			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To recap this week. We are flicking the switch from passive to active.</p>
<p>We are taking our first baby steps to becoming a market leader.</p>
<p>Today I want to give you some tips on how to approach forums:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.challenge.co/training/2010/mod5/day3" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.challenge.co/training/2010/mod5/day3?referer=');">http://www.challenge.co/training/2010/mod5/day3</a></p>
<p>I have some specific rules for how to conduct yourself on a forum.<br />
There is etiquette, and too many times I see people turn up on a<br />
forum and expect it to run as they wish it to.</p>
<p>Reality: it&#8217;s not all about you. It&#8217;s about respecting your<br />
environment, and first step is to learn what that environment is<br />
about. What are that forum&#8217;s rules for how you conduct yourself?</p>
<p>Then, I give you some ideas on what to put into your first forum post.<br />
It&#8217;s really very simple, and no less effective within that simplicity.</p>
<p>I suggest how to make sure the forums don&#8217;t become a time suck for<br />
you. As you are in the forums for market leadership purposes, not to<br />
actually build up your forum post count.</p>
<p>I offer an idea of how to use the forum as inspiration for your<br />
blog post on your WPD blog (your mothership site).</p>
<p>And I remind you about not engaging. Trolls are not worth your<br />
energy.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also not about you trying to sell yourself or products<br />
on a forum. They offer so much more valuable information<br />
for you to become a bona fide market leadership.</p>
<p>So remember, that greatest leaders are the greatest servants.<br />
Look to help where you can. As opposed to see what you can get<br />
from it. And remember, respect &amp; manners.</p>
<p>Finally I close today with showing you how I navigate forums<br />
on the go:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was just starting out my online business, I quickly<br />
discovered something that still bothers me to this day.</p>
<p>I was a single dad, trying to get myself and my kids off of<br />
welfare and be the provider I wanted to be, and every slicked-<br />
back guru out there was telling me:</p>
<p>&#8220;Be an affiliate marketer!  It&#8217;s the easy way to make money<br />
online because you DON&#8217;T have to SELL &#8211; let the vendor do the<br />
selling!&#8221;</p>
<p>And boy, that sounded great!  I already had a ton to learn<br />
about making money online, so if I could scratch selling off<br />
the list (at least to start) &#8211; I could get rocking and<br />
rolling&#8230;</p>
<p>BUT they LIED!</p>
<p>If I have to:</p>
<p>* Write a pay-per-click ad<br />
* Write a pre-sell<br />
* Create a bonus offer<br />
* Distribute videos<br />
* Send emails</p>
<p>All of that stuff IS selling!  Maybe a long time ago, you used<br />
to be able to just post links directly to salesletters and<br />
make a killing, but that&#8217;s never been my experience.</p>
<p>I actually DID have to learn a LOT about selling to really hit<br />
my stride and build my income.</p>
<p>Even my impartial reviews convert because I know EXACTLY what<br />
features and benefits I need to talk about to close a sale in<br />
the reader&#8217;s mind.</p>
<p>For example, if I was writing a review to sell a physical<br />
product, I really wouldn&#8217;t spend any of my review talking<br />
about the packaging.  That&#8217;s not what&#8217;s going to make the<br />
reader want what I&#8217;m reviewing, right?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a decision I&#8217;m making thinking as a salesman, and not a<br />
reviewer.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;ve gotten into affiliate marketing thinking you<br />
could avoid learning salesmanship, I&#8217;m sorry that this might<br />
seem like bad news, but it&#8217;s really NOT.</p>
<p>See, if you&#8217;re SERIOUS about escaping a day job, or just being<br />
your own boss, and you&#8217;ve decided that the internet is how<br />
you&#8217;re going to do it &#8211; just deal with the fact.</p>
<p>You MUST be willing to sell.</p>
<p>But you DON&#8217;T have to adopt any sleazy or pushy tactics.<br />
Here&#8217;s how I got over my fear of being direct with my<br />
prospects.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure if you&#8217;re like me, you&#8217;ve bought a LOT of stuff about<br />
internet marketing over the years.  What I did was went back<br />
and looked at the copy that sold ME.</p>
<p>I made a list of all the pieces that I thought convinced me to<br />
buy myself, and I ignored all the stuff that I thought was<br />
creepy or obnoxious.</p>
<p>Eventually, I had a swipe file full of subtle, but compelling<br />
ways to talk about a product that makes people really WANT it,<br />
WITHOUT having to put any kind of fake pressure on them.</p>
<p>And I only ever had to use the stuff I felt had worked on ME,<br />
and I went ahead and promoted the things I had bought and<br />
liked.  That made it really easy to sell&#8230;</p>
<p>But it WAS still SELLING, no matter what those gurus told me.</p>
<p>I only wish now that I hadn&#8217;t spent too much time AVOIDING<br />
learning salesmanship myself, because (and this is weird) I<br />
kind of felt like if I DID, I would be somehow doing it &#8220;wrong&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sounds silly &#8211; I know, but examine your own mind for a minute<br />
and think about if you&#8217;re trying to maybe unconsciously AVOID<br />
learning how to sell.  Out of fear, or because you&#8217;ve be told<br />
to&#8230; doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid or delay any longer.  Go out and learn how to<br />
sell YOU, and then go sell to people just like yourself.<br />
You&#8217;ll find it&#8217;s easy as falling off a log.</p>
<p>And FUN &#8211; plus, that&#8217;s when you really start making money as<br />
an affiliate.  At least, that&#8217;s been my own experience &#8211; which<br />
I&#8217;m glad to share with you today. <img src='http://thebiggestnewbie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Talk again soon!<br />
~ Mark</p>
<p>P.S. I almost forgot!  Do me a favor, would you &#8211; and leave a<br />
comment on my blog about your thoughts?  What &#8220;guru&#8221; lies have<br />
held you back from the income you want online?</p>
<p>Have you been scared to really take the reins and learn what<br />
you need to know, or have you let someone else dictate it?</p>

<p>This is a couple of days old now, so forgive me for writing this post a little late. I did start it over the weekend when i got news of the release but didn’t finish my blog post until today.</p>
<p>Saturday saw the release of <a href="http://toolshed.syndk8.net/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/toolshed.syndk8.net/?referer=');">Syndk8’s Auto Pligg Submitter</a>, for those who aren’t aware, Syndk8 is pretty much the top black forum on the net and <a href="http://www.pligg.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.pligg.com/?referer=');">Pligg</a> is a sort of content management system which is effectively a clone of the much loved <a href="http://www.digg.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.digg.com/?referer=');">Digg.com</a>. Pligg allows members to submit news stories about various topics and then vote and comment on said stories. This in turn effects what shows up on the front page, and how long for, its a social media news site.</p>
<p>The Pligg Auto submitter is being sold for $189 which for what it actually does is peanuts. Basically the software will allow you to mass spam almost any Pligg based site out in the wild. You would be forgiven in thinking that it isn’t a big deal until you realise that some high profile sites such as <a href="http://www.pligg.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.pligg.com/?referer=');">Sphinn.com</a> are using the Pligg engine.</p>
<p>Lets look at some of the features that the Pligg spammer (i mean auto submitter) has…</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatically register for accounts. Even breaks CAPTCHAs!!</li>
<li>Create UNLIMITED profiles and identities</li>
<li>Submit stories and comment to 1000’s of sites</li>
<li>Automated pinging after each submission</li>
<li>Stats to show succesful submissions</li>
<li>Proxy support</li>
</ul>
<p>So as you can see, it’s a pretty rounded product, and the big thing here is that it can break captcha’s which is a pretty big deal in the world of spamming. Basically you are getting a piece of software which can automate the posting of hundreds of stories and links back to your site without you hardly lifting a finger.</p>
<p>So lets look at this from the point of spamming and building your site up, you could spend $180 on this product and be able to spam a hell of a lot of sites and get some decent links in or you could spend $180 one ok quility link. If you do a Google Search for <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;q=%22powered+by+pligg%22&amp;btnG=Search&amp;meta=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en_amp_safe=off_amp_q=_22powered+by+pligg_22_amp_btnG=Search_amp_meta=&amp;referer=');">“powered by pligg”</a> you can see that the results number in the <strong>1,380,000</strong> range. Even if you assume that 25% of those sites no longer exist then you still have a massive amount of sites at your disposal to spam. Lets also check out the number of Google Searches going on at the moment…</p>
<p><img title="powered by pligg" src="http://www.chewie.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-13.png" alt="" width="500" height="52" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the image above, even though this software has only been out for four days, the amount of people searching for “powered by pligg” to spam the sites is pretty high, so what can webmasters do about it?</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove the “powered by pligg” footprint in your template</li>
<li>Take a look at using ReCaptcha instead of Pliggs built in Captcha system, there is a (sort of) guide on the <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.pligg.com%2Fpligg-mods%2F11361-recaptcha-submit-3.html&amp;ei=dSWPSJ-eKZOg0QTp8b2mBg&amp;usg=AFQjCNHRgxrCvruOpV_idekufuLaCg7NUQ&amp;sig2=xWvmmHT9vwogPe3d7ROHfA" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t_amp_ct=res_amp_cd=1_amp_url=http_3A_2F_2Fforums.pligg.com_2Fpligg-mods_2F11361-recaptcha-submit-3.html_amp_ei=dSWPSJ-eKZOg0QTp8b2mBg_amp_usg=AFQjCNHRgxrCvruOpV_idekufuLaCg7NUQ_amp_sig2=xWvmmHT9vwogPe3d7ROHfA&amp;referer=');">Pligg forum</a></li>
<li>Add in another layer of capture which asks a questions such as “is water a liquid or gas?”</li>
<li>Ensure that you monitor the number of users in the admin area, if you see this number shooting up then its safe to say that you are being targetted</li>
<li>Like the above point, watch to see the number of stories being submitted, if they jump up then you are probably being targetted</li>
</ul>
<p>I would imagine that within the next couple of releases Pligg will probably address a lot of the loopholes that the auto submitter is using to work, however it seems that this is an on going project from Syndk8 so it looks like this battle will last for some time. I must admit the Pligg development cycle can be a bit hit and miss so only time will tell what will happen.</p>
<p>In closing, i have tried to write this post from both the positive view points of a spammer and also the negative viewpoints of a Pligg admin, who knows, i may even use this software to promote my own Pligg based site <img src="http://www.chewie.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Link baiting (or linkbaiting) is the emerging art of building a useful tool, writing an interesting article, or running a newsworthy ‘event’ on a web site which naturally attracts links. Examples of some link baiting may be running a contest which includes multiple sites (such as blog contests or niche site award contests), testing a new advertising format (which was great in more ways than one for those of us who had Google AdSense up and running the days it launched), and throwing a wrench into a breaking or popular news story via attacks, a new spin, or a dash of humor. If anything, the social web and blogosphere have made linkbaiting a reality which only existed for a select few who already enjoyed broad reach and incredible viral marketing skills years ago.</p>
<p>I’ve even had an influx of links by <em>not linking</em>, like when Jeremy Zawodny <a href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004897.html" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004897.html?referer=');">‘attacked’ me in his blog</a> for forgetting to link to a quote from the Yahoo Search Blog. This led to a huge leap in traffic, ad revenue, and RSS subscriptions for the day before I even showed up at work and realized what was going on. It also led to a lot of constructive criticism of this blog from a very select focus group in Jeremy’s comments; which was taken to heart.</p>
<p>After looking up the term “<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=link+baiting" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/search?q=link+baiting&amp;referer=');">link baiting</a>” on Google I noticed that the Search Engine Journal was #1, and #2 for “<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=linkbaiting" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.google.com/search?q=linkbaiting&amp;referer=');">linkbaiting</a>” (following Performancing); hence I reckon this makes us an authority on linkbaiting, special thanks to <a href="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=2541" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=2541&amp;referer=');">Rand</a> and <a href="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=2797" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=2797&amp;referer=');">Rob</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/linkbaiting.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="10" /></p>
<p>Speaking of link baiting, I’m quite proud of the job SEJ did with our Search Blog Awards, which generated hundreds of links from sites and blogs which are completely relevant to our theme, content and market. Here’s how it worked out:</p>
<blockquote><p>1. I noticed that there are all kinds of cool blog awards and search engine awards, but no specific search blog awards. So I created one.</p>
<p>2. I started with nominations to see which blogs prove to be popular among the SEO/SEM crowd</p>
<p>3. Aaron Wall and I then categorized those nominations into SEO, Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine News, Blog Search, and other categories, including some special head to head voting; <a href="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=2641" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=2641&amp;referer=');">Matt Cutts vs. Jeremy Zawodny, and SE Roundtable vs. Threadwatch</a>.</p>
<p>4. I then sent out a handful of emails to some choice bloggers whom I have a trusted relationship with, blogs then started posting links to the awards.</p>
<p>5. Then, other bloggers cover the story (and link to SEJ) and bloggers who I did not know found mentions of their blogs on other blogs, they of course wanted to win the competition, and linked to the SEJ.</p>
<p>6. As the week went on, Jeremy Zawodny and Matt Cutts get competitive as the awards gain momentum, and place posts about the competition on their VERY POPULAR blogs : <a href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/005882.html" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/005882.html?referer=');">Jeremy’s post</a> and <a href="http://mattcutts.com/blog/he-broke-my-hort" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/mattcutts.com/blog/he-broke-my-hort?referer=');">Matt’s post</a>.</p>
<p>Matt Cutts, Senior Google Engineer even wrote : “By the way, funny, creative awards attract link love. Loren, lots of SEO blogs will link to you as a result of your blog awards. Smart, very smart.”</p>
<p>7. More blogs and sites then picked up the contest. I thought to myself “How the hell did I pull this off?” and pondered ways to capitalize on the momentum even more, like releasing the news of one winner per day next week on SEJ.</p>
<p>8. This link baiting effort took me about 4 hours of work and resulted in quite valuable natural links to the site, and not a bunch of links from offbeat directories or sites which have included me with 1,000’s of irrelevant links to my content. In essence, the linking results of the Search Blogs Awards were more or less perfect.</p></blockquote>
<p>Results :</p>
<blockquote><p>* The results of the contest led to the winning blogs announcing they have won and linking back to Search Engine Journal, which was not required.</p>
<blockquote><p>Here’s a review of links gained:</p>
<p>Nominations Announcement Post : <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.searchenginejournal.com%2Findex.php%3Fp%3D2628" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/search.yahoo.com/search?p=link_3Ahttp_3A_2F_2Fwww.searchenginejournal.com_2Findex.php_3Fp_3D2628&amp;referer=');">Yahoo : 32 backlinks</a></p>
<p>Vote for Favorite Search Blogs Post : <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.searchenginejournal.com%2Findex.php%3Fp%3D2641" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/search.yahoo.com/search?p=link_3Ahttp_3A_2F_2Fwww.searchenginejournal.com_2Findex.php_3Fp_3D2641&amp;referer=');">Yahoo : 1,960 Backlinks</a></p></blockquote>
<p>* 1,960 links to the contest announcement page is pretty good, even if 10% are judged to be quality back links, that’s still 196 more than I had beforehand. If $100 per link is the going rate for an organic &amp; valuable link to a web site, then the four hours I put into this contest resulted in $196,000 worth of links. That’s one valuable idea.</p>
<p>* Given the contest was over less than a month ago, it’s difficult to judge the effects on search ranking, but I am seeing a lot more web search generated referrals over the past two weeks, which I’m assuming are a result of this contest (and over 2,800 pages of content).</p></blockquote>
<p>This is just one example of a quality linkbaiting campaign and as linkbaiting grows, especially with an ‘unofficial’ endorsement from Google via <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-linkbait-and-linkbaiting/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-linkbait-and-linkbaiting/?referer=');">Matt Cutts</a>, expect the link generation idea market to heat up in the SEO and Internet Marketing (since linking is essentially for traffic generation) industry. How can you produce a successful linkbaiting campaign for your niche market?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogging is very effective in attracting large volumes of traffic. However, if you really want to drive huge volumes of traffic to your blog, you will need to do more than just blogging.</p>
<p>This article outlines the top seven secrets for driving traffic to your blog.</p>
<ol>
<li>Create high quality content that is rich with your keywords and phrases. This brings two main benefits. First, high quality and useful content will keep your website’s visitors interested and they will visit your blog on a regular basis and will buy the products you sell on your website. Second, fresh content with your key words will improve your search engine ranking which brings traffic to your blog and website.</li>
<li>Optimizing your titles for search engines is also an effective way of driving traffic to your website. You will need to optimize your blogs titles and use all the keywords or phrases which people use while looking for information on the internet. This will make your website visible on search engines, and your website will also rank high for all your keywords, driving traffic to your website.</li>
<li>Use email marketing with your blog. This is an effective way of bringing readers back to your blog as well as to create a list. Having your own list is important because you can sell your products and services to your list. By using an auto responder, you can send emails to your list about updates to your blog, hence driving traffic to your blog.</li>
<li>Social book marking is yet another powerful way to drive traffic to your blog. If you rank high on some of the most popular social book marking sites, you can drive large volumes of traffic to your website.</li>
<li>RSS feed for blog traffic. RSS feed is another way you can use to keep people coming back to your blog because after people subscribe to read your RSS feed, they will get updates continuously. This means that you will be bringing readers back to your blog every time you make a new blog post.</li>
<li>You can use some of your blog posts and covert them into articles. All you have to do is to add more content to your blog posts if necessary, add a catchy article heading and convert it into an article. Writing and submitting articles is one of the most excellent strategies for traffic generation.</li>
</ol>
<p>These six strategies can significantly increase the volume of traffic to your website and blog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1.    Have unique content on your website. Search engine robots look at all websites on a regular basis looking for sites with fresh and new content. It is therefore important for you to have fresh and high quality content which will get your website quickly indexed by search engines.<br />
2.    Have all your keywords on your website. It is important that you have all the relevant keywords and phrases that relate to your topic on your web pages and any articles you post on your website. This will increase your website ranking on search engines which means that your website will rank high when people type keywords relating to your topic on search engines. You will therefore get many visitors coming to your site via the search engines. When people visit your website, the high quality content you have will make people spend more time on your site and ultimately buy some of the products or services you offer on your site.<br />
3.    Because your website is new, you must submit it to search engines. Submitting your URL to the search engines is an important step towards getting more visitors because it means your website will be visible from search engines.

4.    Exchange some website links with websites that have a high popularity rank (PR). Exchanging links with popular and related websites is an effective way to drive traffic to your website, and improve the raking of your site. You will get some traffic coming to your website through other websites that you have linked to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You hardly need to be told that selling products on line as an affiliate is just about the fastest, easiest way for the little guy or gal to get rich fast. What&#8217;s more there is a mind-boggling range of products to sell, from a simple e-book to seats on a plane.</p>
<p>And, with giant retailers, such as Amazon, attributing 40% of their $billions of sales to affiliates, there are obviously millions being made from affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>So how come only about 5% of people are making serious money on line?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because knowing WHERE the gold is isn&#8217;t the same as knowing HOW to get at it.</p>
<p>All of which means all those lovely affiliate commissions are cascading into the pockets of a relatively small band of elite super affiliates, who are really laughing all the way to the bank.</p>
<p>And two guys who regularly figure in the top ten lists of super affiliates, by outselling most of their rivals, are Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson. Between them, they regularly generate hundreds of thousands of affiliate commissions every year.</p>
<p>Time and again they pick up bonuses and even cash prizes to gold plate their massive haul of affiliate commissions. And here&#8217;s the good news &#8230;</p>
<p>They are just releasing a brand new product, allowing you to pick their brains and copy their methods &#8211; and it won&#8217;t cost you a single dime. <a href="http://boyana1978.wppms.hop.clickbank.net" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/boyana1978.wppms.hop.clickbank.net?referer=');">http://boyana1978.wppms.hop.clickbank.net</a></p>
<p>And &#8211; just because it&#8217;s free &#8211; hasn&#8217;t stopped them from going hog wild on this, because they&#8217;ve distilled all the wisdom and experience painfully acquired the hard way, through painful trial and error, and are now handing you exactly what you need to copy their success.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more &#8211; once you have their secrets &#8211; the sky really will be the limit for you!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because, as a successful affiliate,  you can laugh off the usual limitations of product creation and customer service &#8211; because they&#8217;re all done for you. So you can invest the time saved sourcing the very best, most lucrative products to sell. And here&#8217;s where the WPP program hits a home run, because it gives you a simple seven step process to ensure you only get involved with the products most likely to be the easiest and most profitable sellers.</p>
<p>And maybe seven really is a lucky number, because &#8211; once you know how to evaluate the very best, most profitable products to sell, Jeremy and Simon are going to hand you your personal treasure map to locate seven gold mines that house the very best selling products for you to promote.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;ll save much heartache &#8211; and a king&#8217;s ransom &#8211; by getting the heads up about three fatal mistakes that could well be hemorrhaging cash from under your nose, right now &#8211; if you&#8217;re already selling stuff as an affiliate.</p>
<p>But they&#8217;ll soon be a distant nightmare &#8211; once you know how to fix them fast.</p>
<p>When you go through this program it&#8217;s immediately apparent all the hard-won experience at the affiliate marketing coal face is being handed to you on a plate.</p>
<p>For example, there&#8217;s a really smart way, yet oh-so-simple technique of unearthing those elusive products that no one else is promoting. This is truly El Dorado, because you can zoom in there and scoop up the rich profits leaving your bewildered competitors empty-handed and choking in your dust.</p>
<p>And what really separates the men from the boys in affiliate marketing is the vital art of getting your prospective buyer all fired up and eager to buy the product even before you send them to the vendors site. And here Jeremy and Simon give you four different ingenious ways to do this, in the most effective way possible.</p>
<p>And you&#8217;ve probably heard &#8220;The money is in the list&#8221;. And here&#8217;s one of Jeremy&#8217;s and Simon&#8217;s open secrets of success, because it&#8217;s well known they enjoy the fruits of owning some of the largest, most responsive lists around. And they are about to tell you how to do it.</p>
<p>So they reveal what they have found to be the four key parts of a successful squeeze page. Miss any one of these and you&#8217;ll be leaving a pile of cash on the table. But get all four working together and your squeeze pages will be sucking in prospects like a Shop Vac on steroids.</p>
<p>And &#8211; because you can never have too large or too targeted a list &#8211; you also get six little known techniques to unleash a torrent of red-hot prospects, eager to join your list and enjoy what you have for them.</p>
<p>And they even reveal a total of three amazing techniques to make your product owners want to give you extra commission, as well as actually promote your affiliate link themselves! Hard to believe, right now, I know, but I guarantee you&#8217;ll enjoy a couple of &#8220;ah, ha&#8221; moments when you discover how blindingly obvious, stunningly simple and highly effective these stealth techniques are.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not just mastering how to handle your product vendors that makes this program so effective. Because you also get four mega-powerful persuasion techniques that will empower you to tickle your prospect&#8217;s sweet spot, exploding the conversions to both your opt-in lists and your pre-sales pages. What&#8217;s more, you also get the absolute #1 most powerful tactic of all to make any offer you make completely irresistible.</p>
<p>And you even get the inside track on how to avoid one of the biggest problems facing affiliate marketers: losing the sale because it isn&#8217;t made via your affiliate link. So you&#8217;ll be spellbound, as you discover just how simple it is to create a &#8216;buying loop&#8217; that acts like a powerful electromagnet, when your prospect is ready to buy. That way you get every precious cent owing to you.</p>
<p>And, here&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve saved until almost last because it&#8217;s (almost) the very best part of this.</p>
<p>Did you know it&#8217;s possible to continue to enjoy the same sort of commission arrangements as Hollywood movie stars? Well it&#8217;s true! Because, much of their wealth piles up long after they&#8217;ve left the studio and moved on to another project. So Jeremy and Simon will show you exactly how to enjoy fat commission checks rolling in automatically, months &#8211; and even years &#8211; after you&#8217;ve made the actual sale!</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s truly the Holy Grail of marketing &#8211; autopilot income whilst you relax and enjoy yourself. So just imagine your life, a few exciting months down the line, when you can fully exploit Jeremy and Simon&#8217;s battle-hardened techniques.</p>
<p>Because you&#8217;ll be up to speed with picking the very best, effort-free highest paying programs &#8211; many on a regular repeat basis &#8211; you&#8217;ll have finally broken the link between the hours you work and the money you make.</p>
<p>Finally, you&#8217;ll have plenty of spare cash and the leisure time to take your loved ones on that vacation of a lifetime. Almost before you know it you&#8217;ll be able to really relax and savor the experience of doing what you&#8217;ve wanted to do for years &#8230; give your boss the pink slip and step up to join the elite super-rich affiliates.</p>
<p>Once the free launch period is over, the regular price for this program will be $27, which is a very fair price for the keys to The Kingdom Of Super Affiliate Status. Yet &#8211; if you hit this link right away <a title="click here now" href="http://boyana1978.wppms.hop.clickbank.net" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/boyana1978.wppms.hop.clickbank.net?referer=');">http://boyana1978.wppms.hop.clickbank.net</a></p>
<p>you might still be able to snag the entire package for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">Blogging is very effective in attracting large volumes of traffic. However, if you really want to drive huge volumes of traffic to your blog, you will need to do more than just blogging. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">This article outlines the top seven secrets for driving traffic to your blog.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;"><span>1.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">Create high quality content that is rich with your keywords and phrases. This brings two main benefits. First, high quality and useful content will keep your website’s visitors interested and they will visit your blog on a regular basis and will buy the products you sell on your website. Second, fresh content with your key words will improve your search engine ranking which brings traffic to your blog and website. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;"><span>2.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">Optimizing your titles for search engines is also an effective way of driving traffic to your website. You will need to optimize your blogs titles and use all the keywords or phrases which people use while looking for information on the internet. This will make your website visible on search engines, and your website will also rank high for all your keywords, driving traffic to your website.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;"><span>3.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">Use email marketing with your blog. This is an effective way of bringing readers back to your blog as well as to create a list. Having your own list is important because you can sell your products and services to your list. By using an auto responder, you can send emails to your list about updates to your blog, hence driving traffic to your blog. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;"><span>4.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">Social book marking is yet another powerful way to drive traffic to your blog. If you rank high on some of the most popular social book marking sites, you can drive large volumes of traffic to your website. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;"><span>5.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">RSS feed for blog traffic. RSS feed is another way you can use to keep people coming back to your blog because after people subscribe to read your RSS feed, they will get updates continuously. This means that you will be bringing readers back to your blog every time you make a new blog post. </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;"><span>6.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">You can use some of your blog posts and covert them into articles. All you have to do is to add more content to your blog posts if necessary, add a catchy article heading and convert it into an article. Writing and submitting articles is one of the most excellent strategies for traffic generation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;">These six strategies can significantly increase the volume of traffic to your website and blog</span></p>
