Frequently Asked
Questions:
Is
MarketMechanic's instant traffic better than that offered at other
traffic sites?
Answer: We think it's better and for several main reasons
1.) Customer support! We have it, they don't. We will do everything we
can, above and beyond what is expected, to help you.
2.) Higher quality traffic than most other services can offer. Real
visitors, targeted by category, and location, actually viewing your website.
3.) Any service that beats our rates is likely sending untargeted
visitors that may not be interested in or even read the language of your
site.
4.) Lower price than most services can offer. We offer
even cheaper traffic "reFills" for return customers and large
orders.
5.) More flexibility and control of your traffic than most places can
offer (see more on this below).
If I don't really understand all of this, will someone be available to help me?
Always! We are ready
to assist you via eMail, live chat, or phone. We can help you with traffic
questions or any other questions you have about marketing your website.
Fast, free, friendly assistance is always available.
I've
just ordered, when will my campaign start?
Your campaign
should
go live within 12 to 48 hours of your order and verification process.
When we receive your order, we will first email you with a request for
additional information that will help us to confirm your order. We may
even call you prior to starting work if there are any indicators of a
fraudulent order. In our industry, we receive a lot of these! However,
this is all done right away and in most cases we can get you started on
the same or next business day. You will
receive an email with log in information.
Is your
traffic unique?
Yes, the traffic that we deliver is at least 24 hour unique. 24 hour unique means
that every visitor we send to your website within a 24 hour period will
be totally unique, no repeat visitors will be counted as traffic.
How
can I make my campaign more effective?
Optimize your site
to make it load quickly and/or design a page that not only loads quickly,
but makes use of things such as special offers, good color schemes,
etc. Anything that may appeal to your target audience at first
glance. Your page needs to immediately, at first glance, engage the
person who has just seen your website. They say you only have one chance to make a first impression...
the same is especially true for this type of website traffic. Websites
that are "catchy" and designed especially to catch a viewers attention
are very successful and order traffic from us over an over again.
How
long will my campaign run?
It depends on the
number of visitors that you order. We
initially set the limit so that your traffic delivers in 30 days or less. We can
fairly consistently deliver orders of up to 500,000 visitors in a 30 day period,
and larger orders upon prior notice. If you plan to order in excess of
500,000 visitors, please talk to us first for bulk pricing discount and
to establish a delivery rate. Please also talk to us for custom campaigns
of any size that require faster or slower delivery than usual. We can meet your needs
and beat any competitors price.
How
can you possibly deliver so many visitors to my site and others?
Answer: First, we have access to not one, not two, not even
three, but four major traffic networks. That is likely 3 more than our
competitors. It has taken us more than a decade in this industry to
establish a group of networks of this magnitude. These are networks of
many hundreds of thousands of websites just like yours, grouped
carefully by content categories, that have agreed to allow us to place
your related ad when their own website is viewed. And, we own two
mid-sized search engines (MidQuest.com & LookEngine.com0 from which we
can deliver traffic when needed. Even with this, we do still
occasionally have shortages when demand for a certain type of visitors
exceeds our supply.
If we foresee a shortage, we will inform you upon ordering that your
traffic may deliver slowly and will ask you to choose a new category or
geo-target, or offer you a full refund.
What
if my server goes down?
In the occurrence
of a server outage, planned down time, or some other problem, you can always
just put your campaign on pause until the problem is fixed. If you place
a large traffic order, please remember that we are sending real visitors
here and many thousands of visitors suddenly reaching your website can
put stress on your server. Be sure that your server can handle it and
know that we are not liable for changes in your site's bandwidth usage.
How
cost effective is this compared to other targeted traffic forms?
Answer: VERY! We all know that search engine traffic is
probably the best quality. But, it's difficult and slow to get as well
as expensive. Lets compare a "pay-per-click
visitor" from Google or Yahoo to your site with one of our targeted visitors to your
site: If you have ever used a pay-per-click method for traffic you will
know that it can be a decent way to get targeted visitors fairly quickly, but you have
to outbid the competition. You basically bid a certain amount, then pay
that amount when someone clicks to your site. Average bids are anywhere
from 10 cents per click, all the way up to several dollars per
visitor! With our service there is no bidding, no listings to
manage, no competition, no worries! Each of our targeted
visitors will cost you Not 10 cents, Not even a penny, but far less than 1/2 of a cent!
How
targeted is your traffic; what categories can I choose from?
Answer: Our traffic is extremely targeted
because it comes from other websites that are very related to your
own. We classify each of the websites in our traffic network into
specific interest areas and then only show your ad on the highly related
sites that are within your chosen interest group (Beauty, Business, Computers, Credit Cards,
Debt Consolidation, Diet, Entertainment, Family, Finance, Free Stuff,
Gambling, Games, Health, Hobbies, MLM, Recreation, Shopping, Sports,
Travel, Webmasters). And, depending on the type of traffic you order, we
may even be able to target more specifically than the categories above.
Whenever possible, a professional marketing staff member will review and
create a more specific target area based on your site content.
How
do you control or count the traffic you send to my website... and
where's the proof if this?
- Or -
I don't see the thousands of referring pages for your visitors in my
website's stats records?
Answer: Visitors are routed
through one of several third party
traffic delivery systems before they ever reach your website. Most web
hosts provide you with site stats or a hit counter... you can see proof
of this in your web site's visitors stats. You will see our traffic
coming from "visit-tracker" , "tserve"
, "trafficserver" or similar, rather than directly from our website or
other websites. This is an outside, third-party, visitor tracking and
filtering system that we use to ensure accuracy. In this way, we can
count every visitor and block visits from people outside of your target
geographic or interest area. And, being tracked by a third party system
eliminates any reason for you to receive false clicks or fake traffic as
they simply have no incentive to cheat you.
Why
does my stats system (URCHIN, WEBALYZER, etc...) show a different amount
of visitors than your stats?
Answer: First, remember that our visitors are filtered,
tracked and monitored by a neutral 3rd party system with no reason to
short you on traffic delivery. Most stats counters are simply and
commonly inaccurate, it's proven, especially in times of high traffic.
Our stats will only register one visitor each time your site is produced
to a visitor by our servers. If that visitor quickly closes your site
before it completely loads, it will likely not register in your stats,
but it will register in ours. For example, there are hundreds of
thousands of users still using dialup or other forms of slow Internet
access. There are probably twice that many users who are simply
impatient! These people, and many others, often leave a website before
it completely loads. Thus, they will not be detected by your site stats.
It has been said that you have 3 seconds to impress a visitor online...
we are not sure about that exact time, but you get the point. If your
site loads slowly, repels visitors in some way, or is simply not as
attractive as needed, people will not stay around long.
Can
I change my category after I've signed up?
Answer: Yes, See control panel features below.
Will
I be able to view stats or control my traffic at all?
Answer: YES. All clients get free live stats
& control panel! When your traffic campaign starts, you will
receive an email with a link to your stats page, a username, and
password to login. You will also be able to use this login area to do
all, or most of the following, depending on your traffic category:
Lots of Control ! :
Check your Website URL to make sure it is correct.
View your Category Type
Change your Category Type (You may have to email us to do this on
certain traffic orders)
Check your Delivered Visits. (Shows how many visitors we have sent you
thus far)
Adjust your Daily Traffic Limit to either Increase or Decrease Traffic
Flow (available on some orders, depending on size, target, etc...)
Enter 0 for Daily Traffic limit or "freeze" to temporarily stop traffic while you change your site,
if website is down, etc...
Change URL any time if you want to direct visitors to
other websites. (You may have to email us to
do this on certain traffic orders)
