Product Review: Perfect Traffic Storm

 
Did you notice the peel-off ad on the right top corner of my page?  That is Perfect Traffic Storm.  What is It anyway?  Perfect traffic storm is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with little effort or cost.  They offer 2 upgrade options but you can still join as a free member and still gain the benefits.  So I decided to put it to the test - as a FREE member of course.


So how does Perfect Traffic Storm work and how could it become beneficial in the promotion of your site and products?

Once you're inside, you can create ads for anything you want using the Perfect Traffic Storm Ad Generator.  You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.  After creating at least one link and one ad you can now start to generate traffic.  Just use and promote the new Perfect Traffic Storm link instead of the original source link you had.  Every time the Perfect Traffic Storm link is clicked your page will load.  But that's not the end of it. At the bottom of your page, a cool slide-up window will open displaying an ad that contain your affiliate link that goes back to Perfect Traffic Storm.  Not only that your own site will be promoted but also your Perfect Traffic Storm affiliate link as well.  So that if anyone will click the slide up window and sign up they will become your referral.

Now every time the ad window displays you earn credits that get your ad displayed in the ad windows of other members.  So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.  And this works virally and goes 5 levels deep.

There is another benefit of the system which I think is the best of all: downline emailing.  You can email your downlines with offers, promotions or whatever you like.  They make the emailing  often enough but not too often as to burden your downline.  And they tell you exactly how long until you can mail again.

I haven't experience yet the full effect of this 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.  I know because Perfect Traffic Storm also tracks my results which enables me to see how many clicks and ad displays there were.

Overall I have to say that Perfect Traffic Storm is simple yet powerful.  Recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

The Right Strategy For Profiting with Blogging

By now, unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about the power that blogs have as a tool for generating traffic and helping you make more money in your online business.

But "blogs" themselves aren't "strategies".  They are but "tools".  And just like a hammer wouldn't be an effective tool if you swung it at your finger instead of the nail, a blog isn't an effective tool unless you use it as part of a solid marketing strategy.

A guy I usually listen to when it comes to using blogs for making money online is Andrew Hansen. Andrew's claim to fame is his strategy for combining blogs with affiliate marketing, and various free traffic generation methods, to create passive income revenue streams that can remain profitable for a long time.

Part of this strategy is to use blogs NOT as an every day blogger who's focused on pulitzer prize winning content, generating of mouth and creating link bait... but instead to use blogs as a simple content management system that can assist in getting fast search rankings for highly profitable keywords in order to generate high conversion rates on affiliate offers.

As Andrew says, blogs are perfect for this purpose because they are easy for anyone to set up, don't require any coding knowledge, but come with features that most regular websites don't have that can be leveraged for extreme advantages in the search engines, like RSS Feeds, pinging and others.

Interestingly he also points out how blogs while traditionally aren't known for their ability to create high clickthrough or conversion rates on "offers" (including presells or direct sales offers) can in fact be tweaked to leverage some of the MOST powerful conversion boosters and can thus become high conversion selling machines.

Andrew's just  released a new "Institute" to teach people more about these strategies for profiting through "niche blogging" and he's put out some really interesting FREE videos that you can check out to learn some quality actionable steps to making money from your blogs, or STARTING to make some blogs that will generate passive income for you too.
