I just purchased the full package (training, hands-on, etc) for $2000 through one of the Steve Harrison interviews with the Traffic Geyser CEO. So, it is very expensive and i hope the full package and handholding is worth that kind of premium.

Can i assume that tools like instantvideogenerator are not necessary in addition? I am taking Alex M’s course on teleseminars.

Never have I seen so many get it so wrong. I have been using Traffic Geyser since the beginning. I have to tell you, it’s fantastic..
If you are just in it for a hobby maybe it’s not for you but if you plan on making a living, it’s all right there in the Traffic Geyser program.
1. If you follow the very simple instructional videos setup and learning is a breeze.
2. If you are taking months to make a video, you have missed the entire concept.
Try using a 5 slide power point presentation.
3. Look at you location in the search engines before and a couple weeks after submitting.
If you don’t see substantial improvement, you did something wrong.
Over a year ago I submitted a video for a local restaurant. He was on page 7 in Google. Three days later he was in position 1 with 5 more of his videos on page 1. Now one year later he only has 1 video in position 10 on page 1 and his website is #1. There are no other restaurants on page 1, only those annoying directories that lead you to irrelevant locations.
I have done this over and over for clients with similar success results.
Think about this. Right now I am discounting my setup fees to $300 to $500 and I $190 per month to maintain with a 6 month commitment. (Some projects start small like this and grow into sizable bids.) Businesses are signing up with little resistance. My goal is 108 clients. 108 x $190 = $20,520 x 12 months = $246,240.00 per year. No I haven’t achieved it yet but I’m getting there. (And that is not including the setup fees.)
I do SEO for a living. This is one of the first tools I use for a client and they are blown away when the next day they start to see their videos in the search results. SEO is a process and this is one of the most powerful tools I have seen.

I am goin to try the tubemogul route, to begin with, to see if the photo to oil painting keyword will rank. Thank you all for your review and comments.

My general impression is that TubeMogul is a solution for more experienced marketers who are looking for a solution to support an ongoing video marketing strategy. It has more advanced analytics and functionality than Traffic Geyser, which is more of an SMB video marketing starters kit.

I’ve been trying to understand the difference between trafficgeyser and tubemogul. A friend of mine signed up for their service and I logged on and scanned the support page to find in the FAQ someone asking that exact question. Unfortunately, there’s no answer to it.

I really like the comments being made about how a video distribution site may get you views but it won’t give you conversions unless the content of the video is compelling. To help people produce better content, I’ve been producing tutorial videos for anyone who’s interested and posting them to betterinternetvideo-dot-com. Would love to hear feedback from people who are out there digging in their heals in an effort to make video work for them. My goal is to keep the content free so that I might be able to eventually attract some sponsors to the page.

Well guys…. the stakes are even higher now. This new launch of using traffic geyser to help local business get a high google ranking, and then keep doing more videos for each business/client every month to keep the content relevant and recent, now costs $1997.

Forget $100 a month, or lower.

But it’s only on offer till Thursday 17th Dec 09. What’s your views?

I agree with your frank assessment of Traffic Geyser.. They are holding a launch now on the back of someone using their service to blast out videos for use in promoting businesses who don’t know how to market their product… all very well and good but the blueprint is easy to digest and do without spending $100 a month! Creating crap slideshow videos and uploading to video sharing sites is obviously an easy way to attract views..but maybe not traffic!
there are a number of businesses now offering the videos pre-made for you to promote on the video sharing sites, but are people gonna get pissed off seeing the same video doing the rounds?..hmm..

Good review by the way, keep up the good work

I have used Traffic Geyser for nearly a year now. I have to say that it has generated great results for my clients. There is a steep learning curve as far as operation goes, but if you put the time in it will pay off.

TG does times submissions, so it does not spam in the manner which some purists seem to kneejerk about. Plus, the creators of TG preface this feature quite well.

Traffic Geyser does not seem to be as effective on large, national/global campaigns. It will simply not outweigh the server strength on large brands and large markets. However, if you have the ability to target a locally oriented NICHE market, you will find the program to be HIGHLY effective, if you do your keyword research properly. The problem is, the program is not simple, it requires some training. If you do not have some experience with SEO in general you will get in the weeds fast. If you have done your homework however, you will find it an effective tool.

@ Rick Lomas

I doubt if you’re going to see this comment because it’s been a while since you posted. You say you achieved #1 in 10 minutes. Is that for your video or the website you’re promoting/backlinking with the video?

If it was the website, that would be really awesome, but I get the feeling it was the video – in which case it would probably not matter if you submit it manually or through traffic geyser.

Is there anybody who got the backlinking benefits – improved your website rankings using traffic geyser?

Cheers!

The funny thing …

… with all those spam…, eh, online marketers is that they only look at tools produced by industry gurus, which are always ridiculously overpriced. Any monthly price for a software is too much when you compare it to software outside the online marketing industry. Worse, as soon as you stop paying the monthly rip-off, you can no longer use their program at all, whereas normal shareware continues to work, just that you don’t get the latest update/version any longer.

For the purpose of uploading videos to video hosting sites, there is an incredible number of freeware and shareware programs out there, and none of them, not even the most expensive software, costs $39 × 12 per year. Sure, these programs don’t come with spam bot functionality, but everything needed to provide and promote decent content honestly is in there.

The sooner all the trash and spam is weeded out by Google & Co., the better. We are all customers of thousands of companies and products but only working for one — if I can find real, better results sooner, without having to wade through tons of rehashed, copied and repeated dirt to get to them, this will benefit all of us in terms of quality of life.

Try to think outside the box, folks, and in the end, those who deserve it will still thrive despite — or because of — not spamming the world with irrelevant BS to sell overpriced crap.

Good luck to all of you and thanks for your attention.
