I received several e-mails about Google Sniper today and read the sales page at least 3 times.

It did seem to good to be true, but I got extremely excited and even left work 45 minutes early so I could come home and purchase it. From the video and all the positive reviews, it looks like it will work.

I have started reading the e-book and hoping for the best. I am excited to see what all I can learn from him.

Point taken. Due to the time difference I waited up until 2am in the morning to get the early bird discount, so I wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind at the time I wrote my rant/review.

Upsells along with just about every other marketing technique gets up my nose. McDonald's has a lot to answer for IMO. "Would you like fries with that?" draws the following response from me (in as rude a tone of voice as I can muster), "Did I ask for any?"

Which segues neatly into the FORCED continuity. Isn't this one of the things that inspired the new FTC laws, amongst other things of course. The fact that people were "forced" into a continuity deal. The phrase "forced" is the key here. One that may run into trouble when the new laws come in.

Of course I realise that GS has been in the works for a while, before we became aware of the laws. However now that that genie is out of the bottle, forcing people into anything is probably not a good idea.

Offer it as an option for sure, but I wouldn't like to have to defend myself if one of my customers (it only takes one) complained to the authorities about me forcing anyone into anything. The ability to cancel it easily via CB won't help in court either.

Now, the Privacy Policy advice. The Privacy Policy is there for a reason, to protect consumers, as well as covering your arse. Something "scraped" together does neither.

I don't know if the videos work or not, I cannot load them in my browser. It brings up a black screen with "waiting" on it, and was still "waiting" 3/4 of an hour later. When I tried to d/l them I got a message saying that it was a server prob, not the vids.

Not nearly as life changing as a day in court.

The information DID work for me, when I was doing something similar earlier this century.

The information is, as you say worthwhile, just not groundbreaking. Perfect for newbies, the less experienced, those who have been struggling etc. Except for the "forced" bit, the PP and the fact that "review" sites are in a grey area legally for the time being until we get a better idea of how they're going to be implemented.

I hope everyone who buys it henceforth does well out of it, after all you may just be promoting one of my products.

I know I can be a pain in the arse as much, if not better than, anyone else, so I apologise for any offence that was caused.

Peace, goodwill and lots of affiliate payouts to everyone.

Hey man, I really think you need to chill out.

If you really go into mcdonalds and say that when they ask you for fries... then I don't know what to say. You're probably in the wrong business (marketing).

As for the "forced" continuity, when I first released Google Sniper I got a lot of on going questions and requests for on going training. The course is great but there's only so much that could be covered in it.

So that's why I created the whole members area. It's taken me the better part of 3 months and I'm extremely proud of it. Now you CAN ask me anything you want (in the Q & A sessions) and you CAN see real examples. Plus all the other stuff that's in there :-)

As for the privacy policy, I just tell it like it is. I promised to reveal everything about how I make five figures a month in Google Sniper, and that is exactly what I do.

Although with the new FTC regulations I am now taking extra precautions yeah, probably going to create a special report for all the snipers about it and how it impacts the sites within the next couple of days :-)

Best regards,
George

LAWL...

1) FTC warns you

2) Take down your site

...

1) Register everything in the Cayman islands. (Domains + Hosting.)

2) FTC won't bother going after ya

...

I read George's product through months ago so I know the concept taught.

Trust me when I tell you there is no way, in a million years, the FTC would ever bother you.

They'll go after:

1) Scammers

2) Advertisers in gray areas. (Think e-cig.)

3) Gray sites that suddenly jump up the Alexa rankings because they did a 6-7 figure media buy. (Flogs/fnews who didn't get a proper disclosure policy done.)

4) Sites that get complained about 24/7 via the BBB.

...

All you need is this: DisclosurePolicy.org: Disclosure Policy, Disclosure Policy Generator

At the end I always add in something blunt like: "I get paid every time you buy through my links."

If your gonna let something as insignificant as the FTC stop you from trucking along then there's no point in being in IM because - undoubtedly - worse things will hit the industry.

/rant on people over reacting on the whole FTC thing.

Wow, George. I guess we take a beating once in a while. LOL! I can't really say much, personally, because after a year of trying I haven't made much online. Largely my own doing (or NOT doing), simply because I've bought many systems and learned a TON, but ran into the ever popular info overload. In my quest to UN-learn and simplify, this is looking like the right concept to finally get me over the wall. I'll keep an eye on the reviews just to get a feel for how things are shaping up. (Color me jaded, I guess) That's not to say that I will base my ability to succeed on another's ability not to. It's more of a confidence builder I think, and having been a mover for a number of years and now driving public transit, I feel I can relate to you as a person somewhat as well. That in itself, breeds respect and confidence. Here's to a great launch and much continued success.

With regards to the FTC regulations, from what I can gather all you need to do is include a link to an "affiliate disclaimer" at the bottom of your Sniper site. Simply explain in there that you'll get paid for anyone that clicks on your affiliate links. Simples :-)

I'd invite anyone to tear my balls off for being wrong, but it doesn't seem all that complicated. Albeit they like to make life difficult, I think at the end of the day they're just trying to curb spam and increase honesty. If you're honest and ethical in your marketing, I don't see the problem!

Hope this helps ya'll!

The privacy policy is only really a factor if you are collecting email opt-ins or running AdSense. Aside from that, it really just acts as reassurance to people who aren't internet savvy that you're not keylogging them and stealing their credit card info.

As far as the FTC, yes, forced continuity did play into this new legislation, but not the kind from clickbank products. It was a result of fake blogs ("I'm Kevin, and I make six figures a day posting links on Google!") that offered "free" products which then looped into forced continuity of upwards of $80 / month.

The companies that offered these products were also unreachable by phone, email, fax, etc so cancelling was not an option, and most people were forced to file chargebacks with their CC companies, which is the sorta thing that gets the FTC buzzing.

Yes, George could choose to make his continuity program purely optional, but really, it would be a poor business decision. Every free trial I've ever participated in has forced continuity for a very good reason. It makes money, and if the product is quality, no one really minds that much. Given the quality of Google Sniper, and the level of service that George demonstrated when I first purchased the system, I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on the quality of his continuity program.

UKTim29

I just disagreed with your original post without feeling the need to respond, why are you in the IM game if you don't like sales funnels?

But now Ive read the post above................sorry, but thats just an attitude problem!

cgallagher93

Well said

tomw

As this section of the forum is for "reviews" and the thread title uses the very same term, perhaps it may be prudent (and courteous to George) to get back on topic, focus on actually "reviewing" the content of his course and not post subjective rants about his (and countless other merchants') marketing methods.

The course is apparently great based on the huge amount of positive feedback George got first time around with his pre launch WSO. He then responded admirably to overwhelming demand for coaching and videos and worked his butt off to deliver.

Many people said they would have paid a lot more for the knowledge contained in his WSO because, frankly, it worked for them. Based on the effort and expertise George and others put into the launch, personally I'm surprised he's selling it at such a low price.

By the way the sales process is set up, it seems to me he's doing his best to make as much of the content available to as many people and their respective budgets as possible. You can pick and choose the bits you want *and* (whether forced or not!) he's giving a free month inside his membership area to get everyone started.

I think based upon George's posts (and conduct) around this forum that's a pretty accurate assessment of the intention behind his system as well as of course to profit by delivering something that was *requested* by a very hungry market. And what's wrong with that?

Now let's get back to hearing your views on his product...

I purchased the Sniper when it was a WSO, its solid and much better than a lot of the other rehashed crap out there, the only problem i have had is finding suitable domains for niche sites, and now with all the other Snipers out there this will get even worse !!!!!!

rbkmoneynet

I think Its a great System , I only heard positive things about Google sniper And I'am going to try that out. hope fully i think it will work

boris s

Great system , very well explained , good price... I've palced my only experiment in 3 rd position on a 2900 search /mth KW (now i'm 5th). I think to be number one , you need more links, more often than advocated in the ebook. Still a great buy, especially for noobies. You can start applying after a 2 hour high quality read !

ps : 'im talking about the first ebook laucnched last year. The new product seems much bigger. Oh well kind of liked the simplicity of the first version.

George,
I got it and you did a great job. Good info that works from my experience and it is communicated well.

Sorry that some feel it legit to complain openly instead of using a support contact or read their emails about server load.

Also, surprised about continuity offer comments. No "gun" at my head and I remember CB requiring a radio button click to confirm agreement... hmmm. Plus, yes it's tough but... a click can cancel the program.

However, I do agree with comments that you should direct people to a legal resource for privacy and tos (while you can still mention what you do).

All in all -
George, very good program and you are a very impressive young business man. Super job on the product launch!

What are the upsells and for how much $?

chewie49

So far great reviews and some angry anti-marketers.Cool. No problem with that

BUT

Any review about someone already earning a nice profit using this system?

Thanks!

timbuck2

is there a separate forum for fellow snipers that George set up????

whateverpedia

Actually I consider myself to be in the business of providing/helping people find solutions to what they need, not marketing. Big difference.

Same as those that help people to find the right house/home, and those who sell/market/flog real estate. Big difference.

One is customer focused, the other is sales focused. Big difference.

Give customers what they want and the sales take care of themselves. Concentrate on selling, and you lose customers.

Peace, goodwill, and good luck to you and your customers (with or without the fries).

BTW I stopped eating McDonald's years ago for two reasons: 1) the "food" is crap; 2) being cross-sold/flogged/marketed stuff I didn't ask for.

In answer to how much was the upsell, there was one for a membership site for I think $97. Then there was another 1 for $22k in something like 2 wks for $67, which I bought.

Agree with all of this. Nice to see somebody else get pissed off when it appears that someone is trying to gouge you. We all know why it's done - to cash in - that doesn't mean that we need to like/support it.

It's like donating $5 to World Vision and then automatically being signed up for their $35/mo. sponsored child program, without having a choice. Smart business, or would you be upset?

Anyway - the videos still won't load for me, just goes to a blank page. I've submitted a ticket so it'll be interesting to see what the response-time will be.

As for the eBook, I'm about 20% done to this point and am pleased with the content.

Great! And as someone that claims to have bought the product you'll be delighted to share your views on it with those here on the forum as opposed to blathering on about your personal issues with the sales process, your own ethics or eating habits which, frankly, nobody really cares about.

Hi All,

I have been following as much as possible about George and the sniper, in general it seems that it is positive. However, as I noted further up in the thread, why oh why oh why can we not see a review and an example of a sniper site.

Can someone not just come on and say hi, i am earning what ever a day and here is my site ??? Something solid...

I am still new as it were but I would love to see some real proof on products instead of people saying how good things are or how nice people are? The only thing that's any good is the thing that put the dollars or pound notes in your sky rocket...(hope that doesn't sound too cheeky)...Just we read up on here to make money...

Can anyone show some results as part of a review please? Sorry if i have missed one but it looks like the same old to me, lots of people saying how nice a guy etc and how the product is great, but where's the beef as it were?

Thanks everyone...still sat here with credit card in hand as it were...And probably a dumb question here, but could I use it with xsite pro? Thanks everyone for the taking the time to review my Q.

pearsonbrown

Trevski,

It's a product launch. You can't expect results yet. (Although I understand a WSO version was released previously.)

Take some advice from an old hand. Put your credit card away. Don't get caught up in 'new-product fever'. Let other people try the product out. In a month or so, we will have results-based reviews here.

I'd also like to see at least one specific case study that backs up the hype and claims. Secondly, and equally important, I'd like to know how these niche mini-sites can fly uder the radar of the Google "thin affiliate site slap" and upcoming FTC regulations. I was always under the impression that Google favors sites that provide frequently updated and fresh content as well.

Trevski

Hi Pearson,

Your right mate, I will keep my credit card at bay...but i am very keen to get this course as i use xsitepro and can build sites pretty quickly so if it works i am in and think i could do it using my old market samurai tool as my keyword generator....(sounds good but haven't learnt how to use it yet lol)>..

Why I ask about the results is as you guessed, I have been on here all day...and read everything about it, so yep it may have been the WSO but why don't the guys who bought it say what they did with it?

Sorry if i sound blunt to anyone connected with it just from my little experience all you seem to see is either gurus promoting gurus or people saying such an such is a nice person or yeah great course, what about some action? Some hard proof that you can earn money with the sniper (this goes for anything other product too)...

You would think that if it were that good, the guys that are making doe from it would of built that many sites by now (from the WSO version) that they could spare to show one of them...

I haven't seen anything of that nature? How come if once you get the hang of it, it takes only an hour or so to build? If it were me and It worked and I had dozens on the go I would show an example to the masses to show it works.

Saying that, I can't blame people for not doing it i suppose, it just seems that you never really see any real proof..But there you go...

Thanks for listening to me waffle on and hopefully someday I will log on and see some real hard proof that will inspire me to get on with it instead of just hearing "great course" "great guy" "it works for me"...lol, i need to go for a pint...

Trevski

hi,

I am not exactly the voice of experience but i learnt and know that as long as you have all your privacy, contact, about pages etc etc a small site is ok, well for now anyway...

Man

I purchased Google Sniper from George yesterday and wow does he deliver great content and over delivers on that content to. It is must buy as far as I am concerned. Am going to spend most of tonight reading through the manual and watching the video's.

So much value for so little price!!!

hey guys,

about the whole real examples thing - there's a whole section in the members area where ALL WE DO is go over real site examples. Since it was a WSO I can show you many sites guys have built but I don't think I'd have their permission.

pm me and ill send you some of mine if you want, can't say fairer than that :-)

P.S. All the slow server issues from the launch mayhem sorted now guys, so it's all running 100% smoothly. I apologize for the pain in the butt it was everyone on the first day. I know you many of were anxious to get started.

Congratulations George!

I don't need you to see any more proofs from you... when I first wanted to know you I just go into google and type your full name and some of your sites (in some niches ) pop up!

SOunds good, I can't wait to hear back from you!

Trevski

Hi there George,

I sent you a message reference examples of sites that make money, I don't need to see a bunch of them, just one that was making money or is making money and rough estimate (something recent would help).

I appreciate your help as any example would sure convince me that it works rather hearing stuff about great course, great guy etc (sure it is a great course and sure you are great guy by the way)...

Just for something that sounds so simple as I mentioned previously, it's common sense that if you have something that works and it only takes a couple of hours to build a site (after a few maybe less) and it's cheap or free to do so, anyone who has mastered it must have hundreds of sites. As it sounds simple especially if you have a keyword tool like the market samurai or something similar you can churn them out for fun surely???

And I guess we all come hear to see how to make money so this type of example goes along way to gain credibillity. I understand that you may want to PM me privatly and of course anyone else who wants to see an example as it would be confidential to me and I would only offer fellow warriors my own experience of my own sites after trying it out.

And yes, if it worked and I had dozens on the go I would offer the warrior guys a real life example.

Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Hi George,

Is there any difference between this version and your WSO version?

Trevski

Just a quick update to thank George for contacting me. I will be buying the course later or during the week and intend to put into action within the next 10 days as I work away from home usually 12 hour days so plan to put into place when I am off late next week.

I will provide an honest update when I get sorted. I am dreading using wordpress as I am an xsitepro2 guy as it is so easy to use.

Don't suppose anyone has any feedback on if you could use xsitepro to do this course as this would save me hours of time??? Any comments appreciated and thanks again George for your help.

Just a quick pointer from me, not that I am qualified to offer advice but since I have bought market samurai I have realized that I have wasted hours and hours of my time building websites and using keywords that are too competitive.

I am annoyed with myself for making such a mistake as it now seems obvious to me that if you get your keyword right your laughing (it takes longer for some to figure it out sorry)...Any way, I will give an honest report within the next couple of weeks.

Any tips on using xsitepro for this would be welcome guys....

JackLypka

Well, I've now completely finished the eBook and am offering a free of bias review.

The 99-page eBook is a pretty good read, especially the last 30 or so pages where it's more "Do this, then this, then this, etc...". I found that there was a fair bit of marketing fluff/theory in the first little bit, but perhaps that was just George's way of trying to connect with his audience on a more personal level. As with most things in life, some will appreciate it, some will not.

It does seem like a very logical concept, and I'm fairly confident that his methods can work if/when put into action. It's essentially suggesting that you need to make sure that there's demand, an acceptable level of competition, and the ability to monetize the keyword(s) through the sale of affiliate products.

Overall, I did get value from the course, and there are a couple of sections on his site which I've only checked out briefly but appear to be great ideas (IE - a "Real Case Studies" section). For this reason, I'm fine recommending it to most as I'd expect most to also get some sort of value and utility from the material.

I will say this - in a lot of ways, the course's teachings are very similar to Ed Dale's 30-Day Challenge. I'm in the process of doing that right now, and have been completely blown away by it. What Ed and his crew are giving away for free is, truly, nothing short of spectacular. New IMers should, without question, do the 30-Day Challenge, as there's zero risk and a tremendous amount of upside. For those also either hesitant to spend $77 on the Google Sniper, or for those who are maybe without as much disposable, at-risk income as others, I'd just stick with the 30-Day Challenge. It's incredible.

Hope this has been of assistance. In sum, the course is good, but there are certainly other options out there where you don't need to spend $77.

Jack

Alexissalaam

Thanks Zach

everybody's going crazy over this FTC thing, you're right what they're
looking for are scammers and the big guys who are out there making
false claims, if this is not you then you'll be alright, but I can tell you
right now they are gonna look hard at the fitness and health industry
because a lot of these guys are making false claims about how much weight their customers are losing and how much muscle their gaining
so if you're doing that be on the look out.

I bought Google Sniper when it came out Thursday and being new to IM I can't really get critical based on all my experience
I went thru the upsell and wasn't bothered by it because quite frankly, I see it all the time. Plus if I don't like it or don't feel that it helps me, I'll cancel.
The videos weren't working for me either originally but they are working now plus you can download (which I did) and save into a folder. I had no problems with the sound but I use VLC Media player which allows you to turn up the sound if necessary. I did not have any problem hearing it though. Because I worked all weekend I have not had a chance to implement yet but I agree with a previous post that I would probably put a few more backlinks in.
The bottom line is if you are new and want something easy to follow to get started, this is a good program.

SeanTellsDotNet

Greetings all,

My name is Sean and I am a newbie to these boards, but not a newbie to the Internet. I have some sites older than Google. (lol) I came here to see what others were saying about Google Sniper.

I did purchase the google sniper system and am very pleased. I learned many things about updating my own current sites- mostly fresh ways of thinking about Internet materials. I've learned enough in just a few days that I will be creating new sites for my latest launch of daddyteller dot com. I consider the $77 very well spent- just for the learning I gained in the first few hours of the videos and manual.

If I do nothing more than improving my own sites, then it was a cheap $77 investment to learn some tweaking/keyword techniques I have missed in the past. Any money from my Sniper sites is icing on my cake. I do hope it's a very expensive cake, tho. :-)

I'm eager to see what the monthly materials bring. Yes, there is a $37 continuity product. But, I am a big boy and can cancel if I don't like it.

I think that the GS material is overall very good. My biggest "issue" is that George (respectfully, young sir) needs to learn a bit more about how to write directions and teachings. I would guess that the real newbies out there might be a bit stymied over some things. I have spent most of my life training trainers- and most of them aren't good at 18 years old.

I have begun the GS process, secured a few domain names (made my first mistake on one of those already LOL), put up the WP blogs (easy for me), had a few articles written and have begun posting my first Sniper sites.

If you are thinking about GS, then go ahead and get it. Look, I haven't even told you my Clickbank ID- so there is nothing for me to gain by telling you I am satisfied with this program.

On a side note, I'm rather impressed with George. How many folks on this list were making even near 15K at 18 years of age? I'm eager to bring my 19 year old into this process with me. She's already light years ahead of me in the Internet game.

More power to these young people. Thanks for George for something cool.

-Sean
PS. My daddyteller Ebook is an affiliate project, too. I will have to see how the GS tips make that go further.

Rupps

I would be interested in this product if it makes building the sites faster. that's what I am always looking for increase in output. 2 hours/site is a good target. Are people really achieving that due to what they have learned with this product?

Also, the videos on the sales pages do not load for me for some reason

arttse

The Google Sniper course sounds good. I dont like the fact that they are saying to use Wordpress. I prefer Xsite pro. Does it really matter if you create sites in HTML and not in Wordpress?

Jeremy Kelsall

Disclaimer: I am not an affiliate for Google Sniper nor do I know George. I've never spoken to him on the forum, email, instant messenger, phone, or any other medium.

I picked up Google Sniper the other day after reading some back and forth here on this thread just to see for myself what it is all about..

First, I will tell you what I DIDN'T like:

The pdf itself took too long to get to the point - at least for me. BUT, I was already somewhat familiar with the strategy etc. So, it seemed like it was dragging out a little bit. The last 20-30 pages were really good though and moved at a better pace as the information was flowing.

The first couple of videos were a little slow too. Maybe not information wise, but looking at the Google home page for that much time bored me a little bit.

Now, I will tell you what I DID like.

While I think the product could have been done in a lot less pages, there is some gold here for people that are willing to mine it.

George did a good job by the end of the product outlining everything and giving more than enough details for anyone that wants to give it a go to be successful if they stick to it.

The plan given is VERY actionable. Unlike a lot of products that have come out recently - This one will really work if you put the work in.

Conclusion:

If you are a new to intermediate marketer who either hasn't made a whole lot of coin yet OR you work best having someone tell you what do do exactly then Google Sniper very well could work for you.

All in all I think George did a good job with this and there will be some success stories if people stick to it and don't jump ship too soon to persue the next latest and greatest.
