The Official Review of The Traffic Mega Bucks Collection

Another one of my honest reviews

First of all let me just say this, the cost of the entire package is only $47, not $197,$497,$997 or $1997 like some of the more hyped up products that have been recently launched. I don’t think you will ever see me reviewing one of those over priced, full of fluff, impossible to understand pieces of crap that simply try to exploit the unsuspecting newcomer, at least not with the intent of having you buy it. I will however warn you of anything I find to be detrimental to your growth and development as an internet marketer.

So, What Do We Have Here?

This package has real value as well as a reasonable price. It consists of 4 Video Training Series + 2 Audio Training Series as well as 2 additional bonuses and at this time 12 unannounced gifts/bonuses on the download page.

How To Make Money From Traffic is a step by step video course that teaches you how to monetize your website/blog. It is very thorough and easy to follow along with the author as he walks you through the process of keyword research, how to apply for  Google Adsense and it’s competitors, How to join CPA Networks and Affiliate programs, What your visitors want and how to give it to them. This is the main component of the package and it is broken down into two separate courses, Beginners and Advanced.


In the Celebrity Blogging video series, you will learn how to set up your blog or authority website within minutes and brand yourself as an expert. The author of this course is equally as thorough as the first if not even more so. He takes you by the hand as he walks you through creative ways to finding a catchy domain name, finding a cheap and quality hosting plan, how to set up a wordpress blog using cpanel’s fantastico and manually if you don’t have cpanel. The fact that he actually takes the time to show you how to do this manually really impressed me because all the other training programs I’ve seen only talks about how to use cpanel/fantastico. It just so happens that my first hosting plan did not come with cpanel, so this is perfect for me in that respect.

The How To Research A Product video training program will show you exactly how you can find profitable niches using keyword research, market research, competitor research using free online tools. If you are looking to create your own products or have some ideas already this will be a good course for you in and of itself.

The SEO Secrets Explained audio ebook is an interview of SEO expert Brad Fallon talking about the techniques he used to consistently rank at the top of the search engines. He goes into some detail about onsite and offsite optimization, longtail keywords and using blogs and squeeze pages. I had already heard this interview some time ago, so there was nothing new there for me, but the information is solid.

The Viral Profit Machine audio is Dennis Sims explaining the importance of viral marketing and how to use it to expand and grow your business. He gives you several different methods such as; using forums, newsletters, tell-a-friend scripts and videos. I personally did not like the audio because Dennis is hard to understand due to his heavy accent :-( There is a PDF transcript included, so you can at least get the content that way.

I have not had a chance to go through any of the bonus material yet and there is quite a bit of it. I am however looking forward to reviewing one of them in particular and that’s Guru Slayer.

And Finally My Conclusion

If you are a seasoned marketer, you probably won’t find a whole lot of value here even though there are some gems in here that even you can use, that said, if you’re a newbie to online marketing, then this is a real good product. It covers all the basics and some things you may not have
found elsewhere in more expensive guides. You may even have a couple of sites up already that’s not making any money, if that is the case this will definitely help you get over the hump.

Google Adsense Profits Mixed In With Affiliate Marketing

The Old One, Two Punch…

Are you a blogger who needs funds to keep your business running?  Or is your website the only way for you to earn income?  Whichever you are, for as long as you are a blogger or a web publisher and you need cash, affiliate marketing may work well for you.  With affiliate marketing, you may get a lot of cash pouring into your bank account easily.  And if your blog is rich in great content and you want to earn more profit, why not get into the Google Adsense program as well?

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Well, simply because affiliate marketing is the easiest and probably the best way to earn profits online, unless otherwise you  would rather sell your own products online than advertise someone else’s products on your site.  But even online retailers can benefit from affiliate marketing programs, because affiliate marketing actually works for merchants as well as it works for the affiliates.

Affiliate marketing, simply said, is a relationship or agreement made between two websites, with one site being the merchant’s website and the other being the affiliate’s site.  In the relationship, the affiliate agrees to let the merchant advertise his products on the affiliate’s site.  The merchant, on the other hand, would agree to pay the affiliate in whatever method they have agreed into.  This would generally mean easy income for the affiliate, as he would do nothing but place the retailer’s ad on his site.  This would also be very beneficial for the merchant, as getting affiliates to advertise their products would be a lot more affordable than hiring an advertising firm to promote their products.

There are a variety of methods on how the merchant would compensate the affiliate for his/her services, and for the blogger, these methods simply translates to the method by which he/she would earn easy cash.  Among the more common methods of compensation are the pay-per-click method, the pay-per-lead method, and the pay-per-sale method.  The pay-per-click method is the method most preferred by affiliates, for their site’s visitor would only have to visit the advertiser’s site for them to gain money.  The other two methods, on the other hand, are better preferred by merchants, as they would only have to compensate you if your visitor becomes one of their registrants or if the visitor would actually buy their products.

Getting much profit on affiliate marketing programs, however, does not depend so much on the compensation method is it does on the traffic generated by your site.  A blog that can attract more visitors would generally have the greater chance of profiting in affiliate marketing programs.

What about Google Adsense?

Google Adsense is actually some sort of an affiliate marketing program.  In Google Adsense, Google act as the intermediary between the affiliates and the merchants.  The merchant, or the advertiser, would simply sign up with Google and provide the latter with text ads pertaining to their products.  These ads, which is actually a link to the advertiser’s website, would then appear on Google searches as well as on the websites owned by the affiliates, or by those bloggers who have signed up with the Google Adsense program.

While one can find a lot of similarities between Google Adsense and other affiliate marketing programs, you can also see a lot of differences.  In Google Adsense, all the webmaster has to do is place a code on his website/blog and Google takes care of the rest.  The ads that Google would place on your site would generally be relevant to the content of your site.  This would be advantageous both for you and for the advertiser, as the visitors of your site would more or less be actually interested with the products being advertised.

The Google Adsense program compensates the affiliate in a pay-per-click basis.  The advertisers would pay Google a certain amount each time their ad on your site is clicked and Google would then forward this amount to you through checks, although only after Google have deducted their share of the amount.  Google Adsense checks are usually delivered monthly.  Also, the Google Adsense program provides webmasters with a tracking tool that allows you to monitor the earnings you actually get from a certain ad.

So, where do all of these lead us to?

Where else but to profits, profits and even more profits!  Affiliate marketing programs and the Google Adsense program simply work, whether you are the merchant or the affiliate.  For the merchant’s side, a lot of money can be saved if advertising effort is concentrated on affiliate marketing rather than on dealing with advertising firms.  For the blogger, you can easily gain a lot of profits just by doing what you do best, and that is by blogging.  And if you combine all your profits from both the Google Adsense program and other affiliate marketing programs, it would surely convert to a large amount of cash.
