Traffic Exchanges Suck!!!
hey guys!
i personally feel if there is an advertsing method that really sucks to the core it's this..."traffic exchanges".
there are many reason which enable me to arrive to this conclusion:
no.1) the most told marketing method to newbies by the inexperienced and those with lack of knowledge:
now many ppl should agree here with me. even i have faced this many times in my journey here in the network marketing world when i was new to all this. As a newbie i clearly remember this was the most appealing and starightforward method of advertising that came to me and which i easily grasped. well what really is it?
"you view other ppl's websites and they inturn view yours, it's so simple. and yeah what did my sponser say...it's all abt traffic right, so 4 hours a day should get enough traffic to my page! WOW!! i did'nt know network marketing was this easy!"
i know many ppl would have said this dialouge when they first heard of tarffic exchanges as means to promote there business. it really does look so appealing, but do you think these are all quality hits?? the pro's here with me would have shook their head by now. in my opinion 500 traffic exchanges hits equal maybe just 1 quality hit that you might have got through your apsense business center where somebody thought they should explore your opportuinty. i have'nt got many hits so far but wow! i already have got 1500 tarffic exchange hits....see the diff??
no.2) easily the most time taking!!!
agreed?? 3 to 4 hours a day should be the minimum to drive some results...
no.3) the most hectic
even those in love with traffic exchanges will agree on this. As a newbie when you were first introduced to tarffic exchanges you siad "WOW! is network marketing this easy" atleast i did, only later to realize it's much more difficult then i thought. the fact that they are used as advertising methods specially for newbies could easily be a "shooing" factor for them. although they first appreciate it they soon find out, clicking silly figures for hours and hours is'nt the most easiest job around. this basically was what i experienced. i did enjoy them at first and later it was only a burden on me. not surprisingly the few days that i did traffic exchanges they shooed me away from netowrk marketing for the next 2 months, well to me it was simply a waste of time, extremely boring and the best way to loose money! (my bizness ofcaorse went down)
no.4) they are not catagorized as "staying" forms of advertising:
that's right! the day you don't hit the traffic exchanges for most of your time you don't get any hits for that day! to be precise if i write blogs and discussion sujects and take active part here at apsense will this be btter for my business or hitting traffic exchnages would be a better idea?? branding myself here infront of thousand of ppl is more appealing to me then going for those so named "hits to your website"
no.5) results are a miracle:
again this should'nt be contradicted much, as i said "500 traffic exchange hits=1 quality apsense hit" which suggests results are really hard to come by let's discuss why traffic exhange hits are so low on quality.
the major reason is you can never convince anybody seriously in looking forward to your opportunity in the limited time that you have of for example 20 secoinds after which the reader hits the next button simply becaue he is in too much a hurry to get views for his website, honestly speaking if you go abt reading even 10% of the websites you'll see at the end of the day you end up with very few hits for your site. besides another major reason for these hits being low on quality is that the views you generate are spent looking on the timer and not the website that is showing up. and i bet you do the same (and if you do it there is no major reason to contradict that others won't be doing it).
these are the factors which enable me to term traffic exchanges as really bad. not to say they are totally useless, a few of us have generated prospects through them right?? but then the opportunity cost is so huge! honestly speaking if i do this one marketing method every day for 5 hours and get a ref at the end of the month i won't be so happy because i know i could have achieved much more given the time that i spent
Thus i feel traffic exchanges are really poor quality sources of advertising needless to say i have points to support my ideas, criticm is ofcoarse welcome! and we can have a good debate with those who support traffic exchanges here! so sroll down and have your say through your valuable comments.
