Risk Management in Online Marketing

Monday, September 21st, 2009

I’m going to be the guest on a webinar with Mark Roth, owner of www.OfferVault.com Tuesday evening, September 22.  It’s free to attend, and I’ll be talking about something I feel is exceedingly important in online marketing but doesn’t get talked about a whole lot - risk management.  It’s not sexy, but it can be the difference between life or death for your online business.

I’ll be happy to take all the questions I can, so I hope to “see” you there!

Smackdown Pluging for Wordpress

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Just found out about this, some of you WordPress users (who isn’t??  LOL) might benefit from it.  From the order page:

The Adwords SmackDown WordPress plug-in v1.b1 integrates the Adwords SmackDown into any WordPress Blog site through our latest custom plug-in module. This new product offers 5 different options for cloaking, the ability to make Ad-Sets on the fly with unlimited offer inserts for split testing & weighting for each new offer added to each Ad-Set.

Content generation based on keywords and the ability to choose where that content is shown based on the relevant category in which you choose. This option also has weighting, so you can choose to have “X” amount of content pulled from 5 article resources, Amazon, Yahoo Answers & YouTube with Wikipedia and others that will be available in upcoming releases.

- Bot, IP, UA (user agent), referrer & language Identification with several options to choose in which you would like to set them. (VERY STRONG Addition).

- Cookie stuffing / Link popping to ensure that you get your commissions (and other features discussed only in the members area).

- Referrer masking to ensure that your generation methods stays your business and not your affiliate managers ;-)

That’s all I know so far, I don’t even know if there’s actually a sales page for it or anything but this is the order link where the above was taken from:

Smackdown (at least the LPGen version) is a clever javascript cloaking method, and this sounds like a pretty souped up version… check it out if you have need for WP cloaking!

PayPerView Formula Review (PPVFormula Review)

Monday, September 7th, 2009

HOLY RUSTED METAL BATMAN!!

OK but seriously, I had no idea this had happened… Gauher slipped it right under my nose.  And I like to think I’m one of his insiders!  *sniff*  Apparently I’m not as “inside” as I thought!

PayPerView Formula 2.0 has quietly sneaked its way into existence!

That’s right, if you own PPVFormula 1 you can go log into the owner’s area and lo & behold you will see a whole new 2.0 course, laid out just like PPCF2 is.

Here’s what’s listed at the top of the modules:

Latest Updates:

09/07/09 - Uploaded 15 new videos (various modules)
09/03/09 - Uploaded five Strategy videos (Module 2)
09/01/09 - Uploaded three Media Traffic videos (Module 6)
08/31/09 - Uploaded two AdOnNetwork videos (Module 5)
08/29/09 - Uploaded two TrafficVance videos (Module 4)

So it’s been out more than a week and I didn’t even know about it!  That’s just not right!  LOL

OK so what does this mean to the rest of the world?  Well, if you don’t already own PPCFormula, it means pretty much nothing since you can’t own PPVFormula any other way (yet… ;)

BUT if you *DO* own PPCFormula already and don’t already have PPVFormula, then you WILL in fact be able to buy PPVFormula VERY SOON (i.e. tomorrow according to Gauher) if you go to the owner’s area of PPCFormula.

In case you’ve been living under an Internet Marketing Rock for a while, PPV Traffic is a largely unknown traffic source, that in the right hands is WICKEDLY powerful for all kinds of things.  It’s the sole type of traffic I used to absolutely DOMINATE the Top Affiliate Challenge reality show last year.  It’s almost the only form of paid traffic I’ve used at all for the past 18 months or so (I’ve done a splash of PPC, textlinks, and banners as well).

There are many “knock off” (to be polite) products about PPV that have popped up since Gauher literally coined the term that everyone now uses, and I’ve read many of them.  They are TERRIBLE and highly dangerous and give some absolutely horrific advice and strategies.  In my honest opinion, Gauher’s PPVFormula course is the ONLY complete and thorough course on the subject.  And the members-only forum?  Fugedaboudit!!  There is no equal to it anywhere, period.

So stay tuned as PPCF owners will be hearing from Gauher tomorrow about how they can buy it if they don’t already own it.  Existing owners can check out the new stuff NOW in their accounts.

The rest of the world?  Well don’t despair… I’ll have some exciting news for you in the near future.  ;)

Exclusive Interview with Mr. Sniper

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Wow, the last hour has really turned my world a little bit upside down.

I just got finished talking to Mr. Sniper (get the recording), the man behind most of the content in the new Aggressive Affiliates course (http://aggressiveaffiliates.com).  He’s doing some things that I actually didn’t think would even work well, and to devastatingly profitable effect!

I recorded the whole thing for your listening pleasure, it’s short but could have a tremendous impact on your bottom line especially if you do PPC marketing.  Check it out!

This is really making me rethink a few things.  I’m going to have to study his material a whole lot more closely than I realized.
