Oh sweet lord! Keyword Blaze Pro just hit the market and it has a seriously small window of savings so I’m blasting this review out there for my readers.

—> 5 HOUR WINDOW!

Click that link and buy ASAP, then come back and read below. It’s a 5 hour window to only pay $17 for the next generation and final word on keyword research. Oh, it works on Mac too :)

What’s Keyword Blaze Pro?

Glad you asked. You may know, but the team behind Keyword Blaze Pro has been beta testing behind the scenes for quite a while now. Like, around 5 months or so with a free version of Keyword Blaze that did just the basic keyword research. People were so amazed at this thing that they went ahead with developing out the rest of it. If you watch the video on their sales page, you’ll see some of the great features included in this tool.

• It does the keyword research thing
• It does the competition rating thing, with all relevant metrics
• It does the sweet keyword suggestions cloud thing

It does it all, you see. Here’s the thing. Let’s talk about the previous, reigning champ in the keyword research arena for the last handful of years. Market Samurai used to be great. It did so many cool things that gave you a great picture of all the little metrics that go into selecting a niche to develop in and make some money. Then Yahoo killed their backlink tracking service. Then problem after problem after crash plagued our dear Samurai friend. Oh, and she was a big, fat, slow beast that took forever to do the research.

Finally someone has come along and took MS behind the barn to put it out it’s misery. About time. Keyword Blaze Pro does all that great stuff:

It runs on Mac

It doesn’t crash after taking an hour to pull keywords

It’s incredibly fast at researching

It’s loaded with all the feature any marketer could need

There’s no annoying Captchas to fill in

There’s no monthly fee!

Basically, it’s seriously amazing. Like I said, 5 hour window starting now (it may be extended because WarriorPlus is melting from the sales right now, as it likes to do, so Clayton may end up pushing out the huge discount longer for a legitamite reason). After the 5 hour window it’s going up ever 24 hours until it tops at $47, and then makes the leap to Clickbank to rest at the price that it honestly should be selling at for all it’s features.

Don’t miss out on this folks or you’ll be kicking your self later.

Welcome to our special little Social Metrics Pro Plugin Review! The name Daniel Tan probably rings a bell if you’re into WordPress and SEO even just a little bit. He’s the creator of the  SEOPressor plugin and it was and is to this day, the defacto standard that every “automatic” SEO guide plugin is judged against. After the huge success of that plugin, Daniel has finally released his next monster product on the digital world in the form of Social Metrics Pro.

About Social Metrics

So the buzz lately in the SEO world is that social metrics are beginning to make a big impact in how well your website is ranked in the search engines. This does make sense because the back link/anchor text combo has been relied on for so long. It’s about time another indicator was thrown in the mix to supplement that classic metric. When something is trending or popular, the search engines like to pick up on it as quickly as possible to give it a nice spot at the top of their search results. You can see that Google is refining this process constantly by reading their various blogs.

Social Metrics are how many of the various social media sites are actively talking about and linking to your website or content on your website. If you post an exclusive photo you snapped with your cell phone on day of say, Kim Kardashian being naughty and it goes viral on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll receive a truck load of social metric signals and you’ll find yourself suddenly rocketed to the top of the Google search results. Now apply this to whatever your website is about. You need people talking about your website.

Onto The Social Metrics Pro Review

Our tests show that sites with social engagement and social appearances tend to rank easier and faster than websites without. Therefore, everyone needs to be engaging in social signal generation for their SEO and traffic efforts, and you need to TRACK these Social Signals.

You can, of course, go to each of the social sites to check on your current ranking, but it’s painstaking, boring and time consuming. No one wants to do it that way!

The solution: Social Metrics Pro of course! The SMPro plugin tracks social signals the way Google sees it. It will also put a number on it, which is the number of times your posts and pages appear on the various social media sites. When it’s low, it’s RED. When it’s good, it’s GREEN. Simple and easily read statistics at a glance.

When you turn all the reds to greens (working on social media marketing), you tend to get very good results with traffic, more keywords ranked and this of course means more money from the traffic to your websites.

Here’s some statistic reports for the number guys:

Our TOP 10% of the sites by performance, got up to 360% more traffic, 410% more keywords ranked into the first page of Google and 310% more revenues!

Boo-ya! I love saying that.

Social Metrics Pro Review Conclusion

Daniel Tan has hit another gold vein with this one I think. Just like his previous blockbuster plugin, this one is sure to spawn a ton of imitators, especially as the social media signals game heats up even more. This is ultimately one of those great time savers and allows you to take a quick glance and track your “social media score” to boost your website up the search results pages, or solidify your spot in concrete goodness. Don’t miss out on this one folks, it’s gonna be a scorcher.

It seems like 75% or more of the products I review (or are coming out and warrant a review anyway…) have “Commission” in the title and so, I bring you Jimmy Kim’s Commission Avalanche! Affiliate marketing products are as hot as ever because:

1. They’re relatively easy to get into.
2. Thanks to the economy, more people than ever are looking for unorthodox income means and turn to internet marketing.

The Commission Avalanche Review

How It Starts

Jimmy does a great job in catering to number two above by starting out with explaining the basics. Much like this website, he knows that helping and explaining to people the basics is essential to them succeeding in the IM market place.

He then goes on to teach everything you need to know from the common ways to promote affiliate products, squeeze pages , traffic and even how to set yourself away from the pack and stand out. It’s really a very comprehensive course that most people need as a basis to start affiliate marketing and make money online.

To pound this home, buyers will join Jimmy himself in a live 10-week boot camp in which he has a fully mapped out curriculum that they will follow.  The point of this is to create an atmosphere where they are FORCED to take action. That may sound…aggressive but if you’ve been in the game a while you’ll immediately understand that a lot of folks need that pressure to keep them focused and moving forward. It’s said 90% of IMers fail at first, and that’s largely accredited to quitting too early and not focusing.

To Build A Business

A lot of people consider internet marketing a hobby, and that’s fine. To truly start churning money and ditching the ol’ 9-5 job, it’s important to start thinking of it as a business. That’s where part two of Commission Avalanche comes in.

You’re going to receive four powerful software tools to help you out:

Automated Avalanche
Software plus a Done-For-You package that can get you up and running blogs in minutes. This also includes 60(!) FULLY DONE for you campaigns as well.

Traffic Avalanche
This is actually a 3 Software Suite Package in one. Used together they are going to help you automate a lot of what Jimmy teaches in his course.

Commission Avalanche Review Conclusion

This marketing course and software is a well put together package and I think it will sell pretty nicely. It’s not overly “hypey” and is pretty straight forward in how it’s going to help you in your affiliate marketing adventures. I would recommend it for the beginner to intermediate level of internet marketers. Advanced users will likely get less out of it as you’re probably already well underway.

Today I’m going to talk about an advertising network. It’s not just any ol’ network of course. This one’s got some cool twists that will help you make the most out of your website traffic that you generate, or it’s also an awesome platform for advertising that has good quality at a fraction of the price of something like Adwords.

SentientAds Explained

So SentientAds bills itself as the intelligent hybrid ad network. You’re probably familiar with the “big” player in the market, Google Adsense/Adwords. Then you have AdBrite, Chitika, and Clicksor. Those are the ones usually mentioned when someone asks about Adsense alternatives and the caveat and groan is almost always added with a “but you won’t get paid nearly as much as Adsense” or “Nothing’s better than Adsense”. Yes, Adsense pays the most because it uses Adwords on the other side which costs the most to advertise.

So, SentientAds works like those networks in that as a publisher, you can choose different sizes of ads and put up a snippet of code on your website that makes you money whenever someone clicks the ad. As an advertiser, you can put in “bids” and advertise whatever you want. That’s where SentientAds is different. I’ll explain from the two different points of view.

Publishers

Being a hybrid network, SentientAds meshes Pay-Per-Click (PPC) and Cost-Per-Action (CPA).

• You signup for a free account with them, no B.S. hoops to jump through.
• Pick your market vertical that matches with your website audience.
• Pick your demographics that match your audience (Age and Gender).
• Put the code that they give you on your website.
• Profit.

Here’s the cool stuff that goes on behind the scenes. The ads that are displayed on your site are automatically optimized and tested to find the ads that are generating not only the most clickthroughs, but also the most money per click for you. The system will also start to test CPA offers for you. When your website visitors clickthrough your ad and convert a CPA offer, you automatically get that bonus. So while you may be cruising along getting a couple bucks per click on your PPC ads, you can suddenly get a nice surge of cash if a vistor goes through to convert on the advertiser’s offer!

Free bonus money without you having to do anything at all. Pretty cool in my book.

Advertising

Like Google Adwords display advertising, AdBrite or 7Search, you can advertise on the SentientAds network. This is also a straight forward process where you:

• Geo-target your ads to particular countries.
• Pick your target audience by market vertical, keyword and Age/Gender demographics.
• Upload your banner ad.
• Set a PPC bid and ad spend limit.
• Optionally set a CPA bid.

The behind the scenes action for advertisers is pretty cool too. The network automatically A/B split tests your ad creatives to find the winners for you. The ads that generate the most click throughs are shown more often, generating optimized traffic to your offer. However, if you set a CPA bid, you can upload your tracking pixel to the SentientAds system. Now, the network will test advertisements on a CPA basis. You of course won’t be paying for clicks on these ads, and only when they successfully convert for you. When this happens, you get the bonus of an action taken making you more money, and the publisher that sent the conversion gets a monetary bonus. Everyone wins!

There’s more you can find out on their official website. SentientAds is still in late beta with more features on the way. Even though they’re in a beta phase, there’s still loads of advertisers and publishers so you won’t have any trouble finding offers or publishers to send traffic. Check it out and sign up!

The New ClickBank Code – Tim Bekker and Jesse Regan

As evidenced by my very own WSO, ClickBank Colossus (which sold a healthy amount of copies, because it’s not full of bullshit like most WSOs :P), I’m a pretty big fan of ClickBank. In fact, I make 80% of my internet income from ClickBank. The other 20% is split between Amazon and Fiverr gigs. Now, you’ll probably run into a lot of people saying that something like Adsense or CPA is the easier ways to make money while ClickBank is the toughest because it requires people to whip out their wallets. I’ve personally found this to not be true at all. Maybe I’m an oddity, but I’ve found that you’ll be most successful if you select a product to promote that you know provides value to the customer.

There’s a new product coming out by Tim Bekker and Jesse Regan called The New ClickBank Code. These are the same guys that launched a previous product called Click N Bank which was a huge success. They’re also fans of ClickBank as you can see :) Here’s what it’s all about:

The New ClickBank Code Review

I got a hold of a review copy so I can lay it all out for you guys NoBull style. This course is comprised of 4 Doc/PDF blueprint manuals, 8 full videos, and a free bonus centered around meshing their system with four proven email marketing methods.

One of my favorite lines from the blueprint manuals is that they are making this course accessible to newbies and veterans alike. I know a lot of products claim that, but the New ClickBank Code actually guides you through how their system works for them. Speaking of their system, it’s actually based on real world results. There’s nothing more irritating to me than a product that’s all hyped up and ends up being a good idea based on theory…that ends up being a bust because it doesn’t work in practice. None of that here. It’s all laid out.

The second line I love is that it’s not a get rich quick system. Yes, their banners come off “hypey” about earning over $107k in a little over a month. That’s called salesmanship and the claims are what a veteran of the IM game can potentially make. As a newbie or intermediate guy, of course you’ll make less than that starting out, but making even 1% of that would be a huge milestone and confidence booster for your internet marketing career, no? That part is actually easily attainable with the New ClickBank Code.

Tim goes over some great Do’s and Don’ts of ClickBank affiliate marketing that are essential for everyone. Nothing hurts more than not only making money for your efforts, but knowing that you completely wasted chunks of time doing the wrong thing.

There’s three ways to make it in internet marketing in my opinion and experience. Dumb luck (usually won’t last long or be repeatable), think of your own genius idea of a product and sell it to make huge bank (not a bad plan, but can be costly depending on what you’re making, or follow the lead of someone who’s made it already (be careful of some “coaching” programs though. Do your research). Tim brings it home in the New ClickBank Code for a sexy asking price and it’ll be hard to find a course on ClickBank made by someone as reputable in the market.

New ClickBank Code Bonus

I mentioned there’s a nice free bonus on email marketing tactics. This is over 100 pages of content and four pages of email marketing blueprints that Tim himself uses. Once you get a firm handle on how ClickBank affiliate marketing works, meshing it into email marketing is how you begin pulling the huge bucks. Obviously this bonus is a natural fit for the New ClickBank Code product and is a great guide on it’s own, let alone for free.

The New ClickBank Code Conclussion

As I go back over my review here, I realize it might sound like I’m gushing a bit. I just get all hot and bothered when a product comes along that I know works, because I operate in the CB marketplace myself. I only wish I had the time to write out a huge product like the Code too…

Do yourself a solid and hit the big button below for a completely free, no-gotchas gift that they have for their prelaunch. The New ClickBank Code will be launching on February 20th, so keep an eye out!

The New ClickBank Code

Alright. Maybe not the decade…

I wanted to drop a post and let you all know that I decided to write up my first WSO report and I launched it this afternoon. It’s called ClickBank Colossus because that’s the platform I chose at the time, but you can use it for any platform that has an offer that you’re interested in.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m an offline IM guy by trade but I’ve been getting into the online side which effectively makes me a newbie on the whole online affiliate thing. My WSO is geared toward other newbies, or veterans of the game that just haven’t really been able to make some dough yet.

It centers on trend marketing, and how I was able to take a genre that I’m personally interested in, MMORPG gaming, and spot a trend as it was approaching. I then was able to find ClickBank offers centered around my particular niche and setup a website to draw in the crowd as launch day for the game came. I go over exactly what methods and services I used to generate the most traffic and secure a spot at #3 in the Google SERPs just in time for prelaunch of the game. This was back at the beginning of December and prelaunch was on like the 15th or something so it was around 2 weeks.

I also have a nice bonus of course if all else fails, the bonus is worth the small asking price. I hope you enjoy it if you do check it out, if not, thanks for reading this post!

ClickBank Colossus WSO

It’s time to share my first “strategy” with you guys! This one I’m just going to call Backdoor Backlinks because you’re kind of forcing websites to drop you a backlink. Don’t worry, it’s totally legit. You’ll see after reading the rest of this post :)

First, I recommend installing SEO Quake (full, not Lite) in Firefox. They do have a Chrome version but I could never get the bar to display in the SERPs correctly for me. You might have better luck.

Step 1

First, we’re going to go to Google and plug in this phrase with quotes:

“Sites That Link to this Post”

Step 2

In another tab/window, create yourself a free web 2.0 website.

Put some content on this site. A simple article will do.

Step 3

Put some  no-follow links in your article that point to a couple (or one) of the websites in Step 1.

Step 4

Put some do-follow links on your web 2.0 page that point to your money site.

Your ninja’ed back links will then show up on the sites from Step 1 like in this picture:

Step 5

Profit.

Final Notes:

When using Google to find the websites from Step 1, we’re going to use the SEO Quake toolbar to allow us to filter a page of the Google search results by PageRank.

You can use the awesome tool Scrapebox to scrape up a butt load of these type of sites. That link is non-affiliated and is good for $40 off of the program. Don’t pay attention to the “discount copies remaining”, it’s been at 22 left for a year or more :P

If you’re up to speed on the SEO game, you know how valuable Web 2.0 websites are to act as a nice link buffer which reduces the chance of your website getting “sandboxed” or dancing around the Google SERPs for months on end. Here’s a list of Web 2.0 websites listed by PageRank.

Google Takes Aim At Websites That Are Top Heavy With Ads

The newest blip of news out of the Google camp the last couple of days is word from Matt Cutts about the next algorithm change for the Google search engine. You’ve seen, or may have, one of those websites that when you open it up it’s busting at the seams with ads right in your face, leaving you to wonder where the meat is. You gotta hand it to some of these webmasters for trying. Unfortunately for them, all of these websites are going to get ranked lower in the search results going forward. According to Mr. Cutts himself, this will only affect about 1% of the current websites in the search index, so it sounds like only those where literally the entire “Above the Fold” area is slathered in ads.

Google The Hypocrite?

In the source blog post by Google, they mention using a Browser size tool to see how much of the screen real estate is taken up by advertisements and go from there. However, checking out this screenshot from a netbook computer of Google’s own search results page paints a funny picture.

Hmmm. Nice Google. Very Nice…

Here’s the source blog post from the Official Google Webmaster blog with more information from the horse’s mouth.

Commission Breakthrough is a new product by Bruce Kelly and is put together by a “dream team” of internet marketers. It’s set to launch Janurary 28th and I’m sure this will be another email inbox-buster as affiliates launch an armada of emails about it.

The thing I like about Commission Breakthrough is that it’s a software product. I don’t know what it is about software products, but they’re always my favorite. I think it’s because I can just let a program run on my computer, pretty much doing everything for me and making progress, it let’s me feel like I’m multitasking. Something is always being done and not a second of my time wasted.

Anyways, Commission Breakthrough is one of those products that claims to be setup in a few clicks and then starts generating free hands-off traffic in a few clicks. It’s especially aimed toward the internet marketing beginner crowd because it does all the grunt work behind the scenes. This is pretty nice for busy seasoned vets as well of course to offload tedious traffic generating work.

Commission Breakthrough Breakdown

Using this software, it will take you one click to setup a website. (You don’t have to install templates or screw with WordPress at all.) Another mouse click does the niche research and keyword research for you. Then another click will evaluate your competition and give you a report. Oh, and yet another single click checks on your campaign for you. And there’s more clicks where that came from! But, each click is doing quite a bit of automated work for you.

What’s unique about Commission Breakthrough?

That would be the source of traffic behind this machine!

The software leverages a traffic source that’s never really been mentioned in any other information product or software before.

What’s the secret sauce traffic source?

As this is No Bull IM after all, I’m not a fan of any product playing on the “secret” anything, so here’s the spilled beans on the secret traffic source: This software/course uses a twist on leveraging traffic from Wikipedia.org.

So, Should You Buy It?

I hate to ride the fence, but I’ll say a resounding “Maybe”. If you want to leverage a traffic source that not many people are using and has some proven success in bringing in nice amounts of traffic, then do yourself a favor and at least checkout the sales video on their website. On the other hand, there are a couple reports from the field that are saying some people’s links on Wikipedia are getting burned down by the moderating staff. These are unconfirmed reports mind you, and it’s possible they’re not following the system as Bruce has directed. Secondly, a minor personal thing from me, I think they spread their software over too many upsells when it should all be packaged together into one upsell. They’re solid software it seems, but it’s up to you to decide if they’re for you.

Over View Video

Here’s the video that goes over what you can expect from the software and commission breakthrough service.

Commission Breakthrough Review Conclusion

I’d say Mr. Kelly found a sweet way to drive traffic that worked for him and there’s a fairly wide margin of users that have found success with it and some that haven’t. Wikipedia moderators slapping some mouths is kind of a bummer, though I’m not sure how reliable those reports are to be honest. Here’s the link if you want to check it out anyways!
