this is a pretty good review. It is an affiliate site (not mine) but it is a pretty good review all the same

Who wants to buy my crap anyway?

It's pretty good, alright. Good enough to let me know I don't want to buy it.

I'm at a loss as to why my post was deleted - it would be much more helpful if a mod PM'd me with what I did wrong exactly.

I'm not promoting Affiliate X in this thread, I'm offering the chance for questions to be asked from someone who has been over the material extensively.

Anyway, to clarify, I wrote the SEO/Product Launch Domination section of Affiliate X and have read all of the other techniques (AdWords, which is particularly great and Twitter) in detail, as well as used them for myself.

Yes, I understand I will be slightly bias as I wrote a section of this product -- But I am not getting anything from Affiliate X sales (other than from me promoting it via PPC) -- I wish that was the case, but it's not.

So I say again, if anyone would like to ask a question, shoot.

I have a question, in this course chris recommend direct linking with adwords and yet i have been slapped for doing this in the past,so how does chris DL without getting his campaign slapped by google?

type-m

I would like to know why the cpc values provided in affiliatex keyword database are so much different than the ones that the google keyword tool gives?

Also looking forward to the answer for Ben565's question.

Also as you wrote the SEO module. I would like to know where could I find related videos for this section. Specially I mean the ones that should show how to use these backlink resources. I checked the videos section, but couldn't find related videos.

type-m

As asked I will give you my thoughts. First the product is $67/month it probably goes up to $97/month in 2 days. There are two upsells first is advanced tactics and this is 47/month and second is CBQuantum($397)- one of their previous products. I didn't take none of them. So then there are 3 systems: adwords, seo and twitter. Adwords was pretty interesting, will try it out in following days. Have my doubts, but will see. SEO is quite decent, but nothing new, recently there are lots of launches how to promote product launches and get to the first page of google for keywords like "product name" and "product name review" "product name bonus" and so on. And then the Twitter section...this was a big disappointment for me. It was like twitter user-manual, compared to the Twittermethod which just launched it absolutely can't measure up.

There are also couple of bonuses.

And then there's the software. It seems pretty useful and it would be extremely difficult to collect this information manually. There are some things I hope they add in the future. For example they provide keywords for the top100 products, but don't do that for the products in the alerts section(special section for products that are becoming more popular very fast). Another thing is that keywords provided for the top100 have cpc and some sort of index which should tell how hard or easy it is to rank in Google for that keyword, but they don't show how many searches this keyword gets. This feature exists in their in house keyword tool tough. But you have to make a separate search. So I hope they add the searches data to the initial search.

As I said previously in this thread the cpc data in their keyword tool is very different from google's keyword tool data. For example one keyword in affiliatex had cpc $0.01 but in google it was $0.78. That's pretty scary difference for me. I hope Kieran will come and explain this. Hopefully my concerns are for no reason.

Overall I'm not thrilled with the product, but I'm not going to ask a refund either at least not yet. I still believe that the software is very useful and most people can learn new things from the manuals, maybe excluding twitter section. But not sure if it's all worth 67/month.

Will put the methods in use and see if I can generate profit in 29 days if not I'm not going to pay for the next month.

Hope some other members also come here and share their experiences.

Chris mentions slapping in the AdWords guide, but it is a very specific direct-linking technique used, and due to the nature of it and the speed of which it can be done (it takes no longer than 5-10 minutes to set up a campaign) slapping is not an issue.

Kieran Gill

All estimates are provided as a guideline, and are based on system-wide averages; your actual costs and ad positions may vary, and things like account history with Google will have an affect on your CPC. We pull CPC data directly from Google, as far as I know. It is fairly accurate.

As an example, the Affiliate X keyword tool shows a CPC of "1.41" for "dog training" - if we input this in to the AdWords traffic estimator, it shows that for 1.41 we will be in positions 1-3 and receive around 470-601 clicks per day.

So, from this, we can see it is indeed accurate in guessing the bid cost for a position 1-3 range.

I didn't have anything to do with the keyword tool programming so above is the best answer I can give.



Oh, and as for the backlink part, you should have had a link to download videos with the manuals? There should be 3 videos, one on the proof showing my Clickbank account, one on setting up WordPress with everything, and one on applying the backlinks.

If this is not the case I'll get in touch with Chris and find out where you can find the videos.

Kieran Gill

For future reference, the $45 upsell includes a nice SEO optimized WordPress theme I had developed with a neat little cpanel, more do-follow backlinks and another Product Launch Domination case study with the exact copy, links and landing page I used, and then for Dec there will be a special on ranking for x-mas products with examples from myself you can follow along with.

Do try the AdWords technique and report back

As for the SEO being "nothing new" I'm sure several of the do-follow backlinks sites in there will be new to you - there is some series quality in those links, ones I have found myself and never shared, especially the one I mention "DO NOT SHARE" on and several others...

The Twitter guide is aimed at newbies though will get more advanced as the months go on, though it was really just an extra; the meat is with the AW guide and the SEO guide, and the tool.

Re the keyword, that sounds odd, see my example above that shows it was working correctly. If you let me know the keyword I will have it checked out myself.

Also as a note, the "SEO Special Sauce" rating is showing some odd numbers for certain keywords. It is in the progress of being fixed and should be fixed within 24 hours. You don't need the tool for the AdWords method or the SEO method in the guides, so you can still go ahead and start making money now.

Make sure you check the "Signals" PDF in your members area for products to target with the Product Launch Domination method and the AdWords method.

Thanks guys,

Kieran

Kieran,

On the sales page it says:

"
Well if you have, this will be like a breath of fresh air. Affiliate X set this up so you can be up and running and using the software within 60 minutes of loading it up.
That’s right you could be profiting within 1 hour of receiving it."


It sounds too simple and too good to be true. I do not want to buy this product and feel disappointed in the end. Is this really true?


Michael T

type-m

Thanks Kieran for your replies.

Just checked the "Signals" PDF. I didn't focus very much yet, but first impression is very very good. And also I have to give you the credit for these "Do not share" link resources.
But I still didn't find the videos in the PDF. By the way only link that works in the PDF is the one to the "leech". Others like the one to the yahoo explorer and thesis theme don't work.

About these keywords differences. I don't find the one I was referring to yesterday, but for example if you go to the top 100 section then today on the 3rd spot is a "get ex back" product if you look at the keywords then cpc for " get girl back" is $0.01 and $0.27 for "get girlfriend back". In Google adwords tool the cpcs for the same keywords are accordingly $0.57 and $0.77

Best regards,

Marten

Kieran Gill

An hour is a bit of a squeeze to make profit, but you can certainly have your first campaign up and running within an hour of purchasing and reading. Like I mentioned previously, you can literally launch several campaigns in 5-10 minutes each. If you launch say, 10, I'm almost certain you'll have several profitable ones and even more break-even ones which you can work on.

Kieran Gill

I'll find out about the videos for you now.

Glad you like the Signals PDF (there's a new one every month) and the backlinks (more every month if you took the upsell).

Re the keyword tool, that is odd.

Firstly, I believe the keyword tool uses exact match, so you would need to try the keywords in the google tool with brackets [].

I.e, get girl back shows $0.10 - $0.19 -- a big difference from $0.01, so in this case it's obviously a bug that I will have looked in to. For most keywords it tends to show a fairly accurate representation of positions 1-3. Unsure why it does for some and not others. May be limitations in the Google API, may be a software bug - I'll get an answer asap.

That is extremely worrying and undermine some of the key premises of AffiliateX.

I was hoping to test a £500 campaign around the product but may simply return it, there are bugs and there are show stoppers. Having worked in software for many years , this if true is the equivalent of a taxation software calcultaing tax incorrectly so the tax advisor is unable to provide strategic tax solutions for his client with any confidence.

Very worrying indeed.

If this cannot be fixed then this software is pointless.

Thumbs down if true

Kieran Gill

Graham, the key premise of Affiliate X is the Clickbank tool and the methods which accompany it, which works as intended. The keyword tool is an extra and NOT required by the main Affiliate X methods, and is being looked at as we speak.

I'm positive if you launch 10 campaigns following the methods outlined (you can do this in an hour or so) you'll turn a profit if done correctly. (With the AdWords guide).

With my SEO guide, look at the Signals PDF as I mentioned and target one of those launches Chris mentions... You'll generate a minimum of $500-1000 in a week of the product launch.

joel cannon

Kieran , as you mention here ..Glad you like the Signals PDF (there's a new one every month) and the backlinks (more every month if you took the upsell). ..can this up sell be purchase sometime later or is it just a one time offer ..and is today the last day before the price increase. Thanks

capone2009

I bought it, and it looks like it's a mix of material from 2006 ( o.0 ) and some from 2009..

The seo part is nothing new but it works and is written quite well so good for people who don't know this already.

There are different methods in this package so you can pick what you like to go for.
I think for newbies it is really good if you have some money for ppc it's even better but many of you might already know most of the methods.

The software is ok, but there is nothing you could also do manually.

I mean there is a money back guarantee so I think especially for newbies it is worth a try. If you want the quick money and have some money for adwords this could be good for you.

I will now read the twitter guide, let's see what's in it.

PS: Kerian, most of the backlinks are also in Angela's packages.. You said in the guide you want to show us how we can find these backlinks ourselves but I can't find it anywhere. Can you help me with that?

he is selling a keyword tool for $67 a month

Kieran Gill

It is a one time offer. I'm not sure which day the price is increasing on, I'm sure he mentioned the date in an email a day or so ago, but it is definitely increasing (it's not a false marketing ploy).

I have no idea what "Angela's Packages" are but I doubt it has all of the ones I gave you. The how to find them video will be uploaded for month 2.

??? is all I have to say to this, haha. Firstly, the main tool is not a keyword tool, it's a Clickbank research tool, and a good one at that (see previous comments on it from another WF member - very hard/time consuming to collect that data manually). Secondly, the methods are worth $67 alone considering there are three guides included, along with some extras and a Signals guide which has even more nuggets in it.

Finally, I would like someone to actually give one of the methods a go rather than just talk about them... The AdWords method is pretty cheap to do and the SEO method is, well, free.

type-m

Kieran, what's your advise about trademarks.If you find a good buyer keyword which has a trademark term in it.What's your approach using your seo method. So far I have just picked some generic domain name and made a post with the actual term I am trying to rank for. Do you think using the trademark in subdomain would help. For example Brian Johnson used google.nemesisreview.com in the google nemesis launch. I found a good term in Affiliatex I would like to take on, but I would appreciate your opinion on this matter before I do.

Kieran Gill

Type-M, just PM me with the specifics and I'll help - but read my domain section. The Brian Johnson example you used above is good. If the generic domain doesn't have the keywords, don't use it. Stick to my technique.

Kieran

ben565

Kieran i have been through the adwords guide twice and the direct linking technique used is an open affiliate link to the product,i have used the same open affilliate link when DL to a clickbank product and after a few weeks google slapped my ad.So i find it hard to not be an issue when chris is DL to the product just like i was.

Kieran Gill

You are missing the point of the technique Chris is teaching you.

These campaigns take *minutes* to set up and can generate thousands as he shows in the guide.

If you get slapped after a couple of weeks... You take initiative and spend an hour launching another 10 campaigns. You don't get consistent free money for absolutely no work!

Most of the products you'll be promoting will only be generating sales for a few weeks anyway.

If you're slapped, on to the next one.

If AdWords isn't for you, try my SEO method.

If doing work isn't your thing, then IM isn't the game for you... This is as easy as it gets!

Nomad Warrior

ok.. let's clarify something here
if you follow Chris' method.. you may be able to launch 10 campaigns in an hour.
These will run until you are discovered by Google and hopefully you will make money with these campaigns before you are discovered.
Google in the meantime, has already rolled out a system to deal with repeat offenders. So, it may start with Google putting the brakes on an offending campaign and then should the Adwords account holder continue to run similar campaigns in the future, there is a good chance that the account gets flagged and 'slapped'... A self proclaimed IM 'guru' told me about one of his accounts getting blocked for very similar reasons and then when he tried to open a new adwords account.. surprise, surprise... it looked like his credit card was banned from usage on another account... a bit later it was discovered that his IP had also been blocked by Google. So I did some digging and sure enough, there were other people in the same boat.

so, if you are in possession of multiple credit cards and you have a proxy set up to mask your true IP... you could benefit from Chris' tactic.

If not, CAVEAT EMPTOR

ben565

well i do not having a problem setting up mutliple campaigns but if they all eventually get slapped, then google will end up banning my account for repeat violations, google are cracking down hard on repeat violaters,so if i submit any more DL campaigns that get slapped my account will get banned.

If you ever used adwords you would know that google is not so forgiving,and yet these gurus reccomend methods that will get your account suspended or even banned.

oscarkool

This product is a joke. You're paying 67/month for a keyword tool that isn't better than googles free keyword tool.

Emma Lindsay

$67 a month it needs to be specail and I am afraid this isnt!
