seconds. So when cust don't see enough pageviews they get disappointed.

    I have a lot of experience in this, and here's one of my scenarios:

    Right now I have an insurance website, so I use US targeted traffic to it. I tested a package of 100k unique visitors from the US, the category was Finance, then I spread my campaign to receive 3500 visits per day. The total cost of the 100k visitor package was less than $400. The conversion I received for that Month was very low at approx 1%.

    Such low conversion is usually very typical for this type of traffic, and that's where most people using this type of traffic gets disappointed at first. But it's more profitable because of the volume, and there should no doubt about that.

    I used to have approx 10% conversion ratio when I was using only Google Adwords to advertise. My campaign budget was for $600 per Month, the average CPC ran about $2-3 since insurance keywords are very expensince and go up to $75 per CPC. So my ads used to rank in page 10-20 or further. But I still received enough clicks to meet my budget.

    With that budget, I was receiving approx 280 clicks/visitors, and 28 sales from my 10% conversion.

    Right now, with a lower budget of less than $400 for targeted traffic, I get 1000 sales from about 1% conversion rate. So not only I save $200 in advertising, I also make 972 more sales.

    My recommendation is to make sure you have a good product, make sure it's well presented, and you'll be successful with any type of marketing. As long as your visitors are real people, they will buy.

    Now go get some traffic!
