What I've been up to prior to launching this site: 8.17.08
As you know from my intro, I've tried a wide variety of different ideas and methods
over the years. Recently, when I started working with Internet marketing again and
decided to get serious this time, I've been working with a few affiliate programs,
here's a list of them with links for anyone interested in looking at them in more
detail:
Diesel Secrets
Google Nemesis
PaysForever.com
and the most recent, and what I'm currently focusing on:
The Cash Leveraging System (TCLS)
I've been promoting this program for about 6 days now and today I received my first
sign-up which was very exciting!
I've used only a couple of different methods to drive traffic to this site. I've done
some promoting on Craigslist with a method I found in an E-book I purchased
called CraigsSecret. The method in the e-book allows you to get more exposure
on the site without breaking the terms they've put forth. I've had a decent amount of
traffic come through to my site with this method, ranging from 50 up to 250 hits per
day. Today I found a utility I liked that will allow me to be more accurate in tracking
my different marketing efforts, and it's free to boot! I definitely recommend taking a
look at the ClickAudit Ad Tracker for anyone looking for a no-cost way to track their
advertising. Today, using this method for Craigslist advertising, I put up 15 ads, it
allows for more or less than that, since I'm now able to track them more accurately
and since I'm logging my experiences here, I chose to start off at that level today.
I've had a pro account with a site called Monster-Traffic for a number of years now
that has always brought me in a little bit of traffic through the variety of channels it
uses, so I have that, using ad tracking on it as well, promoting my TCLS site as
well. It is another in-expensive tool that I use, a pro membership runs $10/month
and it has a number of options for promoting one, or multiple sites.
The last tool I currently have in place driving traffic to my TCLS site is through a site
called redirectedvisitors.com. I found this while searching for more information on
ways to drive targeted traffic to your site. They have a massive amount of expired
domain names and market those names all over the Internet, you purchase 'X'
amount of click's from them, and visitors to these expired domain names that are
advertised are redirected back through to your site. I wasn't sure what I thought
about the idea, but they were inexpensive (generally not the best sign, but I've
spent $19.95 on worse things) and the idea intrigued me so I went ahead with it.
As of right now, they've delivered 207 visitors to my TCLS site. Unfortunately, I
kicked off that campaign before I fully set-up my tracking system, but it was going
on when I got my first sign-up so I look forward to finding out how he found my site!
That's the end of my update for today. I'll be adding a couple of new pages to
HBBCentral.com soon, regular updates on the traffic I'm receiving through my
marketing efforts, as well as a reference page, where I will have all of the sites,
tools, etc that I talk about here listed, categorized and described in more detail for
you to review if you'd like.
Have a great day and be on the lookout for new sections and updates here at
