Dane Bergen's PPC Prophecy

Dane Bergen from Australia sent me a review copy of his new program, PPC Prophecy which is launching TODAY, August 29. This book is good for beginner and intermediate internet marketers who are interested in making money online quickly using Pay Per Click methods that work.

Dane's grammar is terrible LOL but WHO CARES!!! This guy really knows his stuff and is making an excellent living using Pay Per Click methods (and anyway, I'm with the grammar police. You may not even notice the mistakes..).

The book doesn't only cover how to set up profitable ad campaigns. It really gives you the total picture with recommendations on howto set up your domains and how to design your minisites so that Google will like what it sees and place your ad in the best position. He advises you on how to set up your squeeze page and what should be on it. He provides sample templates for squeeze pages and emails.

Dane also gives good, solid recommendations for how to choose the right products to promote and he provides the addresses of what he claims are the absolute BEST sites for affiliate products you'll find "in your life". He even gives examples of the products he himself promotes. That is unusual with internet marketers.

He explains how to set up successful campaigns, not only Google Adwords, but also Yahoo Search Marketing and Microsoft Adcenter.

I heartily recommend PPC Prophecy!

Auction Ads

I've added Auction Ads to my blog.

What is/are Auction Ads?

It's another advertising program that can help monetize your site. It's free to join and super easy to get started. Took me 5 minutes. Just go to Auction Ads and sign up. Then get your code, stick it on your site and wait and see the money start to come in. Every time someone clicks on your ad and buys something on ebay you get a commission.

You also get a $20 commssion for every new user of ebay that you refer.

The system even has a clever way of knowing where your viewers are located and can display ads that are appropriate for them. Apparently the dommissions in ebay Germany are higher than those in ebay U.S.A. Food for thought.

Anyway, it's worth a try. Costs nothing to join and just minutes to get it working.

Kontera and the Rich Jerk

I just wanted to let you know that after having Kontera ads on my website for about a week I was notified that I had made $1.91.

Don't laugh.

With Adsense it took me almost a month to make that much!! So, I will be sticking with Kontera for a while.

You know, I signed up with Konetera as a "friend" of Joel Comm's and under his recommendation. Usually they don't accept websites without 500,000 visitors a month (I think). I'm pretty happy he recommended it. After all, it's money that I can earn without doing anything.

By the way, have you heard that The "Rich Jerk" is selling his enterprises to prevent bankruptcy? I think he wants $8 million for all of it. I originally heard about it from an email I received from Holly Mann, who read about it on ShoeMoney's (Jeremy Shoemaker) blog.

Fascinating. Can't say I'll miss the Rich Jerk's obnoxious persona on the net.

Kontera and Musings

You may have noticed that some of the words on this blog are highlighted in blue and have a double line under them. This is because I have included Kontera advertising on my blog as another stream of income. Each one of these links takes the reader to another site , the owner of which pays Kontera a certain amount of money for each visitor. I get a percentage of what the visitor pays Kontera (a very small one but it all adds up!).

On another note entirely, I was just having these random thoughts today about how amazing the whole internet thing is. There are so many people surfing the net daily, from all over the world. You don't have to wait till someone comes to your little mom and pop store anymore. You get your site up and start to promote it and .... the sky's the limit!!! You can get exposure for your ideas or your products with so many people nowadays that it's really mind boggling. I don't think the internet will ever not be "hot" in the future. Seems to me that now is the time to stake the old internet claim.

Look at me. I have this little ol' blog and companies like Kontera and Adsense are willing to pay me to display their adds on it. I didn't even have to pay to put up the blog. Blogger provides you with hosting and all the blogging software for free. What a world!

And don't worry about competition either. If there's comptetion it means there's a market out there for your product! Just do it. There is also alot of free information available for those who don't have the capital to invest.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my ramble today...Back to the trenches :-)
