JetConvo Review: Build Forum Threads on Autopilot
Wednesday
Nov 26, 2008
If you have a forum or have been thinking of starting one and cannot seem to get it launched or cannot seem to get the search engines to notice, then JetConvo is your answer.
Just over a week ago I stumbled across this up and coming service and decided to give it a test shot. JetConvo is an extension of the Jet Spinner and Jet Submitter article spinning and article submission services. After visiting the parent website, I saw JetConvo and said to myself “What the heck is that?”
The answer is that JetConvo will create threads and automatically add answers to questions to keep the thread going over a predetermined schedule that you set. Yes, basically and Auto Forum Poster. The first question I asked was: How do they make these threads make sense and how do they match up with my forum topics?
They use pre-existing topic threads from Yahoo Answers which has millions of question and answer sessions that can work easily for any forum. I bit on this and decided to give it a whirl as you can actually create a Free Account to test the system.
I have a forum which has been basically sitting there waiting for me to add content to it or delete it. It routinely gets spammed since I don’t bother with it, so I figured it would be the perfect test bed. No harm, no foul. After just 3 days, my forum traffic quadrupled. I was expecting the Google slap right away since it is duplicate content, but so far all is good and my natural traffic, new natural threads, and member count has also quadrupled. So kudos to the creators of JetConvo for creating a solid product, which is still not completed fully by their count. The JetConvo blogs says they are still adding more and more functionality to this product and I am really stoked about it.
The service supports multiple forum platforms like vBulletin, phpBB, Simple Machines, and others. Did I also mention that you can create your own Signatures with links to whatever sites you want? The website lists the full version features as:
- Automatically populate an UNLIMITED number of forum categories on autopilot! Yes this means you can have different keyword specific posts for each sub-forum on your forum
- Have posts appear daily on a time delay so any visitor sees nothing more then an active forum that gets new posts daily by its members.
- Logical, Related, Interesting content Auto posted daily
- Complete control over post signatures
- 5000 threads & answers per day
- Unlimited sub-forum, keywords, and more
- Automatic creation of all new user accounts for posting!
- Unlimited sub-forum, keywords, and more
- Automatic creation of all new user accounts for posting!
Not a bad deal huh? For more information on JetConvo, visit the link here now.
Free Download: Authority Black Book Social Marketing Tactics
Friday
Nov 21, 2008
This past year the #1 Rated Ebook Download according to Mashable.com was The Authority Black Book: The Best Web 2.0 Resources for Generating Traffic. Now that is quite a mouthful, but when you are talking about a Social Marketing ebook being downloaded more than 40,000 times, you are truly saying something.
After running across this website and noting the “bold” statements about how great of a rating this ebook had and how it rated so well, I took it upon myself to see what all the hype was about.
I was really surprised by how in depth the Authority Black Book goes into how to use Web 2.0 sites and Social Bookmarking to increase website traffic. A lot of it is already common knowledge, but it is laid out very well. The book itself is 67 pages of material and it was just recently updated to be even more relevant instead of a bookend of old info.
The part of the book I delved into the most was the eye opening report on how to maximize your RSS reach and the Link Baiting write-up really showed how you can generate hundreds of backlinks to your websites rather easily. All White Hat.
A really good report worth reading if you are looking for a strategy on how to maximize the use of Web 2.0 and Social Bookmarking to increase traffic and backlinks to your websites.

How Do I Profit from Article Marketing?
Wednesday
Nov 19, 2008
I have had several questions in the forums over the last few weeks in reference to Article Marketing and what its value is. I have told several marketers that I personally cannot live without Article Marketing and I do not know of a single better way to create massive amounts of backlinks to my sites in a way that does not get a website banned by Google.
Now it should be known that SPAMming thousands of the SAME article to article directories and blogs over and over again will get you and the websites you are promoting banned. Make no mistake about it. I have been hit once or twice by this monster myself. There is a place for it, but not if you care about the domains you are promoting.
With Article Marketing you can create a massive amount of website traffic for websites that you point to in your “Author’s Resource Box”. It is important to only put your links there as most Article Directories that are worth submitting to will deny your article if you put links in the body of your article. This is OK for blog submissions, just not Article Directories. Using Keywords Anchor Text in your resource box is a critical part of this. Do not just point the link towards your domain unless you have a good Sales Pitch that goes with it.
Whe you can it is important, but not critical to submit unique articles to each directory you submit to. The duplicate content monster will only hit you if you are submitting a PLR article that has not been “made unique” by an article spinner. PLR articles are great, but you must spin them before you submit or you will be burned eventually.
There are several quality article spinners out there right now and each have their own submission service to go along with them. Pairing them up works well if you want to use an Auto Article Submitter, which I recommend, but it is not alway required. Submitting to 600 Article Directories with 600 Unique Articles you created from One Article is a beautiful thing and great for your designated website’s SEO and website traffic.
Here are a few of the paired Article Spinner and Article Submitters in no particular order:
- Article Apps and Article Submitter – Article Apps will spin your articles for Free, but the Paid version is twice as fast and is well worth it if you are going to do this full time which you should if you are looking to do this for a living. Article Submitter, the new version, submits to over 600 Article Directories and auto submits to around 250 I believe. This software has a lot of high PR sites listed, in fact Matt Callen prides himself on this.
- JetSpinner and JetSubmitter – JetSpinner is Free and is connected to the JetSubmitter service which is not. JetSubmitter will submit your JetSpun articles to over 300 Article Directories and they will also create 300 accounts for you so you do not have to create a single login as you do for the Article Submitter listed above. Not a bad deal. I have only just begun testing this service.
- Unique Article Wizard – A great service which helps you spin your articles and then submit them over time to almost 1000 article directories and blogs. This is one of my favorite services, but I do spin my articles before I use the function on this service because when you submit you must submit 3 completely different versions of the same article.
- Article Marketer – One of the best Article Submission services out there, if not the best. They will not submit multiple unique versions of your article, but neither will Article Submitter unless you control the submissions yourself. They will submit your articles naturally and they submit to thousands of Article Directories. A great way to push the envelope, but you have to be smart when you use this service. It can be like crack, so be careful. Ha!
The top tier Article Directories like EzineArticles and GoArticles must also be submitted to because they can bring you massive traffic through the distribution channels that use their articles. Thousands upon thousands of webmasters use their articles for content on websites across the web, so they are great at providing you that extra kick when looking for massive backlinks and traffic. Duplicate articles are expected, you just have to temper this with a little ingenuity and you will bring your designated websites or affiliate programs massive traffic and enhanced SEO.

Biggest Firesale Promotion Review: This is No Joke!
Tuesday
Nov 18, 2008
I try to never fall prey to Marketing gimmicks or the “Fire Sale” Marketing push a lot of the top marketers try to use to push sales. Ultimately it works because they make a lot of money from it. The latest in this line is the Biggest Firesale “fire sale” that has currently just launched.
I went to the sales page and was instantly hooked. Great marketing and minisite design for one thing, but the thing that really caught my eye was the product selection. I consider myself to be rather web savvy and I search the web constantly for resources and tools to push my internet marketing to the edge with both Black and White hat techniques, so it really surprised me when I saw several titles in the Biggest Firesale list that I was looking into purchasing separately.
The list of Products is the story really. I have not seen a list of first rate products like this sold at one time on the web EVER! There are almost 100 different top rate products that you can get from this purchase! Some retailing for almost $1000 on other sites!
So what did I do? I purchased it. The best purchase of the year by far. Only $97 for around 100 top quality marketing products!
The bad news is; the price on this package will go up starting November 28, 2008. So if you don’t buy the package between now and then it goes up to $197.
Check out the Biggest Firesale ever event and You’ll see why it gets my vote as the Sale of the Year!
PLR Wholesaler Review: The Best in Free PLR Content
Monday
Nov 17, 2008
If you are not familiar with Private Label Rights Content or PLR as it is most commonly referred to then you should be. Especially if you dabble in Black Hat SEO or any SEO, website building, or affiliate marketing for that matter.
Finding Content is one of the most difficult aspects of website building. Quality content for sure is difficult to find. That is where PLR Content comes in. Private Label Rights content gives you the “right” to change, add to, and rename content . It allows you to use content in any way you desire. You can create ebooks, use it as bonus offerings, or create fully functional websites (money sites) with it. Plus, there are many software products which also carry Private label Rights.
The problem these days is finding a PLR site which is actually worth the price. Well, you can’t beat Free. PLR Wholesaler is the single best PLR Source on the web. Most of its content is Free, but the Elite Membership, which is just a one time fee, is truly incredible. You get access to all of the site’s content for the life of your account with constant additions to the site. This makes it a membership worth having. No monthly fees, just constantly updating Free Content, Products, and Software. I love it. I downloaded a few “mortgage” articles that were actually dated October 2008! I checked Copyscape and there were only 15 sites which had the content. This is unheard of in PLR.
Like I said though, the Free par tof the membership has thousands of items and they are definitely quality items.
Check it out. Not even the Total Resale Package comes close.

Wordpress Auto Installer and WP Cloner Review: Updates
Wednesday
Nov 12, 2008
Mass Automation software has held it’s two top Wordpress Automation programs closely without much as in the way of updates over the last year, but in the wave of constant Wordpress.org updates they have decided to up the anty a bit. Their signature Wordpress plugins: WP Auto Installer and WP Cloner can now both be used either as plugins or as stand alone software scripts. An outstanding update which also comes with increased functionality for both programs and an enhanced programming architecture; built with the IonCube Loader for increased security and functionality.
WP Auto Installer is their signature Mass Wordpress Auto Install prorgam as the title indicates. I have previously reviewed this program and one of my sticking points with giving it a high mark was the fact that it was a Plugin for Wordpress. Well, not anymore. Now it can install as many Wordpress Blogs as you desire with the plugins, themes, and settings you choose; super fast. Now you can still use it as a Wordpress Plugin or as a stand alone program. Great upgrade! It’s about time someone comes out with one which doesn’t cost a crazy amount of money.
WP Cloner is a great companion to this. Before; as with WP Auto Installer; WP Cloner was just another Wordpress Plugin. Now you can use it as a stand alone program which can update and upload the Plugins, themes, and settings of any Wordpress Blog you choose and add those identical settings or just the plugins, themes, or settings that you choose to a completely different Wordpress blog or BLOGSSSSS! I personally use this program all the time to keep my enhanced SEO setting straight for each Wordpress Blog I create. Great Software and a Great upgrade!
The bottom line is this: Both programs were good before; now, with these upgrades, they have become truly great. Check them out and see for yourself.
Commission Blueprint Review Part 2: 1 Month Evaluation Complete
Wednesday
Nov 5, 2008
Missed out on Commission Blueprint 2 via the short one week launch? Now for a limited time you can get both Commission Blueprint 1 and 2 for one low price via the original CB 1.0 site. Take a look at the reviews here and if you decide to buy, you can get my huge $2500 Bonus Package if you buy through any link on this site. You don’t have to do anything, it is all automatic! Check out the reviews below now.
This Review goes over the original Commission Blueprint (Version 1). If you are looking for information on Commission Blueprint 2, go to the bottom of this article.
As promised, I have completed my 1 Month evaluation of the Commission Blueprint Make Money with Clickbank and Google Adwords Program. The first thing to understand is that this program is not for beginners. As I worked through the methods taught in this course I realized 2 things. Commission Blueprint is not for a Google Adwords PPC novice and to do this program you will have to be prepared to spend money. Pay Per Click (PPC) is a spend money to make money enterprise. Steve Clayton, the creator of Commission Blueprint recommends that for each campaign you create, you should budget at least $500. That is a lot of money for a novice. I budgeted $200 for my tests, but I will get into that in a minute.
If you are a novice and want to get into PPC with Google Adwords, I recommend buying the Adwords Miracle course. It was written in 2007 and recently updated, but is the essential guide for learning the ins and outs of how to make money with and use all of the tools provided with Google Adwords. Commission Blueprint is a program on how to make money with Google Adwords, but it teaches a specific and advanced series of techniques which for the beginner might be overwhelming. Plus, I don’t want to set any newbie up for failure because they didn’t undersand the complexity of Steve’s technique.
If you are an Affiliate Marketer and you are not using PPC to make money than you are really missing out. Commission Blueprint has shown me the light, but I did have to spend a little cash up front to make it happen. Here’s what I did:
The first thing Steve talks about is how to select the right Clickbank products to advertise with PPC on Adwords. Steve lays out his process for finding products that with give you not only the best chance for success, but also the best chance at not losing money right from the start. Clickbank Affiliate Programs are picked based on their actual payout for afiliates and their overall gravity (see Clickbank for details on Gravity). You receive an Excel spreadsheet with a formula already embeded which shows you if you can make money from the programs you select. All you have to do is import the information from Clickbank and BAM, you know if a program has profit potential. I selected 5 Programs from Clickbank that looked good and then I started my keyword and SEO research.
SEO and Keyword Research is critical in this program, but Steve once again provides a great spreadsheet for importing a few critical values in that will help determine what keywords have potential for converting for your Clickbank programs. I used the free Traffic Travis SEO and PPC analytics tool for most of this research, but I also used the free Google Adwords Keyword tool to obtain more information on the highest traffic’d keywords for each of my programs. Commission Blueprint recommends that you only use 10-20 high payoff keywords to start your Adwords campaign, so I identified between 10 and 20 for each of my 5 programs.
The big thing with this process is that keyword conversion tracking really comes into play and you have to be able to separate each keyword into its own ad group with its own ad. After working through around 4-5 keywords and burning the better part of 2 hours, i decided enough is enough and broke down and bought Speed PPC. Steve Clayton recommends it in his program, but I thought I could get away without using it. The answer is no way. In fact, I could write a review on Speed PPC by itself. I had seen tons of ads for it in the past, but never really realized what the program did until it was described in Commission Blueprint. Speed PPC will literally create all of your ads, the ad tracking, the keyword groups, campaigns, landing pages, and more and do it for you in 15 minutes for as many keywords as you want to use. I always wondered why it cost so much (between $397 and $497) and now I can see why. The Pro version is incredible and it works with 12 different Pay Per Click engines, not just Google Adwords. You can setup all of your campaigns and then blast them into Yahoo, Microsoft AdCenter, Miva, Looksmart, etc. in just a few minutes. The bottom line is this, if you are doing PPC and want to make money fast, you have to use Speed PPC.
I know I went off on a tangent there, but it really is must have software and they have tutorials on how to use everything which helps alot. Anyway, on to my test. After using Steve’s spreadsheet and picking my keywords for each Campaign for my 5 Clickbank Affiliate Programs, I pumped the info into Speed PPC and generated my 5 campaigns (you also use the free Google Adwords Editor in this process) in Google Adwords. I set my daily limits, but overall I didn’t want to spend more than $200 per campaign during this test. So you can see what I mean about having to spend money to make money here.
I didn’t start my campaigns until I had created all of my landing pages. This was a process in itself, which is also detailed pretty well in the program. The thing that is stressed here is creating landing pages that will garner a high Google Quality Score. If your ads, keywords, and landing pages do not relate to each other properly (in Google’s eyes), you will not get a good Quality Score and this will affect your PPC cost per click amount. You can litterally go from paying $.05 a click to $5 a click if your Quality Score isn’t any good. There are a lot of things that factor into this, but Steve Clayton goes over this nicely in the program. After spending 4 days building landing pages, I finally felt that my setup was good and my ads were ready to be activated.
After 5 days I had acumulated a decent amount of data and stopped one of my programs outright. I had spent around $85 with no sales and the bounce rate on my sites versus clickthroughs on my Clickbank affiliate link did not equate to spending anymore money on that particular program. This is where the conversion tracking that Speed PPC and Steve’s keyword tracking system really come into play. If you don’t know what keywords are converting into sales, you don’t know how to take advantage of it, or in this case, stop it.
The 4 additional campaigns continued running and I found that after 7 full days I had spent $378 on all the programs combined in PPC costs (this does not include the program I dropped). In Clickbank, using the tracking methods Steve provided, I found several keywords for each program had generated sales, but one program was really not performing well. I had made just 2 sales, but my costs equaled the profits, so I decided to drop this Clickbank product as well.
So here I was with 3 products remaining and I had made $922 in sales total from all of the Affiliate Programs I had started. Not too bad for a week, but I had spent $463 total in this test, bringing my total profit to $459. Using the techniques provided by Steve, I now expanded on the keywords that worked for me and converted well (again, the program has a way to calculate this effectively so you know what is working and what isn’t).
Now, after doing all of this for 4 continuous weeks and continually checking ads, making small changes here and there and scaling the process; I have made a total of $6833 in sales. I have paid $2545 in Google Adwords pay per click costs. This brings my overall profit to $4288 in one month of using this program. It is key to note that I also paid $97 for Commission Blueprint and $497 for Speed PPC, so I guess you could say my profit was a little less.
The bottom line is this, Commission Blueprint works and it works great, but you will spend money on this program and oyu might even lose a little at first. It is important to note that this is not for beginners and you should not rush into using the technique in this program without studying it all th way through and not jumping into it without finishing the entire course twice. It is excellent in every way, but you have to be carefull not to jump in too quick.

Context Ads Pro Review: Cloaked Affiliate Links for Your Content Sites
Tuesday
Nov 4, 2008
After completing my LinkXL Review the other day it reminded me of a program I had purchased over a year ago which I use on a regular basis for a few of my Article Directories. Context Ads Pro is a simple yet powerful program which will allow you to quickly turn keywords in your content/ money sites into Affiliate Links. This is a great way to monetize your content sites in which you don’t want to sell the keyword advertising. With this program, you already know what programs you want to promote and you focus on them by placing affiliate links in the actual text of articles on your site just like Kontera or other like Context Advertising solutions.
The software is as advertised. Like I said: Simple and easy to use. Load it and go. The added benefit is that all of your Affiliate Links are automatically cloaked when you add them to your keyword anchor text. You can easily add them along with Adsense advertising as a no cost addition to your money making strategies for your money/ content sites.
Context Ads Pro will scan your sites for the keywords you specify and then turn those keywords into Affiliate Links for the affiliate programs you specify. Here is a screen shot of what a site that is using Context Ads Pro could look like:
It is really a no brainer. If you have Article sites or Blogs which are not being monetized effectively and you are looking for a solution, Context Ads Pro is an easy to use solution that will work regardless of what your website type is.
LinkXL Review: Awesome Content Site Monetization
Saturday
Nov 1, 2008
I signed up for the LinkXL.com service about a month ago and have to say: WOW! What an easy way to Make Money from Content Links. I have now added this service to over 20 websites and I will continue to do so as long as they let me. Here’s why:
LinkXL is a service that allows you to make money from keywords listed in content on your website. You choose what content they can use by adding tokens to the content on your sites. If you have a Wordpress Blog, it becomes even easier because you can just upload their Wordpress Plugin to your blog and away you go. If you choose, you can just pick specific pages on your site or you can have the LinkXL spider crawl your entire site and use all of your content for Keyword monetization.
I normally choose between 2 or 3 keywords per page so my pages are not saturated with paid links. You can make your keywords even more valuable by allowing them to become backlinks with a “dofollow” tag or you can sell your keyword links as “nofollow” links. It is entirely up to you.
You can also Buy valuable backlinks for your website. All you have to do is use the LinkXL search function and find backlinks you want for any given keyword. I picked a few out and found one which had a solid PR and ranking. It was a genuine backlink with “dofollow” anchor text for my website here on an Alexa Ranked site (81677), pointing to my site here. Check out the link buried in the article for the keyword “advanced SEO” here. This is a great example of what you can do. I am paying $1.00 per month for this link with “dofollow” anchor text, making it a genuine backlink with incredible value for my site.
If you are smart and SEO savvy, you already see the endless possibilities for all of your websites by using this Free service.
I had some issues with getting my sites listed initially, but then I found that the Customer Service reps at LinkXL would upload the software on my sites for me and BAM, there I was operating easily. Wordpress Blogs are simple, you just have to realize that it might take up to 3 hours for your sites to come online after setup is complete. You do have to go through a couple pages on their site during setup, but I can tell you it was well worth it. I aslo recommend not pricing your keyword achot text for your sites too high as this will cut down on your profits. I started with $5 links, found that I wasn’t selling any, changed my links to $1 and $2 per month and now I have a monthly recurring income from this service where I am on the way to around $50 in my first month. As this grows, you can see the easy monetization of thousand page sites. Especially if they have some decent pagerank and are niche sites with good niche keyword domain names.
Check it out, I can’t recommend an easier way to make a recurring income for your Content based websites or to add to your own value added backlinks. Get more information on LinkXL here.
