Ad Swaps - Increase Internet Traffic 101

Table of Contents

1. What are Ad Swaps?

You promote someone else’s product, and in return, they promote your product. You are simply swapping resources.
This can provide a quick surge of traffic to your offer.
This is usually done by swapping squeeze/landing pages to each others’ subscribers.
This is just a basic JV (Joint Venture) arrangement.

Have a minimum of 100 subscribers on your mailing list before you use this method.
Have a minimum of 50 clicks per email you send out before using this method.

Search for the term “Ad Swaps”.
Also, look under the “Joint Venture” forum, as some people also ask for Ad swaps there.
Do your due diligence, as some people will send you false clicks. Get to know the person first.

Look for Facebook groups of people doing ad swaps, e.g., “Solo Ad Ad Swaps”.
You can look at the posts and see if anyone, in particular, has a good or bad review.

Sellers here advertise how many clicks they can deliver and the cost.
Ad swaps are one of the few paid advertising methods that actually works well.
Start off low with just buying 50 clicks (for around $20), and see how well your response is.
Good for a quick injection of traffic.

Always check out the product of the person you’ll be doing the ad swap first. Make sure you know what you are promoting and that it is high-quality content. Make sure that your product is very good as well.
Test that person’s opt-in process. Do they use double opt-in or single opt-in? It’s better to promote people who use double opt-in. Make sure they’re not using any shady practices. Test your own opt-in process as well.
Consider making a “personalized” page for the other party, and ask them to make a personalized page for you as well. A personalized page tends to convert better.
Try to affiliate your offer. Let your product offer a commission for people who promote your offer.
Make sure you have a confirmation page before you make them an offer. This way, you will be able to have their email address on your autoresponder mailing list, so they are also your subscribers.
If you make any sales, take your buyer off the prospect list. Treat your customers well.

My mentor, John Thornhill, gives Ad Swaps an overall traffic rating of ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It’s a good way to keep driving traffic.
Implementation: ⭐⭐ out of 5. Since it takes a while before you can use this strategy, you’ll first have to build a subscriber list of at least 100 subscribers, know how to create a squeeze/landing page, and create an autoresponder series, etc.
Speed of Results: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Once you get this going, you can get pretty good results.
Work involved: 3 out of 5 stars. The initial setup takes a little while, but once you get it running, there’s not that much extra work involved.
