Edition #98 – 11/29/2006
Today the Traffic Geyser was released by Frank Sousa, Mike Koenigs, and Rocket Helstrom.
My friend Joel Comm has been beta testing the system for the past few weeks and has been raving about it, so I figured I better check it out and let you know if it’s the real deal or not.
The concept is simple. It automates the process of submitting videos to free video hosting sites (like Youtube and many others).
The intended result is that your video on those sites will obtain high search engine results rankings for your targeted keywords (typically the title of the video).
It is interesting to note that this system is somewhat similar in nature to other automated advertising programs like the one that I criticized in my last newsletter. I predict that we will see a huge increase in video spam over the next year, and video hosting sites will have to implement new measures to help combat it.
I do think that this is different though, as it does not pose as much of an imminent threat to online small businesses, and there is much less potential for abuse due to the fact that it requires making a video rather than just blasting off an advertisement. I would say I am comfortable with using this technique as a white hat traffic generation system.
In their tests, the Traffic Geyser creators were able to achieve some very impressive results… basically grabbing top 10 spots on Google within 24 hours of using the Traffic Geyser system. And in his test, Joel Comm was even able to get ALL 10 of the front page results on Google!
With the evidence they’ve shown, I think we can pretty well take their word for it, but I’d like to take it one step further and put it to the test myself.
Earlier today Mike Filsaime sent out a newsletter explaining what he believes are the two absolute most important skills in internet marketing: traffic, and conversion.
Without traffic, conversion doesn’t matter…so you need traffic.
As you will see from my tests, this tool isn’t the “magic bullet” that will end the quest for traffic, but it is a very useful tool to add to your traffic arsenal…
PART 1 OF TEST:
(Video no longer available)
PART 2 OF TEST (After 48 Hours):
As you will see, my video did not achieve any top 10 rankings on Google within the first 48 hours. However, I did achieve a top 20 ranking on Google, and the video is #1 on Google Video for my targeted keyword.
(Video no longer available)
I think I underestimated the competitiveness of this keyword, but also I think we need to give it some more time because most of the video sites I submitted to via Traffic Geyser do not even have my video indexed by Google yet.
So let’s give it a little more time, and in while we’re waiting, I’ll do another test with a less competitive keyword…
PART 3 OF TEST (After 7 Days):
(Video no longer available)
In this final video you will see that I still didn’t achieve a top 10 listing for the keyword. However, I did achieve a top 5 listing for the keyword in quotation marks.
Additionally, you will see that I did a test with a less competitive keyword. For that test, I achieved the top two spots on Google. For that keyword in quotes, I achieved all ten spots on the front page of Google.
In summary, these were the results:
competitive keyword (no quotes): No top 10 listing.
competitive keyword (with quotes): #5 on Google
non-competitive keyword (no quotes): #1 and #2 on Google
non-competitive keyword (with quotes): Every top 10 listing on Google (entire front page)
In conclusion, I say that this is a great strategy for capturing less competitive keywords. In the long tail of virtually any niche you will find an keywords that have not been fully tapped into. This technique allows you to grab the top listings for sucn keywords almost overnight.

As always, you can leave your comments here in the blog.
Have a great day!
Eric, I will be very interested in seeing your results. I too uploaded videos following Traffic Geyser’s instructions. I uploaded to roughly 10 sites . Yahoo for some reason would not let me. Sure enoug within 36 hours I had usually a top 8 ranking! Some even the top spot for my selected keywords. However, today for whatever reason, I have all but dissappeared from search results. Hopefully you will have even better results and can pass on your experience to us all.

Excellent idea to show the test live in this way. I’ve been only mildly interested in this software, but you’ve really caught my attention with this. Very curious to see how it does.
Earlier today my friend Mike Filsaime sent out a newsletter explaining what he believes are the two absolute most important skills in internet marketing: traffic, and conversion.
Without traffic, conversion doesn’t matter…so you need traffic.
I think that he got it wrong Eric… because without conversions traffic doesn’t matter. You can have 10,000 visitors, but if you don’t make a sale, you lose.
The MOST important shill is being able to convert… period.
ANYONE can get traffic, it’s just a matter of how much money you you’re willing to spend, but not anyone can convert that traffic to sales… being able to convert is the single most important skill you need to develop.
Mike Filsame is no different to you or any other member of the SEO/ Internet Marketing incest club… he says what suits him, not what is neccessarily factual.
Hi Eric!
Thanks again for a great video! Even for a norwegian like me it is easy to follow along 🙂
While I was looking at your “test”, all kinds of new ideas came to my mind…if this program
really works, we definitly have a winner!
Do you think a video with poor english from a norwegain would work for this? hehe.
Anyway, looking forward to your test results!
Keep up the good work Eric!
Best Regards
Joern Lillehagen
It’s awesome, I am waiting for the part 2 of your test. I was just saying to one of my brothers that the Video is the future of Internet. In fact, Internet will become a big TV.
Hi Eric,
Great Post and Vid- I look forward to your “test” results myself.
I think that the real opportunity here is to get “First Mover” advantage before the rise of the video spam issue, as I think that your “video spam” prediction is spot on.
Hi Eric; you all have a good team proud that is wonderful. keep up the good work. thanks for thinking of me.
Hey Eric,
Traffic Geyser looks awesome! It should make a huge impact on a lot of businesses. I’m actually going to have our web team put together a proposal on how we could utilize a tool like this on WorkingMom.com.
To help you in tweaking a pitch for working moms, I’ll outline why hesitated:
1. I thought to myself, “For a video, I’ll need to set aside time to get my hair done, makeup, record it, etc.” (Not a deal-breaker or anything, just my initial objection.)
2. Then came the epiphany,”Ah-ha! I can just do an audio file with tutorial, -sort of like Eric did.”
3. So I looked at my schedule for December…eager to get started. But like most most working moms, I’m already squeezing a month’s worth of regular work into two weeks, (since the kids will be out of school.) And being a dutiful wife, mom, daughter, sister, cousin and friend, I realized I haven’t even figured out how I’l make the time to put up Christmas decorations, buy gifts, grocery shop, cook and coordinate with multiple families, while doing my level best to get my professional work completed before the Christmas break.
Consequently, the “Standing room only” part of the pitch had the effect of making it clear that “now” shouldn’t be the time to take on ANY additional projects -no matter how promising it might be. I will confess, the “act now” part of the pitch ALMOST got me to join -just for the sake of reserving a spot; however, years ago I set a policy not to buy and store anything I don’t intend to use immediately. That general policy has saved me mental, physical and virtual clutter. In fact, I hardly ever lament over the missed opportunities I’ve passed up on once in a lifetime deals. (But think Starbucks at $9 bucks per share and and selling Pfizer at $150!…ohh…Woulda, coulda, shouda…but that’s another story)
Anyway, that’s how it went down for me. I’ll be watching for your success…
It really does sound like a tremendous product and tool, and I’m certainly eager to try it.
-Sabrina O
Russell- well you need both. To make sales you can’t have one without the other, which is basically what Mike said in his newsletter. The reason I said what I said is because I’m looking at it like: which comes first, the chicken or the egg? You need the traffic first before you can make a sale. But in order of priority, I can see your perspective too. I would agree that you should create a good converting sales page before even sending traffic to it. But then again, you need traffic to know if it’s converting… but then again…
BTW- you need to get over the “incest club” viewpoint… Yeah a lot of marketers work together, but that’s called networking and it’s a smart way of doing business. You should visit Mike’s blog and you will see I was the first person to post a comment to his newsletter, and I DISAGREED with part of it! Likewise, I posted a comment on Michael Cheney’s IM Country Club blog a couple days ago reiterating that you don’t have to be a part of the Internet Marketing clique to be a successful internet marketer. I’m IN the club, and I don’t even know many of the other marketers in it.
What I think is that most people who whine about the “incest” of internet marketers would jump at the chance to be a part of the “inner circle”. Which means they’re just mad that they’re not in the group and making lots of money.
It’s a weak mentality… you should either:
A) Stop worrying about what others are doing and do something to make yourself a success.
OR
B) Join us. Go to some seminars and work your butt off, and become friends with the gurus.
Like I’ve said, you DON’T have to be friends with the gurus to be a successful internet marketer, but if that’s your dream, then just do it. The club is always accepting new members 😉
hi Eric,
Your blog is great,I really liked it.
Thanks

hello!
i am khalid
your blog is goot really i like it ‘ merci’.
Hi Eric new to this blog, found by my affiliate site bestcaturinecleaner (very sad marketing vet 😉 ). Great idea and will await the results with interest. Must give this a try!!
Thomas
What kind of town allows crucifices, but no menorah, in its public square?
Heheheee… Eric, 80% of my post was about your topic (traffic and converting traffic) and 20% was a criticism of Internet Marketers, while 80% of your answer was about Internet Marketers and 20% was about my reponce to your post.
Don’t be so sensitive, it’s not becoming… and I do VERY well without being in the IM Guru Cliche, thanks.
I use my skills to attract million dollar clients in my niche, and that gets me $20K+ commissions per client per month… I’ve found 3 such clients this last 4 weeks.
Well Eric,
I do appreciate that you do go to a lot of effort to keep reader happy, for that, Thank you.
Traffic Geyser Review: I read all that you had to say, however when it came to seeing that what you had to say, this was a different situation. Whether it is you or whether it is my system I have no way of knowing because there is no picture on all 3 videos.
As I’m not ready to move into this stage of selling on the net it is something that will have to wait for an other Christmas.
A thought has just crossed my mind, and that is if knowledge/know-how on the net is like a triangle i.e. there are more at the bottom than at the top wouldn’t make sense to cater for that bracket. Because there are more isn’t that a good enough reason?
Colin- I think I understand what you’re saying… and yeah I do want to cater largely to the beginners in builkding a solid base at the bottom of the triangle. But I also want to serve the more experienced marketers who can benefit from my experience. That might not be the best strategy from a business standpoint (its usually better to focus in on a tight target market), but I’m gonna do my best to be helpful to as many people as possible.
Hi Eric – totally appreciate the testing review… great reading and well done.
I can’t help but see the parallel in this program to early Search Engine submission tools that eventually suffered from abuse and mis-use… and the unavoidable “banning’ of sorts by the various engines.
If Joel Comm was able to grab all top 10 spots on a Google page, how long do you think Google will stand by and wait while their search results are once again compromised by another submission tool?
All credit to you for touching on the subject in your review. As in the past, we’ll have to let this play out to see Google’s reaction, as well as Yahoo, MSN etc.
I left the first reply, but it has not shown up.
Hi Eric thanks for all the work and interesting result, as usual Google will be aware but good videos adding benefit will work the rest will not. Also a question, how long do you keep the top position for 😉
Thomas
I also forgot to say Eric how well do you think you would have ranked just on Youtube only or say 3 other sites, compared to the 15 or so in Traffice Geyser, what is the magic number of sites and do you have to do 15 ;-))
Paul
All I can say Eric is, Response! Someone somewhere NEEDS to reply to an email, contact, etc. You have never replied, Joel has never replied, Mike Filsaime has never replied, Kenneth McArthur has never replied, and the list goes on and on! If you care about your “LIST”, YOU MUST REPLY TO THEM ALL! If not, you will lose them! Keep the sugar off and go back to the hard core promoting! Honesty is what we need and not melt the icing over the top!!!
Walter- not sure what you mean… I know every ticket in my helpdesk gets replied to. If you haven’t received it, I suggest making sure you open a helpdesk account first so you can log back in and see the reply in case it doesn’t reach your inbox. I know all Joel’s tickets get answered because I have a personal login to his helpdesk and it gets cleared almost daily. One thing you have to understand is that it is not possible for all of us marketers to reply personally to every email or ticket. It’s simply not possible becase we are humans with limited time and thousands of customers. You wouldn’t expect Bill Gates to personally reply to every support request for the Microsoft company. Nevertheless some marketers have done a much better job than others at hiring support staff, etc. There is no excuse for not getting a reply from a helpdesk staff, but I think it is unreasonable to expect a personalized reply from every marketer.
Eric; not for sure how to start to write on what do I write on so it will get to you. need info.
Eric; you do good work keep up doing a Awsome job . like your letters that you send out thanks you are good people . looks like you have a lot of people doing this. good job.
Eric,
I’ve been sending video emails, placing video on my website, talking ‘face to face’, and doing ‘live video broadcasting’ for almost 3 years now. It’s about time the rest of the world catches on! VIDEO is the future!
With that said… Traffic Geyser is way over price! Give it time, other programmers with come out with a software that will do the same thing, with unlimited video uploads, for a one time cost of less than $100 bucks.

First off, thanks for the quality review, Eric. I’m glad to see you have experienced the same success with Traffic Geyser we and many of our customers have.
I thought I’d address a few concerns and comments several posters have provided here. Perhaps Frank Sousa or Rocket Helstrom may do the same.
Here’s what I thought I’d share with you:
– A Brief History of Traffic Geyser
– Why Traffic Geyser Works So Well
– Video Spam
– Persistence
– The Challenge: Creating Lots of Videos
– Time Savings vs. Pricing
I’ll keep this short, sweet and give you content without a bunch of marketing babble, I promise.
A Brief History of Traffic Geyser
As a video producer and internet marketer, I found I spent a tremendous amount of time uploading videos to the top free video hosting services once I learned how well videos got indexed and appeared in organic search engine listings (24-48 hours!).
Uploading a single 25-100 MB video to Google Video, YouTube, iFilm, MySpace and 5-10 more could take an entire day and make doing other work on my broadband connection nearly impossible.
To save time, I trained my two assistants to upload videos. They’re both salaried employees, so the $$ added up quickly and of course they didn’t get anything else done. The SEO benefits were awesome, but it became abundantly clear after a couple weeks of this that something had to be done.
A couple conversations and research projects later, the concept behind Traffic Geyser was born. It wasn’t going to be practical to create a “desktop upload” utility to send videos to 15-30 services daily (even with a fast broadband connection, you couldn’t upload 1-3 gigs worth of data reliability).
There were dozens of other technical issues to deal with that I won’t bore you with here.
In any event, it was obvious Traffic Geyser would be a bigger project to tackle if it was going to be created – and it wasn’t practical to make it a “personal pet project” alone. It needed to be a real service.
First, Why It Works:
Simple answer. Keyword-rich content.
How is that possible with video?
Easy: you upload your video with a keyword-rich title, description and link back to your site. The search engine spiders find the content and it shows up in organic listings quickly.
Joel Comm reported results in as little as an hour. So have we. Normally, you see the results in 24-48 hours.
Why so quickly?
As of today, according to Alexa.com:
– MySpace.com is the 5th most popular site online
– YouTube.com is #6
– CNN.com is #36
– New York Times is #103
Aside from the search engines themselves, the free videos sites are the most popular web sites on the Internet today. They get crawled constantly. And your “articles” (video) often don’t go through a long approval process.
If you could upload an article to the top news sites like CNN.com and NYTimes.com and have them automatically approve your articles, would you like that?
That’s essentially what happens when you upload a keyword-rich video listing to one of the more than 300 free video hosting sites online. Not all of them matter, of course.
The top ones are Google Video, YouTube, MySpace and around 27 more.
Think about it: Because the video sites are so popular, Google, Yahoo and MSN treat video content as relevant and desirable.
Which means this “content” is going to show up quickly (usually 24-48 hours after being submitted) and high in the results.
If you submit keyword-rich content to 30 free video hosting services, you’re going to get indexed quickly AND be relevant.
You’ll also benefit from lots of quality backlinks to your web site…
Who wouldn’t like the most popular sites linking back to you?
There are two problems with this strategy, however: Spam and persistence, i.e., how long you remain popular.
I’ll cover those next.
Video Spam
Lets’ face it. It’s only a matter of time before LOTS of video spam shows up. Google, MSN and Yahoo are going to deal with this sooner or later. The “system” will be abused because it works so well.
Remember the old SEO days when you could submit a keyword-loaded page and get in the top 10 listings in a night? Remember the early days of blog spamming? How about article directories? Redirects? Article spinning?
In the end, good content wins. It always does. Some junk gets through, that’s just the way it is.
Obviously this is a challenge we’re well aware of and one of the ways we chose to combat this was to have clear terms of service established that strongly discourage the use of Traffic Geyser to submit spam videos.
There’s another reason why it’ll take a while before you see a LOT of video spam – it’s covered after “persistence”.
Persistence
If you’re lucky enough to ever get a Top #1 listing in Google, you’re either doing something right or something “naughty”. If you manage to keep a top listing for an extended period of time, you’re doing something right.
Keeping a top listing is a constant source of pain for any online marketer. It’s nearly impossible to keep a top listing for an extended period of time with competitive keywords.
The solutions:
• Great content
• Lots of backlinks
• Constant content updates
There are plenty more, but these are the “obvious” ones.
Using keyword-loaded video submissions to generate traffic is a fast way to get quick results. Staying on top requires that you continue to submit good content.
Submitting lots of quality content is the next solution (and challenge). I’ll cover that next.
The Challenge: Creating Lots of Videos
I promised I wouldn’t give you a bunch of marketing chatter. I do want to address one of the big issues many people have. It’s the “complexity” of making a video.
Here’s how we feel we’ve addressed that challenge:
Many first-timers are overwhelmed and intimidated about the prospect of creating a video (or a bunch of them). Buying equipment, learning new software, hosting, fear of being on camera, etc. are all legitimate concerns.
Rocket and I created the Infomercial Toolkit to help people get past these technical and psychological challenges and fears. We’ve taught thousands of people how to sell with video. But that still doesn’t get a bunch of other folks “past the video hump”.
What if you could convert audio files, conversation, teleseminars into videos quickly an easily without learning any software?
Imagine the time it would save.
You’d get the same results, without any of the learning curve involved. Everyone knows how to talk, right?
In Traffic Geyser, we created a “video slideshow maker”. Upload an audio file, create a slide, upload a graphic, click a button and the system creates a video file that’s ready to submit to 30 search engines in a minute or two.
Of course you can do this with Windows Photo Story, Windows Movie Maker, iPhoto or dozens of other free or cheap software programs, but why go through the pain?
Anyone can plug a $10 microphone in their computer, chat for 1-10 minutes, upload the file and make a video.
Time Savings vs. Pricing
I’ll address the time saving issue first.
Anyone who’s uploaded a video to Google Video, YouTube.com or any of the others knows it’s tedious and can be time-consuming if you want to upload to several services.
Here are the steps:
1. Create a video
2. Upload your file
3. Enter title, description, tag, category, etc. information
4. Wait for your submission to show up in the service
5. Wait for your video to show up in the organic listings
Steps 1-3 usually takes between 5-30 minutes depending on the speed of your connection. And while you’re uploading video, your connection speed for uploading, browsing or doing “real work” is dramatically slower, even with a fast broadband connection.
How long might it take to submit that same video to 30 services for optimum results?
About a day. No kidding. Unless you’re watching the upload process like a hawk and doing nothing else (no distractions, phone calls, meetings, etc.), it can take days…even a week!
Think if it like this: 10 minutes per upload * 30 services = 300 minutes (5 hours). And that’s assuming you’re watching things closely and nothing goes wrong.
It’s more realistic to think it’s going to take 7-8 hours per video to 30 service.
And while you’re uploading, your Internet connection is basically useless.
Even if you had a cheap employee do this for $10 per hour * 8 hours a day = $80 for about 30 videos.
If you wanted to upload 100 videos per month to 30 services, you’d need some very fast connections and multiple employees to do it.
Some very big-name internet marketers who recognize the value of video search engine optimization have (or had) full-time employees who did nothing but submit videos for them. And they simply couldn’t submit to more than a few engines. And they’d spend thousands per month on people.
That brings us to the next point. Pricing.
What’s your time worth?
We already discussed the costs of submitting videos manually. Even a “cheap” employee at $10 per hour will cost thousands of dollars per month to submit 20 videos to 30 free video hosting services.
Traffic geyser costs less than $1 to upload a video to 30 free services.
Traffic Geyser is made up of an array of big computers that sit on redundant, load-balanced networks. It’s capable of submitting a massive number of videos at once very reliably.
One video can be submitted from our systems to 30 services in minutes. It’s fast because our ultra wide connections are talking directly to all of the free hosting services without going through a slow connection.
If anyone is thinking a “client side” application to submit videos from your desktop makes sense, think again. Literally every day, the rules for submitting videos changes. You’d be sending updates for your software several times per day AND every one of your customers would be frustrated because that program would hog all of their available network resources doing the uploads.
That’s some of the science behind the system. Please forgive me if that comes across as “markety” – it’s not intended to do so.
What’s Coming Next
The great news about writing software is you get lots of suggestions on how to make it better.
We’ve received lots of great ideas and have big plans for Traffic Geyser and are working like crazy to implement them quickly. We’re dealing with some ideas and issues our customers haven’t even though of yet. Persistence, reporting, ease of use are just a few.
The bottom line is we’re marketers ourselves, need traffic like everyone else does and are always looking for ways to get high-quality, targeted visitors to our web sites for the least amount of money possible.
Traffic Geyser is one spoke on the wheel of many solutions available.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to send a message to info at if you have any questions. Rocket, Frank or I will respond and do our best to accommodate your questions or requests.
Best Regards,
Michael Koenigs
Sorry Dan, I just have to reply to the thing about price…. I’ve heard several people make comments similar to yours. I think that you’re overlooking a few points….
1. BANDWIDTH. This isn’t just you’re momma’s pie recipe we’re dealing with here… in our first month we submitted over 7,000 videos to the various search engines. That takes up bandwidth my friend, and that is an ONGOING expense, not a one time shot. Traffic Geyser runs on two very expensive servers, and a stand along hardware firewall, not your desktop, and it’s tied to a huge backbone which gives us an almost unlimited amount of bandwidth. We have the capabilities of sending out hundreds of videos in a couple of minutes, but that doesn’t come cheap. To be able to utilize this capacity for $47 to $97 a month is a bargain.
However if you plan on sumitting maybe one or two videos a month then this probably isn’t for you, it’s for the people who are SERIOUS about using video, and know the advantages that it gives them in the marketplace.
2. CHANGES. We’re finding that the various video search engines are constantly changing minor things on their web pages, which cause us to have to go in on almost a daily basis to change our software to handle their changes, otherwise the videos would never be picked up.
3. SUPPORT. It takes time and money to be able to offer the kind of ongoing support to customers, and it just plain wouldn’t be possible to do that for a one time $100 charge.
We are about to release Traffic Geyser 2.0. Always the most foremost thought on our minds is how to increase traffic and search engine rankings, and I think that you’ll be blown away at what’s coming next… It’s SEO on steroids…. and it will be totally seamless to TG users. It should help to boost the rankings of both your main website, and the URL to each of the videos you post. Look for that to be released within the next two weeks.
Hi Eric,
Thanks very much for that review. Very interesting.
Regards,
Chris
Hi Eric !
I am interested to join the Traffic Geyser BUT there are some questions keep nagging me, though :
– In whose online video account are the videos uploaded ?
– If it will be in your account, are you comfortable sharing your userID/pass. with Traffic Geyser ?
– If it will be stored in their account, is it OK if their Revver account gets filled with your videos ?
– If the Revver videos get popular, who will earn from the increased viewership ?
– If you and I both avail of this service, and if we target the same competitive keyword, whose video pages will rank higher ?
– Will the popular online video communities frown upon automated submissions / video uploads?
Your soonest reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks :o)
Correct me if I’m wrong, my understanding is that you could create one video and upload that same video multiple times say 100 a month and everytime change the content meaning the description, title, ect for different keywords. Or do you have to actually produce 100 different videos a month?
One more strategy to helping get the video higher for more competitive keywords is to actually go about linking to the url of the acutal video itself. Not only will that help the video get listed higher, but that actual video page will gain PR and pass that PR back to your main site. In my situation I have over 100 blogs and many of those have PR’s of 1-5, my strategy is going to be to make the video submit it and then make a post on all of my blogs with PR with anchor texted backlinks to my actual video url, I plan on targetting the video URL in google. Does this sound like it might be an effective strategy?
And am I right about uploading the same video multiple times under different keywords or do you have to actually go about creating 100 or so videos every month?
I think alot of people don’t understand the software.
Here is how it works. For about $100 you can have a program that uploads videos for you.
If you spend more than $100 worth of man hours per month submitting videos, get traffic geyser.
If you spend less than $100 worth of man hours per month submitting videos, don’t get traffic geyser.
I don’t think the creators of the software are trying to rip you off. They are trying to help people with lots of videos to be able to outsource their submissions reliably at a reasonable cost.
I have personally used Traffic Geyser myself and have had tremendous results. This product absolutely works, and if you are only submitting 1 or 2 videos per month and you don’t think it is worth it than that is your call. If you really think about it, paying $97/month to submit even 1 video would save you money. You submit 1 video to 30 websites like it does, plus tag it on 10+ social bookmarking websites, you are looking at several hours of work. How much is your time worth? If you want to be more productive get this program, and if you don’t, just don’t knock the creators. This program is awesome!
Thanks for a good review Eric.
When you say submit a video a month. Are you saying you’ll have to submit the same video over again every month? Or different ones?
I bought this software for a one time fee for $97 and it works waaaayyyy better… honestly!
UVPRO2.com – check this out
I love it! and only have one gripe…I need someone to talk to once in a while and there is not a number listed. I realize people may abuse but that is part of doing business.
Otherwise…wouldn’t go on without it!
Dude, I wouldn’t be spamming here if I was you, with a crap website and ugly-ass stupid lame video squeeze page of yours. Get your stuff in shape first before criticizing other products (great ones by the way)
2 Eric: somehow it’s second time in a month I come across your blog and see a really good review of a product Im about to use..
Thanks! Keep it up!
Nick
Why I need Traffic Geyser when there is already have the same service before them who does exactly the same? And the good thing is, this site charges $0/month or FREE.
I think TG is a rip-off.
Contact me on my site if you want to use this free service.
My traffic geyser review is that it is definitely worth the investment and it is mind blowing that a service with so many proven systems for top search rankings and website traffic would allow a 30 day trial to test it out to see your web traffic increase to your site and have it pay for itself before you do.
There are even more tools and training inside than they advertised on the salespage and I will be with them for a long time as long as the results keep paying for my membership and you should too if you want to make life easier.
Great info and detailed case study results Eric!
Thanks.
Hello Eric:
Thank you for the review and opportunity to see more than one side. We are currently running our own evaluation.
Note to Joern Lillehagen…I am 1/2 Norwegian. My ancestors migrated to Minnesota in the early 1800’s and still have relatives in Norway (have been to numersous cities from Tromso, to Narvik, Harstad and south to Bergan, Stavanger and Oslo). If you would like some assistance with english I will be happy to help. I do not speak Norwegian but I am sure we could communicate.
Thank you,

I have tried Traffic Geyser and it is an awesome product, but I think that the price is a little steep for $97 a month. Bear in mind that there will be a lot of newbies out there trying to get into Internet Marketing. There are so many products and services being offered for IM, $97/month might just be a turn off.
Over all, I absolutely love the service that they offer. Traffic Geyser has indeed helped me gain very good backlinks to my site and my customers.
I signed up for their free trial two days ago and there is NOTHING fast or easy about this product. The potential is obvious but customer service is pathetic and – even in Mike K’s first video that is touted as the most important to watch – he admits to it being confusing. So why not simplify it, techboy?
I signed up for the trial a week ago and I’m generating decent traffic. Nothing like the claims, but it’s still significant. I’m going to see if I can tweak my campaign a bit and get better results.

Traffic geyser is tight but the price is not very affordable compared to other similar services. I still use tubemogul to distribution my videos.because it lets me track my video results.
Thanks Magnetic. I think that I will first start with Tubemogul (since it is free) and then to to Traffic Geyser to see if it works. I may try them at the same time to see which one works better.
This product is exactly what I need! Clearly the search engines don’t want video spam, but with the team at Traffic Geyser constantly improving their product and the video marketer using savvy title and tag techiques this tool is a must for a serious video marketing.

I read your review of traffic geyser and you mentioned that you know of a free SEO service….could you tell me what it is. Thanks. Susan Omaha
Here is one, but it’s nowhere near as good as Traffic Geyser in my opinion:

Traffic geyser is useful but the price is not very affordable compared to other similar services. I still use other traffic drawer software to track my site & video.

Thanks for the great article Eric. It will be interesting to see how Traffic Geyser works out. I suspect it will run into problems with Google etc.
Cheers, Bob.

To those who say the price is steep …
compared to what! Tubemogul is way more expensive if you get their equivalent service but they do have some neat tracking functions.
What nobody has mentioned is what you do with your traffic that you get from Traffic Geyser.
If you plan on getting traffic so you can brag, then yes it (& anything else you spend your time on) is expensive.
If you plan on providing an in-demand product or service then a few sales of a low low cst $17 product will cover the monthly cost.
My opnion: TG is darn good value for what it brings you which you cannot get anywhere else in this way.
