It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. I do apologize for that. I’ve had a lot of things going on with several product launches and just life in general.

Anyways I want to tell you about a pretty AWESOME and FREE tool that the guys over at PPC Bully are giving away.

It’s…

A tool bar… Thats it really… But this toolbar has some pretty good functionality in it for PPC marketers!

Now, if you are like any other affiliate in the industry then you know very well how quickly you can have ” Information Overload”, especially when it comes to research and just keeping all of your most visited “PPC related websites” in line.

Luckily for us someone wised up and put together a great list of resources into one easy to install toolbar.

How many of us have a TON of bookmarks but no order to the list? I literally have HUNDREDS of bookmarks… And the worst part is I know that many of my bookmarks are duplicates because they get lost in the list… So I type in the URL manually and hit the “Bookmark” button all over again. Yeah I could organize them… But that takes too much of my time, especially with how many I have…

err… Anyways… PPC Bully’s new tool bar gives you all of the PPC links that you need in one location. They have resources for offer research, keyword research, niche research, website research, articles, and a bunch more.

There is even some build in functionality that works with the PPC Bully databases. You can essentially grab PPC Bully results for keywords. I paid $1400+ for the PPC Bully tool when it first came out… And now you can have it basically for free…

It all comes down to this… The PPC Bully Tool Bar is your one stop for anything PPC related. The only thing it doesn’t do is teach you how to market online… But I’m hoping that you know the basics already.

Seriously… There’s NOTHING to buy… No upsells, no “pro” version. Nothing.

Don’t believe me? See it for yourself:
Click Here To Go To The PPC Bully Tool Bar

Go to their site and download their new tool for free NOW.

Really.

Stop reading right now and do it before they start charging for it.

Here’s the link again:

BAM… CLICK HERE!

Not long ago “Traditional Advertising Agencies” ruled the advertising landscape. Companies would hire these traditional agencies as their “agencies of record” and the agency would put together their media plans, do their creative work and negotiate their media buys. Advertising agencies would do all of this for a 15% commission of the monthly media buys. To give you insight as to how traditional advertising agencies make money here is a little tidbit of info.

Most traditional media sources have 2 prices. The net price and the gross price. Traditional media is supposed to give advertising agencies the net price and advertisers asking for pricing directly from the media source are supposed to be given the gross price. The difference between net and gross pricing is 15% and that is the agency profit margin.

The problem with this model is that the ad agency and the advertiser do not have their interests aligned. In order for the agency to make more profit, they have to push more advertising on their client. They have to encourage the client to spend more whether or not that advertising is actually effective. If they don’t encourage their client to spend more money, they aren’t acting in their own self interest as an ad agency.

Affiliate Networks & Affiliate marketers already see the future. The reason that the model works so well and is so efficient is that everyone’s interests are aligned.

Advertisers make more money when Affiliate Networks make more money.
Affiliate Networks make more money when Affiliates make more money.
Affiliates make more money when everyone else makes more money.

No 1 party makes more money without all of the others benefiting as well. The model works because interests are aligned.

Unless the traditional advertising agency figures out a way to align their interests with their clients interests they may be a dying breed.

Why do you as an affiliate care?

Knowledge is power. Affiliates are a powerful force on the internet and many affiliates pursue other avenues of revenue. Knowing the issues plaguing the traditional advertising agency gives you the power to create websites, services and projects that align the interests of both publishers and advertisers rendering the traditional agency near obsolete.

If you know anything about the Acai Berry or the Google Bizops going around then you will know that most of the landing pages that affiliates are creating have several testimonials included.  Here are some exerpts from the new amendment to these rules.  These were last updated in 1980!

Under the revised Guides, advertisements that feature a consumer and convey his or her experience with a product or service as typical when that is not the case will be required to clearly disclose the results that consumers can generally expect. In contrast to the 1980 version of the Guides – which allowed advertisers to describe unusual results in a testimonial as long as they included a disclaimer such as “results not typical” – the revised Guides no longer contain this safe harbor.

Also this:

both advertisers and endorsers may be liable for false or unsubstantiated claims made in an endorsement – or for failure to disclose material connections between the advertiser and endorsers.

Do we have to state that we get a commission per sale of a product?  This can be very interesting.  Will we now hear Oprah say “Acai Berry X paid me $1 Million to tell you their product ROCKS!” ???

Here are the top 5 posts in September.

• 40 Minute Video on Niche Research- Once again…  This is a hot hot video.  I frequently get told about how people are refered to this video by their affiliate managers.  This is an EPIC video! It’s a great video that covers some very basic techniques in researching your niche before you jump in to it. Watch it… and please leave a comment!
• CPA Offer Search- This is a new one to the top post list.  It’s actually not a post but a tool for searching CPA offers.  Here you can compare different offers in the same niche. There are currently over 25,000 different offers that can be search with this nifty little tool!
• Check out Revolution 202 Right Now- This is a post I wouldn’t have expected to make the list.  But it did.  With a couple thousand visitors too… I was surprised.  Anyways, this post is short and just explains how the Tracking202 team has started their own CPA network.  Not only do they provide you with quality tools to use in your marketing efforts, but now they provide you with a place to find offers.
• 9 Marketing Methods- I think this is the only post from September that made the list. This was posted on 9/9/2009 so I had to play on the 9s theme and post 9 different methods for marketing. This post very briefly touches on PPC, SEO, Media Buying, Social Marketing, and more.
• The Landing Page Example-Just a simple little example of a very basic landing page.  This isn’t rocket science, but you can get an idea of some of the landing pages that I use and have success with.  The biggest contributor to this post is 5 star affiliates.  Thank you Linda for sending people to the blog :)

Thats it guys and gals.  Those are the top 5 posts in September.  Please remember we have a members forum.  There is a lot of good information in there.  If you have questions please post them in there.  If you have comments please post them here.

Let’s have a good October!

• Pay Per Click- This is the most widely known method for Internet marketing. It is super easy to jump onto Google, Yahoo, or Bing, and create an advertisment. There are other networks that you can use as well. Don’t just stick with the big three. One of my most profitable campaigns ever came from a second tier search engine.
• Media Buying- You may or may not have heard of Media Buying before. It’s where you advertise banners on other websites, blogs, or forums. This can be one of the most profitable forms of advertising that I have ever seen. It can also kill your bank account if you don’t do it right. They key (as with any advertising) is to match a sites demographic with the banner you want to place.
• Social Networking- I’m sure we all have a facebook or myspace account. What about a twitter account? Anytime you can use your “friends” to make a quick buck you should give it a shot. Leveraging the power of the social networks can be very beneficial to your long term success. It’s all about the power of the “word”… word of mouth that is. What are other people saying about you?
• Mass Mailing- Not the spammy type of messages. I’m talking about building your own list. Or even renting a list from someone who has done the leg work for you. Of course it will be more profitable if you build the list yourself, however, you can always make money from someone elses list. Building a relationship with the reader is the #1 way to get them to buy what your selling!
• Advertise with Online Classifieds- There are tons of classified ad sites online. It is very easy to jump in and create an advertisement for an offer you want to promote. However, you have to watch out. On some of the advertising networks you can get your ads taken down pretty fast. They key here is to be creative and post your ad in multiple cities. Take it one step further… hire someone to post for you!
• Promote with Blogs and Forums- One of the easiest ways to gain traffic is by showing people how much you know. I don’t mean to create your own blog or forum. What you should do is find a related blog/forum in the niche you want to promote, then take some time to answer peoples questions. Don’t forget to include your website in the signature. Whatever you do… Don’t blatantly promote your product.
• Article Directories- Here is a tactic that can cost you either money or time. Create articles and post them in article directories. Just give out general information on your niche. These articles don’t have to be long. They just have to prove that you know what your talking about. Remember to site your sources with a reference to your own site. This is sure to help your SEO and generate some easy traffic.
• Web 2.0- Squidoo, Blogger, Xanga, Tumblr, and HubPages all have one thing in common. They all cater to thousands of people on a daily basis. All creating little information portals. These sites can receive quick and easy rankings in the search engines. Using many of these tied together with links can create a huge web of success in terms of traffic and traffic rankings.
• Offline Advertising- Billboard for 30 days =$500. Visitors to my website =2423. Leads created=171. Commission generated =$897.75. And that was just for a dating offer. Imagine if you purchased billboard space for Google Bizopp. Or have you ever tried purchasing space in a newspaper? Think about college scholarship offers in college newspapers… The possibilities for offline advertising are endless!

• 40 Minute Video on Niche Research- I get more comments via email about this one video. It suprised me how many people didn’t know about Google Insight. I’m also amazed at the lack of using Google Sponsored Search. It’s a great video that covers some very basic techniques in researching your niche before you jump in to it. Watch it… and please leave a comment!
• The Famous Question- In all honesty I didn’t remember this post… Until I read it. I still get asked the question posed in this post. Now that I remember this exists… I’m going to begin referring people to read it when they ask the question. The main point of this post can really help you grow your business 10 fold.
• $25,000 drawing – What would you buy if you won?- This is the only post actually written in august that made this top 5 posts list. Here I was giving some information on a contest we are running with Karaktr Media for $25,000. Everyone can win. This isn’t one of those contests that is slanted towards the “biggest fish” in the industry. The great thing about this contest is that the sign-up forum is now even shorter!
• The Landing Page Example!- This post is always in the top somewhere. This is a very basic example of a landing page. I’ve provided a link to download the actual landing page from within the “Free Reports” section of the blog.
• Sneaky Links – Meta Refresh Vs. PhP Redirect- This post is a Ruck original. During the end of 2007 beginning of 2008 many people were asking the questions on using a meta refresh. So Ruck went ahead and created a pretty useful post on using Meta Refresh or PHP redirects. Maybe I should create a post on different methods for blanking the referrer…

That’s it guys and gals. Those are your top 5 posts in August. What did you think?

Hey guys. This has been a long time in the works. I’m just going to jump right into it an explain whats going on. For about 6 months or so I have been trying to find a network that would allow me to do a contest for $25,000. This isn’t just any old contest though. This is the real deal where every affiliate has a chance to win. Not just those affiliates that make the big bucks. Let me explain.

Karaktr Media and I have teamed up to present a contest that awards a ballot to individuals for certain actions. Each ballot will allow the individual to enter in a drawing for $25,000 at the end of the contest. This is our way of “leveling the playing field”! Those affiliates who don’t promote in big numbers will easily be able to generate one ballot a day, while those who generate huge numbers can earn up to 5 ballots a day. Does this not make it fair for everyone? Now you have a chance to win even if you are just starting out in this industry!

So who exactly is Karaktr Media? How are they different from other “networks”?
Well to be honest with you … They aren’t a network. They are the advertiser. That means that they own the products. They create them. They distribute them. This is good for you because you can potentially generate a higher payout than the network can give you because there is no middle man. You can also take advantage of their REOCCURRING COMMISSIONS!!!…WTF… Yeah it’s weird… I’m not going to lie… Reoccurring commissions for pushing Berries or Pipe cleaner (colon cleanser). Can you imagine how much you can generate from this one little perk on a month to month basis? Crazy I know… Oh and… Payouts START at a whopping $42!

Now what do you have to do to join? Well… That’s the easy part. There are 4 ways to win. And in all honesty you can learn about them by going to the contest page. http://www.cashtactics.net/karaktr/
Click on one of the “Four ways to win” to be taken to the proper section on the page.

Good luck and happy fishing!
