Wow. It’s been awhile since I have done one of these.
In case you are new here… I am an Internet marketer and I track my stats. Every month I like to go back and look to see where all of my traffic is coming from and see which traffic sources are making me the most money. Once I have that information I can know where to focus my advertising to make more money next month. Neat, huh?
At the moment I am focusing on promoting my Safelist Marketing Tactics website. Since I am mostly using free traffic sources I am promoting this splash page.
Just a quick disclaimer… these are my own personal stats. I make no guarantees that my results will be the same as yours. There are probably better places to advertise. These are just a few sources that are working for me.
Ok, ready?
Safelists
List Joe – Hits: 2,939 Clicks: 237 Sign-ups: 49
List Auction – Hits: 1,233 Clicks: 97 Sign-ups: 22
AdSolutionline – Hits: 2,793 Clicks: 100 Sign-ups: 15
Elite Safelist – Hits: 1,608 Clicks: 58 Sign-ups: 10
European Safelist – Hits: 950 Clicks: 34 Sign-ups: 10
No big surprises here. My site is geared towards safelists so it makes sense that I would get a lot of sign-ups here. List Joe has always been my top performer and it continues to get me the most sign-ups every month.
The only real surprise here is European Safelist. I resisted joining this site for years. I decided to give it a shot last month. The site doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles but it seems to be working better than a lot of more popular safelists.
Traffic Exchanges
Tezak Traffic Power – Hits: 3,083 Clicks: 87 Sign-ups: 23
Traffic Splash – Hits: 1,967 Clicks: 56 Sign-ups: 8
Dragon Surf – Hits: 3,170 Clicks: 48 Sign-ups: 8
I Love Hits – Hits: 4,137 Clicks: 58 Sign-ups: 6
Wow. Tezak Traffic Power rocks! This brand new traffic exchange has been breaking all sorts of records. Definitely a good place to advertise your splash pages and lead capture pages to reach a large audience.
Text Ad Exchanges
Muscle Mail – Hits: 853 Clicks: 36 Sign-ups: 8
I gave up on text ad exchanges for awhile. There’s just too many of them giving away too much free stuff to make them worth while. I decided to try and give them another shot last month. I joined about 20 text ad exchanges with over 1,000 members each. The results… meh! I got a few sign-ups but not enough to make it worth working with them every day.
Muscle Mail is the only text ad exchange that has continuously performed for me month after month. Not sure why. I guess it has been around longer than most text ad exchanges and targets a slightly different crowd.
That’s it! I mean I had plenty of other sign-ups from random places but those are the big ones that you can use to promote your own splash pages and lead capture pages.
Make sure you track your results! That’s the biggest mistake most new marketers make. Knowing where your traffic and sign-ups are coming from is the easiest way to tailor your marketing campaigns to get the best results for your efforts.
