Another easy way to drive massive traffic

Another easy way to drive massive traffic is by using safe list.

If you do not have the list, you always can pay for certain amount of money to send your email to hundreds even thousands of opt-in e-mail readers. This is not considered as spam since the list members agreed to receive e-mails from the list owner either in specific categories or in general.

Some of opt-in e-mail list providers:

  • onedollaremail.com
  • e-mailpaysu.com

FFA classifieds website project

I’m now in progress of developing free for all classifieds website that will

– make it very easy to post ad. No registration required
– easily to search by keyword

– has search engine friendly feature

– ready to serve outside Malaysia market in the future

Target to launch end of this week (Feb 27, 2006). And will get lots of traffic from search engine within 2 months time. Will apply all my knowledge in SEO and PHP programming to optimize the ranking of the website.

The income will be generated by targeted-keyword ads publishing and popular affiliate programs.

Use PHP and MySQL as the back end technology.

Adsense – the hard part

Making money with adsense is easy and fast. I can make 10 mini websites in a week. Complete with design, contents, domain name etc.
To make more money in adsense is by getting more visitors and get them click on the ad. So, the hard part is to get the traffic. It takes time to get traffic from search engine but this is the most cost effective way (because it’s free!) but you need to wait for few weeks to get listed on search engine.
To get fast traffic is by using adwords to advertise new website while waiting for the website to get listed in search engine and climb the rank. Other than that by post your links to article directory, classifieds, forums, mailing list etc. This is lots of work and will end sooner after your post the URL.

So, the strategy –

1. Use google adwords while waiting for website to get listed/crawled

2. Send URL so that it can be seen in many places (but don’t spam)

3. Do the link exchange and other SEO techniques to get listed and ranked high

4. Continue to add quality contents to the website especially targeted on high-paying keywords.

The code is as below

srand(time());
$random_num = (rand()%$maxnum);
echo “The random number is: ” . $random_num;

What is the best autoresponder on the net?

I also not sure which are the best. 🙂 But I have a list of autoresponder that you can look at. The price, the features, the reliability and effectiveness.

What is autoresponder anyway?

It is an application to manage your subscription list, to submit sequential message automatically giving a specific period of time. For example you are selling a medicine online. You offer a special report on your medicine benefits etc to the user by let them subscribe to your newsletter.

All the messages you want to send has been set up in advanced. You have set up let say 4 messages with interval of 3 days of each message. The first message will be sent immediately after the user subscribe to your newsletter. After 3 days, the second one arrive at the subscriber inbox. And so on till the last message.

So what is the benefit?

People won’t buy from you on the first visit. So you can use autoresponder to build credibility and convince people on your services or products. You can follow up with them on their progress after reading your previous messages etc. This will increase subscribers confidence and will lead to a sale.

Here are some autoresponder for you to evaluate.
1. SendFree ($19.97) – As its name, it is free for you to use but with ads. Without ads need to upgrade. Have free trial for 30 days
2. GetResponse – ($17.95) You can have a limited feature of this autoresponder for free
3. EmailAce – ($8.95) Paid autoresponder. Promo as low as $2.95 for first 30 days.
