Wednesday
Aug 27, 2008
StoreStacker’s Final Launch will be on Thursday August 28th at 12:00 PM U.S. Eastern Standard Time! YES, that means TODAY!
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few months then you have probably already heard about HalfAgain’s StoreStacker software. If you have been looking for the ultimate in Affiliate Store building software, than this PHP script is for you. With StoreStacker you can instantly create Affiliate Store after Affiliate Store with popular Affiliate Programs like Ebay, Amazon, Clickbank, RegNOW, Overstock.com, and more!
Imagine creating thousands of Niche Affiliate Product stores populated with products from all of these Affiliate Programs instantly, and auto updating to keep fresh content, add RSS Feeds, and use keywords to add YouTube videos to add to you unique content driven, Search Engine Optimized (SEO) website.
With StoreStacker this is all possible, but this is the last time they will be offering the software. Why? Because they do not want to flood the market. This would minimize the impact of the Affiliate stores built with StoreStacker. HalfAgain wants to ensure that the software package and associated plugins retain their value long after the product is purchased.
I was one of the first testers of this software and I now currently have over 50 Niche Affiliate stores built with StoreStacker. I use Google Adwords and Social Bookmarking (Bookmarking Demon) to drive traffic to my sites and I am currently making around $6000/ month using this technique. Once you build them, they are really a set and forget enterprise. You can search high and low and I guarantee you will not find a better software package or one that can do everything this one can do for the price.
StoreStacker has gone through 2 major updates, including additions of a number of new features (free to all customers):
- StoreStacker stores can be set to automatically update – making your sites more sticky and completely hands-free.
- Users can now create a StoreStacker widget that can be placed on any outside site they want, displaying products from their StoreStacker stores.
- 12 site templates come with every purchase.
- 50+ page user manual that covers absolutely every facet of StoreStacker’s setup and use.
- More search engine optimized with tag clouds for popular products on every page.
- Amazon’s lowest price is displayed – resulting in higher clickthrough rates.
- You can choose any products to be ‘featured’, bringing more
attention and eyeballs to the products you want.
There are a lot of other products which can do one or two of the things StoreStacker can do, but none that can do it all.
This is your Last Chance! Bookmark this site now and click over to StoreStacker’s website tomorrow for the Final Launch! Do not miss this opportunity. I guarantee you will be satisfied! I haven’t recommended any product this year higher than StoreStacker!
Forum Poster 3 Review
Monday
Aug 25, 2008
If you have been looking for a way to increase your backlinking power across Forums then I would say that Forum Poster Version 3 is a decent way to do it. The reason I say deecnt and not awesome is because een though Forum Poster can post to multiple Forum scripting platforms, there are other issues to deal with.
The current version can post to:
1. phpBB Forum Boards from version 2.0.0 to 2.0.23 (http://www.phpbb.com/)
2. phpBB 3.0 “Olympus” Beta 5 (http://www.phpbb.com/development/)
3. Invision Power Board (http://www.invisionboard.com/)
4. Snitz Forums 2000 (http://forum.snitz.com/)
5. vBulletin 3 (http://www.vbulletin.com/)
6. Simple Machines Forum (http://www.simplemachines.org/)
7. WoltLab Burning Board 2.x to 3.x (http://www.woltlab.de/index_en.php)
8. WowBB (http://www.wowbb.com/)
An impressive list to say the least, but what complicates this is that most high end Forums, like the Digital Point Forums, SiteGround, etc., have anti-spam or anti-auto posting security software installed on their sites to stop software scripts like Forum Poster from working. So getting high PR backlinks from Forums must be done manually for the most part.
After trying this software, I was still able to populate quite a few backlinks from a large number of Forums on the web. In fact, way more than I thought I was going to. I populated around 2000 backlinks in 3 days of moderate work with the software which searches Forums based on keywords and brings up a list for you to auto post to.
You can Try Forum Poster for Free and see that it is very effective for low PR sites.
To get more information on the script, go here.
The software is not that expensive and can do what it advertises effectively. I haven’t found a comparable alternate, so for right now, Forum Poster is it. It will definitely increase your Backlinks for enhanced SEO.
Free VideoStacker Software Puts YouTube Video on AutoPilot!
Friday
Aug 22, 2008
If you a regular visitor here at Black Hat Software then you already know how big a fan I am of all of the software products from the Scott and omar over at HalfAgain. Their StoreStacker software package (which has grown to twice the size of the original launch) will be opening its doors for one final product offering on August 28th. If you haven’t seen this product or purchased it yet, this will be the last time they offer it for sale since they see the potential for flooding the market and making the “unique” affiliate store it can create obsolete if too many people are using it. So I highly recommend being prepared for the launch. I don’t know how many packages they are offering, but they only offered 1000 for the first launch and only 100 since then, so if you think this sounds like a limited time only offering, then you are right. Make sure you jump on this right away.
That brings me too the new software HalfAgain is offering for Free; VideoStacker. Yes, it is 100% Free and it is meant as a primer for their StoreStacker software. The intent is to show the awesome power and potential you can get from StoreStacker after you see how great the VideoStacker software is.
I was fully expecting somthing simple and cheasy; and it is simple. You can take this script (PHP) and instantly add YouTube videos to your website OR blog. It is really good plugin for Wordpress, or any other blog, or if you want to quickly add videos to your existing website. The main thing I like about this software is one: Its Free; and two; you can add YouTube videos to your site automatically by KEYWORD. Just pop in your keyword or keywords and you will get videos from YouTube that match your criteria. That is basically it. Simple and to the point.
Wordpress Auto Installer Review
Friday
Aug 8, 2008
The one consistant problem with most of the Wordpress Auto Installers on the market are they have a hard time keeping up with Wordpress upgrades. Some would say that when creating a blog farm, or a large number of blogs, using the most recent version isn’t important, I would argue that keeping your blogs up to date also ahows change and improvement to the Search Engines, which in turn makes your blogs look more natural because they are being updated and upgraded.
I have used the Wordpress Super Installer proviously, but it has not been upgraded since 2007 and I am not sure that I want to trust anyone who just sells a product to sell it and doesn’t update it regularly. I have standards when it comes to spending my hard earned cash in this regard.
I already use several of Mass Automation’s products, in fact I regularly use WP Cloner when I install a new site with Wordpress. The problem is the installations take awhile, even with Fantastico on cPanel and I like to install multiple blogs fast for my individual projects.
I normally do it with Fantastico, but when I saw this new Wordpress Plugin, I thought I would give it a go. Yes, I said this is a Wordpress Plugin, not a stand alone script.
Like I said before, I already use WP Cloner which allows me to clone the settings from any pre-existing Wordpress Blog and transfer them to another blog. You can transfer the setting, Plugins, and Themes from one blog to another activated or not. There are a bunch of options to choose from and I like this since it is nice to be able to switch settings depending on the type of blog I plan on creating.
The reason I expained so much about WP Coner is because Wordpress Auto Installer acts as a companion product to this very well. Mass Automation is also bundling their new Wordpress Auto Upgrade Plugin with the Auto Installer as a companion product to aid in keeping your blogs up to date. This goes back to what I said before about keeping your blogs looking fresh and up to date.
Anyway, I installed the Wordpress Auto Installer Plugin in 5 minutes and within an hour and a half I had created around 50 blogs. I could have used the batch feature and auto created blogs, but I spent time naming each blog and specifying certain things I wanted for SEO purposes. I still had to add the blogs into the Remote Blogs Plugin and I started adding each blog in one by one so I could Clone my blog settings into the new Wordpress installations I had created, when I realized I could upload a CSV file of the same clone job I wanted to do and could have done it when I installed the blogs. (If I would have read the instructions included with the pluign I would have known this already, HA!)
After I fixed this, I re-installed my blogs with the cloned settings I had from my base blog, I was well on my way to success. It is a solid program. Is it the best I have ever used, yes, because it is the only solid, up to date installer I have used. Is it perfect? No, it could use some improvements, but if you want to create 50-100 Wordpress blogs in an hour with all of your settings already done, then you have to buy WP Cloner and Wordpress Super Installer unfortunately.
Mass Automation has now just released another Plugin which goes with this and it is called WP Blaster. It is essentially Blog Poster on steriods (If you haven’t used Blogger Generator, then you should, Blog Poster comes with it and can Post to multiple Wordpress Blogs as well as Blogger.com Blogs.) I haven’t used WP Blaster, but it claims to be able to quickly post to mutpile Wordpress Blog installations quickly. It has been paired up (another companion product) with the Synonymizer Plugin which will use a list of Synonyms to make your articles unique, PLR or otherwise. This is another Plugin I have not used, but sounds like a decent addition to WP Blaster. I personally think Mass Automation should bundle all of these products and sell them as one Super Wordpress Plugin, but that’s just me.
Overall, I would have to say it is a good product, but I am still looking for something a little better. (That doesn’t mean I’m not using it, because I still am. HA!)
cPanel Hosting for Black Hat Websites
Monday
Aug 4, 2008
If you are looking for solid, low cost web hosting for your Black Hat Websites (Money Sites, Blogs, etc.), there are a few factors in your decision making process you need to be aware of.
First; only use cPanel Hosting. If you don’t know what cPanel Hosting is, go to either cPanel.net or The cPanel Host.com. cPanel (currently at version 11) is a Control Panel which gives you the flexibility to do everything you could possibly want to do with your websites and do it quickly. For example, 95% of cPanel installations either come with a Fantastico or SimpleScripts installation (or both). What these allow you to do is quickly install some of the web’s most powerful programs with a single click. (Wordpress, Drupal, Gallery 2, etc.) The bottom line is, there are too many features to list, but there are no other Control Panels which provide the tools you need in a PHP/ Perl/ CGI environment to successfully and economically run your Black Hat websites.
There are two types of web hosts you will require when building your Black Hat empire. Most Black Hat SEO enthusiests like to have Blogs and Money sites on two types of servers. My personal preference is to keep my money sites, which tend to get banned or get recycled faster on a web host which I don’t care much about (Shared Hosting). I place my blogs and any White Hat sites I have on a more secure, dedicated platform (VPS/ Reseller Hosting).
The key thing to remember with your VPS or Reseller accounts is that you want a web hosting service which allows oyu to have multiple Class “C” IP’s. This means that once Google spiders one of your sites, the GoogleBot will not relate one of your websites to the others because they all have different IP Addresses (Class C). Some would ask, well then why not have all of your websites on the VPS or Reseller Hosting account? You never want to put all your eggs in one basket and a shared account with a major service will not get the scrutiny from Google that small companies will get due to the sheer volumen of sites hosted on some of the better web hosts out there.
- Shared Hosting: HostMonster - You will not find a better Shared Hosting service for Black Hat SEO and Black Hat Money sites. This service provides unlimited space, bandwidth, domains, and email accounts all for $6.95/ Month. The number of features and the upgrades to their cPanel installation is heads and tails above other comparable hosts. I have been with them for three years now and I know of none better as far as features and cost are concerned.
- VPS/ Reseller Hosting: eBoundHost - This hosting service provides Shared Hosting, VPS, and Dedicated Hosting services. I only use their VPS/ Reseller Hosting service due to its price to features ratio and the account size. Very few hosts will give you the amount of hosting space (100-300GB) that eBoundHost provides in their VPS Virtual Private Server) accounts. Most accounts of this type will only come with around 10-25GB of space for the entire account. This hosting account also comes with a lot of the same features listed above for HostMonster, but the number one reason to like eBoundHost is the Customer Service. They have the best Customer Service and Support of any host I have ever been with. You will get answers from them within minutes of asking a question sometimes. As a Black Hatter, you tend to have issues that need fixing from time to time when running some of the great Black Hat Software we like to run. Also, you get multiple Class “C” IP Addresses which makes Google think that each one of your domains is a single website, not associated with your other sites. This makes your Blog Farms and other sites inter-link strategy easier and more powerful than if you were linking a bunch of sites with the same IP address.
So there you have it. If you are looking for Web Hosting for Black Hat SEO purposes, here are two tried and true answers which have already been used extensively and successfully.
Top 3 Must Have Products for Affiliate Marketing
Friday
Aug 1, 2008
It doesn’t matter if you are a Black Hat enthusiest or all of your websites are stricly White Hat platforms; there are only a few ways to really make big money on the internet with any consistancy.
- Affiliate Programs (Affiliate Marketing)
- Google Adsense
- Google Adwords
With Affiliate Programs, the profit margin and finding the right program and/ or niche is always a tough process because there is always a hot new item or product which comes on the market. Services like Clickbank and PayDotCom solve a lot of these problems because the majority of their programs provide anywhere from a 25% to 75% commission on sales. You can’t get this time of money from your top tier affiliate programs.
That’s why Affiliate Marketers like selling to other Affiliate Marketers. Bottom line is this: If you are not selling products from Affiliate Programs sponsored through Clickbank and PayDotCom, you are missing out on some serious cash.
Second, Google Adsense is arguably the highest paying advertising service on the internet. Nobody else is paying out thousands of dollars each month to individual affiliates like Google Adsense is. There are some competitors trying, but until they get the market share of search that Google has, no competitor will touch their level of profitability.
With these 2 things in mind, Affiliate Programs and Google Adsense, there is no doubt that there are tricks to the trade that only a few people have. By few, I mean several thousand savvy internet marketers. It’s not that many really when you look at the big picture. So if you want to make the type of money that the select few are making on the internet, you don’t need a new ebook every other month that says its the next best thing. What you need is professional advice from real professionals showing you how to do what it is they do to make “REAL” money on the internet.
Then you have the tool which is making this all happen each and every day for thousands of Affiliate Marketers: Google Adwords. Google Adwords is the tool through which you can instantly bring guaranteed and targeted traffic to your Affiliate or Google Adsense links (through Arbitrage) which can make you three times more money through these programs than by normal SEO and other advertising alone.
So, if I am starting out in this very complicated business, what tools should I use to BEST learn how to make money with Affiliate Marketing?
Let’s take a look:
- The Super Affiliate Handbook - What makes this product so special? Easy. It is written by a marketing profesisonal. It comes with a Handbook, but more importantly it provides you a roadmap to actually making money from Affiliate Programs step by step. This product is updated regularly to keep the information current. Screenshots are provided to show you what you need to see, so oyu aren’t just reading about it. Plus tons of other tools are provided to aid in the different techniques that are gone over in the handbook.
- Adsense Videos - The name says it all. You won’t find another Google Adsense product like this on the internet. A comprehensive video guide where the author actually tells you and simultaneously shows you exactly how to “DOMINATE” with Google Adsense and make tons of money. What you will receive is the only Adsense product on the market worth using. This product even has a money back guarantee with the sale. Nowhere else will you find a better product. You can look up other reviews on Google and you will see the street credit this guys has from this product. Definitely a must have.
- Adwords Miracle – This originally came out in 2007 and I was told by a friend that it made him $400 in just a few days off a Clickbank product he was promoting. I jumped on it and here going on two years later, I still haven’t found a better Adwords product. Everything you need to know and more about maximizing your ability to instantly make money from Adwords. In fact, I’d say if you can’t make money with Google Adwords after using this product, then you need to give up internet marketing completely because you are beyond hope. Over 200 pages of information and 50 minutes of videos to show you exactly what you need to do. No B.S., no fluff, just answers, not to mention, another money back guarantee. Don’t jump into a Commission Blueprint or Google Nemesis/Shadow program until you have learned the basics, intermediate, and advanced skills taught here.
If you take these 3 Products and you put them together and use the techniques taught in each one, you have everthing you need to know to start making ridiculous money with Affiliate programs and Adsense. You can maximize your ability to find and profit from Affiliate Programs. You then can learn how to make money from Google Adsense while marketing your Affiliate Programs. Finally you put it all together and market both with Google Adwords and become one of the few thousand savvy internet marketers I talked about before, who are actually making thousands of dollars each and every month from Affiliate Marketing.
UPDATE:
I wrote this Post quite awhile ago. Since then I have found 2 programs that really focus on the affiliate marketing side of the house with Clickbank as the focal point. Both use Adwords and Affiliate Marketing and are great “Graduate Level” tools/ techniques to use after you learn the basics with the other programs I outlined here.
- Commission Blueprint – An incredible single techniques for creating massive profits from just one Clickbank Affiliate program using Google Adwords for promotion.
- Google Nemesis – After learning the Commission Blueprint technique, this tools was like a godsend. This program automates 90% of what is talked about in Commission Blueprint and provides everything you need to profit. No additional tools required. One of the best money making programs I have ever encountered.
Try them out and let me know what you think!
