Does it make any sense to use paid traffic like SoloAds and PPC for blog type websites or product review websites?

Is paid traffic really only for stuff like well designed squeeze pages of your own product or affiliate products?


I'm asking this cause I don't know how profitable it would be for example to buy Solo Ads(or PPC) to send traffic to a blog post that is reviewing some product or anything like that.

    Paid traffic isn`t only for great squeeze pages, but because you pay for it, you got to make sure you use it in any way you can. So along with your aff link on the review, place a subscription form so you can capture some leads. That way, although you paid a lot for a handful of viewers, those viewers will see many other reviews of yours.

      There are many ways to get traffic and paid traffic is one strategy I use to get ahead of the game and your blog aka money site is a great start. *This is your audiences portal for your current and future mediums.

      Your traffic will only be good if you can rank your contents on Serps(Search engines). *Having the most epic content that can save all of humanity, but if you dont know how to network it for the world's eyes to see, *all is in vain.

      The best, fastest and safest way to rank is to have a mindset like a farmer.

      All the content you create are seeds that in the future will become your harvest.

      You can use different types of "seeds" like youtube seeds since its the second to Google as a search engine and you can rank pretty quickly on youtube even without any backlinks. This is one of my strategies before I do paid traffic.

      You just have to optimize your youtube videos step by step:

      Step 1: keyword must be in title. Having a researched keyword on your title that you are trying to rank for. Same thing applies with your blog post title.

      Step 2: have a good description with your link to your blog post and blog site. Eg.
      Yourname.com - visit my site to learn more about how to increase google ranking - http://www.yourname.com/rank-google-tips

      Step 3:Next create a mini blog on description with jeywords and lsi keyword.

      Step 4: put time stamps on key points on your vids at the beginning of your paragraph
      00:10 - i discuss about video marketing
      01:20 - i discuss about email marketing

      Step 5: create a bright image for your video

      Step 6: transcript. I know its hard work but to be on top you must do captions on your videos.

      Step 7: embed your youtube video on your blog.

      Step 8: optimize your blog post On page by using seopressor plugin

      Step 9: publish

      Step 10: create pyramid backlinks
      Low tier backlinks like comments ==> high tier links like web 2.0 ==> to your blog Aka money site.*

      Step 11: post your blog link to your social mediums like facebook and youtube.

      NOW, While you wait for your content to rank on Google(may take a few weeks even Optimized), *this is where you can invest on paid ads like, solo ads, ppv or ppc.

      This is by far the best way to scale your business and exposure. *Your ATM is in your targeted responsive hungry list whatever niche it is so do your research on good solo ads and ppv providers.

      Once you get profit from sales, keep 30% for yourself and 70% reinvest back for your business and paid traffic to keep scaling and building your list.

      Finally, you must take care of your list like flowers. *Watering them with inspirational and motivational stories of your own or others.

      Never shove your affiliate products down your list's throat all the time. *There is time and place for everything.

      You should really build your relationship first by asking them what they need help with, what problems they may have or ask them for their opinion on topics.

      This is the best way I find to get people to convert. *Making sales is important and without it your business dies but people never join business affiliates or buy products. *People join people.

      People will join and buy from people they can trust because its a natural human reaction from relations.

      Hope this helps you out to get ranking on top, building your list and have converting traffic!

    Paid traffic works great if you have a decent site. Take a look at this "Ask Me Anything" thread in reddit about the website "thisiswhyimbroke"

    This is why im broke originally just linked to cool stuff that people would impulse buy, and they would always make X4 what they paid for adverts after a few days.

    Read it, it's pretty intuitive.

    When buying soloads specifically most of the time its going to be required to direct to a squeeze page. Plus it's ideal anyway because building a list is where the money is as!

    solo are best used to increase subscribers base, people who are reading the email dont care about buying at the moments,
    on the other hand PPC traffic can be much more resposive with proper persuasion

    PPC can work like gangbusters for product review sites. At least until you get Google slapped!

      Honestly, I think the best way to pay for advertisement is to create video ads through google adsense. You get the most bang for your buck, mainly because you don't pay if somebody skips through your ad. I would create a very grabbing short ad (30 seconds or so) and then experiment with maybe 100 dollars with google adsense. You can fine tune your demographic and really target a very specific audience.

      But overall, paid traffic isn't a great strategy for maintaining traffic. You should focus on generating unique and helpful content that people find naturally through search engines.
