You've probably seen these types of pages before. They feature an ad on top and then there are listings that look like a directory or a search engine.

All you have to do is make a list of keywords, type them into Traffic Equalizer and the software crawls search engine data to bring back the top results for that keyword. Then it lists those sites and inserts your site at the top...and voila! It creates pages that are supposedly designed to rank well for search engines.

The thing is, some of the pages it produces can look a bit clunky, like this:


6.1 Using Traffic Equalizer


You should always put Traffic Equalizer pages on a separate domain, on a separate IP, even on a separate server. Keep it as far away from your website as possible. More on why later.

Traffic Equalizer provides a template that’s…well, not great-looking. And here’s the thing: many users are saying that when they use that original template, unmodified, their pages and in some cases their entire website are getting dropped from Google's index. The work-around here is for you to create a new template, with your own graphics. Change the colors and add some of your own new text. You want to change this from being easily recognizable to Google.

Traffic Equalizer runs a support forum...for product owners. So if you get TE, be sure you take full advantage of it to get tips and such. Mind you, in those forums you’ll see posts from users who’ve gotten banned from search engines. What you want to do is look for people who are getting tons of traffic from Traffic Equalizer and find out their secrets.

There are also some helpful sites, such as http://www.webtrafficstrategies.net/cb_templates which offer different templates for TE.

Here’s a sample of what they offer:


6.2 Google’s Guidelines


I wouldn’t be doing my job right if I didn’t caution you that using TE could get you thrown out of Google, and the AdSense program. That’s why I’ve listed some cautions above. Here’s what Google has to say about it in their guidelines:


"Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"

Chapter 7: Using Traffic Hurricane


Traffic Hurricane (TH) is a little bit interesting in the way it’s marketed. It is only sold through its JV Partners links. If you go to http://www.traffichurricane.com, you will see this:


However, you can solve that little problem by going directly to one of the free download pages of one of the Traffic Hurricane Site Resellers Just Click Here.


With this free version you can build tens of thousands of web pages very quickly. The downside is that with the free version you will be showing ads on your pages that belong to the reseller of the copy of Traffic Hurricane you downloaded.


The upside is you can try this new version of TH and if you like it you can upgrade and remove these ads or make them your own.
