Blog leads vs Solo Ad leads?

2 replies
Hi Warriors

When I read posts about list building the current favourite traffic source seems to be solo ads, but has the quality improved recently?

2 years ago I generate several thousand leads from solo ads, but the quality was terrible. My pages would convert brilliantly, but as I had to the return mailings I was just burning my existing list by sending them to pages which I wasn't exactly sure matched my standards.

Now compare this leads generated through my blog, sure the numbers are much lower, but these people are opting into my list because they like the content I'm putting out, and I don't have to send tell them about another marketer's squeeze page.

I know that you can just buy the solo ads now rather than having to do reciprocal mailings, but with prices in 3 figures it's getting harder to turn a profit.

If the solo ad bubble is about to burst in 2012 what will replace it?

    Great observation. I've also noticed that my best leads have come from articles I wrote and syndicated rather than the solos I bought.

    I may not agree with the "Soload bubble burst" however. It's just a different form of ezine advertising and I know people who even turn their solos into profits the very first time.

    Hi, as long as you use Solo Ads from reputable sellers you'll be fine.

    Also, the sales funnel is an important factor when using paid traffic methods, it should fully optimized and tested before, so you can at-least cover the costs of the Solo Ads purchased, or make the money back from the back end, such as promoting offers using email marketing.

    You can find high quality Solo Ads from:

    Ad swaps, sell solo and buy solo mailings at Safe-Swaps
    Reed Floren's Solo Ad Directory
    And on here.

    Hope this helps...
