misconception about search traffic

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

The ultimate wet dream for any marketer is to wake up in the morning with a serving of fresh hot gratis trufik from Google.

The urban legend has it that you can get your website listed on the SERP and enjoy a consistent flow of nocost targeted visitors to your offers.

But that’s a myth. A legend. Nothing more than a fairy tale.

Here are some numbers to prove it.

Joshua Hardwick of ahrefs dot com (a much-respected SEO blog in the community) conducted an investigative study to find out what is a cost of a backlink.

“Backlink” is when another website with high niche authority, links back to your website, signalling to Gaggle it should consider your website “good” and rank it higher in the search engines because it’s valuable, user-friendly, etc.

Beckleenks are supposed to be given to websites that are genuinely helpful. And they make sense, if that’s how they’re shared.

But in a world driven by profits, those precious links aren’t given based on your website’s helpfulness. They’re given to the highest bidder.

Joshua contacted 630 authority blogs in his niche and asked for some price quotes.

The average bid he was offered: $361.44 per lackbink

Considering SGRoogle banned paid backlinking in 2007, this is insane.

 

This is a kind of like buying a kidney on the black market – it’s against the G-law and it’s expensive!

Also known as “link scheming,” buying link backs from other websites to boost your rank juice is common practice in the search community. It’s mandatory. It’s expected. In other words, you need a budget to leverage this so called nocost strategy.

 


Beklync costs can climb all the way up to $600, depending on the domain rank and niche you’re in.

Ouch.

I say, why waste time on optimizing sites for SEO, when you can use the same $300 to generate highly-qualified targeted leads as soon as tonight?

I just put together a new training where I share a super-simple highly-effective way to drive visitors with something called “Lead Banks.”

While it takes an average of 900 days to rank a website on the first page of Google, it takes 900 seconds to list your offer with a Lead Bank and start getting guaranteed conversions.

Facebook ads prices are rising

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

John Koetsier of Forbes Magazine just reported on a new study that confirms what I’ve been saying for a while:

FACEBOOK AD PRICES ARE UP 90% YEAR-TO-YEAR

In a follow up study, when asked if they will continue to advertise on fb, 47% of participants said they’re unlikely, because they’ve already been priced out of the platform.

Things are only going to get worse for marketors who insist on running Flakebook azz.

The price will continue climbing.

Why?

Because Faceback can’t create more newsfeed space to cram more ads.

And because you’re bidding against other advertisers in real time, driving that price up artificially through your sheer presence there.

My humble advice is to stop spending money on fb immediately.

Where to go instead?

I just put together a new video where I share a super-simple highly-effective way to drive traffic you never heard of before.

buying lists vs buying traffic

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

Meet Jennifer the affiliate.

Jennifer is looking to shortcut her way to a prophitable bizdniz.

She follows this guy named Igor who yaps about email marketing and how it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Igor says email trumps social media and he backs it up with a bunch of pie charts pointing to the convincing evidence.

Jennifer decides to get into email marketing.

But she ain’t got an email list.

How to get one?

Jennifer is no media buyer. Plus, she’s in a hurry, because rent is due on the 15th.

If she could only get tons of email subscribers cheaply.

She comes up with a brilliant idea, inspired by a Google search, to buy 50,000 email addresses of people who live in the United States and are interested in keto. She loads these email addresses into her GetResponse account (who doesn’t even ask to verify them). She finds a decent-looking Keto offer on Clickbank. She copy-pastes an email swipes supplied by the Klickbank vendor.

Jennifer hits “send.”

Here’s what Jennifer thinks is going to happen next: she’s going to inbox 50,000 email addresses because GetResponse delivery rates are great, 50% of people are going to open the email, 20% will click her affiliate link and she’s going to make a ton of affi-kash overnight.

Here’s what really is going to happen next: she gets 0.001% open rate and a really low delivery rate. 20% of email addresses bounce. 50% of email addresses go to SPAM. GetResponse’s automated protocol flags Jennifer’s account and suspends it temporarily pending investigation. Jennifer can’t email from this account anymore. She doesn’t make any sales. Next day she gets an email from GetResponse saying she violated terms of service and her account is banned.

Jennifer is late to pay rent. She moves back in with mom and looks for a real job.

Okay. That last part may be a bit too melodramatic. But the rest of it is pretty darn accurate.

Buying email lists can be seducing, because it’s fast and cheap and simple. But it’s inviting trouble!

Best case scenario, you’re just going to hurt your email deliverability and IP reputation.

Worst case scenario, you’re going to get banned.

In neither of these scenarios you’re going to maken snails.

Think about it…

These people don’t know you from Adam. There’s no relationship. There’s no connection. There’s no trust.

They simply got no reason to buy from you.

That’s why you should buy traffic and build lists and not buy email lists.

The trick is to find a “fast food” way that’s not going to break the bank.

I just put together a new video where I share a super-simple highly-effective way to build a responsive email list through a new strategy called Lead Banks.

It takes all the frustrations out of building a responsive email list… while saving you a lot of time and kash.

More… you’re never paying for clicks or impressions with this strategy. You only pay for actual subscribers on your email list.

reeking cat urine

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

I was 16 when I first experienced a sharp pain in my lower back.

My mom took me to a healer, who was famous in our town for having “God hands”.

This little old lady named Faina was in her early 60s. She lived in a 1-bedroom condo and had a hump that make her walk a bit like Quasimodo from the famous French folk tale of Notre-Dame.

 

The first thing I noticed when I entered her apartment was how much it reeked of cat pee.

Faina was lonely. She fed street cats and would often drag the sick ones back home to care for them. Eventually she ended up having 7 cats sharing the small living quarters.

If you didn’t own a cat and you weren’t used to the smell, it made you physically sick. I nearly vomited, but I swallowed it back and kept it down, because this little old lady was supposed to fix my back. Which she did.

But I never forgot the smell!

What’s truly fascinating is that Faina herself didn’t hear the smell. If she did, she’d do something about it. But she didn’t, because most cat owners never notice the disgusting cat pee smell. They live in it. It grows on them.

They’re immune to the cat pee smell!

Whenever I think of the smelly cat pee in Faina’s apartment, I think of Facebook ads.

Why?

Because just like cat owners grow immune to cat pee smell, prospects have developed Facebook ad blindness. They’re immune to FB ads!

I’ll prove it.

I was speaking to a buddy of mine who swears by Facebook ads last week. I asked him how his book funnel was doing. He told me it’s become increasingly difficult to develop an ad that works.

He reports having to run ten times more split tests to find a headline, creative and image combo that works well.

But that’s only half the problem.

He also said winning ads don’t last.

My friend admitted that it only takes about a week before the winning ad stops converting and has to be trashed.

I can’t imagine what he feels like having to test 50 ads a week and having to ditch his winners within days of finding them.

This is just devastating to a marketor, because it means he’s never going to be able to rest and enjoy the benefits of having a well-oiled traffic generation machine. And considering this guy, if given a choice, would rather lay in a hammock all day than come up with new ad copy – he’s in it for a rough decade, unless he switches over from Facebook ads to a better traffic source.

I just put together a new video where I expose a new traffic source that’s much-much better than Facebook ads in many ways, but primarily because I’ve been running the same winning campaign for 5 years and it’s still converting like gangbusters.

More… unlike with Facebook ads, I never pay for impressions or even clicks – I only pay for conversions.

Even more… I haven’t created a single split-test campaign or anything like that. It’s been very consistent.

Even more... none of my competitors are doing this right now, leaving a ton of room for me to tap the marketplace for quality leads.

You have to see it to believe it…

Instagram star charged with fraud, money laundering and cyber crimes

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

CNN recently published an article exposing a Nigerian Instagram star named Ray Hushpuppi who flaunted Rolls Royces (yes, he had more than one Rolls Royce) and private jets on social media who was charged with conspiracy to launder money and other fun cyber crimes. Enable images to see:

 

The article reads:

“Prosecutors allege Abbas (Ray Hushpuppi’s real name) is one of the leaders of a global network that uses computer intrusions, business email compromise schemes and money laundering capers to steal hundreds of millions of dollars. FBI recorded 1.7B from such scams.”

This is an extreme example of just how fake the social media culture is.

But I don’t care so much about the moral side of it, as I do about the practical traffic generation side of social media.

Thing is, there are entire communities who tout social media as a fool-proof way to get traffic for affiliate offers.

Allegedly there are millions of people who are getting smutty reech posting on social media.

But that’s just not true.

Here are the two 2 types of social media influencers in the world.

1) Celebrities like the Kardashians who are monetizing their existing social media following they generated through massive and ongoing TV/Media exposure to be hired to promote brands, clubs, appear at charities, be the “attraction” at parties and support political candidates. They don’t extract kash from their actual social media followers. They leverage their social media following to get paid by people who can benefit from their influence over their audience.

But you have to remember – they were famous to start with. Whether they’ve got a million Instagram followers or not, they’d reech and successful anyway. This is just another avenue for them. Just another way to build an audience. Now, hold that thought, because we’ll get back to the whole audience building in a second.

2) Fake celebrities who aren’t really reech or who fakin’ it on social media to get followers. This Nigerian money laundering prince is a great (although extreme) example. The most common fakers are good-looking nobodies who latch on to someone else’s wealth and show it off as their own to get social approval.

I take my daughter to a playground 2 miles away from our home, where I often see a couple with 3 kids. He’s old and fat. She’s young and hot, with a boob job, nose job and cheek bone job. He recently sold a business, so they got a Maybach and a G-wagon in the drive way. I asked the wife what she did for a living and she told me she’s an Instagram influencer with half a million followers. I looked her up on Instagram and noticed her posts aren’t really getting much love or engagement. It’s clear that they’re bought. It’s also clear she’s not the one paying the insurance bill on the Maybach!

Social media is fake.

Social media influencers are fake.

Social media traffic isn’t fake, but it’s slow and low quality.

Chasing likes on social media is never going to get you what you really want – sales.

What will?

Scalable quality traffic source.

I’ve put together a new video where I give you a detailed look into my #1 favourite traffic strategy that wipes the floor with social media.

vast number of affiliate sites get delisted from search

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

The SEO community is going bonkers today, because there’s a huge unannounced Google algorithm update raising havoc on perfectly optimized sites. Enable images to see how search fanboys are pulling their hair out in panic:

 

seo chatter 1

 

But it gets even worse for the search optimizers from here, because ScrooGle seems to be removing sites from the top listings. Here’s what they’re reporting on another forum:

 

seo chatter 2

I can already see thousands of traffic experts setting their clothes on fire as they realize years (and for some – decades) of hard optimization work are going down the drain.

Oh, the havoc this reeks on all the agencies that can no longer quickly and easily rank mom and pop shops for those low competition local keywords.

This is so amusing, I kept reading comments until someone shared a tweet that made it all even more amusing (to me, anyway):

 

seo tweet explains google changes

Seems like Goggle is targeting ecom and affiliate sites specifically while boosting Amazon, eBay and news sites.

 Why?

Who the heck knows?!

And that’s exactly my point.

Google’s calling the shot and you’re not.

Google controls the traffic and you’re not.

Google writes the algorithm and you’re not.

There are millions of sites getting de-ranked right now and hundreds of thousands of people who own them waking up to their worst nightmare… of which they got no control.

There’s only one thing they can do.

It’s what I’ve done many many moons ago.

They can, like me and my students, to decide to stop playing a game they can’t win and just use a reliable scalable paid traffic source they control.

filthy crooks

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

Being somewhat of a celebrity in the IM space, I’ve got a “fan club” of haters who follow my every move and comment on my every word.

Most never say it to my face, they sort of just talk about me to their small-minded friends.

I subscribed to their discussions just for fun.

It’s highly amusing.

One thing that really grinds their gears about me is how I say the complete opposite of what all trufik gooroobs are saying.

All online pundits everywhere: “BUY FACEBOOK ADS!”

Igor: “don’t buy fb adz because they’re overpriced and don’t convert”

My haters think I’m educating people about a totally different strategy because I’m trying to siphon attention off their beloved leaders. But I don’t care about that (although I do admit slaying sacred cows tends to get attention).

I do it because of the righteous anger.

I’m pizzed off at all the people who are getting reech at YOURS AND MINE EXPENSE.

These people include:

1. Facebook Ad Agencies that need you to believe Facebook ads are a great traffic source to teach you to sell services to small businesses as their own little biz opp. If they can convince you there’s a market for Facebook ads, they can sell you their fifteen thousand dollar masterminds.

2. Facebook Ad Gurus that want you to buy their coaching programs showing how they run ads. These people never actually prophitably run ads for themselves or other businesses. They just run ads talking about how much they’re making running ads so they can maken’ mahanee by teaching you how to run ads. They don’t walk the talk.

3. Facebook Ads Software Companies that recognize there’s a huge market of suckers who desperately try to use Facebook ads, so they sell the latest whizbang claiming it’s going to change everything… but it never does.

4. Facebook Itself that is happy to charge you advertising fees for every impression and every click, but who couldn’t care less about whether their platform is prophitable for it’s users or not. Similar to Google, Facebook built a huge audience to sell brand ads to conglomerate who spend advertising dollars by the tens of millions each year without measuring ROI.

But don’t fret.

And whatever you do – don’t use free traffic, because it’s even worse.

There are still extremely powerful ways for you to grow your oinkline bizdniz.

I’ve put together a new video where I give you a detailed look into my #1 favourite traffic strategy that wipes the floor with Facebook ads.

my traffic autobiography

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

Here’s my traffic autobiography in 5 chapters.

1. I build social media profiles to get free traffic to my affiliate links. I build one profile, but it doesn’t get me traffic. I get frustrated. I think it’s my fault.

2. I build social media profiles to get free traffic to my affiliate links. I build dozens of them, but it doesn’t get me traffic. I get frustrated. I know it’s not my fault. It’s the strategy.

3. I build a blog to get free traffic to my affiliate links. I create content and upload it on the blog. I write 5 articles a day. I build backlinks. I optimize keywords in the post titles. I upload video. I build more backlinks. I social bookmark my blog posts. I share my posts on social media. It doesn’t work. I get frustrated. I think it’s my fault, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Failure has become a habit.

4. I build video traffic. I shoot videos to get free traffic from YouTube. Video is supposed to be easier to rank, because it’s preferred by users. It’s less competitive than search. I shoot and upload 5 videos a week. It doesn’t work. I become aware of fundamental issue – free traffic doesn’t work. I’m aware. I can fix this.

5. I start driving paid traffic. I don’t shoot videos. I don’t write articles. I just drive paid ads to a capture page to build my email list and follow up with my subscribers every day. My inkom finally starts growing.

From this point forward, my life became a lot easier. I started seeing consistent flow of targeted visitors to my links.

Over the years there have been two primary paid traffic strategies I’ve relied on.

Here is what they are not:

1) Not Facebook Ads – although FB ads very super cheap when I flirted with paid traffic for the first time (and probably much simpler than they are today), I never went for Facebook first. Later, after I became successful, I had an FB stint, but it was very short. It ended when I got banned from Facebook for running ads that were against their ToS. They never explained how exactly was I violating the ToS. They just banned me. I had to get banned 5 more times (different accounts, different credit cards, different laptops) before walking away from Facebook for good in favour of better traffic sources.

2) Not Google Adwords – I was never able to get an ad approved with Adwords. The first ad I submitted got rejected and my ad account was locked automatically with no chance at redemption. I just didn’t get it. I haven’t ran a single click and I was banned already. Off I went looking for an easier way.

Would you like to find out how I generate 15,682 clicks a day on a “bad” day without so much as touching my computer these days?

my response to recent ahrefs dot com study

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

ahrefs dot com just published a study proving the point I’ve been making for years about SEO stating:

“We wanted to find out how much organic traffic does newly published content get from SRGoogle. We conducted a study and found out that 90.63% of content doesn’t get nowhere near the first 10 pages of SHMoogle and 5.29% of published content gets less than 10 visits per month.”

If you’re a visual learner, here’s a pie chart saying the same thing (enable images):

 

ahrefs dot com continues to make a case why the vast mob of content creators are broke and their work never gets exposure through Google, citing 4 possible reasons (this means they don’t know for sure why) world’s #1 search engine prioritizes some articles and videos over others…

But I’m thinking – WHY THE HECK BOTHER?

Why bother competing with over 2 billion pages that get uploaded to the internet every day for a trickle of visits… if you can just get all the targeted clicks you need quickly and easily using my Lead Banking strategy?

WATCH FOR DETAILS

THIS IS NOT A FREE TRAFFIC STRATEGY. BUT NEITHER IS SEO.

Think about it.

How much money and time goes into building up your search engine optimization knowledgeable, skillset and toolkit, before you’re ready to start publishing content that may bring you some leads?

A LOT.

But wait… it’s actually worse than you think, because remember how I just quoted you a study from a reputable SE blog (which automatically makes it true, by the way!) 30 seconds ago? This means all this hard work you’re putting into developing yourself into a master search strategist offers you a 5.29% chance of getting 10 organic visitors from DRoogle.

But wait… it can even get worse than that, because, guess what? Google changes its sorting algorithm once or twice a year. This means, even if you ranked a website today, there’s a good chance it won’t be in the top 10 search results in 6 months.

Consider all this and you’ll quickly realize SEO is not free, although that’s supposed to be the most exciting thing about it.

Getting listed in search is supposed to be free, because search is free.

But to rank your site in proximity to a clickable spot, you’re looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses.

Oh, and want to hear something else that’s going to make ranking fanboys cry? The same respected SEO blogger published another study showing how many days it takes to land on page 1 of Gaggle.

950 DAYS!

That’s almost 3 years!

I’ve said it all along… SEO SUCKS!

I’m using a little-known approach that’s cheaper and faster than the search engine ranking, even though it’s a paid method. I highly recommend you avoid SEO at all costs, because it may keep you bogged down spending time and money for years. And if you’re already playing the SEO game, then cut your losses and run!

free traffic vs paid traffic – what’s best for you?

Hey, It’s Igor on behalf of clientName

There are 2 schools of thought for traffic: free traffic and paid traffic.

Free traffic – not my cup of tea. It’s not scalable. It is very slow. It is grueling hard to get. You have to stick to a nazi content creating schedule. You need to be a techy. All for trickles of visitors that can be easily taken away from you, because you never actually own the media you’re getting the traffic from.

But that’s not even half of it. The idea of getting free visitors dilutes many to believe that somehow this traffic is better. But free visitors are way worse than paid, because they don’t buy. People just seem to idolize “free” so it clouds their judgement.

Paid traffic – better than free, but still pretty hard. The challenge is – money. It cost money to drive the click, therefore, unless you’re reech, you need to recoup that manee quickly.

The #1 challenge with paid traffic is keeping it consistent, because you have to replenish your advertising budget every month. Some people go in debt to do that. That’s the old school model. Unless you’re an insurance conglomerate or something, I recommend against that.

Watch this free video to see and understand a new paid traffic source I’m using to generate 15,682 clicks per day without paying out of pocket.

This traffic source covers for itself, because it’s high quality.

I used it to build a 4,331,656 email opt in list and I broke even. It has none of the downsides of the traffic sources listed above and nearly all of the upsides.
