ONLINE MALLS AND WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID THEM
by Jason Ryan Isaksen

My students often come to me with this question. They say: "I hear a lot about "Online Malls" and I want to know if they will really bring lots of visitors to my website like they say they will?"

The answer is NO! The only thing an online mall gives you is a tiny listing on their "Main Mall Store List Page" and this page typically gets the least amount of the mall traffic. People that sign up to be in "Online Malls" usually think they're going to get a lot of cross traffic like in real world malls. Cross traffic is when a shopper goes in to a mall to buy some clothes and ends up in the vitamin store buying vitamins. But this almost never happens in "Online Malls."

In my opinion, internet malls are a horrible place to try to get traffic from. Mall owners almost always use high traffic volume to try to sell you on buying into their mall. But from my experience, the traffic coming into "Online Malls" is very low and extremely non-targeted. You basically get a few people coming into the "Online Mall" each day and they're not sure what they want.

Online Mall people are a bunch of window shoppers! These people just love to look! You don't want lookers! You want serious buyers! These types of people are bad for you and your business. My advice is to stay far away from Online Malls. The reason you bought this course in the first place is so you can get your own traffic and don't have to end up desperate enough to fall victim to a mall scam.
