Over 61 Paid Traffic Sources To Buy (Real) Targeted Website Traffic

by MAHESH MOHAN on August 28, 2018

The Best Of The Best Paid Traffic Sources

First Published: March 29, 2016; Last Updated: Tuesday, August 28, 2018.

There are plenty of paid traffic sources on the web from where you can buy targeted traffic to your website. The best thing about online advertising (unlike television, radio, print, etc.) is that it’s totally accountable and you get to know the exact returns of every single dollar that you are spending.

Online advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry and the digital ad spending in the U.S. is all set to surpass television ad spending. Paid advertising on search engines and social media accounts for over 50% of the total ad spend (dominated by Google, Microsoft, and Facebook).

The good thing about online advertising is that it’s super easy to kick-start an ad campaign and it could attract a lot of targeted traffic in the shortest span of time. But the bad thing is that it may be effective only in the short-term because when you stop your ad campaigns the traffic may pause.

However, online advertising is extremely flexible and efficient (in terms of ad targeting, spending, and tracking) and it basically means that if you have a solid marketing strategy then your online ad campaigns can bring in higher return on investment for the short-term as well as for the long-term.

As I have already mentioned, majority of the ad spend happens on paid search because of the superior traffic quality (and hence the performance). Also, you can reach 96% of the U.S. searchers by signing up as an advertiser on Google.com (via Google AdWords) and Bing.com (via Bing Ads).

Over the past several years, I have published a dozen blog posts about website monetization and it was all about selling ads on your website and rarely about ad spending. Actually, I’m a lover of organic traffic (or search traffic). But it’s also true that it takes a lot of time to get some traction that way.

So if you start a new business and want to tap the online advertising space then the best way is buy paid traffic on different traffic sources like search engines, social networks, display ads, video ads, etc. Here is a curated list of some of the best paid traffic sources on the web — categorized and subcategorized.

Free PPC Ad Credits Worth Over $1000 — Bing Ads Coupon 2018, Apple Search Ads $100 Credit & More

Free Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising Credits

First Published: March 11, 2008; Saturday, August 12, 2017.

When you make yourself very visible to your target customers you make it easy for them to choose you. Pay-per-click advertising is one of the most popular advertising model on the web that’s effective for all businesses (big or small).

It lets you attract instant targeted traffic to your website and unlike traditional advertising, you pay only when someone actually ‘clicks’ on your ad and ‘visits’ your website.

Some of the most popular pay-per-click advertising networks are Google AdWords, Bing Ads (formerly Microsoft adCenter and MSN adCenter), Facebook Ads, Yahoo Search Marketing (now known as Yahoo Gemini), and Amazon Advertising.

What’s more? It takes just few minutes to setup your first campaign and is super-easy to track the performance of your campaigns. And the best thing about per-per-click advertising is that there’s no minimum spending required, you can start, pause, or stop your ad campaign at any time.

For instance, you can set a daily budget of $5 and maximum cost per click (CPC) of 5 cents. So you pay only when someone clicks on your ad. It’s that simple!

Free PPC Advertising Credits (Quality > Quantity)

Almost all the popular ad networks (Google AdWords, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads, Amazon,Yahoo, etc.) offer free advertising credits to new advertisers so that they can kick-start the first pay-per-click ad campaign, risk-free.

So here is a list of the most popular (and best) ad networks that offer a free credit (either as a bonus or as a coupon code or free trial) to new advertisers. Kick-start your first PPC campaign today!

Warning: Does the landing page appear broken? Disable your ad blocker as it can block the website content (like captcha, coupon code, images, etc.) of the following advertising networks.

Bing now powers almost one-third of U.S. desktop web searches and it’s attracting a monthly searches of over 15 billion across the globe. Plus, it connects you with over 60 million searchers who do not use Google.

The best thing about Bing Ads is that its traffic quality is better than that of Google and yet the cost per click is low. It means your return on investment on Bing Ads could be higher than that of Google AdWords (though the traffic volume can’t be matched in any way).

Bing Ads coupon code for the U.S. is $100, for Canada it’s $50, for U.K. it’s £50, for Germany, France, Italy and Spain it’s €50, for India it’s Rs. 1,000, for New Zealand it’s $50 NZD, for Australia it’s $50 AUD, for Brazil it’s R$120, and for Mexico it’s MXN 670.

Free PPC Advertising Credits (Quantity > Quality)

As you probably know, there are many paid traffic sources on the web from where you can buy targeted traffic to your website. The best thing about online advertising (unlike television, radio, print, etc.) is that it’s totally accountable and you get to know the exact returns of every single dollar that you are spending.

A huge chunk of the online ad spend actually happens on paid search ads (or rather search engine marketing) because of the superior traffic quality (and hence the performance). You can reach 96% of the U.S. searchers by signing up as an advertiser on Google.com (via Google AdWords) and Bing.com (via Bing Ads).

Because Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Ask.com, and AOL have a combined market share of over 95% in the U.S. search market and they account for almost 99% of the U.S. search ad spend.

However, the problem with the big networks is the increasing advertising costs (or Cost Per Click) and reducing return on investment. Here is a list of pay-per-click ad networks that lets you buy low-cost pay-per-click ads. The traffic quality of the following networks are on the lower side but the bid prices are extremely low.

If all you need is more visibility then it’s worth to try all of them (provided you have enough budget for online ad spending). The idea is to track the results of your individual ad campaigns so that you will be able to scale up/down your ad spend based on what’s working and what’s not.

Perfect Audience Review: Kickstart Your First Retargeting Campaign In 5 Steps

by MAHESH MOHAN on November 17, 2014

You visit a shopping website and soon its ads are everywhere you go — on your favorite blog, on news portal, and even on your Facebook. No, it isn’t magic. They’re all retargeted ads. Today, retargeted ads are so popular that it’s everywhere on the web — on Facebook, on Twitter, and even on your favorite blogs and websites.

Retargeting: What Is It? And Why Retarget?

Retargeting (also known as Remarketing) is a form of online advertising in which you’re targeting users who previously visited your website (but is visiting other websites), and left without taking an action.

Why should you retarget users? The reason is… less than 5% of the first time visitors convert to customers. If you have an e-Commerce website and you used a pay-per-click campaign to attract targeted users, then it’s more likely that they will leave your website without buying or signing up.

The bounced visitors may come back to your website once again or maybe they won’t. So you can target those users once again by showing retargeted ads and that makes it easier for them to find you. [Read more…] about Perfect Audience Review: Kickstart Your First Retargeting Campaign In 5 Steps

ABOUT MAHESH (@maheshone)

Hey there, I’m Mahesh (@maheshone). I started learning and doing and experimenting web 2.0 stuff back in 2004 and eventually became a full-time computer nerd after graduation.

I write about tech, marketing, and everything in between that excites me. And I love to work with small businesses to help them get the most out of the web. Outside of that, I'm equally passionate about the financial markets and I also spend a lot of time doing random things (see random facts about me). Say hi: @maheshone. Read More »
