Free Traffic System – Worth the Hype?

What’s the story behind the link building Free Traffic System

If you run any niche websites or blogs, or are generally interested in online marketing, you may have heard about the Free Traffic System. It seems that many webmasters have become enamored with the system, while others aren’t as satisfied. So what’s the true story with the Free Traffic System, how does it work and is it worth your time?

What is the Free Traffic System?

The Free Traffic System is a link building program that is designed to get you potentially thousands of incoming links to your websites in a short amount of time. At least that is what the website promises you to do.

The way it works is that you write an article revolving around any topic of your choice. After creating a base article, you “spin” it, which involves placing some code into the article and substituting words with a handful of different keywords or phrases.

As an example, in an article about the NFL, in one reference to “NFL” I might spin the term to look like: “[spin]National Football League|professional football|NFL[/spin]“.

The program itself then takes the article with all of the spun words and phrases you included and randomly chooses different words from each combination. The purpose is to in theory create hundreds of different unique articles from just one base article. With the article scoring as unique in the search engine algorithms, a link from that article leading back to your website then would hold legitimate value, as opposed to multiple links coming from duplicate content spread around the web.

Each of your articles includes two links back to the website pages of your choice. You also have the opportunity to spin the anchor text used in the links, and use various URL destinations, to spread out the links you receive. With incoming links carrying so much weight in Google PageRank and therefore your search engine ranking, the Free Traffic System has quickly spread around the world of online marketing as somewhat of an article marketing strategy on steroids.

After spinning the article you get to choose a handful (30 for free members, 40 for premium members) of different blogs, websites and directories to submit the article. By and large, the websites are from other Free Traffic System users, who submitted their blog to the system to in turn receive additional link back opportunities with the articles they themselves submit.

Is it Really Free?

Yes, it’s true that you don’t have to pay to use the Free Traffic System. However, there is a premium membership which offers additional features such as the capacity to add more links and article destinations for each piece of content you submit. Some people jumped on the opportunity to increase their potential with the system and therefore are premium members while others feel it’s not necessary for their online promotion efforts.

Does it Work?

Yes, the Free Traffic System works, although in my personal experience it does not work exactly as promised. To begin with, the process of spinning an article can be fairly time consuming if you want to end up with legitimately unique articles. To combat this, Free Traffic System also offers for purchase software that spins your articles for you, if you’re willing to pay the price. Additionally, some SEO content writers may take on the task of spinning the article for you as well.

Besides the arduous task of spinning articles, the links you receive may be questionable. Some of the blogs you choose to publish your article on end up not working, while others appear to be low ranking, one-size-fits-all directories that wouldn’t help your own PageRank much in any event.

Finally, another concern lies in the appearance of duplicate content around the web. While the service says that all you have to do is change around the words to have perfectly unique articles, the formulas that judge what is unique and what is copied incorporate more than just which words appear, such as article structure, purpose and similar words and terminology.

With all of this said, some webmasters really swear by the Free Traffic System. Without spending any money you can potentially build up thousands of incoming links, with a maximum of 60 possible links coming in per article for free members.

For other people, the task of spinning and the possible low quality of incoming links doesn’t make the system worthwhile. The best way of course for you to make a final determination is to try it out and gauge the results you see from your traffic and rankings.

Number 1 Way to Make Money Online: Review

Is the New Guide the Number 1 Way to Make Money Online Worth the Cost?

The latest in a near infinite number of eBooks, guides and programs to be released about making money online is “The Number 1 Way to Make Money Online“, or the N1WAY. It’s basically an eBook geared towards helping anyone, no matter how new they are to the concept or not, with creating profitable niche websites and therefore earning a legitimate income from home. However the question remains, is it worth the money, or is it another waste of time?

What Exactly is the Number 1 Way to Make Money Online?

Obviously there are a lot of different ways that you could potentially earn money online. The Number 1 Way to Make Money Online is a guide specifically on the topic of affiliate marketing through the process of building niche websites. It walks you through the process of choosing a market, building a website, marketing a website and then repeating the process to build multiple websites and grow your income.

The Positives

As mentioned, the Number 1 Way to Make Money Online guides you through the entire niche website building process. Some of the best information in this eBook comes from the thorough information on how to go about finding a potentially profitable niche market. Steps involved include brainstorming ideas you are familiar with, researching the keywords centered around the topic to see if they’re viable, checking out the top competition for those phrases and more.

More particularly valuable information includes the sections that discuss how to build your site. You have to think in terms of what the people in your market are really searching for, and you then have to provide that valuable insight. Much is made in the guide of filling a very specific place in the market with your niche website, and doing nothing more or less than is necessary to succeed.

Niche websites as the N1WAY guide prescribes them, are made from review pages and guide pages. Guide pages answer questions that consumers have, and reviews provide specific information about individual products, and your affiliate marketing advertisements designed to produce sales.

If you’re new to the world of Internet marketing and are looking for a complete tutorial to walk you through every step of the process, then this is certainly a great guide for you. Additionally, if you already have some of the programs and tools discussed in the guide and are looking for ways to make better use of them, the Number 1 Way to Make Money Online will also prove to be quite handy.

The Negatives

The main negative with the Number 1 Way to Make Money Online is that if you’re an intermediate-level Internet mogul in the making, there isn’t a whole lot of new information for you. You may be able to gain some new tips and pointers, but ultimately the N1WAY guide is clearly designed for beginners and those struggling to get over the initial hump.

Not that it’s a true negative, but it’s worth noting that the Number 1 Way to Make Money Online guide is written by the creators of the Build a Niche Store system. Therefore, the guide is entirely focused around creating affiliate marketing websites based from the eBay platform and using BANS. The guide is however very upfront in that fact that rather than using BANS, you could use a WordPress blog with other tools like PHPBay.

One final comment is that some of the information on marketing seems a bit glossed over and basic. The Number 1 Way to Make Money Online takes a very toned down approach to marketing and link building. It assumes that through the keyword research, market selection and website building process, you built a website that will succeed nearly regardless of what you do or don’t do afterwards.

As anyone with experience in the world of niche websites or affiliate marketing can tell you, that’s simply not the truth. Therefore, the guide certainly could have used a beefed up section on marketing and promotion.

Final Thoughts

It’s hard to go wrong with a comprehensive guide that’s just going to set you back 25 bucks. However, if you’re already making profitable websites and seem to have your own system in place, you won’t be learning much. Additionally, if your main area of need lies in marketing and promotion rather than research and creation, this won’t be the guide for you.

You can learn more about the guide at the official website for The Number 1 Way to Make Money Online.
