I Want Your Sex (dot com)

Mass PPV Traffic has been out since October 27, 2009 – and I’ve just recently had the opportunity to review it (my partner, Robert picked up a copy).

As well by now most people have probably made their purchase, and have read all the Mass PPV Traffic “reviews” out there (in reality most of the reviews were part of the affiliate package that they put out).

So is Mass PPV Traffic a scam? No. I can honestly say that IT IS NOT a scam. It’s the real deal, and it’s something that most newbies (as opposed to NOOBIES) will have even thought about when trying to get traffic to their pay-per-click offers.

So there are a few ways to get people to click through on your pay-per-click offers:

SEO – the tried, and true way to build a business. Great, but it can take a long time to drive the right amount of traffic to your site. You need to combine your SEO with other traffic generation methods. What’s next?

PPC – this is advertising in Google, Bing, Yahoo and perhaps other lesser known search engines out there. But Google, Bing and Yahoo will cost you money. A LOT of money – but you do get better targeted traffic to your site.

What else could you do? Advertise on other sites, but unless the site is drawing a lot of visitors and a HUGE number of unique visitors you could well be throwing your money away.

Mass PPV Traffic provides you with an alternative source of purchasing traffic that is as low as $0.01 per visitor – NO LIES. They are delivering the goods.

You are probably thinking “Yah sure, he just wants to make money” – well, sure I do (isn’t that why you are reading this blog?) but I never recommend anything unless I’ve bought it and there is any truth to the product.

I’ve viewed the videos:

• Introduction
• Member Area
• Introduction To xxxxxxxxxx
• xxxxxxxxxx Alexa
• xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
• xxxxxxxxxx Search Engines
• Setting Up xxxxxx
• Setting Up xxxxxxxxxxxx
• Setting Up Your xxxxxxxxxxx
• xxxx Testing
• URL xxxxxxxx

I’ve read the three PDFs that are part of the package.

In all honesty – Mass PPV Traffic delivers what they say.  I was stunned when I viewed the videos.  As you know I’m getting my toes wet with CPC, and CPA Networks and had only been playing around with Google, Bing and Yahoo for advertising – but this source of traffic (though small) is another source of traffic that is cheap!

For the price – $77.00 (as of this writing) you CAN NOT go wrong.  I highly recommend Mass PPV Traffic if you are working on making it rich by promoting affiliate programs.

Is Mass PPV Traffic A Scam?

Do you go through your log files? You should. Your log files will give you a lot of great information about who is finding your site, through which search engines and keywords.

But you can take that log file data one step further.

I had helped someone with some site optimization, and as part of the service I would review their log files for a period of three months and the provide feedback to them on the next step. The next step, of course is pretty easy – target the top phrases that are being used to find your site. Simple.

So one of the top phrases used to find their site has been “solar power panel kits“. Initially their site was found for this term but really lagging. By putting together several well written articles and submitting them to the top 5 – 10 article directories with specific anchor text they are now getting hundreds of visitors to their site daily for those keywords.

Do you review your log files? If you do not, or have not in some time you really should!

Getting More Visitors To Your Website

We all know that selling ClickBank products can be difficult - there are hundreds of products listed and some are good - but many are bad. Here is something that I put together for you to see if that CB product you want to push through CPC (cost per click advertising) is going to make you money or make you broke. We DO NOT need any keywords - you should have done this research PRIOR to using this tool.

Now I cannot guarantee you anything. Just because you plug numbers in here and a result is shown does not mean that you will make money selling that product. There are a lot of factors to take into accounting including but not limited to skill level/experience.

Enter the expected conversion rate (the number of sales per 100 expressed as a percent). Normally for CB products unless you are selling to a pre-built list of buyers or potential buyers the conversion rate is about 1% - a safe number to start with.

Next enter the refund rate - most people will keep what they buy no matter what but some people who think it's junk will ask for a refund. I would stick with a number like 4% or 5% in some cases the ClickBank product owner may divulge refund rates.

Finally enter the amount of commission you will get for the sale. This is found in the affiliate section for any ClickBank products.

Enter your click inventory and finally enter the average cost per click. What is "click inventory" basically this means that once you've researched your keywords and if you have used Google, Google will also report the number of estimated clicks you could get for the keywords you have selected. You simply total this number and plug it into the click inventory field.

Now some clicks will cost you more, and others less that is why you use the average cost per click.

If the profit per month or profit/loss per day is NEGATIVE you probably should re-think your plan. If it is positive, then you could have a winner - but that's for YOU to decide.

Over the next week or so, I will put together a video that takes you from A to Z on how to use this tool. It will include the following:

• Quick introduction to ClickBank and the ClickBank Marketplace
• Using Google Adwords to do basic research
• Using the data gathered to plug numbers into this tool and see the results

ClickBank Product Potential Evaluator – FREE TOOL

I've made a few changes on the blog.  I've removed the header and footer advertising - I didn't like it and it allows for better posts and reading, plus less distraction. I've also been hiding out for the last little while looking at several PPC programs that I've been reviewing.  One program has since been pulled, but it will come back as a physical product.  The second is still available but I'm just getting to it now and will share what I've learned from it. I'm also working on setting up my own CPA campaigns.  I had tried PPC years ago, but fell horribly short of what I probably could achieve as I didn't really have a clue about what I was doing.  This time around I've done my research and am applying what I've learned to better use.  To that end I've finished setting up about 4-5 different blogs to market specific affiliate products and will use a mix of SEO (article writing, social bookmarking and other techniques to get visitors) and CPC marketing through Google AdWords, MSN and Yahoo.  I may consider some of the 2nd tier CPC search engines -- however have not made the final decision simply because I'm not sure of their market share and potential issues with click fraud. What have I learned so far? Picking CPA offers is easy.  Anyone can do it, you just have to perform sufficient market research and then decide.  The seasoned affiliate marketers making 4, 5 and 6 figures per month have this down.  They know what will and will not perform and market accordingly. A LOT of money can be made in the CPA world.  There is no such thing as "late entry".  Late entry exists in the sense that search engines may not allow certain marketing efforts to continue -- which is a good thing because if forces EVERYONE that is involved to clean up their act.  You've no doubt read all about the suit that Oprah has brought up.  This stemmed from marketers using Oprah and other celebrities names/images to market products and make them appear to be more legitimate.  Search engines are also cracking down on "rebill" programs (or negative rebill programs). What is a negative rebill program?  Simple.  I pay company X $2.95 for a free bottle of Acai Weight Loss or Acai Muscle Builder or Acai whatever...  They have my credit card number.  If I do not cancel within 21 days, they send me another y bottles of the product for $xx.xx.  They continue to send me bottles until I call to cancel.  So you're OPTED IN automatically instead of having the option to OPT IN. Landing pages can be as simple or as exquisite as you want, but if you use Google to advertise then the quality of those pages will determine how much (or little) you will pay per click to drive visitors to your site.  Bad pages = higher CPC, good pages (what constitutes a good page is still under debate) results in lower CPC. What is a good page?  Most people agree something that offers value to the visitor and has a proper structure - pages like Contact Us, Disclaimer, Privacy Policy etc., this makes the site more legitimate.  Think of it this way- would you shop or buy from a retail outlet that doesn't advertise their company name or won't give you a receipt for your purchase?  Probably not.  This is the equivalent.  But again what exactly constitutes a good page is debatable. Test and track.  If you want to win in this game, you must test and you MUST track.  I've registered an account with Tracking202 (http://www.tracking202.com) there is A LOT to learn!  That's why I'm not rushing to get my campaigns running.  I don't want to make the same mistakes I made last time.  Previously I spent hundreds of dollars only to see no return and no way of knowing what works and what does not. Keywords.  Keywords are your friend, but rather than relying exclusively on tools use brain power to come up with keywords.  The only analogy I can think of is the mechanic who just knew by listening to your car what was wrong and could fix it once and never have to fix the same problem again.  Become comfortable with finding keywords on your own because you never know when the tool you're using disappears. That's about all that I can think of right now.  I'll try and update you regularly as to my progress and will share with you what I've learned.  What is here in this post, is really the condensed matter you will find in many of the e-books out there - they just add more fluff to their content.  I can add fluff.  And charge you if you want. Essentially over the last few weeks I've come to the conclusion that much of the shit out there (ebooks/videos/memberships) is just that  - shit.  Everything that I've been learning, I've learned from reading FREE stuff and asking the right questions.  Have a question?  ASK ME.  I will answer you honestly.  If I don't know, I will tell you that I don't but will try and find an answer for you. The reason that most people DO NOT succeed is because they get duped.  How often have you seen "Marketer Makes $600,000 in program in one week?" - what they DIDN'T tell you is that it probably cost them $550,000 in ADVERTISING MONEY to make $600,000 -- so often you do not get the NET results but the GROSS results.  I mean I could easily tell you that I sold $5,000 worth of products in one week - but so what?  How much of that is PROFIT. Don't be duped by what you read.  Ask questions.  Follow GOOD advice and you will make money online. Mohamed

The World Of CPC and CPA Networks – Make REAL Monies Online!

These are probably not new, and scamming/spamming has been around for a while now - however this is something I've noticed over the last few months (only because I say that getting SPAM is a good thing - read the post here I Love Spam – And So Should You ). Let me put another SPIN on SPAM. Do you run CPA or are you learning how to get into the CPA game for affiliate programs?  There are two classes of individuals out there that will try and make money on this - the first will spam every bloody address that they can get no matter what and then there are those that drive traffic using CPC like Google AdWords, MSN AdCenter or Yahoo Advertising).  The spammers are in the first category... but they don't last long becuase it's pretty simple to find out their "id" and report them.  Most CPA networks don't allow spamming so if they get caught they lose their accounts... You see when they spam you, you should look to see what their e-mail message is like - read it, look at the headline - they tend to send out spam that they know will get opened based on the senders name OR the subject of the message. Once you've analyzed the message take a look at their landing page - if it is their own (though not likely otherwise you could have them shut down easily) then you can see what they are doing to get people to sign onto the offer.  Sometimes some spammers will actually point to a site of their own to LOG the click then quickly forward you to the actual landing page -- but nothing is that quick you can easily (with a little sleuthing) find out what you need to try and shut them down. ...now that leads me into my topic of spamming tricks and something that's probably not new but is targetting an entirely new group of individuals that may (or may not) be as computer/internet savvy as you and I.  Using "trusted" senders names. My name - Mohamed Bhimji - is a mix of Middle East and Indian.  The "Bhimji" part is Indian and the "Mohamed" part is Middle Eastern (you're wrong on both counts - I'm originally from Uganda -- that's in Africa).  Lately I get spam e-mails from names that I may recognize, such as Arif Zaidi, or Zaid Ibrahim, or Gabriel Hira - these are all names that I could relate to -- more so than someone sending me an e-mail with the name Carlene Rosales, or Linda Raymond only because I know my friends and those people are not on my contact list -- however the Middle Eastern names or Indian names could very well be someone that either I know or in my circle of friends. Regardless, those e-mails tend to get opened because they are names that I can associate with. How are the spammers doing this?  They probably have hundreds and thousands of names and it's quite easy to do a look-up and try and separate names based on an e-mail address into European sounding names, Asian, Middle Eastern etc.,  Most people will use either their first name, or last name as part of their e-mail address - there are others that don't but that's probably a small number (names like Twinky2468, or CoolDJ1970) but then they can target those addresses with a mix of names or multiple e-mails. As a side note, it's also interesting to note that I get 10x the amount of SPAM on my GMAIL address as I get on my YAHOO address yet my Yahoo address is the one that I use everywhere and only give out my "real" personal e-mail address to close friends and family who I hope won't spam me with stuff.
