The Secrets Behind 1 Million Traffic A Day

2011-09-26T23:42:00.001+10:00

About 2 years ago, I started a link building network. The basic idea of this network is that members set up an article directory in some of their websites, allow other members to post articles to it and they can do likewise.

Fast-forward 2 years now, guess what….

The entire network of article directories (more than 4000 of them) are getting more than 1 million traffic a day from the search engine. This is something I’ve never expected.

How do we make it happen? Well, that’s what I’m going to share with you in today’s post.

You see, getting traffic for the article directories, honestly, is not the intended objective. The intended objective of the system is to help its members to get backlinks through posting articles.

But simply posting article to a ton of websites isn’t going work, because most of the articles are not going to be indexed, or even if they are indexed, they do not have much link value. This is what is happening to many link building networks in the market now.

The solution? Backlinks, again.

That means in order to make those published articles worth more, you have to build links to those articles that eventually link to you. That’s why nowadays, you see tons of “link booster” system flourishing.

Understanding this fact, we devised a system to ping and build backlinks to EVERY article posted in the article directories in our network, before these articles eventually link to our members’ websites.

Imagine a website where every article posted in it has got other websites linking to it. That’s the picture of each of the article directory in our network, in the eyes of the search engine.

What happens when the search engine sees such a website? If the search engine can talk, he will say “wow, this got to be a popular site with many people are raving about it”.

As a result, the articles posted in our article directories rank very well in the search engine. In fact, in total, they receive over a million traffic every day. (We know it because all the articles are served via our server and we record the daily hits.)

That is one part of the equation, the most important part.

The other part of the equation is relevance.

The article directories in our network are a general one, yet the articles posted in them can rank well in almost any niche. Why is that so?

Reseller Hosting vs Shared Hosting - Which One Should I Get?

2011-08-31T10:27:00.001+10:00

If you are searching for web hosting options, you may have compared reseller hosting vs shared hosting. Which one should you choose, if money is not an issue?

I decided to write this article because I recently helped a client to set up a script, and notice that he, as a newbie, is using a reseller hosting account. Puzzled, I asked him why. He said he had done some online research and most people said that reseller hosting is better.

Curious, I did some research too and realized that many bloggers are advocating reseller hosting. OMG.

Hence I decided to write this article, to shatter some of the myths that are going around… and to help you save some money.

I’m going to list down the arguments on why reseller hosting is better (based on what other bloggers wrote). Then I’ll share my own view point… and you’ll be the judge.

1) Reseller Hosting Saves You Money When You Have Several Domains

Most bloggers say this, “if you have ONE personal website, shared hosting will save you money. But if you run an online business with several sites, a reseller hosting will save you money, since it allows hosting of multiple domains.”

That’s not true.

Yes, some shared hosting services allow only 1 domain, and the cost is about $5/mth. But there are tons of hosting companies that offer shared hosting with unlimited domains and the cost is less than $10/mth. You can have 100 domains hosted on a shared server. No problem.

2) Reseller Hosting Makes You Money

“A reseller account allows you to sell hosting, helping you to offset the cost of your server.”

If your intention is to get into the highly competitive website hosting industry, then yes, by all means, get a reseller account. But if your intention is to offset your cost, it’s really a bad idea.

As a reseller, you have to provide your own customer support. If you are not server savvy, you will have problem serving your customers. Even if you are server savvy, your time will be better spent growing your key business, not to offset your cost.

How To Promote A Niche Web Store

2011-05-02T09:11:00.004+10:00

I was reviewing the comments in our blog and one reader asked for advice on how to advertise and get traffic to his niche web store.

You can take a look at his website here or this screenshot to see how it looks like when this article was drafted.

As I have always been saying, getting traffic is easy. The hardest thing is converting the traffic.

The key to traffic conversion is the sales funneling process, i.e. how to capture the immediate interest of your visitors and get them to take action (usually by means of opt-in or adding you as their preferred site) before leaving your site.

Once the sales funneling process is ready, the rest is just going through the process of getting traffic.

I talk about sales funneling process right at the start of this discussion because it is exactly what is lacking in this website.

Let’s go back to the website. The homepage is a catalog page listing the featured products for sale. Such homepage will only appeal to one type of traffic, i.e. people who are currently in need of a SPECIFIC niche product THAT happens to be listed in that catalog. My question is, what is the chance of you finding such a person?

Assuming you advertise such a website, chances are most of the traffic will just come and go, including those who may have a need for your product in the future.

By now, you may ask, “So, what is a good sales funneling process for such a site?”

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. For example, I may offer a huge MRR bundle that people can download free if they opt-in. Whoever come to my homepage will be presented with the offer, either on the homepage, above the fold, or as a popup. I may also have a series of autoresponder attempting to convert them into sales.

Also, instead of selling the product at a premium price of $29 - $59 for just one product, I may just sell most of the products at unbelievably low price of $0.99 - $3.90, emphasizing that those are limited-time offers. I may also have a “BUY ALL” offer at $49 - $97 for those with higher budget.

Google’s Algorithm Change in 2011 And Its Impact

2011-03-09T09:42:00.001+11:00

On 24th Feb 2011, Google announced a major change in its search algorithm. This time, the target of this change are those content farms.

I’m not going into the details of the change. You can read it here.

Following the change, I receive lots of inquiries all asking about its impact on our Ezarticlelink network. Well, I’ll come to that later. But first, let’s take a look at some interesting research I’ve done.

1.Who Are Hit By The Change?

Following the announcement, Matt Cutts (head of Google’s Webspam team) said, “Google has been thinking for quite some time about how to deal with content that isn’t obvious spam but is clearly not designed with the best interests of the user in mind. Google needs to be open to ways where we can improve.”

When I read this, my immediate feeling was Matt is referring to sites like Ezinearticles and other article directories, which have been gaining a lot of traffic under the new Google Caffeine system.

You see, these article directories are not spam, neither are they qualified as a great resource. Yet they seem to be dominating Google’s search result, simply because tens of thousands of webmasters are working very hard to build contents as well as backlinks for them.

Is my feeling right?

You bet!

Take a look at the traffic stats for the 3 highly popular article directories: Ezinearticles, Associatedcontent and Buzzle.

What I Did Right When I First Started Online

2011-01-27T14:00:00.002+11:00

Following my discussion on the Internet Marketing Mistakes I Made When I First Started Online, today I shall share with you what I did right when I first started online.

I hope my experience can help shorten your journey to online success.

Here we go…

1. Understand The Principles Of Success

I always find reading boring until I discovered a section called Self Help in the bookstore. Since then, I became a self help junkie, reading all kinds of books and attending all kinds of seminars on success, communication, sales, wealth creation, mind power, brain power and even spirituality.

All these readings eventually led me to quitting my job, starting a few brick-and-mortar businesses and failing at every one of them.

If I had given up my dream then, I may now be another skeptic of success philosophy.

But when I turned to online business, everything I’ve learnt began to apply. Be it the law of giving and receiving, the theory of delayed gratification, the concept of focus equals to power or the idea of think and grow rich, all the principles of success that I’ve learnt are now the foundation of my online business.

Personally, I think such foundation is very important because it keeps me focused on what is really important in building a successful business (or even building a successful life), instead of simply chasing after the money.

2. Learn Programming

Many gurus suggest that a marketer should focus on driving the business and should outsource other technical stuff such as website creation to others. For me, I prefer to learn and do it myself.

I’m not trained in HTML, PHP or Javascript, but I make it a point to learn enough so that I can communicate with my programmer at the same level and do minor programming or debugging work when necessary.

The advantages of knowing about programming are as follow:
i. I can save money on simple programming work, since I can do it myself.
ii. I can respond faster to any bug report and system improvement.
iii. The more I understand about programming and its strengths and limitations, the more ideas I can come out with.

Internet Marketing Mistakes I Made When I First Started Online.

2011-01-13T23:38:00.002+11:00

I’ve been thinking of what to write in our blog to welcome 2011. Finally I decided to talk about some of the internet marketing mistakes that I’ve made in the past, not last year, but since I started venturing out online.

I hope my experience can help you avoid some pitfalls and hence smoothen your online journey in 2011.

Without further ado, here are the internet marketing mistakes I’ve made.

Mistake #1. Not believing that internet marketing is for me

This has to be the TOP mistake that I’ve made.

Back in early 2000, I was already learning about internet marketing and trying a few things without any success. My mentality was “let’s see if I can make some money online”.

I was never serious about internet marketing because I had so many other options of making money at that time.

After a few years, I failed in ALL my brick-and-mortar businesses and I was $50k in debt with the bank. At that time, online business was my last chance, as the initial investment was minimal. It was a case where I either made it online or I would have to shelve my dream and get a job.

Now it seems to be a blessing that I failed in all my offline businesses.

Mistake #2. Lacking marketing plans

Whenever I have a good idea, I’ll act on it. But there were not one, but two occasions where I spent months preparing and building a new website and when everything was ready, I realized that I had no idea how to market that website!

Of course, those websites are now sitting there collecting virtual dust, while serving as a reminder for me that I must have a foolproof marketing strategy for a new website even before I register the domain name!

Mistake #3. Hoping that there is a holy grail

There was one time when I bought a 100,000 email list from a renowned internet marketing guru, naively thinking that even if just 1% buy from me, I will be rich!

I prepared a good opt-in offer, since I knew I needed to convert it from a cold list to a warm list, and I also prepared a series of autoresponder to convert the opt-ins to buyers. Everything seemed ready, but when I massed mail to the list, I hardly got any click through, not to mention opt-in or sales.

My Best Website Traffic Strategies

2010-11-28T23:02:00.002+11:00

My intention of today’s discussion is to encourage our readers, i.e. YOU, to share with us what are some of your preferred website traffic strategies.

Feel free to discuss your preferred traffic strategies in the comment section below.

Let me kick start the discussion with 3 of my best website traffic strategies.

1) Advertising

Think about this question: If you are totally new to a market, with no network, no JV partners, no customer and no leads, how are you going to establish a presence in the market?

Well, one way is to actively promote your website through social medias such as facebook and forums. But that takes a lot of time and effort. A faster alternative is advertising.

There are 2 types of people when it comes to advertising:

- The first type are those who advertise with the aim to make some sales and hence recover the advertising cost with a good profit.

- The second type are those who advertise with the aim to build a network. Immediate recovery of the advertising cost is secondary because the network they have built will eventually pay back the advertising costs and much more.

It’s hard to say which type of advertisers is better. But personally, I belong to the second type. How about you?

2) Search Engine Traffic

The good thing about search engine traffic is that it is free and pretty sustainable. The challenge is it costs time, money and know-how to build that traffic.

The SEO game is a long-term game (at least 6 - 12 months). Most people fail because they are looking for short-term results. As I’ve discussed in my previous posts, with the launch of Google Caffeine, the emphasis is now on site authority, and one of the major factors that determine site authority is the age of the website

How To Nurture Your Affiliates

2010-10-13T10:05:00.007+11:00

As mentioned in my last post, I’m going to share with you tips on how to nurture your affiliates.

Those of you who have read the Insider Advertising Report will know that to be successful in advertising, you have to understand the characteristics of your prospects. Likewise in affiliate management, you have to understand the characteristics of your affiliates.

Here are the characteristics of your affiliates:

1. They are unmotivated.
2. They are uncreative.
3. They are lazy.

I believe these characteristics hold true for all affiliates, until you have their attention and interest in your program.

Once you understand the characteristics of your affiliates, nurturing them becomes a simple task of asking the right questions. The tough part is answering those question.

Questions that I keep asking myself are:

1. Why would someone promote our website?
2. How can we encourage affiliates to take action and start promoting our website?
3. What other creative tools can I develop to make it easier for our affiliates to promote us?
4. Since affiliates are lazy, is there a way to promote our program without having to promote it?

Let’s look at how we answer these questions in one of our websites, LeadsLeap.com.

1. Why would someone promote our website?

When our members promote LeadsLeap, other than making money, they are at the same time building 10 levels of leads whom they can advertise to.

In addition, whenever their referrals read ads, they earn advertising credits on autopilot. Many of our members earn thousands of advertising credits every month without reading any ad on their own because they have a team of people earning credits for them.

2. How can we encourage affiliates to take action and start promoting our website?

Our answer to this question is to have a Bonus Credit reward program, where members with just 20 personal referrals will receive 500 advertising credits every month, forever! Needless to say, many members try to get their 20 referrals by hook or by crook.

In fact, the rewards do not just end there. The more people they refer, the more bonus credits they receive every month. That’s why we have affiliates promoting our program on a continual basis.

3. What other creative tools can I develop to make it easier for our affiliates to promote us?

One powerful tool (or rather a system) that has brought lots of traffic to us is our blog referral system.

The way it works is quite simple. Our blog (which is the blog you’re reading now) is a viral blog. Our members can send traffic to any article in the blog with their affiliate ID. When the traffic signs up, it becomes their leads. When the traffic click ads, the members earn ad credits. This system alone has brought us lots of traffic because whenever we make a blog post, many of our members will inform their leads about the article. Sharing good information is always easier than sharing an opportunity.

To further leverage on this system, we create a LeadsLeap Widget that members can place on their websites. With this widget, our members will be able to send traffic to read the useful information on our blog while helping them to build leads and credits on autopilot.

4. Since affiliates are lazy, is there a way to promote our program without having to promote it?

Is it possible to get someone to promote your program without that person promoting it?

Definitely yes. Google uses this trick all the time.

The answer is to provide useful tools that webmasters can use. At the same time, those tools carry your brand.

We have quite a number of such tools and we are developing more. An example is our SlideSense advertising system. Members can use it for their own advertising purpose, but indirectly they are promoting LeadsLeap. Other tools we’ve developed include our Advanced Link Cloaker and List Building Script.

Some Final Notes

You may think LeadsLeap is an advertising system. That’s why we have the luxury of advertising credits and tools that we can leverage on to come out with incentives that address to these questions.

It’s not true. (At least you can’t allow yourself to believe it’s true.)

Regardless of which niche you’re in, you will be able to find a similar solution for your niche. Just believe and think hard. One day, you may wake up with an innovative idea that may just work.

How To Build A Sustainable Online Business

2010-10-01T00:37:00.001+10:00

Making money online is hard, but building a sustainable online business is even harder. Is it true? Well, not quite, if you know the secrets.

Over the years, I have seen a couple of marketers who made quite a bit of money online and then quit internet marketing totally. Some of those whom I asked said they find it hard to maintain the income. Eventually, they got tired and gave up.

Like it or not, internet marketing is NOT a job. You can’t expect to be paid months after months, with increments every few years. If that’s what you are looking for, go get a JOB (a.k.a Just Over Broke).

Whether you are doing affiliate marketing, Adsense marketing or providing online services, internet marketing is a business, which means you need to keep on promoting your website or your income will drop. That’s where most ‘once successful’ marketers fail.

I started earning full-time income from the internet since 2006 and it’s been 4 years now. 4 years isn’t long, but I guess the fact that I’m still around and one of my flagship sites, LeadsLeap.com, is still doing well after 3 years, I think I’m qualified to share with you some tips on how to build a sustainable online business.

The Secrets Of Building A Sustainable Online Business

Let’s keep it simple. To me, there are only 2 secrets. 1) Passive income. 2) Passive traffic.

1) Passive Income

I’m sure you are familiar with the term ‘Passive Income’.

Passive income can be built in 2 ways:

i) Selling something with recurring fee, such as MLM, membership program, subscription-based services, etc.

Study your business and ask yourself if it has a passive income model. If it doesn’t, the money you make is just as good as winning a lottery. And you should rethink your business model.

For example, if you are an affiliate marketer in the Forex market, instead of promoting a Forex ebook, you should focus on promoting Forex membership programs. If you are a Forex expert, instead of writing a Forex ebook, you should create a Forex trading system. I believe you get the idea.

ii) Selling a one-time-fee product, but with continuous flow of traffic to make this income recurring.

If you happen to be in an industry that is hard to create a membership program, you will need to have continuous flow of traffic to your website so that there are people buying your ebook or clicking your Adsense ads all the time.

The question is, with so many traffic strategies available, which one should you focus on in order to get this continuous flow of traffic? This is when you need to understand the concept of Passive Traffic.

2) Passive Traffic

Many marketers talk about passive income. But very few marketers talk about passive traffic. To me, passive traffic is more important than passive income. It is an extremely important key to building a sustainable online business.

Passive traffic refers to traffic that come to your website without your active involvement in promoting your website for a few months. If you have an effective passive traffic system for your website, you can at least take a few weeks of break to do something else, such as developing a new business, instead of having to worry about traffic every day.

3 Simple Online Traffic Strategies You Can Start Using Today

2010-08-26T09:52:00.001+10:00

In today’s blog, I’ve invited Henry Zeng, founder of henryzeng.com and autotrafficmagnet.com, to share with us how he generates traffic to his websites. Read on to find out what he has to share with us……

First off, traffic isn’t something that happens overnight. It is something you have to build on a daily basis. You need to set up a strategy and work on it every day to build a flow of visitors to your site from different sources.

1) Forum Marketing Traffic Flow

The first tactic I want to share is to use forums and message boards to start drawing traffic (and sales) immediately.

Online communities, or forums, are great channels to promote your links. You will be allotted a signature box, where you can put your links on. For every post you make, your signature box
appears.

Obviously, you can only do this through your signature link, and every forum has its own rules about how signature spaces can be used.

The best way to find forums in your niche is to do a search in Google for something like “[your market] forum”, or by searching directories like http://Big-Boards.com and http://BoardReader.com. You’ll also want to check if Google Groups has any relevant categories as well.

No money spent, no website required, nothing to lose. And there is no looking back. The traffic you can pull from this strategy alone is incredible.

2) Download Directory Submission

I haven’t realized until recently that there are a lot of million-dollar software companies out there whose primary marketing strategy isn’t affiliates, SEO, PPC or any “typical” marketing tactics.

They get almost all of their traffic straight off software directories like http://Download.com, http://TuCows.com, and thousands of other sites like these.

This tactic involves creating free software like screensavers, rss readers, web toolbars and then submitting to software directories.

Actually you don’t need to create those applications at all. You can just use a HTML to EXE converter software and turn your salespage into an .exe application. Do a search on Google and you will find several free converters available.

The software directories require you to use what is called a pad file to get all the information about your software.

After you create your software, you then can use a pad file submission program to submit your pad file to 1000s of directories. I personally use a paid software called Robosoft to submit all the software I create.

This tactic is quite successful to me. All the software I submitted brings me some nice, consistent traffic. It’s extra 40 subscribers or more per day.

Why This ‘Junk’ Site Does Well Under Google Caffeine

2010-07-18T11:40:00.001+10:00

In my last post, I discussed the SEO impact of Google Caffeine, and I mentioned a ‘junk’ authority site that does well under the new Google Caffeine.

But before I continue, I need to make it clear that my intention is not to belittle this site. I simply want to use it as a case study to show you that it is still possible to dominate Google’s search result, without having to build the next wikipedia.

Without beating around the bush, here is the site.

This site has lots of page 1 ranking in Google (see proof here).

But if you study into this site, you will realize that most of the articles in this site are PLR articles, either partially rewritten or with sentences jumbled up.

Question is, how on earth does this site do so well in Google?

As I explained in my previous post, Google is biased towards authority sites. This site is an aged site (started in 2003), with PR 5, and it has tons of articles (though not original). That basically meets the requirement of an authority site.

To Google, this site is technically looking like another Wikipedia or Ezinearticles.

But that is not all. This site is good at categorizing its contents.

Google Caffeine SEO Impact (With Case Study)

2010-06-30T19:08:00.000+10:00

On 8 June, Google announced the completion of its new search engine indexing system called Google Caffeine. Over the past 2 weeks, I have been doing all kinds of research and site analyses, to find out what is the SEO impact of this new Google Caffeine, what does it mean to internet marketers like us and how it affects our search engine rankings.

It turns out that the impact is HUGE, but it’s within my expectation.

First, let’s look at what Google says:

“Caffeine provides 50 percent fresher results for web searches than our last index, and it’s the largest collection of web content we’ve offered.”

Hm…. 50% fresher results!!! That means before Google Caffeine, tons of webpages were not indexed by Google. If you still think Google will index all your webpages, think again.

With 50% more results, what do you think will happen?

Yes, more competition!

But that’s not all. (More bad news coming…..)

After all the analyses, I only have one conclusion about the new Google Caffeine system. That is, Google Caffeine gives A LOT more weight to Site Authority!!!

Let’s do a case study to show you what I mean. In March, I showed you a screenshot of how I dominated Google’s first page with 9 out of 10 results. To refresh your memory, check out this screenshot again: Here..

Let’s do a search for the same keyword and see what is happening now (see screenshot below):

What Would I Do If I Were A Newbie In Internet Marketing?

2010-06-11T11:16:00.001+10:00

Sometimes I ask myself, “What would I do if I were a newbie in internet marketing?”. Let’s answer this question today. I believe it will benefit some of our readers here.

1) Build Adsense Income

Yes, the first thing I will do is to build my Adsense income.

Until today, I am still grateful that I added Adsense in my overall game plan.

The thing is, in the processing of building Adsense income, I would have mastered a few important skills, which include website building, simple server management and most important of all, search engine optimization.

I don’t have to know how to sell or promote things. As long as I know how to bring in traffic, I am likely to make money!

It’s truly a “Learn As You Earn” scenario.

When it comes to making money from Adsense, I will not start a blog, which most people will do nowadays. This is because blogging takes time. I want to spend most of my time learning more skills and exploring other ways to make money. (Note: When I say “starting a blog”, I don’t mean starting a blog filled with prewritten articles. I am referring to a blog where I need to personally write articles and post frequently.)

2) Explore Affiliate Marketing

The next thing I’ll explore is affiliate marketing.

There are many different strategies to make money as an affiliate marketer. For example, you can create different niche sites to sell different Clickbank products. But I wouldn’t do that. Somehow I don’t feel that it’s going to bring me long-term passive income. (I may be wrong.)

Instead, I will become a ‘guru’ type of affiliate marketer, where I build an info-rich website (not blog) and a list. I’ll get traffic through search engine optimization, advertising and viral marketing.

Once my website is established, I can sell many different affiliate products and I don’t have to worry about whether a particular affiliate product will disappear tomorrow because I own the customers.

When choosing which niche to get into, I will look for a niche where there is a lot of potential to earn passive income. For example, I may get into the stock trading niche where I can promote brokering services that earn me recurring commissions.

Through this venture into affiliate marketing, I would have learnt the art of copywriting, advertising and viral marketing. These are essential skills that will make me a powerful online marketer in time to come.

Did you notice that I said I will start an info-rich website (not blog)? Basically I will not start a blog until I feel committed to the niche.

How To Choose The Right Web Hosting Plan (From A Marketer’s Perspective)

2010-04-28T09:02:00.002+10:00

Most reviews on web hosting plans are written by technical experts for technical experts. My discussion today is from the point of view of a marketer. I believe today’s discussion will provide a different angle to this topic.

Generally there are 4 types of web hosting plans to choose from, namely shared hosting, reseller hosting, VPS hosting and dedicated hosting. If you are new, you can see the pricing and detailed descriptions here.

If you are a server expert or you are planning to start your own webhosting service, this article is not for you. But if you are an internet marketer, looking for a web hosting plan that meets your needs, I’m sure my experience in web hosting will help you.

So, which web hosting plan should you choose?

Cheap is better

When it comes to hosting, paying more doesn’t mean you get more. In fact, it’s the reverse. Let me explain.

The cheapest plan is called shared hosting, which usually cost you less than 10 bucks a month. As the name suggests, shared hosting means you are sharing a server with probably hundreds of other users. Because of this, the hosting company has huge liability in these shared servers. It cannot afford to have these servers fail or it will affect hundreds of their clients. As a result, they do regular server updates, backups, maintenance and they provide 24/7 uptime monitoring.

But if you go for other more expensive hosting plans, the servers usually have lesser users and as a result, those servers receive lesser attention from the hosting company. (Most companies will deny this, but that is the truth.)

Take the most expensive plan, dedicated hosting, as an example. Most hosting companies will not monitor the uptime of such servers. Also, they will do lesser system maintenance and updates. Reason? Because you own the whole server and are responsible for the maintenance yourself!

In addition to this, most shared hosting plan offers unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. Yet, almost all other more expensive hosting plans have limits on disk space and bandwidth. If you are using one of those more expensive hosting plans, you have to worry about your disk and bandwidth usage.

Think about it this way. By paying more, you get limited disk space, limited bandwidth and lesser server maintenance. This is what’s happening when you pay more for your web host.

Of course, there are limitations to shared hosting. But that is when you become a heavy user.

As a rule of thumb, if you are simply running niche websites for Adsense or affiliate commissions, shared hosting should be your best choice…… until you max out your shared server.

How to max out your server?

So far, the message I’m trying to put across is get a cheap shared hosting plan because you get the best server support compared to all other hosting plans. But that is assuming you are just a small-time marketer (most people are).

If you are a big-time marketer or going to be a big-time marketer, things may be a little different.

Below are ways in which you can max out the capacity of a shared hosting server.

1) Mass Mailing

One of the most taxing activities in a server is mass mailing. If you are intending to build a list and send out mass email through your own server, chances are, you can’t live with a shared hosting plan, not even a reseller or VPS plan.

Most shared hosting has a limit of 500 emails per hour. This means if you were to mail to a list of say 5000 people, it will take you 10 hours.

If you are using hosted autoresponder services like Aweber, this will not be a concern since emails are sent through Aweber’s server, not yours.

2) Product Launch

If you are planning a big product launch, there is a high chance that you will max out the server bandwidth.

“Kenneth, I thought shared hosting has got unlimited bandwidth?”

Yes, that’s a lie.

Imagine bandwidth as a pail of water. When you are promised with unlimited bandwidth, what it means is you have an infinitely huge water pail, full of water of course. The catch here is water must flow out from a tap. For shared hosting, you’ve got a small water tap. So if there is a sudden surge of traffic to your server, this small water tap may not be enough to cater to that surge. The result is you get very sluggish web loading speed and occasional disconnectivity issues.

3) Video Hosting

If your server hosts a lot of videos and a lot of people are watching it, you will run into the same bandwidth issue, as explained in #2.

Basically, any activity that involves huge data transfer to and from the server will tax on the bandwidth and create potential bandwidth issue.

4) Hosting Too Many Domains

Did I mention that most shared hosting plans allow you to host unlimited domains? Well, that’s another lie.

How To Choose Web Hosting Service (If You Are Starting Out)

2010-04-22T10:06:00.001+10:00

This week, we are going to talk about how to choose web hosting service if you are a beginner who are starting out, wanting to make some money from the internet. Next week, we will talk about web hosting for advanced online marketers. If you are an advanced marketer, be sure to check out our blog next week.

So, what does it take to make money online? Is it know-how? Is it technical skill? Is it your connection or network?

Well, all of these play a part. But the main factor is Right Mindset + Right Action.

You may wonder what has it got to do with choosing web hosting service. Read on…

Another question. What makes a good web hosting service for beginners? Is it hosting features? Is it price? Is it customer support?

Again, all of them play a part. But the main factor is it should make you money.

When I say it should make you money, I’m not referring to those MLM web hosting systems. I’m talking about web hosting that has a workable system that practically guarantees your success.

Let me share with you my story, one that some of you may be able to relate to……

Many years back, when I first decided to build a website, my first thought was, well, I’ll choose a cheap web host.

I found one that only cost me $35 a year, including domain name and 1 year hosting. So I got a domain, a hosting service and a step-by-step guide that claimed to teach me how to make money online. I can’t remember what I did with the website, but basically I made $0.00 from that venture.

Finally, I gave up on cheapskate solutions and invested in a “guided web hosting system” that claimed to hold my hands and lead me step-by-step to success. The system costs me $300 a year (I think).

But guess what, when your pocket hurts, you work!

I dedicated months to follow the system to a tee, and started making some money and eventually crossed my first $100 a month in less than a year. (As you can see, it was a slow start, but hey, I was a newbie, remember?)

So which hosting is cheaper, the first one that cost $35 a year, or the second one that cost $300 a year?

Remember in the beginning of this article, I said newbies’ success depends mainly on Right Mindset + Right Action?

The $35 a year hosting gave me a cheap alternative, and left me with a ’see-if-it-works’ mindset and a ’step-by-step-but-up-to-you-to-follow’ action plan.

The $300 a year hosting, on the other hand, gave me a ‘I-must-earn-back-that-money’ mindset and a superbly ‘annoying’ system that forced me to do everything exactly its way. And the result was… I was forced to do the right thing and made money!!

Let me share with you what I mean by ‘annoying’. Imagine when you try to submit a webpage, the system will always slap you with tons of error messages, asking you to correct this and correct that. It’s like your nagging parents who insist that you must do things their way. But over time, you mind is slowly trained to do things ‘its way’ and it becomes your second nature. And guess what, that’s how you learn to do things the right way!

Honestly, I might not have the discipline to learn and do things the right way without this system.

But interestingly, I ditched that system after 2 years.

Why?!

How To Convert Traffic Into Sales? (Part 3)

2010-04-01T12:05:00.003+11:00

In this concluding episode of How To Convert Traffic Into Sales, we are going to discuss strategies to increase the conversion of traffic into sales of your own products.

If you are a product owner, the key to converting traffic into sales is really in the overall game plan, which is made up of the following objectives:

1) Proof
2) Hook
3) Offer
4) Over-deliver
5) Offer again

1) Proof

When traffic comes to your product site, your main objective is to prove to the visitors that your site is a trustworthy site and your product can meet their needs.

This is when you demonstrate your copywriting skills.

Some of the tricks that can help you to achieve this objective include testimonials, case studies, your photo, a video intro from you and as suggested by one of our readers, a link to your Facebook account.

2) Hook

If you can achieve the first objective of Proof, you can basically filter your visitors into 2 groups.

The first group is made up of people who don’t need your product or service at all. This group of people will not do anything regardless of how good your product is. Ignore them.

The second group consists of people who have a need for your product or service, but they may or may not buy it. This is the group of people you want to Hook!

I believe you should have guessed it by now that what I mean by Hook is to get them into your list. Whether they are going to buy or not, you will want to convert them into your list because they are your target prospects now or in the future.

How to convert them into your list is another huge topic. In short, the trick that has been working for me is to provide a free version of the service I’m offering. If you can somehow offer a free version of the product or service that you are selling, I highly suggest that you offer that option. This way, you can capture all the people belonging to the second group.

3) Offer

Once you have a system to Hook your hot prospects, the next thing you must do is to give them a good reason to take action now - i.e. buy your product NOW!

In real life, you don’t propose to your new girlfriend the first day you’re engaged. But in sales, you MUST do so. In Mandarin, we say “Hit The Iron While It’s Hot”.

You can use strategies like “one time offer”, “increasing price strategy”, “limited supply strategy”, “time-sensitive offer”, “fast action bonus” and many other tricks. The idea is to give them enough reasons to take action NOW or they will either miss a great discount or great offer.

Typical conversion rate is about 10%. My best record is 60%, meaning every 5 people who opt-in, 3 are paying customers.

How To Convert Traffic Into Sales? (Part 2)

2010-03-24T09:09:00.001+11:00

Last week, we talked about how to convert traffic into “ad-click” sales. Today, we will discuss how to convert traffic into “product” sales.

Similar to ad-clicks, the “prerequisite” of any product sales is targeted traffic. Whether you’re getting traffic from search engines, PPC or other advertising channels, the traffic must be interested in your product.

If you are getting traffic from the search engines, you’ll have to note that in addition to getting targeted traffic, you have to get traffic from keywords that can convert into sales. For example, you may be getting lots of traffic from the keywords “ideas for Christmas presents”, yet not making any sale. Instead, a low volume keywords of “unique Christmas present for mum” may get you some sales. Like it or not, certain keywords simply convert better than others and you need to find out what these keywords are!

With that prerequisite in mind, let’s look at the strategies to convert traffic into product sales, including affiliate sales and sales of your own product.

1) How To Convert Traffic Into Affiliate Sales

Whether you are selling your own product or affiliated product, the most important factor is trust or confidence.

For those of you who have read my Insider Advertising Report, you will know that Sales Is A Transfer Of Confidence.

If you are selling an affiliated product, you can build trust in 2 ways:

i) Give a personal encounter of your experience with the product that you recommend.

- This is usually a one-page review on how the product has benefited you. The storyline will always be something like “I was having so and so problem…. then I found this product…. then my problem is solved.”

- In this model, the visitors are likely to read your experience in detail and eventually click to the product site.

ii) Build a ’seemingly’ trustworthy niche site, one that seems to have great info and great reviews, with prominent links or banners linking to your affiliated product.

- Such a niche site usually have 5-10 pages of relevant contents, with the objective of making the site look as if it understands the niche well. Every article should link to your affiliated product. In addition, every page should have a prominent banner that links to the affiliated product. This is important because the number of traffic to your affiliated site has a direct impact on the number of sales you make.

- In this model, you don’t really expect your visitors to read the articles. The articles and entire website are just to make them trust your site before they go to the affiliated site.

How To Convert Traffic Into Sales? (Part 1)

2010-03-17T09:23:00.005+11:00

By now you probably realize that getting traffic is easy, but knowing how to convert traffic into sales is harder!

In today’s blog, I’m going to share with you some practical tips on how to convert traffic into sales.

First, what sales are we referring to?

Are we talking about ad clicks, as in the case of Adsense click-through? Or we’re referring to product sales, as in the case of affiliate sales or sales of your own products or services?

Since they require different techniques, I will discuss them differently.

How To Convert Traffic Into Ad Clicks

The “prerequisite” of any ad-clicks is targeted traffic. Whether you’re getting traffic from search engines, PPC or other advertising channels, the traffic must be interested in the content on your webpage and hence the content of the ads. Without this prerequisite, nothing else can work.

With that prerequisite in mind, let’s look at the strategies to convert traffic into sales (ad clicks in this case).

1) Place an ad above the fold

Don’t worry about making your webpage ugly. Be focused. You want ad-clicks! Just get it.

One of your ads, such as an Adsense ad, should be above the fold (i.e. can be seen without scrolling) and located right in the middle of the webpage. Usually, a good place to put it is immediately below the title.

2) Place an ad near the action button or action link

If you are running a forum or any website where people tend to click on buttons or links to take some actions, place an ad near the most used button.

3) Place an ad at the end of the article

If the visitors happen to read the content on your webpage, you’ll want to offer them something to do after reading. And that something is of course… an ad!

3) Don’t frame the ad!

Don’t frame the ad with borders. Remove any border.

In the offline world, retail shop owners are adopting an open concept, removing glass panels and walls because they realize that this will increase the traffic flow to their shops.

Same goes for the virtual world. Borders prevent people from clicking the contents in it. No borders please.

Dominating Google’s First Page. See What I Mean Here.

2010-03-06T11:42:00.002+11:00

Out of 10 results in the first page, 9 are articles from the same author, syndicated on different websites.

The last result is a YouTube video, which is something Google tries to include in every result page.

In fact, for this particular search term, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th page of Google are mostly dominated by the same article.

Interested to know how it’s done?

In today’s blog, I’m going to show you exactly how it is done. Yes, I know exactly how it’s done because I’m the person behind it.

What happened is this article is an article submitted by one of the members at ezArticleLink, our new link building system.

The article gets published in hundreds of other domains in the system, over a period of time, so as to get backlinks to that member’s site.

Now, the question is, if you write an article and publish in hundreds of article directories, will you get the same result?

Not likely, because most of the articles are buried deep in the directory and more importantly, there is no backlink to those articles.

Then what makes this article different?

I’m not going to hide anything. Here are the reasons:

1) Unique article

The article has been spun according to our spinning requirement. This ensures that every published article is unique (at least in the eyes of Google).

To ensure good user experience, Google does not display duplicated contents. It will only choose the most relevant one (usually the one with the most backlinks) and show it.

For Google to show all your articles in one page, that article must be unique. So to Google, it is showing 9 different articles.

2) Highly relevant content

Google’s objective is to return the most relevant webpage for a given search term.

By means of relevance, I mean…

i) The title of the webpage must be relevant

As you can see from the screenshot, all the titles contain the search keyword, except for the 9th listing, which is something else (actually an error with that site that cause it not showing the correct title and the problem has just been fixed).

ii) The content in the webpage must be relevant

In this case, every webpage you see in the screenshot above has content related to the keyword. NO OTHER miscellaneous content or randomly generate content in it.

How To Find JV Partners

2010-02-14T19:43:00.002+11:00

In this article, I will share with you some of my recent experiences in finding JV partners.

As you probably know, we’re nearing the launch of our new link building system and I’m dead busy preparing for the launch. One of the things I am busy doing is to find JV partners for the launch.

Getting Big Names To Be Your JV Partners

Thinking that I have a good product and some reputation in the market, I thought maybe I can try sending a JV proposal to some of the big names out there. So I did.

I sent out about 10-15 emails either to their email addresses or via their online support. The result? None. Either they reply with an industry standard reply “My schedule is full” or there is no reply at all.

Kind of expected, but I thought no harm trying my luck.

The lesson? Don’t be disappointed if you are rejected!

Getting Big Names To Be Your JV Partners - The Correct Way

Alright, above is a negative demonstration. Here’s the correct way to do it.

Over the past years, I was acquainted with other big names and have helped them either in their product launches or in other aspects.

This time, when I sent them a JV proposal, most of them respond favorably.

You see, big names are busy. They have their own businesses to run and are not in any need to promote any product. The only reason they will consider your JV proposal is because you’ve done them a favor in the past.

So before you even think of approaching big names as JV partners, you probably need to start building rapport months or years ahead. If they have a product launch, help them in the launch and be one of the top sellers. Get them to know you in person. This will dramatically increase your chance of getting them to help you in your product launch.

SEO Case Study - Free SEO Tutorial (Part 6)

2010-02-06T10:05:00.005+11:00

I have almost covered all you need to know about SEO in Part 1 to 5 of our Free SEO Tutorial series.

Today will be the last episode.

The best way to sum up this tutorial series is to give you an SEO case study of successful website. A good example I can think of is Ezinearticles.com.Unless you are very new to the IM industry, you should know Ezinearticles.com. You probably also know that the articles in Ezinearticles get very high ranking in Google search results.

But why?

As the old saying goes, “success leaves tracks”. Today, let’s try to find these tracks! If you found any tracks that I missed, feel free to add them in the comments section.

Step 1: High Site Authority

Ezinearticles has a high site authority. As discussed in Free SEO Tutorial (Part 1), when you have a high site authority, anything you post will turn gold! A little exaggerated, but you get the idea.

What really makes it an authority site is everyone’s guess. But these are some of the clues we can gather:

i) Age. Checking on whois.net, Ezinearticles.com was created in 1999. Google.com was created in 1997. So Ezinearticles is only 2 years younger!

ii) It has a PR of 6 now. It means it has lots of backlinks to the site.

iii) It has lots of contents (some unique, mostly duplicated due to the nature of its service).

iv) It has lots of backlinks to its internal pages, i.e. the article pages.

All these are the known factors that contribute to a site authority, and it has all of them!

Step 2: Relevant Webpage Content And Links

The article page in Ezinearticles is keyword focused. If you go to an article about dog, you will notice that everything on that page is about dog. That includes all the internal links.

If you are a blogger, this is an important clue for you. If you are blogging everything under the sun (which is okay), please avoid plugins like popular posts, recent comments etc. This is because the randomness nature of the content generated by these plugins will dilute the relevancy of your blog post. Instead, you should use plugins like related posts that will show only related articles. Always ask yourself, how can you become a mini Ezinearticles?

Step 3: Lots Of Keyword-Focused Internal Links

Having relevant internal links on every webpage is not good enough, you need lots of them! Go to any article page on Ezinearticles and count how many internal links there are. Besides the standard navigation links, it has 45 other internal links all linking to other webpages in the same niche!

You see, Google Search’s objective is to return the most relevant resource that people search for. If your webpage has lots of internal links to other webpages related to the searched keywords, your webpage looks like a great resource center. That’s what Google likes!

Step 4: Lots Of Keyword-Focused Internal Links

Same title as point #3. It’s not a mistake.

There is another benefit of having lots of keyword-focused internal links. It has to do with content duplication.

Since Ezinearticles allows webmasters to publish its articles on their websites, it naturally creates duplicated contents. But with 45 other links on every article, they effectively turn every article unique!

A simple word count on the titles of 45 links shows that they can easily amount to 500 words! Ezinearticles articles are usually 250 to 1000 words long. So even if we take an article with 1000 words, with 500 other ‘keyword-focused’ words, that article is easily 50% unique compared to the same article published elsewhere!

Some of you may ask, doesn’t Google check content duplication sentence by sentence? It doesn’t.

Common SEO Myths - Free SEO Tutorial (Part 5)

2010-01-16T12:45:00.001+11:00

In this tutorial, we will discuss some of the common SEO myths that are pretty important and you should be aware of. Without further ado, let’s start……

Step 1: You need to post new articles to your website regularly

Google loves new contents? Yes. That’s not a myth. But that doesn’t mean Google hates old contents. On the contrary, Google loves old contents even more!

Truth is, I have many websites that I hardly touch for years. Yet they are still getting traffic from Google, and the traffic is increasing as the website ages, because AGE is an important factor in SEO.

The notion of Google loving new contents is because Google will give new contents a search result boost, based on the assumption that new content has some kind of ‘news value’.

For example, if you post a new article to your blog, that article may quickly appear on the first page of Google for the keyword you’re optimizing. But a few days later, that article will lose its ‘news value’ and it will have to compete with other webpages, based on the amount of backlinks and other SEO factors.

An advantage of posting new articles regularly is that it will increase the frequency of the search spiders visiting your website. That will affect how soon your new content is indexed, but it will not affect your search engine ranking at all.

Step 2: You need ‘quality’ backlinks to succeed in SEO

If you have been reading blogs from official SEO experts, they will all tell you the same story. Get quality backlinks!

How on earth can you find so many quality backlinks? Try asking someone with just a PR3 website to link to you and see if you can get any reply from him. Even if he does, try doing it for 100 of your webpages!

The only workable way to get quality backlinks seems to be buying links, assuming you are superbly cash rich. But link buying has been condemned by Google. Try it if you dare. I’m serious. You may not be caught.

The truth is you don’t need quality backlinks to succeed. Rather than spending your time seeking or dreaming of quality backlinks, spend you time to try out tools and systems that you can leverage on to build more “legitimate” backlinks with less effort from you.

How To SEO A Website From Scratch - Free SEO Tutorial (Part 4)

2010-01-16T12:39:00.002+11:00

In this tutorial, my aim is to show you how to SEO a website from scratch, with step-by-step guide that you can follow.

Before I begin, I want to say, “forget about how to SEO a website”. You never SEO a website. You SEO a web page. When every web page on your website is optimized for search engine, the website is considered optimized.

I’m not trying to play around with words. It’s important that you understand the difference.

Now let’s move on to the step by step guide….

Assuming you have a new website or blog, with a homepage and a couple of other content pages. Here’re what you need to do to SEO your website or blog:

Step 1: Set your target

Remember this: You will never know where to shoot if you do not have a target.

In SEO, your target is your keyword phrase (aka anchor texts). This is where keyword research comes in.

You need to decide what keyword phrase you want to optimize for every web page that you wish to rank in the search engine.

Every web page, including the homepage, should be optimized for one (or at most three) keyword phrase. Be focused.

If you want to target more keyword phrases, you should add more web pages to your website, instead of trying to make one web page optimized for different keywords.

Step 2: Get the fundamentals right

Check and make sure that the followings are correctly done for every web page:

- Keyword phrase found in title tag
- Keyword phrase found in description meta tag
- Keyword phrase found in the url (if possible)
- Keyword phrase found within the content

SEO Link Building - Free SEO Tutorial (Part 3)

2009-12-13T00:16:00.002+11:00

In this tutorial, my aim is to cover everything you need to know about SEO link building, including ways to build backlinks and common questions you may have.

Before I begin, let’s me quickly go through some fundamentals.

- Link building is about building links FROM other websites to YOUR website, not from YOUR website to OTHER websites. You may laugh, but many newbies can’t even get this idea right.

- Next fundamental. In the SEO world, we often use the word backlink, which refers to links from OTHER websites TO your website. If you link to other websites, that’s NOT a backlink to you.

- Last fundamental. SEO link building is not just about building backlinks. It’s about building SEO backlinks. (Read this article on the difference between a backlink and an SEO backlink.)

Once you are clear on the fundamentals, let’s move on to the exciting part……

Ways To Build Backlinks

Step 1: Google’s answer to link building

Officially, Google wants you to create great contents and/or services in your website, so that people can see the value in your website and link to you.

If you strictly follow this strategy, it may take you a long time before you can see any result.

But there are ways to accelerate the process and I shall list them below:

- Create link bait. For example, write an article on 101 ways to do something or a long list of resources. This kind of article will usually arouse people’s interest within your niche and thus link to that article. If you have a blog, put your link bait article in the Popular Article listing. The idea is to get more people to read that article and link to it.

- Provide a useful online application on your website, so that people will naturally link to you in their blogs or forums.

- Distribute free templates or scripts of any kind, such as Wordpress theme, website template, free script, free plugin etc, with a backlink to website. When people use them, they will have to link to you.

The rest of the methods are not recommended by Google. But they are proven to work and are very likely to continue working for many years to come.

Step 2: Effective textbook ways to build backlinks

Just pick up any SEO ebook and you’ll see these link building strategies:

- Distribute articles to article directories, aka article marketing.

- Post comments in blogs.

- Post in forums.

- Create pages in Blogspot, Squidoo, Hubpages, Digg, Propeller and other social networking sites.

- Press release.

- Submit your link to non-reciprocal link directories.

- Exchange links with friends or other webmasters, through article exchange or blogroll exchange. Though Google doesn’t like reciprocal links, reciprocal links still count. Just don’t over do it. What Google frowns is EXCESSIVE reciprocal links.

Step 3: Other seldom-mentioned but effective ways to build backlinks

- Create accounts in social networking sites and membership sites that show your profile in public (there are thousands of them out there, with high PR) and include backlinks in your profile. You can create as many accounts as you like. (This method is extremely spammy, but it works.)

Common SEO Mistakes - Free SEO Tutorial (Part 2)

2009-12-08T06:40:00.005+11:00

In this article, I’m going to document some important SEO mistakes that I came across. Visit this page regularly because I’m going to update it from time to time. Whenever I come across a new mistake that worth noting, I will list it here.

Simply avoiding these mistakes can drastically improve your search engine ranking.

Let’s start with the most common mistake of all……

Step 1: Going after competitive keywords

General keywords are usually competitive keywords. If you do not conduct any form of keyword research, chances are you will think of keywords that are too general and hence too competitive.

For example, if a person runs an internet marketing related blog, he may want to optimize his blog for “make money online” (which has 149 million competing webpages!!). Someone running a Forex website may want to optimize his site for “forex trading” (which has 11 million competing webpages!!).

Aiming for competitive keywords with huge demand is not wrong, but it’s too ambitious. You may be building links like mad, but still wonder why you are not seeing any improvement in your search engine ranking.

The secret here is to go for keywords with some demand and low competition.

I’m not going to go into the details of how to do keyword research because I’ve written about it in Long Tail Keyword Research - A Step-By-Step Guide.

Step 2: Optimizing for too many different keyword phrases per webpage

Don’t be overly ambitious and try to optimize too many keyword phrases for one webpage (including homepage).

For example, I’ve seen a marketer trying to optimize his homepage for “make money online fast”, “affiliate marketing for newbies” and “internet marketing strategies”.

Assuming the keywords have low competition “which I doubt so”, how is he going to include all these keywords into his title tag, which is an important factor in search engine optimization?

Free SEO Tutorial (Part 1) - The Fundamentals

2009-11-28T23:51:00.002+11:00

In the coming weeks, I’m going to establish a free SEO tutorial series in our blog. Today is part 1 of the SEO tutorial. I hope this free tutorial series will give you a clear idea how to get your website rank top in Google search engine.

What is SEO?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Practicing SEO means getting your website to rank top in the organic search engine result for a particular keyword phrase so as to get endless flow of free traffic to your website.

Imagine if you sell gifts, and you rank #1 in Google’s search result for “buy cheap Christmas presents”. What can that do to your sales?

Different search engines have different search algorithm. In the SEO industry, we are mainly concerned about getting top ranking in Google because Googles owns more than 80% of the search engine market share.

Who am I to teach SEO?

If you are new to this blog or LeadsLeap, you may be wondering whether I’m qualified to teach you anything about SEO. If you have the same doubt, just google for “free leads generation system” or “leads generation system” and see who is in the top 10. These are just two of the thousands of first page I have on Google.

How to get my website rank top in Google?

This is the most common question, but it is a poor question. Why? Because you are likely to be ranking top in Google already. Just type your entire domain name in Google. Is your website in the first page? Better question please…..

How to get my website rank top for a particular keyword phrase in Google?

Technically, you can get any web page (not just website) into the first page of Google by building lots of backlinks to that web page using that particular keyword phrase as the anchor text.

For example, if you want to rank top for the keyword phrase “buy cheap Christmas presents”, you need to have lots of backlinks to your web page using “buy cheap Christmas presents” as the anchor text.

Managing Information Overload For IM Beginners

2009-11-08T00:05:00.003+11:00

“I have gone to hundreds of these types of sites but still not making money. I downloaded these free ebooks and bonuses but then what do I do with them? Frustrated.”

This is a support ticket I received last week. Does this situation sound familiar to you? I’m sure it happened to you when you were a newbie.

For those of you who are still going through this phase of internet marketing, I’m going to share with you my advice on managing information overload.

Did you notice that I said “this phase” of internet marketing?

Yes, it’s a phase that every newbie will go through. Some survived through this phase. Some are defeated.

Ok, here are my tips on managing information overload:

1) Information Overload Is Good!

Always tell yourself that “information overload is good”.

You see, the truth is, there are only two things that separate you from getting what you want.

The first thing is INFORMATION. The second is ACTION.

So if you are overwhelmed with information, you should be thankful, not frustrated.

2) Get Your Feet Wet

With an overload of information, what you need to do is to TAKE ACTION.

As the old saying goes, you can’t learn to swim without getting your feet wet.

Information will forever be overloading unless you INTERNALIZE the information. And the only way to internalize information is to use it repeatedly.

If you don’t have a website, start one. If you haven’t started promoting any program, start promoting one. You’ll face challenges as you go along. This is when you dig out those pieces of information in your harddisk and see how to put them into practice. In other words, this is when you start internalizing the information.

You will waste some time. You will lose some money. These are just part of the process of getting your feet wet.

Blogger Mistakes You Can’t Afford To Commit

2009-11-01T23:12:00.001+11:00

Who am I to teach you about blogger mistakes? I’m not a big-time blogger. Neither has my blog won any award.

But I do know one thing, that is, how to use my blog as a tool to achieve my goal.

I’m telling you this because this is exactly the TOP mistake that many new bloggers make.

Many new bloggers tend to treat their blog as some kind of online holy grail, thinking that as long as they have a blog, traffic will come and they will make money.

What they should do instead is to think of blog as just another a tool. It should be part of the business, not the business.

I know this is a bit theoretical and ‘dry’, but this is an important fundamental that you must understand, if you want to follow my advice.

As you know, I get most of my writing inspiration from our members’ questions. Today’s topic on blogger mistakes is no different.

Here’s the question I received from a member:

“I respect you as a master marketer with great knowledge and insight. Could you have a quick look at my blog, http://membership-millions.com/blog/, and suggest ways to get it really going… and also to start making REAL money??” - Izzy Joseph

I’m not sure how Izzy’s blog is performing now. But if I were to be critical, here are some advice I can think of:

1) Build A Business, Not A Blog

As I said, I don’t consider myself as a blogger. My approach to blogging is from the perspective of a marketer.

To me, blog is one of my marketing tools for my business. In other words, blogging is not my business, and it should not be your business too.

Frankly, I can’t see a business in your blog. What I can see instead is you are trying to write some articles and get people to buy the Clickbank product you’re affiliated to. That’s not a business.

Your domain name is membership-millions.com. If I were you, I will turn the blog into a resource centre that teaches people how to make money from membership. You may write articles that teach people how to start a membership site, how to promote membership sites, etc. You can engage a freelancer to create a membership script to give away.

If you choose to go the membership way, everything you do should be related to membership. Your opt-in freebie should be an ebook about membership. Your articles should be about membership.

If you are afraid that you may not have enough material to write about membership, your worry is unnecessary. Everything about internet marketing can be twisted to link to membership. For example, your little twitter ebook can be renamed to “how to promote your membership with twitter”.

2) Forget About Making Money

Beggars can’t be choosers. New bloggers can’t be choosers too. For a new blog, you must focus on providing useful content and forget about making money.

At the beginning stage, you MUST establish your blog as a useful resource that people can turn to. Promoting affiliate products should be a by-the-way thing.

For example, while teaching people how to promote their membership websites, there may be some traffic tools that you can recommend.

You are more likely to make sales if you focus on providing useful advice rather than focusing on promoting the product.

Should I Build A List?

2009-10-18T11:28:00.003+11:00

In my previous post, I wrote an article on Should I Start A Blog or a Website First? and some of you shared very good comments in the blog. Today I shall attempt to discuss another common question - “Should I build a list?”.

To kick start the discussion, let’s take a look at what I did when I first started online……

I built an info-rich website in an unpopular niche. As the website started getting some traffic, I prepared an email tutorial series, delivered through autoresponder, as a bait to entice visitors to opt-in to my list. Every email tutorial sends the reader back to my website to read the full tutorial that has Adsense ads in it. Within each tutorial, I also try to promote affiliate products. Other than that, I do not follow up with the list anymore.

Did I regret spending time to build the list? Not at all. Despite my lack of maintenance, it is still adding a few hundreds into my pocket every year, until today.

If you are going to spend time and money promoting a website, yet you are not building a list, you are leaving money on the table, period.

But DO NOT build a list for the sake of building one. In the past, I may simply build a list by offering a PLR or MRR ebook, thinking that I will follow up with the list in the future. I never did. Yes, I’m lazy, but I believe most of you are lazy too.

If you were to build a list, you have to know EXACTLY how you intend to monetize the list. Else, list building will really be a waste of time for you.

In my example above, I offered a free tutorial. Those who opt-in are looking forward to that tutorial. When an email tutorial comes to them, they must go online to read the tutorial. And I monetize every tutorial through Adsense and affiliate sales.

I always tell my regular advertisers that if they are spending money to advertise, they should build a list, especially when they are advertising products in the same niche. But they often tell me things like:

Should I Start A Blog Or Website First?

2009-10-10T00:18:00.002+11:00

Should I start a blog or website first? I believe this is a common question many newbies ask nowadays.

To answer this question, you must first ask yourself what is your objective?

Are you trying to:

- sell your own product?
- make money as an affiliate?
- make money from advertising such as Adsense?
- Or you simply want to share your knowledge with the world (and make some money in the process)?

() Sell your own product….

If you are trying to sell your own product, the answer is obvious. You should first have your product website.

You should focus your initial effort in getting traffic from joint venture and advertising, and building a list. You should not waste your time blogging to thin air (assuming you are totally new and has no traffic sources).

BUT as soon as you have a substantial list, say 1000 subscribers, you can start blogging, with 2 intentions in mind: 1) to build relationship and sales, and 2) to build search engine traffic “for the future”.

() Make money as an affiliate….

With so many ways to make money as an affiliate, it’s impossible for me to cover the details here. But whichever way you use, starting with a blog is definitely not the fast way and certainly not the way I would recommend.

You can start with a presell website, advertise to get targeted traffic and sales. Or you can start with a squeeze page to build a targeted list.

You should start a blog ONLY when you have a list, and you should blog with 2 intentions in mind: 1) to build relationship with your list and make more sales, and 2) to build more traffic from the search engine.

() Make money from advertising such as Adsense….

How about building many blogs on different niches, optimizing them for search engine traffic and monetizing them through Adsense?

Compared to static HTML websites, blog indeed offers a better alternative because you can easily make changes to your blog through templates.

But as your empire gets bigger, you may realize that it becomes troublesome to manage so many blogs, with so many different logins, databases and templates. I believe there are software that you can use to mass manage blogs, especially Wordpress self-hosted blogs.

How To Drive Traffic To Your Blog

2009-10-02T23:00:00.007+10:00

“I am a blogger with Adsense now and I need to know what I can do in LeadsLeap to improve my traffic to my blogs to make money from the ads?” - Love in Jesus, Marina.

There are many things you can do in LeadsLeap to drive traffic to your blog. Here are some of the ways I can think of:

Step 1: Set up your LeadsLeap ad

The easiest way to drive traffic to your blog is to set up your LeadsLeap ad. If you have an ‘okay’ written ad, it should drive some traffic to your blog. If you upgrade your account, it will drive more traffic to your blog. If you’re using a free account, make sure that you have positive credits in your account or you should build a team that you can advertise to.

Step 2: Build a list

As a blogger, you must understand the pros and cons of a blog.

A blog is good at attracting Search Engine Traffic and building relationship with your prospects. But it is not effective in retaining traffic, especially traffic generated from advertising.

This means if you advertise your blog, chances are you are driving traffic ‘through’ your blog, i.e. the traffic just come and go.

To me, that’s a waste.

You should try to retain the traffic (a.k.a build a list) so that you can drive this traffic back to your blog again and again.

You can easily build a list with two of the tools provided in LeadsLeap:

Google Adsense Marketing (Proof: $200 A Day)

2009-09-30T09:35:00.006+10:00

One decision that I made in September 2006 was to embark on the trend of Google Adsense marketing, i.e. building content websites to make money with Adsense.

3 years have past. This month, September 2009, I broke my first $200 a day in my Adsense account. See my account screenshot below:

One year ago, in September 2008, I would be happy to see a $100-day Adsense earning. See my September 2008 screenshot below:

Though I make more money from other online businesses, if you ask me which business is my favourite, I’ll tell you it’s Adsense marketing!

Here’s why I prefer Adsense marketing over all my other online businesses……

Step 1: I don’t have to worry about the day-to-day customer support, client support etc. Almost no maintenance required.

Step 2: I can ignore my Adsense sites for months (or perhaps years) if I choose to.

Step 3: The traffic to these Adsense sites seems to increase every month (100% SEO traffic). With my busy schedule everyday, I hardly have time to promote these sites, not to mention adding more contents.

Step 4: Last but not least, my earnings from Adsense marketing seem to keep on increasing months after months, even during one of the worst economic crisis!

With the economy recovering, I have no doubt that one day, Adsense marketing will become my main source of income.

For those of you who are keen to take on the path of Adsense marketing, let me share with you some of my pitfalls and blessings in Adsense marketing.

My Pitfalls In Adsense Marketing

Step 1: Believing that those plug-and-play Adsense marketing programs are better

During the initial months when I started on Adsense marketing, I doubted if my method was correct. I bought into several plug-and-play Adsense marketing programs by those experts in the industry, thinking that they know better.

I wasted a few months and some money in those programs. Since then, I stopped thinking that the grass is greener on the other side!

Step 2: Expecting every site to do equally well

I was lucky to have my first 2 or 3 sites turn out to be successful. But subsequently, I had many sites that were not performing as well as I expected. Being doubtful and ensure, I purchased more books and tried other tactics. That was bad because new tactics slowed down my momentum and those sites built with the new tactics have different layout and are hard to mass-manage now.

Now I am ‘immune’ to failed sites. Just keep building and keep promoting the same way that I used to do. Some will become a cash cow soon; some may take a year, some may never. I learn to treat my Adsense sites as an integrated business. So long as the total earnings grow, I’m not worried about the performance of individual site.

How To Promote Affiliate Products - My Preferred Way

2009-09-19T09:53:00.001+10:00

There are many ways to promote affiliate products. Of all the methods, my preferred way is to create “my own product” and promote affiliate products indirectly.

“My own product” can be in the form of a content website, a blog, a forum, a piece of software that I give away to build list or a free online application or service.

The key concept here is that I’m building and promoting traffic for my own product. As i do so, I’m at the same time channeling traffic to other products I’m affiliated to.

Most affiliates are attracted to the idea of promoting affiliate products without a website or with a simple one-page site. I agree these are faster way to make money. The problem is the growth potential is limited.

Building a business is not about making money. It’s about building a long-lasting asset, a cash cow that you can milk for many years.

An example of how to promote affiliate products by creating your own product:

Recently I came across a website called instantdomainsearch.com. It’s fast becoming one of my favorite sites.

Free Targeted Web Traffic - $202.90 In Affiliate Commission

2009-09-12T15:14:00.002+10:00

I just received $202.90 in affiliate commission from one of my niche websites that I have not touched for several years. Not bad, considering that I hardly spend time on that website.

In today’s blog, I’m going to explain to you how you can do the same.

What I’ve done is probably the most traditional form of affiliate marketing, where I create a content website educating people on a niche topic and recommend products that I’m affiliated to.

For years, the website has been receiving free targeted web traffic from the search engines. In fact, it has been ranking in the top 3 position in Google for some important keywords in that niche.

Not to beat around the bush, here’s exactly how to do it:

Step 1: First, you need relevant content.

For example, if you are promoting stock trading products, your first move is to create a website teaching people how to trade the stock market.

To your visitors, your website should look like a good resource center where they can learn about stock trading.

But from marketing angle, your website is actually made up of articles that are written to target certain keywords so as to get free targeted web traffic from the search engines.

Step 2: Next, you need backlinks.

With targeted keywords and great articles, the next element you need is backlink.

Keyword + Content + Backlinks = Endless Search Engine Traffic

How To Get Listed On First Page Of Google Under 24 Hours

2009-08-25T16:56:00.002+10:00

Yesterday I received a demanding question in our support ticket. Here’s the question:

“I want to start to promote product, i have decided to start to promote your product but i want you to teach me free of charge step-by-step guide that i can take on how i can create blog/review/report for your products that will make the blog/review/report that i will create for your products be listed on the first page of google search engine under 24 hours. Please, include any details that can help me to achieve that very fast so that the blog/review/report that i will create for your products will be listed on the first page of google search engine very fast under 24 hours before any other person do so.”

Initially I didn’t want to reply this question because it’s really out of the scope of our support. But on second thought, I decided to write the answer in our blog because it will be useful to our members.

Now let’s get into our discussion today: “How to get your product review page listed on the first page of Google search engine under 24 hours”.

Step 1: Decide what keyword phrase you want to rank for

Anyone with some knowledge in SEO can easily rank first in Google for the keyword phrase “pineapple durian cookie” because there is virtually zero competition for this keyword phrase.

But what’s the point? No one will search for this phrase.

So the first step is to find a keyword phrase that is low in competition but with good demand. How to do it? Well, I wrote the step by step instruction in our blog some time back.

Totally Free Domain Hosting Recommendation

2009-08-09T10:24:00.003+10:00

Most free domain hosting services have some kinds of limitation. Some may not support certain scripting, some may not provide database and some may disable cron settings.

Recently, one of our members recommended a totally free domain hosting service. I helped him to set up our List Builder Script on the server and I’m truly impressed with this free domain hosting service.

Here’re what I like about this free domain hosting service:

1) It’s totally ads free.
2) It uses Cpanel website control panel (this is very important!)
3) It provides Awstat traffic stat (a useful tracking tool).
4) It provides unlimited mysql database, pop3 emails.
5) It supports most scripting, including php, cgi, perl etc.

In short, it has almost everything I need for domain hosting. If you are running a small site such as a simple squeeze page or content website, it should be good enough. Moreover, it’s totally free!

Pitfalls Of Using Free Domain Hosting

I recommend this free domain hosting service because of its excellent technical feature, but in general, I discourage beginners from using any free domain hosting because of 2 important reasons:

1) It will greatly reduce your chance of online success

If you ask me what is the most important factor in online success, I’ll tell you it’s your commitment.

Are you TRYING to make some money online or you MUST make money online?

Most beginners are not committed. If you are a newbie and you say you are 100% committed, you are lying. I’m quite sure about that!

Want to know how most beginners become committed? They become committed when their pockets hurt!

How To Make Money Online For Beginners

2009-08-01T23:44:00.001+10:00

Most of the “How to make money online for beginners” articles on the web are either trying to sell a turnkey money making system or attempt to provide a huge list of a-z ways to make money online. But none of them have the answer I have in mind.

That’s why I decided to write my own version of how to make money online for beginners.

I started reading about how people made money online since 1999. Like many beginners, I opted-in to many gurus’ lists, reading their newsletters, trying and failing different opportunities.

At that time, information was pretty fragmented. Different gurus seem to have different ways to make money online. I was learning, trying, failing and confused.

Later I learnt that there is a technical term for this stage. It’s called initial perturbation. It happens whenever we are exposed to something new. It’s the beginning of a new learning process.

So my first ‘how to make money online’ advice for beginners is - be ready to learn, try, fail and get confused. It’s a natural process anyone will have to go through. During this time, you’re subconsciously building your industry knowledge, marketing senses and business acumen.

In 2005, I had an opportunity to help my employer at that time to build a simple company website. No one in the company knew about website building, so I volunteered to build one.

Did I know anything about website building? Not at all. I picked up a book called Frontpage For Dummies, read it over a weekend and spent the next one week building the company’s website after the office hours. With the basic website building skill, I started building all kinds of websites. That’s when the real game started.

2 Overlooked SEO Tricks That Can Double Your Traffic

2009-07-25T14:20:00.002+10:00

It’s no longer a secret that the way to get good ranking in the search engines is to build backlinks. But besides backlinks, there are two other SEO tricks that are important but often overlooked. These two factors can play a significant role in getting SEO traffic.

Today we are going to discuss these 2 overlooked SEO tricks that can easily double your search engine traffic.

1) Title That Clicks

If you are a blogger or content website builder, besides choosing the right keyword and optimizing it, you should spend some time to come out with a title that will entice people to click.

Think about it. Even if your website rank #1 in the search result, if the title of the link is boring, people will just skip your link and move on to the next result.

This is commonsense, but it’s often overlooked, especially for those who outsource article writing.

Personally, although I outsource article writing for my content websites (aka Adsense websites), I still put in the effort to rewrite every title personally. This is because freelance writers are good in writing, but they are often not good in writing juicy title.

I run a program where I help members to promote their Adsense website (membership closed). The method I use to promote their websites is the exact same method that I use to promote mine. But strange enough, my Adsense websites perform much better than theirs. Honestly I can’t think of a logical explanation except for the fact that my titles are juicier than theirs!

2) Turn Every Webpage Into A Resource Center

If you haven’t noticed, besides backlinks, Google has been putting more weight in the ‘resourcefulness’ of a webpage.

Note that I say resourcefulness of a ‘webpage’, not ‘website’.

The idea is this:

How To Drive Traffic To A New Website?

2009-07-15T12:36:00.002+10:00

Before you start to drive traffic to your new website, you need to get a second opinion on the website. Just get your siblings and close friends to take a look at your website, subscribe to the list and go through the entire sales process. Ask them for their opinions. Now, 99% of the time, they are going to say they are not interested in your offer. That’s expected because they are not your target audience. You just want them to comment on the look and feel of your website. You want to make sure that your new website looks professional in the eyes of others.

Once you know that you have a well-designed and working website, you are ready to drive traffic to it.

First, if you have a list, promote it to your own list. You can use this chance to test how well your new website is converting.

You can also advertise in places that can get you targeted traffic.

Initially, you may have to modify your squeeze page and sales letter to improve the conversion rate. Once you are comfortable with the conversion rate, you can then increase your advertising budget. You can also start looking for JV partners to promote your website.

How To Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

2009-07-11T00:11:00.002+10:00

My objective of this article is to give you an overview of how to make money with affiliate marketing, so that you can make a better decision on how you want to kick start with affiliate marketing.

Generally, I can categorize the different ways of making money with affiliate marketing into 3 basic ways. Let’s discuss each of them……

1) First Way - Direct Promotion

The first way to make money with affiliate marketing is by promoting the affiliated product directly .

A popular idea that many beginners are taught is to find a good product from Clickbank, create an ad for it and advertise to get traffic and sales.

Or if it’s a business opportunity, one may simply advertise the affiliate link to get traffic and downlines.

This method of making money looks very attractive, especially among the newbies. Some marketers I’ve spoken to said that this is their preferred method because the money is fast and they don’t have to bother about customer service and site maintenance.

This may be the easiest way to start making money with affiliate marketing. But if you ask me for advice, I would suggest that you put in a bit more effort and move beyond this method.

Reason: If you’ve been reading my work, you’ll know that I don’t fancy quick money. My focus is always on ‘building’. For long term success, you need to spend your time building something, either build a list, a network, a website or a community. What I don’t like about this method is you’re sending your hard earned traffic away, without building anything for yourself.

2) Second Way - Build A List

A better alternative to the first approach is to build a list. Instead of sending the traffic directly to your affiliated site, you focus your marketing effort in building a list FIRST, promoting other affiliated products LATER.

There are many variations to this method.

One Easy Way To Get Free Targeted Web Traffic

2009-07-04T10:27:00.003+10:00

There are many ways to get free targeted web traffic, including article marketing, search engine optimization, forum marketing etc. But today, we are not going to discuss any of those.

We are going to talk about a more ‘advanced’ way to get free targeted web traffic.

I describe it as ‘advanced’ because this method may seem overwhelming for newbies. But if you are an experienced marketer or willing to get your hands dirty, it’s not difficult at all.

The trick is to provide a free web-based application that is useful to your targeted traffic.

Let me show you a real-life example:

Seobook.com is a website selling SEO training. Its targets are people interested in search engine optimization. One strategy that this company uses to get free targeted traffic is by providing free SEO tools such as keyword research tool, SEO plugin for Firefox etc.

Isn’t it a commonsense traffic strategy? Anyone using the tools will become their potential customers.

Yes, it will take some initial effort to promote your free tool to the community you’re targeting. But once the power of word of mouth sets in, you can see free targeted web traffic coming to your website like clockwork.

If you haven’t realized, that is one of the strategies that we adopt to generate targeted traffic for our members - YOU.

We develop different kinds of marketing and advertising tools that our members can use to generate leads. Since all the tools carry a link to our website, some traffic will come to our website. Some will join our membership, read our blog and visit other members websites via the ads in our network.

3 Simple Steps To Create Your Own Traffic Bait

Now that you understand the principles behind this strategy, the next question is, how to create your own tool that you can use to get free targeted web traffic?

Below are 3 easy steps that I use all the time:

1) Come out with a good idea

You don’t need to be too creative, but you need to know what are the tools your market needs.

Great ideas are usually solutions to problems. Thus, identifying problems is your first step in generating great ideas.

For example, before I came out with the idea of Affiliate ID Manager (a viral software that we give away in LeadsLeap), I was saving tons of login IDs and passwords in my Outlook mailbox and Excel spreadsheets. It was a real mess at that time. Then I asked myself what if there is a software that can manage all the IDs….. And the result of this thought is Affiliate ID Manager, which is available to you now.

How To Make Life Changing Income: Net Bug Video Advertising Network Review:

2009-06-24T13:31:00.020+10:00

NetBug Video Network - Watch Videos and GET PAID plus lots more.

(Notice: The membership area will not be open or available for viewing until July 04th.)

I would like to invite you to a new, exciting program, sure to interest many people across the World. This should be a Grand Adventure.

* It's Easy! You watch videos... You Get Paid!

* When you refer others to Net Bug... You Get Paid!

* They pay their monthly fees... You Get Paid!

* Your referrals buy Ad packs and... You Get Paid!

* When their referrals buy ad packs... You Get Paid!

* When your free members buy an ad... You Get Paid!

* When their free members buy an ad... You Get Paid!

Everytime You Refer A New $39.90 Member You'll Get 50% For Your Fast Start Bonus Commission.

Everytime One Of Your Referrals, Refer A $39.90 Member you'll get 25% Of Their Commission - this line does not end!

==> www.Net-Bug-Advertising.com

This is set to be a very simple and very powerful affiliate plan...

Here's how it works, everyone you refer to a $39.90 Net Bug membership earns you a 50% ( $19.95 ) Fast Start Bonus commission.

Your next income stream is: the people that you refer will often refer some number of other people, when they do, we pay you 25% of the new sign up.

This means you make money on all the people you refer to membership and also all the people that the people you refer, refer!

$39.90 sign up fee X your 25% commission = $9.97

Your next income stream: will be your monthly residual income, as not only do you make money when they join, but you also make money every month they make a payment.

And again this is for all the people you referred to membership and all the people they then referred to membership.

Your Tier I monthly payment of 39.90 X your monthly commission at 25% which is $9.97 and...

Your Tier II monthly residual monthly commission at 12.5% which is $4.98

==> www.Net-Bug-Advertising.com

Let's do a very reasonable example of what you can expect...

Let's say you bring in 50 people in your first month. You will make approximately $2,000.00 in commissions.

Now let's say that those 50 people bring in 10 each for a total of 500 new members. You get paid $9.97 for each of those for a total of $4,985.00. Now add those two numbers together for a subtotal commission of $6,985.00 for month number one.

If you do that each month, you will be adding $6,985.00 each month to your previous commissions already coming to you from your monthly residual income...

These are low numbers and of course you may do much less or much more, but you get the point of how much commissions you can earn.

Advertising Pack Commissions

Your next income stream is from advertising sales. And just like the membership commissions you also get income from your Tier I referrals and you get income from all of their referrals ad pack purchases!

You make 10% of all ad pack purchases from your referrals and you make 1% of all your tier II's ad pack sales as well.

You Get 10% Ad Purchase Commissions On Your Referrals

You Also Get 1% Of Ad Purchases From Every One The People You Referred's, Referrals!

==> www.Net-Bug-Advertising.com

Ad pack commission chart

*Important Notice: If you refer someone to Net Bug and they choose to become a free member and at any point decide to purchase an ad pack, we will pay you the same full commissions on all advertising, and will also pay you on second tier commissions!

Let's look at an example...

When someone you refer purchases and ad pack for between $10.25 and $500.00 you will get 10% of that purchase, every time they purchase.

And when someone you referred, refers someone else who purchases and ad pack you get 1% of that amount for your commission.

Now imagine that you have 100 people purchasing ad packs... ok now imagine that your 100 people have referred 200 people who sometimes buy ad packs too...

You get 10% of all the advertising purchases of your 100 direct referrals + you get 1% of all 200 people that your referral members, referred to net bug.

And you get this money every time any of them buy advertising. Imagine dozens or hundreds of people buying advertising that you get a cut on...

Your next income stream is: remember you'll be getting at least $.10 each video that you watch too!

==> www.Net-Bug-Advertising.com

Enjoy!

Tips On Using Adwords For Affiliate Marketing

2009-06-18T10:23:00.002+10:00

Today’s discussion is on using Adwords for affiliate marketing. It is my reply to the question from our member, HuiTzy.

I found her question pretty informative and it will relate to many of our members. I’m going to show her question in orange color and my comment or reply in black, so you can follow my train of thought as you go along.

Ready? Let’s start……

Firstly a very quick thanks for all the services you are providing i.e. your blog, product and free coaching.

I am currently setting up Adwords Campaign to drive traffic to affiliate products. My goal now is to “test” which of them are profitable and worth my time to further invest.

Here are my steps:
1) select several related niches eg: how to stop procrastination, how to increase productivity, how to focus. (I am doing this so that when I am going to advance level I can cross promote my list.)

The idea of related niche is good, but if you are a beginner, you may be thinking too big. If I were you, I’ll diversify as much as possible and test different niches from different industries.

Your selection of products to promote should be based on how well they are selling, regardless of whether they are in related niche. A good practice is to go to Clickbank.com > Marketplace and check the gravity rating. For example, if you search for products related to procrastination, most of the gravity ratings are less than 5. You can treat gravity ratings as a measure of how well a product is selling. Popular products usually have a gravity of more than 100. 5 is really way to low.

Instead of thinking of related niches, my advice is to fight a guerilla war, diversity and attack only products that sell well. Don’t think of going to any advance level. Take this chance to brush up your advertising and marketing skills.

2) select two affiliate products or more that I think will sell for each of the niches.

If you are doing a review page, you can promote 2 to 3 similar products at the same time. If you are advertising the products individually, you should treat each product as independent entity and select base on how well they are selling.

For your info, for each product that you test, you are likely to spend up to $100 before you can tell if the product is profitable. If you test 2 products in 5 niches, that’s 10 products in total and it can cost you $1000 to test. If you are mentally and financially unprepared, you chance of giving up prematurely is extremely high.

3) set up adwords campaign for each of the products.
4) track them so that i can know which keyword(s) and product(s) is/are profitable.
5) focus on those profitable products and scale up the sale.

Currently I am in step 3 and I am wondering should I directly link my ads to the sale page or to my own landing page? Based on what I heard, it is always good to link to landing page instead of sale page and landing page is also sort of “pre-sell” page. BUT I just want to so called “test” the market and I don’t want to spend too much time in this step. Only when I know I am able to convert well from that particular product or niche, I will then put all my focus in marketing such as building list, pre-sell, provide incentive etc. So I would like to hear what’s your opinion.

How To Find Testimonials For Your Presell Page

2009-06-13T23:43:00.006+10:00

Last time we discussed how to write an affiliate presell page and one reader asked “how to find testimonials for the presell page”. I thought this is an interesting topic and many of you probably have the same question.

So in today’s blog, let’s discuss the different ways to find testimonials for your presell page….

1) Your own testimonial

There is no doubt that the best testimonial is from your personal experience with the product. You can provide your own proof, such as earning or traffic screenshots, to show the prospects that what you’re promoting is indeed a good product that works.

But if you are promoting hundred and one things, or you’ve just started an online opportunity, it’s almost impossible for you to have your own testimonial. In that case, you need to resort to other creative alternatives.

2) Get from the product seller

I briefly discussed this last week. You can either use testimonials from the product sales page or email the product seller for more testimonials.

Given a choice, it’s better not to use the same testimonials as the ones in the product sales page. The reason is obvious - you don’t want your prospects to see that those testimonials are not independent.

Most product sellers will be happy to facilitate you with more testimonials, with photographs if you request. Some sellers even have a dedicated page that lists down all the testimonials they’ve received. You can select those that are not used in the sales page for your presell page.

How To Write An Affiliate Presale Letter

2009-06-06T13:22:00.013+10:00

For those who are advertising as an affiliate, I always advice them to write their own affiliate presale letter instead of advertising the standard sales page prepared by the product owner. There are 3 important reasons why such move is advisable:

1. People believe a 3rd party more than the product owner, even if they don’t know you! Your presale letter is the best tool to deliver your confidence in the product.

2. By not revealing too much about the product in your presale letter, you can increase prospects’ curiosity and they will be more interested to read through the actual sales letter.

3. You have more control over your advertised page. For example, you can build a list, follow up with the prospects and sell them other products. You can also track the click through rate to the sales page and determine if you are advertising to the correct target audience.

The big challenge is, how to write an effective affiliate presale letter?

Below is a simple format that has been working for me……

1) Story telling

A presale letter typically begins with the classic Feel-Felt-Found method which goes something like this… “I understand how you ‘FEEL’…. I was in your position before and I ‘FELT’ the same before…. Now I finally ‘FOUND’ the solution….

That’s only the beginning.

How Best To Get Internet Network Marketing Leads

2009-05-06T21:51:00.004+10:00

Apparently there are many ways to get internet network marketing leads. Different network marketing gurus will claim to have their proprietary leads generation methods.

I don’t have any proprietary leads generation methods. But I do know some effective ways to get internet network marketing leads and I’m going to discuss some of them here.

1) Just Advertise

Almost all internet network marketing companies have their standard lead capture squeeze page. If your company doesn’t have one, run away from it.

The easiest way to get quick networking marketing leads is to advertise the lead capture page in ‘established’ lead generation websites.

I’ve seen many of my customers (my advertisers) getting good response using this simple method.

One warning is that if your network marketing company is a popular one, this method will not be effective. This is because the lead capture page has been overused. Fresh and interesting lead capture page usually can generate better response.

2) Create Your Own Lead Capture Page

As I said, fresh and interesting lead capture page usually can generate better response. So instead of relying on your company’s standard promotion tools, why not create your own lead capture page?

Of course, in order to create one, you need to learn copywriting, basic html etc.

How To Build A List?

2009-05-01T12:23:00.005+10:00

OK, first things first, stop dreaming!

Many marketers promote internet marketing as a lazy way to make money. To a certain extent, it is. But if you talk about list building, it’s definitely not a lazy way to make money.

If you think all you need is an opt-in form and people will flood into your list, you’ll be wondering why your list building effort is in vain.

First of all, you got to ask yourself the following questions:

- Is your sales letter powerful enough to get people’s attention?
- Is your offer appealing enough such that people bother to opt-in to get it?
- Is your sales letter convincing enough to get people to take immediate action?

If your answer is ‘no’ to any of the 3 questions, you should first brush up your copywriting and marketing skills, before even talking about where to get the traffic.

I hope I’m clear on this point.

How To Do Online Business Advertising

2009-04-25T23:21:00.001+10:00

If you are serious about doing business online, it’s important to learn how to do online business advertising. Whether the traffic source is free or paid, if you do not understand the basics of doing online advertising, the traffic you’ve generated will be wasted.

Recently a ‘rich’ surveying company advertised with us. When I looked at the ad, I almost fainted. It was a simple sign up form, expecting people to sign up without telling them anything about the company or the offer. Isn’t it common sense to ask oneself “will I act on this ad?” before one spend money advertising the ad?

In today’s discussion on how to do online business advertising, I’m going to share with you 3 “MUST-HAVE” elements in your ad before you even start thinking where to advertise it.

Hope that helps.

1. WIIFM “in 5 seconds”

WIIFM stands for “what’s in it for me”.

If you don’t tell people what’s in it for them, they are not going to be interested in your ad, not to mention taking action.

The problem with many advertisers is that their WIIFM is scattered all over the sales copy. One has to seriously read through the sales copy to identify them. Unfortunately, most sales copies are not read and thus the WIIFM message is not delivered.

For effective online business advertising, your ad must address the question of WIIFM within 5 seconds after a prospect first look at your ad. If not, you are losing them, period.

This means your headline, subheadline and the first paragraph of your sales copy play an important role in deciding whether a prospect will continue reading your ad or simply leave the page.

How to start learning web programming from scratch

2009-04-22T21:50:00.004+10:00

I’ll answer this in 2 parts:

1) How to start learning web programming from scratch

For beginners, it can be pretty boring to learn web programming. I believe no one enjoys reading programming books or tutorials.

My way of learning web programming, such as html, is “purposeful learning”. The idea of “purposeful learning” is to set a goal to create a particular website and then simply ‘learn ENOUGH’ to serve that purpose.

It will be more fun if you do so.

For example, if you have not created any website before, you set a goal to create your first content website with an aim to make money from Google Adsense.

With this goal in mind, your next job is to start asking questions.

After all these years, I slowly believe that Google has all the answers, as long as you know how to ask the right question.

Some of the question you may start asking may include:

- step by step website building guide
- how to build a content website
- html tutorial for beginners

As you start learning and building your first website bit by bit, your question will become more specific and technical. Soon, you will be asking more technical question such as:

- how to add an opt-in form
- how to create dynamic navigation
- how to add a hyperlink

“Purposeful learning” can be fun, challenging and addictive! The more you know, the more you realize that you don’t know. The more you learn, the more you need to learn.

How To Make Money With Google Adsense

2009-04-15T18:37:00.002+10:00

Learning how to make money with Google Adsense is probably the easiest way to make money online.

In this article, I will show you what it takes to make money with Google Adsense and more importantly, how I got started making money with Google Adsense.

Get ready for some interesting screenshots……

How Much Money Can You Make With Google Adsense?

The sky is the limit, frankly.

But one thing about Google Adsense is that you are not likely to earn a lot of money right from the beginning.

Seriously ask yourself this question:

Would you like to be paid $4k a month? Or being paid $0 in the first month but getting a pay rise of $100 every month thereafter?

If your answer is the former, Google Adsense may not be for you.

But if your answer is the latter, that’s the kind of money Google Adsense can give you - at the minimum!

An Online Business? How To

2009-04-04T13:22:00.001+11:00

Recently I’m getting more friends and relatives asking me how to start an online business. It’s not rocket science, but it’s not easy maths too.

Starting an online business is pretty much the same as starting a brick and mortar business, except that the cost is much lower and so is the risk.

When I say it’s pretty much the same as a brick and mortar business, I also mean that you need to be entrepreneurial, to be able to ’smell’ the needs in a market and to have a vision. Are entrepreneurs born or breed? I don’t know. What I believe is, if you think you are, you are.

So, if you are entrepreneurial and want to learn how to start an online business, read on……

Step 1: Never reinvent the wheel

Believe me. Almost all the smart and innovative ideas you can think of are already done by someone else online, in one way or another. If you think you’ve a unique online business idea, it just means that you’ve not done enough research.

So, if you have any online business idea, the first thing you need to do is head over to Google and type in some keywords related to your business idea. Thoroughly check out all the top websites that provide similar product or service. This means you may have to try out their products/services and find out their pros and cons.

Next, you have to evaluate those pros and cons and come out with a BETTER idea.

Remember, the job of an entrepreneur is not to invent things. His job is to seek proven business ideas, improve on those ideas and get a piece of the pie out of the market, preferably a bigger piece.

Step 2: Think of the marketing system

Most newbie entrepreneurs have one problem. They spend too much time trying to perfect their products.

Having a good product is important. But what’s more important is the marketing system.

Without a good marketing system, no matter how good your product is, it’s going to be hard for your online business to grow.

Regardless of what you sell, your marketing system should answer 3 important questions:

- How can the system attract and capture a list of potential users and/or customers?
- How can you make the system viral, such that users will refer more users?
- How to convert prospects into customers?

For example, recently I developed a great online tool (I think) that can help me to manage all my stocks (I’m talking about the stock market). I believe if I roll this service out to the market, someone will be willing to pay for it. But before I even think of developing the tool for the multiple users, I first have to think of the 3 questions above.

How To Write Text Ads That Get Clicked On

2009-03-18T09:42:00.005+11:00

There is a simple formula that I use to write text ad or almost any other types of ads. Today, I’ll share this formula with you.

My Simple Formula To Write Text Ad

Writing text ad is an art. Different marketers have different style of writing.

For me, I follow a simple formula. My formula is:

A-E-A

A - Attention
E - Expectation
A - Action

Most text ads are made up of a headline (or title) and a text body.

The objective of the headline is to grab Attention.

The objective of the text body is to build Expectation and call to Action.

For example, I may write an ad like this:

I Made $6K in my First Month
Learn Exactly How I Did It.
Free Download.

Can you see how I use the A-E-A formula in this example?

How To Write Attention Grabbing Headline Or Title?

There are many ways to write a headline or title that grabs attention.

For example, you can ask a question that invokes curiosity. You can also tell a story like I did in the example above.

One simple way is to use some power words that can capture people’s attention.

Some of these power words include: How To, Secrets, Free, Download, Exposed, Save, Amazing, Time-Sensitive, Proven, Step-By-Step, Shocking Truth, Cheap, Urgent.

Why Build Expectation?

Once you grab the prospects’ attention, you need to tell your prospects what they can expect from you after clicking your ad.

This is the hardest part and if it’s done right, 90% of the battle is won.

An Easy Way To Get Targeted Website Traffic

2009-02-07T10:03:00.002+11:00

I have said in my previous blog posts that the most effective online advertising is one that gets the most targeted traffic to your website. But how do you get targeted website traffic? Where do you find all the targeted prospects who may be interested in buying what you have to offer?

Apparently there are many ways to find targeted website traffic.

For example, almost for any niche, you can use Pay Per Click advertising to get targeted traffic to your website. But Pay Per Click can be costly if you do not have a good sales process.

There is another easy way to get targeted website traffic without spending much money. But many people are not using it.

The method is to get the targeted traffic from other people’s list - also known as joint venture. But it’s not what you think.

You see, the internet has developed into a stage where almost every active online user is on someone’s list, depending on what their interests are.

A dog lover is on the list of some dog training gurus, an opportunity seeker is on the list of some internet marketing gurus and so on.

So if you want to penetrate into any market niche, your job really is to think of a JV proposal that is mutually beneficial and get your targeted traffic directly from the list owners in your niche.

If you can rinse and repeat this single technique, you will be the next guru in your own niche in no time.

Many years back, a 24-year-old newbie online marketer went round asking other newbie marketers to contribute a chapter to his new ebook, on the agreement that each of them will promote the free ebook to their lists. This newbie marketer did this trick a few times with different internet marketers and soon became one of the renowned gurus in the IM industry.

Can you see how simple this idea is? It’s a win-win-win situation. The organizer and contributors win by getting more exposure and thus building their lists. The people in their lists win by getting great tips for free. But the organizer wins the most, since he gets the most exposure by being the organizer.

I’m sure you can do something like this too, can’t you?

Today, this simple tactic has evolved into something more complicated and powerful. Instead of contributing just one chapter, hundreds of marketers now group together to giveaway free ebooks, MP3s, videos and software.

2 Online Advertising Strategies That Work

2009-01-31T16:49:00.002+11:00

Today I’m going to share with you two simple online advertising strategies - one is pretty common and the other one is hardly known!

I call the first strategy “Review And Compare”, and the second strategy “Review And Complement”.

Online Advertising Strategy #1 - Review And Compare

This is the most common strategy used by many online advertisers.

The idea is to pick 2-3 similar products and compare their pros and cons.

You probably have seen such online advertisements before.

There are two approaches to deploy the Review And Compare strategy. One works better than the other.

1) “Independent Review” approach

In this approach, you simply provide an independent review of the 2-3 products that you’re comparing. Many online advertisers will give some star-ratings to the products and ‘purposely’ award more stars to the product that they support.

This advertising approach has been overly used and to be frank, it is not as effective as the second approach below.

2) “Personal Touch” approach

In this approach, instead of writing an independent review, you position yourself as the user of both products that you’re comparing.

The idea is to share your personal experience with the prospects and tell them which product works better for you.

For example, if you are promoting a make money online product, your story can be something like this:

“My name is blar blar blar. I’ve been struggling to make money online….(tell your sad story). Finally I decided to try out product XXX and product YYY….(describe the two products). With product XXX, I made $. But with product YYY, I made $$$. Since product YYY made me more money, if you want my recommendation, I will recommend product YYY. But to be honest, both products have their pros and cons. Here’s my full review of the two products…..”

In your online advertisement (a.k.a. your presell letter), you should include your photograph and email address so that people know that you are real.

The gist of this “personal touch” approach is to appear real and honest. You want to do everything you can to deliver the following messages:

- I’m a real person and I’m reachable.
- I experienced the problem that you’re experiencing now.
- I’ve tried and tested both products.
- Here’s the result I get after trying both products. If you follow what I do, you too should get the same result.

I hope you can see why this advertising approach is more powerful than the first one.

This approach is the basis of our second online advertising strategy…..

Online Advertising Strategy #2 - Review And Complement

In the Review And Compare strategy that we discuss above, your objective is to compare different products and help the prospects to decide which one is better. Using this strategy, the prospects will buy at most one product.

On the contrary, in the Review And Complement strategy, your objective is to recommend a line of products that complement each other.

If done correctly, instead of getting people to buy just ONE product out of the few you’re comparing, you may end up having people buying the whole line of products!

See how powerful this advertising strategy is?

To use this strategy effectively, we need to use the “personal touch” approach, i.e. tell your own story.

Your story can be something like this:

Affiliate Traffic Explained - Simple Guide

2009-01-21T14:48:00.003+11:00

This is an article to give you a simple guide on how to get affiliate traffic as an affiliate marketer. It’s also my answer to one of our members’ question below:

“I have been trying to do internet marketing for some client but I have not succeeded. This is by being sales representative of this company and I be paid for every customer who sign up and pay. My problem is that I don’t know how to go about it. Please help me and show me how to do it.” - Susan

Hi Susan, what you’re doing is just a form of affiliate marketing.

In your case, your probably have a personal arrangement with your client instead of through an affiliate network such as ClickBank. But the idea of getting affiliate traffic is essentially the same.

Successful affiliates either own the customers (usually because they already have a high traffic website) or they know where to find the customers (usually through search engines or online advertising).

Understanding this fact, your job of finding affiliate traffic is now simplified.

Bulk Email Auto Responder Comparisons

2009-01-14T11:02:00.002+11:00

Let’s discuss about the different alternatives available for bulk email autoresponder. This topic was inspired by one of our members, Grow, who asked the following question:

“I have collected names, email addresses, some telephone numbers. How do I send info to them if I do not have any autoresponder? Thanks” - Glow

In general, there are 3 ways to send bulk emails. The 3 ways are:

1) Using a bulk email software - free or one time cost
2) Using a subscribed autoresponder service - monthly subscription
3) Installing your own autoresponder script - free or one time cost (but require premium hosting)

Today we’ll discuss how each of the bulk email autoresponder alternative works, and the pros and cons.

1) Using a bulk email software

A bulk email software is not really an autoresponder because you can’t schedule a series of automated email messages. However, it’s an easy way to send mass emails.

With a bulk email software such as WorldCast (free for non-commercial use), you can import a list of names and email addresses, and send personalized bulk emails to the recipients.

PROS: The software works from your computer. No server is required. It works like your email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird, except that it allows you to send personalized emails. Each recipient will receive a personalized email with his name and other customized info.

CONS: Mailing is done via your local ISP (internet service provider), such as AOL. If you mass mail to a huge list, you may get a warning email from your ISP. In the worst case scenario, your account may be suspended. But when I say huge, I’m talking about more than 10,000 people. If you only send to a few hundred people, it’s usually okay.

Long Tail Keyword Research - A Step By Step Guide

2009-01-03T11:38:00.004+11:00

Today we’ve got a question about long tail keyword research from Kelvin Tan. Here’s his question:

“I would like to ask some question about selection of long tail keyword. In PLRPRO video, it’s mentioned that when selecting long tail keyword, we should look out for keyword with 100-1000 search per month and competition around 500,000. Does that mean we have to look for 40 long tail keyword for each of the 40 articles? Please advise.

Is there a guideline for selecting long tail keyword? can you explain a bit in details on how to do it. I know we can see the search via google keyword research tool . Am I correct to say that for example, we select a phrase with 1000 searches. Then I will take the phase and search in google search engine. If the number of website is less than 500,000, I will take this as one of my 40 long tail keyword for my 40 articles?” - Kelvin Tan

I will answer this question in two parts. In part 1, I’ll show you how to conduct long tail keyword research in general.

In part 2, I will discuss about long tail keyword research in relation to PLRPRO.

Essential tools for long tail keyword research

Before I begin, I need to introduce to you 2 essential tools for keyword research.

1) Firefox

Firefox is an alternative to Internet Explorer. You need Firefox so that you can use Tool #2.

2) SEO For Firefox Plugin

With this plugin, you can conduct long tail keyword research and analyze websites easily. I’ll show you how.

Real Ways To Make Online Income

2008-12-17T13:02:00.003+11:00

Today we are going to discuss real ways to make money online. This is a question posted by our member. Here’s his question:

“I have been working on the internet for 4 years now, seriously, trying to find something that really makes money and as of yet I haven’t made but $1. I’ve read books and more books about internet marketing and MLM and Google and on and on but no matter how many ads I place on over 20 sites, either I get no response or I get someone wanting to sell me something. What should I do?” - Ken Drake

Ken, you said that you are seriously trying to find something that really makes money online. But based on what I read from what you’ve written, you are seriously trying to find ‘quick’ ways to make money, not real ways to make online income.

Sorry for being blatant. I arrive at this conclusion because your experience tells me that all you know is about placing ads trying to earn income. That sounds like the common ‘get rich quick’ idea - “Just Signup And Advertise, And Your Will Be Rich”.

It’s not your fault. Most people are like you. They want to make fast online income.

IM Gurus - Who Should You Follow?

2008-12-12T10:14:00.004+11:00

I’m quite sure that you have constantly been bombarded with offers from different internet marketing gurus asking you to buy their products or other guru’s products.

The problem is, every product looks good. Even if you have money to buy all of them, you wouldn’t have the time to study them!

The secret, my friend, is to be selective in which guru you listen to.

Let me share with you a little experience of mine:

Some time ago, someone called me on my mobile phone asking if I was interested in making an extra $50,000 in the next three months.

Well, I bothered to answer that call because she was calling from an internet marketing guru’s office. I know that guru and I’ve purchased some high ticket items from him. That’s probably the reason why they have my number in the first place.

So I told her, “Yes, I’m interested.”

She went on to sell me a coaching program from another guru, whom I have not heard before, in a tactful and professional way and frankly, I was impressed.

Before deciding on whether to buy the coaching program, the first thing I did was to Google for the name of this guru and find out how he makes money.

Based on my research, this guru is a national speaker in the self-help industry. He has written many books and been featured in the national TVs. (I don’t know him because I live in Singapore, not US.)

If you remove all the bells and whistles, this guru basically makes money conducting seminars and coaching programs teaching people how to be successful.

I have no intention to become a speaker, nor am I interested to start any coaching program. So whatever experience that this guru is irrelevant to me.

What I’m try to tell you is don’t blindly listen to a guru simply because he is famous. Look behind the scene and find out what he does for living.

If what the guru does is what you envision to do, by all means, listen to everything he says. Or else, that guru is NOT your guru.

Get what I mean?

Let me give you another example.

How To Increase The Response Rate To Online Advertising

2008-12-06T11:01:00.002+11:00

Nowadays, it is getting harder to get high response rate to online advertising. I am not scaring you but merely stating the fact, from experience.

In the past, a simple squeeze page consisting of a headline, some tips and an opt-in form can easily get an opt-in conversion of 10%. But now, the conversion of such a squeeze page is hardly 5%!

I am utterly surprised that some professionally designed squeeze pages are getting the response rate that I expected.

Is online advertising dead?

I don’t think so. I’m still seeing advertisements with good response rate.

After studying some of the online advertising sales letters with good response rate, I realized that the fundamentals of online advertising has not changed.

The only problem is that the days of short opt-in squeeze pages are gone. Prospects are getting immune to the idea of opting in. Nice graphic and squeeze page design can no longer impress the prospects.

CashJuice (.com) review

2008-11-04T19:20:00.005+11:00

An interesting opportunity to come into view this week was Cash Juice.

Cash Juice show you how you can turn $11.50 into $1,000's and drive 1,000's of people to your website.

==> http://cashflow.cashjuice.com

Getting started is very easy as all the complicated technical stuff is handled by experienced staff.

Before we start, I want you to consider 3 extremely relevant things:

1) Cash Juice is as easy as it sounds and is incredibly user friendly.

2) The potential here is truly awesome, $1,000's and 1,000's of visitors.

3) Although asking $11.50 to get started, an 8 week money back guarantee offers peace of mind.

----------

I discovered that there are 3 major elements to Cash Juice.

1) 1,000's of visitors

2) $1,000's in your pocket

There is also a third that I will explore with you shortly.

3) Recurring income direct into your account every month!

Before I share with you how it's possible to earn mega bucks, I'm going to show you how they can deliver all those valuable visitors to your website.

There are 3 main traffic generators.

The first is the extremely popular keyword cloud. When you add your website, they will automatically, within seconds, check your website and find all valuable keywords.

They then add your website to each of the keywords in the keyword cloud.

On the main site is the keyword cloud which reloads every time the main page is visited.

-------------

Visitors to the site will search the cloud and visit your website.

The second powerful tool is the regular directory. In addition to the cloud, is the listings directory where your website will be permanently listed.

But the most powerful tool is the in-house traffic generator. Every person that joins your Cash Juice, will be asked to view your website before we activate their website.

This traffic generator alone will send your web traffic through the roof!!

-------

But how can you be sure that this will work for you?

Cash Juice are so absolutely confident that you will see a swarm of visitors to your website, that they will give you a FULL no-questions-asked, money back guarantee if you don't.

You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!

But remember, at the same time as delivering you mega traffic, they also fill your pockets!!

------------------

There are 2 ways to earn cash.

1 - The Introductory Starter Bonus
2 - The Mega Recurring Accumulator

The Introductory Starter Bonus

Every time someone adds their website to your Cash Juice, you receive over $5. Refer 10 people and you will instantly receive $50 direct into your account!

Included in your one off starter membership of just $11.50, is setup of your own referral web page. Every time someone clicks your referral link and pays the starter membership, you instantly receive over $5.

It really is this easy, you don't require any experience to get started, just 5 minutes of your time!!

------

The Mega Recurring Level 5 Accumulator

Check out the sample list of names below.

1 Claud Chicago
2 Denise London
3 Mick Normandy, France
4 Sue Florida
5 Darren Portsmouth, England

When you pay your $11.50, at least $5 will go to Claud who you will see is at the top of the list above.

When you join and refer people, your list will look like this.

1 YOU
2 Claud Chicago
3 Denise London
4 Mick Normandy, France
5 Sue Florida
You can see that everyone has moved down 1 place, Darren has disappeared off the list and you are now on top.

You will now receive at least $5 direct into your account from every referrer that you refer.

But that's not all,

Suppose that you refer a friend called Bill, and he refers a work colleague called Sue, who refers Dave who refers Bob, you will see that you are at the bottom of the list and ready to receive the Mega Recurring Pro bonus.

1 Bill
2 YOU
3 Claud
4 Denise
5 Mick

1 Sue
2 Bill
3 YOU
4 Claud
5 Denise

1 Dave
2 Sue
3 Bill
4 YOU
5 Claud

1 Bob
2 Dave
3 Sue
4 Bill
5 YOU

----------------

Activating the Mega Recurring Pro bonus is easy, all you need to do is go Pro yourself.

Pro service allows you to list unlimited URL's on Cash Juice and get priority listing for your links.

PLUS

You now get $8 for every single Pro member on your level 5.

Now think about this for a moment.

If you refer 5 people, that's $5 x 5 = $25 direct into your account leaving you $13.50 in profit and lifetime member of Cash Juice.

Now assume for a second that each person you refer, refers 5 people that's 5 x 5 = 25 people where you appear on their level 2.

Now they refer 5 people, 25 x 5 = 125 people on level 3.

and 125 x 5 = 625 people on your level 4.

and finally 625 x 5 = 3,125 people on your level 5.

That's up to 3125 x $8 = $25,000 every single month.

Ok, I know what you are thinking, what if everyone refers 10 people, or everyone refers 3 people?

3
1 3
2 9
3 27
4 81
5 243 = $1,944

5
1 5
2 25
3 125
4 625
5 3125 = $25,000

10
1 10
2 100
3 1000
4 10000
5 100000 = $800,000

*Did you know there are 6,600,000,000 billion on our planet?

------------------

How will you get paid?

The payment process is automated using Clickbank. Clickbank will send your earnings every 2 weeks.

Will you earn every month?

Yes, as long as you remain Pro, you will receive the Level 5 recurring bonus every month.

Do you need to upgrade to Pro immediately?

No, you can join now and start referring, they will let you know when its time to upgrade.

So. what do you need to do next, can you start right away?

YES, it's simple, step 1, is to join and pay your $11.50 right now.

You can pay via credit card or PayPal, the choice is yours.

==> http://cashflow.cashjuice.com

So, for just $11.50 you can get access not only to a treasure trove of traffic,
but also access an opportunity to earn serious auto-pilot income!

VIRUS/SPYWARE ALERTS

2008-10-27T17:53:00.002+11:00

VIRUS UPDATE
============

This week we includes information about the VirusResponseLab2009 false antivirus, P2PShared.M worm, Lydra.AO Trojan, the Redvoz.A backdoor Trojan and the
Autorun.AHS worm..

The VirusResponseLab2009 adware is another example of how false antivirus solutions are being used by cyber-criminals for financial gain.

When run, this adware fakes a system scan, telling users that their computers are infected It also sporadically launches a pop-up warning, from the taskbar, falsely claiming that the computer is being attacked from the Internet, or that the user is vulnerable to password theft.

The real aim of this malicious code is to make users believe they are infected and consequently buy the antivirus solution offered in order to clean their computers of these (non-existent) threats.

P2PShared.M is a worm that spreads through P2P networks. It does this by copying itself to the folders of several P2P applications, under the guise of software programs, which are then downloaded by other users. The worm creates a copy of itself on the system and modifies the Windows Registry.

Lydra.AO records users' activity on the infected computer and sends it to the malware author. To do so, it remains active in the Windows memory and starts capturing keystrokes and mouse movements. It also collects email addresses found in files with certain extensions.

It stores the information gathered, together with the PC hardware and software data, and sends it to the malware author via email. To do so, it uses its own SMTP or MAPI engine.

Redvoz.A is a backdoor Trojan that connects to a remote server, which allows the creator to run arbitrary commands on the infected computer and take control of the system.

This new malicious code creates a system service for managing network policies displayed by default by system services and third-party applications. This service is run continuously and cannot be stopped, making it difficult to remove. As the service is in a loop, the threat is recreated if it is deleted.

Autorun.AHS is a worm designed to spread through the floppy disk drive. When run on the computer, it modifies specific Registry entries to make it seem as though the Task Manager, Windows Registry, Folder options and Explorer files have been enabled. What it really does though, is replace the Internet Explorer start page for a malicious page. It also modifies the Windows Registry to run on every system startup.

Make sure you have a good Anti-Virus product installed so these bugs can not
hurt your system.

Stay safe!

Bux.to Scam? A Veterans Review

2008-10-07T20:24:00.002+11:00

For those of you who have not heard of Bux.to, it is a Paid To Click (PTC) program, where you are paid $0.01 for each website you personally view and $0.01 for each website your referrals view.

Of course there is nothing wrong with PTC programs at all.

From business point of view, each click costs the website owner $0.02, $0.01 goes to the member viewing the ad and the other $0.01 goes to the member’s sponsor.

If the website owner charges $0.05 per click, which is a good bargain to most advertisers, he will make 60% profit. A good deal.

Before I continue, I probably need to tell you that I’m not a newbie in the PTC industry.

Web Traffic Juggernaut: A new site that's saying it guarantees more web visitors/online advertising with very little effort or cost involved. I have decided to put it to the test here...

My first impression was that the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look. Both easy to read and understand and joining is a snap.

Members Area is well laid out and I figured out what to do after a few minutes, being able to get up & running in less than 5. Inside, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it changes them into "Juggernaut" links. You can create ads for anything you like to promote using the Ad Generator, that's very easy to use. You can create as many of these links and ads as you want. They are well organized in a logical way with links displayed in the order you create them and also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for swift reference.

When you have created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can then start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the newly created link instead of the original source URL you had. Every time this new link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window. This displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that links back to Juggernaut. So if anyone clicks the image they see the site, and if they join they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying, just by using the site.

I did not yet have time to fully test the overall effect of a big downline (I just got the tool) but what I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated...my links are getting clicks, I do earn credits, and my ads do get displayed. The site even tracks my results so I know exactly how many clicks and how many ad displays I'm getting. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

Overall I must say I am very impressed with Web Traffic Juggernaut. Simple yet powerful, and delivering on its promises.

Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising and if you're reading this, that's most likely you :-)

See it & join now to claim your Free Gold Membership here.

NEW VIRUS/SPYWARE !

2008-09-14T10:11:00.011+10:00

Autorun.ADF reaches computers in an attachment called "MY COMPLETED DOWNLDFX.EXE". When run, a photo is displayed explaining how to obtain a visa to enter the U.S.(Photo here: http://flickr.com/photos/panda_security/2805758450/). However, on displaying the image, the worm runs on the system and tries to steal the passwords of folders with specific features.

Once the information is obtained, the malicious code connects to a server to send it to its creator. Autorun.ADF also copies itself to all the computer's drives.

The KeyLogger.E Trojan is designed to capture keystrokes and mouse movements when users access specific web pages, obtaining passwords and the confidential data entered on the pages. In addition, it creates a file on the system that stores the stolen information to send to its creator through a connection to an FTP server.

The aim of the Exchanger.AH Trojan however, is to download other malware samples to the system, e.g. the RogueAntimalware2008 adware.

This malicious code is distributed through spam mails with the subject: "Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan comment on Paris Hilton's Childish Behavior". The message body contains a photo of Paris Hilton and what looks like a link to a video. If users click the link, they will actually be downloading a copy of the Exchanger.AH Trojan onto their computers.

YTFakeCreator is a program that allows cyber-crooks to create spoof YouTube videos aimed at infecting users with malware. Potential victims receive an email promoting a video supposedly containing sensational content (erotic images of celebrities, death of famous people, etc.) and invite users to click a link to the video. This technique is known as social engineering.

If they take the bait, users will be directed to a spoof YouTube page (image at: http://flickr.com/photos/panda_security/2840011688/), and will see an error message explaining that the video cannot be loaded until a certain component is downloaded (a codec, an Adobe Flash update, etc.). They will be prompted to download it. However if they do this, they will actually be downloading some type of malware onto their computers.

YTFakeCreator makes it easy to create these spoof YouTube pages; customizing the error message text and the time it takes to appear. It also allows cyber-crooks to insert the link to the malware to be downloaded onto users' computers, and even to create a false YouTube profile to enhance the realism of the page. And all of this can be done with just a single program (image: http://flickr.com/photos/panda_security/2839993538/).

The malicious code distributed through these spoof pages can be chosen by the person creating the page: Viruses, worms, adware, Trojans...

Trj/PHilto.A is an executable file that displays a video with adult content. It has an icon with an image of Paris Hilton, which when clicked displays a screen prompting users to download and view the video.

If users choose the option to view the video, two new windows appear on the screen and the system connects to a web page to download the components needed (codecs) to view the video.

A randomly-named, 303104-byte executable is downloaded, detected as Adware/NaviPromo.

The W32/MSNBot.D.worm is a Messenger bot designed to steal data (usernames, passwords, addresses...) which could then be used fraudulently.

The file has an MSN Messenger icon in order to confuse users. When the file is run the process goes resident on the system, and the MSN Messenger process is continually injected in the system's services, with the obvious intention of waiting to capture data from the computer and then distribute it.

The file makes a copy of itself in C:\Windows and adds a registry entry in order to run on every system startup and to continue stealing data from the computer.

This malware is normally distributed via email to contacts it captures in Messenger.

Finally, it creates a .txt in C:\Windows to compile and save the stolen data.

Stay safe!

Death of Classified Advertising?

2008-08-31T10:38:00.005+10:00

You may think that online classified ads are dead or maybe that they are just a place where spammers hang out, not true.

You just need to know HOW to use the right classified websites.

Online Classified Advertising can be a very effective method of generating real, substantial traffic to your website, any website!

Probably the biggest classified site is craigslist.org (eBay owns 25% of it).

Owner Craig Newmark first started the site in San Francisco. It has since grown to include all American states, along with many countries such as Australia, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, the UK and many more.

Once at the site you can easily select the area you want to focus on.

Millions of people are using craigslist EVERY day and so this makes for a huge opportunity, and the best part... many posts are free!

There is a charge for job postings in some areas, but for most of the site posting is completely free.

If however you do find a classified ad in a particular location is not free, simply try another location, you should eventually find a free area.

You cannot do just the one classified ad on Craigslist and then post it in every location for all and sundry to see, it just does not work like that. And if you start posting the same thing over and over adgain to multiple areas of Craigslist your ad will be removed.

You need to be a little smart about this... make sure your ad has useful content with relevant information that’s posted in the relevant location/section.

Obviously, if you are selling laptop don’t post your ad in Beauty Services.

Duplicate content is most frowned upon and is highly likely to get your ads deleted, that’s not to say you can only post once, far from it.By all means post to multiple areas, just mix your content up a little to make it different.

You could probably get away with changing just the subject and reposting, but it’s much better to actually change the main content too... when a potential customer reads both classifieds they wont see them as being the same ad and possibly report you (both classified ads are then likely to be deleted).

Most of the classified ads remain online and available for up to 45 days, meaning you get great value. The search engines love Craigslist, you will find that your website is indexed VERY QUICKLY after you post.

Craigslist.org has some important rules regarding posting and you need to make sure you are aware of these, read the help section to familiarize yourself with these rules.

Unlike most other classified Ad websites, Craigslist has NO LIMIT on the amount of space you can use for your ad. Be creative, use rich, compelling text to get people wanting to click on your link to find out more.

There are literally thousands of other classified ad websites but only a handful should be seriously considered:

http://www.ablewise.com

http://www.usfreeads.com

HPTE Classifieds

Don’t ignore classified ads, they can, do and will dramatically increase traffic to your site... any site!

ViralURL blocked by spybot

2008-08-17T11:44:00.006+10:00

* Many people have trouble lately to see ViralUrl(.com) links in their browser.

Apparently, ViralUrl is blocked by SpyBot, a popular anti-spyware-scanner that allows people to automatically block "bad links".

While ViralUrl is just a normal advertising opportunity and not something that should be blocked , there is always a chance for advertising sites to get blocked by software that tries to protect people from spam and ads.

So, what does this mean for your advertising?

I would suggest not to use ViralUrl as your link tracker, because a lot of people just won't be able to see your site.

It may take a while before they get removed from the Spybot blocklist. And even after Spybot removes them, a lot of people might still have the link blocked from previous Spybot scans.

* ViralUrl is also blacklisted in RulesEmporium.com.

This means that a lot of people complained about emails with their link in it, as being spam.

This also means that you should not use ViralUrl links in your email advertising, because a lot of your emails will be blocked then.

It is recommended to use the RulesEmporium blacklist checking tool, every time you use a link in an email.

You could of course always use a reliable link tracker, knowing that it is not blocked or blacklisted :)

* Also worth mentioning ... I see a lot of people emailing through safelists etc.

That's good but as we learned from the ViralUrl case, remember to use a link tracker that's not blocked, to get the best results out of your mailing.

A lot of people also add their email address in their emails.

It is really recommended to check out the ProfitsDesk helpdesk, because just giving people your email address is not good business.

They might be trying to contact you, but there is a big chance that their emails get blocked by spam filters.

The ProfitsDesk helpdesk highly improves the chance of receiving business emails.

And people will also see your own ads when they contact you through your helpdesk.

You really should consider the idea of owning your own helpdesk, read more...

This is about traffic...

2008-08-15T08:55:00.006+10:00

One of the most popular and very effective ways of promoting your business is using free advertising that's available within traffic exchanges. You simply view someone else's web page and in return, someone else will view yours. It's possible to recruit many people into your businesses using this viewer exchange system. It really works.

An effective way to use free traffic exchanges is with the use of a rotator. Rotators allow multiple sites to be advertised, all within a single url.

That is: Say you have 5 sites you want to advertise in a traffic exchange. You put all 5 into a rotator and they will all be shown in rotation. The benefit is: if you belong to many exchanges and want to change the pages that you are advertising, you need only to change the url in your rotator account rather than having to login to all of your traffic exchanges.

Rotators that come recommend are TPMRotator and PageSwirl. Not only are they free, you can also opt for the affordable upgrade and make a little money with them as well.

On joining a traffic exchange you will be asked to submit your target url. This can be one of your rotators, or another website you want to advertise. Make sure the address is correct it doesn't have multiple popups, break out of the surfbar frame etc.

It really is quite simple. You just log into the exchange or open up your surf page, view the sites, from 10 to 30 seconds. When the timer is finished counting down, you click the image, numbers or next button and you have earned credit towards someone else viewing your website. This is why it's called an exchange. You view their site, they view yours.

Many people are moving away from promoting the same site as everyone else. This is a great idea. Remember that you only have between 10 - 30 seconds for your page to not only load, but to also attract curiousity, inspire them to click your link or optin to a lead capture list. So it needs to be short, simple and to the point. These pages are known as Splash Pages.

If you are not very skilled in splash page design, there is good news. For a very reasonable one-time membership fee you can create your own splash pages with little or no knowledge of html. This includes lead capture and additional income from anyone you bring into the business. There are several other professional advertising tools included with your membership. It's also a quality traffic exchange.

It's called ProTrafficShop be sure to add this to your resources.

There are simply far too many exchanges to have them all isted here. To access a list of FREE traffic exchanges go and get 1000s of FREE Hits. You can start receiving MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC to your website right now!

To surf multiple traffic exchanges at once, download FireFox. It's FREE and you can surf several traffic exchanges at once!

NOT the 7 Figure Code!

2008-08-07T21:16:00.005+10:00

You've probably heard of the 7 Figure Code home study course.

Unfortunately, it sells for 4 figures so is way outside the budget of most new marketers!

Instead, I would like to recommend the Secret Affiliate Code, a recently released ebook by Craig Beckta, that is currently taking
the internet marketing world by storm:

Secret Affiliate Code

Craig has made all his money using free traffic methods and without even having an email mailing list!

He's just a normal guy, not some self-proclaimed guru.

Craig practices what he preaches and shows YOU exactly what to do to replicate his success.

You're probably expecting this sort of information to cost a small
fortune? You couldn't be more wrong:

Secret Affiliate Code

He's also offering some amazing bonuses.

Craig really knows how to over-deliver :-)

Even if you don't want to buy his awesome step-by-step plan it really is a good idea to sign up to his list and claim some of his very useful free bonuses.

Secret Affiliate Code

Banner advertising just got a whole lot easier!

2008-07-01T15:50:00.008+10:00

I've long been a fan of banner advertising, it works and really is a Must do thing.

Many people don't bother with it because they can be real pain to manage.

Takes time setting up banners one by one at all the places you advertise them.

Then, when you want to add/use a new banner, you must do it all over again.

Well, not anymore... the banner advertising business just got a whole lot easier!

New Banner Keyring allows you to rotate multiple banner ads using just one URL.

And when you do need to add/manage/change your banners, you can do it all at one place.

It's just like a URL rotator such as PageSwirl, but it's especially for rotating banners.

I love this great idea, it's long overdue, kind of like sliced bread... what took them so long anyway :-)

Banner Keyring is free to join and will quickly become a popular resource for all marketers.

Firefox 3 is Here!

2008-06-20T23:17:00.005+10:00

If you're an avid Firefox user, I'm sure you already know all about this, but just in case you've been living under a rock for the past few days, I'm here to fill you in!

Ever since Firefox 2 was released, there has been talk about a third version. And well, that day has come! Firefox 3 was released on June 18, 2008 and it is now available for download. It's been three years in the making and it's finally here.

Read on for all the details!

This version of Firefox included three Release Candidates (RC) that were able to fix any issues that came about during the testing process. In fact, the third RC was released just last week (on June 11, 2008) and it took care of the last found issue. Mozilla said the final release of Firefox 3 is identical to the RC3. With the official release of Firefox 3, Mozilla is hoping to set a Guinness World Record for the most downloads of one application in one day. I'd say they've got a good chance, wouldn't you?!

With the new version of the popular Firefox Web browser, you can expect performance enhancements, more privacy and it's even easier to use. It also comes with a more simple navigation system so that you can surf the Web with confidence.

It also, of course, has stronger security to protect you from viruses, spyware, pop ups and any other type of malware you can think of. It truly has all the bases covered! If you haven't done so already and you would like to download Firefox 3, you can do so right here.

Just click on the Download Latest Version link in the top right hand corner and follow the directions.

That's it.

Get in on the fun today!

NEW FIREFOX 3

2008-06-16T12:50:00.003+10:00

Firefox 3 To Be Released On June 17th.

As you know it's dangerous to surf traffic exchanges with any browser other then Safari or Firefox. Your just asking for trouble if you use Internet Explorer, Avant, Maxathon, Crazy Browser or AOL.

Mozilla has been announcing Release Candidates for Firefox 3 consistently for the past month. In fact, Firefox 3 RC 3 was just released earlier today. One could guess that the time for an official release was right around the corner, but we wouldn't have guessed it'd be this soon. Only hours after RC3, and after 34 months of development, the company has announced that Firefox 3 will be officially released next Tuesday, June 17th.

If you have used any of the other Firefox versions let me tell you the big difference with this release is Speed, Stability and performance has been consistently better than Firefox 2. There are so many new and improved features in this new version. On Tuesday, June 17th head on over to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and get the new version.

I want to tell you about the helpdesk program I'm a member of, it's an awesome service that I was fortunate enough to become involved with.

Because it's a membership site, it allows users to have their helpdesk hosted on our own secure servers, optimised for email delivery.

No website needed, no expertise needed, you simply use your helpdesk link as your contact information in your everyday communications. ie: forums, sigs, emails, ads etc... anywhere you would usually put your contact info.

When people contact your helpdesk, the message is sent through our secure server to whatever email address you have set up in your account... say goodbye to spam!

You are also able to rotate your own ads on your helpdesk via the bonus Pro Tracker account you will receive with your helpdesk membership.

I've been using it for some time now and simply could not be without it.

Because I want to show you how effective your own helpdesk can be, I will offer all readers the opportunity to try our helpdesk service for only... $10!

Here's a look at what you get for your $10!

- A 1-year upgrade in ProfitsDesk:

You get a ProfitsDesk helpdesk, just like the one I use here, that allows you to rotate your own ads. This will do wonders for your advertising as well as for your communication with your prospects, customers and referrals etc.

- A lifetime upgrade in TrackerBoard:

TrackerBoard is a high-quality professional link-tracking service with a lot of features that you won't find in other (well known) link-trackers.

Allows you to set up 100 links. These links are then rotated on your helpdesk and displayed to anyone who visits your helpdesk. Your links are also randomly shown on many high-traffic webpages... this delivers a lot of bonus advertising.

Both sites also allow you to email your referrals, so you will also be building a mailinglist by referring new members. You can advertise your own offers to these lists, which is another great improvement for your advertising.

Not to mention that because the server is optimized for superior email delivery, your referrals will be highly likely to receive your mails... unlike many other membership sites :-)

Most other websites would at least charge $300 for this, probably more.

I encourage you to at least check out these 2 seriously useful marketing tools while they are still at this seriously low price!

You can join for free and have a look around if you want to.

You get a helpdesk, just like my own (see my sig. below), that allows you to rotate your own ads. This will do wonders for your advertising, as well as for your communication with your prospects.

This allows you to set up 100 links. Your links are randomly shown on many high-traffic webpages, so this can bring you a lot of hands-free advertising. On top of this, it is also a high-quality link-tracking service, with a lot of features that you won't find in other link-trackers.

Note: both sites also allow you to email your referrals, so you will also be building a mailinglist by referring new members.

CashBlasterPro (.com) review

2008-05-02T14:29:00.004+10:00

The latest rave on the internet is about CashBlasterPro(.com) that claims to:

* upgrade the complete internet to Web2.0 standards
* give away 1 million dollar to free members
* offer a contract that guarantees you to get paid

My opinion:
I have seen this type of offers so many times that it doesn't impress me anymore, since most of them seem to be at least over-hyped, or often just plain scams. Here are some reasons to doubt their claims:

- Since they say they will have millions of members(and people are indeed joining like crazy), how big do you think your "share" of the 1 million dollar will be ?

- They don't even seem to have that money yet, since they plan to sell the company later. Something you can't count on that somebody will pay them that money. It is always popular to talk about the big money that companies like Microsoft or Yahoo spend.

- It's so top-secret, you just have to join without them telling you anything about what you are joining (besides the hype).

- The "contract" no doubt convinces a lot of people to join. But that type of online contracts doesn't mean anything. I have seen that before.

- "Revolutionize the complete internet". How many times I have seen that. Even if they have something useful to offer, it won't live up to their hype and it won't be free.

- Web2.0 is a popular word these days. Many people mistakenly associate it with "social networking", which is a very narrow-minded view of what Web2.0 is. Many so-called Web2.0 technologies have considerable security and privacy issues. But it always gets people excited when they use a word that almost nobody really understands.

To me, and that's just my opinion, this looks like another site that will gather a massive list of email addresses, before they start to explain that there are some problems, and finally disappear with a big mailing list to sell to spammers.

For all you that are joining, I hope I am wrong, but this opportunity is not for me.

VIRUS - MALWARE NEWS & UPDATES

2008-04-14T15:56:00.003+10:00

Ok, 5 critical and 3 important updates have been released from Microsoft. (from MS08-018 to MS08-025). It's time to start updating your system if you haven't done it yet.

Critical updates affect these components: Microsoft Project, GDI, VBScript and JScript scripting engines, updated ActiveX Kill Bits and Internet Explorer.

On the other hand, DNS Client, Windows Kernel and MIcrosoft Visio are patched with important updates.

Most of them allow remote code execution, so don't forget to update your system asap.

Among the thousands of malicious codes that have appeared this week, I am going to focuses on the Bankolimb.AF Trojan and the Autorun.RS worm.

When it is run, Autorun.RS releases two files on the computer designed to steal passwords for online games. The use of worms that can steal passwords, a feature more often associated with Trojans, is a growing trend.

The reason is that worms, unlike Trojans, can spread by themselves, which represents a real advantage for cyber-crooks. Theft of passwords for online games is motivated by the potential financial returns that this can generate.

In these games, there are levels and items that can only be achieved through skill and experience.

However, many users are willing to pay for them on forums, web pages, etc. Cyber-crooks readily profit from this situation. The Bankolimb.AF Trojan drops several libraries on the computer, one of which is registered as a BHO (Browser Helper Object).

This allows it to monitor the Internet activity of the user, monitoring when they access online bank pages, and adding fields to forms that users see on these pages, in order to collect additional information.

The Trojan captures keystrokes to steal passwords entered into these pages. It then sends the information to its creator, uploading a file with the data to a server.

Stay safe!

VIRUS - MALWARE NEWS & UPDATES

2008-04-02T23:15:00.002+11:00

Among the thousands of malicious codes that have appeared this week we focus on the Bankolimb.AF Trojan and the Autorun.RS worm.

The Trojan captures keystrokes to steal passwords entered into these pages. It then sends the information to its creator, uploading a file with the data to a server.

Regarding malware, Trojans continue being the most relevant category of malware, at 62.16%.

The well-known Storm Worm attack, which infected thousands of computers worldwide, is still active. Thatâ€™s why it is worth mentioning.

Nowadays, the use of Web 2.0 services is very widespread, being the social networks one of the most extended services. The wider and more active a social network is, the higher the possibilities are of malware spreading on the network and reaching a high infection rate.

As usual, every second Tuesday Microsoft published security updates for its products. On 11th March, Microsoft published four updates (from MS08-014 to MS08-017), all of them rated as critical and affecting Microsoft Office suite.

We recommend you to update your systems as soon as possible, as all these flaws could allow remote code execution to be run.

Stay safe!

new online income opportunity

2008-03-02T17:34:00.005+11:00

Hello everyone,

This one looks very very promising.

Video-Class

It costs a 1-time fee of $5. That's all.

For this $5, you get a solo ad, 1000 banner impressions, 25 Traffic Link Clicks, and 25000 credits at freetrafficbar.com.

But that is only the beginning.

You get entered into a MegaWealth 3 x 2 matrix.

When your matrix fills up, you get $25 cash, a paid lifetime membership into Fortune5Minutes, and
a reentry into the MegaWealth 3 x 2 matrix.
As your original MegaWealth downline fills their matrixes, they automatically follow you into your Fortune5Minutes matrix.

The Fortune5Minutes has 4 phases.

As you fill your matrixes in each phase (remember that all of your MegaWealth downline follows you), you get good money and move onto another phase.

The phases are Fortune5Minutes, $20 Miracle, Wealth Team International Association (WTIA), and Global Liquid Asset Development (GLAD).

Basically, you keep getting paid as you fill these matrixes and are automatically enrolled in these other matrixes.

This is amazing, and it costs $5.

Video-Class

I like this program for many reasons, and here are a few:

$5 one time, that's all
Free ISO register marketing system
Multiple streams of income (see above)
Pay It Forward option to fill your matrixes
Join under me and my spillover will help fill your matrix
Christian focus with Biblical followings
Weekly Online Conference Center Training
Brand New Program = lots of people yet to join
Uses Alertpay/E-Gold rather than Paypal
Very responsive admin

$5. It is amazing what $5 will get you.

Video-Class

The quicker you join, the higher you will be in the matrix and the more spillover you will receive.

Spillover means referrals that you will receive from continued member advertising efforts after refer matrix is filled.

Joining early is a wise choice.

Video-Class

Let's make some money together!

Sincerely,

Greg.
