The Ultimate Traffic Funnel is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test…

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “The Ultimate Traffic Funnel” links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the The Ultimate Traffic Funnel Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!

After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new The Ultimate Traffic Funnel link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the The Ultimate Traffic Funnel link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to The Ultimate Traffic Funnel. So if anyone clicks the The Ultimate Traffic Funnel image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your The Ultimate Traffic Funnel links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into The Ultimate Traffic Funnel (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the The Ultimate Traffic Funnel image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to The Ultimate Traffic Funnel also.

I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. The Ultimate Traffic Funnel even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where The Ultimate Traffic Funnel really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT’s cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with The Ultimate Traffic Funnel. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Hi Folks

Antony here having a quick spontaneous whinge in response to deleting a whole
shed full of spam.

Who are these people and where do they get off posting their interminable drivel?

It’s a totally pointless exercise, because these crap messages are never going to appear
here or on anyone else’s blog, unless it’s target audience is the terminally stupid.

Ah…breathe deeply, I feel better already.

Have a great weekend. It’s my birthday on Monday, so maybe I’ll get some cards,
even if they aren’t Valentines:)

Hi Everyone,

It’s not often that I am asked to review products online, usually I just get offers to promote the “next big thing”, but today this post is somewhat unusual.

I have been asked by Ray Johnson to review his brand new course, entitled “Clickbank Stealth”

“Clickbank Stealth” is a complete step-by-step, 100+ page ebook, and 14 VIDEO training course that teaches you the previously unseen secrets of the Clickbank gurus to create TOP TEN Clickbank websites each and every time…

==>> HERE

Basically, the course is web based and is made up of 14 training modules plus a KILLER eBook which walks
you through the entire system and leads you to each video so you are ALWAYS in TOTAL control and have
100% confidence at every single step.

Ray then follows up what he teaches you with step-by-step screen capture videos so you
can learn how to actually APPLY what you’ve learned from the eBook.

Inside Clickbank Stealth you’ll learn:

—> Why the domain name you choose has a DRAMATIC effect on your profits…

—> Why poor copy will KILL your website, and how to write Clickbank CASH-COW copy that will FORCE top marketers to promote you…

—> Why NOT just any old graphics for your product/site will do, and why you may as well QUIT before you’ve begun if you FAIL to use this method…

—> The #1 secret of product creation that is CRITICAL for your long term success online that COULD bank you a fortune…

—> Why download pages ARE CRITICAL to your success online (yes, DOWNLOAD PAGES!)

—> How to get a TON of JV partners/affiliates to promote your site, even if you have NO contacts, NO list and all in just minutes!

—> How to craft the perfect page to maximise the number of affiliates who ACTUALLY promote your site come launch day

—> How to build a LASER targeted list of affiliates that stay with you FOR LIFE and are HAPPY to promote every single site you ever create!

—> How to create the perfect affiliate promo tools page that leaves your partners DESPERATE to mail their subscribers HARD…

—> How to test, (without the boredom:) that could QUADRUPLE your earnings within minutes…

—> The one secret technique to create MAXIMUM buzz for your product through the launch week, and get REPEAT MAILINGS (guaranteed) from EVERY JV partner…

—> PLUS A TON MORE!

Once you’ve grasped the basics in the eBook, the video series moves on to help you IMPLEMENT all the processes step-by-step, and in detail.

This is cutting edge stuff, and Ray makes it possible FOR ANYONE to bag a Clickbank top #10 spot with ZERO experience…

Ray’s presentations are models of clarity AND I should know; I’m a lifetime 1-2-1 mentoring student of his.

“Clickbank Stealth” is a steal at the price and I hope it’s still available when you read this so you can run over and snatch up a copy for yourself, you’d seriously be mad to miss it.

To YOUR Success as always, and thanks for reading.

Hi

I’ve got some great news today.

Well it will be great news for those of you who take advantage and act on it

On 26th January, next Tuesday, John Thornhill will be reopening the doors to his Marketing Masterclass. This is special because John is only running his Masterclass once a year, so it is a very limited opportunity.

Google John’s name and you’ll get some idea of how successful he has become as an internet marketer and consequently how valuable his advice and know-how is.

So, if you have resolved to make 2010 the year your fortunes changed on line, grab his FREE report.

>>>> HERE

John is a no-nonsense guy and doesn’t pull his punches, so be warned. He tells it like it is.

But that’s the point really. Do you want to succeed or just pretend – window-shop or own the store?

Don’t pass up this chance to learn from a master.

>>>> HERE

When you’ve read the report, let me know what you think.

Talk soon

Antony

Hi Everyone

Hope you have all recovered from the excesses of the festive season:) and have avoided the swine flu bug.

I’ve been working on an exciting new series entitled, info-products-profit (more on that soon) and I’ve been neglecting the blog: so it’s time to make amends.

For those of us who have an online business which we are growing, there’s no greater preoccupation than GROWING YOUR LIST.

It is also common knowledge that the most effective way to grow that list is through Joint Ventures and Adswaps. Now that’s a breeze if you’re Mike Filsaime, or John Thornhill or Ray Johnson. People are queuing up.

Different story if you’re a relative new kid on the block who almost nobody has heard of.

Well, if you’re in that position, your prayers have been answered; because Philip and Charles Mutrie together with Jit Uppal have put together an amazing forum site called JV List Building.

The cool thing is that the forums are grouped by list size, so you can easily find other marketers who are looking for partners with similar list numbers.

It really couldn’t be easier. The one thing, and it’s a big plus, is that Phil checks all applications to join so you can be confident that people are who they say they are and their list size isn’t a fantasy either.

Take a look >>>> JV List Building

Let me know what you think.

Talk later

Antony

So you identified your market and created a product to cater to the market’s needs. It’s a good product and you feel pleased with a job well done.

Then you set up a sales funnel with a great FREE offer at the front-end. People visiting your site will sign up for the free stuff even if they don’t buy the one-time-offers or the back-end upgrades. So you are building your opt-in list, which is the goal of anyone who is setting up an internet marketing business.

You might be tempted to sit back and relax while you watch the sales roll in. But if you did; you’d be making a massive mistake, because if nobody actually visits your site, none of the above matters.

Yes you can make a shed load of cash by sending a single email promoting your own or someone else’s product, BUT and it’s a very big but:) – you have to have a correspondingly large list to email to. And the only way you are going to achieve that is by driving traffic in one form or another.

So that is where a lot of your attention needs to be focused.

I’ve spoken before about the need to build relationships online and this is vital when it comes to Joint Ventures and Adswaps as ways to building that all important list. But relationships are also the key to Viral Marketing as well: in the sense that each person comes because of the web of interconnections that links them.

It is a fascinating and unpredictable process, which depends on the principle of reciprocity. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on advertising, then viral marketing is an amazing way of reaching a lot of people.

Hey There

In case you didn’t receive my recent email on this subject, I’m posting the story here.

You know I keep banging on about the importance of building relationships to your internet marketing business?

Well today I’m going to tell you a story that illustrates my point very well. This is not to show you what a smart ass I am, quite the opposite in fact. I’m definitely not the hero here, but never mind…..

A while back I contacted Greg Hickman at thelistauction.com to explore a possible joint venture. Greg was very positive and created partner accounts for me at both thelistauction.com and viraladstore.com, which are excellent traffic exchange and generation sites.

Fast forward a month or two and I’ve built up around 6000 credits at viraladstore and thought it was a good time to start sendng out some emails in addition to the 3000 that the site is sending on my behalf every 3 days.

Now I don’t want to bore you with the details, but I had a problem….so I emailed Greg’s business partner Mike Purvis to ask what was up.

It turned out that unwittingly, I had two accounts registered. One was the Gold upgrade that Greg had set up for me and the other was a standard account I’d previously signed up for myself (and forgotten about). It was the latter that I’d been racking up credits with. The solution was to merge the two accounts: close the standard account and transfer the credits to the Gold account.

These guys could have not been more helpful and sorted my problem immediately and this was a Sunday afternoon!!!

In my book that is seriously good customer service. It’s generated a huge amount of good will and a positive desire on my part to reciprocate in any way I can. This clearly demonstrates that reciprocation is a natural response and a great way to build your business. It’s also very gratifying.

Check out Greg and Mike’s sites at:

Hi All

You may have been wondering if there was a winner in the competition to guess:

1) Which type of promotion delivered the most subscribers to my new site?

2) What percentage of the total did that account for?

and if so who s/he is.

It was actually an almost impossible ask and even I didn’t know the answer to 2} till last weekend, when the stats were checked.

Well, there wasn’t a clear, bang on the money winner, but the person who came closest was Terry Bratley. Since Terry is already a Gold Member and a Joint Venture Partner, he gets to chose a prize from Robert Black’s http://www.bestmultimediaguides.com/

It’s not altogether surprising that Terry is the winner, since he is already an experienced and successful Internet Marketing professional with a very impressive site.

Check it out >>> http://digitalzips.com/

Congratulations Terry!

OK so it’s time to come clean and announce the result of the competition that’s been running for the past couple of weeks. And it’s really very interesting, for reasons I’ll explain shortly.

Here are the questions again, with the answers:

1) Which type of promotion delivered the most subscribers to my new site?
ANSWER: JOINT VENTURES

2) What percentage of the total did that account for?
ANSWER: 90%

If you’ve been visiting the blog for a while, you’ll know that I stress the importance of building relationships in your online business. Well, nothing illustrates that principle more clearly than those results.

In fact, ALL Internet Marketing is about building relationships. Whether it’s Twitter, Facebook or any of the other social media, blogging, Forums or anything else…..it all about establishing a dialogue.

Notice that’s dialogue, not monologue. It HAS to be a two way thing. You can send out thousands of automated tweets for instance, but if you get ONE actual response, treat it like gold. You don’t know where it might lead, that’s the beauty of viral marketing: someone may know someone who knows someone with a list of 100,000+ who could lift your business to the next level and beyond.

Initially, I recommend getting in touch via email. This can lead to chatting on Skype or Windows Live Messanger. That’s how my major contacts have developed and without them I wouldn’t have much to shout about….

So thank you all, you know who you are….And so do I:)

Till the next time

Antony
