Traffic Fusion Review, a Review Of Mike Filsaime’s Traffic Fusion Product

Posted 09-12-2008 at 11:53 PM by Daniel McGonagle

You can read the original traffic Fusion Review here at

Traffic Fusion Review: STOP and think about what you're doing here... | Online Marketing Guide |Internet Business Advice

Review in a nutshell: The Traffic Fusion product by Mike Filsaime is nothing new.

Then again, there isn’t a whole lot that’s new with anything on the Internet these days, especially when it comes to internet marketing.

With Traffic Fusion you get software, videos and a home study course. All top quality stuff but basically it’s an amalgamation of a few resources including some Java software that isn’t really new, either.

…but there will be a lot of people promoting the heck out of this because it is a high-end product.

Look, there was Stomper.net’s release, and before that was John Reese’s Traffic Secrets and those 2 guys are known for their SEO expertise.

However, there are a few things you should know about these types of products…

To utilize all the comprehensive information handed down to you from comprehensive traffic courses like Traffic Fusion, Stomper, and Traffic Secrets (1 and 2) will take you a long, long time to understand and implement.
SEO rules and algorithms change quite often so by the time these products are released, they’re a little behind the times ( a little!)
By the time you go through each and every piece of information delivered to you in these courses, more time has lapsed.
And by the time you start implementing the methods (which may seem overwhelming if its truly a comprehensive course…) weeks and months will have passed.
One other thing most of these products fail to teach you is:

You may not need a whole lot of traffic to do well online, just targetted traffic
The source of your traffic is the most important thing
What to do with your traffic once you start getting it is often an overlooked factor.
You need to shoot level with your internet business and that means you must start slowly…
To order a traffic course thinking that it will make you an overnight superstar is short-sighted, at best.

But you don’t have to listen to me, go order from someone who has an over-priced bonus to offer you as further compulsion to buy this “do it all” product for you… and see for yourself.

Do you want traffic? Here are some ways…

Article marketing
Blog commenting
Give away free software
Giveaway events
Give away free ebooks at free ebook sites
Get a WordPress blog optimized properly
Guest author posts on others’ blogs
Link build with one-way links and RSS
List build for recycled traffic
Social bookmarking individual pages
Write good content, unique content
It’s still all the same as it ever was… nothing’s really changed at the level most people are at with their business.

Just pick one of those methods mentioned above and learn it well, (which may take you weeks or months), then implement a new traffic generation strategy and learn how to do that well, too.

OR… buy a high-priced traffic course because spending a lot of money will motivate you to do more with your money spent (this time…)

Seeing as how we’ve had 3 Traffic Product launches this year, I think we’re overdue for the next PayPerclick-> Clickbank guide, and there’s usually about 2-3 of those big launches per year, too.

The reason these types of products keep coming out is because traffic is the lifeblood of your business, and if handled properly will make you a ton of money (but it’s not the only thing you need to focus on).

What are your goals?
How targetted is your traffic?
Got a marketing funnel set up to make the most of your traffic?
How about a way to increase sales with less traffic (focus on conversions)?
How many people does it take to have working for you to get the traffic the sales page implies you will get?
What about people? You know, the ones visiting your site…

Is your site making them happy?
Is your content good and easy to read?
Is your site easily navigated?
Is your site set up properly for Silo Strucutre or deep inner linking?
Do you have analytics software and stat counters installed to see where your BEST traffic is coming from?
I could go on and on with this, but the point is, the TRUE secret to success is building upon one thing at a time by shooting level.

Learn one traffic skill, then adapt another once you actually know something.

Thanks,

Dan

    Hi Dan,

    I posted a comment on your personal blog about this. I agree that the GURUs are pushing their wares and many change things that have been previously put out.

    One of the problems I see is that for some reason, they think we all have deep pockets and can dump tons of money into anything they want to sell us.

    When I see the price of some of their stuff, I just click away from the page. I miss out on a lot of stuff because I don't have the deep pockets I wish I had.

    I only wish that some day I will find something that will take me to retirement that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. Nothing I have found yet (that I could afford to buy) has proven to produce anything for me.

    I am working on getting a Text Ad site built but I have not gotten it launched as yet. Maybe that will afford me a "little" income so I can start buying into some of these GURU tactics.

    Newbies have to start out small just like the GURUs did. We cannot just dump everything we have into something and hope for the best. Taking risks is part of entrepreneurship, but my heart isn't strong enough for some of the risks that are offered up these days.

    Peace,
    Leon

    Hi Leon,

    Thanks for the feedback and comment.

    This is NOT an "anti-guru, I-don't-make-any-money-so-i-hate-those-who-do" type of rant as others will like to deem it because they're promoting it...

    Just a dose of reality for those who aren't ready for the product yet. Guru-bashing and the US versus THEM angle is and old tactic for getting attention and that's not my goal here at all, FYI...

    Someday I hope there are more people who are ready for this type of product, but it seems like with the internet marketing HERD mentality, some people just have to be told or encouraged how to think for themselves as business-people.

    As you will notice if you go back to that post, part 2, there was a comment made that proves what I said, that this is nothing new and overpriced....

    Hi Dan, I'm new to Warrior but enjoyed your perspective and found it to be right on and logical! You described what I've gone thru with all my blogs. It's a labor and there is not short cuts from the tried and true....be prepared, bloggers and website owners, if you want to monetize your website, it's hard work, and routine procedure sprinkled with layers of new skills and creativity! =)
