Default Guaranteed Traffic

Hello,
I have read your posts regarding your desire for guaranteed targeted traffic.

I agree that Google and Overture are great tools, however the costs can be in excess of $5000-7000 per month and that is too costly for most small businesses. Additionally this takes a great deal of time to manage effectively.

I am aware of a company service that guarantees placement for a monthly fee. Packages go up in price depending on how many search engines you want top 10 on. They only cover the major ones.

The website is <url snipped>. If you would like assistance or have questions feel free to send them my way as I am an now an agent for the company since it has helped so many of my previous clients.

Feel free to get in touch with me to join the service, after all you scratch my back and I will scatch yours!

Default Internet Advncement - not worth it

I also have a website, www.ebizcompany.com. I was looking for a marketing company I could pay and they could get me the results I was looking for. I came across Internet Advancement, who guaranteed after a $1000+ set up fee and $89/month they would get me hundreds of visitors/day.

7 months and many promises later, Still no more than 10 visitors/day. When I went to get my money back from the guarantee, they said it was only good for 6 months and after that I could no longer get a refund. They gave me my last few months free to try and get my site going...I am still trying to collect my money!

Stay away from Internet Advancement.

Default Have Site, Need Traffic

Speaking from very fresh experience, the best way to generate traffic and sales to your site is signing up as a merchant in affiliate programs, for example www.linkshare.com, www.befree.com, www.cj.com, www.performics.com. And when you sign up you get to choose how you pay, (i.e. CPA, CPL, CPS). Now these programs are very expensive to join, but are worth it, and if you do decide to join, speaking from experience only pay out on a commission basis per sale, this way you are not paying for "visitors" or "Shoppers" but rather for "buyers". If these programs are to expensive for you then of course stick with a reputable company for keyword advertising such as google or overture. I recently went with a company who I am not going to name for various reasons, but the traffic they sent us was 67% bots, it took us 3 days to analyze the data but that’s what we came up with and when we approached the company they said to send them the info for themselves to “analyze” and if there is one of their affiliates driving this kind of traffic they will be removed, it has been 2 weeks now and we have not received a refund in anyway and the rep stopped taking my calls. It just goes to show stick with what’s proven and works, this way even if it doesn’t work for you at least you will know you weren’t swindled out of your money; you just need to change your campaign until you find one that works best for you (of course in a timely and not so costly fashion).
