X-Factor Traffic

Everyone needs traffic. Well, everyone except maybe the commutor living in London at rush hour. But on the internet, we all need traffic. And that’s great for internet marketers because everyone is prepared to pay good money to discover the secrets of unlimited website traffic.

I have heard that John Reese is working on Traffic Secrets 2, the followup to the wildly successful Traffic Secrets package that sold over $1,000,000 in just one day. Until the new package is released, we need to look elsewhere for our hunger for internet traffic.

The latest product that is in pre-launch is called X-Factor Traffic by Dearl Miller of Trafficology. It claims to have found the 10 most successful FREE traffic sources on the internet. A mighty bold claim some might say.

As part of the pre-sales period to hype up the product they are offering a sneak peak at traffic generation source #6. You get 2 PDF’s that tells you about the traffic source and how to implement it and you get 3 audio interviews with John Reese, Yanik Silver and Kevin Wilke as MP3’s.

To be honest with you, the ’secret’ traffic source isn’t that secret. You probably know it. Infact, right here and right now I’m going to have a stab in the dark at the 10 free traffic sources they are talking about…

      Article Marketing
      Web 2.0 sites like MySpace, Digg, Facebook, Delicious, YouTube and Squidoo
      Having an affiliate program
      Posting in forums with your website link in your signature
      Email Marketing (start an email list)
      Submitting products to giveaway events
      Joint Ventures (it’s free and can create lots of traffic)
      Blogging and using RSS feeds
      Posting comments on blogs with links back to your site
      Search engine optimization - optimize your site to get free traffic from search engines

That’s my list of the top 10 free traffic sources. I wonder how many of them are the same as X-Factor Traffic?

X-Factor Traffic is going to be launched on October 5th at 9am Central Time. You can get the #6 most effective secret free traffic by filling out the opt-in form on the website. The salespage is can be found here.

The Next Internet Millionaire

Not sure if you’ve seen this yet, but it’s a internet reality show which takes aspiring entrepreneurs and eliminates them each week until one is left to be crowned the next internet millionaire. Check it out at NextInternetMillionaire.com

The show is the brainchild of Joel Comm (he of AdSense fame). He’s pulling in quite a lot of favours to get some big name marketers on board to be the teachers.

Each week the contestants have to complete a series of challenges. If you’ve seen Apprentice, then you get the idea.

Joel acts as the host…a role I don’t think he’s really suited to because he looks way too geeky and dorkish - sorry Joel! Just a personal opinion :)

I think it’s great that Joel is making a show like this and goes to prove that anything is possible using the internet.

Incidently, the name of the show is slightly misleading. The winning contestant wins $25,000, not $1m. The other $975,000 is made up from joint ventures which will happen after the show has finished. Still, you wouldn’t say no, would you!

Episode 6 is now out and can be viewed here.

Internet Marketing Roundup

There have been a few product launches in the past couple of days. Some you would have known about, others probably flew so low they passed under your radar. Here’s a quick look at some of the products launched this week.

PPC Classroom
Yep, the PPC Affiliate Classroom finally launched, with a hefty price tag of $497 (see my previous post where I predicted the price of it). Apparently some people didn’t want you to have this product because at the time of the launch the site came under a DDoS attack which took the server down for a few hours. Read the sales letter here.

New ‘Dime’ Sale From George Pluss
George Pluss has released another ‘dime’ sale where he sells products for a dime. But the catch is the price goes up every second so you have to act quick. This dime sale is pushing a product that claims to be ‘ethically blackhat’ (however that works - probably just creative marketing) and is a magnet for search engines.

It’s aimed at people wanting to grow rich from virtual real estate (or in other words, adsense sites). I saw something similar before from George but wasn’t entirely impressed.

You can check it out for yourself here. The squeeze page is of course designed to get you on to his list :)

Guru Millions
Guru Millions from Jeff Paul and Jim Fleck, the self confessed ‘inventors of the niche marketing model’ is a free teleseminar to teach people how to make money from niche marketing. This product promotion landed in my inbox from Gary Ambrose. The teleseminar appears to be free and they are only allowing 500 people on the line.

I can’t tell you if there is a a one time offer or an upsell for the ‘deluxe’ package, but since Gary is promoting it with an affiliate link, one would assume that there is some sort of paid option along the line.

If you are interested in Niche Marketing then it’s probably a good idea to get in on the teleseminar because if these guys are half as good as they claim, it could potentially be worth it’s weight in gold.

Find out more about Guru Millions here.

That’s about all I have for my news and round up. I do want to mention a new project that I’m starting called the List Building Project. I have created a blog for it here, but it will be password protected and open to members only very soon.

PPC Affiliate Classroom

And following hot on the tail of Andrew Fox’s CB Affiliate Formula comes Anik Singal’s PPC Affiliate Classroom. A super sized physical package that will…well, promise unlimited wealth - what else?

This package is a physical product, so it is shipped to your door. I don’t have the price for this right now, but it’s only another 14 hours (from the time of writing this blog entry) till it launches. I’m guessing it’s going to be around $497 to $997. Any less, and it will probably be a right bargain.

Included are 135 campaigns that have been used to generate over $1.4m in affiliate revenue. You get to see the exact programs, keywords, budgets and costing for these programs. Pretty awesome that. Nothing like being taken by the hand and shown what to do.

Not only do you get the campaigns, but you get the actually landing/review pages where the clicks are converted into sales. You can see what techniques they used to take that click, warm it up and send it to the sales page and turn it into a sale for affiliate commission.

You also get some cool software that lets you setup campaigns with lightening speed and track every aspect of the campaign to see how well it’s converting. Tracking your conversions is probably the single biggest thing you can do with PPC campaigns so it’s essential that you have the right tools for the job.

There’s loads more to Anik Singal’s PPC Affiliate Classroom, but the above is the real meat and potatos.

You can get on the waiting list or if you are reading this after the 25th September, check out the salespage here:

CB Affiliate Formula is Released

This is Andrew Fox’s (aka “foxy”) latest offering to the internet marketing world. Before he bought us Dominating AdSense and Dominating Clickbank, both of which were OK - nothing special, nothing mind blowing. Will CB Affiliate Formula be any better?

For starters it is advertised as a coaching club rather than an actual product. On the salespage there are some pretty impressive screenshots of account balances not to mention some enviable photos of Andrews cars and luxury home.

I’m still undecided whether putting photo’s of your ‘wealth’ on your salespage is a good thing. Although it’s undeniable proof that your systems work, it does kind of rub it in the face of the thousands of hard working marketers who haven’t ‘made it’ yet. Does it serve to inspire or does it have the opposite effect and cause jealousy?

To cut the long salespage short, the coaching club costs $77 per month and there are just 1,000 spaces available. For that $77 you get the following:

  • Two people will be selected each month to do a joint venture with Andrew. This could be worth up to $10,000 for the chosen people. The video tutorials and PDF’s of the results of the JV’s will be released each month
  • Quick start affiliate crash course video introduction
  • Training on how Andrew created massive affiliate pay days presented via videos and PDF
  • Insider information with stats and breakdowns on how Andrews campaigns are fairing
  • Forum for members
  • MP3 recordings of other member who are having success with CB Affiliate Formula

There’s quite a range of information there. The monthly results of the JV’s and the insider information on Andrew’s campaign stats would be well worth the money. If you get chosen to do a JV, well the income and experience would be awesome!

However…I have to say right now that I’m not going to be signing up to CB Affiliate Formula. The reason is that I have too much going on and signing up to this site would be another expense for me and distract me even more from my other projects. I don’t have the time or motivation to make my membership worthwhile (unless I was lucky enough to get picked for a JV in the first month of course!)

The CB Affiliate Formula costs $77 per month and is open to $1000 members only.

Get 80 Fresh PLR Articles Each Month…FREE!

Wow, check this out that I’ve found from Daniel Turner & Marc Lindsay, owners of PLRPro.com. Each month they are giving Free members 80 freshly written PLR articles. You don’t have to pay a dime or make any commitment.

Check it out here: http://www.plrpro.com

What I discovered is that they are actually way over delivering on what they are promising. They say that they’ll give you 80 fresh articles, but what they don’t mention is that the articles are translated into EIGHT different languages!

  • Spanish
  • Dutch
  • French
  • Swedish
  • German
  • Italian
  • Russian
  • Portuguese

But there’s even more. They even provide custom graphic headers to accompany the free articles that they give away.

Seriously, they could be charging $30 or more for this each month, but it’s absolutely free right now.

Here’s that URL again: http://www.plrpro.com

Hope you find it useful!

John Reese The Traffic Expert Releases New Product

John Reese, the world renown traffic expert and author of the million dollar Traffic Secrets package has released his latest offering as a beta website.

This new website takes advantage of the Web 2.0 craze and looking at the design and style it just oozes Web 2.0.

The general concept is to get traffic to your blogs.

How does it achieve this? Well the technology and idea certainly isn’t new, it’s as old as the internet itself.

You basically put a piece of code on your blog (there’s a helpful video showing you how to do this) and that puts a box on your site with a number of links to related blogs. You earn credits for every site you show. These credits are used to show your blog link on other sites in the network.

You can earn more credits by referring other blog owners to the network.

As I said earlier, this concept is nothing new, traffic exchanges of this nature have been around for ages, and I’m sure that blog rush isn’t the only site of it’s kind. However, with the weight of John Reese behind the project I’m sure it will become incredibly successful.

Signup to BlogRush now. It’s completely free (no upsells or trying to sell you anything).
