Ethical Internet Marketer – Make More Money Online… Ethically!

I’ve found a service which allows you to drag a little piece of Javascript code into your browser’s bookmarks and this will allow you to bookmark any URL you visit. You simply select the Javascript bookmark from your dropdown list in your favorite’s folder and you’ll be presented with a new page from where you can add this page to any of the most popular social bookmarking services.

It’s a free automatic social bookmarking submission service and called “The Socializer”.

I bet you have received dozens of emails about today’s launch of the Rich Jerk’s latest product called X-Ray Affiliate Domination. Basically, it’s a software which allows you to track what keywords from the PPCs are bringing in the cash for you. Before you spend your hard earned money on it, please read my review below.

The Rich Jerk’s X-Ray Affiliate Domination script will be installed on your server and also allows you to import your sales statistics from Clickbank or Commission Junction into the software. Because these networks allow you to add tracking IDs to their URLs, you will be able to determine which keywords are the best performing ones and delete the non performing keywords from your PPC campaigns. These details will be shown in your stats within the admin area of this script.

This in itself is not a bad thing to have. At a reasonable price I’d probably recommend it. But I have to warn you: It will be about $1000. And that’s why affiliates are stacking up the bonuses again (hey, I’m doing that too if I feel a product is worth recommending it) but this time almost 99% of them are wrong in doing so because of the following reasons:

1.) A script like that could easily be done by a programmer from Scriptlance or Elance and you would probably have to pay 50% or less for it but you would be able to sell it yourself after you got your copy.

2.) There’s a script out there that does 90% of what the Rich Jerk’s script does (apart from importing sales stats). Even though people said it’s a clone, I doubt it is because the development started in Dec. already when no one knew the Rich Jerk would be releasing a similar script in March 07. This other script was available at roughly 1/20 of the Rich Jerk’s selling price. It’s called “Conversion tracker” and was recently sold as a WSO in the Warrior’s Forum.

3.) Even though you get the script to do your tests and see what keywords are performing well for you, you still have to spend a lot of your money on these campaigns to see a.) which keywords are working b.) which products are selling (especially if you’re selling Clickbank products only).

4.) Next week, there’ll be a tool out that is much better than X-Ray Domination. It’s called Undercover Profits and shows you exactly which keywords and which products are profitable on Google Adwords. The difference is that it doesn’t track your own keywords and campaigns but it’s monitoring other people’s campaigns and tells you what products they are advertising as well as which keywords they are bidding on. This takes PPC marketing to a whole new level.

My recommendation: Keep your money in your pockets. Do NOT BUY the Rich Jerk’s software.

Wait for Undercover Profits ( I still don’t know what the price of that one will be) because with that one, you’ll also get to see the keywords and products of the most profitable campaigns on Google Adwords which other people are running.

These are the ones which are run by affiliates and you can see how many days of the month they were online. In other words, the whole testing and tracking has been done, once you are ready to set up your campaigns. You’ll save thousands in wasted PPC clicks as you know for sure that these campaigns will be profitable.

Just to make it clear: I don’t have anything against the Rich Jerk… I even own his ebook. But I don’t like that he’s selling this software at such a price so the people who could need it would not be able to afford it anyway. And then considering the fact that you’d still need to run your own unprofitable campaigns, first, in order to find the gems, I simply think it’s not worth it.

WHO THE HE..K IS KELVIN HUI?
——————————————

Have you heard of Kelvin Hui before?

Probably you haven’t, because he is a very low profile underground Web Publisher. I just happened to know him as he has created a successful website called FriendEarth, which has attracted a multi-year partnership contract with Yahoo! Inc. and also because he’s a close friend and partner of Patric Chan whom I’ve known for years now.

How successful is FriendEarth?

It has become a *Top Global 500* websites in the world within 2 months, in terms of traffic volume. He CONSTANTLY generates MILLIONS of visitors to his website every MONTH. This huge success has attracted Yahoo! Inc.’s attention and they have signed a multi-year partnership contract in 2006.

DREAM, SCAM OR REALITY?

Is it a scam? See the proof here:

Maybe you wonder, “Well, maybe this is just by luck… What about his other websites? Are they doing well?”
I absolutely understand, as I doubted that as well.

I asked Kelvin if he could give me more proof. He kept silent for a while, then said, “Alright, I will show you something, you will judge how well my websites are doing.”

I was so shocked that I could not say even a word. You know what he showed me?

*** His HIGH 6 FIGURE AdSense Earnings EVERY MONTH !!! ***

Get the proof here:

———————————————————

HE’S RELEASING SECRETS HE ONLY SHARED WITH SEMINAR PARTICIPANTS BEFORE – SEMINARS WHICH COST THOUSANDS!!

———————————————————

He never disclosed his top notch secrets to the public, except for his seminar students, who paid THOUSANDS of dollars to learn the secrets. I strongly urged him to do something to save newbies money, as the market nowadays is filled with crappy courses. Most cost hundreds of dollars but provide NOTHING meaningful.

Fortunately, he decided to break his silence and disclose his killer secrets which he shared only in his super expensive seminars… And NOW at an insanely cheap price in comparison to that.

That sounds silly doesn’t it? Why would I have to learn how to enter a forum? I just sign up and post right?

It would seem on the surface to be that easy, but I see a lot of people have a real hard time…

Over time forums create a very tight community. Everyone learns the rules and looks out for each other…

That’s the first thing… Read the rules. Different forums approach how you display links differently or even what you can talk about…

The other thing is don’t come in gang busters!! Don’t try to prove yourself and get to excited about showing everyone your knowledge etc….

Get to know the community first. Hang out for a while. Introduce yourself politely… Usually there is a separate area set aside for intros… And then start browsing.

Get to know the other posters… Remember a lot of these people have known each other for a while. They may even be doing business behind the scenes…

Once you have a feel for it, start helping out.

Helping out… If you have any knowledge to contribute, provide it… Help people with things you know about.

Learn… Read… Learn… Read some more… Ask questions…

Then let it rip if you want to.

The bottom line is very few people can go crazy right off the bat… There is an exception here or there, but usually the community wants to see you contribute for a while before you get bold. They need to get to know you.

Definitely don’t provide a sales pitch in your first post… You will getting flaming posts and anger the community. Everyone will see it as spam.

It’s just like building any relationship. Easy at first until you get to know each other.

Forums are powerful things. Don’t abuse that power. And don’t ruin your reputation…

4.) BLOG COMMENTS

Even though blog comments have received quite a lot of negative publicity in the recent past because of all the discussions about blog spamming and automated blog comment posters, it is still a viable way of getting one way backlinks quickly. But only if done correctly and if you adhere to certain posting rules. Then you will be able to use it as a way to attract exactly the kind of targeted visitors who are eager to buy your products.

How can you find those blogs?

Well, you can go to Google and type in “keyword blog” where keyword gets replaced by the keyword for your market e.g. “dog training blog”. If you take this one step further, you could add something like “Powered by WordPress” to this query and Google would find any WordPress blog which has been making posts about dog training.

You could do the same query in Technorati.com, a service which most bloggers are pinging to notify them of new content. Meaning, you can find posts related to almost any keyword there. Doing this for many websites and then also checking if these blogs have enough traffic and/or pagerank can be quite time consuming.

If you value your time as much as me then you need to automate this. Personally, I am using a tool called CommentHut to find these blogs and show me the pagerank of each result. There simply is no quicker way. You still have to make comments related to the blog post, though. CommentHut won’t do that for you. But its’ goal is not to spam blogs but to find the best blogs to post to. Not only on WordPress but also for 4 other blogging platforms like Typepad and even on WordPress.com itself. This means, you can get free backlinks from an authority site like WordPress.com because it also hosts personal blogs…

Not only can you get better search engine placement because of relevant blog comments but you also might get a lot of direct visitors if it’s a busy blog. Ask a provocant question there or doubt something the blogger is pointing out and you can see that it can cause quite a stir which also means more direct visitors for you! And your blog links are in the middle of highly relevant, keyword rich content. It cannot get any better.

5.) ARTICLE SUBMISSIONS

Article marketing has been a secret weapon in the arsenal of many super affiliate marketers. Not only for improving their search engine positions but also for direct traffic from their article resource boxes (the small signature file at the end of each article). Imagine getting one of your articles picked up by a newsletter which has a readership in the hundreds of thousands… That could be a marketing breakthrough overnight.

Then why are not more people using it? Every week I see article after article talking about the effectiveness of getting your articles published on other websites and in other people’s ezines. Are people too shy? Do they think they can’t write? Are they afraid they are making too many mistakes?

If you don’t do anything, you are not making mistakes – that’s true… But you’re also not making any progress. Most top marketers have become so successful because they were not afraid to make mistakes along the way. That is what Internet marketing is about: Learning from your experiences and improving upon them. If you’ll keep doing the same things, you keep getting the same (bad) results. I’m sure you’ve heard this saying more than once and it’s so true!

Take action and you’ll see results.

Writing your own articles can be so easy. Just do a little bit of research in those all important article directories themselves. Do a search for your keyword and see what others have written about the subject. Combine several of other people’s ideas and thoughts and write your own masterpieces in your own words. NEVER EVER COPY SOMEONE ELSE’S WORK!! This could get you in serious trouble. But rewriting ideas and thoughts is always allowed.

Whatever the reason is for not getting engaged in article writing, there is an answer to all of these objections.

Either outsource your article writing or use a piece of software called “Instant Article Wizard” which will let you write articles through a click and point process rather than having to come up with your own words. You’ll still need to polish up the sentences and the structure the software produces but about 80-90% of the work is already done by this article writer software.

Outsourcing means that you go to a website like Elance.com or Scriptlance.com ( my favourite) to get these articles written for you – for a small fee (usually something between $5-10 a piece).

With these articles you get to own something unique that you can use

a.) as content on your site

b.) as article for your ezine

c.) as vehicle to get your search engine positions up

d.) to get your name spread and build a reputation for yourself

All you have to do after you’ve created these articles is to submit them to article directories. It can be done manually if you visit a page where all of these article directories are listed e.g. here:

www.arcanaweb.com/resources/article-directories.html

But it can take you days if not weeks to get this done one by one.

Or you can use an article submitter. Personally, I like Jeff Alderson’s Instant Article Submitter because with his software, you can also choose the categories your article gets submitted to. This ensures that your article is assigned the correct category rather than submitting a generic format where 50% of the times, you’ll get declined by the article directory owner because of not having selected the correct category…

Article marketing is still one of the best and most cost effective ways to get your products sold, get recognized in your market and get better search engine positions – all from the power of articles. With article marketing or “bum marketing” as it has been called in recent times, you can even make sales if you have no website, no list and no JV partners.

With which other method can you achieve this so easily…?

CONCLUSION:

Generally speaking, the search engines seem to favor non-reciprocal links so try to focus on those and don’t overdo reciprocal linking. These two way links should not make up more than 25-30% of your total links in order to stay on the safe side.

Set up a schedule to check your ranking in the major search engines frequently to see if your link popularity has improved. Of course, this is not achievable in the blink of an eye. It will take some time and a good deal of work. There is no way around the labor-intensive quality of improving your link popularity, which is why search engines regard it with such importance.

By the way – make sure you have a great looking, content rich website or you will never persuade anyone to link back to you – not even free directory owners. Try to avoid having your website cluttered with Adsense and ads all over the pages before asking for a link. Once you have got enough links (when you have achieved your desired search engine positions for your main keywords or your pagerank), you can add your ads back and enjoy the profits from your hard work…
