			<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>As I&#8217;m writing this, I&#8217;ve been a member of Special Report Club for two full months. I&#8217;ve received my two reports, the two giveaway reports, the articles, the blog posts and so on. So far, I&#8217;m really satisfied.</p>
<p><strong>The Quality of the Content</strong></p>
<p>The owner of Special Report Club is Melissa Ingold, and I have to tell you that the quality of the content is high, and the reports are awesome. So far, I&#8217;ve received reports about Twitter and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I&#8217;ve read them and I&#8217;ve used them, and the results have been great.</p>
<p>I think that this membership is a lot like the one from <a href="http://marketingflop.com/2009/10/all-private-label-content/">All Private Label Content</a>, but instead of receiving all the various articles and how to sheets about all sorts of topics, Special Report Club is about <u>one topic</u> each month. And the topic is always related to Internet Marketing.</p>
<p>In other words, you get one topic in the Internet Marketing niche, and you get all sorts of stuff related to it:</p>
<p>- One 30 page PLR report<br />
- One 10 page PLR give away report<br />
- A brandable version of both reports<br />
- A sales letter to sell the 30 page report from<br />
- A thank-you page<br />
- A squeeze page to collect subscribers<br />
- A confirmation page with upsell copy<br />
- A thank-you page with upsell copy<br />
- 5 follow-up emails for your autoresponder<br />
- One promotional email<br />
- Two professionally designed ecovers<br />
- Five 400-600 word PLR articles<br />
- Five 300 word PLR blog posts<br />
- List of affiliate program recommendations to the topic of the month</p>
<p>You can probably understand why I&#8217;m very satisfied with <a href="http://marketingflop.com/src">Special Report Club</a>. I think it&#8217;s an awesome deal at only $27 a month.</p>
<p><strong>Guarantee</strong></p>
<p>You get a 30 day money back guarantee. You can use it for 30 days, if you don&#8217;t like it, you&#8217;ll get all your money in return.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve tried many different services offering private label rights. To me, All Private Label Content is the one I am most satisfied with.</p>
<p>Alice Seba &#038; Mila Sidman, the owners, deliver really good content in a variety of topics every single month. The price is not bad either. For instance, I pay $24.97 a month for the All Marketing Content membership. </p>
<p><strong>Private Label Rights (PLR)</strong></p>
<p>This is content that you can modify to fit your needs. If you buy an article with PLR rights, you can rewrite the article, and you can put your name as the author. If you buy an ebook with PLR rights, you can either just add your name as the author, or you can turn it into articles, add new graphics, and a new sales letter, and earn money by selling it. In other words, you can do whatever you want with the content (but be sure to read the rights of the products before you do).</p>
<p>The reason I think PLR is awesome, is that you can use a lot less time in order to publish an awesome product. You don&#8217;t have to start out with nothing.</p>
<p><strong>The Topics</strong></p>
<p>At <a href="http://marketingflop.com/plr" title="all private label content">All Private Label Content</a> you can receive monthly content in the following topics:</p>
<p>- Marketing Content: business and marketing etc.<br />
- Mom Content: parenting, women&#8217;s interests etc.<br />
- Health Content: weight loss, general health etc.<br />
- Finance Content: money, budget etc.<br />
- Green Content: eco-friendly lifestyle</p>
<p>You can also buy article bundles, mini memberships, mini bundles, press release packs, recipe bundles, research bundles and more.</p>
<p><strong>The Quality</strong></p>
<p>The quality of the content is high. I really don&#8217;t need to do any spell checking, or any rewriting. The reason I do the rewriting is that I want my content to be 100% unique.</p>
<p><strong>The Membership</strong></p>
<p>As a member of All Marketing Content, I receive a lot of content every single month:</p>
<p>- 30 Monthly Articles<br />
- 10 Monthly Product Profiles<br />
- 10 Monthly &#8220;How to Sheets&#8221;<br />
- 1 Monthly 7-10 Page Report</p>
<p>I also receive suggestions about how to use the PLR content, and how to optimize it for search engines. There are also a list of related affiliate programs included. I can use the articles as blog posts and include the affiliate programs in order to earn money. </p>
<p>There&#8217;s a members-only forum, where all members can share information and ask questions.</p>
<p>A newly added software is the Speedy APL Publisher. I&#8217;ve never used it. If you want to turn the content into blog posts, it helps you to easily publish your PLR content to your WordPress blog.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for PLR, I really recommend <a href="http://marketingflop.com/plr" title="all private label content">All Private Label Content</a>. I&#8217;ve been a member for many months, and I&#8217;m still very satisfied with the content I receive every single month.</p>
<p><strong>Guarantee</strong></p>
<p>All their monthly memberships are backed by full 30-day satisfaction money-back guarantee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, I&#8217;ve got to tell you that my expectations when it comes to the brand new product from MaxBlogPress was really high. I&#8217;ve bought both of their other products, the <a title="Ninja Affiliate" href="http://marketingflop.com/ninja">Ninja Affiliate</a> and <a title="The $365K Blog Traffic Formula" href="http://marketingflop.com/2009/06/365k-blog-traffic-formula/">The $365K Blog Traffic Formula</a>. Since I thought both of them were awesome, I didn&#8217;t expect anything less from WordPress Wizard 2.0.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s WordPress Wizard 2.0?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s more than 50 video tutorials about how to blog using WordPress. It&#8217;s everything you need to get started. Everything from setting up your own blog, how to drive massive traffic to your blog and how to earn money from your blog. When I say everything, I actually mean everytyhing (at least everything I can think of).</p>
<p><strong>The tutorials</strong></p>
<p>As soon as I got access to the vault, I started watching the videos. I didn&#8217;t watch the first ones though (module 1 and 2), since they&#8217;re basic knowledge for someone who&#8217;s been blogging for a several years.</p>
<p>The videos are of high quality. It&#8217;s easy to watch everything they do, and it&#8217;s easy to hear what they say. You can watch them online, or you can download them to your computer.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-692" title="wordpress-wizard-20" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wordpress-wizard-20.jpg" alt="wordpress-wizard-20" width="440" height="343" /></p>
<p>Module 3 covers advanced WordPress tips, like how to upgrade your blog, how to set up and use windows live writer, and how to create backups.</p>
<p>When it comes to making money from your WordPress blog, that&#8217;s module 4, and it covers it in depth, at least when it comes to Google AdSense and ClickBank.</p>
<p>Module 5 is about search engine optimization (SEO) and link building. This is probably the module that I was hoping to be a little more detailed. The first video is awesome, because it explains everything about links. The problem is that the three next videos is only about one way to create your link campaign, and that&#8217;s using 3WayLinks. Hopefully, MaxBlogPress will be updating this module sometime soon.</p>
<p>Module 6 is about email marketing, and especially how to use RSS. They explain in details about how you should set up AWeber or GetResponse in order to drive traffic to your blog, and once you&#8217;ve set it up, it&#8217;s all done automatically.</p>
<p><strong>The future of WordPress Wizard 2.0</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll become a life time member if you join, this means that they&#8217;ll be updating the tutorials. It looks like they have some very interesting tutorials planned:</p>
<p>During September and October they&#8217;ll be adding an autoblogging series, and it will reveal:</p>
<p>- How to automatically submit your blog posts to social bookmarking sites<br />
- How to use 3-way links to get massive backlinks<br />
- How to use 1-way links to get links from other blogs</p>
<p>During October and  November, they&#8217;ll be adding tutorials about:</p>
<p>- How to Import Content from One WordPress Blog to Another<br />
- How to Import Content from Blogspot to WordPress<br />
- How to Install and Use WP Cache<br />
- How to Install and Use &#8220;All-in-One SEO Pack&#8221;<br />
- How to Install and Use &#8220;Google Sitemap Generator&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>My final thoughts</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://marketingflop.com/wpwizard">WordPress Wizard 2.0</a> is an awesome product. It&#8217;s one of the best products I&#8217;ve seen when it comes to learning how to blog, both for beginners, intermediate and professional bloggers. If you enjoy learning by watching videos, then you can&#8217;t go wrong with WordPress Wizard 2.0. The price is also a bargain. It&#8217;s a one time fee, compared to similar products like <a title="Blog Mastermind" href="http://marketingflop.com/2009/04/blog-mastermind/">Blog Mastermind</a> from Yaro Starak.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have created many landing pages and squeeze pages during the years, even though I&#8217;m not a web designer. I&#8217;ve hired several web designers to create the pages for me.</p>
<p>A landing page is crucial if you&#8217;re using Pay Per Click (PPC) and many other marketing techniques. The problem is that they&#8217;re hard to create, and fairly costly to hire a professional web designer to create them for you.</p>
<p>A few days ago, I discovered <a href="http://marketingflop.com/wplanding">WordPress Landing Page Templates</a>, 12 very interesting landing pages ready to be used.</p>
<p>WordPress blogs are awesome when it comes to search engines, it&#8217;s actually fairly hard not to receive traffic from them. I bet you couldn&#8217;t get 0 traffic to a wordpress blog even if you tried. Therefore, using a page at a WordPress blog for your landing page is very interesting.</p>
<p>When you use a WordPress blog for your landing pages, you can also use all the various plugins for wordpress. And it&#8217;s very easy to update the landing pages, you don&#8217;t have to use html. You can just write your landing page, like writing a regular post at your blog.</p>
<p><strong>My experience with WordPress Landing Page Templates</strong></p>
<p>I installed the template I wanted to use in a couple of minutes. It was really easy, I used ftp and it was close to impossible not to understand how to do it. The instructions were easy to follow.</p>
<p>I uploaded an image, started to write using headlines and bullet points. A few minutes later, I clicked on preview, and my landing page was ready. It looked really professional, even though it was the easiest and fastest landing page I&#8217;ve ever created.</p>
<p>My next test was creating a squeeze page. I did the same procedure and added an AWeber subscription form. It worked just as amazing as the first landing page.</p>
<p>I think that the $47 one time payment for the 12 landing pages is very cheap. If you want to hire a web designer to design one landing page, you&#8217;ll probably pay more than $150. With <a href="http://marketingflop.com/wplanding">WordPress Landing Page Templates</a>, you can use the landing page templates over and over again.</p>
<p>I give WordPress Landing Page Templates my highest recommendations.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> This is <a title="my first landing page" href="http://www.slymarketing.com/traffic-tactics/">my first landing page</a> using the template.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been testing Article Architect for a few weeks now. At first, I thought it was an awesome product, but now, I&#8217;m not quite as excited.</p>
<p><strong>What is article architect?</strong></p>
<p>To be brief. It&#8217;s a software to research, write, publish and organize your articles.</p>
<p><strong>What it&#8217;s not</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not a software to write and publish hundreds of articles to hundreds of directories in a matter of minutes. Some people write an article, then spin it (re-write the article by adding new words and phrases) into ten, twenty, thirty or more new articles. Article Architect is not like that, you&#8217;ll have to do everything manually.</p>
<p><strong>The real power of Article Architect</strong></p>
<p>I believe that organizing your articles, all the articles you&#8217;ve written, when you wrote them and where you submitted your articles, that&#8217;s the real power of Article Architect. You can add hundreds of directories, you can rewrite your articles (probably a little faster than if you didn&#8217;t use Article Architect), and you can even post your articles to your blogs. If you&#8217;re like me, a few days after you&#8217;ve written an article and published it, you forget what you&#8217;ve written and where you published it. With Article Architect you won&#8217;t forget, because it keeps track of everything.</p>
<p>I tried the research feature, but I didn&#8217;t like it. I think it&#8217;s easier to do all my research by using Google, and not inside Article Architect.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-612" title="article-architect-scrn" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/article-architect-scrn.jpg" alt="article-architect-scrn" width="440" height="281" /></p>
<p><strong>How to use Article Architect</strong></p>
<p>There are six &#8220;tools&#8221; in the menu. The first one is overview, this is what it says, an overview of the articles you&#8217;ve written and the articles you&#8217;ve submitted to directories. The problem with this is that you can&#8217;t see which directories that you&#8217;ve submitted your articles to. I can&#8217;t find this feature. The second tool is Articles. This is where you write your articles. The third tool is Research. This is where you research keywords to use in your articles. This is done by using the free WordTracker database. The fourth tool is Directories. This is where you add all the article directories. The fifth tool is Resources. This is more or less a bunch of ebook and articles you can buy (all are related to article marketing). The sixth tool is Snooper. This is where you find content, and do your final research.</p>
<p>It took me a long time to figure out how to publish the articles. I couldn&#8217;t find the publish button. I looked everywhere. I almost contacted support. It seemed that I spent hours looking, and guess what? I had to use the right mouse button.</p>
<p><strong>Should you buy Article Architect?</strong></p>
<p>It all depends on what you&#8217;re looking for. If you&#8217;re looking for an article spinner, this is not it. If you&#8217;re looking for a word processor, it&#8217;s not it. If you&#8217;re just looking for a way to keep track of all your articles and an easy way to publish them to article directories, then Article Architect might be the right choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Leger is the guy behind Instant Article Wizard. If you haven&#8217;t heard of this guy before, you should know that he is behind $7 Secrets, AdSense Gold, Translation Gold, Article Builder, Keyword Explosion and SEO Explosion. Well, he is one of the gurus in the world of Internet marketing.</p>
<p>Since Jonathan Leger is the creator of <a title="Instant Article Wizard" href="http://marketingflop.com/iaw">Instant Article Wizard</a>, I had really high expectations. And he&#8217;s probably the reason why I bought it in the first place.</p>
<p>Before I tell you exactly what I think of it, let me explain what it is.</p>
<p><strong>What it is</strong></p>
<p>Instant Article Wizard is a software (for Windows only) that will help you write articles. It&#8217;s not a software that will help you duplicate articles and create hundreds of articles from one article. It&#8217;s more like a software that will help you get rid of writers block and write the article for you.</p>
<p><strong>An example</strong></p>
<p>I bought it because I have a blog about Protein High Foods, when I created it, I had no problems writing about proteins, health, weight loss and add recipes each week. Now, I have too much other things going on, and I&#8217;m not as creative when it comes to Protein High Foods. So, with that in mind, I bought Instant Article Wizard.</p>
<p>If I want a general article about protein, I add the following in the keywords box: <strong>protein is</strong></p>
<p>This will search the Internet for thousands of resources and add the sentences which contains <em>protein is</em>. You can also build your article from the sentences you receive, the image below is from the introduction of the article.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-552" title="Example of Instant Article Wizard" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/protein-iaw-1.jpg" alt="Example of Instant Article Wizard" width="459" height="196" /></p>
<p>If I&#8217;d like to add some information about the effect protein has on cancer, I just pick the subtopic cancer, and I get a various of ready-made sentences which contains <strong> cancer</strong> and is related to protein. Just look at the image below to see some of the options.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-556" title="Instant Article Writer Example" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cancer-iaw-2.jpg" alt="Instant Article Writer Example" width="450" height="297" /></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s great</strong></p>
<p>You get a lot of more or less useful sentences when you do your research. Even though the sentences you get are written by someone else, you can build your article and then do your rewrite in the end. You can actually write an article about any topic, even though you don&#8217;t know hardly anything about the topic before using <a title="Instant Article Wizard" href="http://marketingflop.com/iaw">Instant Article Writer</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also fairly easy to set up your article with an introduction, some subtopics and your conclusion. In about 5 or 10 minutes, you&#8217;ll have an article about any topic.</p>
<p>The software can be used to write articles in six different languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. I&#8217;ve only been writing articles in English, but I could use Instant Article Writer to write articles in French even though I don&#8217;t know more than two French words.</p>
<p>The sentences you find using Instant Article Wizard is copied from other websites, but you also get the link to where the sentence appear. This way, you can check the context of the article where it appears. This makes it a lot easier to write your own article.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s not so great</strong></p>
<p>I find the software to be kind of boring. I&#8217;m not sure what it is, but it doesn&#8217;t appeal to me. I don&#8217;t like to use it that much, it might be the navigation with all the subtopics. What you usually get when you do your research is 50 subtopics, and the subtopics are usually just words and sometimes they are out of context. When I did research for protein, I got subtopics like august and email. When I click on August, I got this as one of the sentences: &#8220;Friday, August 14 Medicating with marijuana: A remedy or a risk.&#8221; On the other hand, I get the link to the website where this sentence appears, so I can go there and read the article. This way I get all the information I need.</p>
<p><strong>Final thoughts</strong></p>
<p><a title="Instant Article Wizard" href="http://marketingflop.com/iaw">Instant Article Wizard</a> is a powerful software, but I haven&#8217;t been using it that much. I like writing my own articles and blog posts, even though it takes me a little longer to do the research and the actual writing. I think that Instant Article Wizard is more a software for people that like to produce really fast results, other than quality articles. But that being said, producing fast articles is a really powerful marketing technique.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have just finished reading Git off the Porch! and embrace your destiny by Willie Crawford. I finished it in just a few hours, the book was very easy to read, and it was a great and inspiring story.</p>
<p>The book is first and foremost a book about the life of Willie Crawford, and that&#8217;s also the reason I bought it. Willie Crawford is a famous Internet marketer. He is earning a six figure income, and he has been doing that for years. The most interesting part about his success is that he and his family was very poor, once he even had to wear his grandmother&#8217;s shoes to school. He didn&#8217;t get trapped by the poverty mentality though, and the book is the story about how he ended up to be really successful.</p>
<p>There are especially two parts of the book that I really thought was excellent, and both parts provided me with something to think about. Willie Crawford writes in details about them.</p>
<p><strong>Know when it&#8217;s good enough</strong></p>
<p>I have a friend, he is a painter, he never makes any sales, even though he is the best painter I have ever witnessed. His paintings are stunning. The reasons he never makes any sales, is because he never finishes his paintings. He wants them to be perfect, therefore, he keep working on them for months and years.</p>
<p>Know when your work is good enough for your audience. It will never be perfect, if you are waiting for it to be perfect, you&#8217;ll end up like my friend the painter.</p>
<p><strong>Leverage: a successful essential</strong></p>
<p>It comes a time when you realize that you don&#8217;t have the time or energy to do all that you want or need to do. You come to realize that you have to outsource some of your work. I am doing it, and &#8220;all&#8221; successful people are doing it. They are leveraging their time by hiring others to do the things they aren&#8217;t suited to do themselves. For instance, I never do any graphical stuff, it would take a lot of my time and the results would be poor, no matter how much time I used. I am using <a title="I have used Elance to find graphic artists and writers" href="http://www.elance.com">Elance.com</a> to find graphic artists and writers.</p>
<p><strong>You should read this book</strong></p>
<p>Git off the porch! is not only an inspirational book, but it&#8217;s also a book with many great tips for Internet marketers. It&#8217;s fairly cheap, easy to read, and I am sure that it will help you expand your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been a member of Ready Made Review Sites since the day Anthony Hull and Jason Gazaway launched it in February. The reason I joined was that I had been looking for something similar for quite some time. I spend my time blogging, I haven&#8217;t created my own products (yet) and I haven&#8217;t done much advertising (like Pay Per Click). The money I have been earning so far has been from ads on my blogs and reviews that I have been writing and publishing on my blog.</p>
<p>I have come to realize that writing reviews for products is one of the easiest ways to earn money online.</p>
<p>And, since I don&#8217;t have much time to create my own products, I would prefer to get professional written reviews for some of the top Internet marketing products every single month.</p>
<p>I have been very satisfied with Ready Made Review Sites, and I am still very satisfied. Everything about this membership site is plain awesome. The price is fairly high, but the product you get, is close to perfect.</p>
<p>The current review sites I have launched from my membership at Ready Made Review Sites are:</p>
<p><a title="Blogging Product Reviews" href="http://blogging-product-reviews.slymarketing.com">Blogging Product Reviews</a><br />
<a title="Search Engine Optimization Product Reviews" href="http://seo-reviews.slymarketing.com/">Search Engine Optimization Product Reviews</a><br />
<a title="Membership Product Reviews" href="http://membership-software-reviews.slymarketing.com/">Membership Product Reviews</a></p>
<p>You get this <em>each month</em> when you join join Ready Made Review Sites:</p>
<p><strong>1.  Plug-n-Play Affiliate Review Site</strong></p>
<p>Each professional affiliate review site contains:<br />
- Top 3 Clickbank Affiliate Products<br />
- 3 Professionally Written Product Reviews<br />
- Custom Unique Header<br />
- Professionally Designed &#8220;Review&#8221; Site<br />
- The site is constructed using HTML/PHP and can be edited if you need to.<br />
- Optimized for Search Engines<br />
- Privacy Policy and Contact page<br />
- Integrated Affiliate Link Cloaker Script</p>
<p><strong>2. Plug-n-Play Clickbank &#8220;Top 20&#8243; Products Page</strong></p>
<p>Each site also includes a page listing 20 top clickbank internet marketing products, your affiliate link is included on all the products.</p>
<p><strong>3. 10 Professionally Written &#8220;Marketing&#8221; Articles</strong></p>
<p>Professionally written articles by an experienced Internet Marketing author and each article is apx. 500 words</p>
<p><strong>4. Autoresponder Series 7 emails</strong></p>
<p>Just copy and paste the 7-day email series into AWeber or Getresponse. Each email is professionally written and about the topic of the month.</p>
<p><strong>5. 5 PPC Ads + Keywords List</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get 5 pre-written ads and lots of keywords you can use to promote your affiliate review site each month using Google Adwords, the Yahoo Publisher Network, MSN or other similar search engines.</p>
<p><strong>6. List of Topic Related Blogs</strong></p>
<p>One of the best free method of generating traffic is to post comments on related blogs. Included in the membership is a long list of topic related blogs.</p>
<p>The total monthly value of all the six components, according to the sales page, is $1177.</p>
<p>What impresses me the most is that it takes only a few minutes to launch the new &#8220;ready made&#8221; review site.</p>
<p>All I have to do each month is to complete four simple steps, my guess is that it takes me about 15 minutes:</p>
<p>1. Download my affiliate review site from the members area<br />
2. Add my Clickbank affiliate ID and a few other variables such as page title/domain name etc<br />
3. Upload the affiliate review website to my hosting account<br />
4. Use my provided marketing materials to market my site and start earning commissions</p>
<p>I am very satisfied with this membership, and I think that if you are looking for an &#8220;easy&#8221; method to earn commission, you should give Ready Made Review Sites a try. They have an 8 week money-back guarantee, so, even if you don&#8217;t make a dime, you can test it for 8 weeks and get your money back.</p>
