			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I have been testing a wordpress plugin called WP Smart Tools. It&#8217;s a plugin that will help people to create landing pages. </p>
<p>So, first of all, it&#8217;s tools for people involved in affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>I have tested it to create dynamic dates, geotargeted locations, cloaked links, footer ads and exit popups.</p>
<p>My first thought when I looked at the configuration, was that this seems to be everything an affiliate might need, and then some. There are so many possibilities for tweaking wordpress and making it a very powerful system for affiliates in this system, I was actually overwhelmed by all the features.</p>
<p><strong>The installation process</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://marketingflop.com/wpsmarttools">WP Smart Tools</a> was as easy to install as any wordpress plugin. Just upload and click activate. Then, I had to add my licence, that was all. It worked the very moment I activated it.</p>
<p><strong>The tools</strong></p>
<p>There are so many of them, it will be hard to list them all. I&#8217;ll list the ones I have tested and the ones I know about.</p>
<p><strong>Dynamic dates.</strong> By a single click, you can add dates inside your blog posts. You can add relative dates throughout your posts, for instance, you can add the date when your visitor reads your post or you can add the date two days after she reads the post. This can be used for special offers, for instance, where you tell the the reader to do something before a certain date.</p>
<p><img src="http://marketingflop.com/images/dynamic-dates-wpsmarttools.jpg"></p>
<p><strong>Geotargeted locations.</strong> You can add the readers location, even a small town, to your blog post. For instance, you can tell the reader that, I know you&#8217;re in Warren New Jersey, but still, you need this product. Or whatever message you can think of that will help promote your product related to the visitors location. </p>
<p><strong>Exit popups.</strong> I know you&#8217;ve seen this around. When your visitor leaves your website, she&#8217;ll get a popup with a message. The message is usually a discount or special deal. If she clicks on cancel, she&#8217;ll be redirected to the offer, if she clicks ok, she&#8217;ll be taked away to the original destination.</p>
<p><strong>Location-specific content.</strong> You can add content that will only show to people in certain locations. You could apply to certain countries or certain cities. This could be information that you believe will be a lot of help to convert visitors into buyers from this specific location.</p>
<p><strong>Date-specific content.</strong> You could also apply content that will only be shown on specific dates, or betwwen, before or after certain dates. This would be really helpful if you apply coupon codes for discounts.</p>
<p><strong>Protect landing pages.</strong> With a few clicks you can protect your landing pages from theft. I don&#8217;t understand how this works, but it&#8217;s really easy to implement. And according to the sales page, you might even get extra traffic from protecting your landing pages.</p>
<p><strong>Integration with Google maps.</strong> you can show Google maps in a post or on your page, just enter the address or coordinates and you&#8217;re done. This is awesome if you&#8217;re writing about something local or specific to an address.</p>
<p><strong>YouTube integration.</strong> It&#8217;s not that difficult to integrate YouTube videos, althouth with WP Smart Tools it&#8217;s even easier. Just enter the url, and that&#8217;s all, no need for any coding.</p>
<p><strong>Personal introduction.</strong> You can add a widget in the sidebar with a personal introduction to your website.</p>
<p><strong>Display pressure countdown.</strong> Many of the most successful landing pages have this included. When you add a countdown, you add scarcity, and the reader will have to decide before the countdown reaches zero. A really powerful tool.</p>
<p><strong>Insert payment badges.</strong> You can add images of the most common payment methods in the sidebar. For instance, you can add paypal, visa and master card to your sidebar. This way, your visitors will understand how they can pay for your product.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate link cloaking.</strong> This is important. Instead of long and ugly affiliate links, you can make them short and beautiful in no time. You can also replace keywords with links, for instance, you could do this; every time you write WordPress in a post or on any of your pages, it will automatically be added a link to the keyword. This way, you can have hundreds of affiliate links throughout your website.</p>
<p><strong>Your wordpress theme.</strong> As I wrote earlier, it was easy to install WP Smart Tools. It was also very interesting to see that it&#8217;s compatible with any wordpress theme. So, I didn&#8217;t have to do any adjustments at all. It was working as soon as I installed it.</p>
<p><strong>Four awesome themes.</strong> If you don&#8217;t have a theme that you&#8217;re satisfied with, or you are just now launching your blog, then listen to this. WP Smart Tools comes with four awesome themes. </p>
<p><strong>The price.</strong> At first, I thought $117 was a little high for a wordpress plugin. But after testing and looking at how powerful this plugin really is, I have come to the conclusion that the price is more than ok. </p>
<p>WP Smart Tools is many plugins, not only one. And it turns your blog into a powerful sales team instead of a regular blog. </p>
<p><strong>Guarantee.</strong> <a href="http://marketingflop.com/wpsmarttools">WP Smart Tools</a> comes with a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee, free lifetime updates and lifetime technical support. Wow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, creating professional looking reviews are just a few clicks away. With My Review Plugin, even if you lack all the technical skills, you can create beautiful product reviews from your Wordpress blog within minutes.</p>
<p>A while ago, I tested <a href="http://marketingflop.com/2009/04/wpreviewengine/" title="WPReviewEngine">WPReveiwEngine</a>, and I was extremely satisfied. Actually, that&#8217;s the plugin I&#8217;m currently using at this blog.</p>
<p>But, then again, My Review Plugin wasn&#8217;t available.</p>
<p><strong>About this review</strong> </p>
<p>This review won&#8217;t be a comparison between the two, because it&#8217;s hard for me to distinguish all the features. Hence, write an acceptable review for both. And WPReviewEngine is out with version 4.0, a version I haven&#8217;t tested yet.</p>
<p>So, this review of <a href="http://marketingflop.com/myreviewplugin" title="My Review Plugin">My Review Plugin</a> is solely based upon the test I have done with this plugin alone.</p>
<p><strong>What My Review Plugin is all about</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a plugin for Wordpress. It will let you add several new features to your blog, features that will let you and your readers review products and services. Some of the features includes:</p>
<p>Create and use categories for your review. You add the categories you need, and as many as you need. </p>
<p>Create a system for your ratings. You can add the ratings you need. For instance, you can add 0 for the worst and 5 for the best.</p>
<p><img src="http://marketingflop.com/images/MyReviewPlugin_configuration.jpg" title="MyReviewPlugin configuration"></p>
<p>Use stars to create stunning visual ratings. You can customize the look of the stars. They could be yellow, red, blue or something different. </p>
<p>Let your visitors add reviews and stars to their comments. </p>
<p>Usually, Wordpress posts will be shown in chronological order. My Review Plugin lets you control this, and you can make your posts show in different orders, for instance, you can show the top ratings first. </p>
<p>To me, one very powerful feature is that you can have a blog with both reviews and regular posts. Many people, me included, like to create reviews in-between all the other blog posts, and not just have a blog with reviews. Now, this is not a problem. You can add reviews when you like to add them, and write regular posts when you want to.</p>
<p>If you like to, you can add comparison tables to your pages. For instance, you can add tables within any pages where your visitors can view a list of the top products within a category.</p>
<p>I always want feedback on my writing. An interesting feature is that at the bottom of every review, you can add the sentence &#8220;Was this review helpful for you?&#8221; Your visitors can add thumbs up or thumbs down on your reviews, just like on Amazon. This way, you can get feedback from your visitors regarding your reviews. Hopefully the information can help you write even better reviews.</p>
<p>If your reviews are of products that are localized on various places, you can integrate Google Maps. This way you can add geo data for your products and people will see them on a map where they are located.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t already have a theme, you get three good looking themes when you buy My Review Plugin. If you already have a theme, then you should know that you can automatically embed the reviews to your theme. I tested this, and it was a breeze. Just a few clicks and everything was showing in my current theme.</p>
<p><img src="http://marketingflop.com/images/MyReviewPlugin_ClickHereToVisit.jpg" title="MyReviewPlugin click here to visit"></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be able to use a widget in your sidebar. For instance, you can add the top rating posts or the most recent posts in your sidebar. This way, it&#8217;s easy for your visitors to navigate to other relevant reviews.</p>
<p><strong>The bonuses</strong></p>
<p>When you buy <a href="http://marketingflop.com/myreviewplugin" title="My Review Plugin">My Review Plugin</a>, at least for now, you&#8217;ll get access to three bonuses. I have not tested any of the bonuses, so this is just my description of what they&#8217;ll do for you.</p>
<p><u>Dr. Link</u> is a powerful plugin that lets you convert keywords to affiliate links. For instance, you can chose that specific words you have used throughout your blog should become links to your affiliate products. You can also cloak your links and create professional redirects.</p>
<p><img src="http://marketingflop.com/images/MyReviewPlugin_DoctorLink.jpg" title="MyReviewPlugin Dr. Link"></p>
<p><u>Import man</u> is a plugin that will let you import any database and turn it into a review site. So, if you already have a database or you decide to buy a database with relevant information, you can turn it into a review site with just a few clicks.</p>
<p><u>Little comment man</u> is a plugin that will let you create comments on your review. Within a few minutes you can create thousands of unique comments. Actually, I don&#8217;t like this plugin. I think that all comments should be from real people, telling their honest opinion. The comments shouldn&#8217;t be based upon my (or the authors) opinion. </p>
<p>Anyway. Even though I&#8217;m sceptical to using this plugin, I admit that the little comment man plugin is very powerful indeed.</p>
<p><strong>The installation</strong></p>
<p>The installation was fast and easy. It was just like installing any other plugin for Wordpress. You&#8217;ll get all the information you need in order to install the plugins.</p>
<p><strong>No technical skills needed</strong></p>
<p>The setup was almost as easy as the installation. There are many ways to customize the plugins, hence, you can spend a few extra minutes on this if you&#8217;d like. If not, you can use the default values and be finished fast and with just a few clicks.</p>
<p><strong>The price</strong></p>
<p>My Review Plugin is not cheap. It cost $90 for a single licence. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s overpriced at all, because it&#8217;s probably the most powerful plugin I have ever used. If you use it right, it should be no problem to earn a profit within days.</p>
<p><strong>Guarantee</strong></p>
<p>When you buy this plugin you&#8217;ll get 45-days money back guarantee. This is an unconditional guarantee, which means that you can have any reason for a refund and you&#8217;ll get it if you contact them within 45 days. Even if you decide that this plugin is not for you, and you don&#8217;t have any other reason other than you don&#8217;t want to use it anymore and you want your money back, you&#8217;ll get it. No questions asked, all within 48 hours.</p>
<p><strong>Free Lifetime Technical Support</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get free technical support for life for My Review Plugin. To me, this is worth a lot more than the money back guarantee. If you ever get any problems in the future, you can contact support and they&#8217;ll help you. That&#8217;s worth a lot of money for people, like me, with no technical skills.</p>
<p>As you can see from my ratings, I really recommend My Review Plugin. Take a <a href="http://marketingflop.com/myreviewplugin" title="look at the video of My Review Plugin">look at the video</a> on the sales page, then, you&#8217;ll understand how all the powerful features works and how easy it is to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As an affiliate, Clickbank is a great marketplace to find information products or systems, and software to promote. There are thousands of products to chose from, and there are hundreds of new ones being launched every single week. As a Clickbank affiliate, you&#8217;ll earn 25% to 75% commission selling the products. The top affiliates are earning a lot, I&#8217;ve heard millions of dollars, but I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p><strong>Finding products to promote</strong></p>
<p>You might have to spend some time finding the right products to promote. When you are looking for the perfect products, you should be looking at the gravita numbers, they tell you how popular the products are and how easy they are to sell. </p>
<p>As a member of Clickbank Pirate you don&#8217;t have to keep looking, they pick the products for you; one new product each month. The product is a top seller in the Internet marketing niche.</p>
<p><strong>Squeeze Page</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to use a landing page or a squeeze page when you promote any product online. You want the sales message to be to the point, easy to understand, and you want it to be professional. With a squeeze page, you&#8217;ll get the email address of prospective buyers, hence you&#8217;ll be able to follow up. That&#8217;s part of your sales process.</p>
<p>Clickbank Pirate comes with a professional squeeze page each month, which includes a video. They convert really well. Here&#8217;s a list of the squeeze pages I&#8217;ve received so far:</p>
<p><a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/phantom1/jens">Phantom Link Cloaker 2.0</a><br />
<a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/freeplr/jens">PLR Wholesaler</a><br />
<a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/ets/jens">Easy Traffic Steps</a><br />
<a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/gmb/jens">Get More Buyers</a><br />
<a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/doe/jens">Directory of Ezines</a><br />
<a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/memberfire/jens">Memberfire Membership Site System</a></p>
<p><strong>Follow up</strong></p>
<p>Usually, you need to add your own autoresponder, and write your own email messages to follow up prospects. Clickbank Pirate comes with many email messages, and the system will follow up everything for you. It&#8217;s completely automated, and the emails they send are written by professional copywriters.</p>
<p><strong>How you earn commission</strong></p>
<p>All you need to do at Clickbank Pirate is to drive traffic to the squeeze page, everything else is automated. People that leave their email address, will receive many emails about the system you&#8217;re promoting. All the emails will have your Clickbank id included. If they end up buying, you&#8217;ll earn the commission. Once in a while, they&#8217;ll send out other types of promotions as well&#8230; only regarding brand new and very interesting Internet marketing products from Clickbank. They&#8217;ll include your Clickbank id in every single email. </p>
<p><strong>100% automated</strong></p>
<p>The reason I joined Clickbank pirate is because the sales process is 100% automated. All you need to do is drive traffic to the squeeze page. Everything else is done for you.</p>
<p><strong>Should you join Clickbank Pirate?</strong></p>
<p>You might want to think about this for a few minutes. All you get are affiliate links to the squeeze pages, banners, prewritten emails that you can send to your list, and other ways to promote your squeeze page. You don&#8217;t have control of the process, and you won&#8217;t get your hands on the email addresses. Everything is located at the Clickbank Pirate server. If you are looking to build your own list and have control, then you should take a closer look at Ready Made Review Sites. If you don&#8217;t care about control, and you don&#8217;t want to do the technical stuff, then Clickbank Pirate is the answer.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Training</strong></p>
<p>Once you become a member, you get access to tons of traffic training tips. You also get access to many free membership sites when it comes to traffic generation. </p>
<p><strong>The price and the guarantee</strong></p>
<p>You have to pay $67 for the first month, and then $37 every single months after the first 30 days. That&#8217;s $37 for a new squeeze page and the built in follow up process.</p>
<p>Soren Jordansen and Cindy Battye, the creators and owners of Clickbank Pirate gives all members a 100% money back guarantee for 60 days. This means that you can use Clickbank Pirate for two months, and get a full refund without any questions asked.</p>
<p><strong>The Clickbank Treasury Map</strong></p>
<p>The easiest way to promote Clickbank Pirate is to give away a free report; <a href="http://cbpirate.com/s/cbp/jens">The Clickbank Treasury Map</a>. This report will tell people about the real power of the system, and they will also get tons of emails about why they should become members of Clickbank Pirate. Once again, the system does 100% of the work.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more information, take a closer look at <a href="http://marketingflop.com/cbpirate">the Clickbank Pirate sales page</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very satisfied with the system.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m using my laptop, MacBook everywhere, maybe except for the bathroom. I&#8217;m not just at a table, I&#8217;m more often in a chair, without a table, or on a sofa. Using the MacBook on my lap, without a desk has not been the best experience.</p>
<p>The reason is that it become fairly hot, it doesn&#8217;t burn, but it feels uncomfortable on my legs. And it just doesn&#8217;t feel right. </p>
<p>Therefore, a few days ago, I decided to boy iLap from Rain Design. iLap is a laptop stand that&#8217;s made of aluminium with sand-blasted and silver anodized finish, and it&#8217;s designed to match MacBook.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of how it looks on my desk.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.marketingflop.com/images/ilap1.jpg"></p>
<p>iLap keeps the computer cool, and it&#8217;s comfortable to work close to everywhere.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.marketingflop.com/images/ilap2.jpg"></p>
<p>The design is awesome, it matches the MacBook perfect. You can use it with any other computer as well, the only difference, I think, is that it matches the MacBook&#8217;s design.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.marketingflop.com/images/ilap3.jpg"></p>
<p>I bought iLap for my 13 inch MacBook, they also sell it for 15 inch and 17 inch MacBooks.</p>
<p>To me, iLap is perfect. It&#8217;s hard to imagine any other laptop desk being as perfect as iLap. The only drawback is the price, well, I should probably be more correct. The only drawback is the price in Norway, where I bought it.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.raindesigninc.com/ilap.html">Rain Design&#8217;s website</a> you can buy it for $49.90 (13 inch), I paid close to $120. That&#8217;s the price in Norway. I wanted it so badly while I was at the Apple store, and I would probably have to pay more than $100 anyway from Rain Design, when I inlcude shipping and customs. Hence, the price is the only drawback, everything else is perfect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have just spent many hours with <a href="http://marketingflop.com/trafficevolution" title="Traffic Evolution">Traffic Evolution</a>, the brand new system from Jonathan Mizel and Jayson Shawver. I&#8217;m really impressed. </p>
<p>Let me tell you why:</p>
<p>The first thing I got access to was seven quality videos:</p>
<p>Video 1: Secrets &#038; Benefits of Paid Media<br />
Video 2: Industry Terms And Conditions<br />
Video 3: Understanding Your Metrics<br />
Video 4: Creating High Traction Ads<br />
Video 5: Landing Pages &#038; Direct Linking<br />
Video 6: The System In Action<br />
Video 7: Top 10 Paid Ad Sources</p>
<p>After I finished watching them, it took me more than 2 hours, I download the Traffic Evolution handout. The handout is a pdf-file with all the most important information from the seven videos. It&#8217;s great to have it written down. It&#8217;s easy to access and find the resources. It&#8217;s like a detailed plan, a blueprint, about how to use paid media and the top 10 paid ad sources.</p>
<p>The third part of Traffic Evolution is 10 videos, where Jonathan Mizel guides us step by step through the paid media campaign creation and execution process.</p>
<p>Demo 1: CPV Ad Demo<br />
Demo 2: Banner Ad Secrets<br />
Demo 3: Banner Ad Demo<br />
Demo 4: Text Ad Demo<br />
Demo 5: AOL Quigo Text Add Demo<br />
Demo 6: Pulse 360 Contextual Ad Demo<br />
Demo 7: Ad Buyer Banner Ad Demo<br />
Demo 8: Ad Ready Banner Ad Demo<br />
Demo 9: Facebook Contextual Ad Demo<br />
Demo 10: Media Traffic Split Test Demo</p>
<p><strong>The Traffic Evolution bonuses.</strong></p>
<p>1. &#8220;Top Legitmate Ad Sources&#8221; spreadsheet.<br />
2. The Traffic Evolution members forum<br />
3. Interviews with some of the world&#8217;s top paid media experts</p>
<p>The interviews are detailed as well, and the information is overwhelming. I haven&#8217;t accessed the members forum yet, but I can imagine that it will be a lot of activity, where members can communicate about their experience using paid media.</p>
<p><strong>My experience with paid media.</strong></p>
<p>I have been using free traffic most of the time, but I have some experience with paid media.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using Pay Per Click (PPC) by Google AdWords and Yahoo!, and I bought a few links from Text Link Ads a few years ago. That&#8217;s it. No wait. I tested Facebook contextual ads a few years ago as well. My results have not been something to brag about.</p>
<p>Times are changing though. </p>
<p>The most powerful way to get targeted traffic today is by using paid media. And it doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive at all.</p>
<p><strong>How to use paid media</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://marketingflop.com/trafficevolution" title="Traffic Evolution">Traffic Evolution</a> is an awesome system that provides everything you need to know about paid media, and how to get targeted traffic to your website. The information is very detailed, from explaining PPC, CPC, CPV, CPM, to details about how to use landing pages, squeeze pages, direct linking, text and banner ads.</p>
<p>What really got my attention was all the <u>top paid media sites</u> I had never heard of, and of course, never used. Sites like:</p>
<p>- Media Traffic<br />
- Ad Ready<br />
- ArcaMax Publishing<br />
- Ad Marketplace<br />
- Ad Buyer<br />
- Pulse 360</p>
<p>&#8230; and many more.</p>
<p>The videos where Jonathan Mizel demonstrates how to use the top paid media sites are impressive.</p>
<p><a href="http://marketingflop.com/trafficevolution" title="Traffic Evolution">Traffic Evolution</a> is quite expensive at $197, but you get invaluable information, and there&#8217;s a 30 days 100% money back guarantee. So, if you don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s worth the money, just ask for a refund within 30 days. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for a blueprint, a detailed plan on how to earn money online, then you should take a closer look at <a href="http://marketingflop.com/mycashprinter" title="My Cash Printer">My Cash Printer</a>. </p>
<p>Let me tell you what My Cash Printer is, and what it&#8217;s not.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get:</p>
<p>- A detailed plan &#8211; money making program<br />
- Unlimited email support 24/7<br />
- Your own website<br />
- Personal coach</p>
<p>When you access the download page, you&#8217;ll get everything in 6 steps.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Set up your own ecommerce website<br />
<strong>Step 2</strong>: Download the system guide<br />
<strong>Step 3</strong>: Automated quick start guide<br />
<strong>Step 4</strong>: Automated online sales guide<br />
<strong>Step 5</strong>: VIP access to survey money daily<br />
<strong>Step 6</strong>: Automated AdWords wealth guide</p>
<p>To me, My Cash Printer is an interesting opportunity for people <u>new</u> to Internet marketing and people looking for a way to earn money online.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fairly cheap. By paying a one time fee of $49.95, you&#8217;ll get your own business, and a detailed plan about how to automate it, and how to earn money 24/7.</p>
<p>I believe that it works, but it&#8217;s not like you can set it up in five minutes, and everything is automated for you. Nothing is that simple, not even My Cash Printer. </p>
<p><a href="http://marketingflop.com/mycashprinter">My Cash Printer</a> is a system, an easy system fra a to z, about how to set up everything you need in order to be doing a business online.</p>
<p>The eBooks are all easy to read, the topics are well-known, and includes stuff like:</p>
<p>- Making money from blogs<br />
- Making money from affiliate marketing<br />
- Starting your own online business<br />
- Get paid to websites, surveys etc.<br />
- Write articles for money<br />
- Look for profitable websites and buy them<br />
- Learn the art of PPC (Pay Per Click)<br />
- Make money from YouTube<br />
- Owning a forum</p>
<p>&#8230; and more.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll learn how to find really profitable programs, how to write profitable ads and setting up automated campaigns. </p>
<p>As I have written earlier, <a href="http://marketingflop.com/mycashprinter" title="My Cash Printer">My Cash Printer</a> is step by step system on how to set up your own online business. What I find most interesting about the system is the mentoring and the personal coach. It&#8217;s quite possible to become successful by reading eBooks and blueprints, and set everything up yourself, but if you get a personal coach, the chances for success is a lot higher.</p>
<p>When you buy My Cash Printer, you&#8217;ll get a one time offer. It looked very interesting, but I passed. That&#8217;s mostly because I just wanted access to the blueprint.  </p>
<p>James Jordan, the creator of <a href="http://marketingflop.com/mycashprinter" title="My Cash Printer">My Cash Printer</a>, is offering a 56 day no questions asked, risk-free 100% money back guarantee. If you buy it, and you are not satisfied, you can request a refund, and there will be no questions asked.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I end up buying something I really regret buying, and this time it happened again. I can assure you that it&#8217;s not my first time, and it won&#8217;t be the last time. </p>
<p>Sometimes I buy a product, not based on reviews or referrals, but because I&#8217;m curious and want to test something new.</p>
<p>Let me tell you what happened.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about testing a new software or service for Twitter for a few weeks. I&#8217;m still using TweetAdder, and I still find it just as amazing as I did a few months ago. It works great.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve seen some ads for new autoresponders for Twitter. An autoresponder for Twitter is all about scheduling tweets and direct messages. I have to write all my tweets and messages, but with an autoresponder, the system sends the tweets and messages at a specific time and date. </p>
<p>I schedule my tweets with TweetAdder. Since TweetAdder is a software on my computer, I have to leave the computer on in order for it to send my tweets. Therefore, I wanted to test a service, where I didn&#8217;t have to leave my computer on in order to send my tweets. This service was Twt Autoresponder.</p>
<p>I ended up paying a one time fee of $17.</p>
<p>The first thing I noticed was that it was easy to add new tweets, but hard to understand what time they were going to be sent to Twitter. Since I live in Norway, I&#8217;m in a different time zone than people in the US. I had no clue about the time zone, so I decided to do some testing.</p>
<p>I added 10 tweets, all on different times and they were going to be published during three days (on a different Twitter account than my official one). Four days later, I discovered that none of my tweets were published, even though it looked as everything was ok. </p>
<p>I did some more testing, and discovered that the only thing that was working was immediate tweets. The schedule didn&#8217;t work at all.</p>
<p>Now, I wanted to send support a few questions. If they didn&#8217;t answer them, or didn&#8217;t make Twt Autoresponder to work as the sales page says it will work, then, I&#8217;d want a refund.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t find contact information or support anywhere on the sales page or inside the members area. All I could find was that Twt Autoresponder is a division of Fireball Group of Companies. </p>
<p>I could probably find out who&#8217;s behind this, if I just did some digging. But at the moment, I just want to leave it alone. It was only $17</p>
<p>Twt Autoresponder might be working now, but I don&#8217;t recommend it. I did my testing and that was it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been testing the brand new software from Mike Filsaime called TweetGlide. It&#8217;s a Twitter client for your PC, Mac, iPhone and iPod Touch. <a href="http://marketingflop.com/tweetglide" title="TweetGlide">TweetGlide</a> is completely free, packed with features, a really powerful marketing tool, and very profitable. </p>
<p>At first, it looks like an ordinary Twitter desktop client, but with a few really powerful features. By the way, the iPhone applications is not yet available. </p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s ordinary about TweetGlide?</strong></p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s a lot like TweetDeck, my favorite Twitter client. TweetGlide has panels, just like TweetDeck, only their called glides. In one panel, you&#8217;ll get your Twitter timeline, in another, you&#8217;ll get your replies, in another you&#8217;ll get your direct messages and so on. You can have as many panels as you&#8217;d like, even panels for your searches.</p>
<p><img src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tglides.jpg" alt="The glides at TweetGlide" title="The glides at TweetGlide" width="450" height="151" /></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get a very detailed and easy to navigate Twitter client, just like TweetDeck, but with extra features.</p>
<p><strong>Features of TweetGlide</strong></p>
<p>You get the short url service. It turns your long and ugly url into a short and nice looking one. It&#8217;s all done with a single click on your mouse. With the short url services integrated, you also get advanced tracking. This way you&#8217;ll see how many times people click on your links, and from which tweets they clicked on them.</p>
<p>You get Facebook integration. When you tweet, you&#8217;ll also post to your Facebook wall.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s now possible to tweet more than 140 characters. With almost any other Twitter client, you can only use 140 characters, because that&#8217;s default at Twitter. With TweetGlide you can use as many characters as you want. What happens is that the first 80 characters will be posted to Twitter, and following a message like this one: To read the rest of this post click here: http://domain.com/77a334 &#8211; when people click on the link, they&#8217;ll read the rest of your message at the TweetGlide blog.</p>
<p>Soon you&#8217;ll be able to use <a href="http://marketingflop.com/tweetglide" title="TweetGlide">TweetGlide</a> with multiple accounts.</p>
<p>You can see all your followers in your profile. Here you can also bulk follow or bulk unfollow, and many other features that will make it a lot less time consuming to use Twitter.</p>
<p>Since this is a product of Mike Filsaime, it&#8217;s a powerful Twitter client, mostly for people involved in Internet marketing. There are some really cool features that will help you promote your products or services and help you earn money.</p>
<p><strong>The Internet Marketing Features of TweetGlide</strong></p>
<p>There are three features that makes this software very interesting as an Internet marketing tool. </p>
<p>1. Integrated system for advertisers</p>
<p>Every time you tweet, you&#8217;ll get 0.2 credits. For every 5 tweets you earn 1 credit. There&#8217;s a built in spam protection system, so you can only earn 1 credit every 3 hours, no matter how many times you tweet. This means that, for every 5 tweets, your advertisement will be shown 1 time in the sponsored tweets to TweetGlide members.</p>
<p>2. Downline tweets</p>
<p>When you use <a href="http://marketingflop.com/tweetglide" title="TweetGlide">TweetGlide</a> you get credits on 5 levels, with an unlimited number on each level. This means that for every 5 tweet made by you or your members, you&#8217;ll earn 1 credit and your ad will be shown 1 time. This way, it should be really easy to earn a lot of credits.</p>
<p>3. Paid sponsored ads</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want to promote TweetGlide in order to earn credits, you can pay for your ads. When you pay for your ads, they&#8217;ll show up straight away.</p>
<p><strong>Final thoughts</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://marketingflop.com/tweetglide" title="TweetGlide">TweetGlide</a> is the most powerful Twitter client that I&#8217;ve tried. The marketing potential by using this software is incredible. It doesn&#8217;t matter what kind of products you&#8217;re selling or what type of service you&#8217;re offering. Twitter is one of the most powerful systems for marketers today, and when you combine it with TweetGlide, you&#8217;re in for a long and profitable experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been testing WP VideoTube, a YouTube plugin for Wordpress, for aproximately a week today. The plugin is all about publishing videos from YouTube to your wordpress blog. You can automate the process 100%, and the setup takes about 2 minutes, or you can semi-automate the process.</p>
<p>The first thing you do, is to enter your keyword. Depending on the version of WP VideoTube you buy, you can use 20, 50, or unlimited keywords.</p>
<p>Pick where you want the videos to be added from, based upon your keyword. It can be added either from all the videos, only the top rated videos, most viewed videos, recently featured, categories and videos, or from the profile at YouTube.</p>
<p>Now, enter how often it should find new videos. It can add new videos as often as every single hour, once a day, once a week, or whatever you want. The choices are many.</p>
<p>You can also import all the comments from the video at YouTube, it will look as the comments have been posted to your blog. </p>
<p>Finally, you can either publish the video directly to your blog, or you can add it as a draft (or pending review, private).</p>
<p>If you publish it directly to your blog, you don&#8217;t have to do anything other than set up the process. It takes about 2 minutes, and you&#8217;ll have a new video based upon your keywords whenever you want (according to your settings). </p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m using the semi-automated feature</strong></p>
<p>I am adding the videos as drafts. This way I have complete control of what I publish, and I can add some text as well.</p>
<p><strong>Free trial</strong></p>
<p>If you want to test <a href="http://marketingflop.com/videotube">WP VideoTube</a>, you can download a free trial. The only limit is that you can use 3 keywords instead of 20, and you get a footer link (powered by WP VideoTube).</p>
<p><strong>Guarantee</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get 30 days money back guarantee when you buy it. This means that you can use it for 30 days and get your money back if you don&#8217;t find it useful.</p>
<p><strong>My experience with WP VideoTube</strong></p>
<p>I think this plugin is awesome. It was fast and easy to install. I&#8217;ve been able to do everything I was hoping for with <a href="http://marketingflop.com/videotube">WP VideoTube</a>, and the new videos keep arriving without me doing or thinking about anythhing.</p>
<p>So far, I&#8217;ve added 6 keywords, and I get new videos added to my Wordpress blogs every single day. I only spend a few minutes to edit some text, before I publish them. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s powerful, and I really recommend that you buy it (or at least that you download the free trial).</p>
