Other then adwords what have you found to be some good converting ad networks that have decent traffic and decent ROI?

Yahoo when I used them last time was a little expensive, and Microsoft had little traffic. So are there others out their that convert well with CPA, clickbank products that you see some decent conversion rates?

Thanks,

TedK

    Now a lot of marketers are using Yahoo because it has a lot less restrictions then adwords but yeah, yahoo, msn are the other two. You could look at PPV and media buying if you want to go down that root.

    Honestly now a days I have started seeing a lot of people start using banner ads in google adwords because its a lot cheaper. What I can say though is I don't like adwords so I go with article marketing and that seems to be doing great right now. Invest the money in to people writing articles for you and submit them to EZ I'm sure you will spend less and benefit more and also it will be on autopilot because unlike adwords these actually stick for a while.

    Stay away from MediaTraffic.com. We are having to get a restraining order because they are threatening the family of an employee of ours (nice thing to deal with right before Christmas).

    Stay away from the Ebay "guaranteed hits" people. That is mostly 'bot traffic.

    I have reviews and ROI information on several legitimate paid traffic sources on my blog. Google is less than 10% of the market when it comes to web-site advertising.

    There are some seedy criminal gangs out there in the traffic business. But there are also dozens of legitimate advertising agencies and traffic sales companies. Be careful, but do check out something more than Google.

      Thanks Kristi...

    The reasons to buy traffic rather that rely only on organic traffic are very numerous, but never make any sense to the scarcity minded failure, so it is rather pointless to point them out to someone who would ask the question.

    But in case there is anyone who just hasn't thought it through, here are some reasons to buy traffic rather than rely only on organic traffic.

    1. All of the search engines together comprise only 7% of Internet traffic. Over half of that traffic is paid. So by dismissing paid traffic, you are only putting yourself in 3.5% of of your potential market.

    2. ALL multi-million dollar sites buy traffic without exception. You simply can't be super-successful in this business with only "free" traffic.

    3. Paid traffic is usually cheaper. I'll be adding timesheet uploads to our system soon to demonstrate this simple fact, but we have seen it in study after study. You have to pay someone to get you "free" traffic. The end CPA (cost per aquisition) is ALWAYS higher on average than paid traffic.

    4. If you only have "organic" traffic then you simply have a J.O.B., not a business. You work for Google. If they fire you, you gotta find another J.O.B. because you never bothered to build a business.

    5. Paid traffic yields higher quality customers. They refund less often and complain less often. They ask fewer questions. They expect freebies less often.

    There are tons of other reasons. Any real business owner can list hundreds. Only cheapskate scarcity minded newbies who earn less than five figures a year at this game would ever ask such a question. Anyone who has been through the trenches knows that paid traffic is part of any valid Internet marketing plan that intends to earn seven figures or more per year.

    BTW, the site in your signature that you pimped to us as the solution to traffic has an Alexa rank of 24,000,000!!!!

    It's not very credible to pimp a traffic solution that doesn't have any traffic!

    Your debt site isn't doing much better.

    Maybe it's time to drop the scarcity mindedness (and especially preaching it to others) and go buy yourself some traffic?

    Aren't you getting tired of earning $35.12 per week on your part-time IM business when you hear that others of us are earning seven figures a year and been free from a job for years?

    Have you ever considered the demographics with facebook ads? I have tried kijji here in Canada with amazing success. It really depends on your call to action often in your ad- Good luck.
