If you want loads of traffic and fast, then PopUnders could be the answer to your dreams. Visitors direct to your site, from another relevant site. But what exactly are they and how do they drive more traffic to your website?21 Dec
More to the point – do they actually work? Do they really drive more traffic to websites and does is traffic worth while? Do they convert to paying customers or visitors clicking on pay per click links?
This is the big question and one that I don't really feel can be answered for any one website. In my experience they work for some websites, but not for all. I've had customers that love popunders and think they are great. Their businesses rely on them to bring in the traffic that converts to sales that keep the businesses alive. But in the experience of other people they don't bring in any traffic.
Should this experience put you off from giving popunders a try? I think not. On the whole a trial campaign can deliver a lot of traffic for very little cost in real terms. It is well worth the small outlay required to give popunders a trial and see if they work for you.
So what exactly are popunders? Very simply put, popunders are the display of your website in a new window when a visitor enters a page on another person's website. Popunder campaigns can start off as campaigns of 5,000 visitors and easily work up to 60,000 visitors or more, for an incredibly low cost.
The general idea is that popunders appear under the screen the visitor is currently browsing. They will then see it later, when they close the current screen. They don't always work this way - within a campaign large numbers of the people seeing your website loading will just close the screen down, maybe even before it fully loads.
There are a myriad of popup blockers around - built into browsers or as add ons in tool bars - but in a popunder campaign these won't (usually) count as they haven't opened the window.
For all of these problems, popunder campaigns are cheap and send a lot of traffic in a very short time. 2,000 - 3,000 visitors per day is easily possible. If you choose a good supplier, you can carefully match the category of the website showing your website to your own website's content.
For a small outlay you can rapidly boost your traffic in no time. As with other website marketing ideas, it's not guaranteed that it will work for all sites and I've known customers who have had no success whilst others who's businesses hinge on the results of popunder traffic. For a small outlay, a trial campaign is a must.
