This review got a little longer than I wanted it to be but you should read it all since I will be revealing some stuff that you cannot read on the official sales page.
You may have heard all this hype around Traffic Geyser.
Now, you should know that I cam very sceptical when I hear things like
"generate traffic" or "automatically does bla bla" or "with a push of a button"
These typical internet mareting phrases usually triger my "marketing alarms"
Everyone promises you to fully automate stuff, and get you traffic without you
lifting a finger.
Since I know a couple of people who actually tried out Traffic Geyser and told me
that it actually works for them I tried to give it a shot myself and took their
1$ Trial Offer where I was able to get access to all the toools inside Traffic Geyser.
(no free trial avilable - but I thought $1 was ok :-)
And since they tell on their website that you should see results in 24 hours I thought
a trial period of 1 week is more than enough to find out if this one is anothetr piece of BS
like most marketing tools.!
So what is this all about?
Let's face it:
Every website needs
- ranking
- traffic
- qualified leads
- customers
What usually separates our products from the customer - is distribution.
It is all about getting your message out so that search engines find it and rank you.
The secret to distribution is..............
sending your message to as many video sites, social media sites, social bookmarking sites
social networking sites, podcasting sites and podcasting directories as possible.
If done properly you dominate search engine listings when people search for your keywords products and service.
If you put your content on all these sites you are virtually guaranteed to dominate your keyword phrases in the search engine listigs.
If you have a great message and a great offer - you can in fact own your niche!
Now here comes the problem:
**** TIME ****
Manually submitting your content to the most popular video sites, social bookmarking, social media and podcast sites
then blogs and then cross-promoting all these sites can take days or even weeks of your time.
Even when you have a team of outsourcers working for you it takes long - and often it doesn't get done the right way (believe me I have tried it).
Yes, I know there are other social distribution products out there like Brute Force SEO or SE Nuke. I had tried these before but couldn't get them to work properly without doing alot of stuff manually.
Here is where Traffic Geyser comes in: It actually seems to automates the entire process!!!
This is Traffic Geyser in a nutshell:
- First you upload your video to their membership area (you only need to upload it once)
- You fill out a form with keywords you want to rank for
- Then Traffic Geyser distributes and syndicates your content to all the popular social media sites in minutes
- It will then cross promote all of them with several link building strategies
so you will repidly dominate the search engines.
Often you can see results after minutes (I know this sounds crazy - but I have tested it!)
You will usually experience keyword domination after a couple of days or weeks.
(To be fair: 'Keyword domination' can be achieved depending on the competitevenes of the keyword - I usually go for several long tail keywords instead of very competitive ones.)
This all is true even of you have no previous video or marketing experience.
I know what you think. Let me make this really clear: This is NOT one of those "submitters" that you can buy everywhere. It is complete and fully automated video generation, distribution and promotion system.
What I really like about it is that often you achieve multiple Top 10 rankings in Google for keywords
where you would have been happy to just get one listing somewhere in the top 10!
Since your content will be on hundreds of high traffic authority sites - it is not unusual
to find that you dominate position #1, #3, #5 ,#9 and #10 on the first page of Google.
It comes to a point where no matter how hard a user tries - there will be no way around you in the niche you are targeting.
Features vs. Benefits
I am always the guy who wants to know exactly how things work - but unfortunately product vendors don't tell you this stuff on sales pages. Instead they keep telling you about the BENEFITS (like they leanred from all the marketuing gurus) but never tell you about the actual features. With most Internet marketing products when you click the Buy button (today most likely an 'add to cart button') you never know what it really is that you are buying. Is it a membership site, a software you need to install on your PC, an ebook? Often you don't know.
So this is why I joined TG to find out if and how it really works.
So here is the stuff that you get when you join TG:
Video creation system
They make it really easy for you to create a marketing video if you don't have one.
You can just upload a picture of you (or anything or anyone else) and then call a tollfree number (Yes, they give you a toll free number to call!) and then leave your message there.
Then Traffic Geyer will create the video for you!
So basically if you are able to leave a message on an answering machine or mailbox you can make a video with Traffic Geyser!
I don't know of any other service that let's you do that - if you do let me know.
You can also use their slideshow creator in case you just have a bunch of pictures and want to make a video out of it.
Video distribution system
This is what TG is famous for . But it is only part of the entire system where everything works together. This module will automatically submit your video to the most popular video submission sites (I guess it currently supports 33 of them)
Video promotion system
This will build links to your videos automatically through social bookmarking and blogs. More about this feature later...
Video Lead Page builder
With the video lead page builder you can build a professional, optimized web page in less than 5 minutes that captures customer information, and then automatically follows up with your customers and notifies you when you have a new lead. (I didn't need this one but for people starting out it comes in handy.)
Video Tracking Tool
This tool lets you track how your videos are performing in the video sites / search engines.
Submission Templates
Saves you lots of time when you want to reuse data you had entered previously.
You can upload a similar video in less than a minute.
Automatic Podcasting Engine
This tool automatically converts your video into a podcast and submit it to podcasting sites and directories
without you even thinking about it.
Royalty Free Music
This gives your videos some cool background music without any additional cost! Videos with background music have a much more professional appearance and I found that people tend to watch longer and click on the promoted link more often when the video as some cool music.
Free Graphic Resources
Use this to spice up your video even further.
Training Videos
Walking you through every single step of them system.

How exactly does Traffic Geyser work?
Traffic Geyser takes your video (or creates a video for you)
It takes your keyword rich description and URL
It submits it to as many video sites as possible (always with respect to the proper category - so your submissions won't look spammy). Usually these will be around 33 video sites that TG will submit to. This of course also depends on the niche and the selected categories.
Now comes the really cool thing where all other so called submitters miss out:
They take the URLs of the videos they just uploaded for you an then promote these new URLs by building links to them!!!
They do this through automatically posting links to these videos on about half a dozen blogs. Then the URLs of the videos are submitted to 10-15 social bookmarking sites!
Then they convert the video to a pod cast feed
This podcast then is automatically submited to podcast directories.
So for you SEO-freaks out there: This means TG creates an enire mini-net out of only 1 single video!!
Now you probabaly understand why I earlier said that TG does this better than any hired employee or outsourcer could do this.
Try to explain all this to an outsourcer and then try to check if they have done it correctly. Trust me - I rather have the software do this then let one of my outsourcers do it.
You will prefer just pushing one button and then let traffic geyser do all this work for you and then
be confident that it gets done the right way!
.
Is Traffic Geyser hard to learn?
No, there are tons of training videos that walk you through each tool and strategy step by step.
However, when I tried it I didn't even need the videos because the interface was so easy and intuitive.
I was able to set up my first campaign in only 20 minutes after joining Traffic Geyser and receive the first
additional traffic (clearly coming from my Traffic Geyser campaigns) in a little under 48 hours! I thought this was really cool!
There were certain situations where I had some questions. Fortunately they have a superb customer suport customer forum and even 1 on 1 training that will remove any obstacles you might have.
What I like about their video submission strategy is that this works super fast. Unlike article marketing and conventional link building where you need to wait for months to see results - oftren years. The content syndicated by TG normally gets picked up by the seacrh engines and indexed in only 1 hour!
My personal tips for getting the most out of traffic geyser
- Do some decent keyword research first (no - traffic geyser won't do that for you)
- Come up with some nice long tail keywords.
- Then have Traffic Geyser create a video (make sure it is not longer than 10 minutes or some video sites will reject it)
- Save the video in different sizes with different names (this way you can submit it multiples times without it being a duplicate video)
- Make a keyword loaded description
- Make your that your URL (the web page you want to promote) shows up in the descripton rather early. (This is because some sites will truncate description that get too long - and you don't want your URL to be cut off)
- Use the automatic submission and promotion feature (no action required in your side)
- Use it for several long-tail keywords
- Check your SE rankings after 10 mintes, 5 hours, 24 hours and 3 days. This is when you will have maximum exposure.
Sidenote
Here is a cool way how you can make money with traffic geyser other than promoting your own sites. You can use your membershoip to submit videos for other people and charge them on a submission basis. I know of a guy who does this and makes a small fortune doing it.
You don't even have to do it yourself. You can give traffic geyser to your outsourcing guy, create a small website where all submission request details automatically get sent to your outsourcer! You will pay your outsourcer and your membership to traffic geyser but make much more money from the people your guy is submitting videos for!! Just an idea you might want to consider.
Bottom line
Traffic Geyser is one of the very few membership sites that I am still with and that I still use.
If you sell a product or have an affiliate website you should definitely give it a try.
I know many people by now who have tried out Traffic Geyser and not one of them didn't experience a huge surge in traffic to their websites.
This is a why I give Traffic Geyser my Officiel 'Sceptic Guy Recommendation'
