Paid Traffic

Good afternoon mate, i'll like to know first what you are promoting, it will be great to know if we want to provide proper help!

When you say "tried" what does that mean, exactly? Most people never move beyond initial testing. When it doesn't work the way they thought, they give up.

I have a few questions, too.

- How long have you been "trying" bing and adwords?
- What does your site contain? Do you update it on a regular basis?

That tells me you did have some conversions.

So... did you dump the loser keywords and optimize on other campaigns?

Example, If you have 1 keyword out of 10 with low conversions, it's still a winner. You dump the 9 losers and pick 9 more new keywords, add in the 1 winner keyword and run another campaign. Keep repeating the process and your conversion rate should eventually go up.

Since you are promoting training, you can try facebook ads with relevant age-groups selected. It will fall cheaper than google ads. Have you tried this before? If not, give at least 10 days initial try and see if you get expected results.

Hey Salsym, it can be tough to get success on SEM platforms like Google and Bing. I would advise a change in mindset. Success is possible, but you might need to change your process.

Make sure you are doing adequate keyword research and optimizing campaigns as they go along. See what keywords get results, try different ad copy to see which ads people are more likely to click. Test, test, test. And don't limit yourself to testing for only one offer, rotate your traffic through different (relevant) products to see which has the most potential.

If you're really deadset on leaving search you can look into Facebook or Native, but those are gonna require much larger budgets, and will also require much testing and optimization. Any paid traffic will

Not interested in Facebook ads ? Forget all those mess that is happening around Cambridge Analytica. Facebook is still a lucrative place for advertisers. Their rates appear cheaper when compared to Adwords. If you define the target audience ( group ) correctly, conversions can be good.

If you're not good at PPC by results, I would suggest you to go with CPM (cost per mile). You will pay a certain amount for each thousand impression.

There are lots of self-serve platform for CPM. You should search online for Media Buying. Its much cheaper than PPC. If you can target your traffic properly, results will be definitely positive.

Search on google for Digital Media Buying.
Best of Luck!

If you can't seem to get paid traffic to work, you could try "attracting" traffic via blogging, YouTube, Instagram, or Pinterest. Use them to build a list, them market products to that list.

I've heard many times: don't give up and you shouldn't.

Have you split tested your pages? Have you tried a different country? How much value do you offer to your leads?

If you provide more information I can help you generate traffic.

May I see the link or product which you promoted please?
thank you

Bing & Google they are a great system to work with IF YOU KNOW YOUR WAY!
okay, gave it a try to invest in learning how to target via those great networks.

Bing, Adwords or any other form of 'paid' traffic requires a learning curve. In the beginning they all will seem like low ROI. There is no paid traffic that will yield instant highly converting ROI's.

Paid marketing takes a lot of time and money to learn how to bring down the costs and improve your ROI.

You need to find better keywords that provide great return on investment with low pay per click prices. You can also try Facebook Ads, Quora Ads, YouTube Ads, Linkedin Ads, and Reddit Ads.

I think you have need to focus on the Popular keywords, which have highest monthly searches.

Bing and Adwords are really good platforms to advertise.. it actually depends - how do you run a campaign - what keywords, age group, location, time zone etc etc.. i.e. strategy matters.

Didnt you ever think that:

you need to know if your product REALLY SOLVE A PROBLEM: there is a market or not?

Your advertising copy matches your potential customer audience.

Try fb ads, but before ask an audit of your business to not waste time.

ALSO IF YOU TRIED SOLO ADS FOR IM PRODUCT and it didn not work, it's highly possible that the product is wrong, or u choose a bad seller (but if u say that it never worked i suppose u tried lots of them).

Facebook & Instagram ads are options that you can try.
Or you can try some methods of seeding your product somewhere (like forum, blog that related to your product) to attract traffic.

Good day sir. Let me start off by telling you I've wasted A LOT of money on paid traffic. Over $3000usd so what I'm about to say comes from a position of compassion.

If you haven't been able to convert with Bing Ads, Adwords, or Solo Ads (haven't heard good things about solo ads) then the issue isn't the platform.

Info products are by far the toughest thing to sell online (in my experience at least) but the reason people do it is because the commissions are also the highest. However if I had it to do all over again I would've started off selling actual products.

Selling something that people can touch, feel, and smell is MUCH easier than an e-book or e-course. People are accustomed to free information and therefore take a lot of convincing to pay for information. Especially if it costs more than $15usd.

Therefore if you haven't been able to convert with any of those platforms I suggest fine turning your marketing skills before you waste anymore money on paid traffic.

Lynda.com is an excellent tool that you can use to learn Google AdWords, and this will be one of the best investments you can make.

Hi OP. I see that your main goal is to get leads (build a list).


Why not skip one of the steps (converting traffic to leads) and just go with a cpa network (if your budget allows it).


Or better yet...Go with a co-registration service like leaderve. You can get leads sent directly to your autoresponder for as little as .$40 per lead.


Meaning...Instead of getting 10-15 leads for your $100 (as you stated earlier), you will get 250 leads for the same price.

Have you tried Facebook Ads? Is it better than Bing and Adwords? Please remember that the quality of your products also affect your ROI.

Dear friend,

Do you have any back-end products?
Do you have any sales funnel?
Do you know about LTV (Customer lifetime value)

I know some paid traffic sources and paid leads sources. But if you don't have any sales funnel, don't think about paid traffic.

Consider this...
2% of sales are made on the 1st contact.
3% of sales are made on the 2nd contact.
5% of sales are made on the 3rd contact.
10% of sales are made on the 4th contact.
80% of sales are made on the 5th-12th contact!!

Try Picking some of the best keywords Around 6-10 is good enough which shows buyer intentions at the max that will help you lower your cost and get high conversions. For me biggest mistake i was doing is targetting all the keywords in the world related to my offer hence losing a lot.

Hi mate. have you tried FB ads. Based on some feedback, a lot of people going for FB ads and if possible, you can used your FB pages and make it interesting to attract good crowds.

As I can see you are in the 'MMO' niche, first change your capture page. It's need to be stunning comparing what you now have. The 'capture page' looks made by an amateur (sorry for my word choice).

For the best conversions on your capture page you'll need to bribe your leads. Give them something of value (free video's, free ebook or something like that). Don't send people straight from you capture page to your offer but use a 'thank you' page in between.

After that search on udimi .com (yes try Solo Ads, because your niche is based on 'MMO') Search for the best seller with the highest conversions.

Start small with 100 clicks and see what happens.

FB doesn't like MMO ads so big change they will disapprove your ad.

Hi man.

I run Adwords and Facebook campaigns as my day job (for 2 years now)- and I can tell you it has do with a lot of things.

You need to understand the platform's algorithm, have a good copy on your website/ landing page, understand your customer's buying journey...

What are you trying to achieve?
If you give us more details I might be able to help you out

if you have money you can use facebook or youtube to get tons of traffic but if you have no money you need to invest some times in forums to get free traffics

Try making youtube videos around the niche your product is in. Then retarget your viewers once you have a good amount.

bing - udimi

Hi all,
I am using Udimi as a buyer for almost a year, and used to work with many sellers. If you are new on Udimi - you should better buy solos from a promoted seller, and you should ask him/her about your niche I mean does the seller work with your niche or not, it is very important

I am a small player in paid traffic but i work for long time in IM and what i learn its that here its not place for giving up if was so easy all people will become internet marketars .Try maybe youtube ads change your niche ,change ffer ,or change verticals some offers work with fb ads but others work with bing etc

Try Facebook too.

Hello sir,

There is lot of way on internet for more traffic, Organic and Paid traffic its a good way, other wise you can go black hat traffic.

I used Udimi in the past but have to agree that recently it hasn't been to effective.

I'm really shocked to hear this. These are two great traffic sources.

Can you share details on how you selected your keywords, targeting, etc?

Also, how many ads did you test?

Did you use a landing page? Did you optimize it?

Also how much was spent before you called it quits? How much is your backend offer worth on conversions and how much did you pay on each keyword (or other variable). How long did you run campaigns for?

What are you trying to sell / promote ? That is the main point. For Adwords you need to know the drill very much. Everybody uses Facebook ads with super targeted audiences. You can also create a CPA offer and promote it in some CPA network, create a list, etc, etc.

Solo Ads never worked for me either.

An never deal with "Add More Traffic"

After they received my money I couldn't get in-touch with them again.

Yet they still kept sending me emails saying complete my order while all the time my PayPal account shows they received their payment.

Thankfully PayPal got involved and refunded my money.

I don't think PayPal will allow them to use their services anymore.

Image result for what is paid traffic in google analytics
This traffic source is divided into organic or non-paid search engine traffic meaning that the visitor clicked on a so-called natural search result and CPC or paid search engine traffic, which is the traffic you purchase (via pay-per-click ads_ from search engines.
