It Had To Happen: Disruptive Correction, and the Death Of Internet Marketing

death of internet marketingIf you are involved in Internet Marketing, your world is about to change, in a profound and massive way.

There have already been some huge changes, or “shifts” in the Internet Marketing space this past year – chief among them Google’s “Panda” updates, but many others such as the Federal Trade Commission bans.

As big as they are, however, they’re just the “tip” of what’s about to happen. Everything – really, everything – is about to change. I don’t mean an algorithm change / update, or a TOS change, I mean everything.

And not just at Google.

What follows is a report I wrote entitled “Disruptive Correction, and the Death Of Internet Marketing”. It describes and explains what is undoubtedly the most significant change in internet marketing since the field began, the death of “Internet Marketing 1.0″

Adsense $100k Blueprint “Version 2″ Is Here… Almost!

It’ hard for me to believe, but it’s been almost exactly one year since we released “Adsense $100k Blueprint“! It’s become one of the most well-respected & reviewed, highest-success courses on the market (http://www.warriorforum.com/internet-marketing-product-reviews-ratings/292295-100k-adsense-revenue-blueprint.html).

Well, a lot has changed in a year! Who knew Google would unleash their most wide-ranging and significant ranking algorithm updates ever? In truth, many of us ‘knew’ it. We may not have known the specifics such as when, and whether it was coming in one (or two) big updates, but anyone who is in the internet marketing or site building business recognized that too many search results were being “polluted” (Google’s term…) by ‘fake’ review sites, single-keyword-focused affiliate sites, garbage MFA (“Made For Adsense”) sites.

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. But the ‘game changing’ aspect are what we call our “external Blueprints”. These are additional step-by-step plans, but are based on the hottest internet marketing products on the market today.

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.

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.

Cool Tool: Copytalk

Write an article – or ebook – over the phone with Copytalk!

Regardless of the particular business model, making money through Internet marketing involves content. Whether it’s website content, articles for backlinks, blog posts, etc., creating content is a given. Beyond website content, one of the best ways to profit in Internet Marketing is to have your own product – we’ve all heard this before. But this is where a lot of marketers get hung up.

There are plenty of ways to generate this content, from buying & editing PLR material, to hiring a copywriter on Elance. One way is through voice dictation using Dragon Naturally Speaking (which will be the subject of an extensive review soon).

Here’s a new, interesting, and (potentially) free method: dictate it over the phone!
