Buying Traffic – What To Think Of

Knowing where to buy your webtraffic isn’t always easy – There are a lot of factors to calculate before you start and a lot of money to save if you do it rightDon’t settle for hits if you paid for visitors

The paid traffic is often referred to as visitors on the various market places, but this isn’t always correct. There are numerous of webmasters who have paid hard earned cash for visitors, seeing no activity except the hit counters. Often these -so called visitors are nothing but automated traffic, often from autosurfs or similar.

When you buy visitors, always start with a small amount. Then, it’s time to evaluate:

• Origin of visitors

The referring pages, are they many? Few? Many pages with surf.php, surf.jsp or similar in among them? These are all factors that might point out if the traffic received are automated or actual visitors.

• Site activity

Did you get any results from your traffic? It can be hard to evaluate this when only buying a small amount of traffic if you already have much activity, but it’s something you must look into.

• Cost vs. Profit

If you can monitor what activity comes from the PPC campaign, you can easily measure the cost vs. reward. Then decide if it’s worth it or not.
Looking at these factors will make the decision to buy more visitors easier. If you are satisfied with the results – or if they at least make you a profit – keep it up. If not, buy your visitors from somewhere else – The list of sites offer PPC services is a long one.

Different website traffic brokers, have different ways of delivering – and charging – your traffic. What suits you – and your website – are impossible to say, a few of the options are:

Contextual Advertising

Contextual advertising is a great, but expensive, way of finding truly interested visitors for your keyword/key phrase. You write your own ads, making it easy to pre sell your offers before you pay for the visitor. If you do not have a specific action in mind for the visitors you are buying, you might not need contextual ads but…

General, targeted visitors

Targeted visitors – i.e. those who have showed interest in your niche – are often well converting visitors, less pricey than contextually targeted website traffic. The origin of the visitors may vary widely, be sure to monitor your activities closely. If you buy targeted traffic, make sure the referring pages are of similar nature, otherwise you are in fact paying for…

Non-targeted visitors

Very cheap website traffic, often sold in large quantities. For some websites, these kinds of visitors actually convert surprisingly well. The need for evaluation is even more important if you buy visitors in bulk. Look out for shady extensions on the referring pages; otherwise you might be paying for…

Hits instead of visitors

Sometimes the product offered is described as hits instead of visitors. This generally means the traffic received will be of very poor quality. Often this type of traffic can be generated for free, so if you are paying for it, you are probably being overcharged.

If you do decide to buy visitors, be sure to start out light. If a deal sounds to good to be true, odds are it is.

7 Steps Of Mega Adsense Earner

The Google AdSense program is like finding money in the street.

Kids in High School are making thousands of dollars a month with Adsense… Housewives, Retiree’s, Mom and Pop’s who’ve never made a dime on the Internet have created full time incomes by simply placing AdSense Ads on their web site or blog.

Then you have the “Super AdSense” earners. We have all heard of them… the Elite few who are on track to make half a million dollars a year or more promoting AdSense sites.

Do not be mistaken though… these people are not building like your Mom and Pop’s do. They have systems in place that create sites for them… people who build sites for them… they have outsourced and automated many of the tedious tasks such as posting to blogs and searching for keywords.

While most people cannot emulate everything these Super AdSense earners do… many of them you can.

Here are 7 Required Steps you can implement today to copy their success.

1) Starting today… treat your AdSense business like it is a REAL business and track what you do.

Begin tracking what you are doing that works… as well as what you are doing that does not work. This will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over, and you can repeat the steps that have worked in the past. As simple as this step seems… most people do not know the reason(s) to their success or failure.

2) Utilize the latest tools and software available.

The Super AdSense earners are not any smarter than your average person. I know many people think they are… but for the most part, they are regular non techie people.

They are smarter in one respect though… they use the latest tools available to them to automate most of the tasks involved with researching and creating sites. They use the latest keyword, site creation and search engine optimization tools available. The tools they use are their secret weapons.

3) Quit chasing the Mega Dollar keywords.

You cannot compete with the search engine experts who create sites for the $80 payout keywords. You may get lucky every now and then… but in the long run, you are better off building sites for the low to mid range payout keywords. The competition is less, and your chance of success is much higher over the long term.

4) Choose broad niches and break it down.

Choose a broad subject as your main theme (lets use computers for an example). From there… break it down into as many sub niches as possible.

Using Computers as the example… you could build sub niches/sites like laptop computers, computer hard drives, computer keyboards, etc, etc. You could literally build hundreds of sites around one major theme and stay totally focused. Once you have exhausted every possible sub niche of that major theme… choose another main theme and repeat the process.

5) KISS

Keep your sites easy to navigate and forget the fancy graphics that distract your visitors attention. Unless you are just building AdSense sites for the fun of it and to impress your friends… the purpose of having the site is to have people click on one of the ads, right? Then keep the site layout simple… dump the scrolling banners, dancing chickens and colored scroll bars… they are distractions.

6) What is the purpose of your web site?

Your web site cannot be everything to everybody. If you have a full fledged ecommerce site, with products for sale… links to other products, it is not a good site for AdSense. If the primary focus of the site is to sell products… let it do that.

Do not distract or confuse your visitor with to many options or choices. The best AdSense sites are AdSense only content sites that sell nothing. They are sites that “Tell”… not “Sell.”

7) Be consistent.

This is not one of those deals where you build one site and you are done. Refer back to Step #4. You must continuously build in order to be successful.

Think of it as planting a crop that you will harvest in a month or two, and the sites you build are seeds. Once the seeds have grown and matured… you will reap the harvest. The more seeds you plant… the larger the harvest.

To sum it up… utilize the tools available to automate as much of the process of building sites – doing research and building keyword lists as you can. This alone will help keep you organized and on track. Be consistent in building… treat it like the business it is and you will reap the rewards of your harvest.

GRUDGEMU back online

After many hours offline GRUDGEMU(www.grudgemu.com), a private MUOnline server was back online. Whew, Now I can level-up my wizard, ingame name “DJanGo”. I have been playing this game now for 3 weeks and am upto 65 resets already.

Mu Online tells that the continent of Mu, once ruled by great emperors, has fallen into wars between its many feudal lords. Antonidas, one of these lords, was deceived to bring a terrible demon onto the continent. All of the lords were killed, and without any successive ruler, the continent’s hope now remains with adventurers, that they may join their forces, defeat the demon, and restore peace to the continent.

The game world is based on James Churchward’s book The Lost Continent of Mu. Mu is one of the continents that supposedly vanished under the seas, like Lemuria and Atlantis
