I have been trying to rank high for the keywords “ppv traffic” for my site Realppvtraffic.com .(I am already on the first page of Google.) So I went to Yahoo Answers and just logged in with my yahoo email. I then searched Yahoo Answers for the keywords “ppv traffic.” I found a question asking about the legitimacy of ppv traffic and about the popular Mass PPV Traffic Clickbank course. Since, I know something about this subject I just answered honestly and completely. I gave a link to a review of the course, an explanation of what ppv traffic is and a list of networks (including mine!) where they could purchase ppv traffic. I did not just copy and paste an article but I wrote and original response to the question listing my sources.

You may see my Yahoo Answers response to the question “What Is PPV Traffic” here.

So now I have an article and link back to my websites on one of the highest ranked websites in the world. Plus I am coming across as an authority in my field. This just took me a few minutes. Whatever you are promoting I suggest you take the time to search through Yahoo Answers and answer relevant questions to your field. Respond thoughtfully to the questions and eventually you will have some very targeted, quality links coming back to your website as well as increased credibility in your marketplace.

Oh yes, and if you have a blog like this one go ahead and link back to your Yahoo Answers response like I just did for extra SEO and exposure! See you at the top of the search engines!

On this blog post Kern claims to have a special secret source of traffic which blows away Google so that you do not even have to think about Google anymore. Screw em! To learn about this secret source of traffic it would only cost me $1. But here is the catch. I am automatically subscribed to Info Marketing Monthly which will be conveniently billed to me for $97. per month until I cancel.

At least I know the deal. As long as I remember to cancel this will only cost me one dollar. Of course if Kern’s Info Marketing Monthly is so awesome I might decide it is worth continuing at $97. per month. So I paid the $1. and downloaded the pdf file, Screw Google.

So what is this secret source of traffic that makes Google obsolete? Yahoo Search Marketing. Not really a big secret Frank. I have tested this platform quite a bit and it has never converted as well as Google Adwords. And I really wanted it to! Because Frank is right Yahoo is way easier to deal with than Google. They actually want your business.

Upon further reading of the PDF Frank recommends tracking your campaigns so that you can tell exactly which keywords are converting to sales. He recommends the tracking service Tracking202.com. This service will tell you which keywords in your campaigns are converting to sales. This way you can stop paying for low converting keywords and focus you ad spending. I had not been doing this with my Yahoo campaigns so maybe this could make the difference between making money and losing money with PPC.

Kern also recommends leaving the content match section of Yahoo search marketing unchecked. This means that your ad will only be on the Yahoo network and not on other sites. He says this type of traffic converts better. I had the content match section on during my unsuccessful campaigns. Perhaps this could make the difference between a successful campaign or a failure.

Overall the members area is full of very good information. It is definitely worth risking the $1. I am not sure I will continue for the $97. per month. I do appreciate the tweeks I learned about Yahoo Search Marketing. Be careful though, it is tricky making money with PPC. You really have to have a product which already converts extremely well. To his credit, Frank does cover this topic first and in detail with his “Screw Google System.”

Update. November 11 2009.

Hey, if you want to see the real Screw Google system check out my new site Realppvtraffic.com. I have found a way of getting real keyword targeted advertising for as little as 1 cent per view of your website. I have been testing this source with my own bucks and it is giving me real sales and signups.
