Traffic Bailout

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Traffic Bailout is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost.  So I decided to put it to the test…

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel.  It is easy to read and understand.  Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes.  Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Traffic Bailout” links.  You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Traffic Bailout Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.  You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.  And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference.  Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.  Very smart!

After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic.  Just use and promote the new Traffic Bailout link instead of the original source link you had.  Every time the Traffic Bailout link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom.  It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Bailout.  So if anyone clicks the Traffic Bailout image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral.  It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Traffic Bailout links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked.  So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into Traffic Bailout (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Bailout image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks.  And this works up to 5 levels deep.  So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Bailout also.

I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed.  Traffic Bailout even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays.  That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing.  You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Traffic Bailout really shines.  They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline.  But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again.  Now THAT’s cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Bailout.  It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.  Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

keywords for your business or niche blog

Friday, August 21st, 2009

In today’s economic climate.  It is essential that all businesses take advantage of advertising and marketing online.  Even if they solely provide their services and products via bricks and mortar store-front location.  There are many different areas that you can develop your advertising potential online.  I hope this guide will be of some benefit to the smaller local businesses.  In any town or city.

As with any business or niche, you will have particular keywords associated with you and your business.  You need to focus on these keywords when developing your advertising efforts on line.  By developing a strong content in any articles that you publish or blogs that you write.  That includes these particular keywords for your business.  You will be drawing the attention of all the search engines, and the people search, these engines for a product or service. Let me Give you an example.

A friend of mine is about to launch a coffee bar.  That includes art studios and gallery space.  In these areas of business, there are a wealth of keywords and phrases that can be associated with the business.  By the use of tools that are easily found on the web (You can use Google Tools), you can develop these keywords and build your content that will focus on a particular area, by writing an article in your blog about each separate area that the business is broken into.  Its relevant, departments.

  • Coffee Bar.
  • Art Gallery
  • Artists Studios

Okay, now let’s look at the keywords that are related to the Coffee Bar

  • Coffee bar.
  • Coffee shop
  • Coffee Emporium
  • Cappuccino
  • Latte Coffee
  • Fresh Coffee Beans
  • Fresh Ground
  • Coffee Break.
  • Espresso Coffee

Now let’s look at the keywords that are related to Art Gallery.

  • Art gallery
  • art exhibition.
  • Artist
  • modern Art.
  • Contemporary art.
  • Pop art.
  • Sculpture
  • ceramic art.
  • Ceramic sculpture.
  • Fine Art.
  • Art shop

Now let us look at the keywords that are related to an Artists Studio

  • Art studio.
  • Artist studio.
  • Art studio hire.
  • Art community.
  • Studio space.
  • Natural light.
  • Art studio models.
  • Art studios available.
  • Studio space for hire.
  • Perfect studio accommodation.
  • Professional Art studio.

This gives you an example of the types of keywords that can be used in this particular areas, it is not a complete list is just a guideline.  Obviously, you would need to do a lot of research into your particular niche within your business to see what keywords best describes accurately, what product or service you want to promote.

By using these groups of keywords.  You can create content for both your website and for your blog relating to your business.  The content on your blog should be regularly updated.  I would recommend to establish the blog post every day to the first month or two.  This can be reduced down to two posts a week as the blog develops, but definitely keep everybody up to date with any latest promotions, offers, &  new developments in products or services.

Keep the content of the blog on a more personal level, it  is not meant to be a full resume of the business is just an insight into what is coming up in the future or what is relevant at the moment as far as special offers sales etc..

When you are creating your blog.  You have to take into consideration, your main word’s to your business.  It could be the business name, or it could be the product name.

If you already have your own domain link to your business.  Let’s presume it is the actual name of the business as in this example http://thedeafcat.com or you could use one of the other prefixes like
.co.uk
.net
.biz
there are many others to choose from.

You would then include a URL specifically dedicated to the blog.  For instance http://thedeafcat.com/blog
or
http://blog.thedeafcat.com

I have more information on how you create these two different extensions to young main domain coming in later articles.  So look out for them.

Another thing to remember is that once you have your blog created you need to look at the subheading of the blog this can go into a little bit more detail on the keywords surrounding the business.  Choose three or four of the main keywords in this instance it would be

This would form a subheading like this

Coffee Bar | Art Studio | Art Gallery

New post to the blog should be laid out as follows

  • The URL should include the specific keywords for that particular post.  Always make sure that you limit the number of keywords for each post to three to four.  So the content stays relevant to the subject.  On top of this you would use the business name as a keyword also.
  • You should use the keywords throughout the content of that particular post.  A least four or five times throughout the post to, each one.
  • Each of those keywords should be typed in bold.  And if necessary italicised

Whenever the business is mentioned within the blog post hyper-link it back to the relevant product or service within your domain.  For instance, if you’re talking about the coffee shop.  Then link it to the main page that shows that information to the coffee shop.  And so on.  Also if you are mentioning other businesses that are relevant to yours but not actually your own business, out of politeness.  Please make sure that you asked permission to use any relevant content that you have taken from them, either text or graphics.  Most people don’t mind this, as long as you put a hyper-link back to their site.  This is what is known as `back linking‘.

Any graphics to use on your website make sure that they are saved on your computer first and then upload it either directly to the domain or somewhere like Flicker, and that the name files for these graphics are relevant keywords field for your business .

At this point I would like to thank Laura Brown & Kevan Middleton, from http://thedeafcat.com in using Their business as an example on how creating a blog for business can be it a simple task.

Take care because I care.

Michael Rasmussen’s “Email Promos Exposed”

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Have you ever been faced with the task of having
to write an email promotion to your list, and
then realized that you didn’t know what to say or
how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen’s new video course “Email
Promos Exposed” promises to solve that problem
for you by walking you through the actual process
of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

*************************************************

*************************************************

I decided to see if Michael’s videos live up to
their promise by trying them out myself. Here’s
what I found:

*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the
first video was the stunning production quality.
He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which
is now the industry standard for creating
high-quality screen capture video products. The
audio is near studio quality, and the graphics
are very professional. These videos were made by
someone who KNOWS what he’s doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by
section, and then again by sub-section. For
example, one video is all about the subject line,
and then there are different parts of that video
that each cover a certain area of crafting a
killer subject line.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

*************************************************

*************************************************

VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole
course. You get to see a picture of Michael in
his every day life, and he establishes his
credibility right up front by talking about some
of his massive successes online. He even provides
proof of credibility by displaying two checks in
the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove
that, when it comes to the subject of making
money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever
you’re teaching people how to do something, it’s
good to establish your credibility up front, so
that there’s no doubt about whether or not you’re
qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 – BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other
marketer has bothered to mention. You’ll learn
things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer
promo

* The different tools you need before you get
started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically
writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of
kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 – THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one
of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing
email promos… the subject line. The subject
line is a confusing topic, because nobody’s 100%
sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line
that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of
the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 4 – THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when
writing their emails. Michael talks about how
important it is to create an opening that is
conversational, and then reveals techniques and
examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email
once they’ve opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few
paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 – THE BODY COPY

This is one of the “meatiest” portions of the
course, because it reveals techniques that are
not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in
most eBooks. He talks about the importance of
keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and
then reveals how you can do that. You’ll also
learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people
curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body
copy easy to read.

* The secret of “bucket brigade copy” and how to
use it in your email promos to force people to
keep reading.

VIDEO 6 – THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their
email promos. They start out strong, but when it
comes time to ask the reader to click the link
and take action, they don’t know what to say.
Michael talks about some of his favorite
techniques for making that happen, and also
reveals:

* The “magic question” to ask yourself that will
make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the “unanswered question” and why
handling this is a surefire way to get people to
act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 – CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most
important parts of the email, because it is often
the one thing that gets people to click the link
at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of
your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.’s you can use
(this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 – COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some
mistakes that I was making that I wasn’t even
aware of. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, you’re
probably guilty of some of the things that
Michael talks about in this video as well, and
that’s why it’s so valuable. I’ve shaved years
off my learning curve, because now I can avoid
some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to
make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 – HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of
money. Why? Because I used to only send out one
email promo for each affiliate promotion I was
doing. Michael showed me in this video how
important it is to send a follow-up promotion,
and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered
things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo’s.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make
the most money.

* How to overcome readers’ objections in your
follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when
writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 – HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL
money is on the back end. I’d have to agree with
them, but the problem is… most people have no
idea how to set up a back end system that makes
money. This video will teach you how to set up an
automated back end that’s loaded with killer
promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.
He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end
email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back
end email promos.

VIDEO 11 – CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the
entire package for a lot of people, because most
people email their list to promote other people’s
products as an affiliate. Let’s face it, if you
only have 3 products, can you really afford to
only email your list 3 times a year? They’ll get
bored hearing about the same old products over
and over again. This video sheds some light on
how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael
reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than
regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret
could cost you big money).

* Michael’s favorite tactics for creating
affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your
affiliate promos (this is the most important
section of the video, so make sure you watch it
over and over again).

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs
a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there
offer only watered down, weak content. Not this
one! These videos are going on my “A-list” for a
long time.

I’ve already watched them twice, and plan on
reviewing them every couple months to make sure
that I have the principals, techniques and
tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your
business (and in my opinion, it’s the most
important part of ANY online business), then you
owe it to yourself to check out Michael’s
exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

404 Error Page

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Have you ever visited a website, but typed in the wrong
url after the domain name?  What did you see?

Chances are you saw a generic page that said something
like, “The page cannot be displayed,” or “Not Found,”
or “The requested URL was not found on this server.”

This is what is more commonly known as the 404 Error
Page.  It’s the page that shows up by default when
someone ‘accidentally’ types in the address of the page
they are looking for on your site incorrectly.

Now, in many cases, it truly happens by mistake. However,
in many other instances, people end up on this page
because they are snooping around trying to look for your
download page or thank you page without having to pay
or opt-in.  Kind of shady, but people do it.

Why, not capitalize on it whether they are doing it
purposely or they are truly ending up there by accident.
If you have your own website and it gets traffic, some
of your visitors are ending up on that page.  Now, if
they are seeing the generic message that their browser
shows them when it happens, then you are not making
good use of your web real estate.

Every page of your website can put money in your pocket.
Even your 404 error page.  You can customize that page
just like any other page on your website.

Some ideas to utilize on that page include:

-Making an special offer at a discounted price.
-Having it be a squeeze page.
-Making it an Adsense page.
-Redirecting it to a related affiliate product.

Those are just a few of the many different, yet profitable
types of ways you can make good use of your 404 error page.

It won’t make you rich, but it definitely will put some
extra money in your account.  Maybe it will help you pay
one of your bills, or you can just reinvest it into your
business.

Either way, if you don’t customize this page, you can be
leaving money on the table.  Having something for your
visitors to see that end up on that page is extremely more
beneficial to you then not having anything on that page.

Here’s to making good use of every page on your website.

All the best,
Dee
