23 Jun 2023The Great Squeeze Page Hoax: Dead or Alive?00:31:32

In this episode of Perpetual Traffic, hosts Ralph and Kasim are joined by Tom Meredith, the VP of Marketing at Tier 11, to explore the effectiveness of squeeze pages in customer acquisition. They delve into the nuances of using squeeze pages, highlighting their suitability for offers that require minimal commitment while cautioning against their use for offers that demand deeper thought and evaluation. Kasim emphasizes the significance of establishing a rapport with customers by providing them with comprehensive information about the organization, including its mission, values, testimonials, case studies, and customer stories. Squeeze pages typically collect basic contact information, such as name and email, in exchange for a lead magnet or content piece. Ralph believes that squeeze pages offer a valuable opportunity to gather first-party data from interested customers who may not be ready to make a full commitment yet. Leveraging follow-up email sequences, businesses can engage with these leads and nurture them into becoming loyal buyers.

06 May 2022An Ethical Way to Steal Your Competitors YouTube Traffic00:12:07

This hack won a “Wicked Smart” award at a recent War Room Mastermind, so you know it’s got to be good. 

On today’s “What’s Working Now” episode, host Kasim Aslam shares a brilliant tip for free that a bunch of other entrepreneurs had to pay $35k to hear. Well, that’s a little bit of an exaggeration. Thirty-five grand is the annual fee for a War Room Mastermind membership (and totally worth the investment, Kasim says). He shared his totally legal hack in a five-minute powerpoint presentation at a recent meeting, and his fellow members were duly impressed. It all started in November 2020 when Youtube came out and said they were going to show ads on all videos. In January 2022, Kasim came up with a wicked smart idea to use that to his decisive advantage.

Listen in to hear how you too can pull off an ethical heist of your competitors’ most valuable organic traffic.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

  • The biggest thing Kasim has gotten from War Room this year 
  • How Kasim’s ad got a 31% view rate and a massive 8-minute average view duration 
  • Why Google is still protecting some videos from ads in 2022
  • Why Kasim’s ad doesn’t qualify as “interruption marketing”

How much money should you give Google or Facebook during the "learning" phase, and how long should this phase last?

19 Jul 2022A Solution to Fixing Google's Monopoly on Advertising00:15:45

Is Google a monopoly? If so, how is its market power hurting marketing and advertising agencies?

On today's episode, Kasim Aslam describes how Google's monopoly power allows it to weaponize data and charge money for traffic over and above normal auction rates. 

About a decade ago, bloggers, marketers, and advertisers used to get by on organic traffic and internet advertising. Unfortunately, those days are long gone now that Google gobbles up the vast majority of internet advertising dollars. Google can exert massive influence by controlling how people use the internet — and charge money for traffic however they please.

Like any monopoly, Kasim believes it's high times the government regulated them and created an ecosystem that allows other marketing mechanisms to compete. 

 

Listen in as Kasim dissects how Google's monopoly is hurting advertising and how The U.S. Justice Department can confront Google's position as the unchallenged giant on the internet. 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How Google's monopoly is hurting advertising
  • Google's dominance in the advertising space
  • The U.S. Department of Justice's role in squashing Google's dominance
  • Ad rank threshold and what that means
  • Google's tainted Ads pricing framework
  • Why Google ads can and will exceed your daily set budget
  • Why the traffic auction format is an interesting counter to Google's monopoly
