The company generates leads that are: 1) Opted-in leads 2) Express an interest in joining an online business

The company receives leads and informs them that they are going to join an online MLM company and a representative of that company will be contacting them.

Next, their information will be entered into targeted MLM company and will become a downline.

This is a much better method because: 1) The leads are more responsive 2) The leads DO express interest in joining an online business

------------------------------------------------------------

So which method are you interested in? Remember that there is a saying: "Marketing is a numbers game". Would you like to get 1000s of "paid to join" members who have NO INTEREST in your business?

Or would you like to get 100s of interested members in your downline, with a higher chance of becoming your active downline?

There is also much talk of value of links, and nearly all of it is based on value of links in a search engines eyes, and how that will or will not improve your rankings. STOP!!! You need to get this!!! The value of a link is how many times it gets used, clicks and visits NOT rankings.

While many will object to this statement SEO is nothing more than educated guesswork, why do I say that? Simple because Google, Yahoo and MSN do NOT tell SEO experts how they order their results. Just opposite they regularly change how their results are ordered to stay one step ahead of SEO experts. Why do they do that? Because they do not want their results manipulating period! They want one thing, to deliver accurate search results.

Don't take my word for this, go and get words from horses mouth here.

If you really want to build steady long term traffic to your site, then advertise your site in every legal way you can. Yes it requires time and a consistent effort.

Have you?: Listed your site in a couple of hundred directories? Exchanged quality visible links with at least 200 sites? Exchanged banners with sites in your genre?
