Internet marketers, I need a couple of minutes of your time. Please help me out.
 
I need to share some things.
 
A couple of years ago I started working on building websites to make money. After a while, I learnt that I was doing something called internet marketing
 
Like me you learnt some other stuff. You found that you need traffic to your websites and you need to change visitors from interested readers to action takers.
 
It is not easy

  • We are making blogs.
  • We are adding Adsense.
  • We are researching affiliate products.
  • We are getting all this stuff right… Yes?
    OK, so why aren’t we feeling like we’re getting richer?
     
    I looked around for solutions. As we both know there are plenty of people keen to sell a ’secret’ - yup, the same secrets that will be shared only with me and a million other folks. All sorts of traffic schemes - bars on screens, traffic exchanges, funky popups and a truckload of other toys and tricks.
     
    None of them will change your business because they don’t hit the right buttons. They fiddle with the margins but don’t address the basic issues.
     
    The truth is that, in reality, getting traffic generation right IS easy!
     
    We need backlinks and traffic. Just like always!
    If enough folks know where to find our pages and we tell the folks what we offer we will get the backlinks and traffic that lead to free traffic building.
     
    BUT I found that the crazy money suckers and time eating toys were not the way to succeed. All that I really needed was a way to build backlinks and traffic in ‘normal’ ways.
    I threw out the nonsensical toys and went back to the fundamentals and this is what I did:

  • I was commenting on blogs.
  • I used social bookmarking
  • I took part in social networking communities
  • I was posting articles on article directories
  • I was exchanging articles with other site owners
  • and guess what happened…?
    IT WORKED!
    More Backlinks and More Turnover!

    Nothing is perfect though.
    I was spending a lot of time on marketing my sites. Webmasters were again and again suspicious of my attempts to exchange content - their fingers burned too many times by shady characters.
    It took AGES to find good partners for link exchanges and the blog commenting was still a advantageous technique but too many spam artists and ‘no follow’ links reduced its effectiveness and sucked away at my time.
     
    Then, back in January some pieces came together. A new membership site opened up to just a few members. The new site was from the guys behind PortalFeeder - guys whose names I already knew: Jason Potash, Jason Katzenback and Marc Quarles. Each name was a trusted man behind a range of quality products and each was  standing behind this new concept, a service that rocked my world.
     
    What were the guys doing? What was their shtick?
    Actually the offer was not so new - and yet it was unique and brand new at the same time.
    They used the basic ingredients of success - yes, you guessed: backlinks and traffic.

    Taking the fundamental techniques of content exchanges, link exchanges, social methods (Web 2.0) and article submissions and remade them so that we could do the jobs we needed and at a speed that made the process realizable all over again.

    The Traffic Kahuna guys have several components to share with you and even though I use these tools they can tell you about them superior than I can.
    Please, click on THIS LINK and ask for more information. They won’t bury you with irrelevant emails. They will share with you some of the tools that we use in Traffic Kahuna and demonstrate how they help us.

    More importantly, when the doors to Traffic Kahuna reopen with more membership seats you will know as [soon] as it happens and be ready to make a decision - the same choice I made, to go back to the fundamentals and do it right, or to continue messing around with the newest bright ideas from some Johnny-Come-Lately.
     
    There is no commitment, except to your own curiosity and need to succeed.
     
    Oh, there is one thing to think about.
    How you reached this page…
     
    You are here because the techniques used in Traffic Kahuna work!
     
    ALL the promotion used to get you here is from Traffic Kahuna - Think about it!
     
    Visit Traffic Kahuna and request more information.
     
    I look forward to working with you in TK!
