Complete Traffic Secrets 2.0 Review
My eyes are getting a little bit blurry as I finally post this review to my blog. As you know, my computer time has been limited due to a topsy turvy pregnancy and I have to be wise with my cyber-time.
Well, when I finally sat down to review the Traffic Secrets 2.0 transcripts that were provided to me as a preferred affiliate of the course, I couldn’t put it down and was determined to get this ready for you before launch time tomorrow.
I was going to post the entire review right on this blog, but it ended up being 10 pages, so I’ve put it all into a PDF document for you. That way you can print it out, read it and consider whether the course is really for you. There is a lot of buzz going around the net about this, so definitely take the time to make an informed decision for you.
If you don’t want to read 10 pages, I’ll give you the summary in just a sec, but the printable review (or just read it on your screen if you prefer) includes a full list of contents of what’s in this 12 CD learning program…so it might be worth a glance, just to get that.
Who’s This Course For?
Many affiliates promoting this program will tell you how it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, that John Reese is a genius and you’d be an idiot not to accept their bonuses valued at a cajillion dollars and buy through their link.
Out of those three things (the sliced bread, the genius and you being an idiot
), only one is close to being true…and that is that John is a pretty darned smart guy. Not only that, he has the experience and ability to convey information in such a way that it’s easy to digest and apply. That’s just what we need in our Internet Marketing teachers.
But despite him being smart and a good teacher, is the course for everyone? Obviously not. After my review, I can tell you this:
If you plan to buy this course, be sure to dedicate the time to go through ALL the materials thoroughly. Then be prepared to create and execute and action plan.
If you just want to skim through it and see if it’s worth it, don’t bother. This course is intensive, it takes you through a logical order and needs to be consumed in its entirety.
Side Note: After a few people get their hands on this course, there will be a few yahoos will claim how this is “basic stuff” and they “already knew all this”, but I can tell you it’s because they skimmed the material and didn’t take the time to look at in-depth.
If you are a beginner, this course really does give you the fundamentals to be able to make your own massive traffic generation plan.
If you are an advanced traffic strategist, you’re going to get plenty out of this too, but be sure to dedicate yourself to going through all the course materials. It’s easy to skim and I saw, “I already know that,” but only when you look deeply is when you’ll get all the important keys.
If you want to build a business over the long haul and ignore all the traffic fads and short-term methods, this IS the course for you.
If you want push-button stuff and don’t care how long it’s effective for, as long as you make some cash, this course is NOT for you.
How Does It Compare to Traffic Secrets 1.0?
This is a brand new course, built from scratch. And even though it is being sold at less than half the price of the original course, I’d say it’s a much more organized and detailed plan for creating website traffic. In addition, it takes into account recent developments in technology and social media making it a most up-to-date resource for generating traffic.
Personally, I’m a little bummed that the training materials are on CD-Rom, rather than DVD…but the addition of complete transcripts helps that. Personally, I prefer to absorb learning materials away from my computer, but this isn’t a make or break factor for me.
The CDs are well organized and I like how they are divided into lessons with an “Overview” and “Review” component to each and every one of them…making it easier to grasp all the key concepts. They also use interactive technology, so you can get even more out of your learning opportunity.
What’s Included?
The new course includes:
12 Interactive CD-Roms
Training Manual (this is the transcripts of the CD-Roms)
Workbook
Blueprints (John’s blueprints are always highly prized!)
Interactive Traffic Secrets student forum.

Wow Alice,
I have to hand it to you.
It takes a lot of hard work to go through a course like this, but to write such a fantastic and thorough review is a monumental task.
My hair is off to you… (seriously).
Makes the rant I posted today - The 12 Biggest Whores In Internet Marketing - look like a casual effort - and I had a video!
I really do appreciate your straightforward approach and great writing.
You are making it very hard for me to create satire around The Internet Marketing Sweetie - but that won’ stop me from trying!
You’ll get yours one day gurrl!
LOL

I can’t wait to see you in a long brown-haired wig and doing your best Sweetie impersonation, Rick.
The course is really good, by the way. If I remember correctly, you were a pretty big fan of the first course. I think this one is even more well done. The people who purchase just have to look at it like a COURSE…not a magic pill or something to glance at quickly…but something to learn from and apply.
Thanks for your kind words, Rick.
Making a note - brown wig.
I look forward to your comment on my post about the TS 2.0 bonus-whoring.
Yes, I LOVED John’s TS 1 and made a lot of money from applying the ideas.
I’m not in any way baggin’ on John’s course. And when I found out it was only $400 - more’s the better.
Interesting though, isn’t it, that the first one sold for $1000 all day long - but now the market will not bear such a thing. Especially in July after so much cash has been sucked out of the market by “launch buckets.”

Excellent review. You miust have spent a long time going through the coutse notes to provide such detail. I know that John Reese is always pushing that we should “over deliver” I think you can pat yourself on the back for this one.
As for the price point of the course. I think John has very big plans for his Income.com company and this is the first step. He is going to attempt to take the company to a level that IM hasn’t been before. The low price is all part of that strategy.
I like your blog and your reviews. I just wanted to congratulate you for this job and for the kindness you apply in all your writting.
i love a “mom” talking as one. Big hugs from South America, I will keep reading you.
Thanks for your very comprehensive review. I hadn’t considered the course until yesterday - thought it was just another big launch - until I read Lyn Terry’s review. Your 10 pages gave me a better understanding of the content and I think it might be just what I need to get more clicks and visitors
Alice,
I just wanted to congratulate you on providing the most unbiased and informative review on Traffic Secrets 2.0 without having to follow everyone else who decided to put out lame videos on youtube.
Your simple no nonsense review on your site was a million times better than all those videos well done!!
You kept it simple and to the point.
Its a shame others still dont “get it” isn’t it. Why on earth they all think they have to go and make silly videos and put them on youtube is beyond me.
Thanks everyone.
Rich, I haven’t seen any of those videos. I guess I’m not missing out?
Alice,
Your certainly NOT missing out.
I was one of the first TS 1.0 owners back on it’s release day in 2004, seems like yesterday to me.
Anyway, well done for a great unbias review, it makes a change!
Rich
Alice,
Thank you so much for the comprehensive review of this much publicized course. It can become very difficult to make an important buying decision about a product when you get 300 emails from every big name guru on the block hyping it up.
I have been a subscriber to your emails for about a couple of months and would like to tell you that you’re style of delivery and content is outstanding.
Please keep up the good work, but take care of yourself and the soon to be new addition.
Enjoying and Learning from your work,
Nando
Thank you very much for your kind words, Nando. They’re very much appreciated!
