Leaving Google AdWords For Good?

Pay per click marketing is getting more and more expensive as each day goes by. Because of this, a lot of internet marketers are walking away from the ppc model of traffic generation. No longer do they want to suffer the inevitable profit losses that are due to high click costs. So a lot of internet marketers as well as affiliate marketers are trying to find another option.

But to be honest with you, this is really coming at a strange time because right now, I am hearing of so many online marketers making up to six figures a month promoting affiliate offers on Google adwords.

And with the recent release of the Google Goggles, you would think that people will give Google adwords another chance. But I guess they are just sick and tired of Google.

Especially those who desire to build a targeted email list of subscribers. In adwords, it is almost impossible to get a decent amount of search traffic to an email opt in landing page due to the Slap rules.

And because of this, many list builders are looking for another alternative way to keep the traffic flowing to their website.

Even though I am a fan of generating free website traffic, I am really considering testing some other alternatives as well.

I just heard of a service called ExactSeek that allows advertisers to get top placements in their network of search engines for one low flat fee. This service will grant you 3 months of top placement for one keyword phrase in their search engines at a low cost of $12. Now if you are spending a dollar per click on adwords, then you need to consider using this service. If this service can send you over 12 targeted visitors within 3 months, then you pretty much got cheaper traffic than what you would’ve spent at Google.

According to a few sources, ExactSeek’s network of search engines siphons about 150 million searches a month….which is some outstanding news for us…due to the fact that this service may provide us a decent amount of traffic.

Therefore, I am going to run an experiment with this service to see what would happen. Since I am always focused on building the opt in list, I am going to test and see whether or not this service sends me high quality leads and subscribers. As we all know, the quality of the traffic means the world, and if this traffic sucks, then I will surely let you know.

I will give you my results in 3 months….so stay tuned.
