Adam Beazley’s Traffic & Promotion Blog

Whats up everyone, sorry for not writing in a while, I have been pretty busy lately and neglecting this site a little. Anyway, today i just want to introduce you guys to a few cool web tools and software that i use that really helps.

First off, I just started an affiliate program for my main business website (NeutralExistence.com) and I searched all over the place for a good affiliate management system. I found one called “Post Affiliate Pro” (Not an Affiliate Link) and I have been using it and I really like it. It allows me to easily manage all of my affiliates, upload new banners and test ads really easily. Also, it has some really nice tracking tools so i can see whats going on with all of my traffic and clicks and I can tie it into Google analytics, which is also pretty cool. So, if you are thinking about starting an affiliate program to help get some of your products sold, DO IT, this is a great way to increase your revenue, without additional advertising cost.

Another really cool website/web-tool is a company called ClearSpring which helps you make and share widgets. Widgets are the new “Thing” on the web and the one that I made above and mine actually links into my affiliate program, so my affiliates can use that widget on their website to generate sales. This type of setup is a little more technical, but just making a widget is not too dificult, you can use Clearspring or another good widget maker is WidgetBox. Take a look and have some fun making your own widgets, and then start thinking about how you can use them to help make your marketing more viral.

One last website before I go. This one is all about social marketing to rank higher on google. The site is Webel and I must say, his tactics really do work. I have been using them to promote a few different websites and they have helped me rank much better for some pretty high competition keywords. Anyway, if you have any other useful sites or tools help us all out and leave a comment showing us where to find them. Just so you know, I do not use a rel=”nofollow” in my comments, but I do moderate, so don’t try to spam or I will ban.

I have not written a post here in a very long time and I just want to make a few announcements of the direction of this site.

I have basically started a new business (NeutralExistence.com), which I have been working on for about a year and it has nothing to do with internet marketing. However, I have used everything I know about internet marketing to build it, advertise it and manage it. From the marketing, affiliate program, social media, video and soon to be podcast, there are a lot of facets of this business which I will begin to share here on this blog.

I have quit all MLM type programs except for the “green MLM” because I feel it is one of the few truly legitimate network marketing businesses with a real product that people need and want. I have stopped promoting all others because they just dont work.

The fact is, if you want to do well on the internet, you cant just sell some prepackaged money making opp, its just wrong and it wont work. A few people will get rich and all the rest will not.

Anyway, from now on I will continue to write about internet marketing and do product reviews on things that i use to do my business. Some of the links I post will be affiliate links and i will disclose that from now on as I want to remain as transparent as possible. This blog will really just be about helping individuals who are new to internet marketing and building their own business.

Anyway, for starters, I would love to hear from you, the people who read this blog about what types of things you would like me to write about. Just leave your comments below and Ill get on it when i can.

There is a new form of advertising that will be taking the internet by storm. It is called Pay Per Play and website owners will get paid on 100% of their website traffic. The way it works is really quite simple, when a new visitor comes to your website, a 5 second audio ad will automatically play and you get paid for that 5 second spot.

This system of web advertising was developed because of the slipping ad revenue on TV. The ads which will be played over this network are currently large well know companies looking to brand themselves into the mind of the consumers. Companies such as Taco Bell, Harley Davidson, etc…, but don’t worry, the ads will use the same crawling technology that Adsense uses to be sure to play targeted ads that work well with your particular website topic.

As an added bonus, the company who came up with this idea, NetAudioAds, has made a little affiliate program out of it to help spread the word about this new form of advertising before it opens the bidding in February. They allow you to earn from site owners that you refer. Oh and did I mention that this project is backed by one of the largest search engine companies around?

Anyway, if your interested in earning from every single visitor to your website as opposed to only visitors that click on your adsense ads, you may want to give this company a try, it costs nothing to join, so there are no hidden fees or as I call them “gotchas”. Here is the link, have a look and get paid from 100% of your traffic.

Today at noon marks the day of a brand new video marketing tool called the Tubeinator. If you have been keeping up with all of the internet marketing buzz, then I am sure that you have noticed a HUGE push towards video syndication. If you haven’t, let me be the first to tell you that if you are not using videos to help promote your company, products, band, opportunity or anything else, you are missing out on floods of traffic.

Now there are allot of video sites out there that you can submit to, but none are as large as Youtube.com. Allot of people will tell you to just go and submit your movie and wait for loads of traffic. Unfortunately, its not that simple, you still need to get people to your movie to view it and entice them to visit your website after watching it.

One of he main things you MUST do is to put a watermark on the entire movie, my suggestion is to put your website URL in the bottom corner throughout the entire movie. Another great method is to build in a redirect link into the movie, so that after someone views your movie, they are redirected to your website. Cam Studio is a great little program to help you make screen capture videos and add redirect links to the video. Cam Studio is also only 9 bucks so it is well worth the money.

Now once you finish making a movie, its time to submit it to youtube.com, but don’t expect flocks of people to instantly begin viewing your movie, unless of course you have a secret weapon. TubeInator is a brand new program which will help you get the massive amounts of traffic that you want from youtube. The TubeInator works similar to the Myspace Friend Adders by creating a very large distribution list to which you can promote your videos to.

With TubeInator, you can add unlimited friends, leave comments on other peoples videos (with URLs of course), save list of ID’s to work with, work with as many accounts as you desire, check statistics and target action by keywords. With Tubeinator, you can put your video efforts on overdrive and really get massive amounts of traffic from youtube.

If you want to learn more about what videos do best and the best ways to approach youtube advertising, I highly recommend the TubeTraffic E-book, it has been a huge help to my efforts.
