paradisefound's comment on FA$TCA$H System ...
FA$TCA$H-System Works For Me
I joined the FA$TCA$H system the minute it launched on November 5th, 2009. Within 3 days I had my three members and cycled, this put me in profit. It took me a month to get 3 more members and I have cycled again. Now once my referrals start cycling I will be doing very well with this system. I have been in profit since day 3, so if you know you can get 3 referrals, this is a great system to use. They just updated to a program builder a couple weeks ago, and this allows you to put your primary program in there as well as join programs that are preferred by the site owner, Rob Nunes. I really like this program and do recommend it to anyone that can get a few referrals. Until my referrals start cycling and I see even more profit, I am only giving this program a B. I think there were people thinking that this was going to be a fly by night operation, but I know Rob and I know that he has built the FA$TCA$H system to stick and stay through the good times and bad. Since it is only a total of $12 to be a part of this, it will not break the bank if for some reason you are unable to refer 3 people and the marketing resources are worth far more than that.
paradisefound's comment on Lords Of Traffic ...
Pretty good surfing
I have been using Lords Of Traffic for about 4 months now. I am not a huge fan of traffic exchanges, but this one is pretty good. The option to either hover or click when surfing is a very nice addition and makes this site stand out. I do not see this site as having a higher conversion rate than the most popular surf sites, but the hover surf is nice. The bonuses at Lords Of Traffic is probably the biggest advantage to using this traffic exchange, so make sure you surf long enough to enjoy the benefits. I would recommend this traffic exchange.
paradisefound's comment on Commission Junction ...
Commission Junction is easy
I joined Commission Junction a few weeks ago and was immediately approved, even though my websites are very new. Commission Junction has a lot of advertisers, so it was easy to find the best ones to display on my websites. I would sign up to be an affiliate for a site, and within minutes be approved to display their ads on my website. The interface that Commission Junction uses with its advertisers is pretty slick, I can go from my account to the advertisers popup window and preview their banners and links, pick the one I want, copy the code and I am done. All that is left is pasting the code to my website. I am a new webmaster, without a lot of traffic, so I have yet to make any commissions, but I am getting some impressions and am looking forward to working with Commission Junction for a long time. I would recommend this to newbies just starting their websites as it was very easy to get approved.
paradisefound's comment on SocialBot ...
Socialbot is pretty lame
I have Socialbot 4.1 and am not impressed at all. To begin with, you need to read the entire user instructions a few times to figure out the layout of this program. Then when you set it up, you need to have that instruction guide open and do everything step by step to figure out which buttons get you where on the interface. Having the program open slows my computer to a crawl, I cannot even attempt to view a short video while this software is open. Even though this software was only $25, I do not think it is worth half that. I will not recommend this software to anyone, newbie or professional.
paradisefound's comment on Pepperjam Network ...
No good for a brand new website
I attempted to join the Pepperjam Network with my brand new website. This site is set to bring in a lot of monthly visitors, but Pepperjam Network would not approve my site. So I do not have personal experience with the inner workings of the site, but I can tell you that you should not bother applying to this network until you have a very nice stream of traffic to your site. Do not bother submitting a new site for approval to Pepperjam Network because they will deny it like they did mine. There are plenty of sites with affiliate programs out there, so do not give up just because this one is very picky about the amount of traffic to your site.
paradisefound's comment on Ads and Cash ...
Good for traffic exchange users
I joined Ads and Cash over a year ago. I have really never been too big on traffic exchanges and free list builders for the obvious reasons, so I have not used this site to it's fullest potential. This is definitely a good program for traffic exchange marketers because they can store all of their traffic exchange member ids here and promote them all through the one link. I did not see much decent traffic from the advertised $250 in free ads, so this system was not for me. I have enjoyed much better success from article and video marketing and like them better because they stick around without having to surf daily for credits. I do believe that this program can work for some people, I just am not one of them. Jason Wise is well respected and I have heard that his support is very good in all of his programs, including this one. I had a problem at first and entered a support ticket, which he promptly helped me with.
paradisefound's comment on Lee McIntyre ...
You have to like this Guru
I have been on Lee McIntyre's mailing list for about 3 months now and am learning a lot from him. You have to like this guru because he gives you advice that most of the internet marketing gurus are selling for high dollar. Lee believes heavily in automation of all your network marketing, this is not a point I am at yet, but I am learning a lot from him for when the time comes that I can outsource my work. He focuses a lot of attention on outsourcing and will even show you where to get your work done for the best prices once you are ready to start outsourcing for your business. This is truly a must for those of us who want to have a multitude of sites in various niches and I am looking forward to doing this also. I would highly recommend that anyone get on his mailing list at the very least and learn from this generous guru.
paradisefound's comment on Mining Gold on the Internet ...
Definitely not a good course for the newbie
Mining Gold was one of the first internet marketing products I bought. The sales pitch promised that everything you need to know about internet marketing was inside this ebook. I was very disappointed to learn that the only way to make money from this information was to invest a lot of money. Now that I am more experienced I might look at it differently, but I have had a pc crash since and lost the ebook. I personally feel that this information was far overpriced and most of the decent "gurus" out there are giving this information away for free. Mining Gold definitely did not give viable ways of starting out as a newbie and profiting quickly, however it was quite enlightening in the JV partnering aspect of internet marketing. I do not recommend this product to anyone and advise newbies to stay away.
paradisefound's comment on Bill McRea ...
Bill McRea Is Awesome
I have been signed up to Bill's newsletter for several months now and the guy really knows his stuff. What I really like about Bill is that he is a no fluff, no filler kind of guy. He is straight up and tells it like it is, even when it is something you do not really want to hear. I like that in a person. I started my free trial of twitautomator (his new twitter software) about 6 hours ago and have already had over 50 new additions to my twitter account. Bill is obviously an excellent software expert. I set up my account in about 15 minutes and the followers are just rushing in, in fact I have had added 5 new followers while I am writing this comment. I highly recommend Bill McRea to newbies and professional marketers, even if it is just for his free advice.
paradisefound's comment on New Plan Network ...
Great marketing tools, But
I just quit the New Plan Network two weeks ago, after being involved for two months without getting a single sign up. I really like NPN and I think that their suite of internet marketing tools is unmatched by any other program, especially for the low monthly fee. However, there are now over 90,000 members in NPN and that is a lot of competition when it comes to advertising and marketing. Their lead capture page creator and hosting is awesome, but if you are unable to get leads from the over saturated market... what good are the great tools? I generated over 5000 hits to my lead capture page through various forms of advertising and had a whopping opt in of 6 people. Of these six people, one person read two of my emails from the autoresponder I set up through the back office. With not one person signing up with me, I felt that I was just throwing my money down the drain even though I really like the program and tools. I rate this program a B, because they really do supply the tools necessary to be an internet marketer, just too bad the market is so saturated as to be very difficult to get a sign up.
paradisefound's comment on Pay It Forward 4 Profits ...
Great Concept that does NOT deliver the goods
This was one of my first attempts at breaking into network marketing and boy did I fall for their marketing spiel. I joined in 2008 and joined a bunch of their programs, including traffic oasis, for leads. I did receive the leads, but they were useless, not one person on the list of leads that I received was even remotely interested in network marketing. I love the idea of a system that includes leads, autoresponder, and everything else necessary to start, but the price to join all of these programs was not just chump change. I invested over $200 before I figured out that this was not the system to invest in, lesson learned. If Pay It Forward 4 Profit had good solid leads that converted, I might still be there, but unfortunately that was not the case. I give this system a D. Great concept that does NOT deliver.
paradisefound's comment on EZ Wealth Solution ...
Tried it, didn't care much for it
I entered EZ Wealth about 8 months ago, my sponsor was someone I had met in another program. He filled me full of hype about the whole pay it forward aspect of the company being great and all. The problem I found is that the market is heavily saturated on this opportunity, not that that is a horrible thing, but it makes it extremely difficult to get signups. I had trouble with my credit card charging me an extra $20 every time I made a renewal with my alertpay account so I did not stick around in this program for long. I tried all the marketing methods in the back office that were free, only to never get a single sign up to this program. I am not saying that this is a bad program, but I will say that it is difficult to market to a saturated audience. I would not recommend this program to newbies.
paradisefound's comment on Vital Viral ...
A Year And No Downline With Vital Viral
I joined Vital Viral just over a year ago. I used their link cloaker and set about to garner some referrals. Unfortunately I still have not gotten even one referral to Vital Viral. As far as free downline builders go, this is one of the better sites. However, almost everyone on the internet and involved in internet marketing realizes that autoresponders are the way to go for building a list. Free list builders can build you a downline in some free programs, but to be able to effectively market to a list, it must be YOUR LIST, not a list builder. Most people that get involved with these free list builders pay absolutely no attention to any emails, therefore you are far better off with your own list using lead capture pages and an autoresponder. I do not recommend any free list builders to anyone.
paradisefound's comment on Keyword Elite ...
Not Impressed
I found a blog that was giving a two week free trial of KE2.0, so I figured I would try it. The layout of this software is great and very attractive, but when it comes to using it... not very impressive. Perhaps the paid version is better, but from what I am seeing in just two days of using it, I am better off with the Google keyword tool, Micro Niche Finder or Market Samurai! There are some cool features in KE2, but since I am not doing huge ppc campaigns or cpa offers, they are rendered useless for my needs.
Here is the big reason that I will never buy this software. I looked up some keywords relevant to sites that I have running, and the results shown by KE2 showed 10% of the traffic that all other keyword finders show. Now if it was only different from one of them, I could understand, but to undercut searches by 900%? That just does not ring true for me, so I cannot trust this software to even do keyword research with... what am I going to use it for? NOTHING!
paradisefound's comment on Advertyze.com ...
Some wonderful features, but very little responsiveness
I tried out the bronze level $2.95 7-day trial, then $29.95/month... This was a few weeks ago and I advertised a free to join business opportunity, with a whopping 2 sign ups for a mailing to 2,500 people. Needless to say, I canceled my free trial, luckily I did this in time to not be charged any more than the trial cost of $2.97.
I canceled because I felt that I should receive at least 8 signups to a totally free program from a mailing to a list of this size. The service really didn't fail, only the responsiveness of their list.
On the positive side for this company is that they give you detailed reports of how many people are opening your solo ad, so you get a decent idea of how well your headline is working and can figure out the conversion rate from there... Had this company's list been more responsive, I would have stuck with them because I truly enjoyed the features, but why spend so much a month when you can get the same results for free?
I do not recommend this advertising for anyone, I truly do not believe that expert copy writing could increase the responsiveness.
paradisefound's comment on Unique Article Wizard ...
This puts article spinners to shame
I have tried several article spinner and submitter combos in the past, but UniqueArticleWizard goes above and beyond the call of duty. I just signed up today and started distributing some articles, it is time consuming to rewrite each article three times, but the finished product speaks for itself, no extra punctuations, capitalizations, or funky gibberish with UAW. I believe that the extra hour necessary to make the articles come out looking perfect is well worth it, and with 10,000 sites that each article is submitted to... I cannot imagine it being any better than it is, well... other than the price being a bit steep. But $67 a month is not so bad if your competitive keywords are hitting the first page of Google.
I actually forgot to check here before purchasing this system... and I came here to submit it, I am so glad that I got lucky enough to research it far enough on my own and not get taken! Just a reminder to myself to always check IMRC before purchasing, and hopefully for everyone else who gets in a hurry like me ;)
paradisefound's comment on Yuwie ...
Do Not Expect to Make Big Bucks With Yuwie
I joined Yuwie 11 months ago, it was "the next big thing" due to the fact that they would pay revenue shares to members. I quickly built up my friends list to 75 friends and then somewhat plateaued, I didn't mind the slow down because I wanted to see what the revenue sharing program would look like. After two months I had accrued $. 01 from Yuwie. I guess this is okay, if you enjoy the service and can get all your friends to use it with you, but I was more interested in the making money aspect, and that amount did not cut it.
The social network works okay, a little slow on profile loads and mail, but all in all it was not bad. The blogging section worked great, and was perfect for listing any make money programs you may be involved in, links to all programs are permitted here in the blog section. If the site worked just a little faster and made money for members a little quicker... I would probably still use it, as it is, I have not used it in about 4 months. As you can tell, the contacts made there were not spectacular enough to keep me coming back. So if you are joining Yuwie to make money from revenue sharing, just know up front that you will need a hundred thousand friends to start making anything resembling decent money from the revenue sharing.
paradisefound's comment on Tube Mogul ...
Tube Mogul does very well for a free to use service
I started doing video marketing with traffic geyser, but since I only have one website to get backlinks for and am just beginning some advertising campaigns... the $99 a month was just too steep for me. So I signed up with Tube Mogul a week ago, for a free service it does pretty well, but does not send to near so many video sites as geyser did. All in all I was able to send to 8 video sites with tube mogul as a free user. Not too bad for a free service. Tube Mogul takes a little longer for uploading videos to be distributed, but once again... it is a free service. I give Tube Mogul a solid B rating, if you are just beginning to use video marketing, it is the perfect place to start. I have learned a lot in the past month of video marketing and recommend it to everyone, and as long as you are not planning to post 3 videos a day, Tube Mogul is a great place to learn the ins and outs of video marketing.
paradisefound's comment on Jeff Johnson ...
Jeff Johnson has some great insight
I have not been able to afford one of Jeff's courses, they are extremely expensive, but I have been on his mailing list for a few months now. His blog alone is worth paying to visit, it is full of great information that we all need for our businesses. Whether you are marketing a product or a website, his information will increase your traffic. His latest audio of how one of his students went from 0 to 70k in 7 days is a must.
Some of the ideas discussed in his blog are easy to follow for the newbie, whereas some may be over your head, but worth hearing about and investigating. I can honestly say that my knowledge as well as my bottom line are increasing by being on his list. I hope someday to be able to purchase his high priced courses and learn a lot more from him.
paradisefound's comment on Frank Kern ...
Frank Kern makes himself easy to relate to as a beginning marketer
Frank Kern is smart, that is what it all boils down to. His down to earth style is probably all his own, and his humor cannot be faked. The most impressive thing I see about Frank is that he is smart enough to interview guys like Tony Robbins and get the motivational aspect into his message so that people see that he is not just all about the money. I was just visiting his blog last night and see that he has come out with a new product, showing how to advertise PPC for as little as 12 cents a click. My partner is trying the 30 days for a dollar, so I will be happy to learn about this new "screw google" program, that is what Frank named it! I would love to see his products at a more affordable price, but I would never expect him to sell himself short either. Newbies need to pay attention when Frank Kern talks because there is always a useful nugget of information in there that you can put to use to increase your earnings, just have to pay attention.
paradisefound's comment on Sqip ...
Many of the messages from squip are in another language
I joined Sqip when it first launched it's 100 pep revenue sharing package, and have been waiting ever since for any sign of life from this company. I do receive messages from Sqip, but they are in another language. So other than what I read when I signed up and what I am now reading here at IMRC, I really don't know what they are up to or when they will become a viable site. I liked the idea they presented in the beginning, and that was my reason to sign up. However, I did not promote the company because I wanted to see what would become of it. I am glad to hear it is making improvements, but it sure would be nice to see how the site will actually function and whether it is going to be predominant force in the social networking world. I am a bit wary of any company that starts out with the idea to sell off right from the get go, but it was free, so I can't complain.
paradisefound's comment on Trek Pay ...
Trek Pay pays members to defraud Google Adsense
I stumbled across some blogs advertising Trek Pay a few days ago, and with seeing the great payment proofs I was immediately interested. So I signed up and went to make some money. Sadly what I found is that Trek Pay pays you to go to advertisers sites and click on Adsense ads listed at these sites. Trek Pay gets a percentage of the profit that advertisers with adsense receive from Google. With absolutely no incentive for signing up to a site clicked on, or even caring about anything but what you will get paid... the conclusion is quite obvious, Trek Pay is paying members to defraud Google Adsense.
I immediately closed my account and requested that my account be deleted, because I make money from Google Adsense advertising on my blogs and websites. I want nothing to do with any company that is defrauding Google, and I advise everyone that is involved to get out now or there may be serious consequences.
paradisefound's comment on Triple Your List ...
Might be ok if you are importing to an autoresponder
I joined Triple Your List over a year ago, and I was diligent about attempting to contact every lead I received for a couple of months. But with no autoresponder, it was slow and tedious. I never had a single response to my efforts, not to my main email address (that I sent from) or to any of the free to join offers I sent. I spent a couple of months doing this before I decided that my efforts were completely futile. I rate Triple Your List as pretty lame, but if you have an autoresponder that you can import the leads into... perhaps you could make a sale eventually, but it hardly seems worth the effort. You are far better off setting up a lead capture page, the results will be much more effective.
paradisefound's comment on Free Press Release ...
Press Releases From Free-Press-Release Rank Easily, but not for long
I have been using Free-Press-Release for almost a year. These press releases rank very quickly and very easily in the search engines. However, they disappear in a hurry also, so plan on doing some serious bookmarking of your press release to get it to remain in a good ranking position.
Free-Press-Release Tip:
If you mention the benefits of Free-Press-Release.com in your blog or on a website, you can get a $10 bonus credited to your Free-Press-Release account, this will allow you to make your link clickable and give you the option to pay a little for each release, in the hopes of getting more publicity. You will also have more tools and options when using the paid service for your press releases.
I recommend this service for all internet marketers. Competitors charge a whole lot more per release, so this will give you a chance to perfect your skills at no cost.
paradisefound's comment on LinkReferral ...
Link Referral is a Must!
I have been a free member at Link Referral for almost a year now and have had better results there than any other free advertising method I have found. Yes, you do have to commit some time to this site in order to keep your site in the top listings, but 20-30 minutes a day for 15-20 views is not bad, depending on the type of site you list with LR. One word of caution about LR is that you are not supposed to advertise a site with adsense ads on it, it is against the TOS for both LR and Adsense and may result in getting both accounts banned!
Clicking 30 sites a day at LR is quick and can be informative, in fact it was through this medium that I found the blog leading me to IMRC. The 5 reviews necessary are a little more time consuming, but also can be quite fun as you are able to critique the work of others. You also must make a forum post and add a favorite each day, these things are a must to keep you at the top of your specified directory. Posting in the forum can be a bit daunting at first, but with so many topics it is fairly easy to find something you care to post about. And forum posting is a must in the marketing world for getting your site into some traffic, so I really do not mind this feature.
I give Link Referral an A+ for results and interaction with fellow marketers. I have found some great advice and some great programs just by being a member and keeping my site on top. Not to mention sign ups, I use LR for every Program I market. Right now I have a blog there advertising IMRC and it is getting terrific reviews and feedback. I wholeheartedly recommend Link Referral to everyone!
paradisefound's comment on Your Lucky List ...
If You Don't Have Referrals... You Might as Well Send Mail to Yourself!
I joined Your Lucky List over a year ago and still receive mail from them. The problem is that I cannot send mail to anyone since I have not referred members to the program. This is far from the description of this site and service. They claim that you will be put into different matrix positions and able to mail the entire matrix below you. Sounds great, but if you do not refer then there is never anyone to send to. The wording in the description of this service would lead you to believe that you get placed in a different position every so often and are thus able to mail members that you did not refer. Unfortunately, that never happened for me. Upon realizing this, I did not even try to refer anyone, perhaps there is an undisclosed minimum of referrals before you are placed above other members or perhaps the entire idea is a hoax meant to lure list builders to the service. There are far better places to advertise, no need to waste your effort on this one.
paradisefound's comment on AdClickMedia ...
Must Have HTML Knowledge to Upload to Your Site
I just finished signing up to AdClickMedia after reading the review here. I am always looking for more ways to monetize my sites. The sign up process was routine for this type of site, with a full field of information given to them before gaining access to the main site. An important aspect of the sign-up is mandatory phone verification. I have not received my verification call yet, but ads are already showing on the blogspot that I used to try this site out. At only 2.5 cents a click it will take a lot of traffic to meet the $50 minimum cashout, but when they do not have an ad to display per the fields you request, they will advertise AdClickMedia and you may get a referral out of the deal.
The blogspot that I used to try this service out is the same one that I advertise IM Report Card with, so it is getting quite a bit of traffic right now. My blogspot was immediately approved or so I assume since the ads are showing on it already.
You must have some knowledge of HTML for inserting the code onto your site. I have just an inkling of an idea of HTML and was able to insert the code and have the ad show up. So it doesn't take an HTML professional just a little bit of knowledge at inserting code will get you by here. You can customize the way the ad looks and the background, link, border, title colors, very similar to Google Adsense.
paradisefound's comment on Traffic Splash ...
Simple Traffic Exchange
I joined Traffic Splash close to a year ago, my sponsor recommended it. This is a very simple site with very little chance of confusion. The pages load very easily and the timer is quite adequate. I have never seen a flood of converting traffic from any traffic exchange, but Traffic Splash functions just fine. For those of you that are just getting into marketing with traffic exchanges, I suggest that you join a traffic team, so that it is not just your effort alone getting your site exposure but the entire team's effort. This can make a drastic difference when it comes to the amount of credits you have and the amount of time you will spend surfing on traffic exchanges.
paradisefound's comment on SFI Marketing Group ...
I give it a C because I was totally green
SFI was one of the first programs I ever tried online. It was about 4 years ago now, and I upgraded to the EA position in order to take advantage of the "awesome payplan". I was totally green and had no clue what internet marketing was all about, so I am not going to lay all the blame on this company, but I never made a penny. My monthly payments went out to them, but I never received any back. Being a complete newbie, I really had no idea how to market. I might do a bit better now, but it looks like this is still a very difficult company to make a living promoting. Certainly not the program for the new marketer to try.
paradisefound's comment on Safe Mail Services ...
Easy to use, but fails when it comes to opening rate
I purchased safe mail services for $34.95 about 11 months ago. I used an adtracker for my ads to see what the response rate was from this service. The average clicks to my offer was 4-7 a day. When sending to 3 million prospects daily I would hope for at least 100 clicks per mailing, but safe mail services just did not deliver. Out of those 4-7 clicks per day I never received a single sign up. I still have it, since the price is a one time fee, but I rarely use it after seeing such poor results. The service is very easy to use and even saves up to 3 ad copies, but just does not deliver where it counts.
paradisefound's comment on List Joe ...
ListJoe works the best for safe list advertising
Even though List Joe is a safe list, and operates the same as most safe lists, some how they come out on top. I have been using this service for about a year and see far better results with them than any other safe list provider. It sounds like I need to start using a lead capture page though, because with a replicated website link I usually average about 3-4% open rate, compared with the 7% open rate I am hearing about for lead capture pages. I am obviously leaving money on the table, so a lead capture page is coming soon for my List Joe efforts.
paradisefound's comment on Viral Coop ...
I reveived a lot of impressions, but no sales
About 10 months ago I tried this program, they had a one dollar trial for 14 or 30 days, I can't remember which, I have tried so many that are similar. The short of it is that the back office for this system was wonderful, and I received lots of impressions for my ads, but no sign ups or sales and that is really what this business is all about. If all I needed was impressions to make me rich, this system would have done it, but sadly we all depend on sign ups and sales. I do have a bit more experience now, but I fear that it was not an issue of experience, but of a community of clickers rather than buyers. I do not suggest this program for anyone needing sign ups right away, but it might do okay for the long haul.
paradisefound's comment on SEM Rush ...
SemRush free Firefox Addon
I currently use the free firefox add on for SemRush and love it. A really nice feature is that you can turn it off and on through the tools menu on firefox, so you do not have to do your normal browsing with keywords popping up all over. This is a fantastic tool for keeping up to date on what keywords are being used in your niche in order to capitalize on all aspects of your niche. This means more money in your pocket! Even if you are not currently running a PPC campaign this information is very valuable and can add up to a lot of extra cash in your pocket.
paradisefound's comment on Shawn Casey ...
Shawn Casey's newbie training gets a D
I purchased Shawn's biz in a box and mining gold as a completely green newbie. Although the writing was in layman's terms, I had no idea how to go about following the directions. Now, a couple years later and with some experience I might actually get it, but for the complete newbie the steps seem impossible feats. Another problem I have is that now the whole biz in a box is a freebie, had I known at the time I would have invested in something else and waited for the free product. Personally, I will not purchase another program from this guy, but I might still take a look at a freebie from him.
paradisefound's comment on ...
EZ2x2 Does not live up to it's name when it comes time to market it
The EZ2x2 program is very inexpensive to get started with, but when it comes to marketing this program it is far from easy! I joined right after the initial launch and have had absolutely no success in referring anyone to this program. One of the biggest drawbacks to this system was that soon after I joined, they started making big changes, including doing away with the major site that everyone was supposed to be feeding into Set2Retire. Both companies looked great to begin with, but when it came time to market this product it was like hitting a brick wall. It seemed as if market saturation was hit within 2 weeks of launch and no one was getting in after that. I do not have a problem with the program itself, but then again, I didn't get anything out of it either.
paradisefound's comment on Six Figure Yearly ...
Barely Worth the Time it took to go through the package
This was the very first sales pitch I ever fell for, of course I was as new as new gets when it comes to internet marketing, and I fell for the hype. The big problems that I have with this program is that they advertise that this system is all you need, then when you get it, you find out that you have to invest in adwords to make money, and if you do not, you are not eligible for a refund. The second major malfunction is that the adwords guide can be found for free on the internet, little does anyone know when purchasing this course that all it is, is adwords for beginners. I do not recommend this program to anyone!

Traffic Geyser Succeeds in Capturing High Rankings for Videos
Traffic Geyser is a bit daunting at first, but after a few hours of video training it is off to the races, the search engine races that is. I have published many videos in just 10 days of owning the Traffic Geyser system, and many of them have taken first page ranking in the search engines. It certainly works better for long tailed keywords and lower exact phrase matches, but I have some videos ranking on the first page with very high exact phrase matches also, so I would say that this software does exactly what it should and what they claim it can do.
With the Gold membership it does not submit to hundreds of sites, but it does get videos submitted to a minimum of 20 video sites usually, as there are always log in and upload failures to contend with. Then there are the bookmarking service sites along with podcast sites, so you can expect around 35-40 back links per submission. You can also do timed submissions, this just keeps the back links coming to your page or website and is a necessity for getting page rank for your static site. The web presence that Traffic Geyser is able to pull is just phenomenal, I have a video for UFO MLM that has 8 out of 10 first page rankings on Google and 9 out of 10 on Yahoo search, not too shabby in my book.
I would recommend this product to anyone needing back links or a web presence for their site. As far as signing up for multiple accounts, it is painstaking, but well worth the time.

Mass Article Control Was a Bit of a Let Down
I purchased Mass Article Control when it first came out. The videos certainly made it look great and simple. The problem is that they did now show the finished product, after spinning an article I have to go back through the entire article to find where the creator has added extra letters to words and capitalized other words. Using the product is fairly simple, and creating a dozen spun copies is not too difficult, but the time spent proofreading and correcting the work of the spinner is quite mundane.
The article submitter works alright, I only have the original that only submits to 10 directories, but it is almost as fast to submit by hand when only going to so few directories.
All in all this product is okay for populating blogs for back links and a web presence, but other than that it falls short of what a professional marketer needs in a quality product.
