U Comment I Follow – The Do Follow Movement

U Comment I Follow

U Comment I Follow

There has been a movement going around the blogosphere for sometime about the use of “No Follow” and “Do Follow” comment links.

WordPress by default is setup with a No Follow comment system.  Meaning you don’t get Google link love for commenting on blogs and linking back to your site.  I believe the reason for this was to cut back on comment spam. But by using anti-spam plugins and moderating comments,  spam can pretty much be avoided.

Due to the default No Follow settings in WordPress; Do Follow Directories and Do Follow Blog Search sites are becoming more and more popular. These sites are focused on finding Do Follow blogs that make it worth taking the time to comment.

I know I rarely feel compelled to leave a comment on a blog that isn’t do follow. But I’m very willing to comment on a blog that promotes do follow.

My Thoughts (for what its worth):

Disclaimer: *I am no SEO expert by any means, so don’t take this as gospel.*

If your visitors are good enough to come to your blog and take the time to comment; my view is let them have a little link love for their time.  Its not like my blog is a Page Rank 8 or anything anyway.

Every comment that a post gets is a good thing.  Who knows; Maybe the good outwieghts the bad.

Maybe  and I say maybe, Google thinks with all that commenting, your blog is the shiznit and will rank it higher than the stingy blog owner that doesn’t have any comments because he/she is scared of leaking a little link juice.

So to make a long story short: Make your Blog a “DO FOLLOW” by installing a plug-in like No Follow Free.  You could even take it one step further and add a CommentLuv to really spread some love to your visitors.

PPC Bully 2.0 – Do You Need It?


PPC Bully 2.0 Videos

You’ve probably noticed all the fuss behind PPC Bully 2.0 and the big launch going on.

Yes it look really amazing and you can see it in action at this website (Boy would I be mad if that was my account they uncovered!).

P.S. If you opt-in at the above website, you get a free report and access to the videos.

This software will be similar to PPC WebSpy, Google Cash Detective, SpyFu and the like.

They are all amazing tools, but I really don’t think too many newbie internet marketers can afford the price tags on the these programs.  Maybe PPC Bully 2.0 will come out with a price shocker that is more affordable.

I think the value the programs provide are incredible if you have the budget to pay the monthly fee, don’t get me wrong.  However, you can definitely do just fine on you own with a little research, time, and persistence.

I guess my view on it is this.

If you are just starting out and one a limited budget:

  1. Spend the time to research a niche.
  2. Find some affordable keywords.
  3. Once you find a couple profitable ventures, buy the tools.

Please don’t fall for the hype.  If you can’t afford these programs, wait until you can!

PPC  and affiliate marketing is a learning game, and you eventually will succeed.

All this being said, I would Opt-in to the website and get the PDF and Videos, as they are very enlightening.

You can get access to the video here and make up your own mind.

Bizzle Review – Commission Blueprint Monthly

Being an experienced PPC guy, I didn’t think Commission Blueprint would do anything for me except lighten my pocketbook.

I had heard all the reviews, but really didn’t think I needed any more help with PPC and affiliate marketing…

If you’ve been into internet marketing or affiliate marketing for any amount of time, I am sure you have heard of Commission Blueprint.  I have run across this product many times within the last few months and always had held off on buying the course.

Then I came across an email in my inbox promoting Commission Blueprints Monthly Membership site. What got me to take the leap was the new pricing $4.95 for a 7 day trial.

Instead of paying a big up front $100-200 ( I don’t remember the old pricing. $97 I think) I could get the whole video package and much more for FIVE BUCKS.

The new membership site renews at $67 a month if you don’t cancel within 7 days, but I don’t plan on canceling anytime soon.  The stuff they have added in the membership is incredible.

I knew the guys behind the blueprint products (niche blueprint and commission blueprint) are upright guys known to over deliver, but this really is an outstanding bargain. Their goal is to add and create enough tools so you don’t have to pay other memberships for things like tracking and link building.

What you get inside

  • Hours and Hours of Videos – Weeks Worth of Watching
  • A Ton of PDF/Ebook Walkthroughs
  • An Active Helpful Forum
  • 3 Way Link Building Service ($50-100 month service for free)
  • HippoJaw Tracking Service ($77 on its own)
  • Lead Capture Templates
  • Graphics
  • Fresh Content added Monthly

The latest content added is a Business-in-a-box internet consulting business.  They walk you step by step through setting up a potential 6 figure business all laid out in video.

Anyway, I don’t want to sound like anymore of a “fanboy” , but I think these guys are doing great things with their latest product.

Fine then don’t believe me, go spend you $5 bucks on a latte.  Or invest that $5 and someday own your own Starbucks.

Give the Google Wonder Wheel a Spin

If you haven’t heard yet, Google has released a few new features to their search screen.

My favorite of these being the forum and review search modifiers and wait here it comes…..The Google Wonder Wheel!

The new search options can be found by searching Google for a given keyword, and then selecting “Show Options” under the Google logo on the page.

So what does this do for you and me?  Very simply, it gives us yet another great tool to drill down deeper and deeper into a possible niche.

See the screen shot below. This is a search I ran for “lose weight” and dug into a bit.

As you can see, this is a great opportunity to come up with stuff you might have never thought of on your own.  Like for example what is eleotin tea and is there any way to make some money off it?

So to wrap it up -> Go waste some time with The Wonder Wheel and come up with your next source of income.

Thanks for the visit!

Happy Mother’s Day & Trend Spotting

So today is Mother’s Day and my 9 month old didn’t want to sleep past 6AM, so I decided to drop a quick post.

If your a Pay Per Click Newb, this should be helpful to your bottom line, Listen Up!

Google Trends can be used as a way to land some old school style .05 -.10 clicks with relative ease. These campaigns are rarely going to last long term, but are more of a hit it and quit it type moneymaker.

Here we go:

  1. First brain storm all events going on at the time of your campaign launch. For Example: Superbowl, NBA Playoffs, World Series, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Valentines Day, New Years Eve (think weight loss resolutions), etc.
  2. Now go to Google Trends and verify your brainstorming process. At the top of the page, type in your holiday/event and check out the time line graph. Separate different keywords by commas to compare traffic volume. Try these -> “Watch SuperBowl, Male Yeast Infection” remove the quotations of course. Male yeast infection is a known 30,000 searchers a month and really steady. It acts as a great baseline measure.  Notice the huge spike in traffic for Superbowl in Jan/Feb. and it is increasing every year.
  3. "Watch Superbowl vs. Male Yeast Infection"

    "Watch Superbowl vs. Male Yeast Infection"

  4. Now go do some research on your keywords. Check out the Google External Adwords Tool.  If there is always strong traffic with the occassional spike, good, but even if Google tells you there is no traffic for a given month, they are wrong (the estimate is coming from the month prior when there maybe wasn’t any traffic). We know what is about to come, so we get in front of the surge!
  5. Go find a related Clickbank or CPA offer and Monetize it.  As always, track and test that losing or break-even campaign until it is profitable and then…. SCALE IT TO THE MAX!!

And that’s about it. Using this method is a very effective way to fly-in under the radar and grab some cheap profitable clicks.  I have used this method many times to create a quick income stream.

Just remember, this is a “Hit it and Quit it” method that will dry in in a matter of weeks or months depending on your current event!

Now go make some MONEY!
