We All Need To Re-Think Traffic
We spoke a bit about AI last time around, and since then we’ve really been digging into it and testing out a whole swag of tools and services. I’ll share some of the results shortly, but first I want to discus some of the possible impacts on EzClix and the IM-space in general.
Recently I did a little experiment and asked an AI how if it would be feasible to build an AI Agent that could automatically earn credits on traffic exchanges and safelist mailer sites.
Three minutes later I had step-by-step guide to follow.
Two minutes after that, I had a No-Code AI Builder create an app to perform one of the steps.
Basically it’s not a question if ‘If’, but ‘When’!
(You can check out the AI responses here).
EzClix is in an interesting position here.
We don’t rely on these types of sites for much of our traffic and we certainly don’t spend much on it. We have quite a lot of ‘lifetime’ accounts we’ve bought over the years, so most of what we do get is ‘free’, and the sites we pay for are the premium ones that do in fact deliver some better quality traffic. For now.
Where it will impact us, is with quite a few of the ‘Premium Traffic Services‘ we use. Quite a few of these rely heavily on traffic exchanges and safelists, so we have to assume that traffic will eventually have an expiry date after which it’s just not worth paying for.
Things are definitely going to change and we need to that as a business and as a community.
Most people should to take a close look at their own personal traffic options and systems as well. Make sure you’re clear on where your traffic is coming from, and make sure you have tracking in place so you can see when any given source stops delivering ‘real’ visitors. (More on that next time!) What I want to stress is:
This Is Actually A Good Thing!
The good news is, this has all been coming for quite a while and we’ve been busy finding and developing AI-Proof Traffic Systems.
So far these include:
SEO Content Blogs … Content rich websites that we can rank in the search engines to generate organic traffic, which we can direct to your offers. This is a slow process to do right, so we started on a couple of these last year, and we’re starting to see some useful results.
SEO Web Apps & Tools… These are simple, single-function websites that can rank extremely well in the search engines. We’ve got one ready to go and a few more in the pipeline. These are providing services that marketers will want to use, over and over, and we’ll be showing your ads and links when they do!
Social Media Marketing… We’ve set up new accounts, or reactivated old ones, and started posting content regularly, to rebuild our audiences. Long-term the goal is to grow big followings to generate direct traffic to your offers, assist with the SEO on all our websites, and help launch any new projects.
Video Marketing… We’ve neglected this one a bit, but the few videos we have posted… mostly instructions and sales videos from our different websites… actually generate some steady traffic. So we’re onto it now using a couple of AI tools to generate and post some videos to get things rolling, and we’ll be back to make some better quality content later on.
Solo Ads Revisited… Solo Ads have long been the most reliable traffic source available to online marketers, but the high cost-per-click means they aren’t practical for an operation like EzClix. So instead, we’re developing a new site that will let us grow our own list and generate some serious Solo Ad style traffic to your offers.
That last one is big, so I’ll cover it in a separate post next.
The #2 priority is to interlink each of these to grow and support each other, and to utilize our existing membership across all our sites. Everything listed will be free to use, fully inter-connected, and hopefully, extremely viral! (If we end up adding any Pro Features to these, EzClix members will always get free access).
For now though, we’ll be asking all our Members (on all our sites) to check in from time to time and lend a hand wherever you can.
All sites and tools are designed for marketers just like you, so if nothing else, we just encoruage you to check out the blogs and test out the tools.
And if you like what you see, give us a share.
If even half our Members do that on a regular basis, this thing will explode!
