All About Google Quality Score by Andrew Goodman

Do you use Google Adwords in your online advertising?

Google Quality Score has received both positive and negative
attention.

Note: Quality Score for Google and the search network is a
dynamic metric assigned to each of your keywords. It's calculated
using a variety of factors and measures how relevant your keyword
is to your ad group and to a user's search query. The higher a
keyword's Quality Score, the lower its minimum bid and the better
its ad position. Visit Google Adwords Help Center to learn more.

WebProNews spoke with Andrew Goodman, the Founder and Principal of Page-Zero Media, about Google’s Quality Score.

He explains Google’s perspective of the Quality Score, but he also
talks about the difficulties people experience with it.

Watch this 7-minute video. Very informative.

What is Site Built It! and why is it so special?

Site Build It! or SBI! in short, is Sitesell's flagship product,
a proprietary small business web hosting platform. It is a
comprehensive, integrated, business-building system.
In addition to keyword brainstorming and research functionality,
the easy-to-use platform provides site building, hosting, and
marketing tools (more than 50 modules in total).

Site Build It! delivers profitable businesses...

What Is The It! in Site Build It!?

Standard, old-fashioned Web hosting services provide you with disk
space to park a Web site, "quick and cheap", just sitting there.
And that is all you ever have, a lonely, unvisited Web site.

But SBI! delivers Top 1% to Top 3% results! No doubt about it...

SBI! builds a site that works. But that is not "it."

SBI! delivers the success of a thriving business.

But even that is not "it."

Get What You Want From Site Build It!

It depends on who you are, from raw "newbie" to marketing expert.

It depends on what you want out of business and life...

* Freedom and self-reliance?
* Increased revenues from an existing business.
* Growth and independence?
* Living life with passion.
* Recognition and support?
* Community and belonging.
* The right skills and control?
* Additional family income & time.

No matter who you are or what you want, you can Site Build It!.

How Does SBI! Deliver "It"?

It doesn't.

You read correctly. SBI! does not deliver "it."

There is no such product.

Site Build It! gives you the proven ability to take charge and
"go out and get it."

Here's how...

SBI! assumes you know nothing about building an online business
(and yet, it is invaluable for the advanced Webmaster, too).
It provides everything you need...

* the process that works - natural, powerful, proven
and...
* the complete set of integrated tools - everything you
need to do the process perfectly.

No matter how "new" you may be to the online business world,
after you complete the steps outlined in the day by day
Action Guide...

* you will have more than just the skills to build a Web site
* you will have more than a growing online business
* you will have the "it" you seek.

And you will continue to grow your business and your profits.
Your way... Your control.... Your time....

To explain the who-what-why of SBI! and exactly how it changes
people's lives, we have prepared a 2½ minute "video shortcut"
for you. It is the fastest way to understand how you, too, will
succeed beyond all others and why nothing in the world exists
like SBI!.


Take this Video Tour, and you'll understand a lot more about SiteSell and SBI!

"What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for
the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every
cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that
every path may lead to peace."
- Agnes M. Pharo

"The universal joy of Christmas is certainly wonderful.
We ring the bells when princes are born, or toll a mournful dirge
when great men pass away. Nations have their red-letter days,
their carnivals and festivals, but once a year and only once, the
whole world stands still to celebrate the advent of a life. Only
Jesus of Nazareth claims this worldwide, undying remembrance.
You cannot cut Christmas out of the calendar, nor out of the
heart of the world."
- Anonymous

Let me take this opportunity to dedicate a song to All Of You...
...."Joy To The World"!

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love."

Soprano Renee FLeming with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Be a happier online marketer in 2008 - New Year's Resolutions

It's time of the year to look back to the past, and more
importantly, forward to the coming new year.

It's also the right time to reflect on the changes we need
to make, resolve them to follow through on changes to your
present.

I've been scratching my head over the past few days to come
up with a list of "New Year's Resolutions" from an online
marketer's perspectives....

Here's is the list:

1. Sell or promote only good products or services from
legitimate companies at fair prices and terms.

2. If you're a network marketer, teaching your downlines
how to build their business should NOT be your main profit
center. You should not allow your followers to lose money
for an extended period if you're serious about gaining
their continued respect as a good leader.

3. Don't hound people.

4. Develop or cultivate a positive attitude toward others
and their accomplishments.

5. Encourage a balanced life of business/work and rest.

6. Communicate honestly and truthfully.

7. Be fair and just in money matters. Avoid greeds.

8. Never forget to create an environment free of harassment.

9. Never depend on friends, family or neighbors for sales.

10. Never let your values slide to make a sale.

11. Refrain from spamming - Spamming has been a defiantly
serious problem, profitable to some but stressful for others.
Email spam, forum spam, social networking spam, blog spam,
etc, just to name a few types.

12. Don't be a "cyber jerk" - I've come across many of them.
More are joining this league now!
Two types of cyber jerks:
-- First type, he usually spends a lot of time surfing the Net
looking for "freebies". Legitimate marketers usually offer
freebies to build their email lists but these jerks, they
"opt in" just for the freebies - they "un-subscribe" from
your list as soon as they have gotten the freebies from you!
-- Second type - like the first type above, he opts in with
an "auto-reply" email address -- his intention is to
"legally" send you HIS OFFER instead of subscribing to
your newsletter!

I want to follow all 12 items above to make myself a happier
marketer. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to make as much
money as I can possibly make online! But on the other hand
I want to have peace of mind in my daily life in order to be
happy.

Don't forget, "Happy Go Lucky" and "Lucky Go Wealthy"!

What do you think?

Blogkits a.k.a. OfferForge - My Review After 3 Months

I've been "toying" with Blogger blogs since May, 2005...
Made lots of lousy mistakes....Some blogs were up at PR3/4
at a time and suddenly dived to "0" or "2" and "3" and
then went up bit and down again....and then up and then down
.....I'm a lousy blogger. But I'm determined to make my newly
started, self-hosted wp blog a better one.

I knew next to nothing about "blog monetization" until I found
my way to MyBlogLog - it was around January 2007, I guess.

There, I took a few recommendations from other bloggers
to try out a few ad networks...
...One of them was Adsense....but not for me 'cos I'd read too
much about "click frauds" and account de-activations. I'm a
fairly heavy user of Google AdWords, so I thought I'd better
not try Adsense yet.

I took Bidvertiser, Auction Ads, Kontera, AdBrite and a couple
less popular ones - I started to learn about monetizing my blogs
in a small way....
Yes, I happily plugged some ads around my blogs....
...After 3 months?
...Nothing happened. Yes, nothing, except for Bidvertiser!

Bidvertiser didn't work out too badly...small earning...enough to
pay a few tiny bills.
What more could I expect - my blogs got just a pathetic amount
of traffic!
I gave up ALL except Bidvertiser by the end of March.

At about the same time I came across the name Blogkits, from
a blog which I can no longer remember its name....
Neh...I wasn't impressed with it at all after a couple of minutes
of reading.

April to July - I was too busy selling some new products.
So no time left for me to look up for other possible alternative
ad networks.

Mid August, 2007...
I stumbled upon André S Clements Blog at MyBlogLog and
came to know that André worked with Blogkits!
This time was different - I put in some serious effort to
research the company background. I went all the way to find
out where did Blogkits come from and who are the guys
behind it!

Wow! Very impressed with what I found out.....I joined!

BlogKits is an affiliate marketing network for bloggers, founded
by Jim Kukral

The name (Blogkits) has recently changed to OfferForge ,
now owned and funded by the Forge Corporation, a marketing
firm which has connections with high-level advertisers such as
eBay, Starbucks, Buy.com, and StubHub, just to name a few.

Blogkits campaigns are mainly CPS and CPA.

Jim Kukral is a veteran online marketer, web-entrepreneur,
speaker and award-winning blogger who focuses on creative
marketing ideas and strategies. (I copied this part from Jim's
profile in his blog). He was formerly (up till March 2007) the
Publisher of ReveNews.

OfferForge is currently headed by Jonathan Miller,
a ReveNews blogger, as well as the Founder and CEO of
Kowabunga Technologies
More about Jonathan Miller.

How OfferForge works:
Presently there are 2 main types of ad campaigns:

First type: "Ad Pools"
Ad Pools - in which advertisers are categorized three groups, of
which a blogger can simply choose one. Ads from advertisers will
be rotated - Choose either text ad or banner ad, or both.

The three groups are:

1. Tech & Internet People - This set of ads work best for blogs
that have a webmaster or tech audience.

2. Non Specific/General Readers - This set of ads work best for
blogs that don’t have a specific niche industry audience
(safest bet).

3. Small Businesses - This set of ads work best for blogs that
have an audience of small business owners or professional
business-to-business readers.

The second type is just to select whichever campaigns within
the system you wish to advertise, deploy the desired creatives,
in text or graphic banners and paste the codes into your blog.
Some of the campaigns are:

ForexYard Forex Trading
FreeDebtAssessment.com
Peapod
Accuquote
Bidz.com - Long Form
Bright Hub Membership Campaign
Computer Associates
DealMax- FREE $25 Visa gift card
FreeCreditReport.com
Mail By Santa
Maldini Sports Betting
MyJewelryBox
Net Quote - Auto Insurance
Nuance Speech and Imaging Software
Privacy Matters 123 - Free Credit Report and Score
Qwik Cash Loans
Slot Machines Mastery
Trend Micro
Webfetti
Winning Lotto Strategies
Zwinky

The Back Office:
Interface within the affiliate center is quite user-friendly as far
as my personal experience is concerned. However there's the
need to improve on:
--The FAQ's aren't explaining too clearly.
-- The "Payment Info" section is confusing - I don't seem to be
able to figure the nos out correctly (or, is it just me?).
-- After each "deployment" of a campaign creative, there isn't
a "link" for you to go back to where you come from. Must hit
"back" button twice to go back.
-- No creative specially designed to be used for pay-per-click
search engine (example AdWords) advertising. Need that
as soon as possible.

One other problem I got - minor one, perhaps it was caused by
the recent process of integrating Blogkits with OfferForge.
My problem - I still have 4 email notifications of sales left
un-traced. Here are the screenshots:




Final Thought
OfferForge has great potentials for bloggers (especially newbie
bloggers and those who have low-traffic blogs) to make some
decent cash. Personally I'm quite happy with what I've made.
In fact I hardly did anything other than placing some banners
into my blogs! I haven't promoted anything to my lists yet.
I haven't even started any campaign using pay-per-click
search engine marketing (AdWords, YPN, etc)- I plan to do so.
It doesn't have a referral program. If you're interested, click

Free Spam Checker for Email Marketing

Do you check your ezines and email messages for your email
marketing campaigns with a spam checker before actually
sending them out?

Spam is a bigger and bigger problem nowadays. Recently Ralph
Wilson, Paul Myers, and other Net marketing gurus have
written about the problems that spam is causing honest, hard
working Net marketers.

Actually, while spam is the fundamental root of our
problems, the anti-spam measures that large ISPs and
important free e-mail hosts (like Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail)
undertake are what hurts legitimate Net marketers.

Much like tuna nets catch dolphins by mistake, their spam
filters catch us. So the SiteSell SpamCheck Tool is a quick
way for honest marketers to make sure that their e-mails are
less likely to be considered spam by ISPs, by Yahoo! Mail and
Hotmail (which tosses you into their Junk folders) and even
by individual filters set up by an ever-growing number of
recipients around the world.

I've a very good free tool that you can use.....

-----
Here's how it works...

STEP 1: Copy-and-paste your subject, but start your subject
with the word "TEST" (without the quotes, in UPPER CASE) so
that we know this is a test e-mail. (If the subject does NOT
start with TEST, we'll assume it's REAL spam and delete it).
Here's a sample subject...

TESTFlower-Lovers Ezine #007: Peonies for the Yukon

STEP 2: Copy-and-paste the rest of your e-zine and simply
send it, exactly the way you would send it to your
recipient, to...

spamcheck-stanchee@sitesell.net

-OR-

Simply visit this URL and use the online form to spamcheck your e-mail...

http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/stanchee.html

-----

You'll get a report back (in seconds, perhaps a few minutes
if volume is heavy) telling you how good or bad your e-mail
is, from a spam-detector's point of view. You will receive
a full, free report of all corrections that you should make
to your zine, in order to stay out of the junk folders. It
does NOT, of course, actually comment on WHAT you write --
first, it's not that smart. And second, the actual content
is YOUR business! ;-)

This SpamChecker is a feature of the E-zine MailOut tool,
which is one part of the entire system of Site Build It! tools.

For more information about Site Build It!, please see...

How To Increase Your Landing Page Conversion Rate

I've three suggestions for you:

1. Personalize your landing page - This is usually done in two
ways:

- by providing a photo of yourself, and/or
- by adding your signature to the bottom of your landing page.

This radically increases visitors' trust. Most people who resist
buying products online do so because they're weary of getting
sucked into a scam by a faceless liar, who wont be around when
they need help or when they need to return the product.
By adding your picture and signature, you can gain visitors'
trust.

2. Use black text on a white layout. Regardless of what others
may tell you, this is one of the simplest ways to make your page
look professional.

3. Offer something for free. This is generally what you will do
if you're using a squeeze page to generate leads: you'll offer a
free report or e-course – and then use that to generate leads,
which you will later upsell or generate revenue via affiliate sales.
Why is this technique so effective? Quite simply because it
allows them to judge your work and ideas before they actually
have to pay for them. Additionally, it builds trust.

Final thought:
You should always guarantee a product. If you sell through
ClickBank, you actually won't have a choice. But if you're using
Paypal or some other payment methods, you will want to make
sure you clearly state that customers can return your product
for any reason within a given period of time after the purchase.

Follow all of these steps and you will significantly increase your
landing page conversion rate.

Understand The Landing Page System

A complete understanding of the "landing page" system is
crucial whenever you launch an online advertising campaign,
especially when you use pay-per-click advertising.

Another word commonly used for a landing page for the
specific purpose of capturing leads is "squeeze page".
But there's a slight different between the two:

A squeeze page is a page designed to capture names and
email addresses for list building.
To see an example of a squeeze page,
Click Here - See the size of the website and the "opt-in"
form at the bottom of the page?

Whereas a landing page has a lot more content in it--It is
BOTH a "sales page" as well as a lead-capture page because it's
usually incorporated with an "opt-in" form.
To see an example of a landing page,
Click Here - You'll see a "pop-up" which is an "opt-in"
form. And notice the length of the website?

Hence a squeeze page is the SMALLER version of a landing page.

The landing page system provides a uniquely powerful system
through which you can derive profit from multiple streams.
This article will briefly discusses some of those different
streams – and how you can manipulate them.

The landing page is where all traffic is directed to in an ad
campaign. From there, it will have a number of options,
depending on what you want to do. Some marketers suggest
that your landing page should always be an opt-in form.
Others may suggest that it should simply be a salespage.

Whichever the case, the landing page system you create should
include a "one time offer" or "OTO", which will compel your
prospects to take action – subscribe, buy...and so on.

Once they subscribe or buy, the landing page system you create
should then re-route them to a thank you page, which opens up
more means through which you can upsell. One quick way to
upsell is to simply include advertisements on your thank you
page for related products. Here, again, you will want to give
them a OTO.

Also, if you haven't yet asked them to join your mailing list,
this is where you should do it – on your thank you page.
Once they opt-in to your list, you now have a whole new
options you can use in conjunction with the landing page
system to generate revenue.

One such option is selling ad space in your newsletter or ezine.
The more people you have reading your newsletter, the more
you can generally charge for adspace; however, you will want
to avoid overselling to your list to ensure your advertisers
actually make money.

Your next option is to endorse a product as an affiliate.
You can tell your subscribers how someone has just created a
brilliant product – and you can offer it to your subscribers
through an affiliate link. You may even want to use other
products you have has bonuses to give them something extra.

The last and most profitable way in which you can generate
revenue through your newsletter is by creating and selling
your own products to them.

It is important to note that you don't have to use all of
these means to generate revenue; however, the more you use,
the more you earn in general.

Christmas with MyJewelryBox

2007's Biggest Online Shopping Day!

Christmas is around the corner! Oh, how time flies when you're
making money...

MyJewelryBox have focused on setting up exciting promotions
around particular dates this festive season.

The first two dates worth noting at this stage are the following:

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States ,
where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping
season. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many
employers give the day off, allowing consumers to get a head
start on their Christmas shopping.

Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following
Black Friday, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online
shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas. Whereas Black Friday is associated with
traditional brick-and-mortar stores, "Cyber Monday"
symbolizes a busy day for online retailers.

MyJewelryBox have put together some appealing Christmas
Promotions of 20% consumer discount this festive season.

Volusion Inc.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 10, 2007 -- After analysis of
previous years' holiday sales figures, Volusion Inc., a leading
provider of eCommerce solutions, predicts that the biggest
shopping day of the year will break the typical pattern seen
in most years this decade.

From 2000 to 2005, the biggest online spending day of the year
fell on a Monday. Shoppers tend to spend time browsing in stores
on the weekends and then buy gifts online when they return to
work, where they usually have the fastest internet connections.
This pattern held true in 2006 as well when on Monday,
December 11th, consumers spent $556 million online.
This was the biggest online shopping day in history. That was
of course until Wednesday, December 13th, when consumers
spent a whopping $667 million.

The biggest online spending day will be Wednesday, December
12th, 2007. The Monday halfway between Thanksgiving and
Christmas has been biggest spending day of the year every
year this decade with the sole exception of 2006. Like 2006,
this Monday falls on a very early date in 2007--December 10th,
to be exact. Merchants will be pushing their free and discounted
shipping promotions that won't end until the 17th or 18th, and
consumers will respond to these later promotions by waiting
to purchase on Tuesday and Wednesday instead of Monday.
This was the case last year and will continue to be the case
this year.
With more people online than ever, ecommerce retail sales will
certainly break records this holiday season. Expect sales to
exceed $750 million on December.

Your Password for Internet Marketing Success

Successful online business people keep getting more successful
because of "who" they know, not necessarily "what" they know.

From personal experience I know that making "the right
connections" with "the right people" can snowball your
income and Internet business success in ways most people
can only dream about.

Unfortunately, the doors to "the right connections" are often
closed for the average person--most clubs where you can
network with "the right people" won't let you inside unless
you're ALREADY successful and well-connected!

And those clubs that DO welcome the "average" business
owner are usually a waste of your time because, let's be
honest...all those who are in there are struggling with the
SAME problems!

I was fortunate enough to make a few "right" connections,
most notably, was Derek Gehl and his Team at the
Internet Entrepreneur Club (IEC).
It was really a one-in-a-million break for me.

I got both I wanted...."the right connections".....and also my
chance to learn "what I want to know"!

To find out how I'm doing this, visit:
Internet Entrepreneur Club

The Internet Entrepreneur Club is more than 3000 members
strong and growing! Now it's looking to add another 1000
members to the roster...

When it was launched one year ago (in November 2006),
I had no idea it would grow so huge -- so quickly!

The reason why our members think their monthly membership
fee is PEANUTS is because IEC's in-house Club experts help
eliminate 100% of the "guesswork" of starting and growing
an online business.

Once they join, members get...

* Unlimited access to the bustling Internet Entrepreneur
Club forums where Derek's team of marketing experts are
waiting to provide detailed answers to every single
question they ask!

* Weekly participation in a LIVE call-in "Q & A" session,
where Club members can talk to IEC's experts in person
and get professional help with their most pressing online
business challenges

* Monthly calls with industry experts making HUGE
six- and seven-figure incomes -- who are prepared to
spill their best-kept secrets for success!

* FREE tickets to a two-day "NO-PITCH" seminar
where a team of IEC experts will take the stage and
bring you up to date on all the latest and most
powerful online business-building secrets that are
seeing great results RIGHT NOW.
(This seminar is ONLY available to members who
have been the Club for 3 months or longer).

* Access to a powerful library of business-building
secrets -- featuring video tutorials, recorded interviews,
and print materials that will show you step by step
how to implement the hottest marketing strategies
(such has how to beat Google at its own game!)

* Derek Gehl's monthly "Industry Update" newsletter,
containing all the latest Internet marketing news
savvy entrepreneurs need to know in order to stay
ahead of the competition.

* Free book giveaways -- I'm talking bestsellers written
by industry giants!

* A CD recording of every monthly interview, mailed

worry about missing a single call.

With all the benefits listed above...It surely will be the
"Password" to Your Internet Marketing Success!

What is Personafile and How it Works?

"Personafile"...Yes, it isn't something everybody knows
about...In fact, it has just been launched recently!

I like Personafile's concept....It gave me an excellent first
impression.

Yes, you can Make Money with Personafile but you must
first understand it....That's the whole purpose of writing this
post...See if you like it...and if you do....JOIN...It costs
NOTHING!

Introduction....Imagine This:

"With all of the products people own today, it's easy
to lose the operating details, service documents, warranties
and user manuals. Once you purchase an item and begin
to use it, this paperwork gets relegated to drawers,
filing cabinets and paper piles – sometimes never to be
seen again. So, what happens when you need to update
a driver, service your car, buy a replacement part,
contact customer service, or find a repair center?
Where do you begin?

In the past there you would logically search Google or
Yahoo, the manufacturer's website, or the website of
the store you purchased the item from. Then you
found 100's of links that continued your search
(most of which have nothing to do with what you
need). When you thought you finally found what
you needed – you really didn't understand what
to do. Many times the link took you somewhere
else."

Say "good-bye" to all that...You now have Personafile to
help you...

...Personafile makes all of this simple. Just open your Personafile,
select the product in question, and get all of the product and
service information you need in one place – clear, concise and
at your fingertips.

What is Personafile?

Personafile is an online consumer product/service information
archive portal providing the following services to its members:

(1) ORGANIZE...What You Own
* Categorize your purchases and group your products
* Capture notes, add product images, and record documents
* Maintain service records and monitor your product's
condition.

(2) ENHANCE...What You Use
* Access product tips, techniques and online tutorials
* Gather expert opinions, reviews, and answers to questions
* Receive relevant offers from trusted merchants

(3) SHARE...What You Think
* Place your product opinions in forums, blogs and online
markets
* Share and receive product and service recommendations
* Keep family and friends informed with latest product
announcements

It doesn't stop there....

Personafile has established online marketing relationships with
over 400 online retailers and service providers in 30 different
consumer categories, and will continue to add quality merchants
that provide competitive prices, discount coupons, and valuable
services.
Some Big Names are : eBay, Amazon, Best Buy, Apple Store,
SonyStyle Direct, Wal-Mart.com, Starbucks Store, Buy.com,
Dell Home & Home Office, Kodak, Yahoo, AIG Auto Insurance...
...just to name a few.

Each time a member initiates a purchase from one of these online
merchants Personafile gets a commission from the merchant--
-That's how money is made by Personafile.

Now, what's in for YOU as a Personafile member?

You earn from the "Gain Cash Rewards Program".

The Personafile [i]Gain Cash Rewards Program pays you up
to 50% of the net commissions Personafile earns on the
products and services you buy from its online merchants.
It also pays you an additional commission for the online
purchases your direct referrals make.

To sum it up:
• You gain a valuable service that helps you manage the products
you buy.

• The products you buy, along with the products your direct
referrals buy, will generate cash-back rewards for you.
You make money.

Once you have a Personafile account you can invite others to
join, so they too can share in the service benefits and get cash
back for the products they buy. You can invite friends and
family by using the Invite function within the Personafile
service.

The cash-back rewards range between 10 to 50% of commissions
earned by Personafile, depending on your level of participation
in various activities which enable you to earn "Activity Points".
There are 25 ways for you to earn "Activity Points" as soon as
you activated your Personafile account.

How to refer others to join Personafile:
(Please note-This is NOT multi-level marketing or mlm)

In your member center there is an "Invite" function where you
can simply send out emails to invite your contacts to join under
your referral link. Very simple. You can also invite others to join
by putting up your Referral Link in your blogs or websites.
You can create a few different types of Referral Links for yourself
in your Personafile back office where there are detailed written
guides supported by graphics...not so difficult.

Here are some of my favorite products. To join Personafile,
just click one of these links and then click 'Join Now'.

Apple - MacBook - 13-inch display, 2.16-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, 160 GB Hard Drive - Black - MB063LL/A (Apple Macbook)

Apple - iPod™ touch | 16GB = 3,500 Songs - MA627LL/A (Apple iPod MP3 Player)

Can this be the "Tipping Point" in your Internet Marketing Business?

Let me let you in on a little secret...

Think you need to be a technical wizard to score a top 10
ranking for your website in Google, Yahoo, and MSN?

Wrong!

The truth is this:

You CAN skyrocket your site to the top of the major search
engines in as little as 30 days, and expose your online business
to millions of potential customers.

The PROOF is the more than 3,000 website owners -- both
e-business newbies and experienced Internet marketers -- who
have already used a secret SEO formula to propel their websites
to the tops of the search engines...

And I'm talking about the top 10 rankings in Google, Yahoo,
and MSN where millions, tens of millions and even hundreds
of millions of sites are competing against one another!

Personally, I can't consider myself as "web savvy". But I too,
have been able to rank my blogs and sites high up the major
search engines on some highly competitive keywords and
keywords phrases (both generic as well as long tails). Let
me just quote a few examples here and let you be the judge.

Take this free Blogger blog you're now reading - Its title
is "Internet Marketing" - contents are mainly related to
"internet marketing", "online marketing", "make money",
"home business", etc.
The generic keyword "internet marketing" is one of the
most competitive, agree? Take a look at the ranking of this
blog --Keywords shown are "actual searched keywords"
performed by some of my recent visitors from search engines...

Google:

Internet Marketing
---Ranks # 5 out of 463,000,000

make money two tier affiliate program
---Rank # 1 out of 1,270,000

network / internet marketer personal page
---Rank # 2 out of 29,000,000

How did I do it?
Very simple....I've been an affiliate of the Internet Marketing
Center (IMC) for years. That's where I learned, from Derek
Gehl and his Team.

And you can do the same (or much better than me). It's dirt
cheap - Get started with coaching from Derek and his Team

Ways of Making Money Online

Making money online is not necessarily going to be easy, and
there is certainly no proven way to get rich quick, but your
opportunities to go into business on the internet are virtually
limitless. Whether you are looking to make a go of it online as
an individual, or if you're looking to expand the prospects of
your existing business, the internet offers you the chance to
do just about whatever it is you wish.

For the established brick and mortar business, taking your
business to the web is going to offer you some spectacular
enhancements. When you build your website, you are offering
a convenient alternative to your customers that they will
certainly appreciate. When they don't have the time to make
it to your location, they can go to your site and do many of the
same things they would do in person. You can also collect
e-mail contact information from your customers and clients
and use this as a cheaper, faster means of contacting them
and delivering important information.

Businesses existing primarily on the internet can make money
in a variety of ways. Large or small, these businesses can take
the form of retail, wholesale, auction, clearing houses, affiliate
marketers, specialized marketers, banks and other service
firms, publishers, weblogs (blogs), and innumerable other
forms. Whatever you can possibly imagine a market for, you
can make a business online for it. Interestingly, the internet
has even allowed for the creation of never before seen markets
with a voracious consumer appetite.

The individual can also benefit tremendously from internet
marketing. If you're not looking to start a business, per se,
you have many other options. Many sites offer you the
opportunity to market your skills as an independent programmer,
web designer, writer, and many other disciplines. Many have
chosen this path, while others have chosen to either market their
own products, or to market products with resale rights, on web
auction sites. Authors can now publish their own books and
market them online, retaining much of the profit lost otherwise
to a publisher. The point is, whatever skill or interest you have,
there is probably a market for it on the internet. And where
there is a market, there is an opportunity to make money.

The chances for making money online will depend on many
factors, but the most important of those factors is you.
Knowing what you want to do, how you want to do it, and
what obstacles you will face are important. Drive, determination,
and an attitude of success will serve you well online. While the
innovations of the internet provide new paths to success, the
values that achieve success are still the same.

Are you looking for a legitimate, money-making affiliate
program with proven track records and high credibility for
years?

BlogRush sucks Big Time!

After testing it for nearly 6 weeks I made my decision to remove
the ugly looking Blogrush widgets from all my blogs this morning
-- A complete waste of time and space!

Then, few hours later, this email came through from John Reese:

"An Important BlogRush News Update...

- Congratulations!
- 10,000+ Blogs Removed From BlogRush
- Phase 2 Being Deployed
- Busy Week Ahead!

------------------------------
-------------------------------
Congratulations!
------------------------------------------------

You are receiving this update because your blog has
passed our strict Quality Guidelines and criteria --
we believe you have a high-quality blog and we are
happy you're a member of our network!

------------------------------------------
10,000+ Blogs Removed From BlogRush
-----------------------------------------

We've just completed a massive SWEEP of our entire
network. We've removed over *10,000* blogs (Yes, ten
thousand) that did not meet our new Quality Guidelines.

We have done a huge "quality control audit" of our
network and have reviewed all the blogs one-at-a-time.
We will continue to review each NEW blog that is ever
submitted to our network.

You will notice the HUGE DIFFERENCE in the quality
of blogs that now appear in your widget. This major
*sweep* of our network will also increase the click-rates
across the entire network and you will start to receive
more traffic.

But we're only getting started. We've got LOTS of
amazing improvements in the works to help you get
more daily traffic from our network.

--------------------------------------
Phase 2 Being Deployed
--------------------------------------

We're in the process of rolling out our massive "Phase 2"
upgrade to BlogRush. In the next few days you'll see
an all-new Dashboard, advanced statistics reporting,
and much, much more.

We're introducing tons of new sub-categories to help
with content relevance (which will increase click-rates
and traffic).

We're also introducing a "Thin Widget" option. Many
of our members cannot use the standard widget because
it's too wide for their blog. This new widget format will
solve this issue.

-------------------------------------
Busy Week Ahead!
-------------------------------------

We have a busy week ahead as we will start rolling out
all these fantastic changes. Thanks so much for your
patience! We will continue to work very hard to help
drive more quality, targeted DAILY TRAFFIC to your
blog."
Best Regards,
John Reese, Founder of BlogRush

Sorry Johnny, BlogRush has been a joke so far.I won't dare
to try your stuff no more!
