Program Review: AdClickMedia Generates Traffic and Sales
This program gets my top pick for new Advertising resources and once you setup your account, you'll soon agree.
In this post, I'm going to show you how to setup your own Text ad as well, I'll show you how to put the AdClickMedia publishers code on your own blog. You can add it to any website and begin receiving clicks and cash.
One of the items I like best about AdClickMedia is that any income I earn through clicks on my site I can transfer to the advertisers section to pay for my own ads.
There are two ways AdClickMedia works for you. As an Advertiser, you can place your ads in the system much like you would at Google Adwords but for a lot less money and second, you can earn income as a Publisher by placing the AdClickMedia code on your website.
We are going to show you how to do both in this exercise.
First step, you need to register at the site to setup an account with AdClickMedia.
Click here to register: http://adclickmedia.com/m/index.cgi/sykaro
Once registered, you will login to your account to setup your ads and create your ad code for your blog or website.
Setting up your AdClickMedia account
1. Setting Up As An Advertiser
As an advertiser with AdClickMedia, you can setup your ads just like in Google Adwords and you can pay for clicks to your link. I use this service regularly to get a consistent stream of new members to my website.
From the main login window, you will see two options. One for Advertisers and one for Publishers. We will begin with the Advertising setup. So once logged in, click on Start Advertising under the Advertisers section on the left side.
We are going to begin with a photo text ad so click on Click here to start a text ad campaign.
HINT: There is a link to "Learn More" and I recommend you visit the link to get a better feel for how the Advertising works.
Ok, now let's setup an ad. I will be using one of the ads I setup for Earth Friendly Biz, you'll want to setup your ads according to your business that you are promoting.
We have two areas to complete, your Text Ad Contents and your Ad Target.
Here are the fields you need to complete:
Text Ad Contents
Add Image: (optional) View/Choose Existing Image | Upload New
If you do not have a graphic for your ad, you can leave this blank or consider uploading a picture or you!
Ad Headline: (Character Max - 55)
For this example, I used Creating Income From Home
Ad Body: (Character Max - 255)
For this example, I used Build a List of Paying Prospects for Your Business and Generate Multiple Streams of Income
Website Name: (Character Max - 25)
For this example, I used Earth Friendly Biz
Website URL:
For this example, I used http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com
Now we move on to complete the Ad Target area.
Ad Target
Channel Targeting: Target Specific Categories Choose 'All Categories' to make the Ad runs across the network.
In this example, because Earth Friendly Biz is generic and can be for anyone, I chose 'All Categories'
Geo-Targeting: Target your ads to specific Countries and Languages
In this example, because Earth Friendly Biz is available to anyone, I chose All Countries and Languages. You can target your ad to a specific country and language.
Pay Per Click Rate: $ What is the maximum amount are you willing to pay for each click on your ad? The higher your CPC bid, the more often your ad will be displayed. $0.20 USD minimum.
In this example, as I am testing, I chose the minimum of $0.20.
You can also check the highest click bid in your target category, however ... at .20 your ad will get clicked!
You can preview your ad in real time as you create it. You will see it previewed on the top right hand side of your screen.
Funding your account
Before your ad will be seen in the system, you need to fund your account. You can fund your account using your credit card. The minimum amount you can add to your account is $25.00, I recommend you start with $25 while in the testing phases.
2. Setting Up As A Publisher
Do you have a website or a blog? Nowadays, almost everyone has a blog of some sort. Now you can monetize your site.
In this section, I'll show you how simple it is to setup the code for your blog. In just 5 minutes, you can be earning from the traffic you already have!
Click on Home at the top menu, then click on My Publisher Account
Click on Create a Text Ad
Where is says 'Type in a new domain name below' enter your website or blog address.
ie: In this example, I entered http://janetlegere.blogspot.com; these directions below will show you how to add the AdClickMedia Text Ad Panel to your blog.
Click the Next Step Customize Your Ad Panel.
1. Ad Panel Name: (up to 100 characters) IE: janetlegere.blogspot.com (It lets me know what website my panel is located on).
2. Approved Domain Name of the website that is going to display AdClickMedia Ad Panel:
http://janetlegere.blogspot.com
3. Select your website's categories:
(You may select up to 3 categories for this ad panel.)
For this exercise, I chose All Categories
4. Default Ad: When there are no ads to display in your website category, this default ad will display in your AdClickMedia Panel.
As noted below, if you leave this area blank it will display your AdClickMedia affiliate link. If you want to add your own ad, here is an example for an ad for Earth Friendly Biz:
Default Ad Headline: Creating Income From Home
Default Ad Body: Free System Creates Paying Leads
Default Ad URL http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com
AdClickMedia Affiliate website will be displayed when there are no ads running. You can earn money by referring AdClickMedia to others. If you wish to display your own ad as a default, please edit the ad headline, ad body and URL above.
Next Step: Customize Your Panel
HINT: I recommend you accept the Panel Defaults until you see how the code will look on your site or blog. You can always come back to your Publisher's area and edit your Ad Panel.
Getting the code
Ok, for this part ... you will need to have two browser windows open and copy the code from one site and paste it on another.
First, let's get the code you'll need to add to your website. From the Ad Panel section, scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see the code. Highlight the code: place your mouse inside the text code box and press CTRL A to select all then press CTRL C to copy it into your memory (or you can paste it to a text file).
We now need to open your Blog in another window.
Open another tab in your browser (press CTRL T) and login to your Blogspot account at
http://www.blogspot.com and click on Customize to access the Layout section.
We are going to add an HTML Gadget to the sidebar of your blog, just as you see on my blog.
http://janetlegere.blogspot.com
From the layout menu Select Add A Gadget.
Choose HTML/Java Script
This will open a new window with a Title Box and a Body Box. Leave the title bland place your mouse inside the body box. Press CTRL V to paste the code into the box. Then click Save.
You are all set to earn Paid clicks from visitors to your blog.
IMPORTANT: If you do not yet have you own blog, we show you how to create one here.
http://earthfriendlybiz.com/blog/?page_id=578
I am confident this program will help you advertise your business and I recommend you spend time on the site and use the tutorials in place to master this resource.
This Program Review is designed to help you get setup and started with ACM, if you really want it to work .. you need to learn to master how to use it and maximize the traffic you can generate.
I welcome your comments and experience with AdClickMedia, please use the comments section below this post to post yours.
Have a great day,

Program Review: List Surfing
Janet Legere here with the latest edition of our Program Reviews. Today, I want to talk to you about a new program that is as different as it is effective.
It's called List Surfing and was developed by one of our online partners, Darren Olander.
This program is a credit based list builder and traffic exchange all rolled into one and can work for you as a free member or as an upgraded member. Personally, with a program like this, I always take the upgrade - over time it always pays!
After extensive testing, we decided that List Surfing is a new must have tool and we are adding it to the training and downline builder at Earth Friendly Biz.
So how exactly does List Surfing work?
#1. List Builder
With List Builder, you will earn credits and then earn the ability to send an email to a random sampling of the List Builder membership (which, by the way, is growing rapidly meaning more new faces to see your ad).
You`ll receive emails each day from other List Surfing members and when you click the credit link, you will earn credits for banners, link exchanges, text ads and more. And the credits add up fast.
2. Traffic Exchange
Quick 10 second timer makes surfing List Surfing simple and quick. What I really like is that every member, free and paid, MUST surf at least 50 sites a month and read at least 10 emails to remain active in the system.
That means not only will the free members see your ad, the paid members will too.
At the end of the day, List Surfing offers more traffic with less effort. It`s a program everyone will be using.
Get your free account here then contact everyone you know and tell them about List Surfing.
Once you are registered, you need to get your account setup and activated as soon as possible ... your website will be seen only after you activate your account ... you must surf 50 sites to activate your account.
Login to List Surfing and click on the Surf Now link. With a 10 second timer, it will take approximately 10 minutes to surf 50 sites.
You will add your link to the List Surfing exchange, I recommend you add your Earth Friendly Biz affiliate link http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com/username
You will also be setting up banner ads and text ads, again, we recommend you setup an Earth Friendly Biz Banner like the one below and setup a text ad to entice visitors to your EFB website.
List Surfing from Darren Olander is our pick of the week for online resources and a new MUST HAVE online tool. Add this program to your marketing portfolio today and you will see an increase in activity to your business.
CLICK HERE to join List Surfing Today and watch for notice of the program addition to the EFB downline builder.
Happy Marketing!

Program Review: Traffic Oasis
Yes ... Traffic Oasis.
Traffic Oasis has been around since 2001 and I've been an active member since 2006. I can say from experience that the system works and the leads are responsive ... if you work the system and connect with the leads, if you are consistent in your efforts, then you will see activity from these leads.
It's like anything else ... if you join a program and do nothing ... guess what happens? Nothing happens.
Traffic Oasis is a great lead source (we always need more leads!) and in our Earth Friendly Biz system, I show our members 4 different ways to use their Traffic Oasis leads.
If you follow these methods and adapt them to your own business, you will see similar results.
Traffic Oasis leads are good leads, it's why we added Traffic Oasis as a main program in our Earth Friendly Biz system.
Here are four ideas of ways to use Traffic Oasis leads:
1. Use the Traffic Oasis auto-responder
Direct the Traffic Oasis leads to the Earth Friendly Biz (EFB) website or to your own prospecting system. EFB is a free prospecting system where I teach my simple list building strategies.
I have a series of letters written to direct the Traffic Oasis leads to my Earth Friendly Biz program. If you are with EFB, you'll find the step by step directions in the back office.
You can adapt my method to work with your own system.
2. Import the Traffic Oasis leads to the GDI invite Filler.
GDI (Global Domains International) is a great program that has been around since 1999 and if you are a member of GDI, you can capitalize on the GDI invite section to invite your Traffic Oasis leads directly to GDI.
GDI is one of the main programs inside the Earth Friendly Biz system where we have complete step by step directions to use the GDI Invite process. Basically, you login to your website.ws members area and access the invite section where you can copy and paste 10 names at a time up to 100 a day.
If you ordered the 300 optin leads, you will have 3 days worth of leads to invite.
3. Import the Traffic Oasis leads to your personal auto-responder list.
I show my Earth Friendly Biz members simple steps to upload the Traffic Oasis leads to their EFB auto-responder to create more EFB members.
You can import Traffic Oasis leads to any auto-responder. If you use a professional auto-responder, you can either setup a list for these Traffic Oasis leads or import them directly to a list that you already have setup.
If you are an EFB member, the step by step directions are located in the back office (member's area)
4. Setup another Autoresponder series in Traffic Oasis and direct your leads to Traffic Oasis.
Traffic Oasis is a great program and part of their program includes three autoresponder lists. We showed you how to setp a list for Earth Friendly Biz or any other program and in this section we talk about setting up a second list.
Traffic Oasis offera a series of sales letters designed to attract your leads to Traffic Oasis. This is another way to activate these leads and generate interest ... not to mention you will generate a lot of income when your Traffic Oasis leads decide to join and upgrade in Traffic Oasis.
I recommend doing one activity per week.
Week 1: import your leads directly to the Traffic Oasis auto-responder that you setup for Earth Friendly Biz or your own system.
Week 2: import your leads to your GDI invite system.
Week 3: import your leads to your personal autoresponder account
Week 4: import your leads to the second Traffic Oasis autoresponder to direct them to join Traffic Oasis
In Week 5, your new batch of leads should arrive and you can start the process all over. I recommend that you keep a journal so you know which step you have completed with your leads.
So as you can see, we are really maximizing these leads. Consider this ... some will respond to your Traffic Oasis emails, others will respond to the GDI invite and others will respond to the Earth Friendly Biz or your personal automated messages.
You will be maximizing these leads and creating activity in your Business and in your list!
When you upgrade in Traffic Oasis, you qualify for 25,000 additional Free Traffic Bar Credits. Just contact us for directions.
Not a member yet?
Click here to join: http://www.trafficoasis.com/index.php?133444
Then follow the directions below to upgrade and setup your new Traffic Oasis account.
Upgrade your account.
While it is free to join Traffic Oasis, the benefit comes as an upgraded member. Your upgrade has a lot of benefits to it when used properly. At EFB, our goal is to help you maximize your Traffic Oasis Account.
Your upgrade will cost $69.95 per month. This free brings you fresh leads every month and at EFB we will show you how to manage those leads for maximum response.
You have three choices for monthly leads:
- 300 Optin Leads without Phone numbers (.23 each)
- 125 2-Question Surveyed Leads with Phone numbers (.54 each)
- 30 4-Question Surveyed Leads with Phone & Address (2.33 each)
If you plan to call your leads, choose option 2 or 3. I recommend Option 1 to maximize your list growth.
Reminder: You can cancel your account at any time (doing so will lose all benefits and any downline from the matrix)
To upgrade your account (if you did not upgrade on registration), login to Traffic Oasis http://www.trafficoasis.com/member.php then click the "Upgrade" link at the top right.
You can pay with Paypal or your credit card.
Your leads will take 5 to 30 days to arrive as they are generated after purchase.
Setup your profile
Contact Info: This is where you can edit your password, name, email and phone number. Please make certain this information is correct.
Upline email: You can choose to whether or not to receive email from your upline. I recommend you leave this ON.
Commission Preferences: These were setup when you upgraded. If you need to change your Commission Preferences, you need to contact Traffic Oasis Support
AutoShip Lead Preferences: You can change your lead preferences at any time.
If you make changes to your proflie, you need to make sure you update the changes.
I trust this post will help you create an active list of prospects eager to join your business.
Happy marketing,

Program Review: Lead Gusher
I am really excited about this program from Bram Smith. It is simple and brilliant AND FREE!
Lead Gusher is a "set and forget" program that you simply setup .... and well ... forget. You really have to see it to appreciate how it works.
First, get your free account here
http://www.leadgusher.com/r/sykaro/homepage.html
Here is what the page looks like that you are going to create once you are registered:
http://www.leadgusher.com/r/sykaro/home.html
I listed Earth Friendly Biz (you can list your GDI website instead if you wish).
Now, I followed Bram’s very simple directions and setup the system to promote GDI because I know the search engines are going to pick this up. I know that people will click through the information to Earth Friendly Biz and by coming through our EFB funnel, they will be introduced to my primary business.
I’m building my list using the GDI name!
To signup for your own system free, start here:
http://www.LeadGusher.com/r/sykaro/homepage.html
This page is accessible from the first link but not obvious so I want to make sure you know where to signup to get your own free Lead Gusher.
I expect to see a lot of traffic to EFB using this and I am already seeing Lead Gusher leads every day.
When you setup your account, make sure to watch the Video the Bram has for you, it’s important to see how simple it is to setup.
Here are instructions for setting up the system for GDI and Earth Friendly Biz:
Setup for EFB at Lead Gusher
Setup will remain the same as Bram has in his video with the following changes to add your EFB Website:
Business Name
Global Domains International
First Key Word Phrase
ws+domain+names
GDI Username
YOUR GDI USERNAME
headline
Low-Startup Internet Business
Second Key Word Phrase
how+to+make+money+on+the+internet
Subhead1
Learn How to Make Money On The Internet
subhead2
Build a List, and Create Multiple Streams of Income
Third Key Word Phrase
creating+income+from+homeWebsite URL
http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com/USERNAME
Once setup, that’s it … that’s all you need to do.
You CAN advertise your signup link to your lists, but it’s not necessary … this is truly one of those set and forget things that will continue to bring traffic to your site.
That's all there is to setting it up. You will receive notice of Lead Gusher leads to your email inbox and I recommend adding them to your autoresponder and following up personally to connect with your new Lead Gusher leads.Personally, I am inviting them to Earth Friendly Biz :-)
I hope Lead Gusher brings you as much traffic and leads as it's bringing me.
If you are using Lead Gusher, please leave your comments and let us know how it is working for you.
