How To Find Sales Pages That Aren't Live Anymore (For Your Swipe File)

If you've ever wanted to find a sales page for your swipe file, only to find that the sales page has been taken down or isn't live anymore, here's a cool little trick:

1. Go to http://archive.org

2. Copy and paste the url of the sales page you're looking for (If you don't know the url, you may have to do some snooping around Google first) into the search field.

3. Hit "enter" or click the "take me back" button, and you'll see a list of results come up by year for that site. Click on the year you want, and you should see the archived sales page, as long as it's been indexed. I just used it to find the old sales page for Frank Kern's Mass Control.

4. You can also use this tactic to find older versions of existing web pages as long as the page has been indexed, which many, many pages have.

    Cool tactic. I use archive.org all the time.

    In fact, I use it to download John Reese's recently
    closed Money Mindset salespage (I like his layout and image
    headline) to my swipefile.

    Great tool but not everything that is offline was a great sales letter to swipe and study.

    Case in point, the original Mass Control sales letter didn't convert well because it was well-written. You can find holes and typos throughout that letter if you look.

    It converted because of a world-class pre-launch sequence and an army of rabid affiliates promoting it. Because of the amount of traffic sent to the site and $2K price point, Mass Control didn't need a high conversion rate to produce a 7-figure product launch.

      Exactly. Sales letter is just one of the factor.

      The pre-launch was great.
      Frank Kern gave away a lot of value in his
      pre-selling materials.

      Add to that, there was a genuine scarcity involved
      with limited number of copies.

      The sheer demand due to the traffic sent
      by affiliates plus his own list outweigh the supply offered.

      So it's no wonder Mass Control sold out so quickly.


      Anyway this reminds me of Eben Pagan's Get Altitute
      program. High ticket item ($10,000) but sold out
      quickly as well. Not surprised though as the value he gave away
      through his videos was absolutely phenomenal.

        Observe the giddy posts made by fellow Warriors about
        the antics of those two individuals (recently spotted
        playing video games) - apparently they're something of
        a comedy act... and you'll start to realize that whether
        or not the shills are being paid to whip-up the buzz, there's
        something going on that is... um...

        Well...

        ...lets say that especially F.K. has become a locus
        of celebrity due to his personality and performing
        shtick.

        This is not a typical direct marketing situation by a looong
        shot. While it is a very clever coup (and in my opinion)
        the celebrity factor here is a stroke of luck too) the success
        of his salesletters is due largely to the fact that people
        like to be invited to the party.

        Gary Vaynerchuk may be the first guy who became a
        personality-driven marketing celebrity on the internet. His
        stuff would be worth studying if you have the ability to
        go on video and be charismatic and funny.... which with
        the most successful of these mavens seems to be a
        major factor in people showing up to read their sales
        letters and buy their stuff. Celebrity is a complex thing
        to engineer, but it can be done. How to do it is written
        down with good clarity in Jay Abraham's latest book:
        "The Sticking Point Solution"

        I'm pointing this out because these marketers who manage
        to become celebrities within the marketing niche are
        doing something very clever with a lot going on beneath the
        surface. I work with clients to help them develop their
        own brand of this sort of thing, but frankly most people
        are too wooden and unfunny on camera to pull it off -
        so the result becomes, paradoxically, less persuasive the
        more rehearsed it is.

        Everybody loves a laugh. I haven't tested it recently but
        every time I've sent out an email to my lists with a
        suj. line using the word "funny" in it (as in hah-hah
        funny) the clickthrough rates are double, assuming I'm
        telling my readers the link leads too funny entertainment.

        This says something about people and the way they use
        the internet. Folks flock to humor. If you are funny and
        can turn your act into a selling routine you have a
        real advantage - just as F.K. has - but it is not, as they
        say in MLM "duplicatable".

      Oh, absolutely agree with you. I just pointed out the MC sales letter because I was looking for some specific points mentioned when I found it archived.
