| Using Paid Autosurf Programs to Effectively Advertise Your Website.
In this day and age, a competitive advertising strategy is a
crucial part of your website business' success. There are many
options to consider when choosing what advertising you will
purchase for your online business including: *Search Engine
Placing's 1. Google's rankings have been all over the place this
past year which makes it harder for Search Engine Optimisers to
predict rankings 2. Paid inclusions are often overpriced due to
over-competition for the same popular search terms 3.
Pay-Per-Click Frauds are commonly reported by many purchasers
*While Banner Advertising once pulled a 5-10% click through
rate, we are now lucky to get 0.6%, yet it still costs the same
for these much poorer results. *E-zines and Email list Providers
are often unable to prove how many of their subscribers actually
receive their emails. Since the introduction of the CAN the SPAM
act, many email spam filters are blocking even legitimate emails
wanted by subscribers. *PopUps, Popunders, Floating Ads and
Fly-ins have mostly disappeared with blocking programs. Some
even say that very few people in fact buy from a slide over or
popup and that they are more an advertising measure applied to
attract the marketer rather than the client.
With the above mentioned problems with paid advertising options
why would you initially pay for customers, website hits,
overpriced and unproven advertising techniques when you can get
"traffic" for free and get paid for your involvement with an
autosurf program.
Paid autosurf programs are a type of advertising co-operative
where members get paid for viewing websites. After logging into
the members' control panel, members click on a link to the "Paid
to Surf" section. This opens a window which automatically
rotates website "ads" automatically with no clicking required.
It is just like watching "ads" on your television. Members get
paid usually 1-2% of their membership level for autosurfing
daily the required number of websites (usually 100-200).
Autosurf programs have short viewing times, between 10-25
seconds. As a website owner you want your site to be very quick
loading so viewers will see your page load completely before the
timer is up and they move on. If the site you want to promote
via autosurf programs is very slow loading; such as those with
lots of graphics; you will need to create a doorway page. A
doorway page is a simple page with text and colour but no
graphics, hopefully intriguing enough to entice viewers to click
through to your main site.
If you don't have html access to the main site you wish to
promote (such as those provided by many affiliate programs) use
a free website host or your personal website space provided with
most internet service providers. Autosurf members will not see
the actual URL of the page you put into rotation and many will
view websites without any graphics being displayed. This means
that any banner advertising which comes with many free sites
won't even be visible.
For browsing paid autosurf programs most members choose
multi-tabbed browser programs such as Avant or Crazy Browser.
These contain many features not available on Internet Explorer
or Netscape including pop-up filtering and viewing options to
block pictures and Java to reduce bandwidth and increase surfing
speed.
Members who are surfing keep watch for "bonus credits". These
won't help you earn more cash but do help you earn more
exposures of your website in the autosurf rotation. For every
credit earned your website will get one more view in the
rotation.
When reputable programs are chosen, autosurfing can be so
lucrative it can get addictive; so work out a strategy. Plan to
earn more by increasing your membership level. Keep to your
advertising budget but remember that at 1% per day you will earn
back what you have put in, in about 100 days. You can even work
out a strategy to cover your online expenses out of your
autosurf earnings. Most paid autosurf programs pay monthly. If
you are thinking about paying to belong to an affiliate program,
wait until your monthly autosurf earnings will cover that cost.
If you are thinking about creating your own website, don't pay
for hosting until you earnings will cover that cost. Often times
you can actually purchase website hosting through the paid
autosurf program and arrange for the cost to be taken out of
your monthly earnings. Then without online banking and transfer
fees as well as getting special members rates you doubly save.
Autosurf members have an online income so they are more likely
to spend on the advertising view. This is much better for your
profit lines and a much better advertising choice. As your
downline grows in autosurf programs you will notice that you get
the email addresses of your referred members. You can contact
them and this can start to form "the list" that many successful
online entrepreneurs use to promote other affiliate programs.
Spend wisely on advertising. Your autosurfing income can provide
your advertising budget to allow you to purchase extra
autosurfing credits, banner advertising, paid placements in
Search Engines and eventually even offline advertising as your
income grows. Autosurfing can provide you with a reliable income
to buy many of the other online services you need to be a
successful internet entrepreneur.
If you want more information or to get started go I have
complied an information page at
http://www.australianonlinerewards.com/Paid2$urf.htm which
includes a review of some of the best paid autosurf programs.
Educate yourself on good Autosurf programs. Anyone can start a
paid autosurf program but not everyone has the management skills
or financial backing to ensure the programs survival. Spread
your risk in a few different programs but most of all have fun.
Some webmasters have even claimed that increasing the amount of
traffic to your website will naturally increase your search
engine rankings, so give it a try and you too can get paid for
promoting your website. Autosurfing is a proven way of getting
free traffic to your site while you build up your earnings.
