Affiliates Should Buy Website Traffic

By vine | March 5th, 2011

There are many areas from where you can buy website traffic. You could possibly check out popunders, expired domains, banner adverts or Pay per click marketing. To the newbie, only one of these brilliant will commonly produce the goods.

Whilst popunders and expired domain traffic (dressed up under a number of different names!) claim to be able to send huge sums of highly targeted wesbite traffic aimed at your web, on the whole I have never found these to be worth the charge. Frequently the campaigns cost more than they return, so think before you buy.

Furthermore, banner adverts can be quite a nightmare independently. Plus a well crafted ad and promotion targeted at the banner, sit one on your site also it should enable you to get a commission. But simply drop a banner onto the inside of a website and leave it running and you’ll, if lucky, see maybe 1% of people that view the banner visiting your site. Then allow for just a few percent of those clicking on the advert and purchasing and you soon figure out that you need huge amounts of men and women seeing these banners just to get one sale. You should also invest time and expense in getting the banner professionally built to really make it attractive. Another avenue to miss.

The sole paid schemes I would recommend will be the paid per click systems. All of the main search engines run these, Google, Yahoo and Bing, plus Facebook and other social media are introducing their unique services, that happen to be considered cheaper plus much more effective.

To get started, join an account and do as instructed to produce and purchase an advert. It really is that easy – the owners of the systems have designed it in that position purposely! But, below are a few pointers that should help to make the adverts more successful.

1) The title line of the advert should be in title case – this implies the first character of every word is in upper case. This is shown to be more effective.

2) The link should go directly to the page that the product is advertised on, not to the home page, unless that’s the relevant page.

3) Create one advert per item. Then you’re able to word the advert to suit the item, plus this enables you to link to the correct page.

4) Buy highly targeted keywords only. General keywords, for example ‘flowers’, might have lots of traffic, but how much of it is relevant to your product? If you’re promoting red roses bid on ‘dozen red roses’, ‘red rose gifts’ etc. Less traffic, but as they closely match the product they may be interested and buy the product in question.

That’s my recommendation for generating regular, steady and targeted website traffic aimed at your website – Pay per click. Set up an advert, monitor and amend it and hopefully you will observe plenty of visitors and some affiliate commissions.
