Product Review: Perfect Traffic Storm

Perfect Traffic Storm 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 "Perfect Traffic Storm" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm. So if anyone clicks the Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm 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. Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm 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 Perfect Traffic Storm. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

What About Email Accounts Free?

Email has certainly become our standard form of communication. Come on, who writes letters anymore and sends them by snail mail? Yes, I did say snail mail, because it's slow! The old pen and paper method seems like some scene out of an old, cheesy movie. Electronic mail is too simple and handy to avoid. These days it's easy to find email accounts free. When this concept first exploded on the web scene, email was part of a software purchase half the time. No longer does this hold true.

If you have an email account, it's likely that it was free of charge. A particular web company that offers email accounts free is MSN, or maybe you recognize the term, hotmail. Millions of us took advantage of hotmail when we realized that it would cost us virtually nothing. This email provider offers you quite a bit of space and consistent quality service. Other providers such as Yahoo and Google also offer email accounts free. Gmail seems to be all the rage now.

A great advantage that email has brought us is the freedom from expense. Think of how much you spend on a long distance phone call. You may talk for hours on end. Now, if you put all of your thoughts into an email, you can send it for free. There are even audio and visual aids these days. You can have a phone-like connection through the Internet for no charge. Talk all you like at any hour. It doesn't cost anything. Since we do have the ability to attain email accounts free, many of us are finding those new ways to save money.

If you are a complete layman with computers and the technology they offer, I suggest that you do some web browsing before purchasing anything. While you can achieve email accounts free, other services are free of charge as well. For example, a browser or two, probably come standard with your computer software. You will consistently see commercials advertising for browsers they swear are ideal, and you only pay so much a month. This is nonsense when you probably already have one for free. Companies offering email accounts often pitch certain advantages to their services. You will want to check and see if that perk is already standard on the free one you use. Chances are it is. In this wonderful world of technology, you no longer have to resort to a paper and pencil to communicate with a letter. Try a free email account, and you will be amazed at the time and money you save.

Using Bulk Email Software

How often do you have to send bulk emails? I know this was always a task that I did not look forward do. There are times that the copying and pasting and resending can make for a messy looking product. Also it seems that no matter how many times lists are done someone always gets missed. Or if I was relying on key people to forward emails to others, it did not always get done in a timely manner. But now I have found something that makes this an easy and accurate process. This task is much less tedious and time consuming with bulk email software. I am sure that you will discover this also. No matter what you find that you need to email to a large number of people bulk email software will allow you to do it with ease. There are several varieties to choose from and many offer free trials of the product.

I use the bulk email software to send a newsletter to members of an organization that I belong to. This was a task that used to switch from member to member to complete, but now I volunteer to do it each month. The other members think this is great and I find that it is simple. There are many built in help features to aid me if I am having an issue. By volunteering to use the bulk email software, I get out of having to bring bars to functions as often!

The bulk email software also works well for mass marketing campaigns. Bulk email soft ware is available in HTML and text. It is an easy direct marketing solution for opt-in campaigns. There are list managers, finders and extractors. The bulk email software is a fast efficient way of sending what ever your business or personal needs are. This is a great solution for non profit associations. If your company has weekly specials that you need to get out to affiliating companies it can be done with ease in a matter of minutes. You can also send out support tips to branch offices. With the bulk email software you can send your message or report to each individual of your company instead of asking each branch manager to forward the information. This allows you to keep that feeling of personal contact with each of your associates, no matter how large or small your organization. You also do not have to be concerned whether or not the information is getting forwarded to where you want it to go because you are using direct mailing. You do not have to worry about spamming when you use the products.

With the free trials that are available you can do a mailing without making an investment, but when you find how much easier bulk mailings are with bulk email software I am sure that you will be making a purchase. It is very easy to use and each offers some type of tutorials or wizards to help you through the process. There are also more advanced design options available with the bulk email software, so no matter the level of your mailing needs you will find the software to meet your needs.

Email Courses and Autoresponders

Offering free things to your website visitors is one marketing method that often results in a lot of sales. Free courses that are delivered via email are very popular, and people sign up for such courses on a regular basis to learn more about a topic of interest to them. These courses are best maintained and delivered with the use of autoresponders.

An autoresponder can be set up to send out a series of lessons for an email course. The lessons can be set for distribution at specific intervals. You determine how often the lessons for the course are sent to the people who have signed up for it. Email courses are very different from traditional courses, web based courses, or any other type of course.

There is no student and instructor interaction. The instructor writes the information out, puts each lesson in an autoresponder series, sets the timing for the lessons, and the rest is automated. You can opt to have lessons delivered daily, every other day, every three days, or any other time frame that you think works best for your email students.

Email courses are commonly used to sell products and services. For instance, if you sell widgets, you might develop a course that teaches people how to use widgets or how to care for their widget. Experts agree that an email course can be written for almost any product that you can imagine – if you put enough thought into it.

Start by determining what your course will be about, and how long it should be. If the course should be delivered every other day for two weeks, you know that you would need seven lessons. Write the lessons, and load them in the autoresponder. Set the interval for each lesson, which in this case would be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13.

This means that the first lesson would be delivered one day after the person has requested the course, and the second lesson would be delivered three days after the person has requested the course, and so on. The interval for each lesson is set for the number of days after the person has signed up Make sure that everything is spelled right, and that your sentences are grammatically correct. You want the lessons to look and sound as professional as possible.

Next, simply advertise the email address that will activate the autoresponder. Make sure that you run a test first, sending each lesson to yourself. This will allow you to see what your email students will see when they sign up!
