You might have heard of us from some of the campaigns we launched for
previous clients. Campaigns like the diet patch, that did over 5 million dollars
per month in sales online. All the major internet marketers have heard about
us because of some of the astounding numbers we have generated for our
clients. We’re talking about running billions of ad impressions thru our
servers, driving millions of visitors to our landing pages and taking campaigns
from zero to over 5 million dollars per month in sales online.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of how we get massive amounts of traffic,
let me tell you how it all began… I rarely like to talk about it but the reason I
feel I need to tell you is so you can get an idea of where we began and where
we come from. It gives me goose bumps and even brings tears to my eyes as
I sit here and remember some of the obstacles we had to overcome just to
get to where we are today. Lupe and I got together at a very young age. I
met her in high school and we were both 16 years old when we started
dating. Lupe and I just hit it off the day we met. After we had been going
out for about a year, one day she called me and told me she was pregnant
and that we had a baby on the way. Yes, we had a baby coming at age 17.
This day changed my life forever. I remember asking myself, ― How am I going
to provide for her and the baby? We both ended up having to drop out of
high school, and get minimum wage jobs, because we had to make money to
buy diapers, baby food and get our own apartment. Our first apartment was
only about 600 square feet and this is where it all began. We started a
website and started to get traffic just like most people do online. Buying
clicks from search engines and doing search engine optimization. I remember
working really hard and staying up many nights building hundreds of pages for
all our main keywords. We started to get some decent traffic and sales
started to come in everything was going great then one day. Google decides
to ―ban our websites and we lost all of our traffic overnight!
Just picture it… You and your family are now dependent on this income
making money from search engine traffic. Seeing them do this was like
someone ripping out my heart and feeding it to the dogs. Let me ask you a
question… If search engines like Google decided to stop accepting ads for
your product or the competition drove the bid prices up so high that you
couldn’t make money anymore how would the bills for your business be paid?
What would you do if you lost all your top traffic sources? What’s your plan
to keep the traffic going? We had nothing to fall back on. We had spent years
of our life’s making this work. So in desperation I started to test all the
different ways of getting traffic online. I stumbled on how to do media buys
and to make a long story short; we got the business up to doing over 2 million
dollars per month in online sales—without any search engine traffic. We had
cracked the formula of getting traffic! And as you all already know… Our
next campaign the diet patch was an even BIGGER SUCCESS! We used the
same system with this campaign and we got it up to 5 million dollars per
month in sales online. We were getting more traffic than big brand name
companies that have been around for years. We left the competition in the
dust!
More traffic than Jenny Craig, Atkins, South Beach or even Trimspa. We
stumbled upon a whole new world of traffic. And we realized that all of the
traffic is out there, you just have to know how to negotiate, buy it and re-
channel it to your website. While everyone is competing for the same small
amount of traffic from search engines and driving the bid prices up, we
discovered how to buy unlimited amounts of traffic playing where the ―big
boys do and doing media buys. That’s the beauty of the internet. It’s a
leveled playing field. It doesn’t matter who you are, you can come in and
take over any industry even if you are a ―high school dropout like us. Until
recently, we purposely avoided the spotlight and all online publicity...
despite being one of the world’s most successful and sought after Internet
marketers.
I still feel awkward when I have to bring it up (and I tell you this only
because it’s important to help you understand how powerful the methods we
are about to reveal to you are):
null At the age of 21 we started our first mail order business from our one
bedroom apartment and got it up to $250,000.00 per month.
null At the age of 24 we took a cable box company from $100,000 per
month to two million dollars per month in sales online.
null At the age of 28 we took a ― no name weight loss company and took
it to 5 million dollars per month in online sales. Leaving big brand name
companies in the dust that have been around for years.
null At the age of 29 we started an online membership site and took it
from Zero to close to 2 million dollars per month in less than 6 months.
From Zero to close to 2 Million Dollars per Month …In Less than 6 Months
We have made millions of dollars, as online advisors helping clients to
optimize their landing pages, increase conversion rates and helping them
drive large amounts of targeted traffic thru media buys with almost every
size, shape and type of ad you can buy online, including; banners, pops,
interstitials, COREG, and CPA Networks. Bottom line, we know how to create
what we call ― Million Dollar Landing Pages and we know how to drive
massive amounts of traffic. We’ve been doing it over and over for the last 7
years, and for the last 6 months. We’ve been coaching people on how to do it
our way. Many of them have doubled and even tripled their conversion rates
by simply doing some simple changes to their websites that we have
recommend.
Here’s an example on the next page... Here’s the students old landing page:
Here’s the new ― makeover landing page: Here are the results
From 1.6% conversion rate to 3.3% sales conversion.
Most people don’t realize that search engines are a very small percentage of
traffic that is available to them. Typically search engines are less than 5% of
traffic of campaigns we run for our clients. We view search engines or Google
as just another publisher from thousands of publishers we can get traffic
from. But for most people Google or SEO is the only way they know how to
get traffic which leads to working harder and not being able to grow their
business. They work really hard to get such little amounts of traffic. It’s
pretty sad. It’s the number one reason why the overwhelming majority of
people new to the Internet will fail in achieving their dreams even if they
have a great product to sell. The problem with search engines is all your
competitors are also there, driving the bid prices up and everyone is fighting
for such little amounts of traffic. We are going to address the issues we see,
because we know from our own personal experience that our unique
perspective can really make a tremendous difference to your business, as it
has for many of our clients. We cannot sit on the sidelines anymore and allow
so many dreams fall by the wayside due to a misunderstanding of how traffic
―really works on the intern et. This report will expose those issues, one by
one, and you will gain clarity and how to use this knowledge to grow your
business. Here is your first lesson… Ignore the Search
Engines!
If you really want to grow your business, you need to stop wasting your time
with search engines. They take up to much time and too much effort and
Predictable The problem with SEO or even Google is that you can lose
your search engine rankings overnight just like it happened to us. At the
moment I thought this was the worst day in my life, losing my business from
one day to the next. I actually thank Google now for doing this, because this
―forced me to figure out other ways to get traffic and that’s when I decided
to ― just buy it and thanks to this Incident, I was forced to figure out other
ways of getting traffic and we were able to get the business back to over 2
million dollars per month in sales. Reason # 4 – Buying Media is
Controllable Unlike Google or SEO traffic where if we make a few
changes we risk losing that traffic. With media buys we are in full control.
there’s not enough traffic. Reason # 1 – Buying Media Brings
Traffic Immediately We can place a few media buys and instantly
within 24 hours be getting millions of visitors. We pull the trigger and BOOM
look what happens with our Alexa ranking…
Reason # 2 – Buying Media is Scalable The problem with search
engines is that there is a ―volume cap on the
amount of traffic we can buy. With media buying we can quickly scale up our
traffic without ―volume caps.
Reason # 3 – Buying Media is
With media buys we are in full control of the traffic, we can redirect it, stop
it, start it, increase it, slow it down, pause it. Send a percentage to banner
ad A, or a percentage to landing page B, we are in full control of the traffic
just like the ―remote control on a TV. To kick things off, we’re going to
show you the exact step by step system we have used to generate more
traffic than some of the biggest fortune 500 companies without Google, PPC,
or search engine optimization… But first, it’s important that you understand
where online advertising is at today and put it in perspective with traditional
business….
Putting Online Advertising into Perspective Before we dive
into the step by step mass traffic system, we need to step back and put
online advertising into perspective. You need to see how it fits into the larger
world of ―business. Looking at how tradit ional advertising has evolved will
give you some idea of where the current state of advertising is, and how it’s
changing. Understanding the current state (maturity) of advertising is critical
to your long term success. Now first of all, online advertising is heating up
again. In fact, just this morning I read an article of how banner advertising is
now the fastest growing vehicle for advertising. More and more companies
are realizing the power of buying media online and switching their marketing
budgets to buying online ads. Why Are They Doing This? It’s
simple, because it’s so much more cost effective. You can track results
instantly and see if an online media buy is giving you an ROI instead of
waiting for months or after spending thousands of dollars as you do with
traditional print, radio or TV advertising. And once you ―test and identify
what works, it can be scaled up very quickly. This is why we have been able
to take campaigns from zero and get them up to making millions of dollars
per month within a few months. One of the big advantages of online media is
that you can target people better than you can with traditional advertising.
For example with our diet patch campaign, we started to ask people their
gender and age on our order page, and identified that most of the buyers
were women between the age of 19-54.
Now that we knew this and knew the exact demographic of people buying the
product we went to big sites like Yahoo that have billions of impressions to
sell on a monthly basis and strategically placed banner ads with them to
reach and target the people we know will buy the product. For example we
placed a strategic media buy in the Yahoo mail section targeting only women
ages 19-54. Sites like Yahoo can send tons of targeted traffic of the exact
buyer demographic because when someone registers for a free email account
with Yahoo they are required to give this information as part of the
registration process. Just so you get an idea of how much traffic you can get
with banner ads take a look at this insertion order for Yahoo:
And this is an insertion order with just one publisher. Now that we
identified the demographic of how buys the product what do you think was
the next logical step? Exactly… Go and get MORE Traffic from other high
volume sites that can offer the same targeting like AOL, MSN, Lycos, and tons
of other sites that get tons of traffic with registered users. Take a look at
some of our other insertion orders for the diet patch campaign…
Here is an Insertion Order from Fast Click: This Traffic Deal is for
$370,000.00. Here is an Insertion Order from Weather Bug: This is for 1.3
Million Dollars worth of traffic.
This is how we were able to get our diet patch campaign doing 5 million
dollars per month in sales. And that was only with about 500 million
impressions per month. Take a look at how many impressions are available
on a monthly basis from just some of the Ad networks… (These are Billions
of impressions on a monthly basis!) The Reality is…. There is more traffic
than you can ever buy or negotiate getting on credit which I’ll show you how
to do this in a second. You just have to know how to identify what high
volume websites your prospects are hanging out on and ―re-channel them to
your website by simply running ads and standing in front of traffic. This is no
different than traditional offline magazine advertising. For example if you
were selling a product that is mostly purchased by men, logically you would
run your ads in magazines that are mostly read by men.
Magazines like: If you are selling a product that is mostly used by women
for example a wrinkle cream product, you would run your ads in women
magazines. Magazines like:
The internet is no different. If you are selling a product that is mostly
used by women then you run your ads in high traffic websites that are mostly
visited by women. For example for our diet patch campaign we ran ads is
sites like:
Now let’s say you have a product that is more niche, you are probably asking
yourself ―will this work for my product? Well let’s find out. Keep reading…
If we have a product that is more specialized for a specific market, what we
do is use sites like Alexa.com and Ranking.com to find high volume websites
that are specific to the product that we can get large amounts of targeted
traffic from. Alexa lists all the highest trafficked websites for any specific
category and puts them in order of who is getting the most traffic. All we do
is contact those websites directly and buy ads from them. This is extremely
targeted traffic. Because people that are visiting these websites because they
are interested in your ― category
For example one of the persons that signed up for our coaching program, sells
an info product on ―How to Train Your Horse Now normally you would think
the only way to advertise this product online is with Google, PPC or SEO. But
if you do a quick look up in Alexa: You’ll see that there are over 10,000
websites related to horses that he can get targeted traffic from: This
Works for Pretty Much Any Product or Service… Here are
some examples: Let’s say you have a product that fits into some of these
random categories I picked out from Alexa. For example let’s say you have a
product that mostly men purchase. You can reach these buyers by running ads
on websites where mostly men hang out for example sports websites. Take a
close look at how many websites you can get traffic from on some of these
niche categories:

your prospect hangs out! What if you are just starting out and don’t have a
product?
Having a product is not a requirement to make a lot of money in this game.
We have made millions of dollars by simply "redirecting" traffic to other
websites and sending traffic to high converting offers on the CPA Networks.
The CPA Networks have made it really easy for you to send them traffic and
make money, and they are always looking for people that know how to drive
large amounts of traffic. CPA Networks work similar to EBay they connect
publishers (traffic providers) with Advertisers (people with a product to sell.)
The CPA Network makes it a win/win for all 3 types of people involved:
Advertisers: If you have a product, CPA Networks give you access to
thousands of affiliates that can send you traffic on a straight commission
basis. So if you are an advertiser this is a huge source of traffic to tap into:
Key Point : CPA Networks can dramatically increase your traffic
Publishers: If you have traffic, an email list, or can generate traffic.
CPA Networks give you access to thousands of products to promote to make
more money from your assets (eye balls) or traffic skills.
(As a publisher CPA Networks give you the opportunity to make more money)
(More money from your lists, website or traffic skills)
The CPA Network: Acts as the ―broker between the advertisers and
publishers and gets a ―piece of the pie for co nnecting publishers and
advertisers.
(CPA Networks connect advertisers and publishers) (Advertisers get access
to more traffic)

Knowing how to drive traffic is the most important skill you can learn because
every online business needs more traffic but just doesn't know how to get it.
Most of them are limited to just getting traffic from Google or search engines
which is a VERY small fraction of traffic that is available to them. In fact...
With most of our campaigns search traffic has been less than 5% of our
traffic, and we normally buy the number one spot from all the major search
engines for all of our keywords. Traffic is the most important thing every
online business wants to get more of but just doesn’t know how. We have
made millions of dollars just re-channeling traffic to other businesses with
high converting offers on the CPA Networks. You can simply "re-channel"
traffic to other businesses thru the CPA Networks and you don't have to worry
about fulfillment, customer service, merchant accounts or deal with any of
the day to day headaches of having your own product. And here's the best
money from.
From 7 years of breathing, eating, and living internet marketing. We’ve come
to a simple discovery that once you grasp it. You’ll be able to grow your
business faster than you ever thought possible. You see… We discovered
that there are only two ways to grow your business, and once you understand
this you can delegate and outsource everything else that eats up all your time
on a daily basis so you can focus on what’s really important and that’s
growing your business. These Are The Two things:
1. More Eyeballs – The more eyeballs we get, the more sales you we
get. It’s simply a numbers game.
The more people that see our ads, the more clicks and visitors we get, the
more visitors we get, the more people that buy the product. It really is that
simple. That’s why knowing how to generate traffic for your business is so
important. The more traffic you get the more money you make.
2. Making More Money Per Eyeball – The more money we make for each
person that sees our offer, the more money we make, that’s why it’s so
important for us to optimize our ads, and our entire sales process.
If you focus all your energy on these two things, you are guaranteed to grow
your business. I know you are probably thinking, there has to be other ways
to grow my business what about cutting costs, well if you cut costs you are
essentially making more money per eyeball.
Here are the main things we focus on:
Finding and cutting deals with new websites that have millions of
hungry prospects ready to buy our product.
Optimizing our ads to get more clicks/visitors
Creating enticing landing pages that give people a reason to give us
their name, email address, and phone number and capturing as many of these
when people go thru our sales process.
part... If you decide or are planning to roll out your own product, you can
simply take all your traffic and "re-direct it" to your own website.

engine game and understanding ―the right metrics is key. Most marketers’
online think they understand metrics but they don’t fully understand the
―key metrics when it comes to media bu ying or working with CPA Networks.
Knowing your numbers by using these metrics is a life or death situation in
this game. It still surprises me to see how many marketers don’t properly
measure their campaigns online. The only way to fine tune an offer and get it
to doing millions of dollars is by knowing your numbers. These metrics make
it easy to measure your media buys, spot opportunities, so you know exactly
where to crank up the volume, where to ―plug in any ―leaky holes and
effectively manage your media buys. Let’s take a look at a few of
the key metrics: CPM (cost per thousand)
This is the most common metric used when buying or selling media. It’s based
of every 1000 impressions. In other words it’s for every 1000 eyeballs. It’s
basically what rate you are paying for every 1000 times your ad is shown.
Calculating the CPM rate involves a very simple formula: Total Impressions
CPM = ---------------------- X CPM Price 1000 CPV (cost per view) Some
These are the money making activities you need to be focusing on. And one
of the most important things is to make sure you are using the right metrics
when optimizing your campaign. This game is very different than the search
big publishers like Zango sell their traffic on a CPV basis, which means you
can pay as low as a penny per visitor that sees your landing page. Now this
metric can be a little deceiving because usually the sales reps will present
this to you as you are only paying $0.01 (one penny) per visitor, when in
reality if you convert this metric to CPM it’s really costing you $10.00 CPM for
that traffic. (This is way more expensive than typical banner impressions.) To
convert CPV to CPM use this simple formula: CPM = CPV x 1000 For example
let’s say they are charging you $0.025 CPV if you multiply this by 1000 that
means you are paying $25.00 CPM for the traffic. CPA (cost per
action)
This is a very important metric, get this wrong and you can potentially screw
up the whole campaign for good. Your CPA is how much are you willing to pay
to get a new conversion i.e. (sale, lead, download etc.) now the trick here is
your CPA needs to be high enough to entice big publishers and the CPA
Networks that can send you thousands of orders, and low enough to where
you are still making a profit. So figuring out your LCV (LCV is explained below)
is key. LCV (Life time customer value) This important metric
represents exactly how much each customer is worth in dollar terms for the
lifetime of the customer, and identifies what’s the most you can spend to
acquire a new customer. It should be your goal to spend less to acquire a
customer than this figure, so you can turn a profit. Your LCV (life time
customer value) is a very important number to know. (Because your entire
marketing campaign will revolve around this number.) eCPA (effective
cost per action) This metric is very useful when buying media. Because
it tells you how much it’s costing you to get a new customer with that
specific traffic source, even if you are paying for the traffic on a CPM, CPC,
or CPV basis. eCPA is calculated as follows: Total spent for ad buy
eCPA = --------------------------- Total Conversions For example let’s say
you are testing a new traffic source and so far you have spent $100 and have
generated 5 sales. That puts your eCPA at $20.00 (It’s costing you $20.00 to
get a new customer)
EPC (earnings per click) The earnings per click metric describes
how effective your sales process is at turning unique visitors into money.
EPC is calculated as follows: Total Revenue of Site EPC = ------
-------------- Total Visitors For example let’s say your site made
$25,000.00 for the month and you had a total of 20,000 visitors. That would
put your EPC at $1.25 This means you make on average $1.25 every time
someone goes to your site whether they buy or not. Your goal should be to
maximize your revenue per visitor. This is one of the most important metrics
for testing, and optimizing your sales process because it maximizes revenue
and evenly distributes the number of visitors. This metric is also used by the
CPA networks to compare the performance of your campaign compared to
other offers on the network. An affiliate’s goal is to make as much money as
they can with their traffic, so most smart publishers will use this metric to
decide if they are going to be sending you traffic. So before going to the CPA
Networks you need to make sure you have the highest EPC in your category if
you want to take over the market like we did and have all the big affiliates
promoting your offer.
eCPC (effective cost per click) The effective cost per click metric
is very useful when buying media on a CPM basis. Because it allows you to get
an idea right away what it’s going to cost you to get a visitor from that
specific traffic source. And if you know your EPC (explained above) you can
get an idea right away if that traffic is going to convert for you before
wasting too much money. eCPC is calculated as follows: Total
spent so far eCPC = --------------------------- Total Visitors For example
let’s say you are testing a new traffic source and so far you have spent $100
and have generated 100 clicks. That puts your eCPC at $1.00 (It’s costing you
$1.00 to generate a click/visitor) and because you know your EPC (earnings
per click) you can get an idea right away if that traffic pool is going to be
profitable or not. eCPM (earnings per thousand) This is a metric
used to measure the effectiveness of the campaign whether it’s bought or
sold on a CPM, CPC, CPA or CPV basis. This metric is very important when
testing creative and new traffic pools because it will tell you what is the
highest CPM (explained above) you can pay for that traffic. Calculating this
metric and using it to renegotiate CPM rates with publishers is key because
you can show them the numbers and get them to lower your rates to make a
traffic pool profitable that would otherwise be in the red. Calculating the
eCPM involves a very simple formula:
Total Revenue or Ad Spend eCPM = ---------------------- X 1000
Total Impressions For example let’s say you got $2500.00 worth of sales on
an ad buy for 1 million impressions. The eCPM for the campaign would be
$2.50. That means you can pay up to $2.50 CPM for this traffic without losing
money. This metric is also used by publishers to compare the performance of
your campaign. A publisher’s goal is to make as much money as they can with
their traffic, so the higher your eCPM the more traffic you will get, especially
when dealing with publishers that are sending you traffic on a performance
basis like CPA Networks. Now if you are starting to think ― wow I’m getting a
headache just thinking I have to memorize all the formulas for these key
metrics. There’s good news… A great Ad server (which is our biggest
weapon in this game) will automatically calculate and give us all the key
reports for most of these key metrics. And if you are going to play this game
using an Adserver is a must.
An Adserver is the most powerful tool we use to manage all our traffic and
media buys. This is one of the most powerful if not ― the most powerful tools
there is for internet marketing. In fact…
It is so powerful that Google just paid DoubleClick over 3 billion dollars to get
their hands on this powerful technology. An Adserver allows us to serve,
target, split test and track all kinds of different ads we buy from websites.
It’s like the ― cock pit of a jet for our internet marketing, where we have all
the ―gauges in front of us to see and cont rol all of our traffic. With the ad
server we can quickly and easily analyze the effectiveness of all our ads,
campaigns, and traffic sources. Not only can we see how many times the ad
was viewed (impressions) but also know how many of these impressions
converted into clicks, and how many of these clicks converted into sales for
every single ad we have in rotation. This makes it very easy to quickly test
headlines, call to actions to quickly find out what works. I mean we can
literarily find out in hours which headlines we should be using on our ads and
landing pages. And as you already know having the right headline can double
even triple your conversion rates.
We can quickly see which traffic sources are making us the most money: (So
we know which traffic sources you should crank up the traffic on) It allows
us to rotate and test different ads: (We can rotate as many ads as we want)
We can see which creatives are making us the most money:
(So we can see what headlines and copy is working best) It gives us all the
reports and intelligence we need to identify which traffic pools and creatives
are either losing or making money. (So we know exactly where to crank up
the volume for maximum profits) It is very important that you have full
control of serving and optimizing your ads. That’s why having your own
Adserver account is key. In this game you can’t try to guess what’s working
and what’s not – you have to know exactly what changes you need to do to
your ads to make the campaign profitable. An Adserver allow us to do that. It
gives us all the key numbers we need at our finger tips to make critical
decisions based off the numbers and not of our emotions or logic. It gives us
the ability to quickly add new ads in rotation to split test and get that traffic
to convert. (Most traffic pools are in the red in the beginning until we
optimize) One of the biggest mistakes marketers make is rely on the ad
networks to serve their ads and rely on them to optimize the campaign. The
reality is that no one cares as much about the campaign as you do. Relying on
an ad network to serve and manage your campaign is like having someone
else raise your new born child. No one is going to care as much as you do.
If you don’t know how to use an Adserver you are really missing the big
picture of what internet marketing is really all about. Now there are many
vendors that license their ad serving technology, and each of them will have
pros and cons with features. I know because I have researched all of them.
Here are some of the main things to look for, when choosing ad Adserver
provider:
1. PostClick Tracking – You want to make sure that you can track and
optimize on post click actions like sales, opt-ins, etc. One of the best ways to
optimize a campaign is by eCPM so make sure the vendor offers and allows
you to create your own post click pixels and allows post click optimization.
2. Custom Reports – You want to make sure you can run custom reports
on not just impressions and clicks. You need to be able to see how much
money was spent and how much profit was made with each traffic source and
creative that you have in rotation. Some of the vendors allow you to create a
custom report then schedule it so it sends it out daily to you and your team.
(This is a big plus) because looking at your numbers and optimizing the
campaign at least once a day is a must in this game.
3. Flexible Payouts – When you are out there buying traffic you are
going to run into publishers that sell their traffic not just on a CPM or CPC
basis but for a flat sponsorship rate, a CPV, or even CPA basis. So the
Adserver should allow for these different types of payouts to be entered into
the system, otherwise it becomes a headache having to calculate the
numbers reportly to figure out if you are in the red or green.
4. Custom Optimization – You want the ability to optimize your
campaigns other than by CTR (click thru rate) just because an ad has the
highest click thru rate does not necessarily mean it’s the most profitable ad
and the one getting sales at the lowest cost per
sale. Make sure you can create custom optimizers and have the ability
to custom optimize the campaign according to whatever your campaign goals
are. If your goal is to optimize the campaign to get the most possible sales at
the lowest possible cost like it is for most marketers then you need to have
the ability to optimize by eCPM. (Earnings per thousand)
5. Advanced Targeting – Some of the vendors offer advanced targeting
features like behavioral targeting, remarketing, day part targeting etc… (See
targeting section on this report) this will really make a big difference to your
numbers.
Bottom line is an Adserver is a must if you want to play with the big boys,
and make sure you do your homework before signing a contract and ensure
that the ad serving solution is going to be able to meet your need. Note I did
not mention price, because that is one of the last things I look at. It’s not
how much does it cost, its how much it can make me. This is the mindset of
successful entrepreneurs. Remember. TRACK…TRACK…TRACK….this can’t be
stressed enough because it’s very, very crucial to your online success. With
an Ad Server you’ll be in control of all the ads that are being served and have
all the numbers centralized at your finger tips (like your command center) to
allow you to get the crucial data you need to make the right decisions and
maximize your profits.

I’m not just an expert in traffic and conversion. I’m a person who has made
millions of dollars from internet sales and has remained a student of traffic
and conversion. And besides who wants to be AN expert when you can be
―THE Expert I've spent most of my time marketing on the Internet and
making money. (A lot of money.) I have discovered many things. Things to
this day that 99.9% of people using the Internet have no clue about I have
spent the last 8 years of my life living, breathing, conducting thousands of
split tests, and running experiments with billions of ad impressions and
testing all kinds of crazy things with the millions of visitors going thru our
landing pages When practically every major TV station, newspaper and
magazines were freaking out over the 'Dot Com' bust, I was laughing… Yes
laughing! I was laughing because even at that time, our campaigns were
making over a million dollars per month online. While everyone was losing
tons of money and having no clue what they are doing… We figured out how
to make millions of dollars. A good friend of ours Yanik Silver that hosts the
Underground Seminar and brings in the world’s top internet marketers has
been inviting us for years to present at his event. Since he was so persistent
Lupe and I finally agreed to do it.
And we didn’t even have anything to sell or offer people at first, and after
calling some of our other friends that are speakers they suggested that we
have some kind of training program because they knew people would be
interested in learning more after they heard what kind of traffic we know
how to drive. We decided to offer a coaching program and to be honest we
didn’t want a lot of people to sign up because our time is very valuable, so
we decided to price it high ($25,000.00) so that we only had to work with a
handful of people. We did our first presentation on stage and people we’re
blown away and rushed to the back of the room to sign up for our $25,000.00
coaching program. We got flooded with sign ups and since we weren’t set up
to take that many people at that time we had to turn a lot of them down.
People are still buzzing about that presentation to this day. We still receive
comments about it all the time. If you haven’t seen it you can check out the
seminar presentation video by clicking here We have spent the last few
months documenting and making step by step videos, templates, and creating
a private student members area, for these students that signed up since I
didn’t want to explain it over and over and having to show each of them one
by one how this all works. These videos show step by step the exact process I
use to generate more traffic than some of the biggest fortune 500 companies.
It’s like if you were sitting next to me and watching my computer screen as I
go thru the process of taking an offer from scratch to making millions of
dollars per month online. But I am getting way ahead of myself here. I still
have more I want to share with you. So, back to the purpose of this Traffic
Tactics Report, your Internet business:
With my first offer, we literarily went from doing 50 sales a day to doing 800
sales in a single day. (That’s over $200,000.00 in sales in one day) I
remember that day vividly. I remember looking at my stats and I couldn’t
believe what I was seeing on my computer screen as I was looking at my stats.
My jaw just dropped. I would hit ―refresh on my browser and every time I
hit the refresh button, more and more orders just kept flooding in. Lupe and
I looked at each other and we just couldn’t believe it. It felt like we had just
won the lottery. The orders were just pouring in. My heart was beating with
excitement; we started screaming and jumping up and down… Have you ever
seen that commercial on TV where they are looking at the numbers and the
numbers just kept growing and growing, and growing and everyone is jumping
and screaming with excitement but after a few minutes their faces turn from
being excited to being worried? Well that’s what happened to us after a few
minutes Lupe said ―do we even have that many boxes to ship? And our faces
changed from being excited to being worried. Now we had a big problem
on our hands…. We got over 2 million dollars in sales but didn’t have enough
inventory to fulfill all the orders. We called the manufacturer and they said
that it would take them at least six weeks to send that many units.
We even called all the competition to buy their inventory to try and fulfill all
the orders, but there was just not enough inventory to supply 2 million dollars
worth of sales. Customers started calling and flooding our call center after
about 10 days asking for the status of their order. We couldn’t even handle
all the inbound calls and people started calling the 800 number they got from
the automatic email confirmation from Pay Systems the merchant account
company that was processing our credit cards. Pay Systems panics and they
decide to shut down our merchant account and refund every single card.
(Even people that were shipped out a unit) It was a nightmare. Now we owed
money to the publishers that were giving us traffic on credit, the call center,
the fulfillment house, and we had just shipped out our entire inventory and
had zero. Lots of people were owed money and just when we thought we had
―hit the jack pot it all came tumbling down because we did not have the
infrastructure in place to handle the amount of traffic and amount of orders.
I am telling you this story so that you don’t make the same mistakes we did.
It can be very dangerous if you ramp up the traffic too fast. So before you
slam on the gas pedal, (because it’s very easy, tempting, and actually kind of
irresistible to do when you get to this point) MAKE SURE you have an
infrastructure in place that can handle, everything else that comes with a
flood of traffic and orders. Make sure your servers can handle the volume,
(servers is another story imagine getting 50k of paid traffic per day and your
servers going into melt down because they weren’t set up properly to handle
the traffic) Make sure that your call center is going to be able to handle the
spike of incoming calls for orders and customer support.
Make sure that that you have multiple merchant accounts (This is another big
one, once you start processing this much money it becomes a problem to
process all the money. We were literary ―Blowing up merchant accounts
because we would process a million dollars within days and the merchant
accounts would freak out and freeze the account for six months. So it became
a game just having multiple merchant accounts and rotating the money
between them.) You need to make sure you have multiple merchant
accounts and don’t make the mistake of ―putting all your eggs in one basket
like we did in the beginning. Make sure that your fulfillment house is going to
be able to handle the flood of orders and most important make sure that you
have access to enough inventory if you are selling a physical product. Ok now
that we have covered the basics, let’s talk about traffic. Here is the roll out
strategy we use now: When ramping up traffic with your media buys it
needs to be done strategically. Here is the roll out strategy we follow once
all the infrastructure I just talked about above is in place:
1. Take advantage of all the mass ways of getting traffic – Below is a
list of the most effective ways we have found to get a lot of traffic. Each
method has its own unique roll out strategy, so pay close attention.
Banners – There are billions of banner impressions up for grabs on a
monthly basis, start placing test buys for banners in all shapes and sizes. Have
your top performing banners resized for all the different sizes and loaded into
your Adserver.
Billions of banner impressions available on a monthly basis: Start buying and
testing banners in all shapes and sizes. I like testing any new traffic pools
with my top 5-10 performing banner ads this way I have a higher chance at
converting the traffic. After I test multiple traffic pools what I usually find is
that from about 100 traffic pools tested, 20 will be home runs another 20-30
will be around break even and need further optimization and over 50% of
them need to be killed right away. (Using your 24 hour out clause
This is a numbers game and it’s all about finding and ramping up the winners
and getting rid of the losers as fast as possible. The banner ad is the most
popular ad unit on the internet and must be part of your portfolio or you are
leaving tons of money on the table. In fact … The IAB (Internet Advertising
Bureau) reports that Banner ads currently account for 50% of all USA Internet
advertising. So banner ads are a must in your online marketing.
Pops – These are annoying for people but very effective. With the
right copy your click thru rates will be thru the roof. I usually get a 10 to 30
times higher click thru rates with Pops VS Banners. They are more expensive
than banners but well worth it.
(Pops are annoying for people but very effective) (We normally see a 10 to
30 times higher click thru rate VS banners)
Interstitials – These are very effective because people are forced to
see them and are forced to take an action before moving to the next page.
(Interstitials are very effective form of advertising)
(Sometimes you can even load your entire landing page) IMPORTANT: Make
sure your headline and call to action is clearly above the fold if you are
spawning your landing page as an interstitial.
Text Ads – Good old fashioned text ads are great because we can pick
them up cheaper than banners, and as long as we use our powerful, proven ad
copy They Kill IT!
(Text Ads are great because they are cheaper than banners) Some Ad
networks like Adbrite specialize in text ads and have tons of text ad
impressions you can pick up. Don’t overlook these ―good old fashioned
simple but very powerful ads when done right:
There are tons of text ad impressions you can pick up: Take a look above…
over 530 million/day on over 19,000 sites
CPV TRAFFIC (Cost Per View Traffic) – This traffic is great because
you can get extremely targeted traffic and have your entire landing page pop
up whenever someone enters one of the keywords you are targeting into a
search engine or when someone goes to a competitor site:
With CPV traffic you can get extremely targeted traffic: You can reach
people at the precise moment they want to buy your product.
Check out this example: Netflix pops their landing page when someone visits
Blockbuster. Do you see how powerful this is? Note: Having the right
targeting in place with your CPV campaigns is very important. Make sure you
are targeting keywords and URLS that will send you traffic that converts.
Email drops – Email is still one of the most effective ways to quickly
reach millions of people. And it’s one of the fastest ways to test copy because
you can quickly test subject lines and then use those as killer headlines in
your creative and landing pages.
With email you want to test small with the first drop. Send enough to just
get some metrics and once you know it converts show the ECPM (Earnings per
thousand) to the publisher and convert it to a CPA (Cost Per Action) deal and
have them blast it to their entire list once a week until the list stops
converting.
If you keep using fresh creative and subject lines you can get a long run from
each list to maximize the profits from each list.
Email is still one of the fastest ways to reach millions of people: Test
small with many lists … then blast to the entire lists.
Co-Registration – Now that you have your lean, mean, data machine
set up to close the COREG leads and turn them into cash, go out and test as
many COREG publishers as possible. Test small find the winners and increase
the volume on the ones that convert slowly with COREG. Remember: You
need to increase the daily caps slowly with COREG and make sure the
campaign stays in the green while you are cranking up the volume to
maximum power with each COREG publisher.
Turn COREG Leads into Cash: (Close with real time voice broadcasting
and auto responders)
CPA Networks – Get the offer published on all the major CPA
Networks, call each and every one of them individually. Show them the stats
of the great results the other CPA Networks are getting and send them a pre-
pay and IO to get the offer live on their network and exposed to affiliates.
Since you know the offer is going to ―kick ass as soon as they test it because
you already did all your homework, the initial goal is to just get them to list
the offer on the network and get their main publishers to test it. After that
the numbers will speak for themselves
and if you have followed the Mass Traffic System steps one thru step six, the
publishers will go nuts and start hammering the offer with traffic. Once the
offer is running, advertise the offer in all the major newsletters, and
magazines affiliates read to get more exposure. Call each of the CPA
Networks and get them to list your offer in their Login/featured offers page
and to also send an email to their publishers to let them know that the offer
is hot, converting like crazy and that they should test it. Keep making your
EPC go up - Do the opposite of most offers, while other offers die and
response rates go down make your offer the opposite by having its conversion
rates constantly improving and making your publishers even more money.
Remember - The more affiliates make, the more traffic you'll get! Go after
all the top Ad networks – these are the guys that can deliver some serious
amounts of traffic because each of them has thousands of high traffic
websites on their network, and cutting one deal can get your offer running on
thousands of websites.
One IO can get you on thousands of websites:
The Ad networks can deliver some serious traffic. Now one of the most
important things when working with ad networks is identifying which
segments of their traffic will convert for your offer. This is where most
marketers screw up when working with ad networks. It’s your job to make
sure you are targeting the campaign correctly to get the traffic to convert.
Here are a few things you can do:
Request to have them pixel optimize the campaign: You can have
the ad network generate a tracking pixel from their Adserver so you can
install it on your conversion conformation page (usually your thank you page.)
Let the ad network know what the CPA goal (Cost Per Acquisition Goal) is for
the campaign and work with them on removing any sites on the ad network
that are not delivering traffic at the CPA goal or less.
Now if there are thousands of sites your ads are running on it will take a
while to fully optimize the campaign because enough traffic has to be
delivered to each site before they have enough data to know if they should
remove the site from rotation or not. One of the biggest mistakes marketers
make is to cancel the IO right away because the traffic is not converting,
when they don’t understand that the campaign needs to deliver enough
traffic to each site to optimize properly. The problem is that if there are
thousands of sites on the network depending on what the CPA goal is it may
take thousands of dollars before the campaign is optimized.
We have had buys that are big time in the red in the beginning but after
serving thousands of dollars to optimize the campaign and identify which sites
are converting these traffic pools that were in
the red in the beginning become some of most high volume and profitable
traffic sources that deliver qualified traffic month after month!
Identity what channels convert for your offer: Almost every ad
network can deliver large amounts of channel targeted traffic. So it’s very
important that you identify what kinds of channels convert for your offer. For
example with the diet patch campaign we identified that the women’s and
health channels did very well for us. Once you identify which channels
(buckets of categorized traffic) convert for your offer you want to test
channel targeted traffic with each of the major ad networks.
Identify what channels convert for your offer:
Key Point: Get channel targeted traffic from each major ad network.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you use a separate ad server tag for each
channel so you can identify which channel is converting better when running
on multiple channels.
Test RON Traffic (Run of Network) – This traffic is the cheapest and
the traffic where you can get the most volume from the ad network. RON
means that your ads will run across the ENTIRE network. That means if the ad
network has 5000 sites your ad will be served across all 5000 sites on the
network. As you can see this will get you a ton of traffic at very low rates.
But it’s also the hardest traffic to convert because it’s so untargeted.
The secret is to have the ad network pixel optimize the campaign (as I
explained above) and identify which of the sites in the network convert for
your offer and remove any sites that are not converting from rotation. Now
you’ll have EXTREMLY targeted traffic at dirt cheap RON prices. This is how I
was able to get the diet patch campaign to doing 5 million dollars per month.
Pixel optimization is very powerful, how powerful? Take a look at these
numbers from one of the Ad networks: Pixel optimization will
DRAMATICALLY improve performance:
(4000% Average uplift in performance is no joke) Most marketers make the
mistake when first working with ad networks and buy the cheapest traffic
they are offered (RON) and after they test it they are disappointed with the
results because they got a lot of traffic but it didn’t convert because it was so
untargeted. Pixel optimization is key but most marketers don’t even
understand this concept so you now have a massive advantage.
Competitor Placements – One of the best ways to get traffic that
converts when working with ad networks is to talk to your rep and tell them
you want to test placements where other similar advertisers are running.
The competition has already done all the work, tested placements and
figured out what works. Why reinvent the wheel? And go thru the hassle of
wasting all that time and thousands of dollars to figure out what works when
someone has already done all the legwork? This is so obvious but most people
don’t even think about this. Including the sales reps unless you bring it up.
The sales reps will gladly tell you where the competition is running because
they want to sell you ad space, and if the competition has been running there
for a while, that means the traffic is converting for them otherwise they
wouldn’t be spending thousands of dollars month after month.
This game is about identifying what works, and leveraging what has already
been proven to work. And if you have done your homework you should have a
better sales process and creative than the competition which means you can
outbid them for the traffic and take over all the traffic. This is how we have
always been able to crush the competition check it out: (Crushing the
competition) (Leaving companies that have been around for years in the
dust) Remember: Don’t reinvent the ―wheel leverage what works!
Ad Networks can send you more visitors than you would have ever imagined.
Just to emphasize the strength of these networks – Google, for example is the
number one search engine right now, and although it’s
very popular the amount of traffic we get from Google from our campaigns is
less than 5% of our traffic. Google can’t compete or even come close to the
amount of traffic they can send. You can get thousands of visitors from
Google but you can get millions of visitors from Ad Networks. Plus with
Banner Traffic you can get customers in at a lower cost. Take a look…
Google Vs Banner Traffic (With Google it’s costing $36.58 to get a
customer) Now let’s compare that to banner traffic… (With Banner traffic
it’s only costing $4.27 per sale)
Not only can it cheaper but there’s a lot more traffic with Ad Networks.
Just take a look at how much traffic is available with Ad Networks: Those
are BILLIONS of impressions on a monthly basis and cutting one deal can get
your ads on thousands of sites instantly.
Google can’t even come close to this kind of traffic. So if you want serious
traffic, you need to go to the Ad Networks.
Additional Resource: Want a list of ―The top 10 Ad Networks? We’ve
compiled a list of The Top 10 Ad Networks to help you get started. One of
the most important things you can do to make sure the traffic converts is to
have the campaign targeted correctly. There are various ways of targeting
your ad buys and it’s very important that you understand how banner
targeting works and that you identify what types of targeting or combination
of targeting works best for your specific campaign. Behavior
Targeting: One of the newest and most effective ways to target people
when they are ready to buy your product is with behavioral targeting. What
is Behavioral Targeting? Behavioral targeting tracks consumer Internet
activity. It tracks websites people have visited, links or ads that they have
clicked on to determine a user’s individual interest in buying your product or
service. Once a potential customer triggers a ―behavior (like clicking on
link, visiting a type of website, etc.) behavioral targeting follows the
potential customer around the Web. As the potential customer visits new
websites that are part of the ad network you can serve this potential
customer behavioral ads for your specific product.
It’s like if you were interested in buying a new TV and you go to Best Buy to
check out some TV’s but decide to do more research, and now as you surf the
internet visiting sites you normally visit like reading the news online,
checking your email or checking the weather online you start getting ads with
specials on TV’s. What does this mean for you? This means you have power!
It means you can target people and serve them extremely targeted ads only
and at the time they are interested in buying your specific product. For
example let’s say you are selling car insurance or mortgages online. You can
target your ads to only be shown to potential customers that have visited a
mortgage or car insurance website as they surf the internet. So let’s say a
person just bought a new car and goes online to get car insurance quotes.
And let’s say he visits Geico.com Your car insurance ads would be shown to
that potential customer that has been identified as needing car insurance as
he surfs the internet:
For example when he checks his email
Or looks for movie listings
Or checks the weather Which means you can get extremely targeted traffic
for your specific product or service.
It is estimated that $1 billion dollars will be spent online with Behavioral
Targeting in 2008 alone. This is the future of internet advertising and it’s very
important that you understand how this game works if you don’t want to
become a dinosaur online. Note: Dozens of companies claim to do behavioral
targeting; however, the truth is that only a handful of vendors deserve your
attention. To do behavioral targeting a vendor must have: • Targeting,
optimization and ad-serving technology which lets advertisers adjust
campaigns on the fly. • To be able to deliver ads on high traffic sites or
applications where people spend the most time. • Be able to deliver
behavioral ads based on click stream data, purchasing data or websites that

Some big portals also have behavioral targeting capabilities.

Channel Targeting This is one of the most popular and effective ways
to target and quickly get your ads in thousands of sites with an ad network by
just cutting just one deal. For example with our diet patch campaign we
would cut deals to get traffic with the big ad networks from channels like:
Parenting, Astrology, Cooking, Gardening, Weather, Shopping, Beauty,
Women’s and Weight Loss. Key Point: The most important thing with channel
targeting is to identify as many channels where your potential customers are
hanging out, the more channels you identify the more traffic you can get.
Demographic Targeting:
With demographic targeting you can get traffic and only target your target
gender and audience (very powerful) once you identify who buys
your products. Is it mostly men or women? Or you can only target people from
a certain age group. For example with our diet patch campaign we identified
that the majority of people buying the product were women ages 19-56 so
now I would use demographic targeting to get tons of traffic from big sites
like Yahoo. Geographic Targeting With Geographic targeting you
can target people that live in a certain region. This is a very powerful way to
target if most of your customers are local and people have to be in your city
in order for you to do business with them. For example let’s say you are a
local business like a restaurant, night club, car dealer, local contractor or
provide a local professional service you can get your ads on big sites that
people visit frequently and only have your ads shown to people that live in
your city. Day Part Targeting Day part targeting allows you to only
have your ads shown on certain times of the day or day of the week, for
example to target the ―at work audience that runs 9AM-5PM, Monday –
Friday or to target the ―at home audience after 5PM.
Are most of your sales coming in on certain days? Are you still hitting your
CPA Goals on weekends? Do people mostly buy your product in the AM, PM or
certain days of the week?
One of the fastest ways to get a TON of traffic is to run ads on websites that
are getting a TON of traffic. The easiest way to find these sites is to go to
Alexa and see what sites have the highest traffic rankings.
Tips on getting traffic from high traffic websites:
Test Demo targeted Traffic: If the site has the ability to target ads
based on gender and age take advantage of this.
Test multiple ad sizes: I have found that one size may work better
than others so I like to test all ad sizes they offer.
Test channel specific traffic: Big sites like MSN, AOL, and Yahoo have
their sites divided up into channels. For example if we are selling a weight
loss product then we would definitely want to test running ads in their health
channel.
Test (ROS) Traffic (Run of Site Traffic) – ROS traffic means the site
will run your ads across all the different channels and placements on their
site. This traffic is usually cheaper than channel specific traffic and you can
get more volume. You just want to make sure you use a separate Adserver tag
so you can track all the traffic
separately.
Test running on the home page – This is where you can get the most
volume from a website, because their home page will be the page that gets
the most visitors. Again use a separate Adserver tag so you can track the
performance of the home page traffic separately.
Remember: You want to test all the available placements and ad sizes that
the site has to offer. Just make sure you are tracking everything with a
separate ad server tag. This way you’ll know exactly what placements or ad
sizes are not converting for you and which are so you can remove the losers
and ramp up traffic on the winners. One of the biggest obstacles you will
have once your offer is ready to get a ton of traffic is cash flow for ramping
up the traffic. The problem will NOT be supply of traffic, there is a ton of
traffic out there (you won’t be able to get your hands on all the traffic that
will convert for your offer) the problem will be allocating that traffic you
know converts and getting as much of it as possible to drive it to your
website. Let me give you an example: With the diet patch campaign one of
the very profitable traffic sources I found is running banners with Yahoo
targeting women. I did a test and the traffic converted like crazy. Now what
you want to do once you find a traffic pool that works is get as much of that
traffic as you can get your hands on because you know that you can take as
much of that traffic as you can get and turn it into cash. It’s like if you have
built a ― machine where every time you put in ―one dollar it spits back out
―five. How many one dollar bills would you want to stick into this machine
if every time you put in one dollar it gave you back five?
As many as you possibly could right? Well once you find a big traffic source
that converts like Yahoo, this is the same exact scenario. The problem is that
publishers will only grant you so much traffic on credit, usually if it’s the first
time you are doing business with them as long as you follow the formula I
outline below, you can get them to grant you a $5,000.00 to $25,000.00
credit line with them. So that’s exactly what happened… Yahoo gave me a
$25,000.00 credit line to start. I tested the traffic and was able to get it to
convert like crazy. So now I want to get as much traffic as possible from
Yahoo. I call my sales rep and ask him to send me a spread sheet with how
much of this traffic is available on a monthly basis. I am blown away when I
get the spread sheet take a look: Over 8.6 Billion Impressions on a monthly
basis: That’s $8.4 Million Dollars worth of traffic monthly. So I call my
sales rep to get as much of this traffic as possible.
The problem is they can only send me $25,000.00 worth of traffic per month
because that’s what I got approved for. My Yahoo sales rep told me that we
have to do business with them for at least 6 months before their accounting
department would consider increasing my credit line and I would have to
―pre-pay for any additional traffic. So I start thinking how can I overcome
this obstacle and get MORE of this traffic that I know I can turn into cash
because our merchant accounts were paying monthly and at the time we only
had about $100k cash flow available to pre pay upfront.
I end up negotiating having Yahoo give us a $300,000.00 monthly credit line in
exchange for the 100k pre-pay. Here is one of the IO’s check it out:
I learned a very powerful lesson, ―everything is negotiable , even if they say
it’s ―company policy I used this same stra tegy with other publishers to get
our business credit line up to over 2 million dollars per month in media buying
power. This is how we were able to get the diet patch campaign to doing over
5 million dollars per month in such a short time frame. Once you get up to
this point, the problem is not going to be ― finding traffic the problem is
―how much of this available traffic are yo u able to negotiate to send to your
site. Getting traffic on credit is one of the fastest ways to do this. Note:
This is not your ―personal credit. Your personal credit score has nothing to
do with this. I was able to negotiate getting all this traffic on credit even
though I have a bankruptcy on my credit report and my personal credit score
sucks. You know what’s funny… I can’t even get approved for a $500 credit
card! But I can get millions of dollars worth of traffic on credit We are
talking about your ―business credit here. Most marketers don’t even know
that owning a business automatically opens up the doors to be able to get
hundreds of thousands (even millions) of dollars of business credit. Big
corporations all play and ― understand this credit game, and this is not
something that is going to go away. You just need to understand how it works
to leverage it to grow your business.
Get a Dun & Bradstreet Number: The first thing you need to do is get
a DUNS number. This is like your businesses ―social security number. When
companies are deciding whether to give your business credit or not one of the
things they are going to do is check the D&B database to make sure any
vendors have not reported you for non-payment. When you apply to get your
DUNS number sign up for their premium service which allows you to add
vendors that are giving you credit into your profile which will increase your
score and in turn more publishers will give you credit. It’s like having an
unfair advantage on your credit score because you can add vendors that are
showing you are a good company to work with to your profile and increase
your score.
Have Your Own Credit Application – When contacting publishers with
an RFP (request for proposal) send them your pre-filled professional credit
application right away. This will show them that you know the game and that
other publishers have already given you credit and that they are expected to
give you the traffic on credit. This is a simple but very effective strategy that
never fails. I have been able to get over 50% of new publishers I work with
give me credit right away using this simple but very powerful technique.
Trade References: Make sure you have at least 3 great references on
your credit application. It’s a good idea to call these people that you are
going to use as references before you list them as a reference and ask them if
it’s ok to use them as a reference and also to give them a ― heads up so they
are not surprised when they start getting calls. You want to make sure you
list great references from people that like to do business with you and are
going to give some positive feedback when someone calls to verify.
Leverage Your Bank Account: One of the things you want to list on
your credit application is your companies’ bank account information. Some
publishers will want to call the bank to verify that you have enough funds in
the account to pay for whatever credit amount they are granting you. This is
where you can leverage your funds in the bank. For example if you have
$10,000 in your business checking account you can go out and apply for a 10k
credit line with 100 publishers and now you’ll have a one million dollar credit
line to buy traffic.
(Leverage your bank account to get credit from multiple publishers)
(10k in the bank can get you a one million dollar credit line) How fast can
you grow your business if you have a million dollars in traffic you can get on
―credit and pay for the traffic later afte r you got the sales? This is a very
powerful way to grow your business. This is how we were able to take our
grants campaign from zero to close to 2 million dollars in sales per month in
only 6 months.
Bank Reference: Since some publishers are going to want to check
that you have enough funds in your business account to pay for whatever
credit amount they are granting you. One thing you want to do is list a
contact person at your bank to make it easy for them to verify this. It’s a
good idea to let the bank contact know ahead of time that you are going to
be expanding your business doing more advertising and that some publishers
will call the bank to verify you have an account with them and that you are a
good customer. Ask your bank contact if it’s ok to list them on your credit
application for any of your vendors that want to call for verification.
The great thing about the media buying game and getting the traffic on credit
is as you’ve already seen you can quickly grow your business using OPM (other
people’s money) and most times you can get net 30 terms on the traffic. This
means you don’t have to pay for that traffic until 60 days later! Let me
explain… Let’s say you cut an IO for this month and you were granted net 30
terms. This means the invoice will not come until the traffic was
delivered for the month and the invoice is due 30 days after you receive the
invoice. This gives you a 60 day window to turn that traffic into sales and
collect the cash. Use the cash to buy even more traffic and negotiate bigger
credit lines with publishers. And pay for the traffic way after you get the
sales. Banks, financial institutions, and big corporations have been playing
the credit game for years and you as a business owner can play the same
game and take advantage of leveraging business credit to grow your business.
The beauty of this game is the more publishers you work with the more traffic
you’ll have access to. Before you start going nuts and cutting deals to get
traffic like crazy here are the 7 most important things you must know before
signing your first traffic deal.
Get a 24 Hour Out clause – This is very important, you want to make
sure you get a 24 hour out clause on your insertion order so that you can
pause the traffic (just like you can pause on Google) if the traffic is not
converting for you. Extra Tip: If you stop the traffic a lot of times you can
renegotiate the rate, just show your rep the stats and where you need to be
at to have the campaign in the green. A lot of times they will work with you
and it’s a win-win for both parties.
Specify Even Delivery – You want to make sure you specify even
delivery for traffic in the IO, otherwise they may start hammering you with
traffic that may not convert and you’ll end up losing a lot of money and will
be liable for paying the bill since you did not specify even delivery in the IO.
This protects you and allows you to start slow, test the traffic, see if it
converts, optimize your ads, and then ramp it up and remove the even
delivery filter once you are sure the traffic is in the green.
Frequency Cap the Traffic – In the beginning I like to get a frequency
cap of 1 per day. What this means is that they will only show your banner ad
once to a user over a 24 hour period. I’m sure that you have visited websites
where you are surfing their pages and you keep getting the same banner ad
over and over. This is because the banner has not been frequency capped.
Let me explain… If a user visits a page where your banner ad is and then they
click to go to a different page, you don’t want that user to see your banner
ad again, because chances are that if they didn’t click on it the first time,
they probably won’t click on it if they see it a second time, so why burn 2
impressions and
pay double or triple to reach the same amount of users? This is very
important especially in the beginning of the campaign. After I test the traffic
and make sure it converts, I will go ahead and remove the frequency cap
which will get me a lot more traffic and if the campaign stays in the green,
then I leave it off and in most cases I’ve just increased the amount of traffic
from that source dramatically.
Demand U.S. Only Traffic – Most of the publishers have a percentage
of their traffic that is from outside the U.S. and many publishers have a hard
time getting rid of the traffic. When negotiating your IO make sure you
specify you want U.S. traffic only (especially if you are selling a physical
product and only ship to the U.S.) because if you don’t specify you want U.S.
only traffic you may end up getting all of their international traffic that may
not convert for your offer.
3 rd Party Counter for Billing (Adserver) – Make sure you specify on
your IO that billing will be based off your numbers. This is very important.
The last thing you want to happen is think you are in the green when looking
at your numbers then realize that you really lost a lot of money because
there was a big discrepancy between your Adserver and the publishers
Adserver. Discrepancies are very common between ad servers that’s why you
want to make sure you are getting billed off your numbers. Not only does this
centralize all your stats but it saves you the time and headaches of having to
log in to various systems to see if you are in the green. This can become an
administrative nightmare especially once you get cranking and are dealing
with hundreds of publishers.
Start with Remnant Traffic – When testing a new traffic pool the
biggest thing you need to find out is what your eCPM is with that traffic
source so that you know what is the most you can spend to get that traffic
and be in the green. You can do this with remnant traffic for a fraction of the
cost. I have had instances where the price for the traffic was $5.00 CPM and I
end up negotiating remnant traffic for 25 cents CPM. That is a BIG difference.
Why spend more money than you have to since in the beginning all you need
to do is identify the eCPM?
Get the “Real Price”- One thing you have to understand is there are 2
rates in this game. One rate is for brand advertisers that normally don't count
sales so the publisher knows he can gouge them. The other rate is for direct
response advertisers and since publishers know you are going to be counting
conversions they are forced to sell this inventory at what it's really worth.
Tell them you are a direct response advertiser and you need the lowest price
they can give you with remnant traffic to run a test, and that you will buy
more inventory at a higher price once you identify the eCPM of their traffic.
Ask them what their lowest bidder is paying for remnant traffic. (They may
not tell you this) but it sets them up to give you a lower rate. You may not
get high volume at this rate but that's ok because in the beginning you just
need to know what the eCPM is and what is the highest you can bid for that
traffic.
The more you know about your customers, the better you’ll be able to find
them and target ads to them. When placing your media buys share this data
with the publisher or Ad networks so they can target and optimize your
campaign properly.
Track and share strategic data such as:
Gender of the majority of your customers
Age bracket of the majority of your customers
Do you get more sales from certain cities?
Are their certain days of the week where you get more sales?
Are their certain times of the day when your customers are buying?
What other types of sites do your customers visit?
Just like seats on an airplane, the other 10 advertisers buying ads from that
publisher most likely paid ten different rates for the same exact ad units and
placement. And even though you’re unlikely to ever get a ― written
guarantee that you are paying the absolute lowest rate, publishers expect
that people will negotiate and try to get lower rates. Remember in the
beginning all you are trying to do is determine your eCPM, so you know what
the maximum is you can pay for that inventory. So in the beginning negotiate
the lowest possible rate you can get with remnant inventory.
Know your key metrics like your CPA Goal communicate and give the ad
network as much targeting data as possible, and then watch those numbers
like a hawk. If the campaign is not hitting your CPA goals, communicate this
with the ad network as soon as possible. And have them optimize the
campaign and remove any channels/sites that are not hitting your CPA Goal
rather than canceling the IO right away and saying ―banners don’t work.
Many of our most successful traffic pools were bleeding in the beginning but
once we optimized the traffic, they turned into year round money makers.
Many publishers charge the same rate and will include day part targeting if
you negotiate this. Are most of your sales coming in on certain days? Are you
still hitting your CPA Goals on weekends? Do people mostly buy your product
in the AM or PM?
Take advantage of remnant Traffic. Especially when testing new traffic
sources. In the beginning all you are trying to do is identify the eCPM
(effective cost per thousand) of the traffic. This metric will let you know
what the highest CPM rate is that you can pay for that traffic. After you know
what your eCPM is you can come back and negotiate with the publisher the
CPM price you can pay them and get the most amount of traffic at that rate.
Sometimes the difference between remnant and guaranteed traffic is crazy. I
have had instances where the publisher is selling their guaranteed traffic at
$5.00 CPM and I end up getting their remnant traffic for like 25cents CPM
(pennies on the dollar) and in some instances some large publishers have
more remnant traffic than you can even get your hands on. For example with
the diet patch campaign I was getting $300,000.00 worth of traffic per month
from Yahoo and it was all remnant traffic! And
the crazy part is that they had over 8 million dollars worth of remnant traffic
every month! This is a mistake a lot of marketers make, pay high prices for
guaranteed traffic when there is more remnant traffic available from that
traffic source than you can even get your hands on for pennies on the dollar.
Why waste money like that? Unless you like to burn money go for remnant
traffic first. This is very important, and if you don’t follow this it’s one of
the fastest ways to lose a lot of money. You will run into a lot of publishers
and ad networks that have a minimum spend of anywhere of $5,000 to
$10,000. Don’t let this scare you off. There are ways to negotiate the deal so
that you still test small then roll out big.
Get a 24 hour out clause – With a 24 hour out clause even though you
are signing a $10,000 insertion order for the month you can get out of it and
stop the traffic with a 24 hour notice which means the test will only be a few
hundred bucks.
Extend the flight dates – One way to negotiate your IO to make sure
you are testing small is to extend the flight dates on the IO and make it a 60
day or even a 90 day run. Combine this with the 24 hour out clause and you
just structured the deal to only be spending a little over $100 bucks per day
in traffic to allow you to test small, make sure the traffic converts before
renegotiating the deal to crank up the traffic and roll it out big once you
know the traffic is converting for you.
Note: Make sure you specify even delivery in your IO, otherwise even though
you got a 24 hour out clause if the publisher hammers you with a bunch of
traffic, you are liable to pay for that traffic because it’s on your insertion
order and you didn’t specify even delivery.
Very few advertisers tell their sales rep what CPA Goal they need for the
campaign. That leaves the Ad Network in the Dark and makes it almost
impossible for them to pixel optimize your campaign. For example, if you
know you need a $27.00 CPA – and after the test, the Ad Network delivers
conversions at $40.00 Have them optimize the campaign by having them
remove any categories or sites that are not coming in at the desired CPA.
Another thing you can do in this example is have them cut the rates by 35%.
Send them your Adserver stats and give them the facts in black and white.
You will find that most of the time they will find a way to keep your
campaign going and get you in the green to make it a WIN-WIN for both of
you. For example here is a recent campaign I ran with Lycos… The original
rate was at $0.79 cents CPM
And now the new rate is at $0.25 cents CPM with as much traffic as I want!
It’s important that you communicate with your sales rep, show them the
numbers so they can work with you on making the campaign a success for
both of you. You must test and find the ultimate frequency for the
campaign. This will vary from offer to offer, a prospect may need to see your
banner ad three to seven times before they actually process the information
in their brain and make a decision if they will buy your product or not.
Make sure you specify the frequency cap on your IO. I like to start with a
frequency cap of 1 per day whenever I’m testing a new traffic pool, and then
once I optimize the creative for that traffic pool then I test removing the
frequency cap all together. This will result in getting 3-5 times the amount of
traffic and sometimes it may or may not convert
better. That’s why it’s key that you find out what the ― ultimate frequency
cap for the campaign is, so you can maximize the amount of traffic you get
and minimize your cost per lead. When placing a buy with an ad network,
tell the sales rep that you would like to test any channels or sites on the ad
network where your competition is already running. If your competition is
running on those placements that’s because the traffic is converting for
them, no need to reinvent the wheel simply piggy back on what has already
been proven and test there first! This is the low hanging fruit. After you
find a traffic pool that converts, negotiate a quarterly IO instead of the
standard monthly IO. This will not only save you time or the headaches of
trying to get a hold of your sales rep at the end of the month (when everyone
else is trying to get a hold of them too) it can also lock you in to a lower rate
and you can grab as much of that inventory before they sell it to other
advertisers. The sales reps love this because doing this they are selling most
of their inventory months in advance and it saves them time and the hassle of
having to renew the IO every month. Note : Even though you are signing a
quarterly IO make sure you still get a 24 hour out clause so you can cancel at
anytime if the traffic stops converting for you.
How to negotiate your media buys and get the ―real rate: First of all tell
the sales rep that you are an ― advertising agency these two words will save
you 15% right off the top. (These 2 words just saved you thousands of dollars).
Next make sure you tell them you are a direct response advertiser and are
looking to do a ― test . One thing you have to understand is there are 2 rates
in this game. One rate is for brand advertisers that normally don’t count sales
so the publisher knows he can gouge them. The other rate is for direct
response advertisers and since publishers know you are going to be counting
conversions they are forced to sell this inventory at what it’s really worth
where the direct response advertisers buying the traffic ca n still make a
profit. Next to get an even lower rate ask them what their lowest bidder is
paying for remnant traffic. (They may not tell you this) but it sets them up to
give you a lower rate. You may not get high volume at this rate but that’s ok
because in the beginning you just need to know if you can get the traffic to
convert and see what the eCPM (earnings per thousand) is from the traffic
source so you know what’s the most you can pay for that traffic and still be
profitable. One thing I learned buying media is the power of scalability.
The name of this game is to test small, split test and optimize your creative
and sales process to get your conversion rates as high as possible and once
your offer is ready the amount of traffic you can get by scaling up your media
buys is unbelievable.
I never expected to run billions of impressions thru my servers or to be able
to get millions of visitors to my websites. It all happened because I found a
simple system that works and simply replicated over and over with more and
more traffic sources. You have not reached the end of the report. You’ve
reached the end of you reading the report. This report is not something you
read and put away. The Traffic Tactics Report is to be read and re-read. If
you load a song on your I-pod that you like, you want to hear it again. If you
hear it 3 times you can sing along, if you hear it 10 times you can sing it on
your own. It’s the same with this report. If you want to be a master then
you must test the ―Golden Nuggets in this report on your online business and
keep coming back to this report until you’ve mastered all the tactics. This
report is not to be read, this report is meant to be studied for you to
implement the ― Golden Nuggets into your business. This report is meant to
be talked about and given to every member of your team. This is a report to
be put into your life. There are too many valuable secrets to read it once and
put away and just say ―that was a good read. If you have not mastered
every tactic in this report, go back and study each one. Make a game plan for
each one, and start with implementing your first one. The beauty is that
once you master all the tactics you can use them over and over again for the
rest of your life for any business you start or are involved with.
I was just at an online conference, and they asked the audience for
everybody that is doing a new split test every single day to raise their hands.
(Only about 5 hands went up out of hundreds of people in the room) Then
they asked for anyone that is doing over one million dollars per month online
to raise their hands. It’s no surprise that it was the same hands going up. So
there you go, you just learned a ―proven strategy for making over a million
dollars per month online. And now you have a list of what works so you don’t
waste any time.
T here are seven master secrets of getting serious traffic that we
couldn’t cover in detail in this report... Why not? Teaching these
seven master secrets takes a little time and in-person coaching. For example,
step 4 optimizing your sales process, of the Mass Traffic System, has 37 parts.
It takes about two hours to teach and another two hours to bring you to
mastery to be able to get large amounts of targeted traffic. Anyone can
master this, and once you do, your ability to get massive amounts of traffic
will be at your finger tips. But the problem is, it does take hours and in
person coaching to attain mastery, mainly because you first have to unlearn
several things you've been taught about how to generate traffic. (Since
everyone else is using the same techniques you've been taught, their
effectiveness have been greatly diminished, which is why the seven master
secrets of getting traffic are so effective.)
In addition, the seven master secrets require real-life examples of the ads
and landing pages we used to generate more traffic than some of the biggest
fortune 500 companies. All this takes a seminar to deliver . . . the very
seminar that thousands of readers have been asking us to put together ever
since we started releasing our free videos. So, on February 18th, 19th and
20th in Tampa, Florida we are hosting a very special three-day seminar for
our existing students. This seminar will be our legacy for those who are
already stars of internet marketing ... as well as those destined to be. For
these dedicated souls, our vocational brothers and sisters, we will reveal
every secret in full, holding nothing back. We weren’t planning on opening
this private event up to the public but since people have been asking we
decided to make available a few seats.
All of our existing clients will be in the room, so we don’t have much space
left. You can get more information on this event here What you have read
has not come cheap to us. Carlos and I have paid the price of success to get
here. I would have killed for someone to take us under their wing and give us
this information before making all the mistakes we had to make in order to
know what worked or what didn’t. The road to success is definitely paved in
failure. In fact the definition of an expert is someone who has already made
all the possible mistakes you can make in a given field.
I feel that what we are handing over to you is not just some words in black
and white. It also includes the nights we asked ourselves how will we pay the
mortgage, how will we pay the employees, will we have enough money this
month for bills and groceries? So remember that this was given to you from
the heart. Appreciate and respect the knowledge that has cost us years and
many sacrifices to acquire. Treat this like the bible for traffic and use it to
make your business grow. As we give to you I ask for you to give back not to
us but to the people in need. My lifetime goal has been to enrich the minds of
children. And to pay forward what was given to me. As a child I had people in
my life that helped me and it was because of them that I made it through.
They were there when I needed them the most. I like to think of them as
angels. One was there when I had no winter socks and clothes. For those of
you who live in Chicago or anywhere with below zero temperatures, you can
just imagine how it must have felt walking to school without a jacket and
socks. Another one was by my side when I needed help healing a burn
wound; it was my teacher placing Aloe Vera on my hand. You cannot believe
how much I needed that; my hand was pulsing from the pain of the burn. I
can even recall as far back to when I was in kindergarten. Our school gave me
and my sister winter coats for that year. Every time someone helped me out
I made a promise to make sure I helped those in need and do the same and
give the same that was given to me.
I have always been the type to donate to charity. I always donated the dollar
or more at Walgreen’s when asked. I always sent in a donation when I
received charity request in the mail. I always made it a point to have a gift
for those who I knew had nothing coming to them. So with your help and the
help of others, I have been able to begin to give back more than my usual. It
brings tears to my eyes to think that an inner city
girl like me kept her word and is giving back. I’m proud to say that this is only
the beginning of what I will be doing for others in the future. Every time I
give back it reminds me that I can be helping someone like myself someone
who is so grateful to get just a small item. Someone who will also make the
same promise I made years ago and someone who will give back when they
get the chance. So I want this to be viral. I give they give we all give. It
makes me ecstatic to say that with our charity webinars we helped save 3
children’s lives from congenital heart disease. We fed 70 families for
Thanksgiving. Plus we were able to put a smile on many children’s faces this
Christmas. So the real reason in my heart that we have decided to open up
seats for our private seminar in Tampa, Fl. is because 10% of the money
generated will be used for charitable causes. I never thought that in 2007 my
dream of giving back would come true. Now it’s like an addiction I want
2008 to be a memorable year. I want to do more charitable work and help
even more people than what we helped last year. So with your help and the
help of others we can make a difference. So if you wish to be a part of this
and help those in need while at the same time get the knowledge to
skyrocket your traffic, then join us February 17 th , 18 th , and 19 th in Sunny
Tampa, Florida. I don’t know if you ever heard my story of how Carlos and I
had our last $5,000 and we took our chance and spent it on our very first
seminar. This was our last $5,000 meaning we would have to get a 9 – 5
because we had to eat and pay the mortgage. Those 3 days at the seminar
was a turning point in our lives. We were 21 years old and as we sat there I
could not believe my ears people going up on stage and telling us step by step
how they had achieved success. I was flabbergasted! How could people be so
blind to not see that this was an opportunity to learn from other success and
failures?
The last day of the event I recall we were in a hurry because our plane was
leaving before the event ended. And as we left they asked people to come up
to the microphone and ask a question. As Carlos and I walked out to catch our
flight I went up to the mic and said if no one uses what they just taught us on
stage you must be crazy! After that our life was never the same. We had just
tapped into a way of getting knowledge quicker and easier from all the hard
work and mistakes of others. It was brilliant… After that we attended 2 to 3
seminars a quarter for the next 2 years. It was non-stop. The reason I like
to share this story is because that seminar was the turning point in our lives.
Our seminar is exactly that a turning point in people lives. Our aim is to give
you a seminar experience you will look back on as a turning point in your life,
three unforgettable days when your knowledge of internet marketing comes
together as never before... When you will know in your heart that your
future financial independence is secure because of the life-changing
knowledge you have just acquired.
Never again will you have the obstacle of getting TRAFFIC for any business
you begin. As we mentioned space is limited, so if you are even thinking
about attending this event click here I hope you enjoyed this report. Please
