Free Classifieds and Traffic Exchanges

Written by Alex Timaios


Readingrepparttar postings in different Newsgroups it becomes clear thatrepparttar 100772 "I does not work for me.." statements comes from one very clear reason: not enough Traffic. To be more accurate, it is "not enough *targeted* Traffic".

The Ability to generate targeted and low cost Traffic is crucial forrepparttar 100773 success of every internet business.

Well, what is "enough Traffic" ? Let´s take some minutes to analyzerepparttar 100774 traffic needs in detail.

Let´s say you would have a single business opportunity that you would like to advertise. This opportunity allows you to earn 10$ per Sale.

Furthermore you would like to earn 500$ in month from this opportunity alone. So would need 50 sales during this period.

In order to determinerepparttar 100775 number of clicks (traffic) you will need, you need to knowrepparttar 100776 conversion rate of your opportunity. This rate itself will depend on how targeted your traffic is. In order to make it easy, let´s assume your conversion rate is 4%, meaning that 4% of your potential buyers will purchase your product/opportunity etc.

This means that from 100 Clicks, you will get 4 sales. So you need 25 Clicks in order to make a sale (100/4). This is in fact a good conversion rate! Usually you will have such high conversions only for free stuff or by having an extremly well targeted traffic.

Considering that you wish to have 50 sales in a month, you will need thus 1250 Clicks per month.

If your conversion rate would be 0.4 % instead of 4%, you would need 10 times more, 12.500 Clicks per month. Sorepparttar 100777 next question would be where do you obtain such traffic (compare next section).

In Reality,repparttar 100778 number of Clicks to perform a sale (conversion rate), depends fromrepparttar 100779 "Quality" ofrepparttar 100780 Traffic itself.

Let´s consider an advertiser of Food for Cats starts an advertising campaign sending an Ad to everybody. Obviously for "non cat owners",repparttar 100781 Ad is absolutely irrelevant. May be some people will click torepparttar 100782 ads for curiosity, but their clicks will seldom lead to sales. The "Traffic" would be of low quality, since it is not "targeted" enough. Instead, ifrepparttar 100783 Ad is placed in an electronic magazine for Cat Owners, he will need a considerable lower number of clicks to perform sales, sincerepparttar 100784 Traffic is more "targeted" and thus, has a higher quality.

This is a simple, but very important point. Thus, "Traffic Providers" promising to send "10.000 Clicks" will lead with high probability to nowhere, sincerepparttar 100785 traffic is highly "untargeted".

-------------------------- Free Advertising --------------------------

One easy source of free traffic are Free Ads. Just type in Google (just scroll this page down to find a Google Search) "Free Classifieds" to find hundreds of free Ad sources. I personally use US-Free Ads, since they are free and offer multiple helpful options, like Tracking, Add a Picture, Paypal Button and so on. A free Account can be obtained here,

Free Advertising using Free Classifieds can be a very time consuming task andrepparttar 100786 results are overestimated atrepparttar 100787 beginning. It is recommended to considerrepparttar 100788 option to buy "featured" Ads to reducerepparttar 100789 manual effort and maximizerepparttar 100790 results.

You may need to submit your Ad to a high number of free ad providers to get really a reasonable number of clicks. ----------------- AdLandPro -----------------

Free Classifieds haverepparttar 100791 inconvenience thatrepparttar 100792 Ads are scrolled down as soon as new Ads are submitted. Thusrepparttar 100793 visibility and Click Rate are significantly reduced.

AdLandPro offers an hourly resubmission service that avoids that problem. Additionallyrepparttar 100794 Ads are submitted to hundreds of Free Classified Websites.

---------------------------- Traffic Exchanges ----------------------------

An additional source of Free Traffic are Traffic Exchanges. The working principle is similar: you provide traffic (i.e. by setting an especialWebsite as your Homepage inrepparttar 100795 Browser) and you get back traffic from other users doingrepparttar 100796 same. Usually you get Traffic in Ratio 1:2, this means you need to provide two page views to get one free page view for your business.

This sounds simple but is very practical: let´s assume you have a business selling food for pets. Obviously you are not interested to views websites related with other people trying to sell yourepparttar 100797 same. But onrepparttar 100798 other side you may be interesting to see other websites about Health&Nutrition. So you will get (=traffic exchange) Advertising from this Genre if your are interested to do so and exchange traffic for your Pet business.

The more people use Traffic Exchanges,repparttar 100799 more views you will get to your business. Furthermore, you will get additional page views (=traffic) by referring new customers. Most ofrepparttar 100800 Traffic Exchanges Systems provide also PRO Memberships, where you get paid if someone you have referred upgrade himself to PRO.

Traffic Exchanges have also a big advantage in comparison with Pay-Per-Click engines: the "cost" ofrepparttar 100801 traffic does not increase withrepparttar 100802 number of advertisers.

There are hundreds of Traffic Exchanges inrepparttar 100803 Web. I personally recommend to choose one ofrepparttar 100804 "TOP 10 Traffic Exchanges" tested by TrafficHoopla

http://www.traffichoopla.com

This company performs regular tests ofrepparttar 100805 most popular Traffic Exchanges systems onrepparttar 100806 Net and publishrepparttar 100807 results in their website.

All Traffic Exchanges allowrepparttar 100808 option to refer new members. It is important for every provider to increaserepparttar 100809 number of "clickers" to increaserepparttar 100810 number of clicks to be distributed amongrepparttar 100811 community. For every new member, you will receive a number of "credits" to be used with your own advertising.

Inrepparttar 100812 last months, a new Traffic Exchange provider started using a complex system to distribute credits calling "syndicates". Traffic Syndicate 25 organizerepparttar 100813 participants in "Syndicates". Every Syndicate hasrepparttar 100814 same number of participants. The "top 10" of every syndicate (measured byrepparttar 100815 number of surfed pages) goes one Syndicate "up", receiving traffic from all syndicates bellow. This ingenious system allows to build "downlines" without really referring new participants, just by increasingrepparttar 100816 own relative position through intensive surfing.
