I wanted to add to my post: There are backlinks involved in Google Sniper. Putting time into social bookmarking may be a different name for backlinks, but like the rose, may still smell of sweet work. I like work. I don't believe in get rich quick. Just wanted to throw my last thought in there.

Aren't most bookmarking links no-follow though?

Does anyone know how much this product cost? I have setup mini sites before, how is this product any different?

Default Re: Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

Late Monday, October 19th, I bit the bullet and went through the Google Sniper Sales Process (1 Frontend Product for $77 with $37 monthly forced continuity after 30-day trial -- 2 Backend Product Offers (OTO's) for $97 and $67).

I purchased all three products for a total of $241.

Since Google Sniper is sold via ClickBank, it gives me the 110% confidence I can receive refunds in a timely manner should the product prove to be sub-par.

I had written off purchasing Google Sniper when it first launched since I already have tons of other products to keep me busy for ages.

However, an exceptional package of bonuses offered to me by another marketer motivated me to take the Google Sniper plunge.

I wasn't happy about the forced continuity nor the 2 backend offers when I first encountered them.

But, again, I reminded myself that since it's through ClickBank, a bad purchase can be remedied easily enough.

The marketers that snatch your credit card number and make it impossible to contact them are the one's that should be avoided when it comes to forced continuity programs.

With ClickBank, it's simple to stop recurring payments (once you find the page to do it).

By the way, keeping the original ClickBank Order Receipt Email is key to being able to promptly stopping recurring payments as well as requesting refunds.

Anyhow, I plan to put Google Sniper and the two backend products through the paces over the next 2 weeks.

I will also be keeping my eyes opened here to see if anyone else has achieved success with the product.

If I can generate even a few sales by the end of October, I will be a very happy camper and will gladly recommend Google Sniper to others.

But, for now, I'm at the "gee, I hope this one works" point.

Now time for me to roll up my sleeves, get to work, and give Google Sniper a fair try.

Lightbulb Re: Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

Hi all,
Just wanted to add a comment regarding the Google Sniper second upsell... (22k secret bonus) and a couple of free tips.

A few people have had trouble viewing the included video content in the GS package.

If you are a Mac user, DONT bother downloading the
suggested VLC viewer to watch videos.

Instead, save Time, Bandwidth, and Drive space by simply downloading
this tiny plug for Quicktime. This will let you watch the (.wmv) GS video content on your Mac. Its FREE.
Just Google: 'Flip4Mac'

As George freely admits himself, He is no technical genius.
This truth is highlighted in the first 90 seconds of the 1st (22k secret) Training Videos.

We see George grappling with a Vista 'Nag' window- related to graphics settings- that pops up onscreen while delivering his presentation!

I can see how someone might be 'put off' by this and other minor technical glitches. Personally, in a funny way, I found
It had the effect of giving me confidence.

Here is a successful online seller who (in reality) is just another 'regular' computer user. It's strangely comforting to see George battle with the same operational issues that most of us learn to 'workaround' or 'live with'.

The special thing about this 'regular' battler is that he has gotten up and created something, even though he himself is no technical guru.

So what do you get for your cash? (I paid AUD $75)
The (Google Sniper) '22k Secret' upsell provides the user with:

A nice length e-book (the 'advanced' manual) read this first- and
6 training videos to break down and detail the 'secret' and how
the end user might implement their own version of the strategy.

I liked the e-book and found it didn't take too long to read and was well written and easy to understand and digest.

I liked the videos too, but take your time, they require a little bit of
focus on your part.

Technically speaking, the choice of video format shows room for improvement. The execution can be improved upon too.
I'd also personally love to 'crunch' Georges next collection of video offerings, as they could be edited WAY slicker, tighter, cleaner and shorter.

George has ZERO Video post-production happening, which is, to me, hilarious. Once again though, from a competitive angle, I find this encouraging.

For AUD $75, the (video) audio is probably of a lesser quality than it should be, but you WILL be able to hear everything, and that's ultimately what matters.

As a newbie, I actually like Georges style, and I think even though the upsells are quite cheeky, I certainly don't blame him for trying it.

For me, even though its kinda pricey, '22k Secret' is legitimate, well executed overall, lively, and offered in good spirit.

George will definitely have his hands full for a while with the ongoing webinar training component offered as a 2nd bonus to Google Sniper. (Like most people here, I didn't buy that one either.)

This means George is here for the long haul, and will provide extra help for those who need it. That's comforting to (all of) us that have been scammed for starters.

I will certainly let everyone know how I go personally with the main component "Google Sniper" V 2.0 as soon as I can.

Enjoy!
Stu

Hey all, I hope your having a wonderful day,

I have just bought Google Sniper myself. I am still going through the package.

There is a Huge amount of really good quality advise and detail. I am really looking forward to getting started, but I want to go thru the complete package at least once first to get a good over-view.

For their ages George and his partner Alex, have really got it together.

So far this is the best package I have ever purchased yet. And I can assure you, there's been a few $$$... go down the drain.

George and Alex certianly show that they have your best interest in mind. They show themselves as being very friendly and helpful.

So, Go for it, if you haven't already bought it.


BTW The second upsell is well worth the purchase.

Default Re: Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

My one concern about Google Sniper is in the Rights and Obligations (in the Purchase Agreement).

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER

The Buyer must pay the full consideration for this product that the Seller requires as the total price of the product. This consideration includes not only the purchase price, but other obligations that the Buyer accepts as well as potential rights the Buyer agrees to forego. By accepting this Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agrees to receive continuing follow-up contact from the Seller including email, mail, newsletters, product updates, product recall notices, product improvements, telephone calls from the Seller and/or telemarketing organizations and/or pollsters for the purpose of solicitation related to the instant product or any other product or service. Buyer agrees to post-sale contact from joint venture partners of the Seller or from others who have a commercial relationship with the Seller. Buyer agrees that all personal information about the buyer or his or her buying habits and preferences, including address and phone number, may be placed in a general database and agrees that this information may be shared, rented or sold to third parties. However, Buyer shall at all times be fully empowered to sever contact with the Seller by notification using the 'unsubscribe' link in solicitations. Moreover, the Buyer retains the right to refuse specific contact with some third party solicitors and maintain it with others. The Buyer retains the right to have his or her name removed from a general solicitation database. The Buyer's agreement to accept solicitation and contact may be reduced, enhanced, limited or terminated by notification to anyone contacting the Buyer. The burden is on the Buyer to prove that such communication was made to and received by the person making contact. Buyer agrees that Seller is not liable for communications made to the Buyer by parties unrelated to this purchase even though referred by the Seller. Buyer accepts full responsibility for limiting unsolicited contact and Buyer understands that he retains all rights to directly restrict communication or solicitation from any party including the Seller.
The Buyer agrees to allow the Seller to collect, store, and use for marketing purposes all information collected from, provided by or otherwise ascertained by electronic means from the Buyer. The Buyer, specifically, and as part of the consideration paid for this product, waives all right to access, retrieve, or control such information except that the Buyer retains the right to restrict contact as described previously.

What it basically says is this:

We will sell your details whether you want us to or not.

Once you receive the deluge of junk mail and marketing calls from the people we hawk your details to, don’t bother asking us to stop it, it’s up to you to stop it.

Seriously considering buying the programme, I e.mailed George’s company on 17 Oct, asking for clarification on this. Sadly, I haven’t received a response. I’m left wondering: ‘If this lot ignore me BEFORE they’ve got my money, how will they behave towards me, once they’ve banked it?’

Be interesting to read about the marketing calls experience from those who subscribed to Google Sniper earlier this year.

So far, I think this is pretty awesome. Like I have read in other posts, it's not anything really new but the way George lays it out is new.

It is complete from start to finish. Easy to understand. Honestly, I had a few "ah-ha" moments when things really started to click.

Even if my first sniper site is a flop, I will keep making them until I get it right. The most I have to lose is the cost of a domain name.

I also agree that George seems like a pretty neat kind of guy.

Default Re: Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

Just to let everyone know. I have been reading these forums for while now. This is my first post to this forum.

I bought GS but passed on the upsells. I'm pretty new to this game and decided to try out GS and see where it goes.

I already have my first sniper site up and indexed by google. Tonight I'm adding the affiliate links and the last of the 3 posts.

I figure if I say I will keep updating my progress on this forum it will keep me going without getting side tracked with something else. So I plan on updating to see how GS works for me.

Even if this site fails I plan on sticking with it for at least 10 sniper sites to see what the results are. Actually I'm planning on putting up one site every week until I get to 10 and see what the results are.

I will update the results as I get them. (I always do what I tell people I'm going to do so this will force me to KEEP DOING IT!)

Default Re: Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

I purchased Google Sniper Thursday night. I just finished reading the ebook yesterday. I haven't watched the videos yet, but I downloaded them and made sure they worked before I moved on.

Overall, I'm impressed. I can identify with George as a lazy person myself. I like his approach - investing some time and effort upfront, then hands off afterward. Since I have a lot of technical knowledge, I won't be following the guide exactly on that aspect. Here's what I plan on doing to streamline the technical aspects:
The only other deviation is that I won't be installing the Google Sitemaps plugin. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any (free) sitemap plugins for WPMU. Fortunately, however, Google allows you to submit RSS feeds as sitemaps through their webmaster tools. I am hoping that this will suffice.

I liked the tips for on-page SEO, especially the LSI keyword information. I hadn't fully grasped that, and George did a decent job explaining, and more importantly, how to implement.

I felt that the preselling info could be helpful - I won't know until I put it into practice. I think this is an area I've struggled with, so just about anything would be an improvement.

The only other concern is complying with the new and dreaded FTC rules. Being US-based, I'm anxiously awaiting George's (or more importantly, his lawyer's) guidelines on the subject.

I followed this thread before the system launched, looked at the old WSOs, and liked what I saw. I really appreciated the link to Mike Iser's blog, who has shared his experience with the WSO version of the system (look at the early posts). I've been inspired by his efforts and will most likely do something in the same spirit once I get things set up.

rigby38 .... i'm impressed! you have a site already.. i think i'm getting caught the maze of keyword research and spent the better part of today searching with no real luck even though I am using KW ELite2. It's promising to hear another newbie has their first site set up! I'm going to chill a little and give it another go tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing about your success here. I will share mine as well.

Cheers

I just purchased this system Sunday and am going through the training. Prior to purchasing it, I asked several affiliates about this specific point concerning the upcoming FTC rules and never really got a satisfactory answer. The other factor to consider is the "thin affiliate" Google slap.

All that said, I'm extremely excited to put this system into action. I've tried to build authority sites and hate the idea of having all my eggs in one basket. I'm wondering if anyone is using Market Samurai (vs Keyword Elite V2) to conduct their keyword research and do competitive analysis for their sniper sites.

Also, does George have a user/support forum where members can compare notes?

Thanks

I went through the GS package and yes like a lot of people on here I didn't find a whole lot of new information but its good to have it all in one place and clearly detailed. I have one question. Would your position on google not be far higher without the whole SEO website but instead use an article redirected to CPA offers or clickbank offers etc (basically bum marketing)

With an article directory like ezine having a PR of 6 should this not ruin any snipers chance of having their website with no PR ranking and only a handful of backlinks being able to compete for the top spots?

Update: I made my final post last night and put in that affiliate links in the post. The only thing I am having trouble with is how to make the affiliate link big in the sidebar. I'm using the default theme for wordpress. The only thing I have left to do tonight is to make a little video and upload it to youtube. Should be interesting as the only thing I have ever used my webcam for is skype. Hopefully it won't take me too long to do it.

Im going to use the pretty link plugin for my affil. links on my next site.

I have no affiliate links in the first two posts. I guess now it is a waiting game to see how far up the search engines the site goes.

Tonight is make a video and if that doesn't take too long then its find another keyword to make another site about. As long as I'm done before the Phillies game :-)

I just checked my hops for the site and there are 23-granted about 4 to 6 of them are from me making sure the cloaked affil. link worked. where the others came from I don't know because I can't find my site in the google search engine. It's probably further down than I went.

George

The only support forum I know of is the one that came with the purchase of Niche Marketing Bootcamp.

I tried KW ELite 2 and am curious about Micro Niche Finder to help me out further with my research as I didn't have much luck with KW Elite. I suppose conducted too many searches as the day went on which I hear may be a proxy issue?... I dont really know much about that yet.

Good luck to you!

I bought the product. It's a lot of material to digest, and seems like a really focused way to get traffic. The trick is to find a keyword in the parameters that George suggests. I searched all day one day, and found a few keywords with potential, but either the competition is too high, or the competing sites have too high pr. Not sure if I want to spend the time and money on a "maybe".

I purchased the second one time offer, and while it was good information, it isn't something I can logistically do at this time.

Just a bit frustrated at the moment.

I purchased this as a WSO a while back and I HOPE I won't be charged more based on my understanding of these postings.

REVIEW: Loved that the videos show EXACTLY what to do. You have to be crazy slow not to understand and it comes w/ PDF's. LOVE THE STEP BY STEP.

I haven't implemented it yet BUT from what I can tell you will have a TON of work to do to make any significant money.

Maybe the question is, WHO HAS MADE MONEY and HOW MUCH? You don't need to tell your niche but it would be more relevant to let people know which methods take a bit more elbow grease.

I purchased GS and the $22k Secret upsale on 10-15. I thought the $22k Sec would show me how to make more money faster. I was wrong. I finished reading the course and watching the videos yesterday and found that this program would be great for someone who already had a product/service to offer. I don't and I figure, since I'm low on the technical curve, it would take me at least 6 wks to come up with something.

I sent in a request for a refund for the $22k Sec. this morning. I told Gg that when/if I get to the stage of putting together a package, I'd definitely pay him for this info. But for me, for now, it's just too advanced.

Then I was ready to dig into GS only to find that the link that Clickbank sent me just led to his sales page. I also emailed him that I need the link to GS and the membership site. Very frustrating. Don't know the time diff between UK and Central time but I haven't heard anything yet. And so I wait....

Blessings,

Default Re: Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

While it would indeed be interesting to hear from people who have made money, I thought I would chime about the matter of the revised FTC guidelines. It seems there has been a lot of misinformation out there about this matter, much of it due to the vague nature of the original FTC press release. The FTC subsequently clarified the new policy in interviews with the press. Here's an excerpt from one such interview given by FTC assistant director Richard Cleland:

"Cleland also said the blogger or endorser would not be fined, but the advertiser would. 'We have never brought a case against a consumer endorser and we've never brought a case against somebody simply for failure to disclose a material connection,' he said. 'Where we have brought cases, there are other issues involved, not only failing to disclose a material connection but also making other misrepresentations about a product, a serious product like a health product or something like that. We have brought those cases but not against the consumer endorser, we have brought those cases against the advertiser that was behind it. If people think that the FTC is going to issue them a citation for $11,000 because they failed to disclose that they got a free box of Pampers, that's not true. That's not going to happen today, not ever.'"

He went on to say that the FTC doesn't even have the authority to levy fines, and that this can only be done through a court case. You can read the whole interview here: FTC Clarifies Blogger Guidelines: 'We've Never Brought a Case Against Somebody Simply for Failure to Disclose' - mediabistro.com: PRNewser

What I find most interesting in the above quote is that the FTC admits it is pretty much mainly interested in people who misrepresent health products, most likely the rash of splogs advertised on Facebook, Myspace, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc, for various weight loss products. These splogs are quite blatant, pretending to be written by average people who lost weight, and even replying to people who leave posts in that same character. A quick look at their privacy policy reveals the splog is actually produced by a company in a totally different country from that of the person allegedly giving the weight loss testimonial.

So basically, you should mainly be concerned if you are making dubious or deceptive weight loss or health claims. This really is nothing new. Whether you are following George's method or doing any other form of marketing of health products, you should always be aware that the bar is higher than it might be in other niches. Conversely, if you rave in "character" on your blog about a WoW ebook, the odds are pretty darned good the FTC isn't going to take offense. At least that's my take.

Hey guys

I also just got GS went through it a little it looks to be great product a few of these things I've heard of before just like most of us have, but like most of us I did not implement, so what good is knowing the stuff if you don't put it to use or at least test it George has done an incredible job with this because he took action and got it done.
So go grab it put it to use and we meet back here in a month and compare notes.
Have a good day Warriors.

Taken to their logical extremes and applied to all forms of advertising -- as they should be if they're going to be applied to blogs -- the new FTC regs would destroy marketing.

They'd have to go after Pepsi for hiring actors to drink Pepsi while being filmed having a
wonderful beach party. And McDonald's for hiring actors to portray a happy family
eating out. And THE WALL STREET JOURNAL would have to stop sending the current
Two Young Men letter because the typical WJS reader will never become a company
President.

And what about next year's POLITICAL advertising? Will candidates have to prove
that "typical" residents of their state approve of them?

THE ST LOUIS POST-DISPATCH used to advertising their web hosting by running a
picture of my mother under a fake name and implying that even elderly women such as
her could easily surf the Net. At that time, she'd never been online. And got tired of
hearing her friends talk about how shocked they were the newspaper would do that.

So where is the line going to be drawn? Who knows? Let's hope that it does affect only
the scammers.

best, Rick

I too was kind of disappointed in the $22K upsell. I actually have an ebook here somewhere in my dusty hard drive that has almost exactly the same formula in it. I have not bothered to look into who wrote the report first, but I agree it is not a way that ANYONE could make money. Of course, Kern's 4 Day "make back the cost of this really expensive course" program is also not as easy as all that for the average person.

That said, I do really like the GS program. In marketing, as in everything else, there is very little new under the sun. Each of these concepts is found somewhere else, but the execution and the system made it worth my money. This would be an awesome plan for flipping sites as well.

As for whether you can outrank an authority site with PR0, yes you can. I accidentally did a lot of GS type stuff with one of my blogs. It is on the first page of Google, number 3. It hit the top 5 within a couple of weeks of launch. I actually outrank an authority site that has been active in this niche for 8 years. And they have members, ranked reviews, directory, forums, etc., as well as tons of incoming links since they are recommended all over the place as a "go to" site for newbies.

I admit, I was squirming over the "character" thing as well. Not that I've never used one, I just can't still wrap my mind around using pen names and fake profiles and all that stuff a lot of people do. I use my real name almost everywhere and I know that as my businesses grow I have to stop doing that. Makes it simply too easy to be copied, and makes it hard to maintain credibility in too many arenas. It could blow a customer's mind to find out that I am a recognized expert on women's health and hawking internet marketing products....

All in all, I think the FTC and customers and everyone else will be looking for deception. I had to ask myself if I would ever say anything "in character" that I would feel icky about if my mom knew about it. If the answer is no, and it was, and I am disclosing that I make money doing this stuff, is it different than a writer who uses one pen name for writing sci fi and a different one for creating romance novels?

I bought Google Sniper in its previous incarnation back in July. I've only recently started working on it, with one site up.

Does anyone know if there are significent differences between this version and the previous release? I guess I'm wondering if there are any extra features or training that wasn't available back then.

*** UPDATE ****

Ok i bought google sniper on the first day it came out. 7 days ago.

It took me about a full day to read it. I then went back and follow the steps. I tried not to question the process as i always fall off the path.

K.I.S.S. ( Keep It Simple Stupid )

It took me a total of 6 hours to set up my first sniper site. Here is a break down of the site.

Keyword... " kw " 7k pages
keyword... kw 39 million pages
Keyword Searches 4k
3 post on the site
I have 0 backlinks at the moment
I have 0 articles

Results....

I am index on google after 3 days
I am showing for " kw" on page 1 position 5
I am showing for broad kw on page 2 position 1
Total numbers of HOP 43
Total Number of sale 0

Conclusion....

I bought the course for understanding SEO and for a simple duplicatable formula.
that is what i got. I am extremely happy with the course and looking for into building more sniper site and increasing my income.

If you need to ask me any question feel free to PM...

Thank you George

I've just read Mike Iser's blog Blog. It seems considering the amount of sites he's got he's not making a lot from this method. Anyone making a decent return from their sniper sites?

Regarding earnings...

I have found that it varies across individual sites. My best sniper site makes me around $1100 / month, and my worst site that has achieved any sort of reasonable ranking makes me around $75 a month. Most fall in the $200-$300 range.

As with anything, you get better at hitting the mark with practice. Also, expect some failures along the way. Learning a new method is not without its price. My first site makes me about $300 / month ranked second place in Google for its keywords. My second site was the $1100 / month one. My third site failed to make it past the 5th page of Google. Such is the nature of the beast.

My firm opinion of the system is that you get out of it what you put into it. It will work reasonably fast if you pump out a couple of sites quick, and for a newbie, seeing that first sale can be critical to keep them motivated.

Get it, follow it, and take action. You'll see results.

I made three back when this was a WSO. Nothing to show for it only $30 out of pocket costs for domains and 2 months of my life wasted trying to make it work.. Also the out of pocket cost for the product.

My Verdict: Something you could learn a little from but don't expect to profit 15k per month from it. All sorts goes into making this a 15k earning potential. Class C IP adresses for SEO and much more which aren't even discussed in the Google Sniper Ebook,

Finally I highly doubt the headline is anywhere near credibile in relation to what's inside the ebook.. a lot more to it than that.

Gotta fly (bed time).. any questions I'm happy to answer.

Clickbank earnings are on his salespage.

Of course, they could be from doing anything.

But to be honest, the technique is so simple that if you made multiple sites successfully, how COULDN'T you make 15k monthly?

It's only been 4 days and I'm on googles first page and I've made one sale for my selected keyword, just gotta improve my rankings.

I do however, wish George put more into his backlinking section at the end.

For the successful Snipers in this thread, did you have your sniper sites on dedicated IPs with seperate C Classes? I'd prefer not to incur this expense up front, but would consider doing it if not having them structured this way would put the sites at a disadvantage.

Thanks

update. Well I checked my site on google this morning and it was on the first page in spot number 5. I just checked again and now it is in the number 1 position. Still waiting to see if it makes me any money. But this being number 1 on google provides some motivation that this really does work. How long it stays at number 1 is yet to be seen. I'm going to start my second site this weekend as I got tied up at my JOB for the last 2 days.

Find another keyword tonight and put the site up tomorrow.

you don't really need to have a dedicated IP address, and unique IP's UNLESS you plan on creating your own network. most ppl will tackle one niche as George does, then move on to the next one.

Though, even still, if your sites are related on the same ip, that's fine, still holds weight in seo side of things...

so, get crack'n, and whip out those Sniper sites

I'm going to purchase this product because of the great reviews. I noticed that a lot of people are looking for more detailed reviews. Namely, they want know whether or not a lot of people were able to make money from this system. So I'll write a detailed review of my own soon.

Yup, I'm doing a case study for it.

my pages got indexed yesterday, so too early to tell right now, you know how search engines are, one minute you're in the index, them poof, gone, then back the next.

How many sites do I have, hows 1,689 grab ya? These generate over 11 million visitors on a monthly basis, with over 6 million pages combined!

I've got another 5,000+ domains that I need to get up and running, but can't really do that right now, way busy, but once I my Article Blog Poster is ready, these 5,000 domains will be up and running within an hour automatically,churning out content and back links as if it's going out of fashion... so move over My Article Network Loz is coming to get ya!!!!

Sniper sites? i guess you could say that, but I applied my own techniques to these...

The case study one, I'm not using my techniques, they're all George's to prove that his techniques do work.

One word

"Automation"

Nah, not gonna do a product to how to do it, but rather create a service that lets you do it automatically.

any way, bit rude to talk about that, this is George's thread.

In regards to the FTC issues and the story method, I personally don't use stories unless I actually have experience with the product

To me, that isn't being very honest

I just really report that facts about a product without hype and just come across as honest.

If its is a health product, I flat out say that nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of the people...etc

Just be real with your customers in your posts and you will do fine.

That being said, the site structure of the sniper method has treated me well

Also, I usually use pen names...but again, if I haven't used the product, I report on it and don't claim that I have

At the end of the day, honesty is the best policy..and in my opinion, if you do your sites this way instead and be real and honest instead of using hypey language and trying to "sell" the product, you be much better off

I've been able to find decent search volume / less competitive niches to pursue, but the target domain names have all been registered under the various .net, .com, .org. Some of these are just parked for sale domains with high price tags put on them. What would be the next best alternative to spending money purchasing these domains? What are acceptable words to add to the domain without jeapordizing the Sniper formula?

Thanks
