Apparently the WholeSale Traffic System is going to be the PPC product launch de jour. And maybe it’s a great product. I don’t know. I haven’t seen the WholeSale Traffic System course and I’m not an affiliate for it.

But I can tell you this with 100% confidence. A lot of what’s in the report their giving away is just dead wrong. So of course that makes me a bit suspect. But there are quite a few gems in it, too, which makes it a must-read for most serious marketers.

Also Ryan Deiss is involved somehow which is a good sign because in the past he’s only put out extremely high-quality products. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen him put out junk or recommend something he didn’t really believe in. I guess what I’m trying to say is that as far as I can tell he’s extremely trustworthy.

But still there are a few parts of the WholeSale Traffic System report that are just plain wrong and there are other parts that are literally giving you "the keys to the kingdom"  but unless you know how to read between the lines you might not see them.

In fact if you’re already an established adwords advertiser you will probably pick up at least one thing from this report that will have a big impact on your bottom line. Actually it’s unlikely that you’d even need to buy the actual course. You’ll probably be able to figure out enough just from reading the report and reading their blog.

OK, let’s get started…

First of all the WholeSale Traffic System report says that long-tail keywords in adwords are dead. Well that is just completely untrue. In fact it’s nonsense. One of my good friends Nikhil Parekh who spends over $6,000/day on Google adwords runs an account with close to a million keywords in it. Do you think there are a few "long-tail keywords" in there? You bet there are (by the way magic words for getting an increased Adwords account size used to be "I’d like to have the hard limits on my account removed". I’m sure if they still work and there’s no guarantee that Google will remove them).

Now, it’s not easy to get Adwords to increase your account size to allow a million words. You have to have a pretty impressive spend history with them. But the fact is non-content network long-tail keywords are not dead.

Which actually brings me to another golden nugget from the WholeSale Traffic System – and that has to do with long-tail keywords on the content network which I’ll have to confess I’ve completely overlooked. You can get some great information about this from their 3rd report.

Maybe what the creator of the WholeSale Traffic System is saying about the word ‘free" is OK. I’m not sure. I’ve made a lot of money with CPA offers using the word free (of course I never sent them to those risky hidden negative option landing pages, though). However, he was pretty specific about not using it to send people to squeeze pages – which is usually correct unless you are using a hybrid squeeze page (which is basically a minisite based around a sales letter and information that is designed to get people to optin to your list).

I will say this though. If you’re using 1ShoppingCart you should definitely read this report. You’re probably screwing up your upsells and there’s some profoundly great information about upsells in the special report from WholeSaleTraffic system.

4 Steps to Making SLO Money is worth a read. Anybody who bought the Multiplier Method course a while back will recognize most of this. Of course the Multiplier Method course went into way more detail, but of course it wasn’ free. I think it was $77.00 when I bought it. But if you didn’t buy the Multiplier Method, download the Wholesale Traffic System report and you will get some terrific information from this section that I can almost guarantee you will make you more money than you are now (even if your mainly an affiliate marketer). 

Actually if you have the Multiplier Method you might want to look at the part about organizing your Adwords account. Most experienced Adwords marketers will already know this, but what’s not mentioned in the report is that organization at the Campaign level is also a factor in how Adwords sees you as an advertiser and despite controversy around it account history does have a major influence on your minimum bids in general.

In fact that section of the report is probably ultimately more important in the long-run when it comes to your minimum bids throughout your account than the section on the quality score. Case in point: I get minimum bids everyday between 10 cents to 15 cents for keywords that are nowhere to be found on the landing pages I send traffic to. And I’m not talking about the odd keyword here or there. I’m talking about tens of thousands of keywords that I get these minimum bids on.

You see I’ve been making my living full-time with Adwords for the past 4 years and have established quite a nice account history so apparently they "trust" me as an advertiser. I tested this out on a couple occasions, too by replicating the campaigns in someone elses account and they typically got minimum bids of a $1.00 or more for the exact same keywords going to the exact same ads going to the exact same landing pages.

In fact this is why I’ve always recommend people start with the Campaign Blasts Method. It uses principles that will help you establish a great account histroy as an adwords advertiser.

I’m also a bit surprised that none of my friends have mentioned the report. I’m in the loop with many of the bigger PPC players and nobody’s talked about it at all. Usually when something noteworthy comes out regarding PPC I get a nice earful from them.

Anyhow, as much as I disagree with some of what’s in the report I’d say it’s still a must read if your serious about PPC.

You can grab the free report here. That will bypass the squeeze page. If you want to see the video click and optin to get the report click here to watch the Wholesale Traffic System video.

There’s a second report from the Wholesale Traffic called Product Splintering which basically just goes into a tad more detail of part of first report. It’s pretty much skippable, but you can read it in 5 minutes, so you might as well get it.

You can grab their Thought Stringing report here. They put a value of $47.00 on the report, but for some of us it’s going to be worth much more.
