I have been using some of the techniques that Ross Goldberg recommends for a while now. I have had Ross on a teleseminar and the one thing I know is that his techniques work well.

Here is an example. Sunday I launched a new product in fact my quite biased review is in the next post down ;-) . Well with the techniques I have implemented one of my blogs was #1 on Google for the book title in about 2 hours from the time the post was made.

Google ranking

Now Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane is the best source of implementing all of the Web 2.0 techniques in one place. More importantly, Ross will show you how to properly link all of them to generate traffic to any site you want.

He covers all of the types in one place.

  1. Squidoo
  2. Social bookmarking
  3. MySpace
  4. You Tube
  5. Blogging
  6. and much more

There are scripts to maximize the usage, videos to show you step by step how to do it and all at a price that in my opinion is way too low.

See I was lucky and as Ross is a friend so I have been testing these and when he told me the price I thought he was nuts. Not sure how long he will keep it at this price point so I would definitely recommend that you check it out at once.

It really doesn’t matter if you are into Adsense, affiliate marketing or selling your own product. You need traffic and what Ross teaches will get you more traffic.

Okay right off the bat. This can’t possibly be an unbiased review. I do try and only recommend products and services that I use and to point out any little downfalls in them so you get an honest review. Well can’t do that today as I created this and if I found what I thought to be a flaw I fixed it. Did I get them all probably not.

However, if you are looking to build a list this is a great primer and it will also show you the little things that will allow you to monetize all the steps.

Once you have the monetization in place you can afford to spend more and really build your list quicker. That is the key to leverage your efforts.

I priced at an affordable price so that anyone that is serious can access the information for less than $10. I did this primarily to allow any one that is serious to get a copy and implement these strategies. I even set it up that you can immediately resell the book at 100% paid directly to you. You can actually get your money back almost immediately and if you have a list make a nice profit.

Instant Article Wizard – Great time saver

If you use articles to market and you should be, this is a great time and money saver.

I have used PLR articles and rewritten them for ages. This tool will cut down both my time and expense in creating articles.

It is easy to use and actually can be a great idea generator if you use it properly. Put in your keyword and it will sort content for that word and create the subtopics. Occasionally the subtopics have shown me areas I didn’t even consider in certain niches.

If you use articles in your marketing than this will give you a great ROI.

If you are not using articles then this is not for you.

Instant Squeeze Page GeneratorFor quite a while I have understood and taught that building your list is the main thing that you need to do first. I did not do that for the first 2 years I tried to build a business online and one of the reasons was not understanding how to create the system.

To have a successful list building campaign you need to create a squeeze page or lead capture page. You really need a good reason for someone to give you their email. Usually this is some kind of ethical bribe such as a free book, a free course or free piece of software.

Now the newer marketer may not have the skills to create the report, create the actual page and host it. This is why despite knowing that building a list is important people just don’t or can’t do it.

This changes today as Robert Puddy has just launched Instant Squeeze Page Generator.

You can see a video on just how simple it is at Mike Paetzold Recommends.

I have been testing this product and you can create a quality squeeze page with point and click simplicity. They host it and even provide a selection of free reports that they deliver. You can use this and the only thing you need to have is an autoresponder for the subscriber to sign up to.

Best of all the price is right. FREE!!!

Now Robert is a marketer and there is a one time offer that offers even more value. You can actually get a fiull business in a box as he calls it. You get a product that you can sell, an email series for it and you get paid directly to your Paypal account.

The free offer is a no brainer in my opinion and if you don’t have a product of your own you should consider the one time offer.


I nave been beta testing this and managed to get in on the action and I have to say this thing is pretty hot…

At its essence its a wordpress site generator. It allows you to easily make and customize a powerful wordpress blog niche site, the same kind that Andrew talked about in his last report, Niche Marketing On Crack.

If you haven’t seen the sales letter yet, Andrew’s got some pretty great testimonials from people who have had success making these kind of blogs… One lady did $800 in her first month, another guy did $250 in his first couple of weeks etc There is no question that these blogs work.

The thing is that all those great results were from BEFORE this software was available and it took people days to make niche sites like that. With Niche Empire Generator it can take as little as 5 minutes to crank out a site that powerful.

You can load posts up to be made at a date in the future. This means you can get updated content on your sites for weeks even months to come without the use of crappy scraped content from RSS feeds and WITHOUT the use of crons.

You can do plenty to customize your blog, you can easily add your own header graphic, add features like opt in forms or images in the side bar, you can easily add your favorite themes and plugins. This means that even though Andrew designed it for following his Niche Marketing On Crack sites it adapts quite readily to handle any type of Word Press blog.

It has a place for you where you can keep track of everything you have done to promote the site. Normally when you make more than a few sites you lose track of what you have done to which site, which needs more promotion, which needs an article submitted for it etc etc. With this feature you can monitor it all and know exactly what needs to happen when! You control everything from one place. Guess this Old Bald Guy won’t lose his notes now.

You never have to login to 20, 30 or more WP control panels to edit sites in your empire, you can do it all from one place. You can upgrade to the latest version, add a new plugin and more from the control panel.

Perhaps most of all, when I first saw Niche Empire Generator I thought it’d still be a pain to generate all the content I need for those sites but luckily Andrew provided a mountain of PLR content for you to start with.

All in all a great piece of software whether you use the Niche Marketing On Crack techniques or just want to use it for maintaining your own Word Press blogs.

If you haven’t guessed it yet I’m giving Niche Empire Generator my full endorsement.

Creating things like ratings is how you add more interactivity on your blog. Make it easy for people to give you there input and they usually will.

You are actually seeing this Word Press plugin right now. Rating Dominator is what allows you to not only rate the various posts but also comment on helpful the various comments are that have been left.

The plugin is free (does require a signup though)and there are great tutorials both written and video on installing it in the members area that you sign up for.

Jason also has some themes that are for sale that are already integrated with the plugin in it. This theme is one of them. I can tell you that I have installed the themes preconfigured and they are as easy to set up as any other theme I have used.

I have also installed the plugin to other themes and although not hard because of the great tutorials it is a bit time consuming. Now I install custom blogs and usually add most plugins as part of the package. This will be one of a few that has an additional charge because of the time involved.

Personally, I bought the themes and was glad that I did.

You can find out more about Rating Dominator here.

If you are looking to make your blog easily interactive this is a great plugin to add.


When I first saw this book the title kept me from even looking closely at it. Now that may just be because I am old and bald. But fortunately, a friend whonm I trust persuaded me to look at this.

Boy am I ever glad I did.

Just the section on finding a niche was worth the price. It shows you a relatively quick way to set up little sites that can quickly become profitable for a few hours work. The ease of doing this makes it a great process even for a beginner.

Now each site won’t make you rich but if you create a string of little sites that each make $100-300 a month you can quite easily replace your JOB if that is your goal.

If you are tired of trying to sell to other marketers and are looking for a way to add little income streams that can be set up in a few hours this is definitely worth checking out.

That is my opinion what is yours?


Outside of the three necessities for any marketer (tracking, an autoresponder and hosting) the ability to create pages that you are going to host is probably right up there.

Now there are a wide variety of tools available to do this. Hell, you can even hire someone to do it full time if you can afford it. If you can’t then this program from Marlon Sanders is a must have.

I have to say when Marlon was developing this product and was stating what all it would allow you to do I thought here we go with another outrageously priced system and to do all those things the learning curve is going to be HUGE.

Boy was I ever wrong on both items.

See one of the problems most of us have is figuring out what we need and what we don’t. Marlon stopped that when it comes to Design Dashboard. It provides everything you need to know about and in easy to understand chunks (for lack of a better word) to start with an idea and have a page on line that you can be proud of.

See this will walk you through a variety of easy steps.
Design Dashboard

Each one just takes you through a simple task in an orderly step by step fashion. Where needed there are videos that will show you the process. Really important with some of the graphical tricks shown.

Now those that know me understand that I hate playing with graphics. It is an outsource item for me. My graphics guy loves that I am that way. That being said I have made some graphics that I would never have even attempted using the steps in here.

It only happens when I am in a time crunch as I still don’t like doing it but it is nice to be able to when necessary. Especially as good graphics guys get busy and if I only want to make a simple addition I hate to wait 3 or 4 days let alone a week or more.

More importantly Marlon has overdelivered in the information on what each piece of the page should be doing. Simple things like adding graphics to increase conversion, adding an autoresponder form and much more.

He doesn’t skip any steps. He really overdelivers and undercharges for this product.

Now the only downside is that two of the programs he recommends you use are only available as a 30 day trial. Despite that downside the total package including the upgrades after the trials is less than half of the cost of some of the design software available out there. Of course in typical Marlon fashion this is clearly stated in his sales letter too.

I always hate when I buy something that then needs other things to be bought and you get those surprises. Obviously, Marlon does too.

If you already are a pro with graphics and web design then this is not for you. (Although I will say the tips on conrstructing your sales pages still make it a worthwhile purchase.)

But everyone else really can and will benefit from this product.
