Paid Traffic

Dear Friend,

In the past few days, I’ve been testing paid traffic methods and for some reason I had a hunch that those traffic were unqualified traffic. Reason being, in the internet marketing sphere, there are a bunch of people who are doing research as well and they probably clicked on my link.

For the most part, I checked most of their sites out and discovered that all they did was direct link to the vendor’s site.

I wouldn’t want to spend $10 on unqualified clicks in an extra competitive market. There was one day where I tried promoting a popular internet marketing product and ended up being burned.

I hope those researchers out there, if you’re reading this, I know you’re coming from another site after doing some research. I have some tracking tools installed for particular keywords so please if you would, be courteous and not click on ads just for the sake of researching. You can always copy and paste the display URL and view my site.

Direct linking with PPC is one of the most laziest way to do stuff and it’s not very effective because you’re not providing what the prospective customer wants. It’s very misleading.

It’s easy to do direct linking campaigns..no doubt but from what I heard through most of my friends doing direct linking, they either make some money or lose money. It’s as simple as that.

So, if you’re thinking of doing paid traffic and you’re on a tight budget then work towards using free methods first. I’ll be honest, I’ve lost close to $900 just by doing PPC, I did make some money but it was pocket change. Did that stop me from trying? No. PPC is very effective when you want to get something out. Try something outside the internet marketing sphere and you’ll see that it’s much doable. Within the internet marketing sphere, you’ll be competing with direct linkers and so forth. It can be tough.

Tomorrow, I’ll be doing a sneak peek for a launch that I’m doing for August 4th. So potential JV partners, keep your eyes peeled.
