Most effective traffic?

8 replies
Hello fellow warriors, I must admit, I haven't been much of a contributor to this forum but this forum has helped me gain lot of the knowledge that has guided me tremendously on my journey to my goal which is the one we all share - high ROI percentages!

Firstly, I'd like to share my experience as being a newcomer to affiliate marketing. I have been at it for almost a year and I have tried many sources of traffic - PPV, PPC, SEO, Free Traffic (Forums, Yahoo answers etc) and even though I have had some success, it never paid the rent if you know what i mean (only my experience). Recently I have tried to expand my ideas and really try to put myself in the shoes of potential leads, buyers etc. However, it still didn't quite result in the ROI that I was after (but it was a good start).

In the last couple of months though, I have been working with a new traffic source that has been providing me with incredible ROI's (MediaBuys) and I have made some decent bank.

The reason that I'm posting this thread is to encourage affiliates that may be close to giving up. My personal opinion is that you need to find the traffic source that works best for you! I know that testing, tracking and analysis play a large role in maximizing conversions but I believe that your choice of traffic greatly affects your conversion rates and most of your outcomes will be greatly influenced this.

So again (only my opinion) I suggest: try as many different sources of traffic that you can - experiment with a decent investment, stay persistent and never give up! Which brings me to my question - What is your preferred source of traffic? I believe that everyone is different and everyone has the potential to succeed - but of course, it takes hard work (as with everything in life.)

    The most PREFERRED traffic of mine would probably be targeted website traffic using SEO. People that search up a specific niche and follow to a very relative website, that's the traffic you want. You have the person's full interest. Obviously PPC are close seconds, especially when you target relevant keywords/demographics.

      Most effective traffic source. Why traffic from a targeted mailing list relevant to your niche of course.

      Building niche lists can seem daunting but there are plenty of WSO's available that can help.

      Just make sure you don't abus your lists. Do not spam. Send quality offers to your lists, build a report, and you have the best traffic source imaginable.

      Paid traffic sources are good if you are selling a product with a high profit margin. If not, I'd concentrate on building your list by providing value - and free stuff - to customers.

    In my opinion Organic traffic from search engines is the best traffic there is one problem is you need to be ranking on the first few pages to get any qauntity. This can take time and money. Second choice would be buying from a targeted mailing list relevant to your niche.
