Capitalizing on Localized Traffic - Using Wordpress

Using various tools you can build nice local sites that will drive adsense and affiliate revenues.  Local traffic is a lot easier to capitalize on than national traffic in certain niches.  Using a variety of tools you can get a lot of content out there targeting local search terms and get better conversion, albeit lower traffic.

A site that I built to get traffic on Brunswick car dealers will have over 100 pages in the next thirty days and go after local terms like 2009 Shelby Mustang near Brunswick.  It will be monetized with adsense, ebay and auto lead affiliate programs.

This strategy to reach in market car buyers on a local level is far superior than chasing national traffic for car dealers with terms like Nissan delivers.  The traffic will be more substantial and last longer than a flash in the pan promotion.

This will also help me prove a case study on using wordpress for dealer micro sites on how to win the most local keyword the fastest.

Reviews Sites as a Traffic Source

I cannot believe I have been ignoring this blog for so long and really do apologize to people that have visited looking for information on traffic arbitrage.  First let me start by saying that PPC traffic is way over rated in sponsored search results.  If you are going to "buy" traffic with ppc you are better off to stick with the content network unless you are still working on Search Engine Optimization for your keywords.

You will realize way more value from SEO than PPC.  PPC is a crutch for a poorly optimized site or fresh landing page.

One thing I have have ben playing around with using is rating sites to drive traffic.  These can be huge tools to drive optimized traffic for your keywords and building up your SEO.  A topic though that gets some attention though is why are dealer reviews mostly negative.  And a there is a good discussion going on at an Automotive Forum regarding this.

Maybe it has a lot to do with how people that work for car dealer employees respond when the dealership makes a mistake.  That industry has a lot to learn still...

Keeping it up

Apparently I am doing something right here. In just four days I have generated a little over $400 in affiliate income from my arbitrage experience.

I am adding three more campaigns today. I am sure that they all will not be as responsive as the one I am currently running. The good thing is I am over $400 in profit so I have some flexibility to experiment.

My ultimate goal is to have 15 campaigns going at one time and continually researching others. I have done this with basically no out of pocket money. If you remember I got $20 in free advertising from the Bidvertiser. (see button on left) I have now over spent the $20 but it is because I am in profit.

For my next three campaigns I will be dedicating $300 in advertising total. $100 for each campaign. I will post the details of each one in a later post.

Keep coming back it works...
