Let's say only 50% of those 2,000 newspaper
readers see and read my ad. That means 1,000 people are
reading my ad... which boils down to a cost of 1/4th of one
cent per reader.

And what if only 10% of those 2,000 pairs of
eyeballs read my ad? That means I'm getting 200 readers for
$2.50... which is equal to 1¢ per newspaper reader.

Now, let's pretend everybody who reads the
newspaper ad does go to my website. That would be the same
as a "click" if you were using Google ad words.

Know this: If you are doing a Google ad word
campaign, you are limited to a very small number of
characters to attract people to read your message. As you've
noticed, my newspaper ad uses more than 1,000 words to
attract people to read my message. I think my conversion
rate is going to be unusually high. Why do I feel that way?
Ask yourself this...

Who Do You Know Who Would Read That Newspaper Ad

With All Those Fascinating Bullets And Then Go To

A Free Website To
Find Out The Answers?!

And know this: Print readers
attracted to your website (people who read newspapers,
magazines, and direct mail letters), are a far higher
quality of reader... than... readers attracted to your
website from the Internet and its culture of cheapness.

This is the greatest, little-known
website traffic building secret and it is almost unknown
to every website marketer on earth.

You know what I'm really kind of proud of?
You know Bill O'Reilly who's on Fox News every day promoting
what he calls the "Bill O'Reilly Factor"? Well, several
times a day while he's on the air, he promotes his website,
BillOReilly.com. And you know the sanctimonious drug addict,
Rush Limbaugh who has the most listened to radio show in the
world? He promotes his website RushLimbaugh.com every day on
his radio show. But guess what? I get about 5-times the
readership of both those guys put together... and... I've
done almost nothing to promote my website except to suggest
to my readers they tell others about it!

I'm not sure it's true but I believe I am
now read by more people on the Internet than any other
single individual. Certainly there are websites which get
more traffic than mine. These are usually search engines,
porno sites, booking travel sites, and so forth. But people
don't go to those sites to read them.
