Reviews for George Brown's Google Sniper...

495 replies
Hey Warrirors,

Just wondering if anyone had a chance to get in on this product the first time it came around a few months back. It is relaunching on Oct. 15th and I am wondering what your thoughts are on it.

Cool?

Thanks You,
Jared

      Cool!

      Anyone else have anymore comments about George Brown's Google Sniper?

      I read somewhere that the concept is about making mini sites that barely need much promotion. When I read it, I just thought...great...another magic bullet product!

      Then I got to doing more research and I see a lot of positive feedback. Sound like he has somewhat of an original idea that works well.

      Thanks,
      Jared

        More valuable than any review is a daily update from a person that has actually implemented the Google Sniper system.

          Hi guys,

          Google Sniper is not only a great product but George Brown is a great guy too.

          The product teaches an innovative and easy approach to Affiliate Marketing that shows you how to set up sites that will bring you an autopilot income with no extensive SEO or back-linking.

          In my opinion, it's not anything revolutionary in the Affiliate Marketing world. This method has been used and applied before to great success. What I will say, however, is that George's method of teaching makes the product worth its weight in gold.

          Albeit George doesn't recommend back-linking, it can be applied to this method to great effect. George is currently making $15,000 from this system. The thing is - he's lazy!

          Imagine how much you can make if you do choose to put in some extra work. Google Sniper launches on the 15th and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to make a quick and easy residual income from Internet Marketing.

          Seriously, you don't want to miss out on this one

            I bought Gsniper three days ago and I love it. I have already learned so much and I have only been through 3/4 of the materials. I just wrote a blog post about what value you put on your own education. Gniper is not expensive and wow worth every penny. I put a high value on MY education and this product delivers.

              Progress report and a potential problem.

              I have my first sniper site up. It hit Google page 1, position 8 about 2 days after launch. I just added the anchor text and the final blog, so maybe It'll go higher.

              Now here's the problem. When I accessed my website from Google, I found that there was an edit option at the bottom of the blogs in the tag section, and an edit option in the "About Me" section. Obviously I don't want people editing my website. How do I get rid of the edit option?

                I'm not sure the Reviews section is the best place to get advice on how to use a product once you've bought it.

                But anyway, I suspect that it is only saying that you can Edit it because you are still signed into your blog's admin. Try signing out of the Admin and you should be ok.

                    Ok can someone please clear this up for me. After searching for various keywords to use for sniper sites I kept bumping into loads of already created snipers in the exact GS format. I have yet to see one in the top spot although I have seen several in the top 10. What I have seen dominating the top spots are articles! I've checked out their backlinks and many of them had none. I should note that I have come across loads of articles taking over against competiton like 100,000 etc.

                    So my question is this...Are articles infact better than GS sites?

                    I had some really great intentions of putting hundreds of hours over the next year into GS sites but from what I have found so far is that articles are always ahead of them on the rankings. Surely writing one good article of about 300-500 words instead of 3 or so blog posts on the keyword rich domain (costing 10bucks) is the best idea?

                    An big estimate of an hour per good article for example including research etc and if needs be some backlinks to outrank the articles already holding the top positions?

                    Thanks for any advice!

                      It's true that the big article directories will tend to outrank Sniper sites, assuming both have solid optimization for the keyword phrase and no backlinks.

                      The problem with article marketing is that it is not as effective at preselling, and doesn't generate the same kind of connection with your visitors as a blog would. On top of that, you have to deal with the numerous traffic leaks on the article page itself. They're generally covered from top to bottom with adsense, plus they link to other related articles, the category listings, etc. If you rely exclusively on articles to generate your sales, you're leaving money on the table.

                      My personal strategy is to combine them. If there's an article in first place, I'll write a similar article, link to my sniper site in the resource box, and build a few backlinks to the article. Now I've got 1st spot with my article, and 2nd or 3rd with my sniper site. I bet you can guess what that does for traffic and sales

          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.

    I think Mike Iser's site describes his progress with an adsense system - adsense sniper. Not the same thing as Google Sniper.

      Hi Jared,

      I used his system in a roundabout way for promoting Affiliate Jump which I made a few sales from. In fairness, I could have done much better had I put in some more effort but it was just a test for me to prove that the method worked.

      I created my own system for achieving and sustaining SE rankings too and sort of combined the two for my new sniper site. Please don't accuse me of building back-links or trying to get traffic but feel free to take a look at it if you like...

      The great thing is that there's plenty of room for many 'snipers' which is pretty cool. I don't know how many copies George is releasing but either way if you implement it and genuinely put in some initial effort, it should work for you.

      Hope this helps,

      Connor

      He is trying out XFactor's Adsense sniper system at the moment, but most of his Clickbank sales have come from sniper sites setup using George Brown's system.

      Read the earlier posts on his blog, and this will be clear.

        I both use Google Sniper and promote it. The Warrior forum has some of the best tools online for internet marketers and GS is no exception. This place is literally a goldmine.

        Since I started using GS, I currently have almost 100 Google Sniper sites up as I write this, and I would say a good 75% of them make me sales pretty much every day. I was even lucky enough to be one of the beta testers when George released GS and you will see me on The GS sales page when it's relaunched in a few days.

        The best thing about all of this is that George M Brown is now a good friend of mine.

        Hope this helps,

          I just found out about this and checked out his first video. It seems too good to be true. But I am on the edge of my seat with this one, as I am very interested in building sites that can get good rankings.

          Can't wait to see his next video where he actually shows us how to build a site.

          I wonder what the cost would involve. Anyone care to guess?

            I hope George doesn't mind me revealing this, but the cost can be between $0 and $15. On the high end of that range, you'll be buying a more expensive domain extension + hosting; on the low end, you'll be using free sites.

            Any further costs you incur will be totally up to you.

        I was a complete newbie, but his step-by-step approach to teaching the process of setting up a simple site to earn money on autopilot was very helpful. Before, I was just hung up on all the systems out there, but George's system was very simple and taught actionable steps rather than ideas. I would recommend it for younger affiliate marketers, which will help you jump start your career.

            I'm not promoting this product as an affiliate so take this for what it's worth...

            People that are making money with it are not going to seek this thread out to comment on it...

            You'll find 3 kinds of people in these types of threads.

            1. Those with some sort of interest in the product - Either they are promoting it or they are friends of Georges.

            2. People that are not making any money

            3. Fresh people that want to share their experience

            The ones that have had success are hammering out more sites, not looking for a place to post about it.

              I respectfully disagree, Jeremy. I quit my job using the Google Sniper system. It forms the bulk of my current income, and I've modified it to tackle tougher keywords with higher traffic as well. For full disclosure's sake, yes, I am promoting it, but I've never so much as referenced my site let alone linked to it. As a side note, it's the only internet marketing product I'm promoting, and it's likely to stay that way until I compile enough quality information to release a product of my own.

              I come to this forum to refresh my brain, see what others are working on, and help people out. I could hammer out sites all day and rapidly expand my income, sure, but 1 or 2 new sites a week is more than enough to keep the money flowing in.

              Obviously, I can't speak for anyone else in the thread, but IMO the allegation that no one making money with the system would seek out this thread to comment on it is just as baseless as the oft-repeated suggestion that no one making money off of a system would sell it as a WSO.

                Well.....

                There are not many comments in this thread from people making money, considering the number of comments here.

                I didn't say that noone was making money, because I know they are...

                My point is, you're not going to see 100's of people flock to this thread to say they are making money....which we havn't...unless I missed something.

                    Agreed

                    I just wanted to clarify, because I thought that you might have interpreted my comment to mean that people were not making money with Sniper...I know several people who are...but, they are not posting here.

                      Hi,
                      I've bought gsniper a month ago.
                      I have now 4 sniper sites up and ranking, and I've made JUST 1 SALE for some hemorrhoid cure system.
                      The sites have very low traffic.

                      About Georges sites that are 1st on google... did anyone notice how many backlinks they have? although George claims that the sites rank well without them, all of his sites that we know about have at least 300 backlinks.

                      www.groomweddingspeech.org is his site an has 396 backlinks on google.

                      the site mentioned above is somebodys copy/paste of george's work..
                      too bad to see that there is so many copying around..
                      for example.. I've put up a site promoting Google terminator... and a week later I find two sites with my exact content on them.. they didn't even bother to change the text just a little bit..

                        Hey, whatsup all, Quick question about ranking for your site. I set-up my first sniper site last night and had it indexed and ranked on page #1 position 8. Im not satisfied with that position and would like to hit top 5. I created the site to a "T" like the manual said. I created the site up till part 3, waited for it to get indexed, and then i went ahead and put in my youtube video along with the 'useful article' and a Load of backlinking. Im wondering if the amount of backlinking i did for the site actually hurt its rank.:confused: Only becuase i did so much so quickly. And also is this the Final Rank i should expect to see for the site?? Its only 1 day old and i kno most sites take a couple days to index and rank, so should i wait and see if it moves up? Thanks

                        P.S. I also forgot to mention that the competition at the top looks like something that my site should be able to outrank, I.E forums and such

                          Have you checked the number of backlinks for the sites you're competing against in Yahoo site explorer? Are they optimized for the keywords? Even forum posts can be optimized (albeit unintentionally) if the keyword is in the thread title and content.

                          Your final rank is wherever you are willing to let it settle. If your competition is weak enough, building links should get you to the top 3, which from my experience are the only positions that make any money worth discussing.

                          And no, building backlinks wouldn't have hurt your ranking. The more likely scenario is that Google hasn't counted those backlinks yet.

                          I've bought gsniper a month ago.
                          I have now 4 sniper sites up and ranking, and I've made JUST 1 SALE for some hemorrhoid cure system.
                          The sites have very low traffic.

                          About Georges sites that are 1st on google... did anyone notice how many backlinks they have? although George claims that the sites rank well without them, all of his sites that we know about have at least 300 backlinks.

                          www.groomweddingspeech.org is his site an has 396 backlinks on google.

                          the site mentioned above is somebodys copy/paste of george's work..
                          too bad to see that there is so many copying around..
                          for example.. I've put up a site promoting Google terminator... and a week later I find two sites with my exact content on them.. they didn't even bother to change the text just a little bit..
                          Not sure how long you've been doing IM for, but starting with a brand new system and getting your first sale in a month is pretty good. As far as the traffic, you'll get better at selecting keywords and you'll start ranking higher naturally.

                          I've been doing Google Sniper sites since George first put it out as a WSO, and my success rate at the start was terrible. Of my first 10 sites, only 4 made any money. Now, I can't even remember the last time I built a site and didn't have it land on page 1. Patience and the willingness to learn from your mistakes are absolutely key in this business.

                          As far as the backlinking, sometimes you get 1st spot naturally, other times you have to push for it if you want it. Another thing to consider is that if you can get first spot with zero links, all it takes is the same level of optimization plus a backlink or two, and then another sniper's got your spot. I build a ton of backlinks just because I don't want to lose my position (and one of my sources of income) to another internet marketer. It's a lot easier once you have money to funnel into outsourcers or automation software.

    Hi guys this is not a unique concept. It has been around for ages, he says going for key words that have a lower then ***** competion ! This will get you some money words but most of the money words are ALWAYS higger then ***** much higher.
    You can rank for them but you need to back link, there are no short cuts guys, you have to work if you want big pay days.

    Of course it's not a unique concept.

    But loads of people couldn't figure it out by themselves or would just get confused by other products.

    I'm not sure he'd appreciate you giving away a core part of the "strategy". But since we're on it anyway I can find you tons of keywords with less than 10,000 competing pages that will get you 50-100 visitors a day.

    Will you make a sale a day? Maybe...maybe not.

    But most likely you will make at least a sale a week. Now find 50 similar keywords and you're certainly on your way.

    I've talked to George quite a few times before and he hasn't done anything differently than what he's outlined in the course.

      I purchased Google Sniper some time ago and it opened my eyes to different ways
      of promoting products, conducting keyword research with a slightly different mindset, and modifying some of my current tactics. I will agree with Zach that you shouldn't discuss what's in the core of the system because that's for George to do.

      What I can say is this, its definitely worth the money and if you are a beginner or intermediate. How many internet marketing systems have you purchased, or heard of that contained everything related to making money. If such a system were created, guys like Frank Kern and Jeff Walker would only have one shot to sell to us.

      I guess what I am getting at is you should find a few gold nuggets in this product that you can add to your toolbox and help you become a better marketer. Once you buy the product however, implement what's contained and chart your progress. I think you'll be surprised how effective this system is.

      Hey sorry perhaps I was bit too harsh, I didn't give away a core part of the "strategy", he tells you this in his FREE videos. ( I have gone in and edited my post anyway )
      The only reason why I got a bit upset was because he made it out like it was such a new concept that only he new, so natuarlly I jumped for the NEW information, but unfortunately not what it says on the tin.
      It's still good for any one who doesnt know this method.
      I have no ill will for the guy, hey hes from my home land UK so I would back him all the way, just a bit misleading other wise I'm sure the product WILL get you some income on autopilot. All I was hinting at was if you want to make a huge amount of cash you need to back link to rank for the more competitive keywords.

      P.S. theredcell there are programmes out there that explain this method "Niche Profit Classroom" being one of them they call it "Money Matrix".

    Yeah I agree with Amir, I also have google sniper from before. Nothing new but for people who have no clue, it's going to give them the boost they need to start doing something instead of wasting away for hours on hours contemplating on the perfect setup and never actually doing anything.

    I'm wondering if he will have some newer tactics this time around, but I probably won't check it out if it doesn't look like it.

    Google sniper isn't a new thing as said above, but the guy did a very good job and explained exactly HOW to do it.

    Anyone following this system should make money, and this works in any niche. Just be careful when you make review with the latest FTC stuff.

    Plus I would add, this is a good thing to outsource. Let someone build x number of sites for you and you have several hundreds dollars coming in every single month on autopilot.

    All the best,

    Thanks for the support guys, I thought I was onlt one that saw the weak points in this.
    This is a great system don't get me wrong, but and there is a but, and it's a big one. There are predators out there on the internet ( like me ) so don't fall a victim of where the hunter becomes the hunted.

    Let me explain, I love to go in and rip apart one page sites, and take over, I do it all the time. If your not putting in the time to backlink or build link wheels then a predator like me will wack up a site in wrodpress get a link wheel going and out rank you to get the traffic.

    This is a business so treat it like one, and put in the time. You will be glad you did as it will pay you back for a very long time to come.

        In a nutshell, a link wheel is getting links from other web 2.0 platforms towards your main website. the end results is a serious boost in your rankings.

            I think it's a good product, it does require a good amount of work. Definitely not a get rich quick thing if that's what you are looking for. He does go into a lot of detail that I don't normally see in ebooks.

            However, I was a bit disappointed with the videos' as the sound quality was horrendous. I had to lean in to my speakers at full volume to hear him. I don't have that problem with other videos. Also, George was less accessible than he claimed he would be if we had further questions. And for the price of the ebook, I didn't think I was asking too much with two questions. He did get back to me on one question, I should say in all fairness, but on my second (and last)...he didn't respond to my emails or PM to follow-up...so I gave up trying to contact him. And that left a bad taste in my mouth. That being said, I still think it is a quality ebook.

          Sure no worries I'll try my best. Picture a bicycle wheel in your head and I dont mean BMX wheel, although I guess that would work as well.
          So you have the rim with all the spokes going to the hub in the center, you have that pictured?

          Now the hub is your "money site" and you use your keyword that you want to rank for in the SERPS on all the other web 2.0 sites as ancher text pointing back to your "money site" AND to each other.

          Thus giving you a boost and you move up in Google, as when Google spider comes along and finds your web 2.0 site and then follows the links ( which are going in a loop only breaking off to point to your "money site". I think you can only imagine what Google will think about your "money site"

          Why do link wheels work well Google loves web 2.0 sites and visits them often, I think every 10 mins or sec I cant remember now. Through in some videos on the sites link youtube etc... and oh my!

          For 1 of my money sites I dominate the first page of google I have 6 results on there.

          I hope I was able to explain my self, it's really not as hard as it sounds if you still dont understand, just ask and I'll be happy to go over anything you didnt get.

          That will be $49.97 thanks

  • "I think it's a good product, it does require a good amount of work. Definitely not a get rich quick thing if that's what you are looking for."

    It´s sold as something that can make you rich quick. Here´s the problem. I vought Google Sniper a while ago but did not try it. Because I´m using the IPK minisite formula and there was not so much difference. So I just went on with what I was doing.

    IPK works for me (and therefore Google Sniper probably will also work), in the meaning that I did make some money and still do from these sites.

    But there are some problems. George says to look for keywords with around 3,000 visitors a month. Since the Google keyword tool is for Adwords and not for SEO, and these numbers are not only from Google Search, one can only expect 300 visitors when it says 3,000. There are some exceptions but in general I think one cannot expect more than 10%.

    300 visitors is not very much and it requires a good amount to get to the first page and stay there. These are keywords people use to write articles for EZA and others. Keywords they need EZA´s PR6 for to rank on the first page.

    As I mentioned I make some money from these sites, but is it worth all the trouble? To make one of these sites and make enough backlinks I need at least 1 month. Good keywords, keywords from niches were the money is, can be quite difficult and require even more work.

    At first it seems great. You are really making some money. But in the long run I see some logistic problems. Can I just make more and more from these sites? Is it a problem if I have too many websites in my webmaster tools account? A good site makes me about 100 Euro (about $ 120) a month. But I need to give them new backlinks on a regular base. The more sites I make the more backlinks I have to make. At some point I will reach my limit. Making new sites is a lot of work and not all are profitable. Meaning I did a lot of work for nothing.

    Therefore I think it´s better to make larger sites. With these minisites you always start all over again. If I make a large site, start with 10 pages for instance, make backlinks and so on, the site gets some PR. New pages will profit from this PR and will rank easier, faster and with less work. So I think it´s better to select a niche with plenty of usable keywords and build larger sites.

  • Hey! cool thread

    First thanks to everyone for the great feedback, really enjoying the prelaunch so far and glad to be providing some cool free value...

    Amir though, I think you miss the whole point of Google Sniper... Do you even have the product? And for someone with 20 posts (like half of which being replying to this thread for some reason...) you seem like someone who seems to *really* know what he's talking about.

    Link wheels are WAY overated number one.

    And no you don't need any backlinks to rank in Google, you're wrong again there.

    I, and other snipers regularly enter completely new markets and outrank all the "hunters" as you say with their link wheels and weak backlinks from free directories etc.

    Before saying if what I teach is anything new or not, I would question who you are, and just what kind of "authority" you are on the subject of SEO. Or have you just read a lot of courses?

    The point of Google Sniper is that it's easy. It's simple. And it works incredibly well. Just take a look at the original WSO thread. http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...-must-see.html

    You seem like a nice guy Amir, prepared to offer advice etc but perhaps here is not the place... The OP just wanted reviews of Google Sniper.

    P.S. Sorry if I come across as a bit moody today, but I would like to know just what authority you have.

      Hi George,

      I don't know why it has come across as I don't like your course. Which is not right, it's great information and anyone who takes action on it will make money like I have said before. The ONLY problem I had was you said in your free video for the relaunch "even if your the most jaded super affiliate I guarantee you will find something new here". Well I love new info, Knowledge is power, but after going through the whole video I didn't find any new info I already knew this concept from SEO wiz Dr. Andy Williams.

      I dont know all the SEO stuff out there, just passing on the info that I know and has worked for me over the time.

      lol, no I dont have any "authority" on SEO, I'm just a student in the IM industry and still learning, been marketing online for just under 2 years now, and have only now started to make any real money with CPA and Click Bank products, before this I was a power seller on eBay.

      Also the link wheel concept I learnt from Howie Schwartz I think he was the one who kicked it off, but don't quote me on that. All I'm saying there is if you also build a link wheel ( which doesnt take long at all by the way ) please note the keyword "also" which means apply your said method along with a link wheel you will gain a significant amount of Link Juice and PR to your money site.

      No hard feelings mate, Jared wanted a review so I through my 2 pence worth in of an unbiased review of what I think so far.

      Best regards.

        I just saw his latest video where he reveals more about the program itself. He does make it clear that it takes a bit of work just following the steps to build each site. At first it could take approximately 4-5 hours, then once you get the hang of it, takes 2-3 hours for each site.

        The important thing is to have a product that sells easily and the sales copy needs to be good. Then it's traffic and conversion which are the two most important aspect of making money online. If I can do this, I am gold.

        Also the price: $77 plus a $37 monthly membership

        It should be ready by 12 EST tomorrow.

        When I get my own copy I should be able to give my own review of it.

      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

    Hi Michael,

    Just wanted to give you a bit of insight into the product. In all honesty, you can't build a decent site in 4-5 hours straight if you want to make any serious money.

    As we all know, Google prefers content to be updated on a regular basis and I tend to spread the post of content to my sniper site over a period of 7-10 days. This gives Google the impression that the site is more natural and is consistently updated, resulting in a higher SE ranking.

    What I will say is that the more time and effort you invest into building your sites, the more money you're going to make - it's as simple as that!

    The idea is to build up a wealth of sites that make on average between $300-$600 a month. But like I said, with a bit of effort you can achieve much more than that.

    I've also found that George's claims of NO backlinks isn't entirely true. I've done a bit of research and many of his sites do have a small number of backlinks albeit you can see he's not exactly spent months writing articles or anything like that.

    Overall, I think Google Sniper is a really cool product. All I will say is if you want to make this work, you need to work at it. Furthermore, if you believe this is a get rich quich scheme, you're wrong.

    If you want to make some money, I'd advise staggering your site content over an extended period of a week or so. The sites are built using Wordpress, so you could consider making one post a day.

    It's up to you. All I will say is that Google Sniper is NOT for people looking to make a quick buck and it's not for people looking to put in a half-hearted effort. I know George has put a lot of work into the development of Google Sniper and I wouldn't like to think that a ton of losers bought it and then refunded because "it involved work".

    Thanks,

    Connor

    P.S. Good luck to everyone who buys today!

      Right on.

      I've no doubt people will be making a lot of money with this product. And some may even earn a fortune. But this ain't no onesy, twosy thing. It may take people a few sites to find good niches and then good affiliate products to promote - I.E., products that convert well when you're throwing traffic at them with your sniper sites.

      I think good, solid success will be reserved for those that go the extra mile. I remember a few years ago when people were making easy money throwing up tonnes of rubbish AdSense sites in the 'blog and ping' era. It wasn't too long before Google buried all those sites and cancelled all their Google accounts. I know because I was one of them.

      Thankfully, this course looks like it's not promoting the building of spammy sites, so I think George has it covered. I would just recommend folks go a bit further with their sites. For those sites that start working, go back and improve them. Make them stand out from the other sites by adding an email form, multimedia, some backlinks, more posts and pages, etc. So when Google starts getting swamped with thousands of 3 page WP blogs all looking the same, yours will be the sites left standing.

      But hey, I could be wrong. Anyway, needless to say, I'll be checking it out ;-)

      If it's as good as it looks, George, I'll buy you a drink in Toko next time I'm down in sunny Bournemouth ;-)

      Enjoy the launch!

      Hey Connor,

      Thanks for your input on this. I'm sure it takes a good amount of consistent work and there is no magic bullet for making money online. I am going to allow myself a full weekend to build my first site and make sure it is done the same way George built his.

      All the Best,
      Michael

    Scotty,

    Couldn't agree with you more. Having said that, this principle applies in all areas of Internet Marketing. To all those that may be buying this in the hope that it's something different, I just want to say one thing...

    If you're going to buy it, make sure you use it. In my first six months of IM I tried everything. I've got more than enough products in my office to open up an eBay store! The point is, if you're not actually going to go that extra mile, you ain't gonna make any money.

    Find one thing you like that works and stick at it. If you have the determination and you're looking for a genuine way to make money, I'd say go for it. Oh and just because all the "big boys" are promoting it, don't let it put you off - George is a decent guy!

    Bought the Google Sniper and am disappointed for two reasons:

    1) Automatically registered for a $37/month product that I'm not really sure what it is (if it's the Sniper itself, I'll be getting a quick refund).

    2) Taken to another sales page immediately after buying, which pretty much suggests that I "have to" buy these videos of a webinar for $97 to get the full experience of the Sniper, that I'd be "crazy" to not take this deal that won't get released to the general public.

    Haven't even glanced at the product but automatically have a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

      If Google Sniper is such a strong IM offering, I'm wondering WHY its Gravity score on Clickbank is a mere 2 (typos an all)

      6) George Brown's Google Sniper - Huge $214 Per Sale. The Exact Affiliate System That Makes $15,455.91 A Month On 100% Autopilot. Converts Like Crazy. 2 Upsells Plus Recurring Commisions For Life. This Is A Monster. Promote This And Earn More. More Info At: $/sale: $35.11 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $35.11 | %/sale: 50.0% | %refd: 100.0% | grav: 2.00

      The webinar by Brian J. and J. Jones (AdSense Masters eCourse) seems to have a VERY similar model (itty bitty sites, auto pilot profits)

      I suspect George sourced a rock star copywriter to produce his well penned sales page content, coz its very well done. I know I couldn't write that strong of a sales letter when I was 18. After watching a couple of YT vids, I was surprised to see the guy who claims to be the #1 GS affiliate only has an Alexa rank of 6.2 million?

      I've met quite a few nice guys on the WF, but that doesn't mean I'd buy their IM product, even if their sales page had all the right stuff.

          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.

        Tell me about it! I'd like to have his copy writer on speed dial. In the videos his partner Alex says that he really is that good. Maybe he is the next John Carlton. (Well except for Jack's experience of course )

    Jack, don't worry.

    The $37/month membership is to the fantastic George's Club, where George takes you behind the scenes of his internet business and shows you everything he does and why. Don't worry, you'll love it!

    Secondly, the second sales page is what's called an upsell. This is based upon the proven concept that people are most likely to buy again once they already have their credit card out and have bought something already!

    Don't worry, it's just a "hypey" sales letter that will AID your success with Google Sniper. However, it won't hinder your success if you don't buy it!

    Hope this answers your questions,

    Connor :-)

      Connor,

      If I wanted to be a part of "George's Club", I would sign up myself. I don't appreciate being automatically put on a subscription-based product that costs me $37/month. This tactic is of questionable ethics, at best.

      And I know what an "upsell" is. Problem with "upselling" in this case is that the product I'm directed to after the initial purchase is more expensive than the product that I had just bought. That sounds more like cross-selling than up-selling, to me. And what did that to to the perceived value of the actual Google Sniper? Down, down, down.

      All I can say is that I hope it's an excellent product (the Sniper).

        Hey Jack. Just bought the product and I am pumped about it. I got the upsell page as well but the price of the second product was less than sniper. Maybe the price has been reduced since your purchase. Also, I was not real interested in being a member either so I immediately sent an email to the support email address asking to be removed. No worries...

      The only thing it is "proven" to do is p*ss people off.

      I'm off to get a refund now and here are my reasons why.

      1. Potentially misleading information - (quote from the manual) Privacy Policy - Half the time my policy's (sic) don't even make sense. Really just scrape something together..."

      WTF!!! The privacy policy has LEGAL implications, do not "scrape something together". Eric Giguere (a WF member) has a PP plugin that is fully compliant. Do a search for "Giguere privacy policy plugin" and install that. Never, never, never "scrape something together".

      2. Definite misleading information - the use of gravity to determine if a Clickbank product converts well. There are numerous posts on the WF about why this should not be used. The main one is gravity is so easy to manipulate, and does not show anything at all about how well it converts, merely how many affiliates have made sales. These things do not necessarily mean the same thing.

      3. It will need to be updated again in December when the new FTC laws take effect. There are an absolute multitude of posts in the WF about the implications of this law for any and all "review" sites.

      4. The ongoing monthly fee. Since CB first introduced subscriptions, there have been no end of products in every niche charging recurring fees. None of which can be justified. You would've been better off charging a (slightly) higher entry fee, and leaving it at that

      5. Advertising in the members area. For @#$%'s sake, you're charging people a minimum of $114 - isn't that enough?

      6. As has been mentioned above there is actually nothing new in here. I first bought a "how to make money with CB" back in 1999, and it said pretty much the same things as are in here, with the exception of using WordPress to build the sites.

      As you can probably tell, I'm actually mad as hell over this and here comes the main reason, the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak.

      7. Cannot watch the videos - they will not launch in my browser, and they will not download. The server just will not handle it. In fact it the site timed out altogether three times in the hour that I was a memebr. Ensuring there is enough bandwidth/capacity to cope with the launch should've been taken care of before the launch, there are no excuses for this.

      No I will not submit a ticket to support to help out with this. For the amount I'm paying I expect it to work without having to ask for help. As is mentioned in the manual "internet users are pretty impatient".

      Dead right.

      So, in summary this seems to be am update to a successful(?) product re-released to take advantage of recurring fees available to CB publishers.

      Not happy at all.

        Just to get this out of the way, Google Sniper is the product that directly lead to me quitting my day job. The system works. Your mileage may vary, and you may choose to supplement it or modify it with other things you pick up on your journey, but it is without question the best "total package" IM ebook I've come across.

        The privacy policy thing does strike me as a bit irresponsible though, but I use the plugin for all of my sites.

        3. It will need to be updated again in December when the new FTC laws take effect. There are an absolute multitude of posts in the WF about the implications of this law for any and all "review" sites.
        Yes, it will. So will every other IM product advocating reviews as a method of preselling, so it's kind of irrelevant.

        4. The ongoing monthly fee. Since CB first introduced subscriptions, there have been no end of products in every niche charging recurring fees. None of which can be justified. You would've been better off charging a (slightly) higher entry fee, and leaving it at that

        5. Advertising in the members area. For @#$%'s sake, you're charging people a minimum of $114 - isn't that enough?
        Are you getting charged $114 off the bat, or are you getting charged $77 + a month free in George's Club with automatic renewal if you don't cancel within the first 30 days? I can see you taking issue with the former, but as to the latter, forced continuity is popular in internet marketing now. Maybe it will stick, maybe not, but either way, people will use it if it works, it's just business sense.

        6. As has been mentioned above there is actually nothing new in here. I first bought a "how to make money with CB" back in 1999, and it said pretty much the same things as are in here, with the exception of using WordPress to build the sites.
        What's new to most people is the idea of a "build and forget" site being able to make any money at all. Maybe you've been exposed to this before, but for most people, this is their first real hurdle with IM.

        They either build a site targeting a huge keyword and have no idea why they're not getting anywhere in the SERPS, or they build around a crap keyword and build links like crazy and think that its too much work for the payout.

        The beauty of the Google Sniper method is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

        As you can probably tell, I'm actually mad as hell over this and here comes the main reason, the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak.

        7. Cannot watch the videos - they will not launch in my browser, and they will not download. The server just will not handle it. In fact it the site timed out altogether three times in the hour that I was a memebr.

        Dead right.

        So, in summary this seems to be am update to a successful(?) product re-released to take advantage of recurring fees available to CB publishers.

        Not happy at all.
        Yeah. If someone is offering videos, they should work. The issue is a lack of standardized formats. If you make it in Windows Movie Maker and its low resolution, people whine about that. If you make it in any other format, people don't have the codec and don't know how to get it. IMO people should always offer streaming videos in addition to the downloads, but that's just me.

        It sucks that you didn't get anything out of it, but your review isn't so much a legitimate review as it is a rant because you're angry about forced continuity and broken videos.

        For some people (myself included), it's life-changing. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

          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.

          For some people (myself included), it's life-changing.
          Not nearly as life changing as a day in court.

          Sorry it didn't work out for you.
          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

              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.

                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.

            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.

              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.

    Jack,

    I'm sorry if my earlier comments seemed a little patriotic but you gave the impression that you didn't understand the sales funnel that well.

    To be honest, $37 a month isn't exactly breaking the bank but I understand that some people may just want to buy the product without the upsells. Having said that, I urge you to take a look inside before you criticise it.

    I really don't see what the problem is. There's an unconditional money-back guarantee for goodness sake. If you don't see the value, refund it - no big deal!

    I don't mean to be rude but you sound negative before you've even started, how on earth do you expect to succeed with an attitude such as that?

    JNFerree,

    Google Sniper has just launched today, hence the low gravity.

    I can confirm also that George hired David Raybould (who wrote the copy for The Clickbank Code) to write the copy which is fantastic.

    Personally, I don't pay much attention to Alexa rankings and yet I still make money with Sniper sites as do others. Understand your concern but GS is a great product. He got Brad Callen on board I mean he wouldn't promote crap!

    I just purchased google sniper and am anxious to get to it. The other $37 was for a membership site and the first month is free so you have nothing to lose by trying it. Yes, I saw the upsale page for another membership site which I passed on but then saw yet another upsale page for making $22k fast (I think it was 2 wks) which I did purchase. I'm used to seeing upsale pages so they don't bother me. I'd use them myself if I were a better marketer. With the 60 day money back guarantee, I'm not real concerned. I'll keep evryone posted as to how it goes.

      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.

        Dude, you need to relax..

        Gsniper just launched, you aint gonna make money off the bat straight away, it can take around 3-5 weeks or longer before you start earning money.

        now my site that im doing, has received 250 visitors, no backlinks,and 100% of those visitors clicked on the CB links, but no sales Once I get 1,000 visitors and no sales, i'll move on... not every site is gonna be a winner, even George will attest to that, i may have to add more pages.

        the niche i choose was "Pick up lines"

        Here's mine, and here's one phrase I found just now, i'm 5th out of 24,000,000 pages

        Cute lines of Friends


        10th:

        Hilarious cute pick up lines

        3rd:

        Clever hilarious pickup lines for girls

        and I only have two pages

        been busy to add any more.

          I'm working on some other sniper sites, but meanwhile my one site has been on Google page one for about a week. My keyword research indicates there should be over 5000 people per month looking at my keyword phrase, but Google Analytics says I've had ZERO visitors.

            You need to make sure that your head meta data is <bots do follow> otherwise you'll be turning away trafffic. Check in Wordpress "settings" general and ensure that you have checked the box asking whether you wish your blog to show in the search engines.

            Other thing is to make sure you add your URL to Google Add your URL to Google
            so you can be sure to get crawled.

            Also make sure to ping your site at pingomatic.com

            Other than that if your still dont show up you may have been sandboxed and have to wait. In which case just keep drip feeding content and make sure to add a few Youtube embedded videos as that may encourage Google to un-sandbox you and/or give you a bit better ranking.

              Wow. I don't know if it's a change in the latest revision of WP or with the install process in Hostgator or what, but I just checked 2 sniper sites I put up this week that weren't getting indexed, and both of these were set to block search engines by default.

              You'd think after 30+ websites and counting I'd know enough to check there, but I just assumed it was Google being weird. Much appreciated, Russ.

                I completely missed that too. My privacy settings were set to hide from the search engines. I hadn't thought to look at that. I just thought I need to do more linking.

                thanks for the heads up.

      I purchased George's GS and think its great. So much, that I stepped up and hired 3 phillipine employees to go through the training and begin following the process.

      I have a full time job with 3 active (with sports) kids and I don't have the time to spend. I love the business model and I am impressed with the training.

    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.

    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...

    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 !

      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!

    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.

    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.

      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...

        Just bear in mind people - that's not an independant review - he/she is promoting it via their sig.

        That's not to say that Google Sniper isn't a great course, just avoid that particular posters aff links perhaps.

      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.

    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....

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

        Wordpress seems to get picked up in the search engines better. He addresses XSite vs Wordpress in his course.

        Yes, it makes a difference. Wordpress sites do climb faster for me than HTML sites. Especially if you do choose to update them (write a couple of extra articles and schedule them to post weekly). That said, I have some pre WP (for me) HTML sites that are doing just fine. Wordpress just really makes things a lot faster for me than HTML. Especially the ease of updating themes and such if I decide to make any changes to a site.

    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

      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.

    I have been following this thread with great interest and I have some observations. First, let me explain that I'm a complete Newbie and this is my first real post on the Warrior Forum, so forgive me if my observations seem a bit naive but here goes.

    I bought Google Sniper and went through it for the first time over the weekend. I found it straightforward, well written, and very useful. I'm now going through it for the second time to actually set up a sniper site. So far, so good. It definitely seems WAY ahead of the other products I've tried in my two months of Internet marketing to date. Great job George. However...

    1) Upsells - Let me say first that the videos all worked for me so no problem there. I passed on the first upsell but I took the second one ($10,000 in one week). While the marketing advice seemed great (just like Google Sniper), I take issue with the central premise that anyone can come up with their own product that will sell on this forum. This is definitely NOT for a Newbie. You can't just slap something together and expect to sell it on this forum without destroying your reputation. I will, however, keep it for a later date, in the hope that I'll have something worth selling in the future.

    2) Keyword Elite 2.0 - George's demonstration video was great, and for a Newbie like me, it seemed well worth the money. But when I downloaded my 14 day free trial it was defective. It kept showing "NO DATA" for competition on every keyword generated and it kept saying that it was encountering a problem and had to shut down. I had to uninstall it. I'm saying this because if I had a defective download, others may also have had trouble and that will cost both George Brown and Brad Callen money - and I would REALLY like a version that works.

    3) I have a problem with the concept of creating fictional characters and fictional stories for these affiliate products. I know the rule of the marketplace is caveat emptor, but local statutory law is constantly attacking this rule. It definitely sounds like the sort of thing that could be declared illegal depending on where you're located. The new FTC guidelines for example - will they make this illegal in December?

    I really hope someone responds to this post - especially on the third point and tells me the FTC isn't going to "regulate" affiliate marketing to the point where it's not worth doing.

          if you have a new site, it will have pages disappear for the first time then it will come back, that's normal, dont blame Gsniper, learn how SE's work.

While the marketing advice seemed great (just like Google Sniper), I take issue with the central premise that anyone can come up with their own product that will sell on this forum. This is definitely NOT for a Newbie.
      I found this out too after purchasing it, but I've asked for a refund for that particular "upsell" product and it appears I'll be getting one, although I haven't gotten it just yet.

      I have a problem with the concept of creating fictional characters and fictional stories for these affiliate products.
      I worried over this part after I'd read through the book the first time, but then realized that we all have to decide where we draw our line. I have mine and I still think I've gotten some good value from this product. I've been doing affiliate stuff for about 9 years but I've only been bringing in about $2,000 a year. I've always considered it an obsessive hobby I have. I'm hoping this system will get me over the hump and help me gain some momentum. Some of this stuff I've already been trying (niche sites, etc) but I've definitely not been going about it the right way. I'm fired up to get some more sites up that are low-maintenance and better money. Doing is the issue. I know you can make money at affiliate stuff because I have money in my bank that proves it--I'm just ready for a little more~!

      GS is for newbies, but also for those of us who just haven't ever stumbled onto the right information. Not being in marketing makes it harder to put all that information together and frankly, I've spent years reading online freebie stuff, and I've found that it's too easy to get sucked in by information overload. I just needed a way to get over than income hump and something that can pry me away from reading about making money and just do something. GS is a step by step checklist, if you want to call it that, and if I don't do it, I'll have no one to blame but myself.

      So there you go. My opinion about the product. I have no sites up yet, but one in progress, and I can't say objectively if it truly works as easily as GS says it will, but from my own previous experience with my own websites and what's made money on them, I'd say the sites I build with GS will at least make me *some* money, hopefully better than what I've already got coming in.

      BTW, this is my first post.

    Hi guys, i've been thinking on investing in Google Sniper 2, and i must say this thread has some very interesting views. What i'd like to know is, have there been any major changes in the approach and technique compared to the 1st version of google sniper? Or is the concept pretty much the same but with added tools an videos?

    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.

    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.

    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!)

      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.

          Class C IP adresses for SEO and much more which aren't even discussed in the Google Sniper Ebook,
          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.

            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

          You want to install it with the subdomain option, then install the WPMU Domain Mapping plugin. Just be sure to follow the instructions in the readme instead of installing it through the plugin admin page.

          Once installed and you're using a host with cPanel, just park your domains over the domain you've installed WPMU on and set the mapped domain in the desired blog's admin area. Feel free to PM me if you have any problems. I'd be gla to give you a hand if you need it.

              I find it interesting that a lot of the people in this thread are going on about how this is nothing new.

              It strikes me that people who already know all about on-page SEO, review sites, and marketing Clickbank products should probably have the wherewithal to determine that a course on the same isn't going to be overly beneficial to them before spending the $77.

              If you're aware of these things, you're probably already making decent coin. If you're at the stage where you can't wring $77 worth of value from Google Sniper, you probably aren't searching for Clickbank products on how to make basic review sites. If you're just looking for an additional business model, wouldn't you want to diversify, maybe into PPV or PPC or site flipping or something that doesn't market itself as a "Build low maintenance niche sites and profit"?

              Would anyone who has posted comments along the lines of "Bah this is nothing new!" care to expound on what brought them to purchase it in the first place? Not being facetious, I just genuinely can't understand it.

        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

        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!

      His copywriter is David Raybould. The guy who did the copy for KE 2.0 and also for The Clickbank Code, which supposedly converts at around 7%. He certainly knows his stuff, you can hire him at Direct Response Copywriter David Raybould if anyone is looking for a decent copywriter.

      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.
      Understand you're concerned, but what you have to understand is that in the heat of a launch and with something like 3,000 orders to sort out, George has been bloody busy lol. I'm sure he'll find time to get back to you!

      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!)
      Lol, you sound pretty determined. I have to say it's a good attitude to have, but make sure you put the required amount of effort into your Sniper Sites. I recommend spending at least 7 days putting a site up and would advise adding a few more posts from time to time...

      Good luck!

              Hi Everyone,

              Appreciate if someone can give lend me a piece of thought here..

              I have used GSniper and yup it works. The thing i want to ask is, not all the targeted keywords has relevant affiliate products associated with them. I am focusing more on digital products.

              Has anyone encountered the same issue and any idea to work around this? I know that i can engage a writer from elance.com to do up the ebook but what about setting up the payment processor?

              Appreciate if someones who has done this before shed some light here. I am sure it would be a great help to other warriors too.

              Million Thanks!

                I think you're thinking too hard about it and just got confused mate.

                First, since you know the type of digital products you want to promote.
                Start drilling down into those keywords.

                Now one product that I can recommend, well, two actually, is KE 2.0 and buyer Keywords... now Buyer Keywords I tried, but got a refund on because I was specifically looking into the forex niche, and found that it didn't help at all, which they were kind enough to understand and issue the refund, and KE did a much better job for the niche I wanted to target.

                Buyer Keywords Generator (not an affiliate link).

                This buyer keywords generator will hunt out all buy phrases (duh) to related products and even model numbers, etc... im not sure they have a trial copy, but you could ask, i think this software is just perfect for digital goods. try those.

                Now, secondly, it doens't matter if the chosen keywords have associated products with them. For as long as they are related, you'll be ok, it's about generating traffic and capturing leads.. what George hasn't mentioned in his videos, which I'll add as an extra tip for ya... is to use a lead page capture, ie, pop under, or exit pop.

                I was going to do it on the site I am doing a case study on, but I promised myself that I wont use my strategies to show peeps it works... any ways, you can capture those peeps and offer them free reports or give them coupons - peeps are suckers for discounts

                Add some adsense links in there, plimus, paydotcom, clickbank, CPA offers, private affiliate offers on your pages, and in your newsletter emails, except adsense of course. and you'll be just fine.

                setting up a payment processor is easier than it looks... instructions on their site are dead easy to follow.

                Now as for setting up an ebook via elance, why not head over to goarticles, ezines, etc and copy 10-50 articles? I bet ya 99.99% of those who will read your ebook wont of read those articles at goarticles.

                But if you got a Q about what to do next on setting u a payment processor on your site, start a new thread in the ppc/seo/adsense section, since this is a review area for GSniper

    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.

    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....

    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

      Actually the FTC has come out not to clarify that they are not going after people just for non-disclosure and that they never have. It's going to take more than that for them to try to bring a case against you.

      I just made a post about this on my blog if you care to read further.

    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 have also bought this course and I'm very impressed with it. I am yet to put up any sites but plan to within the next week.

          I think that making good money from following GS is possible only if you choose the right keyword, niche and affiliate program to promote. It definitely is not going to happen overnight but if you follow everything I'm sure it can happen. Good luck to u all.

      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.

    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 dont need to build backlinks if you follow what George is showing you in gsniper.

        one thing that George hasn't mentioned in his gsniper is that, the more regular content that you create, the more google will pop over and crawl your page, google loves content, and will rank you even higher based on how regular you post content to your site. Try it!

    Hey Loz,

    I know that you've been promoting GSniper. Are you putting this method in to effect. If so, how are you getting on, how many sites do you have, and what results have you got?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[1310431].message }}

      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.

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

      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?

    I have watched this marketer by reading his sales pages
    and been a member of his mailing list for a while now.
    He seems like he is a nice chap and probably is honest.
    However that sales letter is hype city.

    I had the impression that this was some new, original
    ideas that the author had put together as an original
    system. That is not the case. The SEO discussed is the
    most basic SEO in existence. Keywords in Domain,
    Page Title, description etc.

    What he is basically suggesting is building "FLOGS".
    Making up characters (with stock photos) and stories.
    Under the current climate of the upcoming FTC changes
    this seems like risky behavior to me.

    This book was 99 pages and could have probably
    been written in 50. Quite a bit of fluff. If you
    have been reading this forum for more than a couple weeks
    I am going to say that you probably already know what is
    in this book.

    With that being said, if you are brand new to internet
    marketing and are looking for a step by step guide, and
    you want to lay out $77, then this would probably work
    for you. I think the topic of niche/keyword research
    could have been quite a bit more detailed though.

    Anybody upset about the continuity (Sniper Club) aspect
    of this has no case. It was disclosed in the sales letter.
    I thought it was pretty ballsy to include the continuity
    as a bonus and I give the author props for that one!
    --Oh wow, thanks. You mean I get to join your $37 a month
    club as a bonus?-- But it was disclosed very clearly.
    Not much inside the club area at all.

    The upsells. I passed on the coaching. I did buy the
    "$22,000 Secret" or whatever it was called. This is where
    I felt ripped off. This was a $67 52 page report on how to
    run a WSO. I kid you not... This one gives new meaning to
    "fluff". This seemed to be a grasping at straws to come up
    with an upsell in quick order. Very weak.

    Obviously I was disappointed with this product.
    I followed the pre-launch and the kid had me convinced he
    had something new. I am a little mystified with the
    feedback from the Warriors from when he had offered the product
    earlier in a WSO. I am at a loss as to what the rage was
    about. This stuff is all very basic and has been out there
    for quite some time.

    But... It has the edgy "Google _________" name going for it
    and it claims to have the secret sauce, so I am sure it will
    sell a ton. People want to believe the loopholes and secrets
    really exist.

      I think that is the most honest thing said about the whole sniper system, I honestly thought it was some new techniques and was very disappointed. I think it was very cheeky that 22k in a week, if he said it was running WSOs I think he would have a lot less refunds.

      I put in 2 support tickets for a refund and haven't heard from anyone over at google sniper.

      An excellent praisee and critically objective report by you Mitch.

      I think you hit the nail on the head in so much as indicating that this is nothing new. Basic keyword research and mining and basic SEO techniques including keyword rich domain names. The thing here worth focusing on is that the GS "system" advocates honing in using one single keyword phrase and creating a mini-site around it. By staying entirely focused on one Keyword (high density search and lower competition) you can't fail to eventually get on to Google Page 1 provided that you remain SEO active. I don't buy the argument that a keyword rich dormant WP Kubrick homepage with zero content and no backlinks could remain at Google page 1 for very long,.. it's a kind of Google-dance fluke.

      People want to believe in loopholes and the latest quick fix,.. especially among Warriors (specifically newer less experienced members).
      George has a unique angle,... " hey look at me... an 18y/o guy that's not a guru and is making a killing using this great system,.. if I can do it then so can you".
      Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying that George is a BS'er or a fake,.. because clearly he has created a system that works. But a lot of people can relate to this young guy and warm up to his sincere personality and therefore give it a go. But as Mitch has said "its nothing new". In fact, for $77 I'd say that Commission Blueprint goes a lot further to offering a replicatable formula for creating successful sites,... and those sites don't have to be entirely about Clickbank products,... that's just one monetization strategy for the traffic that comes from creating massive organic SERPS traffic!

    • Hey Mitch,

      Did you implement the stuff yet? A 50 page guide on how to run a WSO, dude, it works, who cares what the system is, the reality is that it works and makes money. Had you done it, you'd have made money. That is what matters.

      I teach people to make money on the internet, nothing else. If you want a good read or "less fluff" as you call it and want to be entertained, buy a novel.

      As for the uniqueness of Google Sniper, I think it is. Unique in that no I don't build backlinks, and that no I don't build huge authority sites, and that no it's not super complicated because it doesn't need to be.

      I suggest you try the system out, make some money with it and maybe stop looking for a kind of "magic bullet" because baby, there ain't one.

    Yes I have been building blogs with my targeted keywords in the domain, title and description for a long time. I have also produced videos to market the blog. Since that more or less is the system, yes I have implemented it.

    I have rarely been able to keep a blog such as that in the top 3 without adding further content and backlinking. Frankly I don't think you can either. You will get the short term ranking but it won't last unless you add content/backlinks. I would love for you to prove me wrong though as it would make things much easier.

    Do you have some of these sites where you could show you have held your ranking for an extended time without adding backlinks or content?
    Maybe you could do a camtasia video on one of your domains and show us the history of one of these that has kept it's rank for say, oh six months?

    Yes I have ran WSO's. Some were profitable and some were not. I did not find anything in your upsell that would have changed my results. I certainly didn't find any content that I would be willing to pay $67 for.

    "I teach people to make money on the internet, nothing else. If you want a good read or "less fluff" as you call it and want to be entertained, buy a novel."

    Not sure what your point is here, but I think a novel would pretty much be ALL fluff wouldn't it? Since I am not looking for fluff, it won't surprise you that I have never read a novel in my life. That's the point really. I am not looking to be entertained when I buy a book such as this. My time is limited and I want it short and sweet. I am not sure where you saw me say that I wanted to be entertained?

    "As for the uniqueness of Google Sniper, I think it is. Unique in that no I don't build backlinks, and that no I don't build huge authority sites, and that no it's not super complicated because it doesn't need to be.

    I suggest you try the system out, make some money with it and maybe stop looking for a kind of "magic bullet" because baby, there ain't one."

    That is also kind of my point. There is no magic bullet, but yet that is pretty much what you make your product appear to be isn't it? Before you answer that one you might want to go back and re-read your sales letter.

    This isn't about implementing. It was an assessment of your product. I have offered my critique based on my experience. It's nothing personal at all. You can either take my opinions under your consideration, or discount them as meaningless. That's up to you.

    As far as putting your product into use, as I have already stated, I have used most of what you discussed as a part of my strategies for a long time although I have never thought of them as George Brown strategies, but rather just basic SEO. And as I have said these strategies alone are not enough to make it work, based on my experience.


    According to your last video you did about $440k on this. I hate to think what might have became of me if I had come across that kind of money when I was 18. You are doing well, just be careful. That money can go away a lot quicker than you might think!

      This was supposed to be a PM to the original poster. But, since I don't have enough postings myself, I couldn't PM him. So, here it is:

      I was going through the Google Sniper today after buying it a few days ago. I ran across the same problem with Keyword Elite that you describe, namely, "no data" in the "competing pages" section. So, after emailing support and waiting, I started to search for answers and came to this forum. I am a member, although a newbie when it comes to IM. Anyway, I came across your post and was floored. I had the exact same three problems/concerns which you list about GS. I mean exactly, in the same order.
      1) Upsells - Let me say first that the videos all worked for me so no problem there. I passed on the first upsell but I took the second one ($10,000 in one week). While the marketing advice seemed great (just like Google Sniper), I take issue with the central premise that anyone can come up with their own product that will sell on this forum. This is definitely NOT for a Newbie. You can't just slap something together and expect to sell it on this forum without destroying your reputation. I will, however, keep it for a later date, in the hope that I'll have something worth selling in the future.

      2) Keyword Elite 2.0 - George's demonstration video was great, and for a Newbie like me, it seemed well worth the money. But when I downloaded my 14 day free trial it was defective. It kept showing "NO DATA" for competition on every keyword generated and it kept saying that it was encountering a problem and had to shut down. I had to uninstall it. I'm saying this because if I had a defective download, others may also have had trouble and that will cost both George Brown and Brad Callen money - and I would REALLY like a version that works.

      3) I have a problem with the concept of creating fictional characters and fictional stories for these affiliate products. I know the rule of the marketplace is caveat emptor, but local statutory law is constantly attacking this rule. It definitely sounds like the sort of thing that could be declared illegal depending on where you're located. The new FTC guidelines for example - will they make this illegal in December?
      Unbelievable. I felt compelled to PM you about this before I even read the rest of the thread. So, if the "no data", answer is in there then I will find it. Please, if you don't mind, keep me informed of your progress. I feel like I am in the same boat as you. The exact same boat. Unreal. Anyway, here's my info: WF: lsjimm Email: removed

        In my experience you get this problem when google detects that you're using a program to scan and not an actual human. You can verify this by doing a manual search and seeing if you get a captcha.

        They'll eventually let you off the hook. Google has different max rates based on where you're coming from. At work I can search all day and not get hit. From home, I have to slow it down.

        KWE2 has an 'SE Courtesy' setting that you should use to tweak your delay between queries. After experimentation and talking the the support folks I have settled on 8-12 seconds and haven't been blocked since.

        On Topic: My first three GS sites have hit top ranking for both phrase and broad. Now to see if they make money!

          I'm thinking of buying GS but I'd really like to see a site that was made by someone who used it. I guess it may not be possible to show such a site, depending on whether that would reveal proprietary information, but if a lot of the product is mostly about SEO then maybe just seeing a site would be OK. If its not OK to point to a site, please ignore me. If it is possible, please post a link. Thanks.

    @Mitch,.. an excellent response to George's post. The points you made are very relevant and made from a very sensible and objective perspective. I think the point you made regarding the longevity of a Sniper site remaining at GP1 for an extended period without content and backup links is very relative and I too would welcome George's response on that. Although, to be fair to George, he did say that it all depended (on competition coming up behind you,.... perhaps ironically from another GS graduate) and a site could last at GP1 for 2 months or even a year (when the competition is sleeping or on extended vacation!).

    As far as George's response and his claims both before and after sales, I get that he is a genuine bloke and that he really does mean well for his fellow IM warriors at the same time as being commercially opportunist with it (as any decent business person would be expected to be). The back up support and response issues are probably due to huge demands on his time and perhaps an unanticipated success with GS2.

    @Isjimm, I have KE2 and it is a terrific tool. BUT,.. the backend (engine on Brad's server) appears to need work and data input in certain areas. I often get "data unailable" or "insufficient data" when for the same Keyword search using Google tool or Keyword Blueprint Tool (highly recommended) I do get definate data. If I were you Isjimm I'd download the 7 day trial of Commission Blueprint with which comes the Keyword Tool and the Offer Analyzer which are both great for doing in depth PPC and SEO searches. Also the Commission Blueprint program can be bought for $77 which is a definate saving on $197 for KE2 (although thats worth having).
    @George,.. if the $440k earnings remark is accurate I just say "well don son".. power to your elbow! But I agree with Mitch,.. don't let it slip away as it can easily do. I have personal experience in that regard having worked all my life for the standard family wage. Then in late 2000 I went into real estate in Sydney Australia and by June 2002 I'd made over $1.3mil clear profit,.. but 6 years later it has all gone,.. bought too many toys,.. too many wild holidays, some bad investements, trusted wrong business people, lawyers, hanger-onners. Lesson learned,.. now I'm focused on the next million that I'll know how to manage and grow rather than letting it drift away as happened before. I say this not for bragging or sympathy because I have a great life now and I'm living in beautiful Thailand with my gorgeous Thai wife and 2 boys,... just words of experience that I hope could be meaningful to any reader.

    Cheers my fellow warriors, Russ.

      Hi Russ

      I read your post about commission blueprint
      keyword tool you say it's just as good KE2

      I assume you meant comment commission blue1
      for $77.

      because commission blue2 is about $500.

      is that right

      Thanks

  • Mitch, I'm ill and it's 23:00 over here so I won't reply in super amounts of detail but I read what you said. I'm not sure what you are suggesting that Google Sniper doesn't work? It does, and I have sent many examples to anyone that requested it in this thread.

    EDIT removed personal stuff

    I am very proud of google sniper and get defensive when people bad mouth or critisize my product, if it were you, you would as well. We're only human :-)

    As for the product, well, I mean you can look at the WSO, the testimonials and just about any other thread than this one and you'll see the kind of feedback and results people have given. And some more here too: Google Sniper (many of them from fellow warrior members)

    Honestly, in terms of whether you should buy it or not, it's up to you, you can get it if you want, I don't really mind at this point. It is you that will see the most benefit from investing $77. I would love to see you in the Q & A webinars and seeing success with the system sure, but I'm not goin to keep checking this thread "convincing" people to buy or debating, I'd rather spend that time working on next months sniping content.

    update: Well my first site is still on the first page of google. It is fluxuating between spot 1 and 4 at any given time. This has been going on for a week now. NO money though. I think I picked a bad niche that doesn't have a lot of traffic. Although the keyword tool MNF said it does.

    Got my second site up yesterday and waiting for google to index it. Hopefully this one will make some money as it is on a more popular niche.

    I would actually prefer to do these sites on physical products as doing them on the digital side of things is a bit of pain.

    George-when are you going to show how you do it for physical products?

    I don't mind the work or smaller payouts. I just want to get rid of my debt.

    This is a REVIEWS forum. Where else are people supposed to point out faults they find with a product?

    "It strikes me that people who already know all about on-page SEO, review sites, and marketing Clickbank products should probably have the wherewithal to determine that a course on the same isn't going to be overly beneficial to them before spending the $77."

    This is the place that provides that 'wherewithal'. Intelligent reviews from differing points of view, in a non-confrontational manner.

    You can only review something if you try it. I have just done my first site and am impressed. 4th on Google for main target term first page for another and for 2 highly competitive terms within the first 30 results. Did I mention I built the site yesterday! I don't know about the earnings yet it's too early but this system looks to be worth far more than what I spent buying it. Try it maybe it will work for you as well.

    Hey Guys,

    I just bought GS... actually downloading as I type this.
    Hmmm.. my first upsell page was really weird. I had basically one option. That I had to buy the 1st upsell.... From the comments here on this forum I declined. I just kept clicking on the no thanks part (which by the way didn't have a hyperlink) -
    Anyway... I just watched the first video Georgie boy is rather kinesthetic. Good sign...

    Just thinking that this method may quick easily be worth a shot and marry it up with market samurai... I love market samurai... Just wish the functionality of it was even faster. Don't get me wrong it is fast as it is - although tedious that I have to log in here there and everywhere at some different points.

    I just can't seem to find the training area. Meaning where is the training section the membership forum? I understand its free for the first month - but where is all the content? It is already making me think that I am going to cancel at the end of the month.... thoughts?



    Let's see how this goes! All the best folks

    Is anyone else having trouble with the trial version of Keyword Elite? The program takes sooo long to get data, and then all of a sudden closes on me. Very annoying.

    On George's program, I do have to say it's a solid system. Although you can nitpick at certain areas you have to realise that it is a system that George introduces. And some parts may be basic such as SEO but if it works then it works, you cannot argue with results, and it's important to realise this was written with newbies in mind too. I know some people are saying that results wont last if you build no backlinks, but there is nothing stopping you from doing a bit of link building (is it that much of a big deal?). If you're earning $300 per month per site, I'd be happy to do a small amount of link building to keep my ranking, even if I had 50 sites.

    All in all I think the system is solid, its jus Keyword elite which is annoying.

    That's great that you hit the #1 spot on Google really quickly. I'm curious what you based your search volume figures on for researching the niche? Was is Keyword Elite or Google?
    If it was Google, did you use exact match or phrase match settings? How low was the sniff test exact match competing site figures for you to attain #1 spot so quickly?

    Thanks

    In your last post in this thread are you supposing that an affiliate marketer cannot be honest? You are wrong all the way

    As an affiliate I'm a middle man... I do review and recommends products. In this particular case: I wrote a review about the Google Sniper Method, I explain the why the Google sniper method is not perfect. I highlight some flaw...

    Also, I explained that this method will not help you to master all the internet marketing skills... but I also show why Google Sniper is effective, why George Montagu Brown can say this method can help you to enjoy a 20% conversion rate.

    The main reason Google Sniper Works is simple and many people don't get it: the method is easy to set up, any newbie can have great result with it... but the most important Reason you are selling to PRE-SOLD prospects...

      I'm suggesting that posting a recommendation in section of the Warrior Forum that promotes an affiliate link to the product in question is not an independant review. Whether or not you are using the common technique of pointing out a product has flaws to make your review appear balanced.

      At the end of the day, I personally would take with a pinch of salt the opinions of someone who stands to financially benefit from recommending a product. As I say, it's hardly an unbiased recommendation is it?

      Just my opinion.

    Then, I have seee many people quetioning the Google Sniper Method as I did. some people highlighted that Google Sniper don't bring nothing new... For me the method is not new but the fact is this method works!

    I did not care about what George montagu Brown will think when I wrote it...

    If I told you what the product is, and why this method is not pefect but effective and explain why it works, why I could not recommend it?

    Now, it is up to you to exploit this method or not...

    I will reapeat it the Google sniper method is not perfect but it is very effective, it can help anyone, a complete newbie to make $ 200 or more per month from each product or niche he choose to promote...

    This is a fact...

Like others had said before the methods was doesn't much new..some similar steps mention by other program such as Money Siphon System - Johnny Andrews, Com.Blueprint 2, etc but George did make me more to understand the common sense in IM, Keyword Research, tips to understand what the market tell you which is sometime difficult to explain.

            It's LOZ, not "by the askloz"

            Why dont you use php redirects? you can add more link juice by using your own site and using keywords in that redirect.

              Sorry, LOZ, won't happen again. And thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try it as soon as I get my act together on the technical end.

            Best of luck, the sales will come evenutally, it's just about building more traffic. I hate the "if you build it they will come " approach, honestly I think it's a crock, I prefer "if you build it and then you build a motorway directly up to it's door - they will come". We have generated 50% of our traffic from just a simple YT channel , my advice is to build the site and build traffic to it from simple, zero cost , rapid techniques , not only does this get you a bit of backlinking you also get more traffic sources.

            In regards links, I personally am not a fan of adding direct affiate links to sites, there seems to be a solid amount of of discussion coming out from the big guns in this market that Google ain't ecstatic about aff links everywhere, it's hard to tell where exactly the truth lies about the issue but to be safe , I always use an ad server which encodes the link or if using Wordpress I use the WP affiliate plugin which makes redirects.

            Openx for everybody reading this is fantastic , free and works a charm if you want to deliver multiple ads across mulitple snper sites and then just change all those adds in seconds.

              discussion coming out from the big guns in this market that Google ain't ecstatic about aff links everywhere
              Simon, if you're referring to the Google "thin affiliate" slap, I believe a lot of
              affiliate links with Click Here text is a red flag to Google to label your site this
              way. So, I can see where structuring your affiliate links as in-content links would be safer.

              Where would I find this WP affiliate link plug-in and does it cloak the links?

              Thanks

              George

              Thanks. Great advice. I haven't done the YT thing because I used a fictional character (yeah, I know about the FTC issue, but I've looked at the guidelines, and I don't believe they make this any more unacceptable than it's been since internet marketing began). I'm thinking of doing a YT power point with a narrative, but have absolutely no idea how to do it yet. Your advice makes me think I should just sit down and study YouTube and Wordpress both in detail before I do another site. Thanks again.

                Hi

                A few tips then based on your comments.

                a) On YT, we didn't use any names, here's how I believe you should do it and this is what I have taught my friend and it works.

                If your niche site domain and primary LSI term is for example

                www.red-luxury-towels.com

                Then our YT channel would be

                www.youtube.com/user/redluxurytowels

                NOT your name or even a fake name etc.

                Then your video title should be red luxury towels , your description and tags should be similar.

                A quick sneaky trick you can do is find the no1 to no 3 rated video in your niche, run the URL of that video through YT's keyword research tool and find what tags they used, the paste THEIR tags into your video, bit sneaky but this will then put your video in a better placement after somebody watches THEIR no1 rated video - shussh :-)

                Also naming your video in a similar vein to the top rated video in your niche is also a nice trick,.

                So that's point 1.

                In regards making videos, simple, you have a variety of choices if your not up to speed with say Windows movie maker. Just use something like animoto, or other similar tool.

                You can use your voice in the background along with images from royalty free sites appearing in the video, slap in a few scrolling bullet points with the key points your talking about and voila, you have a video.

                Ensure you make a channel on YT and have it link back to your money site, put the domain name in the video permanently, not just at the start or the end but permanently at the bottom and put it in blue with a fake underline.

                At the end of the video actually say verbally "For more information on how to save money and locate the best red towels visit www.redluxurytowels.com

                Also put that in text in the frame while your saying it.

                You'll get a decent CTR from that approach.

                That's how I go about it .

                YT is also only the start, this is really getting way out of the arena of Google Sniper and I don't really want to keep cluttering up this thread even if it is giving George good exposure but suffice to say once you make a video go to tubemogul or similar, set up an account on every video sharing site and blast your video out to all those sites as well.

                Here's the bottom line and people just don't want to hear it.

                The people who make money in this business ain't that clever, I make hundreds of thousands a year in various niches, I'm not that bright, I just as Nike would say " Do It".

                It's a numbers game, make a lot of sites, make a lot of articles, spin a lot of articles, submit em, make 2.0, make videos, get your **** out there and keep building more and more lanes of your motorway/highway up to your money sites front door and sales will come.

                This applies to every and all types of site, whether they be niche sites or otherwise, it's just about constantly churning stuff out , try stuff, track it, see what happens.

                The worst kind of people are those than build 3 sites, then sit back for 2 months waiting to see what happens.

                I can tell you what happens, like night follows day, if you keep building sites, if you keep tweaking and adding your own twist and keep building traffic sources, you will make money.

      I think if you do any business in the US or with any business that is based in the US "i.e. clickbank" you would fall under any FTC regulations. It would not surprise me to see clickbank with a new affiliate contract up before December... to try to protect themselves.

        nah.. US has no control over UK. and visa versa.

        Only those who have businesses in the US have to conform to FTC regs.

        But hey, whats wrong with saying on a website, "these results are not typical, yes this person did buy this yada yada course, and yes they did make X amount, all information can be verified upon request".

        This is what started all this BS with FTC, at least some of it any way. these marketers hyping up their sales pages to make them sound like as if its the best thing since sliced bread. I've seen ppl make fake statements for testimonials, or got their friends and friends of friends to make videos to say things work, ie, FAP Turbo, each of those ppl are part of the ForexBrotherHood crew.

        Then you start getting all these complaints, i guess this is one way to reduce those complaints.. but not their main motive behind something as strong as what they're doing, I mean, the stupid sods have prevented US Forex Brokers from Hedging now... WTF, now all these US Companies have sodded off to UK, Australia, AGAIN!

    Google Sniper is a great system for anyone who is brand new to internet marketing to learn to be honest, plus the plan seems so actionable you won't be sitting on your ass pondering your next move; if you don't have a proper market research tool though it may be tough finding keywords under x number of competition.

    The "Getting Ranked and Gaining Authority on Record Time" section was okay; but I wish George expanded on the concept of backlinks a bit more; no matter how small the amount of sites with the keyword phrase in the web title, if they have backlinks you're gonna have problems getting your site above the fold (a.k.a in the top 4), which is where most of the traffic clicks.

    Other than that; pretty decent guide, liked the video tutorials that came with it, easy to watch and understand what George is saying.

    You can make money with this system though, it's simple but effective; and that alone is worth the small amount of $77 that George charges.

      I've been spending one long afternoon a week at a friends place using the general information from Georges product and John Xfactors product , a friend wanted some way to make some money online so I condensed everything he needed from those two products and over the last 2 weeks, we spent saturday afternoons setting up 8 sniper sites.

      We have 8 listings in the top 8 on page 1, about 5 in the top 2 positions on page 1 for the keywords, all within about 14 days.

      We have done some things not mentioned in either book but I've kept it very basic for him, basically a tiny amount of backlinking, thrown in some bookmarking, and a couple of 2.0's linking back to the sniper site to beef them up a bit , we set up a Youtube channel to match each site and wanged some videos up with the sniper site URL's in and tube moguled a few vids as well.

      Total time spent about 25 hours realisticly including tea breaks, pizza time, video creation, 2.0 creation, social marker etc etc ,baring in mind I had him working next to me mirroring what I was doing on the other PC, it's worked out to about t 12 hours each.

      We are getting nearly 1000 hits per week , not huge granted but it's only a couple of weeks in and we have already made sales. I installed openX on the sites and we are rotating various offers, CPA, CB and other stuff to see what pays the best bang for the buck.

      We intend to increase from 7 sites to about 100 over the next few Saturday's get the articles into the article databases, do some more bookmarking, some more video marketing, slap up a few link clouds with 2.0 and I estimate he will have a reasonably stable income of $2k-$3+ per month from this one tiny project which will take in reality about 2 weeks of proper work, I'll get a warm fuzzy feeling for knowing I've helped a friend transform his income and he may actually get his wallet out at the pub once in a while :-)

      All this stuff works, you just have to actually do it, it's an ideal newbie starter product and great for helping those family and friends who keep asking you how to make some money online.

        Question Steven, did you feel the need to make sure all of keywords you were targeting had a in quotes competition of under 7000?

          Hi

          All the current sites I've built for him have been based in one specific niche as this is a niche he knows the topic on, we intend to build the other 90+ sites in the exact same niche using more LSI on that topic, some have under 7000 , some have considerably more, in my opinion the actual number of competition is almost irrelevent, I mean that, the only important factor is what is the quality of the competition.

          I can find you terms with a huge number of competing sites but if you take some time to look at the sites you'll see that a position on page 1 which will get clicks is still viable as 99.9% of the competition is very weak and can be off paged SEO'd out of existence.

          Off page SEo isn't something George's product goes into much, he's much more of a low competition, zilch off page work kinda guy, so you would need to find that info elsehwere if you want to move out of Georges format and just deal with on page and intelligent niche finding.

          I'll admit that some of what I'm teaching my friend falls well outside of Georges's and John's products but the basics you need can be found in both products, the information on social bookmarking, RSS, 2.0's, link clouds/wheels etc can all be found easily , these simply allow you to be somewhat more leniant in your LSI / niche selection as you can give the sites a little steriod injection to make up for going for tougher higer trafficed terms.

          It's "Simon" by the way not "Steven" :-)

    Apologies for the name switch there Simon.

    My experiment with a test google sniper site is having mixed results; I haven't seemed to moved an inch from the 8th position on the 1st page, but I have another page of my google sniper website on the 2nd page in the 1st position, the only competitor I have to beat to get above the fold is a yahoo answers page.

    Now I've recently bookmarked the site; used a few of Angela's high PR profile sites to link back to the site and have had my website put on a resource link section of an authority site with a page rank of 3 in my niche

    Only problem is; the backlinks don't seem to be registering with either google or Yahoo site explorer.

    I'll give it a couple days for google to register the backlinks, if I don't see my site move up the rankings I'll build a link 2.0 wheel.

    Even though the traffic isn't great from the 8th position, I am still getting 8 - 10 visits a day from google for my main keyword and 1-2 from LSI's; enough for around 5 - 6 hops a day.

    Any tips on what else I should do?

      I would bang up an article or two , I know it's heresy around here but I'm not a fan of backlink packages in general, I would much rather opt for a paying somebody to write a dozen articles for a few bucks each and submit them to article directories with a resource box back to your money site using around 50% the same anchor text and 50% differing versions of your primary key phrase.

      The other thing I would say is build LOTS and LOTS of sites, with the best will in the world, some will bum out, some will do great, we now have a no1 position this morning for one of the sites I mentioned above.

      You need volume in the micro niche game, some turn up trumps others make you $50 a month if you're lucky, keep churning em out.

    Folks, could you please stop PM'ing me about George's system, I've answered all of them so far, but I'm pretty busy so perhaps either ask in this thread where lots of other people can help or if you own Georges product perhaps drop George a line.

    I'll try to help when I can, I just don't want PM's piling up and people thinking I'm being rude by not responding.

    Thanks all.

    Ok so I've been looking at this lately, and thinking that although maybe 90% of people are going down the affiliate route, I'm going to test this using CPA. In fact what I'm going to do is combine this with a few WSO's I've purchased and create more of a unique system.

    I just think this would be beneficial considering everyone who purchased is going down the Clickbank route, and it's highly competitive already. One thing I would suggest to everyone is cherry pick information from different courses and create a unique system, i.e building traffic, ranking in the SERPS etc. I think what people are doing is relying on George's method down to a tee, but where you can really expand on this is by adding your own twists to the system. That would mean less competition for you, depending on how you add to his system.

    From what I have read it's seems Simon has done this by tweaking the method to suit him. I certainly won't just be relying on just search engine traffic. Also, I personally will build links to these sites, even if it's just a few, for my own piece on mind. But kudos to George for laying down such a strong foundation for people to build their online business.

But kudos to George for laying down such a strong foundation for people to build their online business.
      Exactly, I've been adding CPA offers, Clibank offers, CJ offers, all rotating nicely across these 8 sites, I used Openx to deliver the content. I've got my friend making his own CPA accounts now rather than use mine and he's hunting down targeted niche offers constantly for testing.

      Something else I do personally on my niche sites and this doesn't hold true for review sites etc but it's perfect for some sites is I go out of my way to create mediocre content, yep, seriously poor ot medicore , this is on the single page sites where my only objective is to get them to click on an offer.

      I provide the barest minimum information and then use the lack of answer to guide them towards clicking on the product I then want to sell to resolve their problem, every time I've tried providing quality information on the sites my CTR drops, this applies to CJ, CB, CPA, and especially adsense.

      This is a departure from Georges specific technique but I'm just giving you options.

      Big tip, when they leave your site, if you havn't got some kind of system that gives them an opportunity to sign up, some kind of lead magnet, then honestly I think people are insane who don't do this, build a list with all that traffic you're driving, offer the same product in the e-mail and then offer more stuff.

      As long as it's good content, it's not spammy, make it easy to opt out, be upfront about what you're going to send to them, keep the content hugely targeted to what they wanted the information on.

      Send interesting articles with a "sponsored by " link at the bottom with the offer etc.

      All this stuff is so basic but can treble or more your income from each and every site, it's amazing how few people do it.

      Imagine if 6 months from now some amazing product comes out in your niche , the most amazing red luxury towel is developed and you now have a list of 20k to email this out to. Bang, it's like a CASH ATM at your disposal.

      Set up a simple account at Aweber, Get a response or somewhere and start building a list, just give away some free report that you can make from PLR content in your niche and voila, you're now a list owner who can churn out some $$$ at any given moment.

      George's system is great , it's the stuff I always point people to who are newbies who need some way to get started but I think even George would admit there is more than one way to skin a cat and certainly you can do a lot more than find a niche slap a site up and hope for the best.

      Unless you're looking at very small niches, you're most likely going to need to adopt a more proactive approach to maximise revenue long term and that means doing the basics but adding , tweaking, testing and adapting as well.

        Hi Simon, this is truly an outstanding post. I've enjoyed all of your Google Sniper posts with their very relevant tips. I'm certainly not a newbie and although I understand the GS system very well and I'm having a lot of fun implementing it along with using Market Samurai (which is awesome and I would contend is far superior & quicker to use than KE2..which I also have but dont use much since getting Market Samurai), I would have to say that your broadened approach to blending GS with other SEO and Web2 strategies is truly excellent. There are lots of distinctions you make that would allow anyone to highly capitalize by applying them. You've provided so much rich procedural detail here for free and yet you could easily turn it into a product in its own right. Many thanks for sharing the true warrior spirit,..and kudos and good karma to you!

            Hugely. SENuke lets you take a sniper site that would sit at 3rd place and get it to 2nd or 1st. It also lets you tackle markets / keywords with tougher competition. SENuke was where I put the first $150 (Canadian dollars, lol) that I made from the Google Sniper system.

            Granted, you could do it all by hand, but it would take TONS of time that you could use to... yup, put up even more sites!

            You want massive results with Google Sniper? Combine it with Market Samurai for keyword research and competition analysis and SENuke for giving your sites that extra boost. IMO those 2 tools should come packed with GS!

    Im planning on buying this system but im curious as to what you can sell on these niche sites. I understand that clickbank has a marketplace for affliate programs, but can you use this formula and build a site to sell actualy physcial products? and if this is possible to do how would you be able to have this work? meaning lets say i build a niche site for "hotel tickets" if i cant link it to a clickbank offer how would i make money?? I plan on buying the course asap but was just curious

    Hey guys,
    sorry for the off topic, gsniper is a great course.
    But if you put up a new wp blog then you have to read this post otherwise it will not get indexed!

      its one of the first things WP asks you as you login or install. not sure how one can miss it, but i agree, WP should have it set to that to be indexed by default, gawd knows what they were thinking at the time.

        Hi Everyone,

        Appreciate if someone can give lend me a piece of thought here..

        I have used GSniper and yup it works. The thing i want to ask is, not all the targeted keywords has relevant affiliate products associated with them. I am focusing more on digital products.

        Has anyone encountered the same issue and any idea to work around this? I know that i can engage a writer from elance.com to do up the ebook but what about setting up the payment processor?

        Appreciate if someones who has done this before shed some light here. I am sure it would be a great help to other warriors too.

        Million Thanks!

        Oh, ok didn't know that. Probably because I use fantastico to install my WP blogs, but I think many people use fantastico. They should fix this

          You should really do that stuff yourself, never rely on automated stuff like that, cos you dont know what it's exactly doing... plus there's no guarantee that the Wp soft is up todate, most hosts dont update it soon enough.

            Yes Loz,.. this is a fact that many hosts and Fantastico dont keep up to date with the latest Wp version install. The problem with installing yourself is the time it takes to upload and then to manually set up the configure.php parameters such as WP database prefix user names and password,.. and then need to manuallu set up a database. There is a security issue regarding the standard databse tables prefix of "wp_" that fantastico sets up by default, so in order to rectify this I follow a simple procedure.
            1. Use fantastico for the intsall set up
            2. Go to your WP admin panel and clcik the "upgrade to latest version of WP" link at the top of your dashboard. It will warn you to do a backup of database and file but theres no need as this is an empty install at this stage,.. so go ahead and click "upgrade automatically"
            3. Go to "settings/Privacy" and make sure your install is set up to "allow search engines and Technorati to find your blog"
            4. Go to your MySQLmyadmin and download a copy of your database tables (if you have no experience with this just Google "how to export mySQL database")
            5. When you have the .txt file of your database tables saved to your desktop open it up using Microsoft Word doc and click on the search (binoculars icon) in the bottom right corner of your browser. Select the "replace" tab and then "advanced" and in the "find" window type in this (wp_) without brackets, then in the replace window type in something individual that hackers wouldnt be looking such as (fxt7D_) without brackets. then in the advanced options select "match case" and "match suffix" and then click "go". In about 2 seconds it will replace all 55 instances of "wp_" with "fxt7D_". You now need to save it,.. make sure that you save it as a UTF-8 language code, and name it "fxt7D-database" so you can recognize it from the original. Next go to phpmyadmin and select the database that was installed by fantasticol. Select all tables using the "select all" checkbox and the in the window at the bottom right select "truncate" from the menu (this will empty the existing tables). Then click the "import" tab for the newly installed database and select your fxt7D_ file from the "browse" file uploader,.. and click "go". you should get a dialogue box telling you that you've successfully imported the new file to the database.
            6. Using your ftp client open up the wordpress files on your server for the domain concerned and then open up "configure.php". Find the line (should be around line 56) that says $table_prefix = 'wp_';
              and replace 'wp_'; with your new prefix 'fxt7D_'; then press save.
            Thats it,.. you're all done. If this was done successfully you now have the latest version of WP installed, with a unique WordPress Database Table prefix that makes it secure. Search engines will also be able to find you now.
            For added security you should to "users" in you WP admin file and add a new administrator "Spiderman" (anything other than "admin") and select a unique and complex password that yopu can remember. Set user name to display as anything you like (including "admin") as this is what will be displayed when you make posts and comments on your blog. Once set up,.. erase the original default "admin" user profile as this can be a security issue because hackers usually assume an "admin" user name and then use software to guess/hack your password.... if they are successful its " bye bye blog".
            I realize for many warriors this is old news but for any that it presents as a new challenge... if you get stuck feel free to PM me

      Tony have you tried going to the support section on the website? Then you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone by solving your problem and giving feedback here, as to how good or bad the support is with google sniper.

      I purchased the google sniper system on the 20 October. I have 3 sniper sites so far, all the sites were created on the same day. All 3 sites took 4 days to get indexed by google.

      - Site #1 is ranking at 66 for the keyword I am targetting.
      - Site #2 is ranking on page 2 at position 8.
      - Site #3 is not in the top 100.

      None are getting traffic at the moment, so not making money but will keep you updated on the progress as it is early days.

    Hi Guys/Girls..

    I hope you are well! I am new to George's Sniper in fact new to internet marketing!

    I am spending some good amount of time implementing the system (..to the letter!) and trying to do it right...but on FTP plugins that I have transferred over to my server (Bluehost)..once activated I can not get more themes up etc...

    Have I done something wrong here? Forgive my ignorace...

    I hope this system works for me, as I did a lot of research on it and I found that there mostly very good reviews and positive feedback.

    Spk Soon..

    **** UPDATE *****

    This is a update from post #132....

    I now have 5 snipers site up. It is taking me about 3 hours to set them up (far better then the first site that took 6 hour)

    I am finding good keywords ( high search and low compitition).

    I have 3 keywords ready to purchase domain and build a sniper site.

    **** PROBLEM *****

    i am having problem moving my site up in the SE. I am getting visit but not enough to make sales. I know that the product sell, as i am selling through PPC.

    i have 1 site on page 1 for main keyword but no sale.

    I am not understanding link building, and bookmarking but as george say you dont need this for sniper site ( but it helps )

    **** SOLUTION ****

    Looking for a helping hand. I now that some one can not produce sale but 2 mind are better then one. and by looking at it through another pair of eyes i am sure that i can get them higher in the SE and producing sales.

    If you are willing to help, shoot me a PM.

    I would appriciate it and if i can help anyone i please let me know.

    Patience is difficult and I am making money in IM but.. I wanna make more. Im sure this method works although even George says you have to get experience and tweak it a little here or there.

    Also I have been watching George's updates. He is apparently excited about a way to automate making sniper sites but is mum on the how. No doubt the sweet teen is ready to monetise that method too (I would too, cant blame him!).

    Anyways... good luck everyone.

      I'm curious about Sniper since I see George is starting to promote what appears to be WPMage. Sniper is George's own product, right? I think for WordPress Mage he would be an affiliate. I wonder if he has a unique way to blend the two and make it even more profitable. Yes, I am using WPMage.

        With all due respect to George, but I think he's making a big mistake with Mage, ok, it may work for now, but that content is duplicate content, it only changes a few words here and there, and remains about 1% or less unique.

        I told him about my scripts which spits out 80-90% unique content, i figured he wanted to go for a solution that was already up and running so his members could take advantage of it... fair enough, but, I'm not gonna say "I told ya so" a year later when those sites dont end up doing what it was supposed to... these kind of short cuts to getting lazy content wont live for long...

        want a job done properly, then do it right the first time around

          that is what alot of experienced auto-bloggers think before they try it.
          You will actually see a detailed review come up on a well respected (within the a-blogging community) bloggers website who has went hands on with the Mage and he thought the same thing too before he actually tried it

          it is not a 'thin' system

          Once you get your hands on it you will see why it is powerful. It does things better than any mashup of tools on the market and it is completely modular so you can use and mix in your own methods

          it is over a year in the making by a team of 5 and . I am a pro-affiliate and use it myself to earn. ( i did not build it to sell, that was an afterthought)

          send me a PM for more info and a walkthrough as I dont want to take this thread off track.

            Dude...

            You can't pull the wall over my eyes, I've been there and done it before.

            I tried your lazy approach of getting content, it don't last! Your method of getting content is not unique when you switch from English to X language back to English again. One would be lucky to see 10 words changed out of a 400-500 article.

            I have my own custom designed scripts that does this, and my content is around 70-90% unique, and with proper site structure makes the page even more unique.

            You'll find that Google is forever changing it's algorithm, and it wont be long before all your sites become useless, or to a point your revenue drops.

            I'm not saying your ideas is bad - far from it - probably good for any newbie who wants to make an extra $1k a month out of 30-40 sites, I mean, I have over 1600 sites that do it. I have CPA offers, CB offers, Paydotcom offers, pilmus offers, and RSS Affiliate feed offers which all scrap my affiliate link and automatically place the links in the right places in the content that create php redirects as my affiliate links, plus some other sources of revenue added to the sites. These alone bring in over 10 million unique visitors to my entire site network, and 6 figures per month.

            The only beef I have is the content issue.

            If you can spend more time to make the content more unique, you'll have a long lasting, solid model. But until then, your model is only half-thought through.

    To offer what may be an interesting little thing (but perhaps not), and in the vein of people writing about the indexing of their sites - I set up two GS sites on October 29. One of them got indexed within 48 hours and the other one didn't receive Google's blessing until about two hours ago - seven days later.

    Could the fact that it's a .org have made that kind of difference? I wouldn't have thought so but who knows?

      The type of extension makes no difference at all.

      .com, .net, .org, .mobi (which hardly anyone is doing, I have 15 mobi sites that kicks ass in adsense and product sales ), or what ever. Just point one link to your site via mixx.com or digg.com and it'll be indexed really fast.

    Hi everybody! I joined the forums just so I could search about google sniper! lol Since I know a little about affiliate marketing, I was annoyed by all the google sniper sites when I searched "google sniper scam" in google. I like to read forum reports...I knew the google sniper sites for affiliate sites, and therefore not unbiased...BUT they were compelling enough that I was still tempted to buy...but decided to check out the forum instead. I'm not saying a sniper site is bad, I have no problem with recommending a site if you are an affiliate...my problem is, since I know about affiliate marketing, I know not everybody is honest when they are an affiliate.

    Phew, ok, enough rambling (probably not lol)

    At first, I thought google sniper was pretty simple when I read it and watched the videos the first time, before I tried to implement it. Then I was worried-won't everybody start doing this, and therefore make it obsolete in a few months?

    But when I tried to implement it, it was another story! It was a lot more difficult for a newbie (for a more experienced marketer, I'm not sure you will find anything new here?) It was great for me because I knew a little here and there about everything it went over, but I didn't know the STEPS to do stuff in, and it really breaks down things for you about things I never would have thought of on my own. It took me about 4 days of going over it again and again non-stop to really get everything (I'm a little slow lol) but I just created my first sniper site last night and I'm not even joking-it was indexed in NINE hours. So I just had to share!!!

    My only concern with the program is like what others said about a character. Like an idiot, I followed the program to the letter...and I made up a story on a health product (since thats what I'm interested in, and it was the only ones I could find that fit the keyword suggestions) Now I'm not so worried about using a pen name and fake picture since the health products I picked were kind of uh, embarassing...and I could suffer from either one (I don't lol) and I intend to buy the product before I write my affiliate link review post...BUT the women I picked had kids...and I do not!!! So, kind of hard to get around that! I think i'm going to add a disclaimer that you should talk to a doctor first, and this is not meant to cure, etc. and hopefully that would cover me???

    I can't believe I did this, since the whole point of me joining this was to do something more white hat-I want to get away from Blackh/a/t and disception. Don't judge me, it's the only online stuff I found in the past that worked, and I have a bachelors degree, tons of experiences, awards, and I was even at a high level job before but cannot find work anywhere...gotta do what you gotta do,right? I have lots of bills!!! Sooo, I was so excited about the sniper program that I didn't really think about that-plus, I'll be honest, I really didn't think it would work lol Soo, now I have these two really great sites that are a total lie! I'm definitely going to have to change that around now I think??


    Oh, I had a question (sorry, I know this isn't the place...but if you read this long, why not?) I have a personal site that is just for fun, not profit, that has a google rank of 3....if I link to my sniper sites, is that a bad backlink? I ask because I host them on the same server. Is that a bad thing, or does it not matter??Thanks guys!!


    ANYWAYS IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE ON HERE-MY GOOGLE SNIPRE SITE INDEXED IN 9 HOURS!!!

    Folks, George's Google Sniper product does not use WP Mage - at all, you can buy it and use it without WP Mage.

    WP Mage is a product George has recently cottoned on to that he's basically saying makes Google Sniper easier to implement on a larger volume as the time taken to put a site up is reduced and the quantity of content you can add is simply ridiculous as you're not having to write it yourself.

    The downside is it's not unique content as I understand it, basically it pulls from sites like ezinearticles for content.

    It then has a little tool to translate the content from English to any other language then back again to make it unique, a twist on spinning I guess, not sure what the content actually looks like by then, but it's interesting.

    I've never used WP Mage so can't comment in depth personally.

        I'm looking at it but I'm wary right now, content spun from one language to the next and back doesn't sound that great, but I need to see it in practise, I'm also not sure how you implement your own adsense or run ads via an ad platform with it, it hooks in various advertising types, needs some investigation for sure.

      Good comments Simon, and yes Google Sniper is independent to WPMage and is well worth the money at $77 to run with.

      As far as Mage not producing unique content (or even 60% to 70% original), I haven't yet tried Mage (but seriously intend to) but I'd be surprised if the content is "less than 1%" original as stated by Loz. I personally have no objection to Youtube and Ezines content being duplicated because such links are expected to be original and in the case of Youtube, Google does not penalize blog owners for embedding and linking,.. in fact they encourage and reward it.
      I think that the concept of the "translation shift" process is quite neat provided that it doesn't by default spew out broken English and grammatically inferior versions to the original (that's not my understanding and perception of Mage). In any case, I would contend that if the originality of the posts is any kind of an issue that it could be remedied by the improvement of the "spinning" engines within the Mage software. I'd leave that for Greg Jacobs to comment on but I'm sure as a diligent marketer and intellligent developer he would already be giving such issues his expert consideration.
      Personally, I love Google Sniper and still can't over how a young 18 year old guy was the brains behind it all (I thought it must have been some old geyser posing as an 18y/o freshman,.. but now I of course know that George really is the real deal and that he's "the man").
      At first I was sceptical of Mage but after viewing the video and reading some of the attendant material I just can't wait to get my hands on it. As far as the $797 price tag is concerned,.. yeah at first I thought it was a bit of a slug but then I thought about how much time effort and money it would take to replicate that (and I say that as a very adept Wordpress designer and theme builder/enthusiast). Its been clearly stated that Mage is a "mass attack" system in which a multitude of blog setups is the intention. I figure any decent Mage-er would have to set up 100 plus blogs eventually (why not, when the hardest part is simple keyword and domain research), Therefore $797 divided by 100 equals $7.97 per site (plus domain and hosting = $20 appx) which I think is a fair deal when the average site will produce more than the annual cost every month or at least every quarter (average worse case scenario).
      I will say in closing that I feel that George's original blueprint to keep sniper sites simple and uncluttered without the use of multiple log tailed keywords and fewer posts still is a very solid model that shouldn't be ignored or replaced entirely by the Mage concept. As with anything, diligence an applied logic applies to this, and I suspect that any "Mage" site that started turning over in excess of $500 per month would be worthy of some hands on attention anyway.
      Ok... that's my view.
      Cheers,
      Russ

    I recommend you check out the WP Mage Review Thread in the Internet Marketing Product Reviews & Ratings section of the forum before you go ahead and purchase WP Mage. It's always wise to get other Warrior's opinions and wait till someone actually makes some money prior to investing $797 yourself...

      I don't know a lot about WPRobot, but I do think the plugins do similar things to the Mage plugins. But with Robot, you have to install it fresh and configure it for each site you build, right? With mage, you "fill in the blanks" once with your affiliate ID's, etc, and then with a few clicks, it will install the full WordPress site with plugins already configured. That aspect alone is a timesaver.

        Yeh but not sure if just saving time on plugins is worth $797. I can understand why it's priced at that, but I think that a lot of people purchased Gsniper was because they were not making money online, so some people i think will be looking for alternatives. From the video's I think that its pretty much install the plugin, put in your keyword, choose what info you want and then you're done, pretty much like the mage. I may be mistaken on that that so don't quote me

        But I think it's definitely an alternative if you're looking for something more affordable, which I suspect a lot more snipers are.

          I can't promise anything, but a business model i presented to Greg is one that will not only benefit him, but everyone else.

          Now Greg is a very hands on, one on one customer support guy - hence the price tag and free installation, etc. (as he tells me via a 1hr voice chat on skype)... his concern was, having too many people for mage and was worried that the support IF hired was not up to par with his standards. I said there's a way around that.

          Any ways, give him some time to mull over my ideas, you might see something develop in about 6-10 months that will favor all ppls price concerns then.

      I've just had a LONG OLE Chat with Greg, and gave him about 8 different, and MORE ideas that he's not even added into mage, and some other business model ideas to warrant the price tag, he's gonna see how much time he can get together to work on my ideas, i've shown him two sites already to show the prob with dup content, hopefully he'll do an update that has a built in rewriter. plus other very powerful onpage seo elements that he hasn't considered. basically, kinda the stuff that i have in my seo website builder pro, of course, didn't tell hiim all that my stuff has, but enough to warrant the price tag, and another idea to do what the stompernet group are doing, ie, get all snipermage peeps to submit their sites to create a huge a** content linking network (1 way links)

    I'm basically a "newbie" who knew just enough to be dangerous to myself as a result of being suckered into buying a whole bunch of e-books and courses that really didn't do what they said they would, or, at the very least, left out some fairly key nuggets of information.

    I bought Google Sniper and the full "upsell" package when it was launched a few days ago. I have now read the Google Sniper e-book twice and watched all the training videos at least once and, overall, I am delighted with the product.

    For me, the best feature is the fact that the information is comprehensive and step-by-step. As far as I can see, nothing is left out, and pretty much every necessary click is illustrated and described.

    For the last two days, I have been at a workshop training people to market a specific product online, given by genuine experts who are making SERIOUS money, and have been for years.

    I found that as a direct result of George's Google Sniper course, I already knew about 90% of what the participants were taught, and the other 10% was specific to the product in question, rather than an omission on George's part.

    I would have no hesitation in strongly recommending this course to anybody who is thinking of buying it.

    I do have two complaints. Although I had no real problems downloading and playing the videos, I did need to add some software to play them on my Mac. Also, having done so, some of the image quality was pretty poor and pixellated (compression issue?), so that I couldn't actually see what was being demonstrated and had to make do with the soundtrack and an educated guess.

    My only other gripe is that the "22K Secret" final upsell is pretty basic information but for one tiny insight. I wouldn't recommend this element.

    I am sure there's going to be loads of software similar to WPMage soon enough. Nothings lasts too long without direct competition. It will no doubt saturate the market but that's business for you.

        This just means you're submitting the root domain, which is what you should do. You can also bookmark each post and page as well. Sometimes indexing just takes awhile. I've been indexed in as short as 30 minutes and as long as 7 days. Google is random and it's impossible to really say how quick you can get indexed.

        What I've noticed that works well for indexing is Clipmarks.com and then bookmarking those clipmarks. That seems to really speed things up.

        Also in the manual, george talks about using forums. This will get you indexed super quick along with Yahoo Answers.

          What I've noticed that works well for indexing is Clipmarks.com and then bookmarking those clipmarks. That seems to really speed things up.

          Also in the manual, george talks about using forums. This will get you indexed super quick along with Yahoo Answers.

      My sites took about 4 days to index, but I didn't submit to mixx.com and digg.com as Loz suggests, but will try that on next sites I build.

    I currently have two mediocre sniper sites feeding from CB products. I talked with my mother for a couple of hours tonight and I'm taking a different tack with my next three.

    They are marketing specific physical products as apposed to the electronic ones from before.

    Two meet the criteria put forward for keywords by the gSniper system, where-as the previous two do not. The third has little competition, however.

    I'll update the progress of these sites as I go.

    Thanks Loz. I guess I am very bad skimmer. Hard habit to break.

    Just a very quick question on how well GSniper is doing for everyone. Has anyone managed to clock some decent figures within say the first 4 weeks of implementing the system? I see alot of success stories about getting websites indexed and ranked on the first page which is all and well and good but how many have succeeded to get good conversions around the region of what George has managed for his own sites?

    I am new to the IM and have been reading a lot about Google Sniper. I also have tried to contact George several times with no response.

    So this question goes out to those that have bought the system. I would just like to know what the $67 and $97 OTOs include. I'm not asking for specifics on the program, I just like to know before I buy the program if the OTOs are truly worth the price. I may have to wait another month or so to buy.

    You can contact my privately if you'd prefer.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The $77 package is the only complete Sniper system that I know of. It includes a 30 day free membership to the Snipers club, which you can cancel at any time. It's a complete system and it tells you everything that you need to target niches and make it the first page of Google.
    But one of my concerns is how well do these pages convert? It's done well for George but I would like to hear some other stories about who it's profited in the process.

    Hi Guys..

    I brought GS last week and have been burying myself in the content of the course, book and vid's as well as the q&a session..

    I have to say that for a new comer the information and step by step guidence within George's manual are very good..

    I have done lot of the 'ground work' but the main thing I am struggling with at the moment is a finding a good keyword..I hope it will start to snow ball soon..with the hope of getting a couple of sites up and running very shortly...some good conversions..!

    I also run a property business, so admitedly I have not given this 100% of my time, I was say about 70% of my evenings and weekends..

    If anyone has any advice on getting my frist site up and running I would welcome it..

    Well update as and when.

                  If that is what Matt says...that's cool...but, I don't believe it

                  About 2 months ago, we noticed some weird stuff happening with indexing/ranking on sites that had straight affiliate links.

                  So, we started posting content and leaving the site to get indexed without any affiliate links...coming back to do the links and cloaking them and havn't had any issues since.

                  We aren't the only ones that have experienced this either as many of the info products coming out now instruct the reader not to post the affiliate links on the first run...

                    Yeah,.. with all due respect to Loz and his considerable experience, I tend to follow the notion (or hunch if you like) that what Google says and what Google does (viz-a-viz via Matt Cutts predominantly) are 2 different things. At the end of the day there's a lot of speculation over anecdotal evidence regarding big G policies and procedures and I personally am inclined to err on the side of caution and work on getting the site up, basic content running, get indexed and then follow with the affiliate links. Maybe I'm being over cautious but then again do any of us really know why Big G sandboxes? It's not as though they've distributed a working manual to all and sundry webmasters and IM'ers or even posted their precise Terms and Conditions on their website that could be considered reliable or reasonably firm an not a transient convenience that they can change whenever it suits them. I mean, they've never actually acknowledged the existence of the dreaded Sandbox (I guess if they did they'd have to create a Terms & Conditions for it.. I'd love to see that one!). As much as the Google boys started out with the motto "Don't be evil",.. remember that that was before they became billionaires and absolutely prepossessed with Internet dominance. Good luck to them... but I say that the little guy needs to look after himself and follow his own gut instincts because big G couldn't care less if your entire IM empire gets deindexed in one unilateral swoop. They wouldn't lose a moments sleep or lose a dime!
                    Just my thoughts!

      Apologies to Warrior forum for trying to sell my services here..

      Now,

      GS is a good product, believe me. I have created 25 sites and all are on page 1 of google. I have had 15 sales till date, a total of 320 Dollars..I know its small, but I am scaling up to 100 sites in the next 2 months.

      One of my site is 1st on 1st page out of 36 million, anyways... if you follow george advice to the tee, your site will be on page 1. One of my page was on page 1 in 35 minutes.

      One of the fellow warrior member said that the problem is not with creating sniper sites, but getting it ranked.. Dont you think the latter largely depends on the creating the site right in the first place.. however, if you need help with GS, let me know..

      PM me and we can take it forward..

    Hi Ameliam,

    Thanks for sharing your sniper stats. Overall, very encouraging. I'd be curious to find out if all your page one sniper sites represent exact match domain names or partial match.

    Also, excuse the naive question, but what type of CPA promotion did your site get sandboxed for?
    I associated CPA with getting a commission for selling a product.

    Many Thanks

    George

    I bought George Brown's sniper program and unfortunately it wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but I guess thats what happens when you purchase things way late at night and you are only paying partial attention.

    I'm hoping I can get a refund.... I haven't downloaded a single item from the course - just streamed a few videos......but I don't think George does refunds.....which is okay because its my own fault for purchasing something that teaches you how to do something I don't use/am not interested in (CPA/CLICKBANK)

      You can get a refund if you go straight to clickbank. They give you 60 days, and they're the ones that handle payment/refunds.

    This is a fantastic post. Its taken the best part of a morning to get through. It was actually georges google sniper which led me to this forum in the first place. Not that i bought the product but more that i recieved an email advertising it.

    My main areas of expertise is in developing ecommerce solutions or shopping carts selling products. I am new to IM, although have dabbled, so I feel this product does suit me. Like most I find my self spending alot of time procrastinating so I am going to take mrmuts advise and "just do something".

    When I first heard of the Google Sniper system I did have my doubts. I did what most marketers do and did some good ol research on George Brown. After spending a few hours on the warrior forum and a tons more going through the course materials I can give a thumbs up to Google Sniper, but ultimately the decision is yours.

    Do any of you folks having good success want to give earnings from this system? The blog I was reading (earlier in this thread), it looks like the guy was using about 3 different systems, but in about 6 months was able to get his earnings up close to $1800/mo. I'm not sure how much time/effort he put into it, and also how much his expense was (domain registrations, hosting, outsourcing, etc).

    There are lots of ways to make money in IM that are just time consuming and in the end you're earning just a few bucks an hour for your efforts. It seems like this system may be one where you put in a lot of effort up front, and it pays for itself over the course of a year or so.

    Nice one Micheal. I tried George's suggestion of the "pickup lines" and aint made squat, and the traffic is really pouring in.

    oh hum, next site, or, spend more time monetizing it other than clickbank, adsense perhaps. Shame, cos I was half way through doing a case study for him. guess its gonna take longer than I thought. Mind you, i'm only spending about 30 minutes a week to get article and rewrite it slightly.

          Having 100% click thru rate doesn't mean anything. I just checked and the commercial intent for the keywords are horrible. And there isn't any adwords ads for any of the keywords.

          Which means, they're not buying keywords.

          I mean honestly, who's going to buy something when doing a search for cute lines of friends or clever hilarious pick up lines for girls.

          It's cool that you're ranking for those keywords. But they're not buying keywords.

          That's an interesting point you raise Loz. Whereas George suggests quite strongly that his sites tend to do better when they're totally plain vanilla designs (such as Kubrik theme), I tend to agree with you that the better you can make the site look on arrival (without cluttering it up) then the better response you'll get.

          I've just started putting a site together in a niche that's highly reliant on images to get the message across. So I've spent a bit of time selecting my images and making it appealing and interesting so the it will exude credibility. It won't win any design award but it will be visually appealing. Imagine a niche for "57 Chevvy" (just an example),... well if your site was called www.57chevvy.com and you knew it got 9,000 searches a month then you'd be inclined to make the page look a little more appealing than one that say predominanlty featured text and sported the big blue Kubrick header or similar.

              Oh OK,.. I see. Yes it's a very valid point. Ultimately if the sales page that's intended to convert just doesn't compel people to act then it's more than just a waste of time, it's a waste of profit opportunity.

              Having said that, I still feel that the initial site (i.e. landing page/Sniper site) that the viewer lands on plays a significant role in the response of the viewer.
              Granted, it appears that George is relying heavily on the anti-sell/ugly site approach in order to have respondents reduce their guard and feel less intimidated by the typical razzle-dazzle of an IM hard-sell. However, sooner or later they'll end up on a more salesy salespage anyway (unless it's one of Paul Myers',.. who's a master of the plain vanilla sales page),.. but I accept the fact that different marketers will have their own methods by which they'll swear,- and it certainly appears to have worked well for young George.

          Loz I've looked through your keywords and taken a look at your site and your keywords
          are NOT buying keywords. Believe me 'cute lines of friends' and the other keywords
          you seem to be targeting are NOT buying keywords and I'd be very surprised if that site
          ever makes you any affiliate commissions.

          Tony x was 100% correct in his statement. If you follow his advice you might actually

            My friend:
            im very instresting in GS, but can u give me some advice about the viewpoint as follow? thanks:

            George says to look for keywords with around 3,000 visitors a month.
            Since the Google keyword tool is for Adwords and not for SEO, and these numbers are not only from Google Search, one can only expect 300 visitors when it says 3,000. There are some exceptions but in general I think one cannot expect more than 10%."

            Yes they are!

            I never targeted "cute lines of friends", I know this is not a buy phrase. That's a research phrase. I've been doing PPC long enough to know what research, and buy phrases are.

            It just happened that that particular phrase is in my article.

            I'm getting more targeted phrase hits to my pages that are buy phrases.

            Please, without sounding rude, don't make judgments on what you don't fully know that I'm doing like you just did, making assumptions without the full facts you'll be wrong 100% of the time.

            But thanks all the same.

              I've been doing this a long time too and I can see exactly what you're
              doing. :rolleyes:

              No offence but if you don't want your site and keyword choice to be
              under scrutiny then don't post them.

              Now I know you think you know everything and aren't going to take
              any notice of this post so this is for the other people reading this thread
              because I don't want them to waste their time and make the
              same mistakes you did. (again no offence)

              From what I gather Loz has chosen to target these keywords and
              maybe a few more.

              hilarious cute pick up lines
              clever hilarious pickup lines for girls to use
              sweet christmas pick-up lines
              some sweet lines for friends
              show some cute lines
              clever hilarious pickup lines for girls
              bee honey pickuplione
              sweet cute pick line
              romantic pickup lines
              hilarious pick up lines
              cute pick up lines
              funny pick up lines for guys

              Now do you think people searching for these keywords are really looking
              to buy something? These are just people looking for some free tips.
              The whole pick up lines niche is based on people searching for free
              information.

              Maybe if they were searching a keyword like 'the best pick up lines
              ebook' or 'buy pickup lines' they'd be looking to buy something. But
              they're not.

              People if you really want to make money with this system then you're
              going to need to target keywords that are later on in the buying
              cycle.

              It's all well and good getting a ton of traffic but if your visitors are
              all freebie seekers then you're never going to make any money. Target
              the keywords where people are intending to buy something and then
              you'll see some success.

              Will

              PS: You're welcome Loz.

    Will, they're not the only KW's I'm targeting. There's two sites like that the one you're looking at is just a test site, it'll have adsense on it soon.

    The other site uses phrases in the dating niche, but in the sub-niche of pickup lines that do target those wanting a date, how to pick up girls, etc,

    Trust me, I know what I'm doing, I got 1600+ sites out there that kill it big time.

    p.s
    again, proved that you don't know what I am doing.

    If someone asks for help, give advice, if they don't, don't give it.

      Lol. Oh so there's 2 sites now is there? :rolleyes:

      Loz I'm only going on what you posted here. I can't talk about

      The advice I gave in the other post was as I said for the other

      someone should point out your mistakes before a ton of newbies
      (I hate that word) go out and copy you and waste their time

    Hey you guys,

    Just a quick post to report some success with a sniper site I set up about 11 days ago.

    I registered a .com domain comprising the exact keyword phrase I was targeting. Used a standard WP theme and simply replaced the "hello world" with an original article by me that also contained the main keyword and associated keywords and then added 4 tags.
    The only plugins I set up at present were Google XML sitemaps and WP-spamfree (best anti-spam out there by a mile).

    Also,.. I've done zero backlinking with this site!

    OK,... so I've been busy with other stuff and only checked on the site today,.. for which I've not set up any affiliate links on at all yet.

    The result
    • For the primary search keyword phrase: Google Page 1 position 3 (19,000 pages)
    • For the secondary keyword phrase: Google Page 1, position 6 (15,100 pages)
    Now to get stuck into putting up a bit more content and fine tune the tagging and excerpts,.. plus add SEO plugins and the Digg Stumble (yeah... not even done those and already on page 1).

    Needless to say,- I'm rapt!

    Thanks George,... next time you're in Thailand I'll by you a beer (or two).

    Cheers ,
    Russ

    I started 5 websites 2 weeks ago using only duplicate content from ezinearticles. Why did I do this? Because many people here say duplicate content doesn't matter and I wanted to test this myself to see. I followed everything George said and none of my sites are even in the top 50. To me, this proves that using duplicate content will instantly get your sites placed in the sandbox for however long (I have no idea how long). So, stick to writing unique content! Don't be lazy.

    Time to get back to my unique content sites that are ranking well.

    Edit: lol I found one of my sites on page 18 for the phrase term. This site is completely optimized for the term as well and only 31,000 competing pages. If I used unique content, it would be 1st page guaranteed.

      Here is a PM I sent George:

      George

      I loved the easy to follow way your course was outlined, but I have a few questions.

      First I built s a site exactly as described with all of the requirements i.e competition, lsi, domain name everything step by step. I was instantly at number 5 on Google. Now this would happen with such low competition anyway. I have done this with similar sites in the past. My site has now been spidered with the final post and is still at pos.5. I guess my question is what will make it go to number 1 or closer to it now that the site is "complete" like the manual suggests? Where is the magic that happens by setting up a site structure the way you outlined? Like your Wedding Speech site?

      Second where is the continued content?

      Cheers
      Andrew

        Hi everybody,
        I wanted to share my experience with google sniper.
        I am a total beginner in affiliate marketing, I've never heard of wordpress before, and I never owned an internet domain.
        Google Sniper is a very easy to implement and understand course.
        I,ve created 4 sniper sites so far, it took me about one day for each... bear in mind, this game is not for free.
        Domain registration and hosting costs are approx 120$ for every site, cause most hosting companies charge a year in advance..

        So far all my sites are indexed by Google with different results.
        For the main targeted keywords the result is:
        1. page, rank 9.
        1.page, rank 3
        2.page, rank 9
        1. page rank 2

        So, the system is working, but I haven't made a single sale yet, and there is very low traffic to my sites about 10-20 visits a day..

        Where's the problem?
        Is it the product choice ?

          **** UPDATE *****

          This is a update from post #132.... and #266

          Ok, so i am starting to understand other parts of the puzzle.

          Site # 1 ( the first sniper site i put up )

          Google page #1 position #1 ( FINALLY on the top BABY!)

          I follow step by step of the sniper system BUT I NEED TO ADD SOME BACK LINKS ( I SUBMITTED A SPUN ARTICLE TO 100 SITE ).

          I Also submitted a 3 article to ezine article.

          The funny thing is that my ezine article is on page 1 position 6.

          FINAL RESULTS ...

          i control 2 spots on page 1 and the traffic in on a rise. No sale but i think it is a problem of how i have the site setup and where the links are at.

          worse case i change it to a adsense site and make a few dollars to pay for my on going learning....

          If any one has a question, send me a PM or reply and i will do my best to answer your questions for FREE!!!

            Good going Mrmut,

            I think that from reading of your results and some others who are also reporting Page 1 positions, the thing that is going to make the difference in conversion to sales is a bit of a fine art in itself, such as,- where to put your links, how to display (image, text, adblock? banner?) and how many to use. And from there the money earned will relate to the relevance and quality of the affiliate offer and the landing page to which the viewer is sent.
            I'm certianly no expert on this topic so I can't offer any decent stats,... but maybe some more experienced IMers can??

            Cheers

          Hi there,

          first of all... congratulations on the ranking results,.. a great start for a newcomer.

          But as far as your hosting costs and the way in which you appear to be setting that up,... you're making some major blunders my friend.
          Let me help you with that.

          Firstly,.. if you're paying $120 in advance for a year of hosting you're paying a bit too much and you DONT need to pay up front. Many hosts will entice you or insist that you pay in advance but it's not necessary.

          I've used quite a few but currently I use Hostgator. You can get a "Baby" plan for $6.95 per month and a "Hatchling" plan for $9.95 and the first month you can get for $0.01 (1 cent).

          You will usually be given one primary domain name which will act as the main domain name you use with the host via your Cpanel. Then you can add other "ADD-ON" domains that although are technically subdomains as far as the search engines are concerned, the public only view them as ordinary domains. I have about about 15 ADD-ON domains under my main domain and they all work great.

          So in summation,.. you register your main domain and point the DNS to the new host. Then you have maindomain.com. From there you can add domainname2.com, domainname3.com etc as add-on domains. Now in your Cpanel Add-on/subdomains folder and to the search engines your add on domains appear like this "domainname2.maindomain.com", but the public only see this "domainname2.com" in their browser and only use "domainname2.com" when they search for you.

          The end result is that you can host multiple (unlimited with Hostgator) domains all for $7 to $10 per month and pay only on a monthly basis.

          If you have paid out $120 x4 I suggest you shut at least 3 of those accounts down and get your money back.

          Hope that helps.
          Cheers

            That definately helps me. Does doing it this way affect the way the add on domains rank? And for backlinks would you backlink to "domainname2.maindomain.com" or "domainname2.com"?

              No,.. no need to backlink the extended domain name (e.g. "domainname2.maindomain.com"),.. just do the backlinking for "domainname2.com" because you may eventually host it independently later (up to you). Just let Google look after the "under-the-hood" mechanics of how they crawl and view add-on domains.

              The way I'm doing it since I discovered this is to build up content for the selected (low competing) keywords for my maindomain.com and then also doing separate backlinking for all the ADD-ON domains. My maindomain is now 2 years old and so now that I'm starting to focus on it (before I just used it as kind of skeleton) I think I can get PR3/4 ranking within the next 12 months perhaps.

    Domain: $6.99 first year at 1and1.com then $8.99 per year thereafter.
    Hosting: $3.99 per month = $47.88 per year.
    Total: $54.87 first year... $56.87 every year thereafter.

    gee, you can make that back in the first month via adsense.

    I have created my first sniper site and I am now starting to get some traffic. I love the course. I think it has good information, especially for a newbie. I recommend it. I do believe that it takes more content than promoted in the course but it may be because of my inability to pick the right keywords. If you are looking for some good ideas invest in the course. Note: I opted out of the monthly recurring payment for membership because I did not see the value right now.

      Thank you russ rave,
      my hosting company is Dreamhost and taht's what they charge for doman registration and 1-year hosting.

      For now I will just wait a little while to see what happens with the sites, traffic is poor, and I have no sales at all.
      These are different products, health, forex and make money online niche, all ranked well, but no sales so far..
      On one keyword a blog from blogspot.com is outranking me, so I will try to put a free blog in the tattoo niche, wait till it gets indexed to see how something FREE , other then wordpress is ranking...

        Hi lonicera,

        Dreamhost allows you to do the same thing RussRave mentioned. Host unlimited domains with one account. There is no reason today to pay for separate accounts. When money becomes less of a problem then you can get 30 accounts if you want. There are good reasons to have several accounts, just not when you're worried about money.

        Web Hosting by DreamHost Web Hosting: Web Sites, Domain Registration, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, all on Debian Linux!

        If you can drop 3 accounts, you would save a bunch of money that you could use in other places.

        Steve

      Can you tell us a little bit about your experience. Not knowing the course and not asking you to give it a away, here are some questions that come to my mind:

      1) How long did it take you start to finish to setup your first site from a personal time commitment perspective. I see there is a guy here advertising he can create them for you, but the choice to outsource sometimes depends on how hard it really is. In other words, if it takes you 20-40hrs, then the $150 this guy charges is well spent.

      2) What kind of revenue are you seeing off your site? Expenses wise, what kind of expenses are you incurring (hosting, outsourcing, ppc, etc).

      Thanks, and glad to hear you like the course! I'm sure George does too.

    I know there have been a few on here asking for a refund or trying to get out of the monthly membership site any luck yet? I've sent a request and haven't heard a thing after a few days when the site says "response in 12-24 hours".

    I hope this doesn't become a problem.

      Ha ha ha,.... I'm sure George is enjoying his world tour escapades far to much to be concerned about a few minor refund upsets on his birthday.

      To all those that may think that George is ignoring them,.. I think he's just having a blast of a holiday and will surely get onto such items as soon as he can escape from the resort swimming pool and/all the band of gorgeous and willing little honeys that I'm sure he's having to beat off with a big stick!

    Overall I liked the product and the way that it is structured. I really want to figure out a productive way to outsource all the work it takes to get a sniper site up and runing. I may just be too lazy. But to me that's who you want to look for the lazt guy who figured out the easy way but not by cutting corners.

    Anyhoo...I feel like George is honest and will be putting out useful products for years to come.

    I joined the club before it was a forced contiuity program. I think that's a testament to my respect for both the program and George. I like the Google Sniper system and I think it can be a real money-maker - I also have the feeling that George is an upright fellow.

    But...I have to say that I'm disappointed in the lack of updating on the membership site.

    I don't believe I'm getting my money's worth at this time. Perhaps that will change before my next payment is due.

    I'm an affiliate marketing junkie so I read George's product. I actually really liked it. I thought the system was easy to implement (which is important) and had just enough advanced stuff to help new marketers with their conversions.

    I can't comment on the membership area as I haven't even looked at it...but the system itself is solid (in my opinion). It's a great bare bones system that can make you some money and then be built upon later.

    Not a bad program but most of the info is available free elsewhere - the 30 day challenge gives a ton more info and it's free. Also, make sure you really want it as he doesnt honour his money back guarantee and you'll get no response from his support desk. Plus watch the fine print - after he gets your initial $ he'll start hitting you for $37 a month. Even after you've tried to cancel. My vote - pass and watch out for George he's making enemies fast and is likely to crash and burn.

      I don't think your refund comment is on point because you whenever you want to cancel or get your money back for your initial purchase. You access your clickbank receipt and your money is refunded to your account by clickbank and not by George. The monthly subscription can be cancelled by using your most recent clickbank receipt - there is a link in the receipt that allows you to cancel your subscription at anytime.

      I don't have a problem with people making comments like this one but they should try to make accurate comments especially when it comes to clickbank

        Thanks Donald. I actually bought it through PayPal so I managed to cancel the subscription and then emailed clickbank for refunds of both the program and subscription fee. I guess my biggest beef is that I had to learn this here on the forum while George's support desk remain silent and non-responsive. Not a very good sign. Thanks again!

        I don't believe PanamaMarks comment was about clickbank rather than a Customer Service issue by George Brown/Google Sniper. PanamaMark is right about not getting a reply. If George is going to stay in business he will have to work on that or he will crash and burn.

          I had bought a product a long time ago on clickbank (amazon hunter) which I didn't like and returned. After 5 days of emailing, I never could get a response from the refunds department of amazon hunter, so I eventually tracked down that clickbank did the charge and got them to issue a refund, which was very fast (hours!).

          My advice, if you ever buy anything on clickbank and need a refund, contact clickbank

            I build a ton of backlinks just because I don't want to lose my position (and one of my sources of income) to another internet marketer. It's a lot easier once you have money to funnel into outsourcers or automation software.
            Hi Chris,

            Thanks for sharing your sniper wisdom. I was just curious about your rate of link building with the sniper sites. In my experience with other sites, link building can be a double edge sword. It seems if the linking rate and anchor text don't appear natural to Google, your site's ranking can be dropped. So, what rate of backlinking have you used to avoid this pitfall.

            I agree that merely achieving page one isn't adequate. You really need one of the top 3 positions.

            Thanks

            George

    Okay guys here's the current situation that I really think about GB's Google Sniper. I was one of the first people who bough Google Sniper. It was wonderful product at the beginning. Why? Because that idea was not over exatured. It had potential.

    When that product has been sold now it is more difficult to find keywords that does not has GS sites on it. For example I have found over 30 low competition keywords with high search volume but you need to work lots about them in order to get your website in #1 Google page.

    The thing is also that this is benefiting most George Brown. Why? Here's the reason. First he test this unique idea and get all benefit from it and this is justice because that guy found that idea and started to benefit from it. Then he establish good blog empire and making him over $15 000/month. This will reduce success probablity for many users that are creating same kind of blogs. How much it will reduce, that's different thing.

    Still there's possibility to success but it is more difficult than before.

    Valuing transparency, I feel the claim of the number of searches these keywords get is nowhere near the 10,000 claimed and much more like 2,000 once you run an 'exact' search.

    But I guess not many people care having seen your gravity in clickbank! Impressive.

    Is this George's site Groom Wedding Speech
    if so he didn't create this himself.


    It's supposed to be 3,000 searches per month and no more than 10,000
    competing websites, which I find not any easy task.

      This system plays towards the lazy marketer... Yep... I said it... THE LAZY MARKETER. The truth is that it will be difficult to get to the top of any pages, specifically google, as a LAZY MARKETER.
      What Do I mean By That? You Need Simple Back LINKS... And that's where this system can be better. DON"T GET ME WRONG... George Browns Google Sniper Works great and will make you money!!!! BUT NO BACK LINKS? HMMM.... LAZY....
      Heh. This is the same theory I operate my business on. Google Sniper is great and all, and it lives up to its promise of being fast, easy, and low maintenance, but if you take what you learn from it and expand on its weaker areas, you'll get more out of it than the average user.

      If you want to rise to the top 1% of people who are using any given system, all you have to do is add more power to it. Whether that's more content, better linkbuilding, creating a mailing list, etc.

      If the system markets itself by saying "YOU CAN MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO QUIT YOUR JOB WITHOUT DOING TYPICAL INTERNET MARKETING TASKS X, Y, AND Z!" and you follow the system to the letter, and add in the things that you "don't have to do" you'll find that you end up surpassing the majority of your competitors by a long shot.

        You will have to maintain the rate else your site rankings will drop...Just my personal experience from these sniper sites and how google treat them...
        This isn't particularly difficult to do once you have 1 or 2 sites actually making money. With a solution like Unique Article Wizard, Article Marketing Automation, or Backlink Solutions, 1 article written and spun can generate you a couple of links per day for a month or so without issue.

        As far as mass production goes, it's a case of diminishing returns. Keyword research and site production are time consuming, but building backlinks using automated solutions or via outsourcing is not. Why put out a site a day that makes a sale a week sitting at 6th place when I can put out 1 site a week that can net me a sale every day or so once it hits 1st or 2nd place?

        It's simple. I look at the "bare minimum" sniper sites as beacons. I love it when I see a site like that in the top 10 because I know that I can take that spot from them at will. At the very least, you should be building backlinks to your proven earners, otherwise your income is going to stay stable at best due to other people overtaking your niches while you create new sites.

          If you're confident that you've followed to the letter "T" then its probably best just to leave them alone a while and be patient. With the first 2 sites I set up, I put a lot of energy into the first one and put up about 12 posts plus Youtube and I had my keyword in the URL but was getting NOTHING,.. couldn't even find my articles on Google so I assumed I'd been sandboxed and just left it. Then all of a sudden a couple weeks later I'm getting visitors to the site and new comments too. It's a really tough niche and to be honest I didnt research the niche enough but at least the site shows potential.
          The 2nd site I hardly did any work. Researched the keyword (only 19,000 competing pages and about 4,000 searches per month). I bought a new .com name with my keyword in it and then I put up one post (no links), and bookmarked with Delicious. 11 days later my site is Google page 1 (position 3) for main keyword (19,000 competing pages) and Page 1 position 6 for 2nd keyword (15,100 pages).

          For me,.. that's all the proof I need. But it is hard being patient initially. Just keep moving with it,.. you will create some winners.

    i have a quick question. when you mean that you are targeting 2 keyword what are you doing exactly.. for axample if you have keyword #1. you get the domain name and all articles with keyword one in it. is that correct? if itis where do you stick in keyword two... another domain name ????

    just abit confuse on that...

      Surething,..happy to elucidate on that for you.
      For the domain and keyword phrase (contains 2 keywords) that is my main target I scored page 1 position 3. Then I took another secondary keyword phrase (containing 4 keywords) and inserted it into the text of the post/article that appears as the homepage anchor (in fact, it's the only article on the entire site) I then took keyword phrase #1 and KW phrase#2 and created tags for them that tie into the one article,.. and to my pleasant surprise I have been able to get Page 1 for both keyword phrases.

      Later I will create a seperate post (actually several) centered entirely around KW phrase #2 just to try to get it up into the top 3 positions of page 1 as I believe that anything lower than say position4 is a virtual waste of time with Keywords that have low search volume.

      All in all, I intend to target at least 4 (maybe 6) keyword phrases that I know get a good volume of searches and then create pages and posts around those phrases and making sure to add relevant tags using the exact same keyword phrases. In a low competition area I think this is a sure fire way to get Google Page 1 top3 for all keyword phrases and that way you can be sure of getting some click through action.

      Hope that clarifies it for you.

      Cheers,
      Russ
      PS... another definite winner is to include images in your posts and to name them like this "mydomain.com-keywordphrase#1.jpg" etc,.. that will add to the juice.

    It's a good system, and I learnt alot from George especially the LSI keywords and stuff. But I have had some really bad issues with this system.

    The main problem I am having is that almost every single one of my sniper sites is getting sandboxed. I have followed georges examples exactly but for some reason google keeps sandboxing them.

    Also, I haven't got to #1 yet for any of my sites. I have been on page 1 several times but then float off up to page 8 or completely off the search engine. Unfortunately these issues have happened to 9 out of 10 of my sites that I have made. It might just be, being bad at this. But I don't know.

    Also what I found really frustrating was that when you find a product to promote with your sniper site, their is already about 30 other sniper sites ahead of you, not forgetting the authority sites hogging the top spots.

    Now George says go for average searches (around 50 a day) and under 7,000 competing websites. But I have found that trying to find this is almost impossible. Once again this might just be me.

    I'm sure there is alot of people out there who have made some decent cash out of this system (probably because they outsourced most of it) but I have not made a single $ yet and its been 2 weeks, and 10 websites made full of content.

    It's a shame because I really enjoyed learning the course and was certain that I would make some money from this.

    I will try for another 2 weeks, and give it my all hopefully I should have around 40 sites up. But if all this effort was for nothing then this method isn't for me.

      This happens...I make a lot of these "sniper" blogs as George describes them, nothing new really. About 1/4 of the ones I setup either get sandboxed or rank poorly.

      Also, 2 weeks does not seem like a long enough time to judge the traffic you are getting...how much traffic are you actually getting? Hops?

      Just stick with it and try to create as many blogs as you can, the system does work, but every system has it's weaknesses.

      Joe
      Joe, what have you done as regards:

      Social bookmarking
      Web 2.0
      Basic backlinking..

      I know George doesn't cover these in his version of niche blogs but if you're not doing any of the above I suggest you do, it's often the difference between position 1 and position 10.

      It's quite common to end up high initally, then Google has a sit down , looks at a gazillion factors and a week later bungs you where it fancies.

      It's also not uncommon to be sandboxed or hit the secondary listings although the latter is highly unlikely with a new site.

      My advice is if you have some sites with ok positions, go out and try the following, you will have to do as much or as little of the following as it takes to achieve your required position, this by the way presumes you have made catchy and clickable TITLE tags and META descriptions, no point being no 1 , if the surfer's bored to tears by your site description, they will shoot to the more catchy no 2 listing.

      Anyway..

      Slap a short article together, 300 words will suffice. Ensure your primary keyword/phrase is in the title, wang it on ezinearticles initially. Link back to your money site using the keyword in the anchor text .

      You should read up on the best way to maximise your article submissions, but the basics here are that we want a decent ink back to your sniper site from a highly trusted source which Google values and we want it with your chosen keyphrase in the anchor text.

      Now go bookmark the ezine article, do about 5 bookmarks , don't go crazy with bookmarking overnight or indeed any back linking stratagy. Slap half your bookmarks with your primary keyphrase in the anchor text and the other half variations of your primary keyphrase this will suffice.

      (Yes correct bookmark the eza article, most people don't bother with this, but it takes a few minutes and can really help boost your article , while the primary focus is link juice, no harm in grabbing some extra traffic from it as well.)

      Now bookmark your actual money site, and bookmark all the pages on it that have relevent content, (not the about page, contact us etc. )

      Again don't make all the anchor text links identical, have a play with some variations on your primary title, if you run out of options use some LSI , just make sure that LSI is included on your money site as well.

      See what happens to your position..

      If no joy, submit the article to a half dozen other article sites and rise repeat, if you want to be a little sneaky and the sites allow it , have one link back to your original eza article and the other to your money site, linking back to your eza article will give it even more link juice and a good position in the SERPS, hell you may even get lucky and push it into a "most viewed" situation in which case you can get a ton of traffic.

      BTW WF Member Jeremy Kelsall has a very good WSO on how to maximise ezinearticle submission, go hunt it down, his stuff is always a bit raw but unlike a lot of over priced junk, it's real world stuff that actually represents the reality of what does need to be done to push ahead of the pack.

      Once you've done that, go wang up a couple of 2.0's, usual culprits, just ensure they are do-follow ones, more and more are removing do-follow, you can use Firefox plugins (do a search) to see which sites offer do-follow, now link those to your money site.

      You can also play with finding good authority sites/blogs and forums to backlink to your money site from. There's to much information required to explain exactly how to go about that but the trick is to see how your sites are doing and push only as hard as you need to to shunt the competition the hell out the way, you don't get paid for overtime in this gig, don't go balls to the wall crazy with a million backlinks when your competition isn't that strong, just do what you need to do , no more.

      I do like George's system in the sense he put together a lot of known information into one very simple cohesive package that a lot of newbies get a lot of benefit from, but I do think it falls down when suggesting all you need to do is wang a blog up with no support for it and watch the money come in.

      Unless your niche is "blue poodles who enjoy wearing thongs on thanksgiving day in a leap year" , you really are going to have to spend some time on backlinking to your site to beat the competition away and I can guarantee you're going to have to maintain at least a modicum of maintenance to keep it there.

      Once you start bringing in some revenue from the sites, grab automation s/w to deal with bookmarking, 2.0 creation, article spinning etc.

      Hope that helps.

        Thanks ever so much Simon, I really appreciate that

        Now onto the backlinking that you mentioned, I am using Angelas backlinks for all my sites. I booked marked each site with socialmarker, and pinged them at pingomatic. The next stage I was thinking about doing was writing a few articles, bookmarking them and even creating squidoo lenses for my sites.

        Now, an option for me would be to outsource the stuff I don't like, but I would prefer just doing them myself. Which is probably what I'm going to have to do now that they seem my only option to give my hard work a chance of surviving.

        One really big problem with me though is that I dont have a passion for writing, I never have. Thats one of the reasons why Georges product snatched my eye, because I thought (and I'm sure alot of other people thought) that there was no need in any of the things that I would rather stay away from.

        I purchased GoogleSniper thinking that I would learn how to build a site in less than 2 hours, get it indexed in the search engines quickly and then watch the money rolling in but it isn't as simple as that, which I should have realised before.

        I know I seem like I'm trying to say GoogleSniper is bad, but really its not I enjoyed learning it, and George has done a really good job with this product. It's just, like every other product out there... there's almost always a catch.

        Take the Clickbank Code for example - Nobody knew you were going to have to spend $500 on adwords before they bought it, did they?

        Exactly, but if he told us that before, then I'm sure not as many people would have bought it. I don't blame George or any of the marketers out there for not mentioning these things, because if I was in their shoes I'd do exactly the same thing.

        Anyhow, thanks again Simon for your extremely generous advice. I don't think I have ever had such a long advice post ( lol ).

        I'll check out the WSO later on when I get back

          I've tried several times to post an article about money making products on ezine articles, every time it gets refused for being advertisement.

          You can improve the page ranking in Google by deactivating All in one SEO and installing Platinum Seo plugin instead. It has more SEO options.
          I also make descriptions for categories and tags that include the main keyword.
          A good tool for bookmarking every post you make is Onlywire, but if you like to use it free, you will have to put a button at the end of each of your posts.
          But that's not so bad, since you're able to bookmark every post you make with one click to at least 20 bookmarking sites.
          So, if your front page has 4 posts, and you bookmark them all, you already have 80 backlinks to your site..

      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 .

    Hey all, long-time lurker, first-time poster!

    I'm on the fence about buying GS - from what I've read/heard from people who have it, it sounds like worth the cost, but the issue is this:

    I'm already running sites with Adsense that do pretty well. It wouldn't be all that hard to 'convert' them so to speak, but would that summon the wrath of the almighty G?
    I don't live in the US so I don't think the new FTC regulations apply to me per se, but that'd be a mild comfort if Google decides one day to close up my account.

    So, I would really like to keep my nose clean when it comes to Google - I've read enough horror stories about people losing their accounts so I'm not willing to do anything that's even remotely risky.

    Basically, my question without long rambling is, Is having Adsense/CB on your site an either/or deal, or is it OK to have them both running at the same time on the type of sites GSniper is about?

          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?

              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.

      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

      When you see articles, it usually is a great sign!

      I would still check and see how many backlinks the article has because some marketers throw hundreds at it and it ranks very well.

      Regarding the Wikipedia page; this is usually the case, but you will rarely see some pages outrank a weak Wiki page.

          An ezine with a few backlinks will be easily beaten by a blog that is updated once a month. However your blog will need backlinks as well.

          An ezine with tons of backlinks thrown at it, will be very hard to beat.

          Page rank means nothing, I know some other warriors would disagree, but there are a lot of warriors who would also agree as well.

          Good luck!

    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 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.

        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?

          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?
          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

          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!

          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?!

    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....

        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)

        What specifically would you say is not FTC compliant about Google Sniper?

        I'd also like to say that I've utilized some of George's techniques and have had mixed results; but mostly positive. All in all, I think he's compiled some solid information.

        I'm doing more testing and will report my review results when I have more information.

          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,

    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?

    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?

      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..

        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,

          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!

    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?

    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!
