It is all free: A better way to get traffic.

Turbo Viral Traffic is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Turbo Viral Traffic" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Turbo Viral Traffic Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!

After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Turbo Viral Traffic link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Turbo Viral Traffic link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Turbo Viral Traffic. So if anyone clicks the Turbo Viral Traffic image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Turbo Viral Traffic links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Turbo Viral Traffic (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Turbo Viral Traffic image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Turbo Viral Traffic also.

I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Turbo Viral Traffic even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Turbo Viral Traffic really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Turbo Viral Traffic. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Finding Traffic For my List

Well, today I took the plunge into contextual marketing.  This may be the last plunge I take.  The idea behind contextual marketing is that a person downloads a free gizmo for their computer and agrees to accept advertising in return.  Then you can pay to have your keywords advertised on their computer.

If you want to use this kind of advertising I found out that you need to check out the advertising companies carefully because many of them spam peoples computers using spyware--not cool.  It could ruin your reputation and get you kicked out of affiliate programs if you use the wrong company.

Also, you need to control your keywords very carefully.  Don't ever use broad terms in your keywords because I did and got a ton of traffic but no sales.  Ouch!  There is a great website that can rate your keywords for commercial value.  It is free and can be found at   http://adlab.msn.com/Online-Commercial-Intention/

The Money Is In The List

After making about $4000.00 writing articles for The Every Other Day Diet.  My keywords quit producing traffic.  Unfortunately I was spending all of my time writing under those keywords instead of branching out.  Now I realize I need to build a mailing list.

Basically I need to create a free offer with a squeeze page to collect these names.  Then I need to give quality content along with some offers.  So this is what I am going to begin to do.  The Shoemoney System is teaching me a lot and I recommend it to those who really want to learn Internet Marketing.
