8 Mistakes to Avoid When Naming a New Business

by Phillip Davis


Naming a business is like laying the cornerstone of a building. Once it's in place, the entire foundation and structure is aligned to that original stone. If it's off, the rest of the building is off, and the misalignment becomes amplified. So if you have that gnawing sense that choosing a name for your new business is vitally important - you're right. With 18 years in the naming and branding business, I've witnessed the good, the bad, and the really bad. Here's how you can avoid the worst of the mistakes and get off to a good start.

Mistake 1: The Committee (Getting all your clients, employees and family members involved)

We live in a democratic society and it seems like the right thing to do - involving everyone in an important decision. This approach, however, presents a few problems. The first and most obvious fact is that you will end up choosing only one name - so you risk alienating the very people you are trying to involve. Second, you often end up with a consensus decision, resulting in a very safe and very vanilla name. A better method is to involve only the key decision makers, the fewer the better, and select only the people you feel have the company's best interests at heart. The need for personal recognition can skew results - so you are best served by those who can park their egos at the door. Also, make sure you have some right brain types in the mix. Too many left brains and the name often ends up too literal and descriptive.

Mistake 2: The Train Wreck (Taking two words and colliding them head on)

When forced to come up with a creative name, many aspiring entrepreneurs will simply take part of an adjective and weld it onto a noun. The results are names that have a certain twisted rationale to them, but look and sound awful. Someone starting a high-end service franchise then becomes QualiServe. It's a bit like mixing chocolate syrup with ketchup - nothing wrong with either, but they just don't go together. Other common truncations include Ameri, Tech, Corp, Tron, etc. The problem with this approach is that it's simply forced � and it sounds that way.

Mistake 3: Where's Waldo? (Names so plain they'll never stand out in a crowd)

The first company in a category can get away with this one. Hence, you have General Motors, General Electric, etc. But once you have competition, it requires differentiation. Imagine if Yahoo! had come out as GeneralInternetDirectory.com? It would be much more descriptive, but hardly memorable. And with the onslaught of new media and advertising channels, it's more important than ever to carve out your niche by displaying your uniqueness. Nothing does that better than a well-conceived name.

Mistake 4: The Atlas Approach (Using a map to name your company)

In the zeal to start a new company, many businesses choose to use their city, state or region as part of their name. While this may actually help in the beginning, it often becomes a hindrance as a company grows. One client came to me with complaints he was serving more of the market than his name implied. He had aptly called it St. Pete Plumbing since he hailed from St. Petersburg, Florida. But yellow page shoppers assumed that was also his entire service area. With a little creative tinkering we changed the image of St. Pete from a city to the image of St. Pete himself, complete with wings and a plumber's wrench. The new tag line? "We work miracles!"

Other companies have struggled with the same issue. Minnesota Manufacturing and Mining was growing beyond their industry and their state. To avoid limiting their growth they became 3M, a company now known for innovation. Kentucky Fried Chicken is now KFC, de-emphasizing the regional nature of the original name. Both of these companies made strategic moves to avoid stifling their growth. Learn from them and you can avoid this potential bottleneck.

Mistake 5: Cliche' You Say? (A good name is worth a thousand words)

Once past the literal, descriptive stage, the thought process usually turns to metaphors. These can be great if they are not overly used to the point of trite. Since many companies think of themselves as the top in their industry, the world is full of names like Summit, Apex, Pinnacle, Peak, etc. While there is nothing inherently wrong with these names, they are just overworked. Look for combinations of positive words and metaphors and you will be much better served. A good example is the Fortune 1000 data storage company Iron Mountain, which conveys strength and security without sounding commonplace.

Mistake 6: Hide the Meaning (Make it so obscure, the customer will never know!)

It's great for a name to have a special meaning or significance. It sets up a story that can be used to tell the company message. But if the reference is too obscure and too hard to spell and pronounce, you may never have the opportunity to speak to that customer. They will simply pass you by as irrelevant. So resist the urge to name your company after the mythical Greek god of fast service or the Latin phrase for "We're number one!" If a name has a natural, intuitive sound and a special meaning, it can work. If it's too complex and puzzling, it will remain a mystery to your customers. This is especially true if you are reaching out to a mass audience.

I pushed the envelope a little on this one myself, naming my branding firm Tungsten, after the metal that Thomas Edison used to create brilliant light. However, my clientele consists of knowledgeable professionals who appreciate a good metaphor and expect a branding firm to have a story behind its name. It's also a way to differentiate my services (illuminated, bright, brilliant). So while it works for a branding firm, it would not do well as an ice cream parlor.

Mistake 7: The Campbell's Approach (Using alphabet soup to name your firm)

This is a trend that is thankfully wearing off. Driven by the need for a matching domain name, many companies have resorted to awkwardly constructed or purposefully misspelled names. The results are company names that sound more like prescription drugs than real life businesses. Mistake 2 sometimes gets combined with this one and results in a name like KwaliTronix (or worse - mistakes 2, 4 ... 7, resulting in KwalTronixUSA). It's amazing how good some names begin to sound after searching for available domain names all night. But resist the urge. Avoid using a "K" in place of a "Q" or a "Ph" in place of an "F." This makes spelling the name and locating you on the Internet all that much harder.

It's not that coined or invented names cannot work; they often do. Take for example, Xerox or Kodak. But keep it mind, names like these have no intrinsic or linguistic meaning, so they rely heavily on advertising � and that gets expensive. Many of the companies that use this approach were either first in category or had large marketing budgets. Verizon spent millions on their rebranding effort. So did Accenture. So check your pocketbook before you check into these types of names.

Mistake 8: Sit On It. (When in doubt, make no change at all)

Many business owners know they have a problem with their name and just hope it will somehow magically resolve itself. The original name for one of my clients was "Portables," which reminded some people of the outdoor restrooms or the portable classrooms - neither one a good association. This added to the confusion when phone operators tried to explain their new concept of moving and storage. After some careful tweaking, we came up with the name PODS, an acronym for Portable On Demand Storage. The rest is quickly becoming history as they expand both nationally and internationally. Peter Warhust, President and one of the original founders states, "For the record, changing our name to PODS was one of the best moves we ever made."

Exercise Experience, a former Florida-based company, was frequently confused with a health club. In reality, they sold very high-end fitness equipment. This brings up a very key point - it's better to have a name that gives no impression than a name that gives a wrong impression. Much of the ad budget we spent on Exercise Experience was used to clarify that they sold fitness equipment. This was valuable airtime that could have been put to better use selling the equipment rather than explaining the business. Ultimately, the company folded. It's not to say it was solely because of the name, but I believe it was a factor.

Mike Harper of Huntington Beach, CA, bought a thirty-year-old janitorial and building maintenance company named Regency. We both agreed it sounded more like a downtown movie theatre than a progressive facilities management firm. After a thorough naming search, we developed the name Spruce Facilities Management. Spruce not only conveyed the environmentally friendly image of a spruce tree (something important to the client), it also meant, "to clean up." The new tag line fell right in place Spruce "The Everclean Company."

It's only a matter of time before Southwest Airlines and Burlington Coat Factory and others who have successfully outgrown their original markets begin to question their positioning. Much like 3M and KFC, they may need to make a change to keep pace with their growth and image.

In the fever to start your new business or expand a current one, take time to think through some of these issues. According to the late Henry Ford, "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." Albert Einstein took it one step further claiming, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." By tapping into your creativity and avoiding these potential pitfalls, you'll be able to create a name that works both short and long term � one that allows for future growth. Like the original cornerstone of a building, it will support upward expansion as your company reaches new heights.

Using Traffic Exchanges For Maximum Results

By Frank Tocco


Traffic exchanges are a fantastic resource for generating free website traffic if you know how to use them properly. Most people wrongly assume that putting their affiliate URL on a traffic exchange and surfing for credits so their site gets seen is all they have to do. Then magically hits will appear to their site and sales will start to roll in.

Actually, like most things, there’s a wrong way and a right way to use traffic exchanges for maximum results. Below are some examples on how to properly make use of the traffic exchanges.

First thing to do is to get a URL rotator. These allow you to combine multiple URL’s from your different programs into one single URL. This single URL is the one you’ll be using to promote on the exchanges. Adding your single URL to multiple exchanges makes it easier to keep track of. If you want to make changes in the programs you promote later, you can add or remove the URL’s in the rotator and not the exchange itself.

There are many free places to get a rotator on the web and some of the exchanges offer free rotators as well.

Once you have your rotator set up, you can now join the traffic exchanges and add your new URL to their sites. Joining the ones with the most active members will expose your site to more people, so look on the exchange site for stats about the site. Specifically, look for how many active members the site has. The more members the better.

Always track your results on each traffic exchange. This is most important. Make sure the system you’re using has the ability to track not only click-thru rates, but sign ups and sales as well. This way you’ll know if the traffic source is truly getting results.

It may seem like a lot of work to track every click, sign up and sale on every individual traffic exchange, but consider this. If you’re spending an hour a day surfing for credits and get no clicks from one exchange while getting fifty from another, wouldn’t you like to know that information so you could spend more time with the better of the two? Of course you would! How would you know this information if you didn’t track it? You wouldn’t.

You would be amazed how many people still do not track everything. This one piece of information you would have discovered, if you tracked your business, could save or make you lot’s of money. So track.

Make sure you’re making full use of each benefit that each exchange offers. That does not mean you have to pay to upgrade on all of them. Just make sure you add your banners, text ads and start referring people to join in your downline.

Using a browser that allows you to open multiple pages so you can surf more than one traffic exchange at the same time is mandatory if you’re manually surfing for credits. This way, while waiting for the timer to run to earn your credits, you can open another page in your browser that you’ve pre-loaded with another start page of the next traffic exchange that you’re surfing and click to earn credits there. Continue with next one and the next one until you return to the first one you opened. By that time the timer has reached zero and it should be ready to start again. You can earn credits on multiple traffic exchanges at the same time this way and earn credits faster. Be sure to teach your downline the same thing so you’ll both earn credits faster.

The biggest mistake people make on traffic exchanges is promoting their main program without a way to capture the visitors contact information.

Imagine a traffic exchange as a meeting place online where everybody there wants something from you, like to join their program or buy their product. Now imagine that you are there in that crowd, but you are giving something away for free. Something that crowd needs and all you are asking for is a place to send it to them. Do you think you would stand out in that crowd? Yes, you would. People would line up for you. So instead of promoting your program or product to a person viewing your site, who will either take it or leave it, try giving them something they want for nothing other than a place to send it to them. For only their email address and name. Then make good on your end and give it to them, free.

I’m often asked, “How can you make money giving things away for free”? Good question. The answer is you don’t. You make money by giving something of value to those that value what you’re giving. Giving something of value first, builds trust and will build a list of people interested in what you have to offer.

Do you know how valuable that list is? Immeasurable! In time that list will join your programs, buy your product, build your downline, refer business to you and keep being your best, loyal customers for years. All because you gave them something of value to them first and consistently kept your promise to them. You can find all kinds of things to give online that cost you nothing!

In exchange for your free gift of valuable information the visitor will give you their name and email address. This contact information is the gold you are looking for. Behind that name and email address is a person. Building a relationship with that person, if done right, could be very profitable. They will come to trust you and look to you for advise and they will buy from you too, once they get to know you.

Now imagine you’ve been doing this consistently for awhile now and you’ve collected a list of two thousand names of people that have been receiving your emails over the last few months and some of them have joined your programs. Some have emailed you back and even talked with you on the phone. They have questions. They are looking for solutions to their problems. They are beginning to feel like they know you. You have a whole list of people asking you to solve a problem for them. Can you see how much more valuable that is then just getting a few sales or sign ups months ago when they just saw your site on a traffic exchange?

Can you see how much easier it is to have people looking to you to solve their problems then to try to chase after people to sell them your program? You would know exactly what to offer them because they would tell you exactly what they want.

So use the traffic exchanges wisely by always promoting a capture page and offering a free gift in exchange for their contact information. There will be time enough later to make a sale. Build trust and value first and keep a customer for life.

A Legitimate Online Business Does Exist!

by Christy McCormack

I was brought up with idea that if you work hard enough you will be rich.
Yeah Right!!

My parents were lower middle class. My Dad worked 20 years active duty in the Air Force and then continued with 30 years civil service. After my father retired, with 2 different retirement payments, I still had to financially support him until he passed away.


When I graduated as a Registered Nurse my parents said I had it made and I could get a job anywhere at anytime. The operative word is "JOB". I have been a Nurse for 21 years and even though I have enjoyed my career, I was not on the road to riches. The idea of staying with one company like my dad was not appealing. I figured if I just kept working at my profession I would one day be able to retire with lots of money. Boy was I filled with a lot of false hope! Nobody ever taught me what to do with my money to ensure my parents would be taken care of and I would be set for retirement. I realized about 4 years ago that I was NOT going to be able to retire if I did not do something and SOON!!!

So, I started looking for a better way. A way for me to get out of an hour and a half commute and spend more time at home with my family. While surfing the Internet at work (fed up with my job) I discovered a lot of "Work At Home" opportunities and decided to give one a try. Six months later, after hitting up all my friends and family, I had no more money than I started with and lost all credibility with my friends and family. I have tried numerous of the so-called easy work from home ideas and got nowhere. I have spent a multitude of time and lost a lot of money on these so called "Top Home based Business Opportunities" and since have become very skeptical about every opportunity I see now. I even had one of my earlier "mentors" tell me after I had sent him an email that I was never to use a particular email address of his again or he would remove me from his list. My husband was furious! Needless to say I was fed up and extremely skeptical but I just knew there had to be a business that would get me to where I wanted to be. But How do we do it, where do we get the information, and why isn't honest, straightforward information available?

One day I came across a website that caught my interest. The website was about a man who replaced his yearly income within 3 months of starting his online business and closed his mortgage firm. I liked what he said but I did not believe it. The thought of making $10,000 and more per month sounded like another scam. However after doing a lot of research on him and his business I couldn't find any negative information so I decided to fill out the form on his website and find out what it was all about. When I got home there was a message on my machine from a name I didn't recognize and I almost deleted it when I realized it was the gentleman from the website I was interested in. I ignored it but looked at the website again and again and again. I checked out the website for 5 days before I even told my husband who was even more skeptical than me and also fed up with the rat race. The gentleman on the website had called and I had talked with him and told him I needed to show the info to my husband before I make any decisions. I showed my husband the information and assured him that I did a background check on both the gentleman and his business and once he saw the compensation plan and the outstanding information the business had to offer he said, "When do we start!" We called the gentleman and started that night.

I have been doing this business for six months now and I believe it is the most sensible and beneficial business in the industry today. Our parents were never taught this information as they were growing up. And to this day, schools do not stress the importance of this information to our children as they prepare to enter the working society.

We have been given an incredible opportunity. The opportunity to learn how to intelligently and strategically prepare ourselves for our future and a comfortable retirement and to help others do the same. All we really wanted was a legitimate online business that was ethical and able to teach us to replace our income and give us the freedom and financial security we desired. We ended up with all that and an overwhelming sense of purpose from helping others improve their lives financially and spiritually.

It took me four years and thousands of dollars to find the right online business for me and all because I didn't research the previous business' before I signed up. Do your due diligence and research every business you look at before you make any decisions. Make sure it is not a scam and make sure it is the right business for you. It's up to you to do your homework.

The Secret to Abundance

by Caterina Christakos


Many people ask me what is the secret to creating abundance. And this is a valid question but a better question is how to change your life and your finances permanently. You can create a successful business online or offline but if your mental attitude and thought processes are not in alignment then that success probably won't last.

Most people fail with their online business. Here is the way that most people go about setting up their new business:

1) They have an idea 2) They grab a domain name 3) They slap up a website or spend months building a website 4) They throw money at it. 5) They pray for success.

They have absolutely not focus and no idea why they are doing what they are doing.

Here is the correct way to create a profitable online business:

1) Sit down and really think about what you want to achieve. Be specific. Ex. I want an online cash machine that produces $10,000 or more a month. Visualize it. How will it feel, sound and look. This goal must be real to you.

2) Do a bit of research on what businesses are out there and more importantly what can be done in that niche to differentiate you.

Now look at your monetary goal and work from achieving that goal backward. Ex. You could sell a $5 product but you would have to sell 2000 of them a month to reach your goal. Or you could sell a $500 product and only have to sell twenty. Which seems more doable? What is the easiest way to reach your goal?

3) Research the niche by doing some on line keyword research. Are you going for a big niche like work at home opportunities or a smaller niche like individuals looking for resell rights? What products are currently available in that niche, in the price range that you are looking for?

4) Put your best keywords in your domain name, title tags, metatags and content.

5) Come up with valuable content. People come online to get information not to buy. They buy after you have built trust by giving them information that they can use and solutions to their problems. This content should be placed on your site, in your blog and in the articles that you blast out.

6) Build rapport with a free follow up newsletter. Hint this is also where you can keep presenting your offer to them and even present bigger offers to them.

7) Brand yourself online with free articles, banner ads, ppc, fresh content, blogs, etc... You need to be known as an expert in your field.

8) Have a consistent marketing plan. Pick four marketing tools that you will use on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. And actually stick to that plan.

9) Track your ad campaigns. There are a ton of link tracking software programs out there. Use them to see where your ad revenue is used most effectively. Cancel ad campaigns that are simply sucking your money away.

10) Delegate the tasks that take the most time but bring in little to no direct revenue. Ex. Hire a personal assistant to handle customer service questions. You need to spend your time marketing and creating new streams of income. That is your job. Delegate the rest.

And that is the secret to creating any type of successful business and how to build a life full of abundance. It isn't rocket science. You just need to know where you want to go and keep moving forward until you get there.

Do Your Potential Customers Forget About You?

By: Tom Kulzer

Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person's need for information quickly!
http:
But, after you've delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information?

If you are like most Internet marketers, you don't.

When you don't follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him. Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn't receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere.

Are you losing profits due to inconsistent and ineffective follow up?
Following up with leads is more than just a process - it's an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don't follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process.

Consistent follow up gets results!
When I first started marketing and following up with prospects, I used a follow up method that I now call the "List Technique." I had a large database containing the names and e-mail addresses of people who had specifically requested information about my products and services. These prospects had already received my first letter by the time they requested more information, so I used the company's latest news as a follow up piece. I would write follow up newsletters every now and then, and send them, in one mass mailing, to everyone who had previously requested information from me. While this probably did help me win a few additional orders, it wasn't a very good follow up method. Why isn't the "List Technique" very effective?

* The List Technique isn't consistent. Proponents of the List Technique tend to only send out follow up messages when their companies have "big news".

* List Technique messages don't give the potential customer any additional information about the product or service in question. He can't make a more informed buying decision after receiving a newsletter! If someone is wondering whether your company sells the best knick-knacks, what does he care that you've just moved your headquarters?

* List Technique messages convey a "big list" mentality to your potential customers. When I used to write follow up messages using the List Technique, I was writing news bulletins to everyone I knew! I should have been sending a personal message to each individual who wanted to know more about my products.

What follow up method really works?
Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, but at set intervals, and with pre-written messages, will dramatically increase sales! Others who use this same technique confirm that they have all at least doubled the sales of various products! In order to set this system up, though, you need to do some planning.

First, you'll need to develop your follow up messages. If you've been marketing on the Internet for any length of time, then you should already have a first informative letter. Your second letter marks the beginning of the follow up process, and should go into more detail than the first letter. Fill this letter with details that you didn't have the space to add to the first letter. Stress the BENEFITS of your products or services!

Your next 2-3 follow up messages should be rather short. Include lists of the benefits and potential uses of your products and services. Write each letter so that your prospects can skim the contents, and still see the full force of your message.

The next couple of follow up messages should create a sense of urgency in your prospect's mind. Make a special offer, giving him a reason to order NOW instead of waiting any longer. After reading these follow up messages, your prospect should want to order immediately!

Phrase each of your final 1 or 2 follow up messages in the form of a question. Ask your prospect why he hasn't yet placed an order? Try to get him to actually respond. Ask if the price is to high, the product isn't the right color or doesn't have the right features, or if he is looking for something else entirely. (By this time, it's unlikely that this person will order from you. However, his feedback can help you modify your follow up letters or products, so that other prospects will order from you.)

The timing of your follow up letters is just as important as their content. You don't want one prospect to receive a follow up the day after he gets your initial informative letter, while another prospect waits weeks for a follow up!

Always send an initial, informative letter as soon as it is requested, and send the first follow up 24 hours afterwards. You want your hot prospects to have information quickly, so that they can make informed buying decisions!

Send the next 2-3 follow up messages between 1 and 3 days apart. Your prospect is still hot, and is probably still shopping around! Tell him about the benefits of your products and services, as opposed to your competitors'. You will make the sale!

Send the final follow up messages later on. You certainly don't want to annoy your prospect! Make sure that these last letters are at least 4 days apart.

How To Make Money Online The Fun, Free and Easy Way.

by Make Money Jobs

The absolute easiest, fastest and free way to start making money on the internet is by becoming an affiliate and promoting someone else's product. With affiliate programs, you don't need to spend months on research, hard work and money just to create your own product.
You don't need to create your own website...
You don't need to write your own sales copy...
You don't need to do any customer service...
and you don't need any experience!
All you do is simply choose a product,
sign up as an affiliate and start promoting.

But... there can be some problems...
You must take action on what you have learnt and follow it through,
right to the very end! and... You must not get diverted and sweep
off your feet with the promise of instant over night riches and money
making schemes because there simply is no such thing!
You will be wasting your money and your time which will eventually lead to total information overload, frustration, confusion and disappointment.
How do I know? Because it happened to me!!!
Sorry to be so blunt..... But It's the truth :-)

It is very important that once you have chosen your affiliate program
to promote, that you get it fully set up and focus daily on marketing, promotion and advertising. You can be promoting the best program and have the greatest systemsetup in the world but if you don't have any visitors... you won't make any sales!

You also need to believe in yourself and your product and don't give up. It may not happen over night but it will happen. Focus first, on one affiliate program only and work on promoting it every day until it makes a good profit. Then, go find another suitable affiliate program and give that your best effort also.

Try to choose quality products and services that you can promote
passionately! The best products and services to promote are of course, those that you are using or have used personally.
Your prospects will be able to sense your sincerity from your experience and confidence with the product.This will also greatly enhance your credibility as well as your product's marketability.

With the right mindset, the right actions and perseverance...
your dreams really will come true!

Business Goals are Essential for Your Success

by ove nordkvist

Business goals are the foundation on which a business are justified, analyzed, and built. Business goals are commonly expressed as a certain level of returns on investments, returns on equity, or income from your business.

Personal goals are stated to achieve the life style you want. Goals are essential for creating the quickest and most effective plan to get you from A to Z in your career, business, job or life in general. Your motivation, initiative, and your direction will stem from your goals.

Goals will help you to stay focused on success and away from distractive activities that drain business resources and accomplish little. Goals are also your guideposts, established to show you the right path and to help you assess your progress.

Goal setting are important because it will affect just about everything you do, as you plan and operate your business. It's not just the destination you're moving toward, they're also the painted white lines that keep you on the road. Without this designed target,that your goal represent, successful results are unlikely, accidental and often but sadly undetectable.

An effective goal must state, in one or two sentences, the conditions that will exist, once the goal is accomplished. Evaluate each specific business goal, identify the behaviors or actions you need to start doing, do more of, do less of, or stop doing if the goals are to be achieved.

The more well defined a goal is, the easier it will be to understand what you need to do to met it, and to measure successful achievement. If youre unclear on your goals, how can you ascertain if your business is successful.

If you find that your business, even if very successful, won't satisfy you personally, or if you discover that achieving your personal goals requires you to take more risks and make more sacrifices than you're willing to. Well, then you need to reset your goals.

Autoresponders - The Other Wise Choice

By Scott Lindsay

When answering machines were first introduced it was not uncommon for many individuals to simply hang up and vow never to do business with a company that would be so impersonal as to relegate their concerns to a recording device.

Today even the operator is an antiquated notion in some business as an automated voicing system guides you to the appropriate party to ask a question or voice a concern (even then you can expect to leave a message).

With online business it is possible to conduct business with clients who will never hear your voice. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in hearing from you.

The truth is the Internet is automated in such a way that the only two human responders in a transaction are the consumer making the purchase and the warehouse worker assigned to product fulfillment.

When customers make an online purchase they want to know that the order was received and fulfillment of the order is in process. This is where an autoresponder becomes a good friend to online businesses.

An autoresponder can immediately be sent as an order confirmation and greeting. Another autoresponder can be activated automatically when the product is actually sent from the warehouse. Yet another autoresponder can kick in several days later asking the client for feedback on their purchase. This information can be valuable in knowing the general tone of the customer’s approval of your business. It is even possible that some of the responses can be used in a testimonial segment of your business site.

The third autoresponder you set up could also invite the new, and hopefully satisfied, customer to accept an ecourse you can provide free of charge or the occasional email marketing piece that will alert them to special buys, discounts and coupons available to ‘select’ customers.

Autoresponders can actually be a useful tool in both traffic building and list building. They don’t have to be intrusive and should be informational and something the customer is happy to receive. That being said, you need to make sure there is an opt-out feature when the emails are no longer directly related to the delivery of a product from your online company. If you don’t the consumer may feel as if subsequent emails are spam oriented.

Imagine having a room full of employees whose job it is to personally answer each email order that comes in. Would this be a cost effective way to run a business? If not then perhaps the nominal cost associated with a fully developed autoresponder system may be more cost effective simply in terms of freeing up more time then you thought.

High Commissions for Affiliates-Good Marketing or Poor

by Jeff Casmer

Why is it that some affiliate programs offer you 50% commission or greater to promote their products or services and others give you a meager 5% affiliate commission?

As an affiliate marketer you're always on the hunt for the best products with high commissions for affiliates. But can you guarantee the product is high quality just because the commission is great?

Probably not, not unless you test it, which is what all affiliates should do though many of them do not. Those that do however, buy the product through their own affiliate link in order to get the product at a discount. Is this legal?

Well, many merchants fail to ban their affiliates from doing so, thus affiliates feel no reason to feel guilty. After all they need to test the product in order to promote it, and the merchant did make a sale.

There's a battle going on between merchants and affiliates. It's an unspoken one and has, for sometime, been kept very civil for quite some time, but I feel that everyone is beginning to lose their patience.

Offering high commissions for affiliates was a unique selling point a few years ago. If a merchant wanted to have their product stand out they told their affiliates that they would receive a commission of 50, 65, or in many cases now 75 percent on commission.

Affiliates took to this like ducks to water and merchants soon found that in order to get affiliates they had to offer high commissions. It became less of an option and more of a required sales strategy. However, offering high commissions for affiliates did not urge the affiliates to work any harder to sell the products. The 20/80 rule still exists- that is 20 percent of your affiliates are taking in 80 percent of the commissions. Some say it's even less than that, the number seems closer to six percent. What are all the other affiliates doing? Are they lazy or just inexperienced?

Products with high commissions are still high end products and high end products are hard to sell. Many affiliate marketers have little or no sales experience. Thus convincing someone that your 97 dollar ebook is like sliced bread (they can't live without it) will be challenging.

Some may opt for seedy tactics like spamming or stealing commissions to make sales. Should merchants still reward them for this? Does someone deserve a 50% commission to tarnish your name and put your business on the line?

Should merchants lower the commissions? By doing this, they may not be able to attract the good marketers out there. Savvy salespeople are going to want to be heavily rewarded for the efforts they are putting into sending you traffic, building your list, and creating sales.

What about all the merchants out there that can not afford to give their affiliates 65% commission, or feel no need to. Is it fair for a merchant to offer a high commissions for affiliates on well priced product that is an easy sell?

Are we at a crossroad? The internet has made it difficult to go backwards; merchants can not suddenly decide to offer 40% as the new high commission payout. Likewise affiliates can not expect merchants to make the selling process easier so they can all be top sellers.

What do we do? Do we let things be and have each side quietly grumble to themselves? Merchants on one side wishing they didn't have to offer so much for a product that took them months to create, and affiliates on the other hoping that the commission rate will go up even more since they are pouring themselves into a product that they didn't create.

Is there a resolution? We can't make both parties happy, can we?

So many companies....What is right for me?

by http://bigmoney4you.net

Beware of the Fluff. They seem like great companies, they have a good sales pitch and their comp plan looks good too. They have big corporate offices and have been around for years. Isn't that good? Any company out there that sells products like lotions, potions, pills, miracle juices or miracle gas saving products usually doesn't work for the average person for many reasons.

Those companies usually make most of their money from you, the distributor, not from selling the products. They have you on auto ship, so you are their income.

They only pay about 2% to 15% so many levels deep. They will tell you that when you fill the matrix, you won't have to do anything and you'll be making 20 to 40k a month. The truth is, there are so many loop holes to their comp plans that no body ever reaches those levels. You either will have too many people on your left, but not enough on your right side to make the higher level payouts. They tell you that you need more personal volume and your group volume is fine or vice versa, or my favorite, you had fallout this month, so you no longer qualify for that car bonus we promised you about.

They make you hold home parties to push your crap on your friends. Listen to me . . . ..If I wanted weight loss, I'd go to GNC. If I wanted Lotions, I'd go to CVS, Save on, Nordstrom or Bullocks. If I wanted to put additives in my gas tank, I'd go to Kragen, Chief or Pep Boys and buy a product from STP or Penzoil. You get what I mean . . . .?

They are a copy cat company of the original company. How many companies out there are selling a juice that is based from the Acai Berry, Goji berry or the Mangosteen fruit? How many of those promise to cure cancer? What a joke? Is our society that ignorant that if something actually cured cancer, wouldn't we want to check it out? How many travel companies are there now? How many fuel additives are there now? How many of those have been shut down? How many make up, skin lotions and vitamin companies are there out there?

It just seems like there is so many junk companies on the internet, how do you what is good and what is not? Some of these companies above actually have a good product, but I would never go in business with them.

So, how do I choose a business that I can profit from and that I can be proud to represent?

When I evaluate a company, I look for these key points. Keep in mind, when I join a company, my #1 goal is to make money and to do it legitimately. I do not want to hurt anyone or rip anyone off. This is what I've learned and these guidelines will help you determine what company is right for you.

If you are not making at least 75% of the upfront commission when you make a sale, forget it. This means that you are doing all the work and the company and/or the person above you is making all the money.

If you have to have 1000, 10,000 or 20,000 people in your organization before you make any real money. DO NOT Join. Most people will NEVER get there.

If they teach you to hold home parties and invite all your friends. Run away fast.

If they have a sales pitch 2-3 times a day and only 2-3 training classes per week. This means that the company is more interested in selling you than training you how to make money long term

If you can't break even or get into profit with 3 sales, forget it.

If you can't speak with the owners or the corporate office via phone or webinar, Forget it. I like to know who I am doing business with before I will do business with them.

If it is a start up or in pre launch, forget. The chances of these companies becoming the next Amway is about as good as winning the lottery. At least with the lottery, you have a chance to win once or twice a week. You might as well go to Vegas and blow your money on a good time. At least you'll have some great memories, see a great show and have a great meal.

These are not all the rules for success on the internet, but this is a great guideline to follow when evaluating an internet company.

Make the Leap to Affiliate Marketing Success

by Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

If you are going to become a successful affiliate on the Internet, you need 3 "intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.

===> Intangible 1 <===

First, you must have a strong WHY.

Why must you make affiliate marketing work? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in this business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to make money with affiliate programs or make your living on the Internet, you won't. It's that simple.

For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money online. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.

There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money online with affiliate programs. Just get online and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money online with affiliate programs.

I've always said that "affiliate marketing" is the job of the future. In the "old" days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. Believe me, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with affiliate marketing.

That's backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is the Internet is a moving target... The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be IN THE RING to truly understand it.

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start an affiliate marketing business. You simply have to start one. This is what I call "Making the Leap."

The good news is that the cost of failure on the Internet is very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this: http://www.HomeBusiness.us

You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to become a successful affiliate marketer. In fact, if you're not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to becoming a successful affiliate marketer today!

Blogging to the Bank 2.0 Review

People have been using blogs as means of making a bit of money now for some time. This is done by creating a blog, putting some adsense or affiliate links on it, and regularly updating it. It is generally thought that blogs appeal more to the search engines, perhaps because they are regularly updated. This search engine friendliness is what makes the blog attractive to internet marketers.

So anyway, what about this Blogging to the Bank 2.0? Well, it was written by a guy called Rob Benwell, who wrote the original Blogging to the Bank (which I haven’t read). Apparently the techniques used in the original book have become outdated, and Rob explains in Blogging to the Bank 2.0 how he came to update his methods. Rob tells us about the 5 blogging commandments, which basically tell us the 5 pillars that a blog should have in order to get organic traffic. There are no ‘black hat’ methods used here; everything Rob talks about is geared towards long-term blogs which will hopefully rake in the money.

This book would probably not interest the experienced professional blogger, but for the relatively inexperienced person trying to make a bit of money from blogs, this would make an excellent investment. Rob details (with screen shots) the process he himself follows when creating a blog. He shows how to set up web hosting, how to activate Wordpress, and how to create a monetised blog. Rob also goes through the steps of identifying a niche within which to create the blog.

The section I liked the most was the one entitled ‘Optimising your Blog’. There’s a ton of info here, all aimed at making your blog score well in the search engine rankings. This info could also be utilised for non-blog websites too…

From reading Blogging to the Bank 2.0, it is fairly obvious that Rob Benwell is a very experienced blogger, and he shares a lot of his tips and technical knowledge in this book. I would recommend this for relative newcomers to the monetised blogging game - it is pretty much a step-by-step manual for making money through blogs. For more experienced bloggers, there may be the odd bit of useful info.

Making Money Fast - A Proven Route To Building Wealth Quickly

by sacha tarkovsky

If you want to make money fast then you need to have a specific method and that's what were going to do here. You don't need to be clever and you don't need to bother with MLM or affiliate marketing and you don't need much money so here it is:

The Key To Big Profits

Is leverage

If you have a small amount to start as it will increase your gains. Now assume you have $100,000 to use in your business no credit checks or anything, they will just give it to you.

Sounds too good to be true?

Well open a forex account and they will give you $100k ( On a 1k deposit) to trade in the market straightaway -- Now you may say hang on:

I could not be a forex trader that's to hard -- well consider this story:

The Turtles

In the eighties legendary trader decided to prove that you didn't need a college education or a gift to trade and he set out to show how a group of traders (who became known as the turtles) who had no previous trading experience and many were from blue collar jobs that they could learn to trade.

His aim to teach them to trade in just two weeks.

The result?

These traders made him over $100 million dollars and went on to fame and fortune in their own right.

How did they do it?

Dennis taught them a specific method, money management and the confidence in the method, to follow it to long term success.

There was no filler and no complicated knowledge to learn, he kept it simple and taught them self belief.

Now could you do the same?

The answer is anyone can become a successful trader -- you may not become as rich as the turtles but the opportunity is there for all.

We mentioned leverage at the start and it is the key to making money fast but where there are big gains there are big risks to.

If however you have a money management plan which cuts losers quickly and runs profits, you can emerge a winner.

To be a forex trader from home you only need a computer, an internet connection and an hour a day max -- and that's it.

As one currency rises another must fall and vice versa so there is never a recession, you need no staff and you have no overhead, so it's the perfect business for anyone to seek big gains on a small amount of money.

I Can Get Rich Doing Nothing

by Don Alexander

You wouldn't believe how many people out there are joining home businesses, thinking that if they just join they will get rich.

Further, those same people have no operating budget, no plan, no goals, no marketing system, and basically believe that on blind faith they are going to succeed on the internet and making millions of dollars.

Here's what I have to say to these people. What in the world are you thinking? You have the vision to sign up for something, so you must have a dream. That's awesome!

But, what about the practicality and reality of things. Bottom line you are not an internet marketer. You are not someone who knows how to drive 1 or 10,000 visitors to your site every day! Reality check!

So what should these people do? They need to be realistic and plug into a marketing system that really works, is time tested, proven, and the person above you needs to be someone in the company.

If you can, I recommend signing up under the number one person in the company. That may take some homework on your part, but it's worth it!

Thousands upon thousands of people out there are signing up under nobodies. How are you going to make money and learn from someone who is number 1,512,232 in the company and is a normal Joe like you?

Get under the number one guy in any online business. This does many things. It gives you spillover because number one guys have a big recruitment base. It also helps us you learn from him, because what he does really works.

In conclusion, to all those people out there who think they are going to get rich signing up for a home business. It'll never happen. It'll never happen!

To make sure you succeed online you need to have an operating capital budget. Like anything else, your going to have to spend some money to make money. You will have to pay for online advertising, autoresponders, e-mail marketing campaigns, banner ads, e-zine ads, and so much more.

To the average Joe out there I say find yourself a company who has several people making money! Call the company president and ask him for a list of people who make over $1000 a month. If that list is not in the thousands, don't even bother!

You must treat your online business as a million dollar company. You should act like you just purchased your own company in your home town. If you did that you would advertise it, you'd tell all your friends and family about it, you'd run radio and tv ads, you'd find out about the best ways to market online and you'd implement them.

Oh, and let me say something about word-of-mouth. It is the oldest trick in the book. Wal-Mart was built on word of mouth! Yet people are afraid to simply tell others what they are doing! Fear equals false evidence appearing real. Tell others what you are marketing, and have them try it!

Oh, and finally, get with a company that has a free 14-20 day trial. If you can't try it, don't buy it. Try the company out, but in those 14 days don't just sit back and wait for the money to come in!

No, go out there and tell people about your business, advertise, tell all your friends and associates. Use all the advertising mediums and find someone who is successful online and imitate him/her.

Most of all your going to need a marketing system that works. Something that is "abc" and can be followed by a Kindergartner. Most online companies out there really don't know how to make you wealthy and have a proven system in place! They just want your up front money!

So, if you think your going to get rich just by signing up for something, think again! But if you truly want an online marketing company that has a proven marketing system--do your homework, and be realistic, your going to have to put in some good old-fashioned work and time.

Bare minimum, you need to put in 2 to 4 hours a day on the internet, placing ads, getting links to your website, and plugging into your marketing company's proven marketing system.

Plus, you need an operating budget, and you need to do exactly what your sponsor says to do to make money, and get under the top guy in the company, not the bottom...

Then, and only then, will you get rich online.

Description So many people are signing up for home businesses thinking they can get rich doing nothing...

The Fast & Easy Way to Start an Internet Home Business

Many people think that starting an Internet home business is hard. In fact, there is no business in the world that is faster or easier to launch. If you have 15 minutes and a connection to the Internet, I'll show you how to launch your own Internet business right away.

Before you launch your first Internet home business, you need to understand the basics. The first step of having a business on the Internet is having your own website. This is the major stumbling block for most people. They think getting a website is expensive or difficult. It's neither of those things. Actually, it's free and it's easy. In fact, let's go ahead and get your first website setup right now.

To do this I recommend using a free tool called Blogger. Blogger is used for creating blogs on the fly, but a blog is nothing more than a fancy name for a website. To set up your blog website now visit: http://www.Blogger.com

Once you arrive, click the "Create Your Blog Now" button on the page. On the next page enter a user name, password, display name and email address. Then click "Continue". On the next page enter a blog title and blog address. These can be anything you want. Then enter the word verification code and click "Continue". On the next page choose a template for your blog (this is what your website will look like) and click "Continue". Voila... Your blog/website has been created!

Next, click the "Start Posting" button. A new page will appear giving you the option to add content to your new website. Write a title for your page in the "Title" field and then write whatever you want that page of your website to be about in the larger data entry field below the "Title" field on that page. You can use the tools on that page to change your fonts, make links, format your text, add pictures, etc. When you're happy with what you've entered into the page, click the "Publish Post" button. You just created a new page on your website! On the next page displayed, you'll see a link that says: "View Blog". Click that link and you'll see your website live on the Internet. Pretty easy, right?! ;-) Now you can wash, rinse, repeat and create as many new pages on your website as you want.

But let's turn your website into a business first. After all, websites are a lot more fun once they are making money for you.

Here's how:

Get back into your Blogger account and click the "Template" tab. Then click the "AdSense" link near the top of the page. AdSense is a simple but powerful program that allows you to earn advertising revenue from your website. Follow the easy instructions on that page to launch your AdSense account instantly. On the next page click the "Save" button to save AdSense into your website. Then on the next page click the "Republish" button. Your website will instantly be rebuilt now showing a Google AdSense ad at the top of each page on your website. Every time someone visits your website and clicks one of those ads, you earn money from AdSense. You now have a moneymaking business setup on the Internet. How long did that take? 15 minutes! ;-)

The only thing you need to do now to start the cash flowing in is get people to visit your new website. One way to do this would be to tell your friends and family about your site. Here are two more easy things you can do to drive an unstoppable flow of traffic to your new website:

Traffic Strategy 1: Tell all the major blog directories about your new blog/website. To do this, visit http://www.PingoMatic.com and enter your blog name, blog URL (that's the link to your website generated by Blogger), check all the boxes on that page and click the "Send Pings" button. This will tell all the blog directories about your new blog/website and you'll start getting some traffic from interested visitors to those directories. Do this each time you add a new page to your blog.

Traffic Strategy 2: Go back to your blog URL/home page and click the "Next Blog" button at the top of the page. This will take you to another blog of another Blogger user. Read through a post or two on that person's blog and look for a link that says "Comments" and click it. On the next page you'll be able to type your comments and a link back to your blog inside a form. Once you've added your comments, click the "Login and Publish" button; and a link to your site along with your comments will be added to that blog. Repeat this process as many times as you want with other blog websites. This will "link you in" to a network of sites all over the Internet helping you drive a steady stream of traffic to your blog.

Blogger is a great tool to launch your Internet home business, but it's not the only tool you should be using. To build a solid Internet home business that you can rely on, you need to register your own domain name and website hosting account. A domain name is your unique home on the web that you own and control. Example: domain names are yahoo.com, ebay.com, google.com, etc.

You could either register your own name as a domain or a keyword of something related to the topic of your business. Either way, if you are going to have a legitimate long-term home business on the Internet, a domain name and website hosting account are required. When choosing a domain name and hosting account, it's important to select a company that has a track record for success. The company I host all my websites with is at: http://www.PlugInProfitHost.com

This top-rated website hosting company also provides several turn-key Internet home businesses called "Plug-In Profit Sites" such as the service I provide to Host4Profit customers myself at: http://www.HomeBusiness.us. The Plug-In Profit Site is a very popular and easy way to start earning multiple streams of income on the Internet. In fact, in addition to the blog you launched a few moments ago, you can get a Plug-In Profit Site setup in the next 24 hours and add another 6 easy streams of income to your Internet home business.

Alternatively, there are other turn-key Internet home business systems such as the one described at: http://www.HomeBusiness.org which provides a proven formula to start making money online within minutes of signing up. In fact, I earn an extra 5-figures every month using the above mentioned system myself.

As you can see, starting an Internet home business is actually a very fast and easy thing to do. Now that you know this, there should be nothing stopping you from earning a little extra income from home on the Internet. Persevere and you can make it your living just like myself and countless others have done.

Traffic Secrets - Secrets of the Guaranteed Traffic Companies Exposed

Our Story

A few years ago, we were struggling to drive traffic to one of our websites. We were immediately overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge and skill it took to successfully drive traffic to our site. We had assumed that if we created a site that was worth seeing, it would be seen. We could not have been more wrong.

We ran into a number of companies who offered to take over this daunting task for us. We decided to try out a number of them to see how our competition stacks up.

They offered many packages of visitors. I remember my first purchase. I bought 5,000 targeted hits from them for $10. My product cost $15 at the time, so I figured at least 1 person out of 10,000 would purchase. The days went by, and my counter went crazy.

The Results

After our contract expired, all my hits had been delivered as expected. I did not have one sale!!

I Should Have Learned My Lesson!

Thinking this had to be a fluke.. I switched to another company, and bought the same package.

Again, I GOT NO SALES!!

I couldn't figure out what was going on. I was confident my ad's were written well. The site was well designed and planned, and my product was in demand...

I Started To Investigate

Frustrated, I started to investigate exactly where these visitors were coming from. I discovered, that I had fallen victim to one of the most common scams on the internet. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first discovered the secrets these company's use to drive traffic to the clients sites.

I checked the script I had installed that was used to check detailed stats on all of our traffic. All 10,000 of our hits came in 2 days, and all 10,000 of them were logged in for less than 3 seconds. Not a single one of them navigated past our main page. My stats script will also tell me where my traffic was referred from, and what keywords they used. All of these hits had the same referral, and didn't use keywords. This last fact isn't important, because any company, good or bad, will redirect their traffic sources through their domain. This is just to keep competitors from stealing their sources (good or bad).

I believe that these company's are going to pay for their greed and dishonesty sometime in the near future.

In the next few pages, we are going to reveal exactly how these greedy companies scam you. This will help you avoid such scams, and put your money to good use, instead of wasting it.

You Will Be Shocked at what these company's do to send you traffic!

This is the most immoral, unethical, and dishonest business practice I have ever come across online. These companies know exactly what they're doing. After all, if their traffic methods work, wouldn't they use it themselves? Why is a company offering millions of hits to their visitors, when they are only getting 10-15 hits a day? They don't use their own methods, because they know their hits are useless.

I fell victim to this scam, as have thousands of others. These companies give you a sales pitch something like this...

Suppose that you sell a product for $25 and that in a worst case scenario only 1% of your visitors purchase your product.

An average site gets less than 100 hits per day (3,000/month). Thus, approximately 30 people will purchase the product every month (1% of 3,000). That means you are taking in only $750 per month (30 x $25)

With our service: Suppose the site owner (you) purchases 100,000 visitors with our service. Using our assumption that only 1% of visitors will purchase the product, a total of 1,000 purchases will be made. That's a value of$25,000! And that is if only 1% of visitors purchase the product! Think about the return on your investment!

If you're like me, you got pretty excited when you read that. After all, there's no conceivable way you can't at least earn your investment back, right? WRONG!!

You give in, order their service, and at first, you get excited, because traffic is pouring in! Soon you realize that your money is earning you nothing. In fact it's costing you your bandwidth, and not delivering any results!

Of course no company, no matter how credible they are, can guarantee you sales. That depends highly on your ad copy, price, and the demand of the item. I can guarantee though, that some of these company's have thousands of clients, and not one of their clients has ever made a sale.

I bought my traffic... Now where are all my orders?

Now remember, worst case scenario is that 1% of your visitors will buy your product. Right? WRONG! If that's the case, then where are your orders? These company's place these ads right in your face when you visit their website. This way, your sold before you even see the price, and you'll buy into their high prices.

Naturally you are going to believe that you'll pay off your "investment" right away, and make a ton of extra money. After all, you spent hours writing that "perfect ad," so you're going to draw in a lot more than 1%.

I'll let you in on a secret. No matter how good your ad is, it doesn't do any good if it's never read.

You sit there and watch traffic come flying in at hyperspeed. Then they fly out. You don't make any sales. What do you do now? If you're like me, you're going to email them, complaining how you didn't make any sales from their services. They're going to tell you some variation of the following...

"I'm sorry you didn't make any sales. If you read our terms, you would see that we can only guarantee that we send the traffic to you. The sales are your responsibility. We cannot guarantee sales, because we are not involved in the writing of the advertisement."

This leaves them clean from delivering any refunds. Trust me, they won't refund your money!

Starting to get suspicious? The truth is your traffic was delivered in a misleading way.

You were sent FAKE VISITORS, or GHOST VISITORS, as they are widely called online.

Have you been tracking your traffic?

Many people don't realize that there are free scripts that you can install on your site to track detailed statistics about your traffic. I'm not talking about counters. Counters are inaccurate, plus they don't tell you anything about your visitors.

If you actually monitor your traffic, you can learn lots of things about your visitors. Including the countries they're from, their IP addresses, the time they came to your site, the time they left your site, the site's they were referred from (google, yahoo, etc..), and the keywords they used to search for your site.

My statistics were shocking!

The traffic I ordered had no IP address, no search engine, none of my visitors navigated past the front page! I paid for these "Guarantee'd Real Visitors," and I have the right to know where they come from. Guess what, I figured it out!

A few of the hits that they had sent, slipped up, and didn't disguise their origin as well as they should have...

I kept seeing the same IP address over and over and over again about 900 times in one day. I thought somebody out there really must love my web site or it's the scam hit company I hired. Well I clicked the link that night which was labeled with an IP address, not the actual web site .com name itself just the numbers of the IP address....I clicked that and wouldn't you know it? I received just a site telling me it doesn't exist.

With my campaign still running the next day along with all the "unknown" places I seen a peculiar url and had to click that to see where over 500 of the same people were coming from and I ended up in Pop Up hell! You know that hell don't you? Where you are swarmed with so many pop ups that you literally have to pull the plug on your computer to get out of it? The sad part about that link is that all the Pop Ups were from PORNO sites!

It's no wonder these companies don't tell where they deliver their traffic from! After all, what ethical business wants to advertise on those disgusting adult sites?

So you want to know exactly how this all works?

After following the slipped up referral link, I was directed to a website where anyone can post their own free adult site. (If your going to try and follow these links yourself, I would suggest switching your browser to text only mode, as I did. Otherwise you'll get flooded with pop-ups, and disgusting porno pictures.)

Now we have determined that my traffic was coming from this site, but I didn't see my site at all...

I switched back to my traffic log, and hit refresh. I WAS STUNNED! At the top of my log, I had 12 hits to my site, all with my IP address!!! By viewing this site just once, I recieved 12 hits!!

I switched over to www.Alexa.com. Alexa is a site ranking service, that can tell you how popular a site is. This adult site that I was listed on was recieving 786,376 hits per day, on average during that week. Multiply that by 12, and that's where all my traffic came from!

So now we know what site is generating the traffic, but how are they disguising the IP address. Why wasn't my site ever shown on screen to me? The answer lies in the HTML source code...

Here are the secret codes!!

One of the tricks that these companies use is a the way they hide where your traffic is coming from. The way they do this is through a redirect code. A redirect code is simply a cade that webmasters use on their websites to take one website and send it another way.

The biggest trick is how they can mysteriously load your site multiple times, without you seeing it. They do this by embedding your site into theirs, and making it tiny. So tiny in fact, that it looks like a period. So instead of using periods at the end of their sentances, they just embed their clients sites sites to look like a period.

Try it for yourself

Open up your HTML editor, or notepad, and create a sample page using this code.






www.CadenzaWeb.com>


Now open it in your web browser. What you get is a small box in the left hand corner of your website. For this example, I made the code 5x larger than these companies do. So you can see how easily they disguise these sites. Inside that little square, is actually an entire website!!

So your thinking, they just embed my site into that little square, 10-15 times on the page, and that's where my hits come from. Yes, and No. Essentially that's how it works, but if they put your website into that square, you could easily trace the traffic back to the adult site. So what they do is put their redirect page into that square, and redirect it to your site, so now it looks like all the traffic is coming from them.

So let's put it all together.

You order traffic from a traffic company.

The traffic company creates a free adult site and lists it into a directory of free adult sites. According to our alexa review these sites get 786,376 hits per day. If their redirect page gets 12 hits every time someone loads the adult site, that means they have an average of 9,436,512 hits per day, which they divide among their clients.

For some of the Monster Traffic Companies, 9.5 million visitors a day just isn't enough. They can easily turn that 9.5 million visitors, into as many as they need. Instead of embedding the redirect page. They embed a page full of these periods. That way, when their "period farm" page loads, they can have as many sites load as they want.

They simply change the redirect page to whatever client they want the traffic sent to.

Your counter goes crazy, and all your hits are delivered.

You never make a sale. Now you can understand how you could have thousands of visitors sent your way, and never make a sale. Your site is never really displayed.

The traffic company has delivered exactly what they said they would, and are clear from any refunds.
