Can anyone answer this?

Google Sniper is still available through ClickBank. To my knowledge the he stopped selling it here on the forum.

Hey Draz,.. welcome.

About FTC,... sure it may not be so much of a worry if you don't live and operate in the US... however, if you were to blatently and consistently "run the gauntlet" with them you could find your domain name registrar getting involved and removing your domain name. So just be a bit careful.

As for GS working in well with your Adsense program... I'd say just go for it. In fact, I think it could be wiser to be spreading your site revenues further and not just relying on Adsense.
My main advice though in getting new GS sites up is too HOLD OFF with any affiliate links or ads until your pages get ranked and settle down from the "Google Dance" which should be all done and dusted within the first 4 weeks,.. after that just go for it.

Cheers,
Russ

As far as I know,.. the $77 price is what all Warriors have paid.

In my opinion it's well worth the investment. You won't find all the answers to a complete and simple "turnkey" business in the report, but you will find that it gives you plenty to work with and build out on from there.

George is a terrific teacher and his videos and PDF report is very easy to follow.

Cheers,

After reading all the reviews which seem to suggest it is worth the $77, I got this yesterday.

I haven't gone through it yet, just woke up but something really pissed me off.

It goes like this...

On the main sales page it promises to help you make a good income. I know, I have to implement and take action etc.. etc..

But it says I will make money.

Great.

So I decided to buy it and also learn from the sales process etc...$77 is no big deal and a lot of people seem to like it.

So far so good.

Then there is an UPSELL.

Now, I have been around long enough to half expect these now. So no real problem.

The trouble is it stinks a bit.

I don't mind an upsell which is related to my purchase a little, more of a cross sell, such as software to help, or a graphics tool or whatever.

What I don't expect is an upsell that then tells me I need this if I REALLY want to make money.

Then believe it or not there is another upsell which is telling me how to REALLY REALLY make money.

All this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Almost makes me want to refund straight away.

Still I wont bite off my nose to spite my face.

I will give it a shot, but man this upsell really pissed me off.

I really put me off and totally undervalues my initial investment of $77.

If I get my money's worth then ok, but man this smacked of pure greed.

(Yes, bla bla upsells work, bla bla. Well this one didn't on me).

I made another sniper site, but Google doesn't index the main page with an .org domain..

All the posts are indexed, they don't rank very well, but I've found them..on page 6-10for the main keyword..
The home page is not indexed and the name of the domain is the main keyword...

Any explanation ?

lonicera

it's about one week old. it is indexed, when I type the full domain name in google it's there, but when I type the main keywords it's not...

Bill Corners

I just bought Google Sniper and found some good information. I already knew some of the things the guide reveals but others I did not.

All in all, I think it's a good product and worth the money buying it. I definitely intend to use it in my marketing efforts.

Paul Schlegel

Deep, there's a post a few above yours here (Simon Harrington's) that could help you out.

Gary K

Any one else concerned about the FTC regs coming into play on 1 Dec as they may apply to sniper sites?

Looking at the example sites in Google Sniper, there's some things that may toe the line a bit - doing reviews / testimonials with a made up character or not disclosing affiliate status, etc. seem to be what my non-lawyer mind interprets as the targets of the new FTC rules, no?

lonicera

I applied promotional techniques from Google Terminator to my sniper site that wasn't indexed, and a few hours later it hits #1 position !

Sniper & Terminator combined, this could be a winning combination

Doiron

I don't live in the United States either but I'm concerned about the FTC rulings since eBay, Amazon, ClickBank, etc. are in the US and they may well enforce FTC rulings.

If you're not an affiliate for any US products you're probably safe.

Otherwise, we'll have to toe the line like everyone else.

Doiron

Is anyone else concerned that George's Club hasn't been updated since September 19th?

Christian Sawyer

George's Club has been updated for this month...not sure why this is not the same for you?

-Christian

Doiron

Well thanks Christian.

Something's obviously wrong. Whenever I login, the most recent update clearly says September 19th. I'll submit a ticket. I don't feel like paying $37/month for nothing.

Christian Sawyer

Anyone else have anymore success stories that they would like to share?

-Christian

lonicera

I've canceled my membership a few weeks ago, but I still have access to the members area

J Bold

So is the membership really worth it? Just seems like a good way for him to make money, to charge a monthly fee, than for it to be worth it. Of course, that wouldn't be true if he keeps adding great information.

lonicera

Well I've cancelled it because I didn't see any value in it, the two webinars were at 1AM in the morning in Europe, I didn't see that he makes any changes or adds anything new or useful to the members page.

I'd rather spend 37$ with friends then give it away for nothing.

John Tighe

My first sniper site is currently ranked #1 on Google.com and Google.co.uk for the key phrase (and it's a .org.uk domain, which isn't ideal).

In fact, for a few days after I made the "final post" it was ranked #1 and #2 with #1 being the site itself and #2 being the original post on the blog. Sadly that only lasted a few days!

I finished it about two weeks ago - having gone throught the sniper site manual step by step. Took a while, but then I'd never used word press before. I'm working on the second site, which is almost done and that's been a lot quicker.

My only dissappointment is that it's not getting the volume of organic traffic that I would have expected based on the Google keywords monthly search data.

Now obviously that's not a criticism of the system itself (which I'm very pleased with). Either the text I use to show up in the organic results isn't converting very well (and I'm trying different variations) or Google exaggerates the amount of traffic?

Wondered if anyone else has experienced lower than expected volumes of traffic and any thoughts as to why / what to do about it?

mrmut

I have also havd the same problem.. i think google # are abit low. I started to look for KW with higher search volume. abit more work on getting on first page but the outcome is greater.

hope that help you. Good luck

John Tighe

Thanks mrmut - I think you're right!

Rozaidi

I'm scared of SEO. LOt more to learn.

Gary K

Michael,

you said you don't care about the FTC because you don't live in USA, understood...

They state they will go after the U.S. controlled components of their targets too (i.e., the payor, host, etc.)... this could mean clickbank/paypal account shut-downs etc.

Not trying to be a chicken little here, just wondering if no one really cares about the methods described.

Joe Walter

Update:

1 of my sites that is just over a week old is #2 on page 1 of google out 4,920,000 competing websites

Oh my and another one of my sites is #2 on page 1 for 2 keywords out of 45,000,000 competing sites for one of the most competitive products on clickbank...

lol..

sucan

I kind of liked some things but overall i am sure if i would recommend this to others

Christian Sawyer

Are these the actual competing pages? Keyword in quotations?

I'm just curious...

-Christian

Christian Sawyer

Yes, if you use the Google Adwords Keyword tool, then it will fluff up the numbers a bit...

Also, is your title enticing to the person searching? This could be another reason.

If you do experience little traffic from Google, don't drop the site, try to get some visitors through article or video marketing.

I've been messing with video marketing lately and it really works great!

Good luck!

-Christian

Joe Walter

Without quotes

John Tighe

Thanks Christian - some good points.

I changed the meta text today to make it more enticing (I hope!) so we'll see if that helps.

I've also started with some article marketing. The first one's already up on ezine articles and I've submitted it to iSnare so it can be mass submitted from there.

Does anyone have a particular recommendation for article submission sites / or ones to stay away from?!

Michael Thai

hi guys

GS method is not FTC compliant (as with many other programs). I am not saying it is outdated as the principals are still applicable but we cannot follow his method 100% anymore....

I was impressed with the product and was about to sign up. However, my e.mail to the company was delivered (I got an on-screen delivery confirmation) but ignored. As a result, I've taken my business elsewhere.

Looking at some of the above posts, others have had the same negative experience.

Why?

Doiron

I'm a bit concerned, too.

I joined in that wave before the official launch and joined George's Club. I suspect that there was some kind of change made at the launch and that I wasn't updated on it.

I'm still getting an outdated site (September 19) when I log on to George's Club. There isn't any link on that site to support or contact so I can't alert George about the problem that way.

I sent him an email a couple of days ago and haven't received a response.

Does anyone have a working email address for him? I've been using georgebrown@georgemontagubrown.com

Any other options?

lonicera

try to post a comment directly on his blog, although it seems that he ignores the comments as well as the e-mails.
I can't say how much I'm disappointed with George, the system is working, we all have some better or worse results, but the support is terrible.
of all the huge promises he made... I don't see that anybody has received any answer to their problems.
it seems that he's just another promoter..

Gitonga

Your Product Google sniper sound great.
Can the tactics you are selling in this product be of any use to a 6 month old blog with a page rank of 1?

Will it help me grow my traffic in the make money online niche?

Kindly let me know of this before i buy to minimize on refund requests.

With Kind Regards
Morris

askloz

no it doesn't... if you carefully plan your keyword research, you'll be able to hit many birds with one stone

tdiwpro

On balance, Google Sniper seesm to be one of the better products on the market. The information seems to be quite comprehensive and people are getting results, although it does seem to be necessary to do slightly more than is detailed in the course.

One thing that worries me is that nobody has really mentioned making money which is, after all, the primary objective. Even if your sites are ranking high on page 1, are they ultimately converting to sales?

If so, are you a "newbie", or a veteran, using tricks and strategies learned elsewhere?

robyrobertson

I have just created my 4th sniper site. My 3rd just started getting some traffic and making some sales. I absolutly love what I learned with google sniper. I understand nothing is get rich quick, but when I can build a site that quickly and for just 10 bucks. (price of the URL on blueHost). I plan on having many of these sites before it is all said and done!

thebillionairegirl

Yea I'm aiming for 100 before I make any final decision about it. Your feedback it great. I find that many have had different experiences with it, but what George really excelled at is communicating a tried and proven model of affiliate marketing in a really simplistic way for any newbie to understand. Wouldn't you agree? I have studied many courses and his was hands down one of the easiest and worthwhile to follow other than the legendary Frank Kern of course .

Michael Thai

Hi Robert,

the way George asks us to review products, make up stories etc are no longer FTC compliant. I am not a lawyer but from what i read the new rule states that we are not allowed to "lie" to sell anymore, e.g. making up a story and promote how good xxx product is..... (not that we want to do that in the first place)

Russell Hall

Personally I think that unless your sniper site features volumes of testimonials then you don't have anything to worry over. Let's face it,.. the Sniper system doesn't involve using heaps (if any at all) of testimonials. A simple FTC or "Pecuniary Interest" notice on your site is all that you need to satisfy the FTC requirement. I put one in my new blog at Terms that covers this. I think in reality most people couldn't care less and won't even bother to read your terms or compliance notices,.. they're just there to comply and keep your interests safe. Put a link in your theme footer,..make the compliance notice and then forget it and focus on content.
Cheers,
Russ

Russell Hall

The whole point of the Sniper system is to set up multiple blogs/sites and not to rely on 1, 2, or 6,... create 50 or 100 or more and work on the law of averages and accept a level of natural attrition.
If you already have one site with Google Page 1 that's great,.. are you in the top 3 results? If not then you could perhaps use some of the Sniper strategy to improve P1 position.
The other question is,.. your site may be on GP1 but is it ranking for a buying keyword phrase? "Make Money Online" is a very competitive market,.. I'd suggest you need more than a micro-niche focus with that,- you need a strategy to go along with it to bring wallets out of pockets and get genuine optins to lists, which in the MMO niche is no easy task!
Cheers,
Russ

Russell Hall

Whilst I accept that it may be disappointing to not be receiving the level of direct support from George that was expected, the thing is that the support on this particular thread is awesome. We're all subscribers to the "Sniper" system and I think any questions you had could probably be answered here very well if phrased clearly.

It seems that George is preoccupied with his world tour holiday at present (good for him) and if he's not responding to support requests or actively 'working' his membership then that's his loss.

Now that you've invested in Sniper and are using the system, I'd suggest just keep moving with it and keep searching this thread for answers and support that you need.

Cheers,
Russ

pearsonbrown

Let me make it very clear that this is a REVIEWS forum. We do not deal with support issues.

Thanks,

Pearson

lonicera

Of course, that's what I'm doing every day, and I think this forum and all the members and support you give is great!
And there is no monthly charge of 37 $
