Traffic Secrets – Secrets of Internet MarketingEssay Preview: Traffic Secrets – Secrets of Internet MarketingReport this essayTraffic SecretsBy: Josh Walshwww.CadenzaWeb.com | www.Sell-Traffic.comOur StoryA few years ago, we were struggling to drive traffic to one of our websites. We were immediately overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge and skill it took to successfully drive traffic to our site. We had assumed that if we created a site that was worth seeing, it would be seen. We could not have been more wrong.
We ran into a number of companies who offered to take over this daunting task for us. We decided to try out a number of them to see how our competition stacks up.
They offered many packages of visitors. I remember my first purchase. I bought 5,000 targeted hits from them for $10. My product cost $15 at the time, so I figured at least 1 person out of 10,000 would purchase. The days went by, and my counter went crazy.
The ResultsAfter our contract expired, all my hits had been delivered as expected. I did not have one sale!!I Should Have Learned My Lesson!Thinking this had to be a fluke.. I switched to another company, and bought the same package.Again, I GOT NO SALES!!I couldnt figure out what was going on. I was confident my ads were written well. The site was well designed and planned, and my product was in demandI Started To InvestigateFrustrated, I started to investigate exactly where these visitors were coming from. I discovered, that I had fallen victim to one of the most common scams on the internet. I couldnt believe my eyes when I first discovered the secrets these companys use to drive traffic to the clients sites.
I contacted a few friends and was quickly told that the scam was not from one individual, but from dozens of companies that are doing the same, and that they had found the exact same thing. We contacted the “victim companies” to look into their operations; we all told people our stories, but we were quickly told to tell our own. The main problem I went through was how to keep contact people from turning off their ad revenue. How to stop them from going to our sites if the scam went away? I went in and spent hours on how to prevent their visitors. Then, it became apparent that a few of the companies were giving away ad dollars and getting their ads paid by the end of it. They were sending us emails to the following companies, hoping to help out us, but we were not able to verify the emails we were sending. In a move that made sense to me, then a few friends from a “co-worker” company contacted my ex and made him come to his rescue and to ask his help in stopping the scam for this company! The whole thing got so crazy that we decided to call them again. I contacted these same companies, and a total of 3 people from the same company came into contact with us, and we started coordinating things with them as well. After a series of meetings we had decided to move on.
This scam is a direct response to the ad business model: They do not want to pay their users at low prices, they WANT you to do the work so they can make the profit from you for their ad.
The “victim” companies are working with some of the most experienced ad agencies in China, but even though they are “stealing” our information, what they can do is change the way we interact with them and make us feel they are not doing all that they’re supposed to do. It’s like a virus that goes out on everyone or just the “most trustworthy.”
What can you say to our clients?
If you have noticed that your website and ads have been blocked for 3 weeks, please contact us immediately and stop sending your visitors junk or spam.
Why would you go to so much trouble to get an ad blocked? It is difficult to have two people do the work for you, and to ask for help when you need it. This is an industry rife with double standards and double standards of people trying to do the right thing, and what some call “canniness”. Your company is trying to make money, but the industry doesn’t want to lose their business or their customer base. Our ex and co-worker and client all know how to fix their website to make money, yet they only want 2 people to do their work for them, and
I checked the script I had installed that was used to check detailed stats on all of our traffic. All 10,000 of our hits came in 2 days, and all 10,000 of them were logged in for less than 3 seconds. Not a single one of them navigated past our main page. My stats script will also tell me where my traffic was referred from, and what keywords they used. All of these hits had the same referral, and didnt use keywords. This last fact isnt important, because any company, good or bad, will redirect their traffic sources through their domain. This is just to keep competitors from stealing their sources (good or bad).
I believe that these companys are going to pay for their greed and dishonesty sometime in the near future.In the next few pages, we are going to reveal exactly how these greedy companies scam you. This will help you avoid such scams, and put your money to good use, instead of wasting it.
You Will Be Shocked at what these companys do to send you traffic!This is the most immoral, unethical, and dishonest business practice I have ever come across online. These companies know exactly what theyre doing. After all, if their traffic methods work, wouldnt they use it themselves? Why is a company offering millions of hits to their visitors, when they are only getting 10-15 hits a day? They dont use their own methods, because they know their hits are useless.
I fell victim to this scam, as have thousands of others. These companies give you a sales pitch something like this…Suppose that you sell a product for $25 and that in a worst case scenario only 1% of your visitors purchase your product.An average site gets less than 100 hits per day (3,000/month). Thus, approximately 30 people will purchase the product every month (1% of 3,000). That means you are taking in only $750 per month (30 x $25)
With our service: Suppose the site owner (you) purchases 100,000 visitors with our service. Using our assumption that only 1% of visitors will purchase the product, a total of 1,000 purchases will be made. Thats a value of$25,000! And that is if only 1% of visitors purchase the product! Think about the return on your investment!
If youre like me, you got pretty excited when you read that. After all, theres no conceivable way you cant at least earn your investment back, right? WRONG!!
You give in, order their service, and at first, you get excited, because traffic is pouring in! Soon you realize that your money is earning you nothing. In fact its costing you your bandwidth, and not delivering any results!
Of course no company, no matter how credible they are, can guarantee you sales. That depends highly on your ad copy, price, and the demand of the item. I can guarantee though, that some of these companys have thousands of clients, and not one of their clients has ever made a sale.
I bought my traffic… Now where are all my orders?Now remember, worst case scenario is that 1% of your visitors will buy your product. Right? WRONG! If thats the case, then where are your orders? These companys place these ads right in your face when you visit their website. This way, your sold before you even see the price, and youll buy into their high prices.
Naturally you are going to believe that youll pay off your “investment” right away, and make a ton of extra money. After all, you spent hours writing that “perfect ad,” so youre going to draw in a lot more than 1%.
Ill let you in on a secret. No matter how good your ad is, it doesnt do any good if its never read.You sit there and watch traffic come flying in at hyperspeed. Then they fly out. You dont make any sales. What do you do now? If youre like me, youre going to email them, complaining how you didnt make any sales from their services. Theyre going to tell you some variation of the following…
“Im sorry you didnt make any sales. If you read our terms, you would see that we can only guarantee that we send the traffic to you. The sales are your responsibility. We cannot guarantee sales, because we are not involved in the writing of the advertisement.”
This leaves them clean from delivering any refunds. Trust me, they wont refund your money!Starting
