OK so we have already covered the critical importance of back links in terms of SEO and getting boat loads of 100% free traffic to your website.  The greater the amount of traffic that you attract to your site the more money you will make, be it via promoting affiliate products or incorporating PPC adverts on your site.  We have also covered how you can get literally thousands of back links to your site using an incredible piece of software called Unique Article Wizard (CLICK HERE).  If you don’t have access to this already then buy it – seriously!  It’s one incredible tool.

Now, uniqe article wizard is all about quantity of links.  For very little work you can literally generate thousands (or tens of thousands if you so choose) back links.  And you can stagger the process to avoid getting sandboxed by the search engines.  The articles that you generate are ALL unique therefore reducing concerns over duplicate content penalties.  It’s great and it works.  Take this site for instance – the one that you are reading.  Based on Cpanel I get hits for the keyword “money” and there are 988 MILLION competing pages.  I’m not making any claims that you are guaranteed such staggering results.  However, it works.  I can say this with absolute certainty based on my own experiences.

The other aspect to SEO is not just the quantity of links but the quality of links.  The links that you get from unique article wizard are generally on low PR sites.  So the other key step in boosting your search engine rankings is getting back links from high PR sites.  But, firstly how do you find high PR sites, secondly how do you know which of these will enable you to add a back link to your site, thirdly how do you find high PR sites or pages that are specifically related to your keyword and finally how do you know whether the resulting links are do follow or no follow (the latter will be ignored by Google when establishing your search engine rankings)?  The short answer is that if you try and do this yourself, it’s virtually impossible.  However, I know of a tool that can tell you all of this information within seconds.  It will save you weeks and weeks of work and the results are incredible.  Better still, not many people know about this tool and it’s quite obscure and not well publicised so let’s keep it hush hush.  It will give you a huge advantage over the competition.

The tool is called EASY BACKLINKER and you can CLICK HERE to see it.  It’s difficult to explain how it works but if you click on the previous links you’ll see a video demonstration.  IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE the statement on the website that the price is doubling at the end of the month.  So if you want it, get in there quick. 

Getting good rankings in the search engines is very very difficult if you don’t know what you are doing.  Using these tools you can, quite frankly, annihilate the competition.

Amy Bass Scam – VERY Interesting

I monitor my CPanel statistics regularly and seem to be getting a lot of hits for the keyword “Amy Bass Scam” which is very interesting.  Amy Bass of course is the author of TheNicheBlogger which is a Niche Blogging Course which I subscribe to.  To say or even think that Amy Bass is working a scam is clearly complete and utter nonsenense.  In fact I don’t believe that I have ever seen anything but positive feedback for this course – it’s dead simple, really easy, and is almost a guaranteed way of building of regular income.  Nevertheless it does illustrate quite an important point.  And that is that people no longer trust any make money online products.  People have been stung so many times by people selling complete and utter junk that they treat any make money online product with extreme caution and assume the worst.

It’s a real shame as there are so many great products out there that REALLY DO teach you EXACTLY how to make money.  However, these products are so diluted amoungst all the another junk on the internet it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!  And even if you are hunting for a review details of problems with a particular course, if do a seach for “Amy Bass Scam” or similar many of the sites PROMOTING this or other make money online products actually optimise their site for this keyword.

I think that this raises a wider question about where you can look to find open and honest product reviews about products and I really don’t know the answer.  Even if you look at supposedly impartial posts at places like WarriorForum, the posts can be polluted by people that are associated with the product in some way trying to line their pockets.  I believe that the only way of ever finding reasonable products is to find an online marketer that you trust – be it a blog or an email list – and test their recommendations.  The best internet marketers are paranoid about their reputation, as it is their reputation that is their platform for making money.  If they recommend a bad product then they can literally destroy their reputation overnight.

There are several things that encourage visitors to keep coming back to your money making blog.  The first thing is great content (obviously!).  However, the other is interactivity.  Although what you are writing might be just great, readers get bored with reading one person bleating on about this and that.  What maintains interest is seeing the views of others – i.e. visitor comments.

However, if you understand anything about human nature at all you will realise that people very rarely do ANYTHING for nothing in return.  And leaving a comment on your blog is a great example.  What’s in it for them?  Well, the answer is that you have to create something in the form of a back link back to their site.  This in turn helps to improve their search engine ranking.  Straightforward so far hey?

However what you may not realise is that, because of the way that Wordpress is set up, comments that people leave are assigned a no-follow link back to their own site.  This is because of the way that Wordpress is coded – I guess the logic was to prevent posters from leaving spam.  And this means that if people do add a comment the link back to their site will be completely ignored by Google.  How will people ever know?  Well it is in fact rather easy to spot using a Firefox Plugin called “NoDoFollow” which colour codes do follow and no follow links.  So, if people check whether it’s worth their while leaving a comment and establish the link back to their site will be no follow then they won’t bother.

So, how do you make the necessary changes to the Wordpress coding to overcome this?  Easy!  Install and activate a simple (free) plugin called “dofollow” – you can find it HERE!

OnlineIncome4Idiots does of course support do follow comments.  So leave a comment now and have a free back link to your site on me!  Be warned though, it needs to add value or I won’t approve it!

OK, so a bit more on NicheBlueprint.  Module 5 was released on Monday and it’s all about installing and setting up your ecommerce store front.  The software has been released and published in their members area and the new videos are all about the installation and set up process.  The videos have been done quite well as the installation process is actually quite complex if you’ve never installed something onto your server before and set up an SQL database.  It’s literally just a set of step  by step instructions.

However, I switched off midway through.  Why?  Because, in my opinion the store front is UGLY and not possible to customise.  For ecommerce more than anything I think that it is so critical to create a highly professional looking store as customers tend to associate the quality of your site with the quality of the service that you offer.  My favourite alternative is Wordpress (because of the huge variety of free and highly professional looking templates).  Although it’s primary focus is blogging Wordpress can easily be turned into an online shop using the WP Ecommerce plugin (also free).

One of the complications that has been introduced into NicheBlueprint is the requirement to have an SSL Certificate on your server.  I just can’t understand why this is necessary if you are using Paylpal to accept payments (which is what they are recommending) as payments are processed on Paypal’s site and not your own.  I’m just wandering whether this is a deliberate complication thrown in to encourage members to subscribe to their recommended hosting package which comes with a free SSL Certificate (only if you subscribe via their own link of course).  Maybe I’m being a bit cynical.  However, I can’t help feeling that there may be ulterior motives behind this recommendation…

I have now watched the lastest set of NicheBlueprint videos – Modules 3 and 4 went live last week.  As promised I wanted to post to update you with my thoughts.  I’m not going to reveal everthing that I’ve learnt as this wouldn’t be fair on the guys.  However, I just want to update you on my general impressions.

My previous post was quite critical of the product having just seen Modules 1 and 2 and the dropshipper directory that they have put together.  Having seen the latest videos I’m a little more positive about the product.  Modules 3 and 4 covered finding products to sell, pricing products and finding domains.  Once again the information is way too oversimplistic for anybody that has previous experience and in all honesty nothing much was new to me.  I guess this has to be expected as some subscribers will have no experience of internet marketing.  Neverthless as it approaches Modules 5 and 6 (the key Modules from my point of view) which cover setting up the ecommerce store front and search engine optimisation it is starting to bubble.

The only thing that’s lacking at the moment is meat.  The way that they have structured the course is in fact very clever.  It’s been done as series of videos which is a clever way of stretching out the content and creating the impression that it contains more information than it really does.  I think that what we’ve learnt so far in all honesty could have been summed up in a 10 page ebook if they were to focus on the key facts.  Nevertheless, they are very good at connecting with their audience and creating a good impression.  Steve Clayton has a really infectious personality and it has to be said that he is a joy to watch and listen to.  It does seem to me like they are trying really hard.  Time will tell.

Anyway, that’s it.  Sorry if this was a bit briefer than you were hoping for but there really isn’t that much else to say.  Module 5 goes live on 27th January.  I’ll post again when I’ve had the chance to go through the videos.

If you’re into ecommerce or want to get into it then one of the biggest hurdles is trying to find wholesalers or dropshippers that you can use to source products to promote on your site.  Find these companies is sometimes like trying to find a needle in a haystack as their SEO is not always particularly good meaning that you cannot always find them in the search engines.  However, fortunately there are some companies that do nothing but create lists of wholesalers and dropshippers that you can approach.  You normally have to pay to get access to the top lists.  However, $200 or so doesn’t seem like a bad investment if you think about the many weeks (or months!) of work that this will save you.  In my opinion if you are serious about ecommerce then access to one of the best of these sites is quite simply a must.

I have joined many.  Some of these were complete and utter junk and a real waste of money.  There is one however that is absolutely out of this world.  It’s called ESOURCES – click here.  It really is absolutely fantastic and I have nothing but praise for it.  For example, take dropshippers.  The site lists 284 dropshippers that are based in the UK and 1801 (YES! 1801) international dropshippers that are prepared to supply to the UK.  But what if your’re not based in the UK?  No problem – the international suppliers section is all that you will need if you are based in the US or elsewhere.  There are tens of thousands of conventional wholesalers and once you have joined you also get free access (yes FREE access) to some fantastic ecourses and articles which guide your through some of the key steps in establishing an ecommerce website whether it’s via dropshipping or conventional fulfillment.  You can also sign up for lifetime membership which is quite frankly an absolute steal and you never need to pay again.  If you want to test it than you can sign up for monthly membership which really is very little.

Anyway CLICK HERE to see the site.  It’s too cheap at the moment in comparison to the competitors and I have heard rumours that prices are likely to go up quite significantly.  If you are interested then please please(!) sign up today to take advantage of the current prices.

It’s also great for niche research and you’ll come across ideas and products that you never even new existed.  I have learnt so much and generated so many ideas just by sitting down and looking through the supplier and product databases.

One other research tool that you will find invaluable is a forum called dropshipforum. Full of great hints and tips.  If you are unsure about using a particular dropshipper then post and ask whether others have any experience with them.  It’s a great, FREE resource.

A couple of years ago, ecommerce was the big thing.  Everybody was jumping onto the band wagon and putting up an online store simply because it suddenly became very easy to do this whether via an ecommerce shopfront provided by hosting companies, or other cheap or free alternatives.  I think it then then gradually declined with online entrepeurs preferring to focus on affiliate marketing (because it’s easier).  However, I think that with the launch of Niche Blueprint there has been a flurry of activity and people are now considering using the skills learnt through affiliate marketing to promote an online store.

That’s all well and good.  However, please please please please please don’t waste your time trying to compete with the big boys.  I quite often see people writing in forums about not making any money via their new online shop.  And more often than not it’s due to the fact that they are entering a very competitive niche and are therefore unable to compete with the other multimillion dollar marketing machines like sites run by big highstreet names or other shops with a huge online presence.  Gifts, books, jewellery, DVDs, music etc – no chance unless you can find a long tail niche keyword with little search engine competition or SEO optimisation.

I think that the key message is, if you want to make money via ecommerce, you can’t sell what you want.  Your niche should be 100% driven by the market and levels of competition.  You are a thousand times more likely to sell something a little obscure than selling products which are all over the net.  The key to success is keyword research, keyword research and more keyword research.

Just a word about Ebay.  It’s something I have never focussed on seriously so please take what I’m about to say with a pinch of salt.  If you know otherwise then please add a comment.  However, my impression is that millions of people sell on ebay as a hobby, often for a few cents profit at a time.  Do you really want to enter a market like this?  Do you really want the hastle of selling physical products and the associated problems (holding stock, delivering good, customer complaints, customer returns, defective goods etc etc) for tiny profits?  I think that there are much easier ways to earn money

I was having a read through some articles on Ezinearticles the other day checking out some of the competition and trying to generate some ideas.  I love doing this not just because it’s helpful, but because some of the sites that you find in the resource boxes are truly dreadful. Sometimes I come across some that are so horrendous that I just can’t stop myself from laughing out loud!  Click here for an example – you’ll need the sound on to truly appreciate it!  What a plonker – why invest so much time and effort marketing a site like this!?  He will never generate any sales.

And the shocking truth is that it’s so common.  I see so many posts in make money online forums from people asking why their site is not making any money.  Not targetting keywords is probably the most common problem.  However, the second most common problem is completely and utterly dreadful websites. 

I have read some theories that the uglier a website the better the clickthrough to your affiliate offers.  However, I completely disagree.  A good quality site is so important to instill trust and confidence in your readers.

In my opinion  there is just no substitute for Wordpress because it’s just so easy to generate a good looking site.  Free professionally designed templates and it’s just so easy to add content.  It’s even easier than posting and article.  Whether you want to create static websites, dynamic websites or ecommerce websites you can use Wordpress. 

The only possible exception is PPC marketing because it’s difficult to track your keywords if your not a technical guru.  And also large ecommerce sites.  However, for everything else it’s just fantastic.

Anyway, what’s the moral to this post?  A lot of people are quite frankly just too stupid to make money online.  Appearance is everything!  Create junk and you will make no money.  Which is great for us idiots.  If you know how to put up a good looking website (and I’ve just told you how) it’s very easy to stand out from the competition.

Well, if this post caught your eye then I have already illustrated the point that I am trying to make in this post.  I didn’t lose any money by the way and this title is purely fictional.  However, what I hope to demonstrate is that it is much easier to catch someone’s attention with bad news than good news.

What’s the relevance of this?  Well, in fact I believe that this is potentially a very significant observation.  Our goal as online marketers is attract the attention of consumers using whatever means are necessary and make as much money as we can!  Whether you are into article marketing, pay per click marketing, email marketing or whatever, catching the attention of a reader is very important.  And, if you stick with conventionally positive titles then your ad, article, email etc will just blend in with all the others.

To a certain extent this has already been discovered.  For example, go onto Google and type in the name of your favourite make money online product and just look how many pages have titles like “[x] is a scam” or “don’t by [x] until you have read this first.”  It’s so common place now in fact that I think that people are largely immune to it and just ignore it.  However, there are so many other possibilities based on this concept waiting to be exploited.

Don’t get me wrong.  There are times where this may not be sensible.  Take pay per click adverts for example.  if you adopt this approach will you just attract curious surfers or will you attract targetted traffic?  I don’t have an answer to this question and think that it’s going to depend on the the niche.  However, to counter this I would propose that anybody that interested in a problem is also interested in a solution.

It’s also worth noting that this is a technique already employed in many other industries.  Take newspapers for example.  How many front page headlines are worded positively?  Virtually none.  And in fact would you buy them if they reported nothing but good news?  I suspect that you and many other wouldn’t.

Bad news is intriguing, thought provoking and most importantly of all attention grabbing.  People love bad news!

Please comment if you have tried this approach.  I would love to hear from you.

Just a quick post to highlight the importance of creating a privacy page for your blog or website.  This is really important if you incorporate certain advertising sources onto your site as you want to completely fulfil their terms and conditions.  Having privacy page is also important for your seach engine rankings.  However, writing one is a bit of a drag!  It’s a pain in fact!  Where on earth do you start and what do you need to incorporate?  Do you need to study the terms and conditions of your advertisers to establish precisely what you need to write and what you need to cover?

Well, no you don’t.  And here’s a great tip that I got from month 2 of TheNicheBlogger.  All you have to do is go to the SERP Rank Privacy Policy Generator, enter a few brief details about your website and contact email address, select the advertisers that you use to monetise your blog and it generates the text for you automatically.  Then all you need to do is create a privacy page and copy and paste the generated text.  It’s as easy as that!  Make sure that you do it!  You don’t want to get your accounts banned!

There are loads of simple and highly valuble tips like this every month in TheNicheBlogger.  It’s a great product whether your new blogging or have previous experience in blogging.  One of the greatest aspects is that unlike many other internet marketing gurus Amy Bass actually makes money via non-internet marketing related blogs so you are actually learning from somone that makes a full time income from doing what she is teaching.  Up to you of course but if I had to recommend one source for teaching yourself how to create and monetise blogs it would be this one.  Go check it out!

Yahoo Answers – You’re Banned!

I am annoyed.  Really really annoyed.  I was generating some backlinks last weekend for a content site with loads and loads of information it.  And from creating the site it’s a niche that I now know a lot about.  So, went to Yahoo Answers, found a question to respond to, included a several paragraph response with a link to my site in the resource box.  And guess what happened that evening  – my account was suspended.

I just can’t understand why.  There are so many blatently promotional posts throught Yahoo Answers.  I just included one really helpful response with a link to my site via the resources section.  It wasn’t solicitating and the response was generally a summary of the content on my site.  The content of my site also isn’t overly promitional – just some PPC and a couple of affiliate links with loads of great content.

I wrote to them asking why and got the standard response back saying that they can do what they like.  Well so can I.  And Yahoo, in return YOU are officially banned.  I will not be adding any content to Yahoo Answers again and I hope that others will follow.  You cannot expect people to create content for you to monetise for nothing in return.

Email marketing is a great way to maximise your income.  Capture emails via an optin page in return for a free ebook or the like and then slowly build up a relationship with your subscribers with rock solid help and advice.  Then monetise via the occasional affiliate offer.  I subscribe to many lists as a learning experience more than anything, to establish the email marketing techniques used by the gurus.  However, you would be surprised (or perhaps you wouldn’t) at how dreadful some of these can be.

There are some lists that are just one affiliate offer after another.   No helpful advice whatsoever.  Just product review after product review (which are all positive of course) and affiliate links scattered 3, 4 or 5 times throught the email.  This isn’t what I want.  I sign up for information.  I am more than capable of finding products that meet my needs myself.  Of course, as an internet marketer I understand that there is always a alterior motive to email marketing.  However, if I subscribe to a list I expect and little in return for being a part of that list.  And if I am impressed by what I have heard then I may oblige by purchasing when an appropriate product comes along and I trust the opinion of the reviewer.  If the first email that I get after subscribing to a list is promotional, that’s it, I unsubscribe.  If I get 2 or more promotional offers in a row, then again I unsubscribe.

Marketers that adopt these overly promotional techniques really frustrate me as they spoil the party for the rest of us.  And indeed, based on my own experiences people are becoming more and more immune to these promotional offers immediately sticking them in the junk folder or unsubscribing once they have got the free product or incentive they were promised.  For those of us that do try to offer something helpful it’s becoming more and more difficult to get users to read the emails that we send out as they automatically assume that they are junk or spam.

The other thing that really annoys me is that if I subscribe to a course which is promised to be the complete package, the only package that I will ever need, and then receive email after email about other products which “complement” the package that I purchased.  Sorry, but no.  I am paying you to teach me, not to tell me where to find others to teach me.  If you have found an information product that’s so great then buy it yourself, pick out the key materials and then teach me about them yourself. 

There is a lot more to email marketing than pestering people.  This really doesn’t work.  It needs to be a two way mutually beneficial realtionship.

OK, so after a bit of a strop in Warrior Forum (see previous post and comments) I thought blow it, I’ll buy it. I’m a monthly member at Commission Blueprint (which I just unsubscribed from in fact) which was actually pretty good (until the guys completely and utterly lost interest) so I had, and still have similar hopes for Niche Blueprint. Why did I buy? Well, firstly for being a monthly member on Commission Blueprint I got a huge discount. Secondly, believe it or not I am actually quite interested in what software they are proposing we use to publish an online shop. I have been researching some of the free alternatives (osCommerce, ZenCart, ecommerce plugin for Wordpress, ecommerce plugins for Drupal etc) and they are not that easy to use. Thirdly, I’m really interested to see what they have to say about SEO. Finally I really do believe that there is money to be made in selling Niche products. In fact, if you own a copy of MicroNicheFinder you will realise precisely how easy these profitable Niches are to find.

Anyway, there are two modules on the NicheBlueprint website and so far the content can be summed up as stating the obvious. After several videos all they have literally done is suggested methods for generating ideas like checking magazine titles and showed us how to use an expensive piece of software called Market Samurai for finding Niches. I’ll stick to MicroNicheFinder thanks! So far the videos have been a little slow.  DropshipBluerint was also released today. This is their supposedly highly valuable list of dropshippers. I think that they have valued it at $300 or something ridiculous like that.  Anyway, I’m not overly impressed so far. What was I expecting? Well, something like esources.co.uk which is, quite frankly, a lot better, more usable and considerably cheaper than what has been published so far.  It is however ever growing and could improve with time.

There is still a lot of the course to go, but so far I am a bit disappointed.  The next Modules are due to go live on 19th Jan.  I’ll post again with my thoughts then.

One of the questions that I am often asked is what the best affilate marketing tool is. This is a difficult question. However, in my opinion the key to affiliate marketing is keywords. If your into PPC marketing then the goal is to find high converting keywords that you can bid on for a reasonable return. If you’re into free organic traffic the goal of course is to focus on keywords where there’s not too much competition to ensure that you’re site doesn’t get lost in amoungst the gazillions of other sites on the net. If you get it wrong then your affiliate marketing endeavours are going to fail as nobody will find your site and you are not going to make money online.

OK, so based on the above you won’t be surprised to hear that I am going to recommend a keyword tool. And based on my own experiences the best is MicroNicheFinder (CLICK HERE). It is a truly awesome tool which reduces the time spent doing keyword research from hours or days to minutes. Seriously! It’s difficult to explain how it works. However, basically you enter a keyword and the tool will return a range of possible options and return key information including how many searches are completed, how many competing sites there are for the keyword, how likely the keyword is to result in a sale and, most importantly of all, a traffic light system indicating your changes of ranking well on Google (based on the quality of SEO of other competing sites). The system even automatically suggests affiliate products that you can promote to based on your keyword of interest. And heaps of other fantastic stuff. It avoids days or weeks of wasted time and effort focussing on the wrong keywords. It therefore pays for itself many times over (and it’s pretty cheap anyway!)

If nothing else just check out the site – here it is again: MicroNicheFinder (CLICK HERE). I would urge you to enter your name and email address at the bottom of the page. You will then be directed to several vidoes that explain precisely how the product works. These are awesome. And even if you don’t want to invest in the product some of the (FREE) tips that you see in here can be readiliy implemented into your other projects to make good money, regardless of whether you decide to buy the product or not.

Anyway, MicroNicheFinder (CLICK HERE) in my opinion is the best affiliate marketing tool by a mile. Check it out now! Yes – I do own a copy and I use it every single day.

Before I start I just want to point out that I found this in TheNicheBlogger forum (CLICK HERE).  I could literally fill about 300 posts with similar golden nuggets of information.  Whether you’re into blogging or not this is a truly fantastic course.  Many things that you will learn are not just applicable to blogging but are readiliy transferable to other make money online methods.

Anyway, back to the subject of the post.  As internet marketers our skill is in monetisation and not content.  Although most of us are more than capable of writing there are many highly profitable niches that we just know nothing about.  And therein lies the problem.  Shoud we spend days learning about a niche to create content for our sites or is our time better spent creating ways of monetising our idea?  I would suggest the latter.

So what do you do?  The answer of course is to pay someone else to write the content for you.  This is normally very very expensive and takes significant chunks out of what you could hope to earn.  Not all projects are successful either so you could end up significantly out of pocket.  The answer therefore is to find cheap sources of content.  This is easier said than done.  Many writers charge $15 per article or more.  So with a site containing 60 articles this is a huge upfront investment.

However, fellow idiots, I am going to share with you something that could make you a lot of money.  I know somewhere where you can get 250 word articles for just $1.50 each.  I have not tried it yet.  But at this cost it’s just a no brainer.  I have however read some very positive reviews about this company elsewhere on the net.  OK, so you should aim for about 300 words to be optimum for SEO.  No problem though – just pad them out a bit which is very easy to do.

So who is it?  Please tell me!

Mmmm…should I or shouldn’t I?  Maybe I should just keep this to myself….

OK – you win.  Here’s the link: http://www.contentarts.net

Remember to check out TheNicheBlogger (CLICK HERE) though.  There are far far better money making tips contained in the course…

Hello idiots! Let’s do an experiment together – it’ll be fun! Open up your web browser, go onto Google and do a search for the term “Click Here.” Have a look at what comes up. Now open up the site that occupies the number one spot (I’m not going to tell you what it is as it will spoil the experiment). Now have a look and see whether you can find “Click Here” listed anywhere on that page. I bet you can’t!

Now if you have read much about search engine optimisation you should find this result quite confusing. All the SEO gurus tell you that you MUST include your target keyword in the heading text, in your first sentence, throughout your article with a keyword density of about 2% and then in the final paragraph. But, this site is listed at the top of Google and the keyword doesn’t occur anywhere on the page!? Why? The reason fellow idiots is anchor text.

For this site there are about a gazillion “Click Here”s on other sites on the net with anchor text pointing to the site. So, Google thinks that the term “Click Here” must be very very relevant to this site and consequently gives it the number 1 spot. So fellow idiots, don’t forget what you already know about SEO. However, just bear in mind that optimising the content of your page or site is just one thing that you need to consider. Backlinks via anchor text using your chosen keyword(s) are extremely important.

So, how do you go about splattering the web with anchor text using your chosen keyword linking to your site or blog? Article marketing of course. BUT, article marketing takes ages and submitting the same article to multiple sites is no good because of the duplicate content penalty!? It’s going to be tedious isn’t it? No! I’m going to tell you the easy way! In fact, the most powerful method that I know of.

The tool is UNIQUEARTICLEWIZARD (CLICK HERE). All you have to do is write an article and use the tool to create unique articles which are submitted to THOUSANDS of sites automatically. And even more importantly each article is unique. Yes – unique! And even more importantly still you have complete control over how many articles are submitted a day to stop your site from getting sandboxed by Google for spamming. I can’t tell you how it works because it’s top secret and you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement when you sign up. However, it seriously rocks!

I only recommend products that I have personally used myself. And trust me. If you want to get to the top of the search engines UNIQUEARTICLEWIZARD (CLICK HERE) will pay for itself several times over if you use it correctly. If you just purchase one internet marketing product this year buy this one!

Making Money Online During a Recession

Everywhere you look it’s doom and gloom.  Banks going bust, highstreet legends disappearing and people using their houses and jobs.  Yes – the bubble has burst and life is now a lot tougher.  And if people have less money in their pockets it’s more difficult to sell stuff which makes life a lot more difficult for internet marketers like us idiots!  So what do you do?

Well, firstly, the situation isn’t that bad (based on my experiences anyway).  My affiliate sites are continuing to do just fine (although I have seen a significant reduction in profits).  However, there is a great way to continue to make money regardless of the state of the world economy.  What is it?  Well here’s a clue.  Even if people aren’t buying they will continue to use and search the web.

Have you got it yet?  Ok, the clue was a little obscure.  However, if people are continuing to surf they will continue to click on ads and if people continue to click on ads then there is your source of income.  Adwords, Kontera, it doesn’t matter.  If you can get the traffic to your site people will click on your ads and you’ll earn.  It’s a numbers game.  And what’s one of the the best way to get traffic?  BLOGGING!

Ok, so how the hell do you set up a blog, how do you get traffic to your site and how to you monetise it? 

Well, I could explain it all here.  But I don’t have to.  There’s a fantastic story unfolding on a popular forum called Warriorforum at the moment that’s been written by a guy hoping to set up a new site and earn $100 a day within 3 months via Adsense.  Here’s the link (CLICK HERE) – check it out, it’s free.  At the time of writing it’s quite a young post.  However, it promises to be very interesting.  There is heaps of highly valuble information in this post already – stuff which you would normally have to pay for.  So check it out – it’s entirely free!  Using the methods revealed in this post you could earn a lot of money.  And the best thing?  It’s so so easy to rinse and repeat!

OK, so I’ve said in previous posts that making money online takes alot of hard work and effort and there is no true get rich quick scheme that you can find ANYWHERE on the internet.  Right!?  So how come I’m now saying that making money online is easy?  Fellow idiots, have I confused you?  Allow me to explain.

The ONLY way to make money quickly online is via PPC (pay per click ) marketing.  You don’t need to worry about SEO and you don’t need to worry about Google ranking.   You could put up a site tomorrow, start a PPC campaign the day after and get thousands of hits within a few hours.  And, with a mediocre website and reasonable product you WILL make sales – it’s a numbers game.  In fact, making lots of money very quickly is very easy.

But there’s a but, a very big but in fact.  Making a profit is more difficult.  Why?  Because PPC marketing is very competitive and very expensive.  If you chose the wrong keywords and set your bids incorrectly then you stand to lose a lot of money.  Believe me I’ve done it!  However, if you get it just right the opposite applies – huge profit very quickly.  Again, believe me, I’ve done it!

What’s the key to PPC marketing?  The key fellow idiots is keywords.  You need to identify keywords that convert at an acceptable price.  And the key to this is keyword tracking – i.e. establishing which keywords convert into sales and give a reasonable return after advertising costs.  They key to PPC marketing is  experience and/or learning the tricks from other experienced marketers.  I would suggest that latter as you will save yourself a LOT of money.

The best product on the market is a product called Commission Blueprint (CLICK HERE) which gives you step by step instructions on how to make an absolute killing via PPC marketing.  I have purchased the course myself and it is phenominal.  It is literally a complete Blueprint revealing exactly what you need to do to set up and run succesful PPC campaigns.  Unlike most products it leaves no stone unturned.  It even tells you what products to promote and where to find them.  You also get access to an absolutely priceless forum which is worth the investment in itself.  If PPC is not for you then then’s product’s not really appropriate.  However, if you are interested in making quick cash from PPC marketing then you have to have this product.  It truly is the holy grail of PPC marketing and I love it!
