List Building and Traffic Generation

I've tried everything else and solo ads and swaps have been the most reliable for me.

I'd say solos are the best way to go because they are not time consuming at all.

But there are some other paid methods such as facebook ads, and I've been hearing a lot of good news about Plenty-o-fish a dating site that lets you place ads. - these two both have pretty cheap clicks.

there are some good WSO's that deal with free viral marketing on Facebook.

I don't agree that SEO traffic has to be low quality if you have good content on your site pulling people in. Regardless, I've had luck listing building with JV giveaways recently. You sign up for a giveaway with other people in your niche and then everyone promotes the giveaway where people can sign up to collect the free gifts. In order to collect your free gift, the visitor must signup for your list.

You should consider PPC and advertising on high traffic websites and blogs. Do free marketing also to lower your overall costs of acquiring a customer.

I've always heard great things about Squidoo traffic, but I have yet to really find out for myself. I would also suggest finding a well-reviewed WSO related to Squidoo and follow it until you get results.

Good luck!

I like to use PPV for list building...

Can be bought for cheap and there is plenty of it to go around

Check out places like Pay Per View PPV Cost Per View CPV Contextual Online Advertising Network or LeadImpact

Solo ads are my favorite. I've started some PPV with lead impact and seen some decent results. But I suggest researching well before entering PPV. I ran through some cash before I started seeing some results. There was a great WSO I picked up here but can't remember the title. PM me if you want to know the title and ill dig it up.

Since you plan to use those 3 methods, just stick to it first...

You lose traffic when you lose focus on your methods and keep moving from methods to methods. The best is to make one method work well and move on to the next.

In this way you will less likely to lose focus

try a good press release and try to make it go viral. Send all traffic to an optin page. Bob is your uncle.

Forum posting is pretty good

I heavily use:

- twitter
- SEO

These two always bring loads of traffic. But, of course, SEO is a "hard nut to crack"

Guys, What is the best place to buy solo ads? I would like to go by niche

im building my list with blogger and craigslist...so far i have 82 subscribers its going pretty good....about 1 or 2 signups a day...and for autoreponder i use mailchimp its free to use..and you can have up to 2000 subscribers after that you must pay to upgrade...but you can start with all those free tools..

Beware of scam solo ad offers... How do they do it? They use 'safe lists' that are full of dead emails, bouncing emails, and nonresponders. Another scam is to generate a list for one niche and misrepresent it as a list of people interested in YOUR niche.

PPV is cheap and you can also try PPC, social media marketing and blog commenting. This may take awhile but you are guaranteed real traffic.

I just started using youtube videos to generate traffic to my squeeze pages. I also use fiverr traffic gigs with some good success as well.

Fiverr gave me low quality backlinks.

Now the best way of traffic generation content posting on high traffic site (I recommend press release site) and that links should be sharing on social site like FB twitter and G+.

I think you should use ppc, although i don't think all seo methods give low quality traffic or backlinks. It all depends on how you do it.

Whoever told you SEO traffic is low quality is dead wrong.. Its actually incredibly high quality because its targetted.. As far as it being unreliable, that may be pretty accurate

People who told you about SEO traffic being low quality probably just had bad/ineffective squeeze pages. There are so many cheap squeeze pages you can buy at Fiverr. Experiment with those until you get a nice SU rate.

I've been email marketing since Britney Spears did her first music video on MTV in 1998 (I think). (Fascinatingly enough, I have an interesting story about that. But, you'd have to feed me a few beers before I start talking).

First let me say that SEO should always be considered. But, if you want to go big, it's time to start studying different methods of paid traffic. PPV, PPC, PTC, media buys, solo buys; even offline ads.

The best advice I can give is to study paid traffic, and outsource free traffic (like SEO, and Social Networking).

In any event, SEO should be considered like icing on the cake or something that you outsource. If you're depending upon making a living and you're not doing this as a hobby, SEO is too slow in my opinion. (Sure, we've all had some great SEO successes, but do you want your success dependent upon Google and their at times draconian mandate?)

Also consider the wide array of change that plagues Google on a daily basis now. Indeed, the Phds at Google are soon to outnumber Nasa's and their intentions of change are becoming an almost hourly topic.

Paid traffic is what you need in order to succeed on a fulltime basis. Something that's more fast, more on demand, more in your control, and something that you can rely upon. Every other type of traffic should be outsourced at best, and neglected at worst; I know I'm going to get hatemail for that one.

Paid traffic is the most sure; it's not that easy though. You have to track and split test like it was your bread and butter. Because when you buy traffic; you don't want to waste money on dud campaigns more than once, which is why split testing and tracking are a superlative variable determining a profitable and more importantly longterm feasibility.

Liked I told someone today and I will tell you. S.E.O. is garbage. It only works on the backend of your business. I ge leads through direct marketing. I want to know right then and there if they are interested. Somtimes I get phone calls but those calls usually turn into a direct marketing scheme also. Lol. im if fun though. Less money, but that is why I have a regular job to.

Youtube traffic is great as well. It is the same as traffic with SEO. Plus, your videos can easily be shared among Youtube users, so the traffic not only comes from Youtube search but also from viral marketing.

1. Solo Ads - They are great BUT getting a bit expensive at a minimum of $0.30 per unique click - Make sure to offer a free gift and once they hit subscribe redirect to a OTO for $9 - If they buy Upsell for $97 - If they buy great, of not Downsell for $47. Doing this I am able to break even on the front which is great.

2. Ad Swaps - You need at least 1000 subs to start a decent ad swap campaign. Vet your swap partners carefully and check out the offer they want to send, remember that every time you send to your list, you are going to get unsubscribers, the number of unsubs increases dramatically if you send weak offers. Blind copy in the swipe and on the squeeze page usually work better and will increase CTR and optin rate, but the back end conversion will be a bit lower but volume makes up for this - keep that in mind.

If you don't have 1000 subs to begin adswapping, approach other list owners and ask them if they will bank your clicks. How this works is you will send clicks to the partner untill you reach a number that was predetermined - once you hit that number the partner will send the clicks back plus 10% interest. I accept partners like this all the time and found that because almost everybody ignores them, the traffic they generate converts higher because those visitors have not been exposed to OTOs, Upsells, Cross promotions etc etc

3. PPV - With PPV it is all about your targets (URLs and Keywrods) you are bidding on. In my experience, don't bid on keywords, ONLY URLs. Get a decent URL scraper that will enable you to scrape the first 10 URLs for exact match keywords you want to target from the 3 big search engines (some of the results will be the same, filter them out). A lot of people make the mistake of going after impressions - You are burning money - go after Conversions - You do this by narrowing down your keywords to exact match searches as close to what you are offering as possible (Hint - Google Suggest) - forget broad search terms. Track, Analyze and optimize your campaign continually until you can break even on the front end.

4. Video - If you can master YouTube you don't need any other video sites. I am not going to go into ranking videos on YouTube here but it is not that hard, the FORMAT if your video is very important - again - a lot of people go for views - that is worhless - your aim should be do get as many people to click on the link below your video as possible - I do this by making use of the Cliffhanger technique - give something of real value in the video that they will like but to make it complete they must click on the link beneath the video - EXAMPLE - You show them exactly how to create special reports to give away to build a list, what niche to target, what squeeze page to use etc - then if they want to know how to flood that funnel with traffic, they must click the link to go to your site where you reveal the traffic secret - get it?

I will share some more a bit later.....

Article Syndication for Traffic...for Real and Passive Results...

SEO isn't useless. 75% of my site traffic comes through SEO, and 75% of my income comes off my site. Depends of you are offering something original and closely related to the visitors keyword searches. Not earning a great deal yet but its growing, and those are my stats.

If you have tons of Twitter followers then Twitter will be good for you.

Hi there,

I think this free report can give you some good insights.

I would look further in paid media like pay per click. You can start really small. Even $10 per day and $0.10-$0.20 per click will get you somewhere. Start small and when you start getting results, rank your daily spending budget to $50.

You can also look for HIGH traffic websites through Google and advertise on their website.

Although, I am new to Internet Marketing, I am not new to other direct response media. One rule you must follow, if you want long term sustainability, is to diversify media just like an investment portfolio.

Having all or a vast majority of your traffic come from a single method can end up hurting you. Ask all of the marketers that used exact match domains and Adsense to earn their income.

Diversification = risk mitigation and that should be a goal if you want really want to build a business.

I don't agree that SEO traffic is low quality, it is high quality and targeted traffic.
For list building and traffic generation I recommend Solo Ads and PPV marketing.

I hope that helps.

I've tested and wasted money on a lot of traffic sources and also made a lot of profit with other traffic sources. One of my most reliable, straight to the point, sales and subscribers within hours is SOLO ADS, hands down.

The second would be Media Traffic where you find websites similar to your niche by targeting them with the right keyword and independently asking them DIRECTLY for advertising on their sites. Think about it, you can find a website with 50k visitors a month and pay $300 for a text link or banner link, you'll make your $300 back quickly.

I don't know if this is of any use, but there might some ideas in here that you havent thought of...

Solo ads has its Pros & Cons

Pros

-People who are actually interested in your niche
-buyers

Cons
-list is constantly battered with solo ads and swaps
-the list may be burnt out
-the solo vendor may not be treating their list well

Theres a myriad of s

For traffic generation, you can use these methods:

- Comment: Find the wp blog or forum and leave your opinion about the topic. Just try to make impressed opinion, readers will click on your link.
- Yahoo answer: It's similar to comment
- Guest Blogging: This is the most powerful backlink in the net (in my opinion). However it takes time .
- Document sharing: Share your pdf file.
- Facebook ads: You can get cold traffic from here
- Solo ads: of course, a lot of people talk about this
- Video Marketing: create video and use Vagex.com to boost your ranking.
- Blogging: I think you should build a blog to give away some high value content to get subscribers + buyers .

That's all I think about traffic generation!
Do you have more? I want to learn more

I have good experience with directCPV. You get lots of traffic to your site and I find it to be a much faster way to get traffic than SEO. However basic SEO is always worth the time I think.

solo ads are good but while you are building your list using paid traffic continue to build your free traffic up too

I use and funnel a lot of traffic to my list from my IM blog

All that traffic is free and super targeted

Get into a routine where you constantly create quality content and distribute it around as many different channels as you can
