1. I manually submitted 10 original videos to the largest list of working video hosting directories I could develop. Content Buzz is a great social media marketing software and I highly recommend it. Shaun’s service is also first rate. However, he only submits to about 30 of the top video sites. I wanted to submit to all of them. So I signed up for as many video hosting site accounts as I could. Here is the list of sites that I manages to successfully upload my videos to. It took me forever but I used Roboform to help automate filling in the fields. To see how well this works just go to Google and type in “finding keywords for ppv traffic” almost every listing for 3 pages is one of my videos. It takes forever to compile a list like this and upload the videos but it does work. A huge part of the task was just getting a list of video sites that worked. Many malfunctioned, did not deliver the confirmation email, or specialize in niches such as animal husbandry which had no value to me.

2. I posted my original articles and videos on my 2 blogs and my forum. I am lucky. Well actually no, I have worked my but off for years to develop these sites but I have a very busy forum The Free Ad Forum, 2 blogs Quickregister.net and Beneaththeblogger.com. I posted my articles, reviews and videos about ppv traffic on all my busy websites.

3. I then turned my videos into podcasts and submitted all my videos to the podcast directories as podcasts. Here is a list of podcast directories and a link to an article on how to create a podcast feed from a Blogger account. It is not that hard and that is what I did. The podcast directories need a feed url that you can submit.

4. I typed in “ppv traffic blog” on Google and manually looked for highly ranked blogs talking about ppv traffic. Most were talking about Mass PPV Traffic course. I went to as many as I could and read the post, and made relevant comments with a link back to my site in the blog from field. Notice I say “relevant comments.” I did not spam the blogs. Since I know something about the subject I made intelligent posts that for the most part were way better comments than they were getting.

Here is another trick. On some of the posts I included a list of ppv networks. Of course mine was in the list but I also included my competitors as well. This way it did not seem too self serving. This got me into some forums which normally would never have allowed a direct link back to my site.

5. I went to the major Answer sites like Yahoo Answers and answered questions about ppv traffic. What if nobody is asking the questions you want to answer? Well, then get a friend to sign up and ask the right questions. You don’t have any friends you say? Well, just get an imaginary friend to sign up and ask the questions you want to answer. Yahoo Answers is a great site and very under used by marketers. Most of the actual answers stink on Yahoo. So if really supply insightfull answers to your questions you probably will have the best answers there. You can also include up to 10 direct links back to your sites as “sources.” Nothing like having a direct like from the domain Yahoo.com back to your site with your detailed keyword loaded answers. Here is a list of answer sites like Yahoo. I have not had a chance to use them all just a couple. If you have experience with these other sites let me know.

6. I created Squidoo and Hubpages. I noticed in my searches for my term ppv traffic that Hubpages and Squidoo were hosting some of the top ranked pages for my keywords ppv traffic. These sites are similar and allow you to make pages or lenses containing your original material. The advantage is that these sites are very busy and get picked up by the search engines generally faster than your lower ranked blog. I copied and pasted an original review into the Hubpages account. It was rejected. Even though it was original they want content that is not on any other site. Squidoo does not have that limitation. I like Squidoo much better. Also, their affiliate program is much simpler. However, both sites get picked up very quickly so as much original material that you can put on both of them the better. They do look cool too.

7. Submitted my material to other social media sites using Contentbuzz automated software. I also submitted my information to the following types of social media sites using Contentbuzz:

Story sites such as Mixx and Propeller
Micro Blogs such as Facebook and Friendfeed
Rss Agregators such as Bloglines and Feedage
Image Sites such as Flickr
Content Buzz can save you hours of time with your social media campaigns. It submits to about as many sites as you can automatically submit to. If you want to do more you can manually submit your media to the ones they do not submit to.

8. I submitted my articles about ppv traffic to Ezine Articles. I really did not bother submitting to the other Article Directories. I think most of them have lost their value and do not seem to get picked up too well with the search engines. However, Ezine Articles, still has some juice because of their stringent article review procedures.

9. Manually submitted all my Rss Feeds to the Rss Agregators. Content Buzz does some of this for you. But you have more Rss feeds than you know about! Most of the video hosting sites have rss feeds, of course all your blogs have rss feeds, your Ezine Article accounts has rss feeds just keep an eye pealed. You will start seeing rss feeds all over the place. You can take these feeds and submit them to the feed aggregators. I have done this manually but I have seen some software called Rss Submitter that helps automate the process. It might be good to get. Every time you get a new Rss feed just submit it.

10. I went back and made sure all the profiles on all my social media sites have my picture, bio and links back to my sites. All the video hosting directories, and social media sites have places where you can set up your profiles. Fill these out with links back to your site and with your keywords. These are highly ranked sites. They provide great back links and authority for your main sites.

As you can see I just pushed a button and everything happened while I was asleep. Yeah right! Social media marketing is actually a lot of work and I have not even touched on everything you can do (I have like 10 Twitter followers.) The video seems to be working the best right now along with original informative blog posts. Do not be afraid of some manual labor. We are all looking for the automated solution. Sometimes you just have to dig in and get your hands dirty. Frank Kern had a great post the other day about “Growing A Pair.” About a lady who had everything going against her and still succeeded. Sometimes I think we are really spoiled. We are always looking for the easy solution. Thanks Frank. I needed that.

P.S. I almost forgot. I did one more thing to rank higher for the keywords ppv traffic. I wrote this post about getting ranked number 1 for the term ppv traffic in Google! LOL. Did I say ppv traffic?, has anybody heard of ppv traffic?, can a brother get a little ppv traffic around here…….I’m going to the beach.

I think it is especially good if you are selling low priced products to the internet marketing community. If you were selling a high ticket item that was targeted to a very specific niche I do not think it would work as well. But for my niche it actually converts better and is much less expensive than Adwords. The only problem is that it is difficult to scale up. If you want lots more of this traffic it is not easy just to purchase more. It is not a home run for me but definitely a single. And those singles add up! If you have a product or service which appeals to marketers this is very nice addition to your other marketing methods. Please listen to the video and let me know what you think in the comments area of the blog. Thank you. Matthew Meyer.

P.S. If you want to sign up for Trafficswarm you may do so for free here. Yes I will receive a commission if you upgrade to pro and I suggest you do. Trafficswarm has been a very reliable traffic source for me and I am confident that they will perform for you as well.

Notice that for 2009 over 57,000 people clicked on the credit links. There is both a regular mailer and by far more mail goes out with the regular mailer. So if 57,000 people clicked on the credit links more than double that clicked on regular links. But the important point is that people cannot click on any links unless they see your ad. People are viewing ads with Topsafelist.net. They also are all BUYERS. They paid for a membership. There is no free option with this safelist.

For me the first job of an advertising service is to get my ad before real buyers. Then it has to do so in a cost effective manner. Well this costs $12. per year. $1. per month. Dirt cheap actually. Obviously you are not going to get rich sending your ads daily to this safelist but for $12. you might get additional members to your newsletter who you can market to over and over again. (They are buyers remember? Have I made this point?) You could make some sales. You could get some people to link back to you. Bottom line your ads are going out, people are seeing them and it costs next to nothing. I think that Topsafelist.net is worth being in your arsenal of advertising tools. Especially if you are on a budget.

I realize this is not the sexiest topic. I could be writing about how I made millions through traffic arbritrage with ppv traffic (working on that.) But people keep joining, keep using and keep viewing ads sent out by this darn safelist. If you want to join Topsafelist.net you may do so here.

If you want us to set you up with your own website SELLING safelist memberships see my site Topsafelistbiz.com. Safelist memberships are easy to sell because everyone is looking for advertising for their business. Many marketers have found their first success online selling safelist memberships. See here to learn more about Topsafelistbiz.com. See here to view a tutorial on how I sold over 6000 safelist memberships. I still sell them almost everyday

In any case good luck and let me know what your experiences have been with safelists, even this one in the past.
