Traffic Drill?

Anybody has used the service and can give a review on it?

My experience with them has always been just as you have described.

I forgot to mention, I did not pay a dime for the traffic. No google adwords.

I'm going to get this later today. Really excited about its potential.

I've been going at it alone for too long... trudging along. Time to multiply my reach.

Hi Rich,

Use this link.

Cheers!

First, thanks to the members of the Warrior Forum. You guys
are awesome.

Second, we're doing well with the launch of Traffic Drill and
JV'ing with Allen. It's been a blast.

Third, and most importantly, Traffic Drill members are really
doing fantastic. Many people are active and engaged -- that
means traffic. And, that means money...

Lastly, if anyone has any specific questions about Traffic Drill
please just send me a PM. Of course, you can post questions
here too. We're watching and listening.

Can you explain in more detail on the part of exchanges traffics. How do we go about exchange traffics?

Hi Matthew,

How do you guys help us to set up our own web site? I need a blog currently, can you help me to set it up? I do have a wordpress blog but the free blog template theme is very limited with the free account.

I simply love this quote, "1/2 Of Rhodes Brothers", it so cool! hahaha.... =D

Matt,

Currently I have my own self-hosted wordpress site and I'm trying to generate traffic to my site. Hope your membership site can help me on this.

I'll PM you to get your opinion.

Regards,
Haron

The current public launch date is set for the 20th of October.
There will be a limited number of memberships available before
that through the Warrior Forum, Platinum JV Partners, and via
our list.

Do your visit our websites, and give advices on how to improve it or just through some questioning and answering method ?

Hello John and Matt

I was hearing some information about established large internet marketer involvement, like Gurus joining for the purpose of helping entry level internet marketers through offering their list building secrets.

Any truth to this?

I also heard that these Guru level marketers would willingly exchange mailings, assuming the product quality requirements were reached.

If this is the case it is the true heart of the value in the community being developed in Traffic Drill, and I'd like to know about it

One thing that needs to be kept in mind with Traffic Exchange traffic is that it is generally low converting, whether that's for opt-in leads or for sales.

A key reason for this is that the primary interest of those taking part is to obtain traffic for their own sites - they aren't interested in buying anything on the sites they visit to meet obligations.

Hence the most successful users of traffic exchanges tend use squeeze pages for a landing page and the offer is usually to do with list building, traffic building and the like.

If you have a niche website, say design jewelry, and you send internet marketers to that site, the traffic numbers will soar but sales will be non-existent.

These comments don't apply to back linking, which can be valuable in boosting the position of a web page on Google's/Yahoo's search engine displays.

Those wanting traffic exchange traffic can get it for nothing. Just select from the top-rated exchanges listed here:

Don't waste your time Mathew. From a fellow traffic driller, just jump on board. The results speak for themselves. Yes it is new, but with time and development this will blow anything out of the water.

Hi All
Let me answer Matthew and Preben directly.

Preben: "way less legit?" Apparently I haven't yet provided enough information for you to realize how absurd this comment is. So I will do that below.

As for Traffic Drill, I'll state again that I have nothing against TD or the Rhodes brothers - they seem to have a good reputation and responsiveness and I'm sure that TD works fine if you spend lots of your time posting on their forum. And yes I tried it for a week or so, thought it was a decent system, but with some limitations. I'm just saying that yes, I have implemented a better solution, and I will tell you why, point by point. Matthew listed 9 or 10 points about Traffic Drill. Let me address each one:

1) Simplicity. Sure, making a forum for people to post their requests is simple. It is especially simple for the developer to create. But just because it is simple to create and simple to use doesn't mean it is the best solution for this problem. A bicycle is simple, but that doesn't mean I would use it to travel from LA to Chicago. Choosing the right solution is more important than choosing the simple solution.
Anyone who uses the Neurolinker interface will tell you that the Neurolinker Social Bookmarking interface is easy too. Each user has a list of Social BM tasks to do. Do the task, check a box, hit submit. That's it. And Neurolinker keeps track of everything you have done for everyone else. Again, it keeps track of the "many to many" bookmarking interactions. A forum lets one person communicate with everyone else. That's "1 to N". The 1 poster can keep track of the N interactions with N people. The Neurolinker approach lets everyone do bookmarking for everyone else, and quite easily. That's "N to N". It lets N people keep track of each of their interactions with N people. With Neurolinker you always know what exactly you have done for whom, because you have a big task list of checkboxes. Just keep bookmarking until all the checkboxes go away. This is very simple, yet it keep track of everything.

2. Videos. Yes TrafficDrill has some instructional videos. I do indeed think these videos are instructive and useful, and I think the Rhodes bros did a good job on these. These will be especially useful for people who are new and don't know much about how to get traffic or why to build blogs on free blog sites. For people who already know that they need backlinks and keyword rich content to drive traffic, these videos will be less useful. Are the videos themselves worth the $19.95/month warrior price or $29.95 regular price? I'll let you guys decide.

3. Proven results. Yes, the Rhodes bros have I'm sure achieved great results with these traffic methods. I have no reason to dobt that. And yes the concept behind Traffic Drill works fine. That's why I implemented this idea more efficiently in Neurolinker. It is indeed a good idea, no question. I just realized that the forum approach was not the best way to kep track of everything.

By the way, Neurolinker has a forum too, a forum that has been active as long as Neurolinker has been active. Anyone who wants to interact and learn about traffic, exchange social BM tips or whatever can already do so in the Neurolinker forum. I could have just duplicated the TD forum in the Neurolinker forum, but I chose to implement it better.

4. Natural Traffic. The heart of TD is having people do lots of social BM for each other. That's a great idea, and that's why I implemented it in Neurolinker. But in addition, Neurolinker matches up other websites in the system that are related to yours. In other words, it gives you one way links from relevant websites just like yours. And you have control over what backlinks you accept. So Neurolinker is really a "link suggestion" service, very white hat, and not something the search engines are likely to object to. Furthermore, it has an article marketing component that lets you submit articles to the system and get your articles with your backlinks posted in sites around the network. I thought it was generally recognized that Article Marketing is also "natural traffic". So the "natural traffic" argument really doesn't hold water. Neurolinker gives natural traffic from bunches of relevant one way backlinks from several different and complimentary approaches: automated relevant website links, article marketing links, and social BM links. TD just gives social BM links.

5. Community. TD has a forum. That's great. So does Neurolinker.

6. Kharma system. In TD, people can check your Kharma and decide whether to do anything for you. Or not. In Neurolinker, people with the most "brownie points" (like Kharma) wll have their sites listed at the top of other users's BM task lists. So the more BM you do, the more BM others will do for you. This is promoted directly by the Neurolinker system. And as I said, you never have to try to remember what you did for whom. Your BM tasks are right there in front of you on your task list. Just keep BMing and clicking submit until you're done. Couldn't be easier.

7. 250 members. Yes Neurolinker has about that many users too.

8. Don't need your own website. Matthew is right. If you are someone who doesn't even have their own website, you won't be able to use Neurolinker. If you are someone who doesn't even have their own website, well, good luck in making money on the web. When you get to the point where you realize you need to have your own website (and probably several of your own websites) then come give Neurolinker a try.

9. Personal access. I'm sure the Rhodes bros do a great job of interacting with their members. So do I. Anyone in Neurolinker can tell you I respond to support requests often within minutes of receiving them. I have had numerous phonecalls with people one on one to help get them set up. In fact, in some cases I have logged in to their websites and/or Cpanels and set things up for them. My customer service is unmatched in its responsiveness.

10. Yes the price for Warriors is $19.95/month. I stand corrected. The cost for Neurolinker is also $19.95/month.

Looking closely at the above list, it seems to me that the fair thing to say is that this is "almost" an apples to apples comparison. TD has some instructional videos that Neurolinker doesn't have (yet) and the Rhodes bros obviously have a loyal following on WF. That's fine, I wish them well. But when it comes to what each system gives you to actually generate traffic, Neurolinker gives you every social BM tool that TD does, and implements it better (a "many to many" set of task lists). The cost of the two systems is the same for Warriors. For the general public, Neurolinker is cheaper. Plus, Neurolinker gives you links from related websites, links from your articles, and free content from other users' related articles appearing on your website, inside your template with your Adsense and affiliate links.

I hope I have addressed the "legit" comment. If you still think I'm blowing smoke, then I say two things. First, I've been developing software and technology for 26 years, first as an aerospace engineer designing spacecraft guidance and control systems, then as a Director of R&D at a neural networks related software company, then as president of my own wireless gaming company, and now as developer of Neurolinker. Along the way I earned a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, a MS in Nuclear Engineering and a BS in Physics. I've secured US Givernment funded R&D contracts totalling almost $10M in areas like information retrieval and image processing, receiving numerous honors and awards along the way. Feel free to look at my (several years old) resume here: Resume for Dr. Marc Ilgen - Software developer, technology research engineer, wireless game designer. So yes, I know what I'm doing.

Secondly, anyone who wants to can check out Neurolinker risk free. There is a 60 day money back guarantee. If you don't like it you get your money back quickly, no hassles whatsoever. You are all welcome to try it, even Preben who should have perhaps taken a look so he would know what he's talking about before randomly disparaging it.

Again, I wish everyone success. If you love TD then great, I wish you and the Rhodes bros well. If you have some websites and you already know what you need to do (get backlinks) and you just want the most efficient option to actually do it, then take a look at Neurolinker.

I am confused. I signed up yesterday or the day before, I don't remember. So I think what I bought into was a forum. Is that it? Are there any instructions anywhere on how this magic is going to produce traffic? I know I sound cynical but I just don't get it. Yes, I am a newbie.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Ivan

Ah, okay. Then it works. You didn't mention that in your above post, so I thought it was just another useless "article submitter" thing. - Which doesn't give the publishers any advantages either!

But okay, spinner is cool
Will probably check out neurolinker anytime soon, when I finish a few of my most important projects.

John

Ok fine. I have no interest in creating any unnecessary friction here, and I wish you all the best with Traffic Drill.

But for the record, I was not a competitor when I joined Traffic Drill. Neurolinker had no social bookmarking component at that point. So all I was doing inside TD was posting and/or answering posts regarding social bookmarks for my site, just like any other user would. I used the system for a week and evaluated it both for my own use and for possibly promoting it as an affiliate. As I said before, and still say, the idea behind TD is a good idea. I'm sure people who use it will get good results. I don't question that. But I chose not to continue with TD for reasons I have already outlined. You may agree or disagree with my opinions I formed while using the system, that's fine, but I certainly don't agree with your claim that I have done something "inappropriate" by trying out your system and then deciding to go in a different direction for reasons I believe I have more than adequately defended.

Anyway, I'm sure TD will work fine to generate traffic for your users. I hope you and your users do well with it.

Regards
Marc

First let me say that I'm not a member of either Traffic Drill or Neurolinker, but I've been considering both of these services. And I don't feel any particular allegiance to Marc or the Rhode brothers.

But Marc you need to learn some marketing manners. IMO the Rhodes bros have shown remarkable patience and restraint with you commandeering threads specifically about their product.

You just don't do that, especially here in the Warrior forum. I don't care if it is effective or not, you are not gaining any friends or good karma by using this tactic.

You seem like an intelligent guy so I'm really surprised at how blatantly you've been self-promoting while trying to show their service is inferior...not cool.

That said, I'm still considering your service. I'd just like to see you mind your marketing manners better and respect your fellow Warriors...Karma!

Don:

We tell people about most of our niche web sites. Yes, someone
could steal our work. But really, there is so much we do beyond
our sites that it doesn't matter much. There's a whole "machine"
behind every niche site we run. What's more, we've actually
found that some small level of competition helps us in Google.
That's a report we need to write...

And finally, there are MUCH better ways to "spy" on people.

I am also curious as to how this is going for members.

Completely understandable.

What I will say is that it is hard to know what products and services
will work perfectly for you. We make a lot of investments and many
of them don't work out. However, without jumping in, there's no way
to know. And, there's no way to test.
