The Adengage Experiment

March 31, 2008 at 6:39 pm, Category: Business, Monetization, Projects

Purchasing traffic is something I wouldn’t recommend, it usually results in fake page loads of your site to imitate people. Purchasing visitors…well that’s a different story.

The effects of being Dugg or Stumbled Upon can be fantastic, both for real visitors, extreme exposure and revenue! You can buy Stumbles or Diggs, but what if your site isn’t voted for by non-paid users? It’ll probably be a waste of money.

Whilst I totally agree with focusing on quality content and positive word-of-mouth spreading like wild fire, sometimes we want a quick fix. So, what about buying real visitors?  Jon Warass, a fellow internet entrepreneur, successfully showed his visitors how to make $20 a day from a $200 investment and it involved purchasing visitors. You can read the proof post here.

I intend to do the same, with a free wallpaper site. I have built a site that provides “hot and sexy”wallpapers for free. Well placed ads dominate high CTR area’s and I’ve just paid $7 for a weekly ad that averages a few thousand clicks. Doing the maths, say out of 4,000 inbound visitors I get 200 clicks, meaning 5% of people visiting will click on my ads.

200 x 0.05 = $10 = $3 profit.

Not much I know, but the basic maths multiplied on a large scale could result in a large amount of profit. I’ll let you know how it goes, my ad doesn’t start until the 4th. It may be profitable, it may not be – It’s an experiment after all.

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.

    Fantastic. Not only are you experimenting (which few people continue to do once they have established a flow of income), but you are letting everyone know about your plans and possibly your results. It’s something people could possibly pay for :-P

    It then cuts a large percentage of the risk for the reader because it’s no longer new ground.. if they have someone they can follow then that should improve their outcome. I only hope they give credit to you in someway :)

    Hey Khalid,
    I’ve tried purchasing traffic in the past with horrible results. I’m not very likely to go that route again! I’ve been looking at different programs to increase targeted traffic with little cost and ran across a program at maximumoverdrive.com. Have you everdealt with this course or do you know of anyone who has? It looks very interesting but I was hoping I could get your input on it before I buy.
    Thanks a lot!
    -Jon

    Hey Jon,

    I’m not purchasing “traffic” as that could be useless pings to your site, I am buying real visitors from other sites through ads.

    I’ve never joined one of these one page sites promising you the World for $99.95 or something similar.

    Personally unique content and backlink building is the best way to go.

    Khalid.
