Lately I have been seeing safelist email ads offering Twitter, Google and Facebook Solo Advertising. Folks, please listen to me...Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, Pinterest, Amazon, etc., are NOT EVER going to sell their database of customer email addresses to some stupid Solo Ad Provider, so DO NOT BUY THEM.
=======================================
I do believe we have yet another Bogus Traffic Program muddying the marketing waters!
(NOTE: the following statements are MY opinions, and are formed by MY experiences and research. If you have better results with any of these programs, good for you, and please let me know!)
This new BOGUS traffic program is called My Lead Generation Secret, and it is being promoted in many safelists and traffic exchanges using the same format for their ads as in their previous traffic programs. (see below).
It is just despicable to me that this one person/company just keeps rolling out new programs with a different facade (see below). None of them work the way they claim they do, and most of the hits to your website will most likely result in little to no signups or sales.

WARNING: If you see a site that tells you they will send out your email ad to THOUSANDS of Gmail users, DON'T FALL FOR IT!
Gmail DOES NOT sell their database of email addresses to anyone!
The same goes for PayPal, Yahoo, Google, etc. These companies DO NOT rent or sell their email database to Internet Marketers! Hopefully they don't ever give out your information to anyone!

There is a New Bogus Traffic Site (in my opinion) that appears to be a new version of all of the following: Boost My Online Biz, Pennies4Profits, TwiceConfirmedTraffic, SubmissionWorks, AllInclusiveAds and USA Lead Club.
The last BOGUS traffic program I called out is called Newspapers Alive, and it is being promoted in many safelists and traffic exchanges using the same format for their ads as in their previous traffic programs. (see below).
Another BOGUS traffic program is called Organic Prospects, and it is being promoted in many safelists and traffic exchanges using the same format for their ads as in the previous versions, however there is a new twist to this program. Apparently these leads have to answer 3 question to pre-qualify themselves as home business leads.
I frequent many Internet Marketing forums, and most of the posts I have read have confirmed my first impression - Organic Prospects WILL NOT perform as stated on the website and will most likely be a total waste of money.

Ok, this is seriously getting ridiculous!

I have read a couple of reviews about USA Lead Club, and so haven't found enough to be absolutely certain this is a scam, but I have been around enough to know not to join it, and if you do, well, let's just say "buyer beware."

CONCLUSION: In my opinion, this is NOT a good source of traffic.
I'm sure you've seen ads for Pennies4Profits. Well, in my opinion this is just another BOGUS traffic program. It's also my opinion that this program is owned by the same people who brought us All Inclusive Ads, Twice Confirmed Traffic and Submissions Works.
There are just too many similarities to be a coincidense, so my recommendation is to STAY AWAY from it.
Have you heard of Hyper VSP? Well, if so, I hope you didn't get taken in by the hype of EASY Traffic. In my opinion, this is just another one of those BOGUS traffic programs where you enter your website URLs (up to 10) in the boxes provided and then sit back and wait...and wait...and wait. IF you DO get any traffic, it will be CRAPPY, and if you get a sale, count your blessings, because not many people are getting anything out of this shameful program.
In addition to not getting traffic, I have heard many horror stories about people not getting refunds and affiliates not getting credited for sales they are making trying to sell this programs to others.
Previously, I have written...
Here's another CRAPPY traffic program for you to waste your money on. This one looks like it came from the people who own All Inclusive Ads and Submission Works, but with a different design, and, in my opinion, it's the same CRAP traffic! It's called Twice Confirmed Traffic, and YES, in MY opinion, it's Twice Confirmed to be Lousy!

I Can't Take it Anymore!
Well, it's a beautiful Sunday morning here in NY, and I plan on having a nice day, even though my head is spinning from all of the pure CRAP and GARBAGE I see online.
I'm not kidding, it actually makes me dizzy!
Whatever happened to Honesty and Integrity?
Why is it that some people will say and do anything just to make a buck?
I have to say, I may not always get it right, but I try damned hard to ONLY promote things that are of real value to YOU.
It really makes me down right angry when I see well known Gurus telling absolute LIES just to fill their pockets!
Now, I'm not going to mention anyone by name, but I will mention programs or products that are complete garbage.
One that I find particularly nauseating is All Inclusive Ads...a program that claims it will send tons of traffic to your websites.
All you have to do is input your URL and BINGO!
You will get Boatloads of Targeted Traffic!
Well, it's just BULLSHIT!
Truth is you will get NOTHING or NEXT TO NOTHING!
I swear, I cannot believe how deceitful this program is, and I also cannot believe how many people promote it just to make the commissions.
DON'T BUY IT...IT IS GARBAGE!
NEW WARNING for 2014 - AVOID Twice Confirmed Traffic. It appears to be just another version of AIA and SW.
UPDATE (June 2013): Also AVOID Submission Works. It is a CLONE of All Inclusive Ads!
Another traffic program that is total garbage is Instant Cash Plugin.
Also owned by this same person is ATM Cash Machine, and The Traffic Money System, and there are many others which he owns as well, although I can't remember the names of them right now.
=========================================
PHEW...I feel better already!
Now that I got that out of my system, are you looking for some HONEST Traffic Providers?
Sometimes I think I'm just too honest for my own good, but that sure is good for you!
You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize something I've really always known. It's ALL ABOUT the TRAFFIC!
No matter what you're promoting online, without traffic, and LOTS of it, you are just not going to be successful. Even if you have the most beautiful website in the world. Even if you are offering the best product in the world.
Doesn't matter one bit. No Traffic = No Sales = No Money.
Below are some of my observations and recommendation that I sent out in an email to my subscribers.

Do not bother to join Dr. Traffic Co-op Advertising because the traffic sucks.
Do not bother to join All Inclusive Ads...for the same reason.
NEW WARNING for 2014 - AVOID Twice Confirmed Traffic. It appears to be just another version of AIA and SW.
UPDATE (June 2013): Also AVOID Submission Works. It is a CLONE of All Inclusive Ads!
In fact, I feel like pulling my hair out when I see ads for these programs all over the safelists and traffic exchanges.
Oh, and do not bother to join MTE Traffic Co-op...just not worth the money.
I know for a fact that I could make a lot of m.oney by promoting some of these so-called traffic programs, but I just can't do it.
And I just took another traffic program off of my website.
It was called Traffic Testers, and I was making commissions, but the owner just stopped communicating with the affiliates and hasn't updated the site in quite awhile.
Then, I had to remove another program called Traffic Delivers. Why, you ask?
Because it didn't deliver any blasted TRAFFIC!!!
Oh, I'm exaggerating a tad bit. I did get a few hits a day, but that just doesn't cut it in the world of Internet marketing. Now, to be fair, I will test this one again, but my results so far are pathetic
Of course, that's not really guaranteed traffic, because there's no guarantee that anyone will ever actually SEE your website.
In fact, if you are not using a catchy subject line, you are almost guaranteed NOT to get any traffic at all.
But, if you DO use a good subject line, safelists are a pretty good source of targeted traffic, as long as you're targeting other marketers and you're using a good lead-capture page.
And then, there's Traffic Exchanges (TE's), which I have used over the years with varying levels of success.
TE's ARE a source of Guaranteed Traffic, because your website WILL get seen, that's for sure.
TE's are also a source of Instant Traffic, which can be very gratifying.
However, TE's vary widely in the quality and speed of the traffic delivered, and they are next to useless unless you are using them to promote other traffic programs and/or you are using a good splash/lead-capture page.
But, what I want to investigate are those programs which are not TE's but that say they deliver Guaranteed Traffic.
If you read Part 1, you already know that I tested All Inclusive Ads and I found them less than satisfactory at delivering quality traffic.
Now, I must admit I DID get some traffic to my sites, but it was not enough, and the traffic I did get was not good enough to produce any results for me.
NOTE: I was using a good lead capture page for all of the sites I used for my testing, so I seriously doubt that my results were due to anything I did wrong, but that's always a possibility.
Let's face it, there are so many variables when it comes to advertising on the Internet, that it is sometimes hard to tell which part went wrong or right!
But, I am reasonably sure that it wasn't me, because I am used to getting a good response from my regular forms of advertising.
So, the next Guaranteed Traffic site I investigated was CommissionEngineX.com
Now, this one I DID NOT join, because I'm not into wasting money. Been there, done that and got the T-shirt too!
YES, I know I said I will be TESTING TRAFFIC and reporting on my results, but some traffic sources are not worth testing simply because I already know they are CRAP.
What I am doing these days is spending my time reading blogs and forums on the different traffic programs, and IF others have had success using them, I will test them out.
What's the verdict on CommissionsEngineX, you ask?
DO NOT bother to join it.
Apparently, it works much the same was that All Inclusive Ads works.
You simply input your URL and then wait for the traffic to start rolling in.
What happens next is that you get quite a few hits on the first day, and then as each day passes you get fewer and fewer hits, all of which do not result in any signups to your opportunity.
However, where this one differs a bit is that some people say they have actually gotten sales to CommissionEngineX itself from the hits!
So, if you want to make commissions from selling a traffic program that doesn't work to other unsuspecting folks, this might be just what you're looking for!
Seriously, I don't know whether to laugh or cry sometimes in this business.
Case in Point...
In my researching, I came across a YouTube video review of CommissionsEngineX, where a very honest-sounding man said that he had used the program but had gotten no results.
He then went on to say that he was having great success with All Inclusive Ads!
Hahahaha...LOL or Boo Hoo Hoo, whichever makes you feel better!
That's when I decided to get out and take a nice walk, which is what I'm going to do right now.
I'll be back with more info for you soon. In the meantime, if you want a real good (honest) list mailer, join Email Hog. You'll get a great list to mail your offers to, great support and you can earn commissions too:
So I told you before, I am going to be spending a lot of my own time and money testing different forms of guaranteed traffic over the next few weeks.
I just cannot stand the hype and lies anymore, and I need to get to the TRUTH about TRAFFIC.
Case in Point...
Here are 2 subject lines I saw yesterday for the biggest traffic lie of all:
#1 Voted Ad Site For July 2012 (Works for ANY Program)
ATTN: I Swear This Will Work for ANY Program (Daily Signups)
Then the body of the ad starts off like this...
Honesty and Integrity
always come first in my
business endeavors.
I'm going to straight up
with you here.
I've been running quite a
few tests on the traffic
this service delivers:
And the ad is for All Inclusive Ads, which is one of the worst traffic sites online as far as I am concerned.
NEW WARNING for 2014 - AVOID Twice Confirmed Traffic. It appears to be just another version of AIA and SW.
UPDATE (June 2013): Also AVOID Submission Works. It is a CLONE of All Inclusive Ads!
I won't go so far as to call it a scam, simply because they may actually be delivering some sort of traffic, but it is USELESS traffic at best and not enough of that to even make it worthwhile.
I swear, I feel like pulling my hair out every time I see these ads, because I know that people are joining every day.
In fact, many of you, my readers, have written me to tell me that you joined and got basically NOTHING for your m.oney.
Oh well, there isn't anything I can do about it except keep informing my readers NOT to join it OR anything like it.
Speaking of "anything like it", I just joined something called Traffic Money System so I can test it out, and I will get you those results in a few days.
UPDATE: Traffic Money System is CRAP!
Also, IMPORTANT NEWS coming about My PC Backup, just in case you have seen that one around, and how could you possibly miss it? It seems everybody and his brother is promoting it.
I will send out my take on My PC Backup tomorrow if I can get to it.
UPDATE: My PC Backup is no longer being promoted much because the company was cheating people out of commissions (so I heard). Anyway, there were many complaints about the service, so I don't recommend that you use it for your computer backups.
Ok, that's all for now.
I'll be back with more info for you soon...hopefully tomorrow, because I have a lot to share with you.
