Internet Marketing Is So Technical

Something occurred to me recently. Not all marketers really know how to do all the work required to create squeeze pages, create tracking and cloaking links, publish video, and other internet stuff which will help them become profitable. Most of this I had to spend hours on the computer figuring out. When I post articles or send out information, I work under the assumption that people already know or can figure this stuff out. Well, I probably shouldn’t assume these things. You know what happens when you assume things.

So, you tell me what you need to know. I won’t tell you that I am an expert at HTML or PHP. But, I will tell you that I understand enough of it to do what I need to do. With that said, send some questions my way. Even if I don’t know all the answers, I will find out, or show you where to go.

My goal with this blog is to give people the tools to make money online without spending their life savings. You shouldn’t have to give your money to people who just want you to buy their newest and coolest product. If you have the right tools, you will need very little money to get your business off the ground.

There are three main pages being shown in traffic exchanges, going from best to worst:

  1. Personal squeeze or lead capture pages
  2. Affiliate splash pages
  3. Affiliate links

I would never put up affiliate links in rotation. They are very ineffective. There is just too much information.

The best is to display personal squeeze, or lead capture, pages. You will then be able to promote your programs to your subscribers. This is the  best option, especially when you build a large list of subscribers.

Affiliate splash pages, the splash pages that your affiliate programs provide, can be effective if used properly. In traffic exchanges, you only have a brief moment to capture your visitor’s attention. You need to have a way for your ad to stand out. This is where personal branding comes in.

I do like to promote my programs in traffic exchanges to supplement my email campaigns. In that case, I like to use personal branding. The best site that I have found that does that for you is Vital Viral Pro. You can enter each of your sites and place your picture and a short testimonial on every affiliate splash page that you promoting. Now, when visitors start recognizing your face, they will be more inclined to click on your ad.

You can also set up rotators to group like campaigns to maximize your available sites in your traffic exchanges.

Inside the member area, you will be able to find how many views you have had, how many clicks, and at which exchanges. It is all summarized in a cool graphical dashboard that gives you a good idea how well your campaigns are doing.

Another great thing, and a powerful tool in Vital Viral Pro is that you can have a banner and text links in the “viral bar.” This gives more exposure to your other programs. Not only that, when someone joins under you in Vital Viral Pro, they will be able to join you in your other programs that you have listed in the members area.

If you want another way to brand yourself in the traffic exchanges, stop on by and grab your free membership by visiting the clicking the banner below. Or, you can also download the ebook to learn more about it from the owner by clicking here.
