Traffic Secrets By: Josh Walsh www.CadenzaWeb.com | www.Sell-Traffic.comOur Story
A few years ago, we were struggling to drive traffic to one of our websites. We were immediately overwhelmed with
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
time, so I figured at least 1 person out of 10,000 would purchase. The days went by, and my counter went crazy.
The Results
After 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
same package.
Again, I GOT NO SALES!!
I couldn't figure out what was going on. I was confident my ad's were written well. The site was well designed and planned, and my product was in demand...
I Started To Investigate
Frustrated, I started to investigate exactly where these visitors were coming from. I discovered, that I had fallen victim to one of
most common scams on
internet. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first discovered
secrets these company's use to drive traffic to
clients sites.
I checked
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
same referral, and didn't use keywords. This last fact isn't 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 company's are going to pay for their greed and dishonesty sometime in
near future.
In
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 company's do to send you traffic!
This is
most immoral, unethical, and dishonest business practice I have ever come across online. These companies know exactly what they're doing. After all, if their traffic methods work, wouldn't 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 don't 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
product every month (1% of 3,000). That means you are taking in only $750 per month (30 x $25)
With our service: Suppose
site owner (you) purchases 100,000 visitors with our service. Using our assumption that only 1% of visitors will purchase
product, a total of 1,000 purchases will be made. That's a value of$25,000! And that is if only 1% of visitors purchase
product! Think about
return on your investment!
If you're like me, you got pretty excited when you read that. After all, there's no conceivable way you can't 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 it's 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
demand of
item. I can guarantee though, that some of these company's 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 that's
case, then where are your orders? These company's place these ads right in your face when you visit their website. This way, your sold before you even see
price, and you'll buy into their high prices.
Naturally you are going to believe that you'll pay off your "investment" right away, and make a ton of extra money. After all, you spent hours writing that "perfect ad," so you're going to draw in a lot more than 1%.
I'll let you in on a secret. No matter how good your ad is, it doesn't do any good if it's never read.
You sit there and watch traffic come flying in at hyperspeed. Then they fly out. You don't make any sales. What do you do now? If you're like me, you're going to email them, complaining how you didn't make any sales from their services. They're going to tell you some variation of
following...
"I'm sorry you didn't make any sales. If you read our terms, you would see that we can only guarantee that we send
traffic to you. The sales are your responsibility. We cannot guarantee sales, because we are not involved in
writing of
advertisement."
This leaves them clean from delivering any refunds. Trust me, they won't refund your money!
Starting to get suspicious? The truth is your traffic was delivered in a misleading way.
You were sent FAKE VISITORS, or GHOST VISITORS, as they are widely called online.
Have you been tracking your traffic?
Many people don't realize that there are free scripts that you can install on your site to track detailed statistics about your traffic. I'm not talking about counters. Counters are inaccurate, plus they don't tell you anything about your visitors.
If you actually monitor your traffic, you can learn lots of things about your visitors. Including
countries they're from, their IP addresses,
time they came to your site,
time they left your site,
site's they were referred from (google, yahoo, etc..), and
keywords they used to search for your site.
