Product Review: Web Traffic Juggernaut

Web Traffic Juggernaut is a new site that says it guarantees more 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 & 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 "Juggernaut" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Juggernaut 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 Juggernaut link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Juggernaut link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner. It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Juggernaut. So if anyone clicks the Juggernaut 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 Juggernaut 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 Juggernaut (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Juggernaut 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 Juggernaut 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. Juggernaut 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 Juggernaut 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 they use a unique dual-matrix technology that builds your downline in 2 ways. First is the typical way--you refer members, who then refer members, etc. But the 2nd matrix is a "forced matrix" that places all new members in a downline in sequential order. Without getting technical, what it means is that if you join and just stay a member (even if you don't do anything) your downline will grow automatically because new members will fill in your forced matrix. And you earn credits on them too. Now THAT's cool.

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

The Shopping Struggle...

I have to tell you, I am sick of going online and searching for products. Not that I am not always looking for new stuff, I am always looking. No, I get sick of sorting through all the crap. Put a search term into Google, and the number of results you get, well you can easily waste a day or two going through it all. And who do you believe? One site says one thing and the next one says the exact opposite.

Now lets say you want to purchase a few things, in the offline world you would get in your car and off to the mall because you know that you can find all sorts of stores offering a variety of products. You don't have to drive from store to store, and if it is raining or snowing, you are inside in comfort. Online you can search for one thing at a time, but how do you know one site is as good as the other, and the time it takes to search, shop and repeat. As well, tracking orders, you will get multiple codes and emails with numbers that you must keep track of in case an order doesn't come. Why couldn't there be a shopping mall online??

Well there are, and if you search for shopping malls, you will find as many as in the offline world. But again, who can you trust, with the offline mall you can recognize most names of stores and know the reputation of them. Online you can't rely on just a name, you don't know how a site handles customers, especially the return policy.

I am sure you have heard of ClickBank, and if you have dealt with them you know that they have a good reputation. But did you know they have a marketplace where you can get digitally downloaded products. It is like a shopping mall but online, and a name you can trust. It is actually called CB Mall.

I recommend checking out any site you visit first, same as you would check out a store or product before you head to a store. Make sure that they are above par, make sure to check out a few reviews to get a fair assessment.

Happy Shopping!!

MLM Success, is it possible??

Is it actually possible to succeed in MLM? Do you really need a huge budget to advertise in order to see returns for your efforts? Why is it that the same methods that your upline promotes, don't seem to work for you?

I hear these questions all the time, and it amazes me that sponsors and uplines in MLM are still promoting marketing methods that are very much out of date. How is it they can promote those methods but I bet they don't use those methods for their success....well, that is true. See there is others ways to market that they won't tell you because once you start, they know you will soon outperform them and move on. They give you the methods that might get you a small percentage of signups, just enough to keep you interested, but not enough to allow you to go on your own.

I have heard all the training calls, did what they recommended. Checked out the lead generation sites and purchased some awful leads. Wasted time and money promoting an opportunity to the completely wrong market. What bugs me is that these companies say they offer support, but what they offer is the same old methods of marketing, or methods that everyone and their dog are doing.... For example:

- Search Engine Optimization - wonderful if you are selling something that only a few other sites are selling, but do a search for network marketing or internet marketing. What you get is results in the millions, now how are you supposed to get noticed there. Especially when most people don't normally go past the first two pages of search results.

- Buying leads/cold calling - Dead, dead and dead. Cold calling is only effective if you call hundreds per day, and even then you may see 1 or 2 results. You are just another telemarketer to them, doesn't matter how you approach them, most people will "hear" the sale coming. Buying leads works for some sites, normally general interest sites. For MLM or network marketing opportunities they don't. Most of those leads are people who answered yes to a survey question months ago asking about working from home. And most of them are people who just want a job working from home, they are not interested in running a business.

So what is the big secret to marketing with huge success?? Well, and this will really surprise you, stop marketing your business opportunity!! What, am I crazy?? How are you going to make money? The thing is a large majority of people in MLM or network marketing are like you and are looking to succeed. I can just hear your upline now...."It will come, you are doing all the right things" The best one is, "Don't reinvent the wheel". That is crap, complete and utter crap.

Time to reinvent the wheel, and the whole car while we are at it. The market you are advertising to is other network marketers. Now that is most likely contrary to what your upline and company are telling you. But it is the truth, see these are the people who are interested in marketing and learning how to successfully market. No use trying to promote an opportunity to your golf partner, uncle Bob or the cashier at the store....they really don't care or they don't want to take the time to learn marketing. You need the people who are in a program already and need advice on how to succeed.

As you have been marketing your opportunity I am sure you have signed up for programs along the way, and each one has an affiliate link that they give you. Time to use that, see what we are going to do is use those affiliate links to fund your advertising and at the same time, educate network marketers on how to successfully market their MLM opportunity.

So, your next question is how exactly do we go about doing that?? Now I have brought all the tools and advice you will need together in my site, MLM Success Secrets, and the best part the videos are all free.

Also I recommend viewing the videos by Mike Dillard on Magnetic Sponsoring, his 7 video free e-course is worth the time to watch, as well Ann Sieg offers two ebooks, The7 Great Lies of Network Marketing and The Renegade Network Marketer.
