Internet Marketing Brainstorming!

OK. Let’s just say this guy deserves guru status. Why? 1) He is forthcoming with information, 2) He sells it affordably. 3) He gives details on what works and why.

This is by Pawel, the same autor of Free Affilliate Income generator. I was already re-studying that book when he released this one… so I got it immediately based on the total genius of that book.

Let’s just say that this one is to On-Site/On-Page SEO what F.A.I.G is to Off-Site SEO. In other words (focusing maily on google) he has discovered through testing what google likes or doesnt like on your web page. There’s very little overlap with FAIG. Simply put, these 2 books are about all you need to be able to apply off page & on page SEO. Period. I seriously do not see me purchasing anything else on SEO… I have definitely bought enough.
Now I gotta figure out how to implement them into my page generation :-)
This one also gets a 10/10 and you will not believe the price! I am still amazed.

Honestly speaking, these last 2 ebooks are changing the way I am going to be doing affillitate marketing from now on.
Hint: One page… well SEO’d with great backlinks that has affilliate links for a niche product = top SE placement…

Okay, finally got it: (Referred to it a while back)
Here’s my thoughts… I have a lot of thoughts lol. I always give my opinion on Products whether I like them or not.
I mentioned earlier that I was interested in getting this. The reason was, I was already working on a ’super duper’ linking technique using information I had gotten from all over the place including a couple of WSOs (Warrior Special Offers).

I was ALREADY setting up what I call S.L.F’s “Silo or Spiral Link Farms”. The goal was to generate back links for my generated sites. I was almost done, till I found Squidoo and knew I had to place it into the mix. Its that powerful. So I added it as the main ingredient.
Then I was stuck… had a couple questions.
Then saw this WSO.
Then I got it.
And read it.
And love it: it answers the last questions I was about to experiment with.

At first I wondered why so few reviews were coming in and I guessed it was because it involes WORK. I knew because I was already building my own SLF’s. Well,…. I was right. It takes WORK. to set it up. But… it is work that uses multiple methods that… work! And some in a way you most likely did not know how to set up.
So for me, I was already doing the work, and this cleared up any doubts I had about it. The BEST part was I was doing it almost exactly to the T as it is in the book. This was confirmation that it’s all sound stuff.

Its like 2 WSO I got recently blended with blogging to the bank blended with S.B.F’s blended with stuff that will give you good rankings :-)

Recommended with no hesitations. The best part is I was doing it already! lol. So this means I WILL be using it (especially since I’ve figured already some ways to automate most of it – MACROS ANYONE!!! Don’t call me the macro pimp for nuthin’). In the book, Pawel tells you not to let it sit and do nothing. I have a feeling many people will simply do that because of the time it takes. Dont get it if you are “too busy” with other stuff to make money i.e fucking around in forums and downloading ebooks looking for the next big secret that will make you rich.. Get it if you are serious and ready for a system that has sound principles behind it that will work.

Yeah I can be a mouthy little motherfucker sometimes, but hey this time its for a good reason. 10/10 is my rating for this little bad boy.

PGI aka Page Generation Insider is opening soon, with a new version 2.0.
Simply put PGI is the best paid membership site around. It’s the only one I’ve ever paid for for more than a month.

Tools, videos, custom scripts not found anywhere, and the search button lol. It had its ups and downs but the owner, Adam, shut down for a minute, regrouped & is back with more stuff – more strategy beyond just ‘adsense sites’ (ex: free lead generation videos for members!). There is a limit to membership: 500 and there are alrady many members in there so there is a waiting list, but I find it always worth it.

I got a pre-release copy of RSS Bookmarker and like it a lot.
What it does is it bookmarks ALL your links (internal money pages, subdomains – every page you have) from an RSS FEED.

It bookmarks them to Social bookmarking sites for which you’ve set up an account.
Slow drip style.
This is huge because you do NOT dump all your liks at once (spam) you set a schedule on a cron job (the program gives the cron command to use), and forget it!

Well it turns out Anthony (the programmer) has a bonus called RSS Feed Generator (which I think he will release as a separate standalone script) that spiders any site for you….. so guess what I did -
Tip: Spider your sitemap pages to create the feed, then the program automatically ftp’s the xml feed to the location you specify.
Then place that URL into RSS Bookmarker and …. you are auto posting to your social bookmark accounts on a schedule.

Things to note:

* Script is expensive…but it works perfectly.
* RSS Feed Generator takes a while to spider really large sitemaps, but it does do the job
* The sales is limited to 500 copies

I do recommend it for the simple reason that when you have a lot of pages, you can’t use the desktop applications without being flagged for spamming because they have to be bookmarked all at once! I do have a great desktop tool, but have to limit my posting with it to indexing only purposes by limiting the pages I bookmark.
With RSS Bookmarker, it does it over time for ALL your pages, which is what the SE’s want to see.

No need to remind you that they want to see (1) gradual growth of (2) one way backlinks (3) to your internal pages – all of which give you higher rankings.

Hope thats useful.

I’m putting this up more as a reminder to get this later.

Found it interesting…. and from looking around it involves using Squidoo to create SEO traffic to affilliate programs… which sounds interesting to me.

The final review is for iOpus Internet Macros

It works th ebest for internet browser related stuff, where you need to fill out or interact with any website repeatedly. Even thought its expensive, I intend to use it in addition to Automate 6. Becaue its faster to program – you simply record yourself doing the task, then make sure you have the info you want in a csv file, I will use it for large scale stufff- like setting up posts to RSS to Blog or SEO Blog Builder…. ;-)

But for simple browser tasks, I will use Automate 6.

Automation Anywhere: Best for use with desktop stuff.

My tests seemed to work better because of better options than any of the others previously.

Basically, this is the best of all the macro programs I’ve previewed. by far. And the cost is reeasonable for what it does.
I love this program. It is basically Workspace Macro with more power. made by the same company, but it has more oprions.

It came down to this one and Automate 6….well, this one still wasnt perfect & difficult to decipher why. But it has commenting ability…which allowed me to make notes as I used it. i then discovered its one flaw…it is too “sensitive”. You have to program everyhting including waiting for a page to load before moving to the next step. not that it was impossible, its just that it took a while to do and a few test runs to accomplish the tasks.

Also had to create several lines to perform one task.. But it could be done with practice & patience. But this is truly a high end program – highly recommended if you cannot afford…..

Automate6: Best for use with desktop stuff AND internet stuff!!!

The test I used was “RSS Submit” test. Basically setting up a task to automate the submission of RSS feeds for my sites using RSS Submit. This program is very similar to Automation Anywhere, but seems to have a ’smoother’ transition, as well as comments, and…no error on the closing of the csv file. Has a few more options meaning less keyboard strokes….like ‘focus window’ ‘maximiz’ close’ window. neat. But is it worth the 900 dollar price diff?

Well, after more testing….no errors at all! wow. What took me 12 hours on the other program (mostly due to more steps has taken me maybe four? with breaks. Truthfully, making errors with the Automate Anywhere & trying to fix them has helped me get this process down better. But…..this is smoother. automate anywhere sometimes has a little ’sensitivity to using the mouse position. Automate doesn’t. No errors so far!!! ‘maybe’ this ‘might’ be worht the difference…at least to me, because I am tired of having to try different ways to overcome a keystroke issue. And I haven’t had to enter “wait” or pause” so far… wow. And the “instructions” are almost like comments themselves so I dont have to write a comment for every single line. And the stupid “Save As’ error I get with Automate Anywhere is non-existent!!. it saves the topmost box ! I am getting really impressed now….but I’m still thinking…nine hundred dollars….ouch.
The more I use it, the more impressed I am…it is definitely easier to learn than all the others because almost everything can be found in one of the “macro menus”.

The only obstacle to whether I get it is the quality of support. I had heard they are really good with supoort and can even log into your computer to help you create macrose remotely! If so, thats great, but I also read on the site that they offer “paid” phone support. Not great, but email support comes with it. So we’ll see. I have a demo scheduled which is great, but I had preciously called AND emailed AND requested a demo & never heard from them which isnt great, but as soon as I downloaded the trial, the called & emailed me multiple times!!! So….we’ll see, but I am quite sure I will be settling on this despite the $900 dollar difference, because its more accurate than Automation Anywhere and takes less steps to figure out & accomplish the same tasks.

Variables in Automate:
1) Determine the variable you would like to use later (use a name to help you remember) – “Create Variable”???
2) At the begining of your loop, that’s where you determine what the variable is. So open the loop command & set it there.
3) At the point where you’re using it, thats when you determine WHERE the info/objects in the variable come from???

Loops in Automate:
1) Usually for loops, you seemingly ALWAYS hgave to set the looping function just before AND just after the Loop command, so it opens up what you want before looping, and continues to loop without having to close it.
2) The loop function definitely “tells” the program what the variable is

For everything to do with desktops, Automate is king. However for internet browser stuff, it will share duties with IIM. Why? well, Automate can indeed work with excel into browsers, but it takes a little trial and error to set it up is there is a lot of info to process.

With a lot of info to process I believe will make a csv copy of my excel file, then use IIM. However for a little info or for one browser, I’ll use Automate.

Decided to drop in a few quick reviews before i get into the meat of things. I am quite methodical in my assessment of these tools an how I use them. Basically whay I’m doing it using each one ot create tasks that I already need automation for. Which in my case is mostly in the pormotional side of thngs. Using linktator to get links, spidering and adding them, etc.

So this way, I’m doing useful tests which if they work will have me set up th eprocesses I need.
So…
Macro Express: This one I bought, not caus I wanted to, cos I had to. I had used up the 30 day free trial and I reemember it recorded my actions and I wanted to dig deeper so I had to buy it for $39.95. Well……it aint worth it. the only thing good about it is the recorder. Actually its not bad. The way these programs work is either by recording your mose and keyboard strokes, or by programming commands that will perform those strokes for you. After quick tests, it’s obvious that programming them is the far better option since macros are dumb and if you record yourself opening up a screen and clicking a menu, if you happen to move that screen or its position in the start menu, the macro will open something else up.

So the first test is what “macro menu” is there? Well Macro Express has A LOT. and that may seem impressive, but……they do not flow as well as some of the otheres.

Robotask: – sucks. It’s $99.95. Not worth it. macro Express is better. They are about the same functionality, but Macro express helps you set the mouse movements better than Robotask does. it doesnt give me an easy way to capture mouse co-ordinates. I gave up after the first two comands when I could immediately tell it doesnt have as much features as Automate Anywhere. i thought it would be between robotask and Automate6. i was wrong. Its gonna be between Automate 6 & Automation anywhere. hell…Robotaks has a 184 page manual!!! and it dont do all the shit AA can. Too bad, but hey thats the way it goes. One of my main tests is whether a product is fairly intuitive from the ghet go…ie WITHOUT having to refer to a huge manual. Robotask’s is HUUUUGE and has way more detail than I care for. I prefer a progam I can almost start using immediately.

The theres Workspace Macro Pro: AHA…now we’re talking some real macro power. The level of detail is beeter….even though….you have less “macro menu options” . The thing is its in the same price range as macro express, and its waaaay better than macro express or robotask, so in the $40 – $100 price range, Workspace macro is the one to take. Every menu in the macro has a level of detail to it that makes it seem like it has more options that the immediately obvious ones on the left hand menu. so of thesr three, Workspace Macro is by far the best…even more so that Robotask.

Next review will be between Automation Anywhere (workspace Macro’s “big brother”) and Automate 6.
By the way i found another couple lol:

Quick Macros, and
WinBatch
