I got my Christmas present from Google today. Sent only to Premium Adsense publishers, constisting of a non religious Christmas card, a funky box and a digital photo frame. Last year it was a wireless mouse and the year before that it was a radio.

Considering I have made Google many thousands of dollars it’s not much, but it’s the thought that counts. I don’t remember Dr Pepper sending me a card after being a loyal customer.

Here is a pic of the box and photo frame, that’s one of my paintings in the background.

The Dan Kennedy Superconference 2007 is open for business.

Here is a clip from the site.

Recently, I polled the members of just one of my coaching groups, and they reported combined personal income increases over the past 2 years of $19-million to $22-million. My best estimates of my Platinum Members, ‘private clients’ and members of Bill’s coaching groups would easily take the total beyond $150-million to $200- million. There’s simply no way of estimating the total of all Inner Circle Members, but it undoubtedly exceeds a Billion Dollars.

Clickbank introduces tracking code.

Hopefully this will make it easier to track where your buyers come from. Hooked up with Adwords traking it could prove very useful.

It may be more difficult to track what the super affiliates are upto now, but we will have to wait and see.

The redesigned account management system includes updated navigation, more comprehensive reporting, and new application features to enhance your productivity while managing your account(s). The promotion tracking enhancement allows affiliates to add an 8-character tracking code to the hoplink and order process, providing the ability to accurately track and manage their campaigns. The transaction analytics beta is a tool for fundamental business analysis. Both vendors and affiliates will benefit from the visibility this feature provides into their business, product and partner performance.

I have been running keyword elite to see who are running ads for which keywords. Here are some of the results.

I will be reporting further results to my email list.

The Keyword “burn DVD” has thrown up interesting results. Going on the basis that those ads which run and run are successful it seems that the review sites win the day.

The next keyword is “burn the fat feed the muscle”, which is a new ebook on exactly what it says. As you can see, some ads have ran for 14 days, which must mean that they are profitable.

The smallassforsale url has a pre sell page with a bonus if you buy through his clickbank link. This is a very effective technique and has been talked about in Affiliate Project X. When I buy it’s usually because of a killer pre sale and a useful bonus.

I will be continuing my keyword elite reports through my email list.

When I get set up I will be publishing video lessons as well.

I have been receiving a lot of email regarding Build an Empire, which is the new business venture from Paul Smithson of XSite Pro fame.

Andre Chaperon, Ewan Chia and Rich Schefren have all sent glowing reviews and that this is the thing to get into.

From what I gather it is an uber affiliate system allowing you to sell digital books. There are only a 1,000 positions and the fact the the above super affiliates are raving about it means it will probably sell out very quickly. The cost is not clear at this time, but it sounds like it’s several hundred pounds a year with a commision of 30%.

From the people promoting it and the experience behind it, it’s probably going to be a winner. I’m not going to be signing up though. Not because of the cost but because of time and focus. Better to stick with the things you are already doing than to hop around from opportunity to opportunity.

5 Cool, Internet Marketing Blogs

Adventures in Net Marketing
Kaizen Marketing
WHO-1
Andre Chaperon
Andrew Wee

Why have I chosen these guys instead of the big names like Seth Godin, Marlon Sanders, Armand Morin. Actually my favourite for podcasts and articles is Perry Marshall.

These guys are cool because they are fighting in the trenches. Unarmed combat, tooth and nail stuff. They have not made it to the top of the mountain yet, but they have sturdy hiking boots and a good map.

They do not bullshit.
They do not oversell any of their products.
You know you are getting the juice from these guys.

Andre has it down for writing good copy, what he is doing is a blueprint to success.
Andrew Wee is a master at networking, and should be watched as the next big guru.

The others have provided me with info which was useful and hopefully profitable.

As a newbie to the Affiliate marketing game, particularly the Adbank marketing game (adwords/clickbank) it’s good to be plugged into honest providers of information.

They are close enough to relate to, but ahead of the game to be worth paying attention to.

Go check them all out now!

I got most of these posts from good old Technorati.

What I noticed is that lots of people posted but only a few posted original comments, which leads me to belive either they didn’t have a strong enough opinion to write them down or they didn’t read the ebook and just chose to post the supply copy.

This is stupid on a number of fronts.
People like to hear other peoples opinions, even if they don’t agree with them. (Check the Dead Trout post)
Posting suppiled content makes you look lazy.
Google will not love you and you will trigger the duplicate hammer.

Even though I liked Death of marketing and agreed with most of it, the post I most enjoyed reading was the Kick Start Daily Meanderings dude. Most because it was contrarian and he sounded like a grumpy old man, and that tickled me. And you absolutely and utterly knew he was speaking straight from the heart with no bullshit.

Guess what? I am going to visit that guys blog a bit more often.

Marketing is persuasion. It’s not about getting someone to like you. It’s not about making friends. It’s about getting someone to do something you want them to do.

So todays blog of the week is Kick start meanderings.
