i haven't gone anywhere!

I don't mean to not update my blog more regularly - I've been extremely focused on getting the website up and organized the best that I can. I'm thinking about a "FLASH" page where I list nothing but get-rich-quick stuff - Hell, who knows - Sign up for 20 and even 1 works, then maybe that's worth it - Better for you if I waste my time on it and it least my AVOID section will grow :)

Just been spending this week updating sites for traffic tornado, getting my Viral rotator programs listed - When I launch the website I'm going to REALLY start heavy advertising - And when I do I want you all to see a well organized list of EASY TO USE resources...I'm finding them everyday - I just want to come out with a good product - not just get it up for the sake of having it published - that's all for now - check out the traffic tornado - really if you want to get your site listed on a LOT of exchanges, or if your focus is to build referrals...this is a good system for doing both - Already 4 downline members and i just signed up 2 days ago! so it's already working - beyond that I have like 3 referrals at the exchanges listed - so the effects go on and on....it's totally free - just takes some time

This is awesome!

After you have tried a few traffic exchanges, check out TrafficTornado! Sign up free and you just go and join whichever programs you want. You enter your own affiliate ID's for each program, then promote just 1 site. This is a really great idea and should build you a SERIOUS downline quickly. They have over 20 exchanges listed that you can join. You don't have to go to each and every one to promote on them - Just promote TrafficTornado and you get them all done - This looks like an excellent opportunity to build up LOTS of traffic all from one place - Join it now

I didn't list it, so here it is!

Instant Squeeze Page Generator - I signed up for this and it's really, REALLY cool. It makes me feel like a pro - With this program you generate your own "squeeze pages" - You pick a template, pick the giveaway, insert the script (gotta have a program for this, but they have a free one you can use) and off you go - It's an incredibly professional looking piece of work - You can do it free, but you can get 50% off the pro fee if you sign up for $47 (otherwise it's $99!) - I don't know if you (or me!) are really ready for what this program does, but I know I will be soon and I want it in my affiliate arsenal - Remember list building is something in the back of my mind and this is going to be a great product for doing that - Plus, Instant Squeeze Page Generator also turns into another Affiliate Opportunity for you to promote - With very nice commissions - check it out and judge for yourself. I think it's a great program!

Week 2 in review

Well I found a couple more great traffic generating programs. My website is ALMOST ready to go. I just need to optimize and tweak it a bit. Got tons of hits from LinkReferral, TrafficSwarm, EasyHits & 4x4hits. All these are great. I think it should do even better once the site is up.

Have mixed reviews about Adland Pro PPC ads - They are extremely inexpensive and I got a TON of hits, but very few conversions. Like ZERO for NetSuccess which is a really incredibly program (in my opinion) but I did get 5 sales for Affiliate Junktion. Out of 1,700 hits though, I'm thinking this isn't a highly targeted advertising source. My intention is to still purchase the PPC ads (I haven't found anything cheaper!) but to hopefully get some keywords that aren't so "generalized" if you will - My thought process is that out of 70,000+ users at Adland, at least some of them must be seriously looking into programs. So I'm going to try to buy keywords that generate a lot less traffic, but the traffic will hopefully be more targeted. It's a little discouraging to see 1,700 hits and only $10 in commissions - I paid $40 for the ads :)

But it's all about learning right now - and that's what I'm doing. The great thing about Adland Pro is that you can check the CTR% - so certain keywords don't have a TON of traffic, but the click through % is pretty good - like 2-5% (high in this case). So perhaps I just need to find the RIGHT ones here and get less clicks, but more signups - I'll let you know how that goes (unless I find the magic keyword - just kidding :)

Goals this week -
Finish site optimization and publish!!!! Yippeee -
Read Google Adwords cause it will be time to get serious advertising going when the site is up
Go through NetSuccess Matrix - This is the replacement of TrafficSwarm and is supposed to be awesome - Need to get up to speed
Go through a list of traffic generators that my friend Marilyn sent me
I have a squeeze page generator program and will tinker with that - Looks like an amazing product that really produces results - I listed it a few posts down if you want to check the link. Basically I think I'm going to need to start building email lists, and that is one of the major goals of that program - Give away free ebooks and get emails - we'll see
Also got aNOTHER new program offer from Get Google Ads free - so that needs to be done cause it looks great -

So as you can see i have just a TON on my plate - but so far I'm also getting a lot done...even in an hour or 2 per day....I think i'm doing alright - but the deeper I get, the larger the puddle is - or something like that - basically I do one thing and it just leads into something else - It's a VAST world for online marketers....

want 1 million hits to YOUR site, FREE?

I just found another free advertising source that delivers real viral marketing at it's best. Here is the entire scoop - Click 6 links and write down a confirmation no. - Then you just list your site address and off you go! Now can I tell you the traffic is targeted buyers? No, I just signed up and I'm not sure. But for 5 min's of your time, your site will get clicked THOUSANDS of times. If you've got a really good program (more free traffic, for instance) then I'm sure you will get even more referrals through it. Think about it - You saw this link through me - You are an online marketer looking for easy & free traffic sources. You are signing up for this EXACT demographic. Really, no advertising delivers guaranteed conversions. But guaranteed traffic is a heck of a start on something you can sign up for FREE!

I don't see how you can NOT sign up for it - Check out T2000Ultra and sign up!

why I don't use Google AdSense

I've had a few comments about why I don't use AdSense on my blog. I've read about some programs that advise you to set up literally HUNDREDS of sites, just to have AdSense on there and generate pennies a day. I don't have them on my blog and I'm pretty sure I won't have them on my site....here's why - I'm in affiliate marketing right now. I'm promoting products and giving reviews about my programs. My reviews are honest and I'm trying to provide a real framework and starting point for new people to succeed in - but what does AdSense really do? It takes people AWAY from my site! Why would I want to make a few pennies in AdSense, when I can make exchange referrals and affiliate commissions right here? See how that doesn't make any sense? Your providing a site and generating traffic for yourself - If that traffic, which we all know is our lifeblood, goes to another site, we just spent all our time (and often money) so that someone else (the AdSense buyer) can make the sale. Now I know that a lot of people will swear by AdSense - I'm not here to tell people what to put on their site - Shoot, I'm no expert. I'm just saying that for me, I want my visitors here...I'm the one doing all the work to generate traffic -

just a thought from a newbie - Google AdSense is widely used, especially by bloggers - I just don't think it makes much sense from an affiliate marketing standpoint...so that's why I don't do it....

been WORKING like crazy

I have really been working hard on my site this week. It's a lot of information, even as a total newcomer, and getting it all in there is serious work...Not to mention actually trying to organize it. I think i'm blinding myself on the color choices right now though - I'm going to have to go surf a bunch of sites and get some ideas for layout and color schemes...I can't even decide the right font right now -

Anyway - Program of the day! da da da dAAAA! okay, i'm trying the whole flash thing and it's just not really me. My newest traffic program is an excellent bargain. Check out Viral Rotator. Works like this - Get 50,000 hits to your site for $49.95 - if thats too much to commit right away, just test drive 10,000 hits for only $14.97 - The cool thing besides the pretty low cost of that traffic, is that you can then easily promote your own affiliate link. Check out the sales tag:
2 Packages available! (1). 50,000HITs: $49.95 (2). 10,000HITs: $14.97
If your referrals buy 50,000 hits package, you earn $20.00 per sale!
If your referrals buy 10,000 hits package, you earn $5.00 per sale!

This is also a good affiliate page that I think would do very well on traffic exchanges. I hope you like it - I am excited to promote it. Are the hits "quality traffic"? I don't know yet - but I'm pretty sure you could advertise this easily enough to earn plenty of affiliate sales. It's rare to find straightforward affiliate programs like this. The product is something we all need and the costs are pretty inexpensive. But the benefits really seem to be there. Check out Viral Rotator

this may be the best PPC advertising on the net!

Remember when I recommended AdLandPro's advertising system? For $9.95/month you get your ad rotated to the top every single hour - Also, they had Site Submission services for $15 to 80k search engines. I know it works because I got this site listed on MSN & YAHOO in less than 2 weeks! I still haven't been able to get my 1st site, BadLuckHandicapper, listed on MSN - SO, These services are a remarkable deal and this is SUPER inexpensive advertising -

Well today I found their PayPerClick (PPC) ad's and this might be the best deal online. Instead of paying 25c - 35cents per click, you can get PPC ads here for 1-3cents each! For TopNotch search words! Online business = 3cents per click! Work at home = 3cents per click! You can get as little as $10 worth of PPC clicks! Think about it like this - you can get 33 people to click YOUR ad for $1! $10 will get you 333 clicks! If people are clicking that means you probably have at least a Shot at them signing up for your program and at 33 clicks per $1, I can't think of a more cost effective advertising method.

Go to AdLand Pro today and sign up for their PPC program! (upper right hand side) Targeted clicks to your site for 1/10th of the price of other PPC programs - Just go to Paid Keyword and get started...

in less than an hour i've had 64 clicks on my ad - this obviously works...at $25 per signup that I earn, I'm getting outstanding! advertising for my money!
