That’s a phrase that so many people use to entice you to at least look at their sales page and hopefully buy their ‘secret’.

Except, 90% of them are not secrets, and 99% of them are not new sources.

Everyone loves a good secret, especially if they are the “the gurus use these but they won’t tell you” type of secrets.

Many of the solo ad vendors buy their subscribers from other solo ad vendors.

If I buy 500 clicks from a vendor for $0.50 per click and sell them two or three times for $0.40 a click I’m in the money.

I don’t even need a list myself, I can just push them through a rotator to you.

Traffic arbitrage is alive and well, but that won’t do you much good at all.

What about the latest small reports profits being pushed by many affiliates at the moment?

I learned about this about four years ago and used it for a while.

Yes, it works and probably works better now than it did then because it’s so much easier to pump out a lot of reports quickly with AI.

I suspect the next “new” traffic source will be when some guru re-discovers article directories.

These are still going and probably still work just fine even if the directories themselves don’t rank like they used to.

Who is using Press Releases today?

Plenty of people would be, and they still work pretty well.

HARO, Help A Reporter Out, was a great service until they shut it down early this year, so that’s one “secret traffic source” that won’t be coming back.

Then there are the blatant frauds.

Get buyer traffic to your link, but when you check it out the buyers are the people who are paying to get their link in front of you.

Sure, some of those will be interested in buying from you, but they’re more interested in getting you to buy from them.

It’s the same with traffic exchanges.

Most of those people are, like you, trying to get people to check out their sales page or get on their list.

Again, some will buy from you or subscribe, but most won’t.

You’re just as well off buying cold traffic for pennies on the dollar.

The best traffic source(s) for your niche?

Forums, Q&A sites, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X.

Whether you use video, images, or text for these you can still use AI to help, but you will have to rewrite some or all of any text generated.

Regardless, the main secret to getting a lot of free traffic is to target a lot of low to no competition words.

When looking at the results of a keyword search you need to remember that all of the keywords that show up in the list do have people searching for them.

So a search volume of 0 is wrong, it’s just very low.

It’s easy to check some of those keywords.

Paste them into the YouTube search and have a look at the view count on the videos that come up.

I’ve never seen one with a 0 count.

Anyway, this tool: https://go.wm-tips.com/insight will pull all the search terms that people use and give you the search volumes.

Have a look at the video on that page to see how it works.
