Clickbank Sales Down

October 24, 2008

Clickbank is driving me crazy. On 10th september they did the big update. Since then my sales dropped like a STONE. From $300 to $80 per day. Amount of hops even INCREASED since then, but ROI dropped drastically. Some days ago sales picked up again, and yesterday another update… result: sales dropped down to $80 again.

I read in several forums, that people are not able to pay, because theri credit cards get refused. I wonder why clickbank is not fixing the problem but instead coming up with one upgrade after the other.

This starts getting ridiculous. Look over at the graph at http://www.cb-analytics.com As you can see, sales indeed dropped like a stone.

Of course, the economy problem is one factor, but there is no doubt that there is something definitely wrong over at clickbank.

It is impossible that no one buys anymore. If I was only promoting ONE niche, but I am promoting over 10 niches.

I wonder if clickbank is going down the hill….

Ewen Chias Working From Home Review

October 20, 2008

 

I had some people e-mailing me asking me which internet marketing ebook I recommend for making money. All of them stated that they are on very low budget and need cash asap. From my point of view if you are just about getting started and have only some bucks to spend I would recommend Ewen Chias “Working From Home” money making blueprint. It’s just $9.97 and for that price you will get a complete blueprint that will help you getting started. Ewen Chia will show you how to make money step by step in 30 days. Ewen Chia not only descibes one way, you will get step by step instructions for 3 ways to generate an income from your computer.

 

 

 

Ewen Chias “Working From Home” money making blueprint is definitely the best money making blueprint for newbies. It is for all folks that just started internet marketing, only have some bucks to spend and want to get a return on their investment fast and easily. By the way: you do not need a website nor an opt-in list to get started. All you need is a computer and internet access.

To be honest, I wonder, why Even Chia is giving this information away for just $9.97. From my experience most money blueprints charge anywhere from $49 to $127 for the same quality of information. Well… probably it is, because Ewan Chia is making thousands every day and does not need the income generated by selling his ebook. Probably it is his way of giving back ;-)

A Word About No Follow Tags

October 17, 2008

If you have been marketing for a while you might have heard about no follow tags. A lot of websites have added these tags to either their metatags or in the HTML of every link resulting in search engine spiders (I am talking about Google spiders, MSN spiders, Yahoo spiders) not following links posted on the site.

As a result you will not get any credits and thus will not increase your search engine rankings.
Backlinks are vital whne trying to increase search engine rankings.

So if you are building backlinks always make sure the website has not added the following in their header or in the html of links. To see the html of a website choose “source code” in your browser:
Example

One very good example of a website using o follow tag sin Hubpages.com.
There are so many marketers out there saying: “if you want to get your site ranking high in the search engines, create a blog, a Squidoo lense, and some Hubpages.”

The thing they do not mention is: Hubpages uses no follow tags for all Hubs that have a score of 70<. Meaning if you created some Hubs and they have a score below 70 you, they do not help your search engine rankings in any way!

You need to push these Hubs to increase your score to 70+!


List Of Social Bookmarking Sites

October 16, 2008

 Yesterday I wrote about marketing on Usfreeads. One thing I should have added is: make sure to social bookmark your ad! By adding your ad to several (or all) of the social bookmarking sites below you will not only increase the speed at which your ad gets indexed by google, it will also influence your rankings AND you will get additional visitors arriving directly from the social bookmarking sites.

Social bookmarking is recommended not only for USfreeads, but you should do it whenever you publish a website, write an article, write a blog post etc. Social bookmarking is a MUST these days. Some bookmarking services are better than others. I have marked the oney I like most with a *. Important: Do not spam the services by adding multiple urls from the same domain. Otherwise your account might be deleted or your bookmarks will never be available to public and only for your personal use. Thus search engines won’t see them! It is better to create multiple accounts if submitting several pages from the same domain.

USFreeAds - USFreeAds Marketing How To

October 15, 2008

 

If you are an absolute internet marketing newbie and have no idea where to start I recommend USFreeads.com. USFreeads has been attracting internet marketers for years and it still does. USFreeads gets tremendous amounts of traffic and it is not difficult to market on this classified ad site.

You have the choice of getting a free account. The disadvantage is that you cannot post clickable links. So I recommond going for gold ($10 a year) or even better: Premium ($9..95 per month). You can cancel your Premium account any time. With a Premium USFreeads account you may post clickable links, upload picutres and a lot more. This makes your ads stand out and will attract more visitors.

The great thing about USFreeads.com is, that ads containing the right keywords will get great google rankings. This is were your traffic will be coming from.

So how to get started.

1. Get a USFreeads.com acount
2. Download “Goodkeywords” (it’s a free keyword software that will help you get ideas on keywords people are searching for). You can download Goodkeywords for free at: http://www.goodkeywords.com/
3. Choose a Affiliate Network. I recommend Clickbank
4. Sign up for a clickbank account and get a clickbank ID. IT’s FREE as well!!
5. Go to ClickbankMarketplace and choose a product you’d like to promote.

6.  As en example I suggest Six Pack ABS”. YOu can find it in the Clickbank Marketplace in the HEALTH section, listed as No.1

You can find the sales page at: http://www.truthaboutabs.com/

Your affiliate url will be: http://xxxxx.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/

Replace xxxxx with your clickbank ID. This is your affiliate url. Whenever someone clicks on the link and buys the ebook you will make $24.20.

7. Now run Goodkeywords and enter your main keyword. In our example it will be something like ABS or six pack

8. Choose a keyword that has a google competition BELOW 10000. Why? Because USFreeads.com ads will only rank well for keywords with a competition below 10000. In our example this would be a keywor dlike “girls abs”

About “competition”. ti find out how many competitors there are for a keyword go to google and type in the keyword you wan tto know the competition for in “”. E.g. search for “girls abs”. As you can see there is a competition of 9900.

9. Ok, you have a USFreeads.com account, you have a clickbank account, you have chosen a product you’d like to promote, you got your affiliate Id, you have done your keyword research. Now it is time to write the ad. Log into your USFreeads account, choose the proper category and write your ad down.

a.) Make your ad short and straight to the point.
b.) Put the keyword in the title TWICE: Example Girls ABS - How To Get Strong Girls ABS In 2 Weeks
c.)  Write your ad and use the keyword at least once.
d.) At the end of the ad put your hyperlinked affiliate url: CLICK Here to Download Building Muscle Fast.

You are done!

You can create several ads for the SAME product using DIFFERENT keywords! However: DO NOT SPAM!

Write about 10 ads per day. Give the ads some time to rank in google and to draw traffic. It may take several weeks for sales to start coming in.

It is importan tthat you stick to the 10 ads per day plan! Don’t give up and be patient!

Good Luck!

Rat Race Annihilation Review

October 13, 2008

 

It’s launched! Rob Benwell and Michael Nicolas Rat Race Annihilation is finally available to public. I read about it a lot in the past weeks and was loking forward to the launch. I have to admit that I was extremely sceptical in the beginning. Why? Many ebook launches are simply overhyped and to be honest I did not expect much. However, I have to admit, that after downloading the blueprints I was extremely pleased. It has definitely been worth my investment.

So what is Rat Race Annihilation?

To bring it to straight to the point, Rat Race Annihilation will reveal the following:

1.How To Determine if a particular niche is worth promoting.

2.How to pick hot buyer-level keywords and add modifiers.

3.How to get higher ranking for your affiliate link using organic search
[free traffic]

4.How to select JVs and sneak in for the kill without having a list.

5.How to write kick butt review page that gets the sale…

 

Rat Race Annihilation provides you with the kind of information that could help you to take your internet business to the next level (whether you want to move into PPC, video marketing or something else). Much of my own success has been from what I’ve learnt from other successful marketers – through reading information on forums, reading ebooks, blogs and more.

And that’s what makes Rat Race Annihilation so damn powerful. It’s not just insights, but a compilation of success secrets from top  marketers. Call them akreitng gurus :-) And when you have information coming from a diverse group of successful people, it’s like that you’re going to learn SOMETHING  that actually works and makey your own business move forward. These marketers are giving you six figure blueprints where you can learn from both their achievements and their failures, so you won’t  make the same mistakes.

Hub Pages Marketing

October 12, 2008

 

I recently talked about Squidoo and how great it is to make money. There is another great platform that is almost as good as Squidoo: Hubpages.com

The good thing about Hubpages is that you will get organic search engine traffic even faster and with no efforts. If reading my last post you will note that for Squidoo lenses to rank, backlinks are essential.

Hubpages on the other side gets auto ranked and auto indexed. There is no need for any backlinks. The downside is that Hubpages are not that flexible. E.g. you may only add two domains pointing to the same domain. There is also no way to add banners or graphics.

Because of this the number of click throus is lower compared to Squidoo. However, there are some tricks to make your Hubpages really stand out. 

There are several really good tactics and tecniques described in “The Hub Page Cash Machine“:

 

Inside “Hub Pages Cash Machine” you’ll discover:

* Incredible ways to stuff more cold hard CASH into your pockets

* Double your profits with targeted never ending free traffic

* Profit instantly with unique GOLD digging Click bank strategies

* How to use eBay as a virtual ATM

* Learn insider techniques - Ensuring generate small pockets of wealth

 

The Hub Page Cash Machine” is an ebook you definitely should have in your protfolio if you are serious in making money with Web 2.0 sites.

Making Money On Squidoo

October 10, 2008

 

When Squidoo launched two years ago I was one of the first to join. At that time there have only been aroud 20,000 lensed built. (Today there are almost 600,000!). It was VERY EASY! All I needed to do was using my target keyword in the title and use it in my article as well. Then I added a link to the affiliate product I was promoting and within some days money started rolling in. No need to gain backlinks! Google loved Squidoo so much, they gave lenses top positions without any additional effort.

I should have known it! Due to the huge number of spam lenses created (I never created spam lenses!), google decided to no longer give squidoo such big love! Squidoo traffic dropped like a stone back in July 2007. And my income dropped as well….I moved away and thought Squidoo is dead. I focused on other web 2.0 sites. However, results have not been the same.

Some months ago I did some keyword research and noticed that there are still lenses ranking in the TOP 3 for very competitive keywords.

I knew, these lensemaster must have some knolwedge I did not have….. So I purchased some Squidoo Marketing Guides. Most of them did not contain any valuable information. However, one of them seemed to be the key to my problem´: “The Secret Cash Machine on Squidoo“.

This ebook helped me  driving traffic to my lenses again!

If you are trying to make money on Squidoo “The Secret Cash Machine on Squidoo” is a must rea
