Banner Ad Blueprint

DannyUK · 02-18-2010, 06:29 PM

I took a break from the ass-kicking and decided to install Keyword Dominator because I figured it was unfair to criticise something I hadn't even looked at, despite its origin.

But, you know, you get a nose for these things and, sure enough, Keyword Dominator was instantly familiar. I downloaded it from Resell Rights Skip a while back and there it was, that same stench I thought I'd never have to endure again. Really, do not waste your time, this thing is less powerful than a half decent Excel macro and, impressively, even less intuitive.

Upshot of "Keyword Annihilator?" I'm back on Paul Ponna's list... NOOOOOOO, it's like one of those zombie flicks where you can run a lot faster than them but they never tire, they never sleep and they'll get you in the end.

TimG · 02-18-2010, 09:31 PM

I'm posting this tongue-in-cheek...

For what it's worth, I always found banners to be profitable, especially when I placed one above an adsense ad and one below the same adsense ad. The visitors to my sites were so quick to try and avoid looking at the ads that they always ended up getting drawn to the adsense ads which resulted in extraordinary click-thru-rates.

Respectfully,
Tim

Hortensia · 02-18-2010, 11:57 PM

Very funny TimG ;-)

On the same note you could say that a positive side effect of these promotions is, that it gives us an opportunity to clean up the list of 'guru's' that we're subscribed to.

Thank's for letting us know.

Droopy Dawg · 02-22-2010, 07:21 AM

I watched the pre-sale video, and from what everyone is saying in this thread... the same content in the pre-sale vid is the exact same thing in the product itself.

Is that true?

ben565 · 02-22-2010, 04:45 PM

in the pre-sale video he talks about how he uses adbrite to buy his banners from, B.S. adbrite has some of the most untargeted traffic you can get,if he is making that much money it is certainly not from advertising with them

That isnt necessarily true, it depends if your using their CPM program or the CPC program. With the CPM program, you can target your own ads.

Have you guys seen How Life Works I see banner ads directing to this site from all over the internet. Especially Yahoo mail and a few other news sites. If you go there and look at the 'Recommended articles' on the top right hand side corner, you will recognize the banners I'm talking about. They cover all kinds of things and everything leads to a CPA (or some other offer). If banners didn't work, they wouldn't be doing it.

Chucky

EDIT - 5 minutes later

I found another site like that. If you read this news item on Yahoo news Bayh the latest exit as moderates leave Congress - Yahoo! News and scroll down to the bottom right you will see some banner ads. Clicking on them will take you to ARA Lifestyle which is also another site like How Life Works. I get the feeling that both these websites are owned by the same guys.

I think I just gave someone a million dollar idea!..... You're Welcome

2nd EDIT - Another 5 minutes later

I was browsing Bill Clinton News, Headlines and Latest Stories on Yahoo! News and what do I find? Banner ads from How Life Works

The 2 sites look very similar I did a Whois lookup - Whois.net - Domain Names and Whois.net - Domain Names. According to them, they're not the same, but everybody knows you can give fake names to these accounts on GoDaddy etc.

Take home message - Banner Advertising Works. I don't know if Saj's Blueprint works. But if you are open to finding some important information; you will!

Although the ads being targeted to you are banner advertisements, there's something more than just banner ads going on behind the scenes here because I'm not seeing the same ads you are.

It's the same thing going on behind the scenes when Mike Hill was promoting his CPA Tsnaumi and Sales Tsnaumi through banner ads on sites that had nothing to do with Internet marketing.

It's called Ad Retargeting.

I have been interested to find good info on Banner advertising for a long time but this totally turns me off. Was it only 3 OTO´s ?

I dont care if OTO´s is a "great marketing method", I totally hate it and will not use it myself.
I hope OTO´s only create badwill so it will disappear because it doesnt feel honest. And I will also check if all said to be included on first salespage is included (if I have the energy....pheeew).

Mike

I understand you!!!

Didn´t you bought the product to learn more about media buying??

Why even care about the OTO:s i never fall for that ****, even if they are great methods of getting more sales.

Watch the videos and take Action, how hard can it be instead of complaining about some OTO:s. I just dont get it.

No hard feelings, i just wanted that to be said.

I watched the videos and found out that they were practically empty of VALUABLE information. Thats why I dont "take action" as you wondered why I hadnt. I have now, finally found information elsewhere that I can use. Me "complaining" is to let others know and I like it when others let me know too. I think its good to communicate facts like this and I think I will cool down on buying products as I have lately. I will wait a few weeks for others experiences here.

Sure, no hard feelings.....

Jason Moffatt · 02-24-2010, 10:07 AM

Warriors, here is how you can know that the product owners are full of sh#t...

I'm quoting from the salesletter...

"I mentioned running banners profitably on the Google Content Network, but let me share with you the other sources I found and the fool-proof formulas I pieced together.

But back to my story...

I closed down campaigns that were making me $1500 a day.."

Can you say... "BULL FREAKING SH*T"?

This is like saying...

"Dude, I got the hottest girl in all of Florida, but you know what, I really like toothless ugly chics.".

or...

"I have a brand new BMW in my garage but I prefer this 85 Datsun."

or...

"I gave away my beach house because staying in these MLM travel hotels is so much better."

I don't' care who you are, but NOBODY turns off a profitable campaign that is making them $1500 a day unless they were doing unethical marketing and decided to go legit.

Lets do some simple math, and assume his banner ads did make him $90,000 some thousand a month. And lets just assume it was all profit (which we know it's probably not)....

A $1500 a day campain is $45000 a month.

Even if you were making $90,000 a month, why would you turn off HALF of your income just because you found an additional source of money?

You wouldn't.

UTTER BS!

Chucky · 02-24-2010, 06:06 PM

Ok Guys, I really don't know why some of you don't like BAB. I bought it, put it to practice and already making money.

I do admit however that I've never given a serious attempt at banners. But I have previously advertized on Adbrite, some CPV (clicksor and another network) with no success.

With some of BAB methods I'm already making money. This 1st campaign is not making a lot, but I just have to rinse and repeat it.

Ofcourse if you're an advanced IMer, even StomperNet or John Reese's traffic secrets may be of no use.

I also have to speak about the bonuses. There are some very short 2 page reports that themselves alone will make you 1000s IF you put them to practice.

Again, if there is any newbie in 2 minds about BAB; buy it, if you don't like it just return it; what have you to lose?

Buy and return, nothing says "Free" like a good return policy.

And I wonder what are these "methods" you discovered in this course?

You needed someone to tell you how to sign up for ads networks, or the different sizes of banners?

Bul**it

William Gilreath · 03-03-2010, 07:43 PM

Thanks for all the reviews, I almost bought this product but not now.

Thanks warriors,

I've always wondered if the Gurus who launch these products ever come here and read these threads.

Michael Thai · 03-10-2010, 07:27 PM

I was silly enough to buy the course and the third upsell - "instant campaign" or something (very expensive), spent 200 bucks to buy a banner space on one of the websites recommended and after about 2 weeks i have TWO LEADS. Spent $200 to get $6!!

Lesson learnt - do not buy anything when you are emotional/desprate to get a working system/"winner" (i was and I fell into the trap)

JamesAggie · 03-10-2010, 09:19 PM

Whatever you do I would focus on getting good at one traffic source before you continue on. So many people jump around that they never get any decent traffic because they get overwhelmed.

Paul Walker · 03-11-2010, 06:31 AM

I'm not a fan of banner ads buying myself.

Buying CPA leads might work much better.

Jude.A · 03-12-2010, 07:22 AM

Thanks guys for this thread. I almost bought BAB because i've bought Saj's products before and i love them but i don't think this product is worth the price especially with all those OTOs.
I'm so glad i could get an honest review from this forum-another reason for thanking God for the day i discovered the WF.

Many of them do, but I don't think they really care. We are but a small percentage of their audience.

So many people will get duped into buying these worthless courses that a few here and there saying the product is trash has very little bearing on the overall success of their product.

They will make lots of money regardless of what we say here on this forum.

edaesq · 03-18-2010, 10:42 AM

I hope everyone is having a super day!!

Banner At Blueprint received less than impressive reviews here at the Warrior Forum. (Am I being too charitable?)

The concept of such a course appears sound, although the execution is appears weak and the content pedestrian with this particular product.

Is there an alternative course (or perhaps list of resources) that anyone could recommend, which has more substance.

Thanks so much for any direction.

Eric

DependableTrader · 03-19-2010, 10:22 PM

I recently tried banner ad blueprint. I was direct linking offers with simple media placements in ad networks. So far the results haven't been very good. I did about 35000 impressions as a test on a couple different offers. NOT A SINGLE CONVERSION. And the offers were simple email and zip submits which should have a decent conversion rate.

ShaneRQR · 03-20-2010, 05:28 AM

I reviewed BAB on my blog recently.

Here's the short version: The info in BAB is waaaaay too basic. Not that it's wrong or anything, but most of the videos just cover stuff that you can easily figure out yourself.

Definitely not worth the price, in my opinion.

Austin12 · 05-16-2010, 07:31 AM

Sounds like the jurys out on this one. I've heard some good and bad. Those upsells really get my goat. Unless your a total newbie, I think its better to save your money for the actual banner ad campaign. If they included some software on banner design then what would be more useful. All those videos and Ebooks telling you stuff you can find out for free, or requiring you to spend more money on the "secret killer" upsell before you even start are a real piss take.

banners?

Thanks,

Hi Keyz,

It's not exactly the same but I've had some good consistent results with the Secret Pay Per Click method using banners as Image ads on the content network. I'm still tweaking and getting the long list of keywords honed in but they do bring in opt-ins for a couple of my sites every day.

This strategy can be used for Clickbank, CPA or anything else you would want to promote.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!
Sally
