Since I can get busy at times, I've thuoght about giving Mike Filsaine's Traffic Sage a
try. Even though I can do most of the things myself, if I hire these guys, I can concentrate
on other things, such as creating more products.

Have anyone at all used trafficsage.com and have have a large increase in traffic, backlinks, etc? Its a little pricey but may be well worth it if it produces.

Well...I've had traffic sage recommended to me by a few people in the past and I believe traffic sage assigns you a small group of people that work on your tasks with one manager over seeing everthing and corresponding with you... for the price they charge it should be really good. However I do believe the outsourcing comes from India. I've been told that outsourcing is much better from the Phillipines but truthfully I haven't outsourced to either. Goog luck!

I am one of the partners in Traffic Sage along with Ron Douglas. Let me give you my extremely biased viewpoint

Yes, our teams are in India. However, they are very good at what they do. The content produced is also reviewed and edited by staff whose primary language is English.

Does that mean it's perfect? No, of course not.

Keep in mind that our teams write for MANY different niches. We're better at some than others, at least until the team becomes more acclimated to the niche.

As stated, we assign a team leader to each client so communication is limited to one on one. But you have control. No content gets posted unless approved by you. If you don't like an article, say so and it'll be edited or completely rewritten. There is a lot of flexibility.

As far as results, the first thing I will say is, if you expect drastic changes in a month, you'll be disappointed. The idea here is white hat, steady growth of backlinks and content. We have had awesome results for some clients, not so good for others. Again, it has to do with things like the niche, feedback from the client, keyword selection (which is normally provided by the client, but our team can help with that) and other factors.

As for outsourcing from India vs. Philippines, I think it's like anything else - you'll find some good and some bad. You can find both here in the U.S. as well, only you may pay a lot more for it

PM me if you have any questions, or email mike@trafficsage.com

Thanks.

has anyone else tried traffic sage? i don't want to know what the owners have to say because they could just be lying! i have emailed mike and got a reply then when i asked what he could do with my site i have just been ignored, so comunication isnt so good so i don't know what to think

cypherslock

Nice attitude. sheesh. Consider that they have to work on paying client accounts right? And odds are your query is answered in the sales material as well. "could just be lying..." real nice.

MikeAmbrosio

Sure I could be lying. But I'm not.

Food for thought...when people always expect the worst they will usually get the worst.

As for your email, I did get it and I will answer it. I have been helping a good friend on a product launch and have been preoccupied. Lotta late nights lately

Finally, if you read my post above you will largely know what to expect. It's close to what I would write in my email anyway. I personally think I was pretty honest - I stated that you probably won't see significant results in the first month. Maybe not even the second.

I will also say this...

If you are hoping traffic in the first month will generate enough sales to pay for the next month, then save your money. I don't want clients who are scraping their last dollar to pay for a month with hope of those kinds of results. I won't make promises like that.

Hope this helps.
Mike
