There are a few things that really get my blood boiling. One is email scam artists who obviously have nothing better to do than to try and steal your money. The other is people who try to dissuade you with an outright lie disguised as a legitimate solution. I am talking about companies that sell traffic. They make all kinds of claims about how great getting a ton of traffic to your website is. The other angle is how easy it's going to be as well. Some say that the system will work forever and then auto pilots itself so you don't have to ever do anything again. Wow, how stupid.
First of all, if you have a new website don't ever ?buy traffic? it's a waste of money by someone slicker than you. Think of it this way. Has anyone ever came to you and asked you what you are looking for and then made a suggestion on what website to go to find it? That's a no. The only possible way that you can buy traffic is to use a pay per click campaign from Google, MSN or Yahoo. But, it is not easy, free, or works on autopilot. Getting eyeballs to your website involves constant strategy and constant tinkering. It also involves building a great site with lots of content and building links to your site. This is not easy and certainly not something you do once and let go of. Ask any reputable website owner and they will tell you so.
So how do they do it? Well if you have been sucked into buying some traffic, you will get some actual visits from the service that promised them to you. This is the easiest way to explain it. The companies set up an autopilot script that sends a robot to your site, the robot visits for about 3 seconds which is long enough to register on your tracking logs, and then they leave. They then come again and again with unique codes that show they are coming from all over. What you will notice is that they never stay for more than a few seconds and they never ever buy anything. If you are serious about your site you would know that every site has a conversion factor. If you sell something then you would expect that for every ?#? of visitors, X amount buy something. For example, I know that for my site for every 200 people that visit I get one sale. This is measurable and useful. If you have a ton of hits and nothing is going on, then either you wrote the world's worst website or you have a problem.
They will tell you the traffic is qualified. Here is what qualified traffic is. John Doe goes on Google looking for a blue widget. He types the key word ?blue widget? and gets a return. He then clicks one the sites, looks around and either buys or leaves. Because John was looking for the blue widget, he is considered qualified traffic. A robot or a computer program is never qualified. They are just a clever way to get some cash out of your hand and into someone else's. Here is my golden rule. If a company has to use ?hope? and ?easy? as a selling technique, run away very fast. Instead take the money and hire someone to teach you how to get traffic legitimately.
Where To Buy Traffic
the most successful marketers online don't tell you the
whole truth of how they get thousands of visitors AND
more importantly BUYERS to their sites. I know just how
hard it is to get ANY traffic to a web site, never mind
targeted ready to buy traffic. So you'll be glad to know
there's an easier way and today..
I'm going to lift the lid on some of the secret methods
and more importantly TOOLS that are used to generate
qualified ready to buy traffic to any web site..
I'm specifically talking about Joint Venture marketing
and how you can use Joint Ventures to build your Internet
business. In its simplest terms, Joint Venturing means
that two different businesses with customers who have the
same sort of interests team-up.
One business provides the product for sale, the sales message
and the product delivery. The other business provides a
recommendation about the other business product and provides
the list of prospects to make the product offer to.
This is a lot easier than spending the next 6-12 months
figuring out how to get your site listed in the major
search engines. You could constantly change your pages
to get top rankings at sites like Google or Yahoo *OR*
you can go to the search engines and find people who
already have top rankings and find a way how you can
Joint venture with them for a share of the profits..
For Instance..
If the top listed web site doesn't want to team up with
you with a Joint venture deal, you simply go to no 2, 3
etc until you find somebody who *IS* willing to do a deal
so that you can split the profits. Your goal from any
deal is to find a way of splitting the profits 50/50
but if you have to give away 60-70% of the profits it
still doesn't matter because you'll be able to sell to
these customers again and again with backend higher
ticket offers..
Lets talk about some of the tools that you can use to
find Joint Venture partners to team up with for a share
of the profits..
Joint Venture Tool No 1:
This is a great tool for searching out Joint Venture
partners. What it does is it goes out and searches multiple
search engines using keywords that you might use to find
your own or related web sites. It then brings up results
of related web sites you can contact for Joint Venture
deals..
You'll be able to then visit these web sites and take
down vital information that you'll need for contacting
them for potential Joint Venture deals. Such as their
name, email address, web site address, phone number, fax
number..
Joint Venture Tool No 2:
This is a tool that downloads right over the top of your
browser and gives you some real vital information, like
how much traffic a web site is getting. It doesn't
specifically say how many visitors it's getting but it
tells you what ranking they are compared to other web
sites..
For instance Yahoo would have a ranking of 1. Consider
any web site that has a ranking of less than 100,000
to be a good potential Joint Venture partner for you
and your business.
Alexa also lets you see specific information about each
particular web site, like name, email address, address
phone and fax number. Also it lets you pull up related
web sites for you to visit and take down the information
needed for contacting these people in the future..
Joint Venture Tool No 3:
One of the best ways to reach your potential Joint Venture
partners is by email. To be effective at contacting partners
and getting your emails read, requires you to personalize
each individual email with something that's unique to each
publisher or web site owner. For instance the publishers
ezine, name and web site address..
What you do is build a database of potential partners using
the tools above and then input the details you have generated
into an email program such as group mail. With group mail you
are able to personalize your mailings with information from
your database. So in your database you'll have a list of all
the names of people you want to contact and also their ezine
name. Wherever you want their name to appear in your email
