Free traffic, magic backlinks, & flying pigs.

I am on a lot of lists, and recently I received emails from at least 4 marketers, all pitching this new amazing underground traffic generating system called ‘Auto Traffic Avalanche’

I clicked on the link with haste (not) and was taken through the typical clickbank hop to the sales page for this new system. There I was greeted with the smiling face of the creator of this system, and a video started auto playing. I only watched the video that accompanied the sales page all the way through because I wanted to hear their sales copy, and I have to say – it was quite convincing. The system was a steal, knocked down by 75% for a bargain price of $39. And they still had copies available! (rolls eyes) I mean they were only limiting this to 234 copies, it is afterall a secret underground tactic. The video was so good in fact, that by the end of it I was almost convinced that this was the system for me, luckily though – I’m not an idiot.

I wanted to post this today because I am so sick and tired of this kind of thing entering the market place and catching so many people unawares. What upsets me further is that some of the marketers I have come to trust are pitching it to me too. I mean seriously people – WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!

Magical backlinks?

I build and promote niche sites, and promoting them is an ongoing learning curve. Building and tracking backlinks to learn what authority sites are the most effective and what methods are yielding the best results is a constant in the online marketing world, and no amount of magic formulas or underground systems are going to get you that ‘instant flow of traffic’ that they talk about. Everyone online is there to make money, that’s the bottom line, but like a gambler going to the races, are you really going to give away the secrets that took you years to develop and will guarantee your own livelihood for years to come, just to make a few bob and look like a nice guy?. Sure it pays to genuinely try to help people, because you really can’t do this on your own, but once you’ve made it there…

I’m sorry,call me selfish, call me small minded – but the world in which we live in is not exactly all peaches and cream, and in the end the only one you are there for is yourself and your family and friends, so if you had suddenly ‘made it’ why would you then turn around and just give it all away? It sounds too good to be true because it is. The Big Marketers love it when a system like this comes along. They launch it like it’s the QE2 and carry on and on about it until the cows come home, but the only cow in sight is the cash one they are creating for themselves right now.

Numbers don’t lie

These systems are all over the place, all the time- but today I am picking on this stupid Avalanche thingy, so let’s break it down into something that cannot lie – NUMBERS.
This guy (can’t be bothered going back to page to see exactly what his name is) claims to have tapped into an underground marketing method that can drive hordes of targeted traffic to your site, generating over $600 a day with each and every account (whatever that means) and he now wants to share it with us right? So he is currently making $1000′s every day on complete autopilot, thus guaranteeing the security of his family for years to come, but he wants to sell 234 copies for $39 each. Yeah – I definitely think he is giving away his own traffic future for the awesome sum of  $9126. Definitely.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that these systems do not contain awesome little tidbits and ideas that you may not have thought of to generate traffic to your site, but do you honestly believe that for $39 you are going to get the magic underground formula that no one else knows about in the world and suddenly start making money?! Sometimes these systems might contain exactly what you are looking for to add to your arsenal and make all the difference. We know this because amongst all the BS* testimonials are the occasional truthful ones, and these are those stories. Remember that the ones who made this work already had experience online and have vested the time and energy into their web presence already, making the addition work well.

It all comes down to YOU

At the end of the day it all comes down to how hard you are willing to work. The magic systems are there to make the Guru’s wealthy because they know that most Marketers just jump from one opportunity to the next, never actually getting any established credibility or skillset for that matter. If you want to make it online then you need to work your ass off.. a LOT. And if you want to learn about all the magic systems and ways to generate this ‘free’ traffic they talk about, then just look around the blogosphere. Because it’s all relevant, it’s all awesome, and best of all, it’s all free.

See you round the blogosphere… but first, check out this incredible new system I just tapped into
