Traffic Power Control is a new site that says it guarantees more web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. More importantly, it promises higher CONVERSIONS--signups and sales. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Traffic Power Control" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Traffic Power Control Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Traffic Power Control link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Traffic Power Control link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner. It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Power Control. So if anyone clicks the Traffic Power Control image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Traffic Power Control links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Traffic Power Control (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Power Control image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Power Control also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Traffic Power Control even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Traffic Power Control really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Power Control. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Establish an Online Presence - SEO, Social Media, & Affiliate Marketing Networks
Today's guest article comes from the Internet Master of Affiliate Marketing, Mike Filsaime! Mike says:With over 6 billion people connected to the Internet worldwide, it is no surprise that anything can be found on the Internet. In fact, if you wish to make it in this new e-commerce world, you will need a solid online presence. This means integrating good SEO tactics, social media efforts and developing affiliate marketing networks. It is the only way to get yourself seen by both consumers and affiliates.
Basics of SEO
You could spend years studying SEO and never understand it all. Search engine optimization is constantly changing as search engines constantly change their requirements. Every time search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing make changes, someone comes along and tries to cheat. In turn, this causes the search engines to change their strategy again.
However, some basic SEO techniques are completely white hat and never go out of style.
Original Content - Instead of wasting time figuring out ways to cheat the system, focus on creating original content. Even if you beat the search engines, real people will want to read new stuff.
Quality - Along with original content, you will want quality writing. While the search engines may not recognize the difference, people do. High quality content will keep people coming back.
Continuous - Search engines and people like pages that are updated frequently. At the very least, you need to provide fresh content once a week. Ideally, you will want to provide content on 5 days a week.
Basics of Social Media
There was a time when businesses did not have a presence online and when they did, it was just a website. Now people want and expect businesses to have a social media presence as well. This could be places like Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter. The idea is to give people a place to find out what is happening and to provide feedback.
A social media site should include:
Promotional Information
New product descriptions
Polls/Surveys of potential products
Exclusive deals, coupons or offers
Basics of Affiliate Marketing Networks
Affiliates are a great way to promote your product. They can drive traffic to your site and increase sales. You can use both SEO techniques and social media outlets to attract potential affiliates.
An affiliate marketing system will need:
Tax records - You need the complete tax information on every affiliate you accept before you send out any payments. At the end of the year, you will be required to send out tax documentation to these people and to the IRS. Without the proper forms, you will find yourself paying taxes for your affiliates.
Promotions - While not always a requirement, many people have prizes, bonus and other rewards for their top affiliates. Again, you will need a system to track any promotional items given away. If you fail to track these items, you will have to pay taxes on these prizes.
Tracking ROI - ROI is one of the most important things you will have to deal with. Whether you outsource this or do it yourself, you will need to find some way to track your success in SEO, social media, and affiliates. This way you can determine what is working and what needs to be fixed.
