Traffic Smarter and AutoHits – Sweet or Stupid?

Website Traffic

If you are selling, you need buyers. You can pay for leads, advertise, create email and forum signatures.

You can give out business cards, optimize your site for organic traffic from search engines and more.

Or, you can experiment with ideas that the “experts” tell you are a waste of time.

OrangeJackass decided to experiment, after learning a few things from a really cool dude named Aatos Poutiainen.

[Update]: The experiment has ended. Result? Too much bandwidth on my ISP! Aatos managed to get 200,000 credits by cascading his links and, because of referrals, he no longer has to autosurf as much. Sooo, the idea is sweet, if you don’t mind putting in a lot of up front work and if you have the bandwidth from your ISP to handle the autosurfs.

I removed all hyperlinks from the article, as they were referral links from the experiment.

System For Free Traffic

“Traffic exchanges don’t work!”

That’s what I’ve read. The reasons appear to be sound, too:

  • You Don’t Have Time to Autosurf
  • Everyone’s Selling, Nobody’s Buying
  • You’ll Get Spammed

Indeed, a few years ago, you did have to constantly click to visit websites in order to earn credits.

As for everybody selling, that may be true but, if you are targeting the autosurfers, you CAN get them to respond!

Finally, it’s not spam if you signed up for it. :) Annoying, maybe, but not spam.

The key to making traffic exchanges work is to change your perspective regarding the objections.

Then, find a system that supports the Traffic Exchange model.

The OrangeJackass System is simple.

First, understand that you have less than half a minute to capture your prospects’ attention.

You’ll need to create a quick-loading page (or use specially designed pages provided by the product vendor).

You’ll need to find a way to display this page to thousands of viewers.

The process must be hands-free after setup!

Traffic Exchange Pages

Depending on your product, your page can look like an ad, or it can be optimized for autosurfers’ viewing.

The OrangeJackass System initially relies on optimized pages like this:

ojaipptrex

Make your page compelling enough to invite a click!

Traffic Smarter

With your optimized ad ready to go, you should join TrafficSmarter.com.

This is not a Traffic Exchange site. In fact, the video on the home page

doesn’t think too highly of traffic exchanges. (They haven’t been paying attention to Aatos!)

What Traffic Smarter does, in fact, is allow you to earn credits, with which you purchase “views” on their network.

Traffic Smarter helps you send Solo email ads, which are part of the power of this system.

You get a bunch of credits for signing up.

You earn credits by referring people to the Traffic Smarter website.

For full details, click on the video tutorial link after logging in to your member area.

AutoHits

The next piece to the OrangeJackass System is AutoHits.dk, an automated way to refer people to Traffic Smarter.

This is the way Aatos was able to get over 100,000 credits in his Traffic Smarter account.

That’s a lot of views for his other ads, no?

AutoHits allows you to have up to 10 websites running at one time.

Your first URL should be directed back to TrafficSmarter.com! I made the mistake of using my first credits on my affiliate product.

Learn from my mistake! Until you have enough credits in AutoHits, don’t dilute your efforts from promting Traffic Smarter!

K.I.S.S.

Keep it simple, surfer! Both TrafficSmarter.com and AutoHits.dk have tools and promotional materials.

The OrangeJackass system can be implemented with a single referral link from Traffic Samrter.

Once you get that up and running, you can focus on promoting your other products and maximizing the tools available.

Instant Plug and Pay Review of a Review

OrangeJackass found a SWEET program today. It’s called Instant Plug and Pay.

It combines a free store filled with hot products, free domain, viral marketing and multiple tiers of compensation. It is free to join, and fun to play with!

Okay, OrangeJackass is a bit nerdy, but really, I had fun creating this post and setting up my affiliate link:

Instant Plug and Pay

That’s right, this pile of cash can be yours, IF:

  • You can follow directions
  • You don’t sit back and let the “auto-pilot” do ALL the work

Follow Directions - Registration is free and simple.
There is a tempting offer during registration that I’ve never seen implemented before. Trust me, it WILL be copied. (I already have a few ideas …)

Auto-Pilot, my Eye! - nothing is truly, 100% automated, though Instant Plug and Pay comes close. You still have to promote your website and affiliate links. Instant Plug and Pay has an awesome tutorial on using link cloaking and tracking. This is important for the newbies that you’re going to attract. Here is an example:
