    I was looking for a review also, but since it has not been live for too long probably not many yet.

    Also since it mentions the Worrier Forum on the sales page you probably won't find any negative reviews here.

    MODERATOR You clearly don't know this forum very well ;-)

    So I am going to just go for it and get a refund if it is not what it says it is.

    It's a good course if you're looking for an overview of how buying media traffic works, an explanation of terms (what is CPM? What is a Landing Page?) or a walk through of starting campaigns on the various ad networds. But if you're looking for killer, little known tactics to amp up your advertising you won't find any here.

    P.S. Tip to creator of course: Invest in high quality microphone before doing a audio/video course. The sound levels were weak and sounded like you were in a tunnel.

    Ok, I just got it and watched video #1. I will update when I finished.

    UPDATE: Ok, I'm not done yet, but I already learned a lot from the first 5 videos.

    My take on this: If you need to learn more about Media buying and how to start, you don't need anything else than this course.

    I'm going to market all my products and affiliate offers via banners. I already started actually.

      Solid course for someone who has a decent basic understanding of ppc and is ready to expand beyond Google. Support is very good. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

        I'm watching video 7, and now, I'm impressed. I don't need anything else about banner ads. Kudos for JM.

        If you are interested about banner ads, get it right now (and if you are serious, I have a nice bonus as well).

          I found the course to be ok. It's much more impressive when just getting started, but once you begin taking action, you'll find that there is plenty of additional considerations that were'nt mentioned in the course, or glossed over, and find it time consuming to fill those gaps. I do not believe this was intentional, but it is still a bit frustrating.

          I also have already found that the estimated costs and clicks advertised were a bit optimistic. My costs are 2 - 3 times what the advertising told me to expect, and that's not just in 1 niche, but in all 7 of the markets I've targeted, so I have found this to be a bit of a disappointment for me.

          But overall, for someone who wants a very basic introduction, it's ok. In hindsight, this is not a purchase I'd likely make again, but then again I was looking for something more complete and advanced. But with that being said it's obvious Jonathan knows his stuff, and it seems he has put a lot of effort into delivering and I am hoping some more advanced offerings or updates to the system are in the works.

          I like Jonathans style and raw approach, and would consider anything he brings to the table. One of the few marketers whom I will open any email from just to have a peek.

    I purchased it as well and I thought it was a solid introductory course. It goes over the basics and fundamentals and gives some good resources on where to get started.

    However, as someone who has already been in media buying for awhile - I was expecting to get more information on intermediate and advanced strategies. I plan on remaining in the program to see if further information and modules are released as they mention the possibility of other material coming.

    I bought it during a launch a couple of months ago. Overall I am happy with the purchase. For the price point, I'd like to see a lot more granular discussion and information, There are a lot of things covered, but a lot of things not covered as well. I did make some media buys and I actually got better conversion rates than they talked about, but there are some gotchas. I bought it because I wanted to know more about PPV specifically. I bought MassPPV as well, and the two together actually gave me enough info to move forward.

    I also learned some things that MassPPV did to make their numbers so good, but neither course went into that.

    This course is very basic. If you are just getting started with media buying this will give you an introduction.

    Actually, the number one complaint we get is that the course is too advanced. It's true we go over definitions like CPM, Frequency Caps, EPC and other basic info, however you'd be surprised how few marketers (even Warriors) know what those really mean.

    On the other hand, we delve into moving from CPM to CPA, scaling up your traffic, and remarketing with banners that "stalk" your prospects all over the web until they buy, none of which are covered in most of the $2000 courses out there.

    We really tried to make sure the beginners were covered, and the more advanced marketers were given techniques (and resources) they can use out the gate.

      Jonathan:

      I purchased and went over your course a while ago. I also found the course to be on the thin side. OK for beginners, but that's about it. Sorry to be so blunt, but was expecting a lot more.

      I'm hoping that you'll be adding modules to it, to fill in the missing gaps.

      Where in the course can I find the "remarketing with banners that "stalk" your prospects all over the web until they buy" that you mention above?

        Jonathan added the remarketing module in addition to the video lesson in the main members area page.

        For me, the course was an eye opener to a new world. It makes Google look so small (it actually is...).

          Excellent stuff.

          This last module must have just been added the past few days, as I keep logging in to the site often. Also, there was no email sent about an update. I bought this in October. In the past, I received an email whenever there was something new added.

          This is the type of material that I was expecting from Jonathan.

          Thanks,

          Michael

            This remarketing trick is killer. Didn't know about this, really powerful when you think about it.

            As for the update, you need to keep an eye in the TE forum.

              Just bought TE for the currently reduced price of $200

              So far, I wtched only the first 4 videos, printed out the accompanying pdf slides.

              Here are my first impressions:

              the videos are very well made
              so far, everything looks like as promised in the sales letter
              So far, I really love what I've seen
              I think this is excellent for everyone starting out in media buys. I quickly skimmed through all the slides: most of the content looks like beginner level, some sections contain intermediate material.
              People who already have good knowledge and experience with media buys might feel there is a bit of lack of advanced material.

              Careful, when I'm talking about beginner, I'm talking about starters in media buys. This course is definitely not for newbie marketers. To make this work, you need to have a solid understanding & experience with tracking & conversion (ads, landing pages, emails...). Media buying is somewhat risky and you can quickly lose a lot of money!

              Shortcomings:

              Not much so far. The only tiny thing is that some slides don't match what's shown in the video presentation - but nothing really to worry about.


              Hope this helps some people.

      The "Advanced Course" just came out several weeks ago. I'm in it and so far so good.

      There's some cool little affiliate tricks I've learned so far and the forum support is fantastic. The community seems to be rather advanced too. It's nice to chat w/ other people that actually know what a capture page is and what a "split test" is.. hehe.

      PS - based on the feedback from their customers and here, it looks like they're listening to everyone's needs for more advanced stuff.. and they're delivering :-)

    Jonathan Mizel's Traffic Evolution should not be confused with Tom Miller's product of the same name.
    Tom changed the name of his Traffic Revolution to Traffic Evolution after receiving so much flack in the following thread.

      Jonathan -

      I'm one of your $197.00 customers. A couple months ago I participated in a discussion on your TE blog - regarding original TE customers receiving updates to the course. You or Jayson wrote that updates to the course would be free.

      After contacting support I was told that my purchase had to be within the last 6 months for this upgrade. And your blog has disappeared.

      Do you have any regard for the people who handed you $197.00 when you first launched TE?

        I went through Jonathan's traffic evolution and I was extremely impressed. I didn't know a whole lot about media buying going into the course - so for me there was a lot of "wow" moments about things I didn't know or hadn't heard about.

        Maybe I got more out of the course than the average person would because I came into without much knowledge - but I found that the modules were laid out well and easy to grasp and simple to follow... which in my book you really can't ask for more than that.

        The biggest takeaway I got is that google, in the grand scheme of things, only delivers about 20% of traffic on the net (or around there). So what about the other 80%? Jonathan shows how to get THAT type of traffic. The cool thing is that EVERYONE else focuses on Google, so these other sources of traffic are CHEAPER (if you do it right) and overall less competition.

        I also found the different media buying platforms he showed were great, regarding the tools they provide within them. As a fairly savvy marketer with these "under the radar" media platforms with the tools at my disposal they provide - this makes media buying attractive to me.... because I know have a competitive advantage from the start.

        Bottom line - I liked it a lot.

          The issue has been resolved and I've been granted access to the updated course. There has been many changes since TE originally launched - not the least are new self-serve platforms. Thanks Jonathan and the TE team.

          Albeit there is a lot of "broad brush" info, this is a great course. These guys have many years of experience and really know this game. Media buying is not for newbies.

          • Profile picture of the author Vjack
            BTW - Albeit that newbies should master what to do with the traffic before venturing into media buying - this could be the game changer that many marketers are looking for. Those with some creativity will see a lot of dots that can connect.

            I've never seen anything written about SEO that wasn't not just inspiration - but divine inspiration to just buy the traffic. The same applies to article marketing. This is probably the best value ever offered here for a course on media buying and they offer a forum for a reasonable price. And what I like about these guys is that they are not the typical IM peddlers that periodically pop-up here with embellished BS from friends and repurposed material. These guys are in a different league.

    Eleven months since my purchase of this course...
    This is an excellent introductory course on how to buy online traffic. This course contains exactly what it says on the sales page, so it delivers as promised. Mizel is a trusted source, so the credibility is as expected.

    The value (dollar:training) is very good for it's intended audience, the beginner. I appreciate having a course of foundational understanding. There are actually nuggets in here for the intermediate buyer, but you have to pay close attention. It may not show up as a bullet point.

    Recommendation: If you're looking to get started with getting traffic through paid sources and you want to learn from a single source with reliable, accurate information then I would highly recommend this course. You won't be left wanting.

    This looks exactly like the type of course I am looking for to get into paid traffic - Does anyone know If this has been updated recently as the initial release date was quite a long time ago. While some things will always be the same. I would imagine the places used for advertising can become over crowded.
    Thanks
