Get Targeted Website Traffic With FreeTrafficBar






Get Targeted Website Traffic

With FreeTrafficBar -- Review and Recommendation




By Elizabeth Adams

FreeTrafficBar is a web search toolbar that markets your business while you surf the net. If you have ever wished you could highlight your search terms so you could see them easily without having to read whole pages of text in order to discover if they're even there or not, then you'll be happy to hear that your wish has been granted. This new toolbar comes with a highlighter built right into it.

The Search Box

On the far left of the FreeTrafficBar, there's a built-in search box that lets you (a) type your keywords directly into it without wasting any time bringing up a whole new browser window, (b) select which search engine you want to use, and (c) turn on the "paint brush" so your keywords show up in a rainbow of pretty colors on your computer screen.

Other Engines

Although Google is certainly the largest search engine,
it is by no means the only one, and quite often you can achieve more relevant results with other engines, especially when you're looking for things like opinions, people, pictures, audio, video and state-of-the-art software.

Google, unfortunately, is under constant attack from a huge number of search-engine optimizers, marketers, web designers and others trying to get top ranking for their own site or their clients' sites. Although some of these people use "white-hat" techniques (improving their content to make their website a leader in its field), many others use "black-hat" techniques (tricking or scamming the Google algorithms into giving them a high ranking when they don't deserve it).

Google works hard to keep its results relevant, but this constant attack definitely affects the quality of their results, with some of the top searches being totally unrelated to the topic being searched for.

So what is the solution?

The solution is a tool that makes it easy to access other engines and blogs and article databases and even to search the invisible web without having to drop what you're doing and dig into your "favorites" file and see if you can find where you hid the links to Clusty and Grokker so you can get the results you need without taking all day about it.

FreeTrafficBar is just such a tool. There's more to the Internet than Google, and this tool enables you to explore it.

In the words of Chris Sherman of SearchEngineWatch:

"This is very cool!"

But can you make it work?

Fortunately for all of us non-techies out there, the developer of this ingenious little tool has made a couple of training videos that walk you right through everything you need to know in order to play in Google's "Sandbox" and explore all the marketing tools that come with it as well as access all the databases for information relevant to your search terms.

In addition, there is a selection of audio files in the forum on various topics of interest to marketers who want to get targeted website traffic. For example, there's one on "Using Lead Capture Pages to Stop Wasting Traffic" and another on "Writing Internet Ads That Sell", and free live training twice a month on how to advertise more effectively online.

Nine Advantages of Becoming A Member:


  1. In addition to the researching and marketing tools just mentioned, one of the great things about FreeTrafficBar is that it rewards you in terms of either credits or dollars for doing something you do everyday, anyway, which is surf the net.


  2. Members using the free toolbar have the opportunity to create headline ads about their products or services linking to their own websites. These headlines are shown to other users of the toolbar in rotation. While toolbar users browse the web, they are generating advertising credits as the headlines rotate, gaining credits to show their ad to other users. As they invite other people to join, they also generate additional credits as their referred members browse.


  3. You're not forced to look at advertiser sites, or interrupted with pop-ups, or bombarded with sales pitches. You only click on the ads you'd really like to know more about. You never have to visit sites you don't want to, and you earn credits while going to the same sites you use every day.


  4. Your privacy is completely protected. The FreeTrafficBar neither knows nor tracks what pages you visit, and there is no adware, spyware or scumware.


  5. You can choose what categories of ads you want to see in your profile, and preference is given to showing ads in your toolbar that fit the category you choose. What this means to you from your vantage point as an advertiser is that you aren't wasting your advertising credits on people who have no interest in your type of product or service.


  6. The toolbar itself is so good that people want it and use it even when they have no product to market. The inherent usefulness of the toolbar makes people want to try it out and, once they've fallen in love with it, they don't want to part with it!


  7. As far as the ads themselves are concerned, there are three kinds: toolbar ads, text ads, and banner ads. You can earn additional credits and build your downline by adding graphic or text banners to your website. This way, you will get additional credits each time someone visits your website. In addition, if people join from the banner link, they are added to your downline.


  8. Both "Free" and "Pro" membership accounts are offered. Pro accounts give you a better surf ratio (1:1 Pro versus 4:1 Free), more monthly credits, and make you eligible for 50% commissions on the monthly Pro-account renewals and credits purchases of those you refer. When you sign up for a Free account, you get a bonus of 500 credits; when you sign up for a Pro account, you get a bonus of 15,000 credits. Also, as a special perk for becoming a Pro member, you can get the $300 Internet Marketers Version of CamStudio Video-Production Software for just $9.97.


  9. FreeTrafficBar can also be used by special-interest groups and fund-raising organizations to get targeted website traffic to their home page. This tool is essentially "viral" in nature because it's so easy to share and so quick to spread.

One Disadvantage:

It takes a little bit longer for your browser to open once this toolbar has been installed, so if "speed" is higher on your priority list than "search", you might want to give this tool a miss. The only way to be sure, though, is to check it out for yourself and see how much you enjoy using all its features.

In Conclusion:

Garland Coulson, the developer of FreeTrafficBar, lives in British Columbia and is a professional speaker and trainer on Internet Marketing. He has spent many hours testing various tools to see which ones work best for his students and clients. The FreeTrafficBar he has created gives you quick access to the best Internet Marketing tools he has found. Many of these are free or very low cost. They include traffic builders, ad trackers, autoresponders, website builders and templates, hosting, public relations tools, copywriting, form generators and more, and new ones are being added all the time. The Resale Rights Library alone now contains 124 products, so if you're on a budget and haven't yet found a product you want to take to market, this might be a good place to begin to look for one.
