If It Sounds Too Good To Be True…

I just came across a thread on the Warrior Forum from someone who was contemplating an offer he saw there, and was asking for opinions. The offer was to purchase an Adsense site. The cost would be $1500, plus $150/month. The offer claimed the site would earn $300/month a few months down the line.

Right away alarms went off in my head. For one thing, how can anyone possibly ‘know’ how an Adsense site will do months down the road? As the developer of hundreds of Adsense sites – and a course in how to do it – I have a pretty good general idea of how my Adsense sites are going to do. But not all of them perform as expected, and I’ve been doing this a long time.

Boost Conversions, Boost Income

Shortly after releasing “Adsense $100k Blueprint“, we began to get feedback on the course, and customers specific efforts. The two things we heard most often were, how do I get more traffic to my site, and how do I apply these methods to other ways of making money online – other business models i.e. Amazon affiliate sites, video marketing, etc. That was the genesis of “Traffic $100k Blueprint“.

When we began work on our Adsense course, our goal was to provide a step-by-step plan that virtually anyone could follow that would enable them to build a strong, sustainable business. When all was said and done, we realized we had two ‘complimentary’ results: how to build & rank a niche website, and how to optimize a website for maximum Adsense revenue.

Within the A100k course, the ‘traffic equation’ was all about ranking: providing you did your upfront keyword research properly, you would follow the plan to get your Page 1 rankings for your keyword phrases, which in turn would translate into traffic to your site. But search engines only represent a part of the overall available traffic. And so we set about to list all the other free traffic sources we were using ourselves, along with some explanations on how to best leverage them. That took care of the traffic question.

How To Maximize “Unique Article Wizard”

If you’re doing anything based on rankings and search engine traffic, then you need backlinks. But the days of easily “bulldozing” your way to Page 1 with a zillion “profile” links or blog comments are gone. Google’s February 2011 “Panda” update has re-written some of the rules, such that your backlinking efforts need to be more considered and intelligent.

Specifically, “link diversity”, relevance, and position have become much more important. In this post, I’ll touch on all three of these attributes, talk about one of the best tools for ranking in this ‘new world’, and give you a free report on how to best take advantage of it. The tool I’m referring to is “Unique Article Wizard”.

Unique Article Wizard (“UAW”),  is an extraordinarily potent resource, and if used properly, can boost your rankings all by itself. I used to refer to it as my “secret weapon”, having used it countless times to achieve top rankings for page after page after page.

Traffic $100k Blueprint Success Formula: E – I – A – C

If you’re a member of our private forum or an “Adsense $100k Blueprint” customer, you may have heard that we are getting ready to release “Traffic $100k Blueprint” soon. In fact, we hope to have it available pre-launch for A100k customers next week, with the ‘public’ launch a few days afterwards.

“Traffic $100k Blueprint” will be a game-changing landmark course. In addition to being the most comprehensive and effective course on free traffic and internet marketing that you can buy – for just $47! – it includes over half a dozen step-by-step money-making Blueprints, each one leveraging a different strategy or free traffic source.

For each “external Blueprint”, we purchase a top-selling internet marketing product, learn it, and implement it. Then we write up a full ‘expose’, telling you exactly what’s inside – their strategies & tactics, ‘loopholes’, ‘secrets’, etc. And then we create our own Blueprint based on the product, one that works – a step-by-step plan to implement the same strategies, tactics, etc.

Quickie: Easy Flipping Formula

One of the easiest and most self-contained ways for making money online is website flipping. While there are many avenues or strategies to pursue, such as buying inexpensive sites, boosting them, and reselling them, for this quickie we’re going to go over a quick and easy formula for building and selling new sites.

This strategy revolves around quickly building unique content sites, and flipping them right away. Using this method, you can expect to get $100-$200 per site, for about a day or two work; if you are good, or able to optimize your efforts, you could realistically produce these sites in about half a day.

To understand this strategy, it helps first to understand the website auction marketplace. While there are a number of venues for selling websites, such as eBay, digital point, and others, we are going to focus our efforts on the Flippa. This is in part because it is the largest auction venue, and in part because it will be the ‘easiest’ in terms of buyer sophistication.

Lovin’ My Kindle!

I’m a reader; I like sci-fi, historical fiction, non-fiction, and read a lot of trade magazines, tech and business journals,  and the occasional James Patterson or Stephen King novel. I love poking around book stores, the big chains as well as used book stores, and get irritated if I know I’m going to be stuck somewhere and don’t have something to read.

You’d think I’d be an ideal “target customer” for an e-book reader. The reality however is that I’ve been avoiding them, as I didn’t think any of the “e-readers” was really up to snuff.

Recently, we sponsored an ‘Adsense Challenge’, providing the winner with a first place prize of a new Kindle. When placing the order to have it shipped out, I spent a little time reading through the reviews on Amazon. Subsequently, the winner emailed me to say how much they were enjoying it. And so, I ‘bit the bullet’ and ordered one for myself.

Brand = Support = Reputation

With it’s un-erasable ‘memory’, immediate feedback, and instant dissemination of fact & opinion, the internet has forever changed the rules for marketing, reputation, and brand management. Knowing these ‘new rules’ will not only help you in your internet marketing efforts – making money online – but just as importantly, help you avoid the increasing number of landmines and pitfalls.

Once upon a time, companies could ‘manage’ their brands and their reputation fairly easily and effectively. For the most part, you saw what a company presented, and heard what they announced. Information wasn’t as quickly & widely disseminated , nor were most people able to access any- and everything. Companies could be very selective in ‘sculpting’ their image. What little “social proof” existed was in the form of testimonials – easily controlled by a company.

Backlinks, Ezinearticles, And “Farmer” Update Critical Observation

If you’ve been in Internet marketing for much time and rely on search engine rankings, you know the significance and importance of back links. Among Internet marketers, “article marketing’ has been a mainstay both for direct promotion and traffic, and for gaining backlinks. However, Google’s “Farmer” update – really “Panda” – has significantly changed the rules. It’s also caused a lot of confusion, and there is already a lot of mis-information and bad assumptions.

One of the websites used extensively for article marketing, and one of the sites cited as most profoundly impacted by the new update, is EZA (Ezinearticles.com). In one fell swoop, they’ve lost as much as 50% of their traffic (by their own estimates). Deemed a “content farm” by some, EZA was long considered the ‘strongest’ of the article directories, both for it’s strength in getting top rankings for it’s articles, and the relative strength of it’s links for backlinking purposes.

How to Beat Googles “Farmer” Update

Google recently rolled out a significant update to its search engine algorithm called Panda, although many in the SEO world have termed it “Farmer update” because of the impact on so-called “content farms”.

While the title of this post might be a bit misleading – think of it as “link bait”- the aim is to help understand the impact of this update and compensate accordingly. You might also notice this post is considerably longer than previous posts; we’re implementing the same changes we suggest below!

Understanding the Update

We’ll begin by trying to understand what the update is. You can read Google’s official announcement here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html. According to the announcement, the update “is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites”. They define these as “sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful.”
