Traffic Advice Required

19 replies
Hi Everyone!

I would like your inputs, I have a website wherein the advertiser pays me 10$ per 1000 visits ( USA ). Currently, my website receives 3000 daily organic+social visits per day. I am looking at purchasing traffic now.

Now, my concern is where do i find a traffic source which costs me a little less than than what my advertiser is paying me.

I have tried a lot of stuff.

Google Adwords : Not affordable. Nothing less than 50$/1000
CPA network advertisers : Nothing less than 0.10 a click!
Linkbucks Pops : Crap+ less volume
Adfly Pops : Crap traffic
Expired domain traffic from Maxvisits : Crap
Fiverr sellers : Forget it.

Can you recommend a traffic seller or have any suggestions for me?

    Hi,
    I have heard that one of the best sources of paid traffic is Solo Ads. If you do a search here on the forum under WSOs you will often find a good provider of Solo Ads and you can look at any feedback before you purchase.

    Bing Ads are quite effective and cheaper than Google Adwords

    Hope this helps.

    I'll bet you haven't tried doing the math.

    You're being paid $10.00 for every 1,000 visits. That's a whopping $.01 per visit.

    You're hoping to do paid advertising. So where are you going to get traffic for less than what you're earning?

    Good luck with finding a reliable source of traffic for less than a penny a click.

    Do you have only one paying advertiser on your site?

      This is the key.

      Most US newspapers and magazines that don't hide content behind a pay wall use multiple ad networks on every page. Navigate to one of them, and then watch the browser info at the bottom. Count the number of ad networks that have to load before you see any actual content.

      Right now you have one network that pays you a penny per view.

      What if you had ten?

      Now you're getting $0.10 per page load, instead of $0.01.

      Since all you really have to worry about is getting people to the page, finding traffic for under 10 cents per click should be relatively easy.

        This is great advice! Add more Monetisation options to the site.

    As mentioned in replies above, first spend time looking for more advertisers for your site before going to get more visitors with paid methods. I suggest listing your site on ads network like adhitz.com to get connected with advertiser willing to pay for your traffic.

    I'm sure I don't need to tell about the multiple places on your website that you can place ad.

    the real question is WHY ???

    If you can deliver 1000+ visita per day organic for free, why dont monetize them in a FAR BETTER WAY?

    I mean: do LEAD GENERATION.

    Put a pop up, a form in every post, build a funnell and do email marketing.

    You can easily earn a lot more just for advertising other's product. try it.

    Thanks everyone, for the inputs. Yes, probably it makes sense to add more networks to monetise the sites.

    I have tried adding more networks in the past. These have been my findings :

    Fixed Income Ads:
    Popunder - 3$/1000
    Banner Ad - 10$/1000
    Pushup Ad - 3$/1000
    Infolinks - The flood of facebook ads makes me cry. So disabled.

    Now, my site is relatively new, so not a lot of networks permitted me. example, Taboola and Revcontent. I also do not have adsense, which leaves me with little options.

    Some questions :
    Are we allowed to add 3 different pop-under ads ( 3 different networks ) , on the same page. i know this might get intrusive.

    How do you know a solo ad is legit, i know the basic, like read the vendors ratings and testi, however, how does the traffic behave? I have tried solo ads, and sometimes what i receive is gushing flow of traffic - no spikes though. Is this normal?

    Also, this particular Pushup Ad network, does not count all my visits/views. Can i dispute this? Do networks scrub even popads and pushup ads ? Is this okay?

    Can you suggest any CPM networks that accept new sites.

    Also, another question, When a solo ad vendors ratings says 47% or 57%, does that mean, you receive 47% responses or successful sales conversions?

    Since you are getting almost 100,000 visitors to your site per month, you should seriously consider trying other forms of revenue.

    Adsense, may not pay what it once did, but, it is still worth a shot.

    How about renting ad space on your site.

    Or

    Putting

    Up banners for affiliate products.

    For a different approach you could consider selling the site--as a site with that amount of traffic should bring you in some nice money.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Shmol,

    Adding more advertising options to the site is a great idea.

    However, like i said, i have a relatively new site, and i have limited access to networks who will accept a new site. So, i do not have adsense, taboola, revcontent etc.

    No, i am not looking to sell it/flip it, at the moment.

    What i need is simple, i just need to drive traffic to the site, i am just figuring out what could be my best traffic source, at a price cheaper than 10$/1000. I just need views thats all.
