I'm sure you've seen the ads...
1 million visitors in 30 days...Only $29.95 They're called E-mail Blasts and Guaranteed Traffic Programs, and this is your
warning: They're SCAMS!!!
So if you've been thinking about doing an e-mail blast or purchasing traffic from one of those guaranteed traffic programs, save your money. Why? Because it's nothing more than garbage traffic or a totally useless e-mail list, which is SPAM.
How do I know? Because I've tested these programs - for myself and for my clients. I knew going in the programs didn't work. Common sense told me that. But I wanted to make sure I did my homework before I wrote this article. Anyway, here's the company I purchased the traffic from:
Guaranteed Visitors - Home
Here are the results of those tests:
On four different ocassions, for four different clients, I purchased 10,000 supposedly targeted pop-under ads for $89 from Adminder, the most popular of the guaranteed traffic programs. I then sat back and observed.
Approximately thirty days and over 40,000 visitors later, my clients had made zero sales. None! Nada! Zilch! My own personal results were just as dismal.
Why no sales? Because the quality of traffic was absolutely horrendous. Let me explain:
All four of the aforementioned clients gave me full access to their raw data logs. Guess what I discovered. All of the traffic was coming from poor and impoverished third world countries and porn sites. Even more telling was the fact that the average time each visitor stayed on each site was mere seconds - in some case milli-seconds. In other words, they were simply clicking on the URL and then leaving immediately.
Again, if you've been thinking about purchasing an e-mail blast or guaranteed traffic program, I implore you... DON'T! As the saying goes, "garbage in, garbage out!"
You've been
warned. Remember,
