Traffic Wave

I purchased a membership to Traffic Wave and I'm impressed with all of the quality tools they provide. These tools are especially useful to people just getting started in marketing an internet business. For around $19 a month, traffic wave gives you a url tracking system, auto-responder, banner ads, and a lead generating system.

I think price and service are both good except I wouldn't bother using the banner ad portion of their system unless you just have a lot of extra time on your hands. The banner part of the traffic wave system produced extremely low results for me. And their lead generation system also produced incredibly low results for me.

Their lead generation system is based on an FFA bulletin board confirmation system and what that means to you is that traffic wave is basically going to be emailing you a list of around 30 to 50 email addresses each day that you can advertise to. Traffic Wave only has a couple of conditions for you to follow if you're going to advertise to these email addresses they send you every day. The conditions are that you only email them your ad once and that your ad must contain a notice thanking them for posting to your FFA Board.

Again, if you are a beginner at marketing, I think this lead generation system would be a good learning experience for you. I think you should only do this if you have plenty of extra time on your hands to goof around. I say this because most of the email addresses that traffic wave sent me everyday were just other internet marketers that wanted to sell me their stuff.

It's my opinion that most of the email addresses traffic wave sent me were dead email address dump boxes of people that don't want to ever read their junk email. People using the traffic wave system usually set up free email accounts when they sign up with traffic wave so that when other people try to send them ads, they don't have to actually ever read them because they never go into their free email account. They just let all the ads pile up and then delete them later. This is the only thing that prevents the traffic wave lead generation system from working in my opinion.

But their ad tracking system is good and so is the auto- responder they give you. Plus traffic wave has some very useful articles on marketing that you can read to help you become a more effective internet marketer.

Traffic wave also has very good customer service.
