Traffic Sources

With Google banning people, affiliates that find other traffic sources that convert well are going to be the ones left. I'm not asking anyone to out their money maker, but let us know of any complete duds or any ones that have potential so we know where to start testing.

Me personally, Ive read that Adbrite was complete crap traffic, but this post says otherwise: Site for Sale: Profit Generating Monster Affiliate Website Well Known Product — Flippa

I've heard that Facebook works if you have a system of mass submitting ads. Haven't heard anything on Myspace.

Ive tried Mediatraffic. Had some winners, but overall wasn't happy with the roi versus the time spent replacing offers when "conversions suddenly decreased" *cough*. Haven't personally tried zango but its either the 'ish or sucks depending on who and what you believe.

Feel free to add. If there's anything you dont want to out in public PM or Twitter me...

    I'm very interested in this as well. I need to get a Facebook & Twitter set up I suppose and get going in some direction. I feel like I am just in a rut and can't get going again.

      Have you been banned by Google? I haven't but I wasn't running much rebill with them so I probably flew under the radar.

      On a sidenote, I wish twitter released an ad platform

    Obviously Yahoo and MS PPC as an alternative to Adwords.
    FacebookAds and MyspaceAds for Social PPC/CPM.

    Yahoo also opened Y! "My Display Ads" lately.
    Cost per View Networks like Traffic Vance and Media Traffic are also relevant. StumbleUpon Ads is also interesting, although special to use.

    Then there are all kinds of media buys with different ad-networks available.

    I think those are the main valid sources for me.

      Hi,

      I would like to know more about Google banning people.

      What do u mean guys?

      Is it banning your AdSense account or banning your site?

      Never have such experience.

      Thanks

    The easiest thing to do if you were having success with Google - jump over to Yahoo and MSN.

    Also facebook is easy as well - no QS, no slaps, less worry about keywords

    I started to advertise on Bing. It's popularity has gown big since the expensive ad campaign they ran. It's too soon to see if this is going to be a valuable resource. I will post my findings soon.

    Forget Adwords, it will just cause you more headaches in the long run. Switch over to Yahoo and Bing as it's much easier on advertisers.

    I advertised on Facebook once for an affiliate product. I did about 50 / 50 after expenses. I plan to do it again soon. The clicks were a lot cheaper than Google and I was happy that I actually sold something. You can also target your market a lot better on Facebook as you can market to people of a certain age, target people with specific keywords, target specific workplaces, etc.
