Well… it’s a huge time saver and even though it’s much cheaper than other spying programs that cost more than $500. it does exactly what we need!

I hate wasting time and this inexpensive software program is one of those rare find lifesaver products that saves me time and gives me valuable information that I can analyze and use to make huge amounts of money! It’s so easy to use that you can do it too!

Simply plug-in a list of keywords, such as those from Article Underground, and let the software run for a few days. It will spy on the competition and tell you exactly what they’re doing!

Can you imagine how powerful it is to know what keywords sell which affiliate products???

Now, I realize there has been some controversy surrounding the ethics of spying on the competition, but let me assure you that the way I am using the software and the collected data is not in any way illegal or even immoral. The software itself is not illegal, black hat or immoral.

AdSpyPro is simply a tool that tells us what works for others advertising on Google Adwords. It shows us what works and almost as important what does not work! That kind of information is priceless!

It’s simply smart business to analyze and find out what the competition is doing that is already making them money and then take that data to the bank. We do it with keywords all the time!
Find what people search for and target those words! Find out what words people are advertising and target those words!

So, how do I use it???

Well, I have a lot planned but so far I installed the software
(easy) and then dropped in a list of keywords for one of my high traffic web sites. I’ve been running Adsense on it but have been looking to add a few products or offers so I can make more on affiliate commissions.

The next morning I looked at the reports AdSpyPro showed me and I found an advertiser who was constantly advertising for an affiliate program available at Commission Junction! Now I know exactly what product I can place on my site and prevent wasted time trying this and that trying to find what sells.

That’s just one example. I have since input even more keywords and I have since uncovered several niches that have affiliate products (from Clickbank and others) that are being regularly advertised.
This means those products and associated keywords are profitable.
Otherwise the advertisers would not be the top bidders and keep paying for those ads! (continued – read more of this article…)

Are you making enough with Adsense?

Are you making enough with Adsense?

The new Camtasia video covers selling affiliate products and showcases the Article Underground affiliate program.

A few people have asked me lately why I am DOWN on Google Adsense, and in reality I am not DOWN on it – but am looking for alternative methods to monetize my web sites.

I’m not saying you should dump Adsense, but what I am saying is to go out there and try some other methods of monetizing your web sites. Create your own products, build your own opt-in lists of subscribers, join affiliate programs and promote good products that are targeted to the keywords your web pages are getting traffic for and your earnings will GO UP!

X-Ray Domination Affiliate Keyword Research Alternative

Are you looking for an X-Ray Domination Affiliate Keyword Research Alternative? Huh… what is X-Ray???

OK, unless you’ve been living under a rock the past week you’ve been told about X-Ray Domination – a $997. or $1,497. product that helps boost sales and conversions.

It tracks the keywords people click all the way through the affiliate programs sales page and will show which keywords convert into sales! Excellent keyword research for affiliate sales!

I’ve got a $127.00 alternative that will also track conversions! Read on!

X-Ray Domination Alternative

OK, so you’ve been bombarded with emails trying to sell you X-Ray Domination, the software/product from The Rich Jerk. Yes, I too got hit in the head with a rock or two and took the plunge and bought the $1,497. full use license.

Ouch! $1,497, is a whole lot of money!

Why did I buy it?

Well, for one I really liked their sales pitch and found the reasons compelling enough to invest in it, both for my own personal use and also to keep my subscribers and Article Underground members in the know. I’ll be writing about what it is and if it delivers over the next few months.

BUT in the meantime I have run across an X-Ray alternative that looks to be every bit as effective at performing “some” of what the X-Ray software claims to do at a fraction of the price. Can you believe Xtreme Conversions is just $127.???

http://www.articleunderground.com/xtreme

I bought Xtreme Conversions too. I’ll be reporting more details after I install and test the software, but for now let me just say that while Xtreme Conversions may be cheaper – it is NOT a knock off or cheap imitation of X-Ray or any other product (as far as I can tell).

It doesn’t have all the hype, training and big promises of X-Ray but what the software does offer is a way to track where visitors are coming from – what keywords they searched for or clicked – AND
- this is the good part – it will tell you which keywords resulted in a SALE of the products on your pages. (continued – read more of this article…)

Is Adsense Dead?

Is Adsense Dead?

Every day I get a large amount of emails with questions about internet marketing. While reading email can be a distraction at times (especially sifting through all the spam), I do find it helpful to be connected with customers and prospective clientele, as opposed to keeping my email a secret and hiding behind a help desk.

I just got an email and while I was writing a response I decided to turn it into an article I could share with all of you here on my Internet Marketing Blog.

It’s interesting to see the impact of some of the negative web sites, special reports and “anti-gurus” messages that had been floating around saying that making money from Adsense was dead and in general passing around negative energy.

Usually that type of approach is intended to be a marketing ploy and often tries to sell some kind of product or service. It’s great at getting attention but as you’ll see it is also effective at wiping out the dreams of many “could be” internet success stories.

My advice in general… avoid any bad news type stories.. do not focus on gloom and doom. Try to see the good in things and focus on the possibilities of success – not failure.

OK, so I will stop the feel good talk to get back to the email I got today from Michael who basically wanted to know if he could still be a success at the internet marketing game. The answer of course is yes, but read on.

Here is Michael’s message:

“I’d like to ask you, from your vantage point – seeing the membership of Article Underground – what’s the situation with Adsense earnings? There were some very interesting numbers in a video on your sales page about how much Adsense could generate after 6 months. Is this still realistic? There was so much talk the past 6-7 months about Adsense earnings dropping sharply (reports like Death of Adsense, Life after Adsense). It seems to me now that some of this stuff was overdone. I’d be interested in AU if Adsense is viable. Both, becoming a member and promoting it as an affiliate. I’d appreciate your thoughts.”

The reply is for all of you reading this blog article, not just Michael…

Whether or not you become a member of the Article Undeground Content and Traffic System or not, I hope I can convey to all of you that there are still an almost infinite amount of opportunities for success for businesses focused on making money from internet marketing.

“What’s the situation with Adsense earnings?”

The situation with making money from Adsense earnings is almost exactly the same as it was 1 year ago, with many minor slight differences. While it may be EXTREMELY different than 2 or 3 years ago, when it was the wild west and almost anyone with shitty junk web sites could make crazy money, opportunities basically remain the same as a year ago. >>> (continued – read more of this article…)

Secrets of Passive Income from Affiliate Programs

How to Make Passive Income with Affiliate Programs and Joint Ventures

The secret to hands off passive income is based on recurring sales like subscription products and can make you a lot over time with little effort. When you sell recurring billed products you can earn money in addition to just the original transaction increasing your return on effort. I’ll show you how!

While it may be lucrative to make money with Adsense and PPC, it can also be profitable to promote the right affiliate products. Why not make money from both Adsense or Yahoo PPC ads and selling affiliate products you get a commission on???

I’ll show you how it works.

Most every product that is marketed has an affiliate program. Some are great! Some really suck!

In my humble opinion, the success of any product is dependant on the quality of it’s affiliate program.

For anyone with a product or service to sell, an affiliate program is like having a staff of sales people who go out and sell your stuff. Only that you do not need to pay them UNLESS they sell something!

What a brilliant concept! Why hire sales people when you can sell your products online with the aid of affiliate marketers???

OK, so what happens when you do not have your own product to sell???

SIMPLE: join an affiliate program and sell someone else’s product!
You’ll get commission for each sale!

The best kinds of affiliate program product sales involve recurring commissions, which means once you make a sale you continue to earn commissions month after month without any further work. That’s passive income! It’s the same concept as a salesperson and their client list. When the client buys they will get credit – but only if they’re on the list. Same with recurring commission on an affiliate program.

I’ll show you how easily you can do this affiliate marketing thing yourself and show you based on my personal experience. Get ready though – I have some eye opening info!

Whether you have a product yourself, or want to sell products, you’ll find this info helpful.

I have an affiliate program for my product The Article Underground Content and Traffic System and I owe a huge amount of the credit for my success to the great affiliates who along with me have struck a “win-win” partnership!

Article Underground Affiliate Program Details

Allow me to share some data on how much money has been earned by Article Undeground Affiliates.

In 2006 since opening in Mid February I have paid Article Underground affiliates over $227,000 in commissions. And 2007 is going strong!
