THE BUSINESS MODEL


WE SELL VISITORS, NOT HITS

This is NOT like other exchanges. We DO NOT SELL "HITS". Any reseller that uses the term "hits" must understand the difference between "hits" and "visitors". We sell unique visitors! Hits are nothing more then one computer interacting with another, and the term is misused greatly and has several meanings as far as traffic volume, but rest assured when you see a company afraid to say they sell visitors and they use the term hits, you are dealing with a company that is fully aware that their traffic is nothing more then computers talking to computers. Hits are not human traffic. While it is easy to accidentally talk hits, please try to remember that we do not sell hits, we sell visitors! That is key!

The Internet is "tainted" by high numbers of visitors that are nothing more than computers generating page views. We have all heard of "Auto-Surf" and even "Manual Surf" programs. While manual surf is at least in general a human being mindlessly clicking on sites to get Credits for their own, they are typically people like us and not the consumers that advertisers want their sites presented to (in general). The AutoSurf programs can rack up thousands of page views for sure. It is a darned computer. At a website view every 30 seconds, a single PC on your desk can generate 4320 website views per day! These are not people, but there are other so called traffic companies selling these 4320 wasted views as a product. And, do you think they stop at setting up one computer? WE will not do this and anyone caught doing this that is part of our team, will be dismissed from the experience. Our traffic volume in numbers will grow over time, not be fabricated, and we will do all we can to only sell human visits to our clients websites!

Do you want to sell advertising to a human being so that a computer can see their web page? I think not. We want the highest ad Presentation to sales conversion rates in the industry! That is the goal.

We are a troop and team of people that want to deliver a new honest medium to the masses. Our traffic and traffic partners will be the best real human traffic in the industry and when other vendors tout their numbers, smart people in the future will know reality and high conversion rates (views to sale ratios) based on the most real human traffic on the planet. That is the mission, and the goal. Now are you ready to sell?

Is this going to be easy to re-teach the world about real traffic?

No, it will not be easy. It will take a few years. Be patient. Customers will have to be educated. TrafficQC.net resellers will have the best possible tools and they will improve over time.

BUSINESS MODEL - RESELLERS ARE THE KEY

The business model is diverse and flexible in many ways. We are a reseller driven company! We need your effort to survive and prosper and reward your efforts with huge profit margins unseen before in the industry!

Some resellers use the TrafficQC.net built in store/website and Banners to link to the built in order pages, while other resellers have customized reseller sites that are still automated in general. In either case, they share the same store programming and order processing system. They simply look a little different on each storefront and the link customers use to get to each might be different, but the order system is centralized at TrafficQC.net and common to all sellers.

AUTOMATED RESELLER STOREFRONTS AND WEBSITES

Your automated websites and links allow ordering directly from Traffic Central. There are several advantages to this model. You do not have to maintain inventory and pricing. Any changes that are made to the TrafficQC.net Products database, will show immediately at your store!

When a customer orders through your storefront, the orders are recorded immediately through a special protocol from Paypal called Paypal IPN, which stands for Immediate Purchase Notification. It is a great system. This mechanism allows you to see sales reports and records immediately as they occur. An entry is made in the TrafficQC.net database immediately and recorded with a time stamp so that we know commissions have not been paid on that transaction yet. Then at the end of each month, we run a report, press a few buttons and your commission payments are sent!

As sales occur, they can be seen immediately at the Sales Report Tool. Click here A future version of this tool will optionally email resellers as sales come in.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q1) Does my new automated store front pay my paypal account or TrafficQC.nets? How do I know sales have occurred?

        This is of course one of the first questions, and it should have been asked before diving into business, but the answer is by default the stores are setup to pay TrafficQC.net as they are sold as automated storefronts. With this model, the sales orders and commissions are all automated. Literally, the reseller would simply have to market the site and product, direct customers to the automated store fronts and the rest is handled for the most part automatically. Is this the optimal model for highest profit, the answer is, no, but you will earn your base discount rate in commissions, typically around 45%.

        Sales can be seen immediately at the Sales Report Tool. Click here

Q2) Can my site be configured to pay me directly?

       If you are skilled and want to do a reasonable amount of maintenance on your site, you may configure your own site(s) to accept orders, of course. The risk is that you have to maintain the pricing and inventory, but you are welcome to. It is not encouraged, but you certainly may. You will have to then place an order at the TrafficQC.net reseller wholesale store (See Find a Reseller area at TrafficQC.net - Click Here). When ordering, you would enter your max coupon code, P45 for example and place the order. This takes more work, but the total profit through original sale price and commissions at month will potentially be higher since you are setting your own prices and buying at wholesale. The problems here are more work in coordinating orders but we do this all the time.

Q3) Do you have Banners or auction ad copy I can use?

      Yes. See the reseller area for all ad resources. Click Here You must keep the legal section of the auction ads in your auction ads please.

Q4) Can a customer order through me and I setup their profile at TrafficQC.net?

      Yes, but this is discouraged. You are then acting as a legal agent for the customer and accepting the TrafficQC.net Terms and Conditions for them. It would be better for you to allow the customer to setup a profile on their own (i.e. Join the system) as that clearly implies they have accepted the Terms and Conditions of the site and system.

Q5) When are commissions paid?

      Officially by the 5th business day of the month for prior month sales, but to date, all commissions have been paid on the first day of each month.

Q6) Does the reseller area in traffic central link to my own website or TrafficQC.net store?

      In our database, we currently have one link to any website you would like. We normally point it to the reseller stores, but we will direct it to any legal and appropriate website on the net. Just ask for an adjustment if it is not set as desired.

Q7) Do Banners link to your own store?

      If this is in reference to the Banners on reseller sites, the answer is yes. When we customize a reseller site, there is a special argument on the command line called 'rid' which stands for reseller id. You have a reseller if that was given to you at sign on time and this has been embedded into your site. All sales made through your site will have this recorded in the database and commissions will be paid to you.

Q8) What happens if a customer goes to another reseller link when they see TrafficQC.net?

     Obviously, this can occur. We have put a protective measure into the technology behind the system that records your reseller id into a "cookie" which is a small bit of information that the customers web browser remembers. Once set, all sales are credited to that reseller id. In this way, if you are the reseller that connects a customer to TrafficQC.net, even if they order elsewhere, the original reseller that did the marketing to attract that customer will get the sale.

Q9) How do I get code for my own sites to show TrafficQC.net Banners and participate in the system so that my own sites can be advertised?

     You should sign up for a customer account just like any other customer. Setup your sites in a profile. When you click the title for each site, the code for that website will be readily available for insertion into your own websites. If you do not see the Banner exchange code, it is because you have not entered a valid Banner URL into your site's profile. Do so and press Save. Then the Banner exchange code will be shown as well.

Q10) What participation level is optimal?

    Selling ads to customers can only be done if there are sites in our system that participate in the development or creation of ads. This is done by displaying Banners and activating the NavFX website display code. The more participating sites, the more traffic we have to sell. The optimal levels are 4 and above. See the new priority levels that are designed into the system now. Click Here for More Info

All resellers should strive to get all of their sites to level 4 or above!

Q11) Some customers have websites, such as affiliate sites, that they cannot ad the TrafficQC.net Banner or exchange codes. Can I sell to them?

    Yes. Affiliate sites and other sites that the customers will not modify can be sold traffic.They will be placed only in the Consumer or Member class for traffic and it will be lower then other ranges, but they will receive their customers.

Q12) Can we guarantee to deliver the visitors in a given amount of time?

    Not at this time. In the future this may be possible but remember we will not fabricate visitors to meet this need of a few customers that only want to make their websites look busy. We will develop mass visitors and volume over time and when it is conservatively safe to make volume promises, we will then reconsider this.

Q13) Are all Products in my reseller store discountable?

    No. Service Products such as Banner integration services that require human labor are not discountable. You will still receive your standard commission rate per sale though. Some special case Products may be marked as not discountable too. These are rare but this happens occassionally on special offers or promotions. The bulk of all producst in the stors are fully discountable, meaning you can adjust customer cost with a discount code/coupon.

Q14) How do I adjust prices in my own store?

    Coupon codes can be used to reduce retail pricing. In the reseller stores we build, you may access a discountable store front that will record and register your sales by clicking on any of the validation Banners. You can then enter a coupon code (PXXYYYY) where the PXX is the percent discount. You make these up on the fly now. In the future you will have to register valid coupon codes but that feature is not implemented yet. At this time the YYYY portion of the coupon code is not used. Later it will be for your use and expiration dates etc.

MARKETING TIPS & TECHNIQUES

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES OUR PRODUCT FROM ALL OTHERS?

    Our product is based on human being seeing websites, commonly referred to as visitors. We do not sell hits! We do not fabricate traffic (read above about how AutoSurf computers can generate thousands of hits a day).

    Most importantly, our ad technology cannot be blocked by pop-up stopper ware. Other mediums are obsolete! Why would someone want to buy ad technology that is likely not to be seen but they have no way of knowing how many pop-up stopper ware Enabled browsers blocked all the ads. It is also important to know that browser developers are now building in the pop-up blockers and therefore this is the ONLY ad technology that the world will see once that is implemented. While this is a strong and bold statement, it is true.

    Our ad technology has value ad in the sense that the customer cannot quickly dismiss a popup window and therefore has more potential opporunity to absorb site content and therefore conversion to sales will be higher.

    We are priced aggressively! Our prices are low considering all factors, but this is purposeful and we will continue to have aggressive pricing to gain huge market share!


MARKETING TECHNIQUES:

Here are some quick examples of how you can potentially market TrafficQC.net Products and services:

1) Selling at auction. This obvious channel is profitable in general.

The profit here will be nominal but worth it. Auction house fees eat into profits quite a bit, but resellers practicing sales in volume are still making $200 to $500 a month in sales.

2) Auction ads for discount coupons at your own reseller site!

This is a Great idea! Discount coupons for sales at your reseller site!

I love this idea as it will get customers to buy through your automated reseller sites and use and experience the entire TrafficQC.net process and it develops your brand as a reseller!

3) WARP / DRIVE People to your site somehow. Use creative advertising:

a. Jokes

b. Warp / Jump portals (I just invented this recently) See auction Ad Here

c. Forums - There are many free forums you can post into.

d. Submit your website to search engines (whether you realize it or not, I optimized the keywords for the reseller sites sold, so submit them to search engines!)

4) Pay people to try the traffic. Why not? Why not offer a small amount of traffic and pay for it yourself to key clients that you feel will buy again. Think strategically!

5) Give them free something to try the traffic service! What else can you offer?

6) INSERT TRAFFIC CENTRAL BANNERS WITH YOUR STORE LINK EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE!

a. See my emails (not this one) when I communicate normally with Outlook, each has 3 Banners! Click Here For Instructions

    Setup your MS Outlook "Stationary" with a TrafficQC.net Banner and link to your store!

b. Insert Banners in many Banner exchanges.

7) Work with existing clients!

8) .... You tell us!
