Advertising & Traffic Builders ~
This page will become one of the most important pages you will add to your “favorites” or bookmark for continuous use. I am constantly adding to all of the pages of EyeballsNTraffic.com as I discover and use new techniques. LEARN THE MARKETING SYSTEMS!!! Really learn them and attend the training webinars. I have not listed any SafeLists or Traffic Exchanges because I feel they do not return value for the time spent advertising on them. As you learn the marketing systems, pick and choose which ones apply to your online business. Always read the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Purchase Agreements to be sure of exactly what you are buying. If a website does not have all three of the above then they are in violation of FTC rules and regulations. Make sure your websites have all three. Go here and download the three free ebooks on legal requirements every online marketer should know. Here is a reaaly good traffic statistic site for those of you researching niche products: Wikipedia Article Traffic Statistics
If you learn anything learn to write effective ads. Your ebook library that you downloaded has all of the necessary training material. Need more? Go here!
Ad Networks are websites that offer packaged ad products across a vast network of independent websites. I use Ads-Xchange.com the most because it is inexpensive and has a large audience. Be careful to checkout the exact costs. Many ad networks are pay-per-action (CPA) networks and you can run up one heck of a bill so read everything carefully.
