To-DO: CPA, Affiliate, PPC

Posted on by Donald in CPA, PPC, To-Do 1 Comment

Too many ideas, too many projects, too many distractions!

Surprisingly my to-do list has shrunk these few weeks, but I still feel I’m being pulled in too many directions at one time. I can’t seem to do what I know needs to be done. I have things on my list that won’t go away. For example I have this upgrade I should have done to one of my sites months ago, still on my list! What’s stopping me from doing it? The fact that I know it will take me 2-3 hours to do it, and lots of trying to figure out what files need to be edited and what files are okay is the problem. It’s just a massive project that will take a lot of concentration to get it done within 2-3 hours. It’s the biggest thing to do, and the most important but yet I don’t do it.

Another thing on my list is a $500 charge on my VISA I need to dispute, but I haven’t done it yet. Time is running out and yet I haven’t called yet. I actually plan to do this the next time I pay the bill, hopefully within a couple days.

I guess I have been doing a few things. One of the items on my to-do list has been to cut back on unneeded monthly charges. I’ve so far saved: $558. That’s pretty awesome! That’s $558 I’m saving every month by canceling services I’m not using! That’s a car payment!

I’ve recently separated my to-do list by “One time projects” and “Long term projects”. I told my self to do one from each list, taking turns between and it seemed to work for the first couple of days. I haven’t done much from the long term list this week. One of my big things is to start doing more back linking. I’ve only been developing my sites recently and not any SEO, so backlinking is now a high priority for me. I tried to get a friend of mine to create backlinks for me, but that didn’t work out so well. So far the guy only created 15 links!?! I need somewhere around 150-200 links for my 80 sites. And I’m paying the guy I think it was 35 cents per link created. It’s not a hard job, just a lot of repetitiveness. Oh well…

Other then my lack of getting things done, I’ve been dong a lot of research on CPA affiliates. I’ve even found this blog run by a 14 year old where he talks about his CPA. I mean what the hell! This guy is making thousands a month easy doing CPA, and I haven’t really started to dive deep yet! I’ve been putting things in motion to start CPA (Cost Per Action) affiliation hardcore, I’m almost at that point and really want to do it! I tried clickbank as a test and I’m happy to say that it works pretty well. Without paying for traffic, or even creating any real squeeze pages, I’ve managed to generate about $150 within one week of messing about some affiliates. That’s pretty cool. That tells me that CPA works and it’s worth looking into further. I’ve been reading CPA forums at ewealth, digitalpoint, and even webmasterworld. I think I’ve learned a lot so far.

I guess the basic idea would be to first sign up as an affiliate from sites like, CJ, Click Bank, Azoogleads. Then find a product that seems to pay well and easy to promote. An easy way to promote would be to place your affiliate link of personal sites, forum signatures, articles you’ve written, etc and hang back and hope for a sale. Another way would be to create a squeeze page based on your product you’re promoting, and sending traffic to it by PPC advertising, SEO, and other internet marketing. Squeeze pages are huge money makers if you make them right. I’m new to the business and haven’t yet made squeeze pages, but I know how they work and I’m excited at the possibility. I mean I’ve been doing PPC for years now, so I know how I can get the most for my money at that point. I’ve created tons of websites on my own, and have graphics guys to help create squeeze pages; I now know how CPA works. I just have to do it! The only think holding me back is a bloody $900 balance left from a co-worker on my Google account; I’ll have to take care of that first before creating any new campaigns. My only other choice would be Yahoo overture, which is weak, compared to Google. I might just try Yahoo first, and then when things are doing well, shift to Google. That might be a better idea. If a bloody 14 year old kid can do CPA making thousands every month, I can certainly do it!

It’s on my to-do list anyways.


Using Putty To Import A Database

Posted on by Donald in Database, How-To 7 Comments

Do you have a database too big to import using phpMyAdmin? Well if you have root access, you can use Putty to import a database for you. If you’ve never used Putty before it could be daunting task the first time, I know it was for me. But after learning the basics and one of the most import features, its cake now!

Using putty ~

One trick that basically got me started was being able to copy and paste! It’s actually fairly easy, but not obvious. Simply copy the text your want to use from any location, and right click into putty to paste. Note: When pasting a password your password won’t show up after right-clicking. It’s there, but you can’t see it.

So to paste into Putty, simply right click your copied text in the window and that’s it.

Once you’re logged into your server using Putty. Ask your server admin if you’re having trouble doing this, its cake to import your database.

First you’ll need to make sure the database you want imported is uploaded to your website directory. Using any of your favorite FTP programs, upload the SQL file now. This would be your database backup file.

puttyOnce your SQL file is uploaded, your need to change your Putty directory to the location where you file is located.

To change your directory in Putty, use the cd command followed by the directory you want to change to. For me the command would be:

cd /var/www/vhosts/aspkin.com/httpdocs

This takes me to aspkin.com httpdocs directory where my SQL file would be located.

Your command would be similar to this depending on your server. Ask your server admin for path information to your httpdocs directory if you need it. If your SQL file is located here, you’re half way done!

Using the dir command, you can see what files you have in your directory. Try it now.

dir

If you see your SQL file, that’s good. If not, change your directory to find your file.

Once you’ve found your file use this command to import your SQL file to your database.

mysql -u dbusername -p databasename < backupname.sql

Make sure to change dbusername, databasename, and backupname.sql to your data.

Once you use this command, you’ll be prompted for your database password. Enter that and your database will be imported!

Congrats!

P.S. Using phpMyAdmin you can check to see that all tables have been imported and you’re good to go.


NY Doc finds way to get Google ads free!!

Posted on by Donald in Recommends, SEO Leave a comment

This may come as a SHOCK to you, but after all these years with Google selling pay-per-click advertising, a New York medical doctor comes forward and admits that he’s never paid for any of his now more than $87million in otherwise paid-for advertising.

In fact last year alone he got over $26.7 million in pay-per-clicks free at all the TOP search engines like Google, Yahoo, Overture, etc.

Shortly after the Net’s release of pay-per-clicks and other paid-for search engine advertising, the New Englander spotted a very simple way to eliminate ALL of his otherwise paid-for advertising expenses at search engines.

But he didn’t bother to tell a single soul!

In fact, he sat back, started a total of 16 separate web businesses, and applied his secret he maintained for all these years. The result: He’s sold over $300 million worth of products in nearly 8 years and hasn’t spent a single dime on pay-per-clicks or any other form of paid-for ads at any search engine — EVER!

In the past 2 years alone he’s really pressed his secret to the limit as he’s just now spotted several webmasters catching on to “his secret,” and wanting to exhaust it to its maximum output before too many people find out what he and maybe a year others know.

In these most recent 2 years he’s therefore made over $166 million in personal income as a result of this hard-pressing drive to make the most of this secret while he still can.

But just 2 months ago he announced the most shocking thing of all: the release of his new ebook that reveals exactly how he’s been getting free pay-per-clicks at Google and every other search engine that allows paid-for advertising.

free google ad largeHe finally figured that whether the entire world knows his secret it won’t cause him to lose his fortune, nor will so many people start doing it that it will threaten his own 16 or so niche-empires.

The BEST part of his secret is that it’s nothing illegal, and it doesn’t steal money from the search engines.

In fact, the search engines continue to operate smoothly and actually are far better off with people applying his secret (you have to see it to understand exactly what I mean by this — but believe me, I’m not kidding!)

Today I’m using his secret for myself because I’m no dummy!

I recognize a great thing when I see one — and THIS SECRET is definitely the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

We all know that Google went public a few years back, and ever since they did we’ve seen nothing but higher and higher, and more and more competitiveness when it comes to their pay-per-clicks.

Many web businesses have literally either refused to pay for them as they claim they are just too expensive, or they are forced to search elsewhere for alternative paid advertising online.

Even affiliates have been affected (perhaps the most!) as what once used to be the “easy days” of just enrolling into someone’s affiliate program and then set up a Google ad and just make money on autopilot, has now become more and more difficult to maintain.

But with this gentleman’s NEW secret system to getting pay-per-clicks and other paid-for targeted search engine advertising for free, now webmasters, promoters and affiliates alike are now back on track to once again make the Web pay them huge incomes — even overnight riches can now successfully be realized, even reminiscent of the dot-com explosion days of the mid-90’s!

If you want the good doctor’s secret, then all you need to do is grab your own PDF copy here:

http://www.webmasterjungle.com/go/freegoogle.php

But I have to warn you that this fellow is a bit of an “unpredictable” type as he announced in a press release in both Washington, DC and New York simultaneously last Monday that he would deliberately withdraw his ebook from publication at some point with absolutely NO warning whatsoever.

So if you’re wise, and want to grab his secret before he whisks it back off the market possibly forever, then you’d best do what I did and go secure it now at:

http://www.webmasterjungle.com/go/freegoogle.php

How many times since the commercial release of the Worldwide-Web have you seen sudden “breakthroughs” of great fortune-making potential come and go where just a few people were in the right place at the right time to be able to take advantage of them? — You’re right … very, very few.

Version 2 is great! This stands high above the original stand alone version and does as good if not better as the online pro version does. Thanks Jonathan for another great piece of software that’s usable and affordable for the “average Joe”.

I’ve already started truning out some more stuff for the blog, and I love how I can sound like an expert about things I may only know a little about.

Todd
========
Good tool, great service. Thanks Jonathan.

Jamesh
========
In one word…Wow!

I must be one of the pickiest software buyer out there and this software rocks!

I’ve bought it and it literally took minutes to create a short article. There was absolutely no learning curve and this is especially important if you have not bought the previous version. I’m confident that IAW 2.0 will become one of my frequently used tools.

Great job, Jon!

Tom Chuong
========
This new version is a great improvement. Much faster and therefore much better for rapid creation of articles.

What I like about IAW is that it doesn’t take initiative or creativity away from the user. It just saves an enormous amount of time.

Worth its weight in gold – especially at the current ?/$ conversion rate. 🙂

Hi Jonathan,

SSSSSShhhhhhhhhhhh. Don’t tell anyone about this. Oooops… too late.

It only took about two minutes of the overview for me to be ready to hit the “Buy” button. Anyone who writes articles would be crazy to not check out Instant Article Wizard. At this price it is an absolute nobrainer.

If it were possible to make article writing any easier, someone else would have to write them for you… and do it for free. This is going to be one welcome addition to my arsenal of tools.

Thanks.

I got IAW 1.0 few months ago,it was sitting in my hard drive because I thought that trying other tools (spinners) will save me time.

I was wrong,all the “stuff” that the spinners created was barely readable!.

I started using IAW,and my articles are of a very good quality. Ready to send to any place that I want.

Now with IAW 2.0 ,faster and easier,thanks Jonathan…

Instant Article Wizard 2.0 Rocks!!!

In a couple of words,… Thank You!

This Software is amazing…. If you have been writing articles and submitting them to article directories, or selling them and getting profits, chances are that your room is plenty of reading material. Your computer full of websites, eBooks, or any sort of information gathered in many ways.

Well, the days of huge piles of books bought with the hope of getting some information from them to write your articles is over.

Jonathan’s software brings all relevant information to write your article in minutes. It gets you started right away and you could have a complete article in a record time. (less than 10 minutes) And what is more valuable is that this excellent tool (Instant Article Wizard 2.0) helps you to write about subjects you know nothing about.

Some people are against this concept claiming that it is not a responsible writer who would write as an expert about subjects he has no experience about. I say to these people, when you are studying and you get an assignment about a subject you know nothing about, how do you tackle the task?

Of course, by doing research and putting in your own words what you learned. Now, somehow, you are an expert on what you wrote.

You can think on IAW 2.0, as a restless, efficient assistant who will give every information you require. And even more important, with sentences correctly structured for the web.

Introduction, body paragraphs based on keywords(subtopics) and conclusion. And it counts the words as you go. Its easy to plan writing about 300 words and end with 1500 without even notice it.

Now you will have extra time to do whatever you want to. You can start low writing only 5 articles a day that would take you about 3 hours with editing and all and the rest of the time, you can spend it with your family and friends.

Ask me about it if you have any doubt about it.

Jonathan Leger is on my credit cards A list. 😉

Whenever he releases a new product, I usually purchase first and see what it does later. I don’t suggest this type of method to buy your products but I’m just making a point that his software and script creations are that good.

IAW version 2 is no exception…

I’ve been using the original version since it went on sale and it sits in my “daily tools” folder on my desktop.

I have also made some great money as an affiliate of Jonathans products, which is a great plus.

One of the main reasons I purchase from him is because he is a software developer and anytime you have questions or want to suggest some new features for his products, he is right back at you with an email to respond to your concerns.

Do yourself a favor and pick up this nifty tool while its at this giveaway price.

Thanks Jon and keep the great products coming. 😉

Take care,

Hello Jonathan,

This thing rocks. PERIOD! If people don’t realize what they can do in a matter of minutes with this tool then they just don’t get it. Bottome line it is UNIQUE content that is kicking right now and what is being required of the S.E.’s to gain that advantage.

Sure you can take PLR content and modify it a bit so that it is “unique” but it is not the same as having an ENTIRE article that is unique. Content spinners, although there are some better than others, can only do what you tell them to do or define for them to spin and USUALLY it is on a word by word or phrase by phrase basis and IMHO their intelligence just isn’t their yet.

YOUR tool pulls in ENTIRE sentences from various resources and allows me to put something together VERY unique and very readable that makes sense. It SERIOUSLY levels the playing field when it comes to writing unique content making me an expert in any field practically.

Can you say expert verbiage?

This thing is powerful and even though a content spinner can whip out articles by the hundreds AFTER you set it up defining all the words/phrases you want spun they are not going to be AS unique as if the ENTIRE article was put together from scratch. Plus they don’t always make sense.

The chances of two people building the same article with your tool is practically impossible because of the combinations one can choose from AND the unlimited ability to add more and more research terms to the tool adding more UNIQUE content to the mix!

I can go on and on about this tool but seriously it boils down to the end user. Either they are going spin their content, outsource their content or create their own unique content because IMHO that is more powerful. IF you create your own then this is the tool you need.

Even if you outsource it to an article writer who is part of your staff then you want them to have this tool because it will make their job easier AND they can produce UNIQUE articles faster. If you outsource your articles at five bucks a pop then add up what you’d pay for ten articles ($5 x 10 = $50) and you can afford this tool which will allow you ro
produce UNLIMITED UNIQUE articles within minutes.

I am seriously loving this tool as you can see and NO Jonathan did not pay me for this post although he should!

Bottomline is my unique articles will outrank your modified PLR articles anytime. It takes me less me roughly 5 to 6 minutes to produce one unique article so in an hour I can produce about 10 to 12 articles. I usually spend about one hour doing that and then have my assistant take over and create more.

This thing is too easy.

😉

Jon’s Instant Article Wizard

Posted on by Donald in Article Writing, Recommends, SEO Leave a comment

I think you probably know that article writing is an outstanding way to generate traffic to your site, both from article directories and from the links the articles provide which help your search engine rankings.

I’ve done case studies in the past that demonstrated how easy it was to generate hundreds of unique visitors in just a couple of weeks by writing a few articles and submitting them to just 3 of the big article sites.

The problem with writing articles isn’t the actual writing — that’s the easy part — it’s the research. It takes a long time to research articles, especially if you’re not already familiar with the subject that you’re wanting to write about. Well, it USED to take a long time to do that research, but it doesn’t anymore!

jonThe reason why is a software package created by Jon Leger called Instant Article Wizard. This software does all of the research gathering for you – FAST. I can’t explain how powerful this software is as easily as I can SHOW you how powerful it is, so I’ve created two videos that you should watch showing it in action:

(If you’re familiar with the original IAW, you have GOT to see the new version–it blows the old one away!)

A basic overview of how the software works:

Biggest Keyword Elite Discount Ever…

Posted on by Donald in Recommends, SEO Leave a comment

This special has never previously been available to ANYONE else, nor will it ever be available to others in the future. So you’ll want to check this out now while it’s LIVE because it won’t ever be available to you again… and it’s only around for 3 days. After
that, it’s gone…

Here’s the link:

==> Keyword Elite

Just to give you a quick recap on how I came about to get this insane deal for you, here’s how it went down…

Basically, last week, I spent practically all of my own time helping Brad (my brother) by being one of his intensive beta testers for a new software project, and basically trying to “break his software”. So during this intense testing for him, I didn’t have any time at all to do of my own marketing, work on my own projects, or provide any extra time to help my members and subscribers.

So on Wednesday, after finishing up with helping Brad, he said to me: “Thanks man, I Owe You.”

And like any good younger brother would do, I was going to take that literally, and make sure I took full advantage of his comment: “I Owe You”. 😉

keyword eliteAfter thinking about what I could have him do “for me”, I thought that maybe he could do something for both me AND my members. So that’s where you come in!

To make a long story short, after negotiating with Brad over the weekend, and trying to talk him down, I was able to coax him into giving me… and only me, a discount for his Keyword Elite software that I can PASS on to YOU!

And better yet, this is the biggest discount he’s ever offered on Keyword Elite. He hasn’t even offered this to his own list before… EVER.

Brad has agreed to live up to his “I Owe You” comment. But this special sale will only be available for 3 days.

==> Keyword Elite

The discount is LIVE now, so you’ll be able to see just how incredible the discount is. I personally use Keyword Elite EVERY single day. And not just because it’s my brother’s software… because it works and has produced amazing results for me.

==> Keyword Elite

I hope you enjoy this one and take full advantage of it now because this sale is not available ANYWHERE else online – nor will it ever be available in the future. In fact, it’s only available for 3 days.

This is one of those times when making a decision and taking action immediately will turn out to be a huge advantage for you in the future.

Enjoy! 🙂

ps While you’re at Keyword Elite be sureto watch the videos near the top of the page… They show some pretty powerful stuff.


Directory Submitter from Brad Callen

Download your free directory submitter form Brad Callen (SEO Elite, Keyword Elite, etc.)

Here are the details:

As you probably know already, Google is constantly changing the way they rank websites. These days, it is absolutely critical to get high quality, 1-way links to your website.

Reciprocal linking just isn’t anywhere near as effective as it once was. The problem that I, and most people are running into is it’s HARD to figure out how to get 1 way links… let alone high quality ones!

One of the absolute best, and even better… “easiest” ways to get these quality, one way links is by submitting your website to website directories. By doing so, you can not only get one way links, pretty much instantly, but you can control the anchor text used in your link.

directory submitterBasically, this means that you can completely control which keywords you want to rank highly for! Up until now, there was still a problem, and that was…

1. Finding the website directories you can submit your site to AND

2. Once you find those directories, it takes quite a bit of time to actually fill in all of your website details, and submit your website to them…

But, guess what? I’ve come across a brand new program created by Brad Callen and the Bryxen Software team, called “Directory Submitter“. It allows you to quickly submit your website to thousands of website directories with a few mouse clicks! No kidding…

I’ve been using it and it’s saved me literally hours of time in both submitting AND in finding these directories.

Here’s the link to check out the software:

But, please keep this to yourself, as I’d like to keep this our secret weapon 🙂


Google’s pay-per-clicks now free

Posted on by Donald in SEO Leave a comment

In what is perhaps the most shocking announcement made in some time regarding the vast world of the Internet, a New York doctor has just released a very private “secret” he’s been using since the earliest days of targeted paid advertising at search engines.

He admitted without hesitation that he’s gotten over $87 million in pay-per-click advertising over the last nearly 8 years at such search engines as Google, Overture, MSN, Yahoo and others, and resulting in his having amassed a $300 million fortune!

In the past 2 years alone he’s netted over $166 million as a result of what he calls a very simple “oversight” promoters online have altogether missed.

So valuable this “oversight” has proven that he’s finally decided to share it with the rest of us.

And his timing couldn’t be better!…

– Since going public Google’s ads haven’t become any cheaper!

– Other paid-for search engine advertising at large is rising faster than inflation can keep up!

“Back in the day” even an affiliate could just go to some website, sign up free to sell some product (such as with Amazon stores or the vast ebooks at ClickBank) and then just place a small 4-line pay-per-click ad, fine tune it, and then sit back and make money on autopilot.

But with rising costs this is getting much, much harder, and has literally seen the demise of many, many affiliate businesses go completely under.

But now with the release of this New Englander’s super-secret, webmasters, promoters, both big and small business owners, as well as affiliates with shoestring budgets are back in the game!

free googleadsWhen asked why he kept this “oversight” secret, the New Yorker responded “I knew I had a good thing, quite possibly a monopoly over any market I cared to try … I made a success of 16 web businesses in less than a decade … do you honestly blame me? …”

But now he’s decided to share his know-how as he knows that doing so doesn’t take a single dollar away from his $300 million fortune, and it won’t cause widespread usage to the degree that it will even put a dent in search engine activity.

To be sure the good doctor had the sense to consult several Internet experts and “macroeconomists” just to be on the safe side.

Additionally, you should know that nothing about his secret either robs search engines (so you don’t have to fear Google coming after you!) or is anything about it illegal in any other way.

What you may even find strangely surprising about his secret is the fact that it actually “helps” search engines make even more money! (You’ll have to see it for yourself to understand how this is actually possible!)

So if you think you’re smarter than most people, then here’s your chance to prove it to everybody else! Just grab the good doctor’s secret for yourself here:

Google’s pay-per-clicks now free

But I feel it only fair to warn you that this doctor fellow from New England is a tad eccentric and self-admittedly “moody” and he’s threatened to withdraw this secret at some point soon without so much as a single day’s notice … (Northerners!)

So if I were you, I’d not take any chances because although he may keep it available for the next 2 months, he may also take it off the market just 2 days from now (and then you’ll kick yourself saying “Dad-gummit! I knew I should have grabbed that when I had the chance!” … so don’t let this happen).

Also keep this in mind…

How many times since the commercial release of the Worldwide-Web have you seen sudden “breakthroughs” of great fortune-making potential come and go where just a few people were in the right place at the right time to be able to take advantage of them? — You’re right … very, very few.

So don’t overlook this find as it may very well prove to be one of the most influential and important ones you’ve ever received…

After having problems with the initial VPS I ordered, I finally got things settled and everything seems to be working with a test site I moved. So hopefully after today or tomorrow I’ll have aspkin.com moved to the faster host to keep up with its resource demands. And by the way, it’s being hosted at powervps.com which I highly recommend! After my long search for a powerful affordable VPS that can handle all my websites, PowerVPS came to the rescue!


Need To Redirect Old WordPress Post Using htaccess?

Posted on by Donald in SEO Leave a comment

I had to do this recently to one of my blog sites. Simply add this to your .htaccess file for every post your want redireceted. Easy stuff.

redirect 301 /2006/12/18/postname/ http://www.example.com/category/postname/

Here the old post URL,
http://www.example.com/2006/12/18/postname/

will be redirected to new URL,
http://www.example.com/category/postname/

Note that in the definition, first part is the old URL without domain name and the second part is complete new URL. Keep whole definition in one line (Don’t include line brakes using Enter button). Also note where to apply spaces (There is a space between old URL and new URL).

Easy stuff I know, but this text file was taking up space on my desktop and I needed to get rid of it. Why not add it to the blog for me and you later and trash the text file. Cheers!
