I Have the same opinion as well. Over time it adds to quite an amount.

I guess Alex does not need us as he already has a wide crowd of followers buying his products. He certainly spends money creating them but he must have a huge profit return selling at such high prices. Yet I still see him advertising other IM'ers products like the one Chris Freville has just launched so it gets him money as an affiliate for his friends new products.

So whatever happened to the old way of doing stuff.

1. Find a highly competitive keyword phrase. I mean really hard nosed, mega competitive.
2. Scroll all the way through the first 100 pages of results
3. Find all the blog style sites that appear on the listing for this mega competitive keyword
4. Find a low comp keyword phrase for your chosen niche
5. Post good quality, unique content to the sites you found in step 3 above

If the sites show up anywhere for the high comp keyword phrase, then for low comp they can rank quite highly.

Practice makes perfect and I can now get all my sites done in a day, including writing all the content for the sites. On average, each and every month I add around 15 sets of sites targeting 15 keyword phrases for my chosen niches.

Do I really need to automate that much more? Not for $997 plus $97 a month I don't.

Entirely true what ConcordeWarrior says... And I subscribe to it entirely...
For those of us having 997$ or more, would Stompernet be a better choice or not?

Abdul Aziz

Stompernet will give you a more comprehensive education with a reputable faculty, and more tools to lead you to success. The bad part is that it costs $797 each and every month. Google Conquest is cheap in comparison ($997 the first month, $97 each consecutive month).

Here is a link to the Stompernet sales letter if you're curious about what it offers:

Well, he still sold out. I think $997 is a drop if you are going to invest $100K following the plan. Otherwise, way too pricey, but will surely get some short term results...regards Allen

Coaching doesn't start 30 days after purchase, it starts immediately with video tape training, introduction to the various parts of the system modules, etc. There is a 60 day challenge which is what you are refering to that starts first week in Jan 2009. The reason for the delay between purchase and the start of the 60 day challenge are twofold: 1) in order to make the program affordable, Alex allows a 2 payment plan (ie) 2 payments spread over a period of 30 days. He doesn't want to start the challenge - showing you step-by-step how to achieve success until he knows who is in the program and who is dropping out because they can't afford the up-front cost or because of buyers remorse. 2) Because the 1000 or so participants in google conquest have such diverse internet marketing experience, using the first 30 days or so to get everyone up to speed and on the same page sort of levels the playing field ensurinig that each participant has an equal shot at success during the 60 day challenge. I am one of those participants. I have been studying internet marketing and suffering informatin overload for 2 years now. I can tell you that in the last 30 days I learned more from Alex than from all of the experiences of the last 2 years. So far, I am quite pleased and, oh, the biggest benefit, the colony itself...you can post any question no matter how trivial or monumental and someone (generally several) from the blog colony will get back to you with real answers from their own experiences...a wealth of resources to draw upon - George -

I cancelled my Google Conquest membership about 6 weeks ago, and I have been asking for my refund from Google Conquest for 6 weeks already, haven't got it yet after emailing to their support, admin and billing department many times. At first, their support said already sent my request to their billing, then said already sent my request to Alex, I've never got any response from Alex and their billing department. I sent my refund request to their billing directly, no response; to all the email addresses to Alex I could find, no response. Now there's no response any more from their support email address.

What should I do?


Thanks,
Jingyi

niceweb

I am also a member of Google conquest and I'm seriously considering a refund. They even charged me another $500 even though I've already paid the full amount. I can't believe they screwup something like this

Another problem for me is, this program was promised to be Alex Goads system, but today he is never seen around. The training videos and the phone calls are hosted by someone called Brian Johnson. He is okay but I was hoping for more Alex Goad, it feels like he just did a few training videos in the beginning and now he's on to the next project.

You mean the lead singer of AC/DC? I didn't realize he knew IM - Oh well, I guess we're all diversifying these days-

I haven't received the refund from Alex Goad's Google Conquest yet, it's been over 7 weeks asking and waiting. Anyone has some advice for this? Which department or site on the Net should I report this problem to? Where can I get help for this?

Thanks,
Jingyi

nini92220

Hi Jingyi,

What email address did you send you refund request to?

You can PM me if you like cause I asked for a refund on the 19th of january and someone from google conquest sent an email to me saying that the support team doesn't handle the refund anymore.
You have to send an email to the acounting department.
good luck
and PM me if you need more info
thanks
nini

Jingyi

I sent my refund request to their support and their billing department. At first, I could get some short replies, now, no responses any more.

Thanks for trying to help. I can't PM to anyone in this forum yet because the number of my posts is less than 15.

Jingyi

Thanks for all the info....i was planning to purchase this product

Jingyi

Hi, nini

After got your PM, I emailed to the Google Conquest accounting one more time. No responses so far. Have to ask the credit card company for help with this problem now. It may take a few weeks more to see the result.

Nini, Thank you so much for your help and advice!

Jingyi

DaveFromDownUnder

Nini and Jingyi,

I will pm you both with the correct email address that you need to contact. This is the email address I went through to successfully get my refund.

(I just need to make one more post to enable pm's)

you'll hear from me soon

siennamoondust

Here´s another unhappy customer of Google Conquest, who has been trying to get a refund since January 28th. My emails and support tickets get either no reply whatsoever, or they will be forwarded to someone else, who doesn´t take any action. Needless to say I´m very frustrated and worried.

So, I would be more than happy to receive some contact email or ANYTHING that might actually work. I learned a very important lesson here, but I´m not willing to pay over 1000 bucks for it..

jmidas

When I first starting reading this thread, I was thinking I would be the only one who didn't particularly like his stuff. But, I see I have company.

I just have never been impressed with what is actually delivered vs what is sold in his sales letters. My guess is that he is very good at writing sales letters, but not so much on product developement/delivery. I also recently unsubscribed from his list. Just my 2 cents.

nini92220

Hi Siennamoondust,
Just sent you a PM with some info
nini

jerreye

I am yet another unhappy customer of Alex Goad's Google Conquest.

Can someone please PM me the correct email address to request my refund for Google Conquest? I have sent in my request 3 times now to a "Jad Bitar" who handled my purchase. I got one response saying that the refund has been processed, but two weeks later, no refund! They did however, conveniently close my Conquest account the same day I sent in my first request.

I sent in two more messages to Jad and one to alex AT googleconquest DOT com, but no response.

I am getting very anxious about this.

nini92220

hI Jerreye,
just sent you a PM with email addresses but i don't think that we'll hear from them anymore.
I've been waiting for more than 3 weeks now
Maybe you should consider contacting your bank
nini

Thank you nini, I just tried that address, but I also asked for assistance from my bank. Let´s hope that we all get our money back soon.

Hi friends,

I am an active member of GC having
problems login to GC due to some "site migration to another server"
that happened one or two days ago.

None of my members name, email address or password
allows me to login, all are invalid.

I have sent emails to Alex and support but you know how things are...

Any other GC member having the same problem?

Arturo


Well, problem solved OK.
Not everything is so dark in Google Conquest...

Hi everyone,

I am another person trying to get a refund, would someone please PM me with the information? I cannot PM yet as I am new to the forum.

Let's hope I am the last person to ask about this here or this forum might turn into an ex-conquester support group!

Looking to contributing more to the forum very soon!

Thanks for the help.

Here is a post that Alex Goad put on the GC forum a couple of days ago re: refunds. As you can see, he is guaranteeing that you will get it!

"Hi Conquesters,

Things you should know about refunds:

1) they take time, sometimes 14 days or more depending on your country and the bank that issues your credit card. I am here personally making sure they are done, so please be patient and know that sending more emails just slows us down more.

2) If you asked for a refund over 14 days ago and did not receive it yet, then email me personally at whatdowehavehere@gmail.com

You MUST use this subject line : Alex, Please ADVISE

and include these details to make it easy for us to make verifications:

1) the email you used to register to the system

2) whether you used a credit card or paypal

3) when you made your request

4) an invoice number

5) your name as it appears on your card or paypal (it causes problems when you email us with another name than those since we can't find you in the system)

Also know:

I'm sorry about the bugs and delays, some of them are normal, some of them are our fault.

The bottom line is that if you have asked to be removed from the database and to receive a refund, you will get it, I peronally give you my word.

Thanks,

Alex"


I am waiting on a refund as well!

atdavidson

Thanks to nini and mikewa for the information.

I’m sure we will all get our refunds, I like to think that people are honourable and stick to their word. From what I could tell of Alex in the videos, emails and forums, he seems a decent guy and I still have faith in him.

Best of luck to everyone in future endeavours, hopefully we will see more success in this forum.

Adam

cyowell

Just in case, could someone pm me the address they used to get a refund?
I've used all the e-mails and support tickets to request one and not a word.

Will send to Alex's gmail account if necessary.

It's a good concept, but too many bugs at this point.

Thanks in advance.

We were in the program and dropped fairly recently. Maybe we were lucky, or maybe Alex and crew finally sorted out their back office mess, but we were refunded in full within a week. We liked the program a lot, just didn't want to pay for the privilege of beta testing what promises to be a very good program.

hi Mikewa,

Just wanted to say thank you for this post because
I followed all the steps and sent my last refund request on the 27th of february and got my refund on the 6th of march.

If I hadn't read your post, I wouldn't have get my refund

bIG THANK YOU

nini

mikewa

Hi nini

Glad you got your refund! From past experience, when I purchase a product I always keep a copy of the sales letter with the guarantee in. Then if you are unable to get a refund from the IM guru you can go through your credit card company if you have proof of guarantee, payments etc. The credit card company contacts the IM guru for their side of the story and if all is as you say it is, the Credit card company will give you the refund.

Credit card companies don't like merchants who do not honour their commitments as it makes customers wary about using credit cards if they have no financial recourse against dodgy merchants.

I have just been looking at the GC forum and feel I definitely made the right decision to bail out. Here is a post from a few days ago:-

Where's Alex?
Does anyone know if Alex Goad is still involved with Google Conquest?

There has been a lot of turmoil, now we're hearing from Inhouse Experts that GC may not be the answer we've been looking for, there don't seem to be a whole lot of people in the forums, Brian's training often seemed in conflict with Alex's initial training and he once said the claim that we would be making $200 a day after 60 days was just "sales copy," there have been no notable improvements in recording the webinars or organizing downloads ...

I'd think the time you would want to be most present is when things are in turmoil, which prompts my question.

I'm actually not complaining, and still plugging away, just wondering where's Alex?

Hope you find a better programme to get involved in . . . .

hi all....i recently delved into SEO (Google Conquest) and Adwords

previously, i've made the majority of my online money from ebay...my biggest profit in a 24 hour period from ebay is about $1,250 from $1,599 in sales

the problem was i couldn't do that on a consistent basis...finding wholesale products at the right price to make a decent profit

at one point..spring and the beginning of summer of 2007... i was making $100-$200 per day on ebay, just selling seagate and maxtor hard drives from one supplier (frys.com)

sometimes i had them drop-ship and other times i shipped to my customers

for different reasons, the hard drives stopped being profitable (frys raised the prices, being one)

so, then i sold refurbished saeco italia espresso/cappucino machines on ebay and hit another jackpot...these things sold like hotcakes..i made about $40 net profit each sale

unfortunately, these machines had major problems..they didn't last long, plus i was shipping half of them to canada..customers had to pay a duty...it was mess when they wanted a refund!

so, then comes Google Conquest....i bought it, said i'd give it the 90 days and if i wasn't making at least the $97 monthly, then i would request a refund

well, the system is great..especially, using paypal to find markets? for me that was really an eye-opener! (GC'ers know what i'm talking about)

alex taught for the 1st month..as a result i got lawyerspinalinjury com.....organinbaldnesstreatment org buyprojectfatloss com
historylinuxos com

then, brian started teaching at the 60-day challenge and flipped the script on what alex was teaching..so our previous sites based on alex's teaching were not optimized properly..it was like starting over (1st 30 days..gone)

after brian, i did sinusremedy net dualcoloncleanse net womenhairrestoration com getridyeastinfection com foodslowerbloodpressure com (you can see the progression from the 1st 30 days)

i was getting consistent adsense money (less than $1 per day) from my sites

i social bookmarked and then WHAM!...Google Pimp Slap!

3 of my sites were thrown into page oblivion....no more adsense

and get this, those sites ranked 1-4 within the first day that i put them up!

so after about 88 days, i requested a refund..and it took 2 weeks to get that

in fairness, i really like the wordpress seo methods..they do work..and they continue to work for me, as far as ranking is concerned

however, the amount of money you can make within a short period of time is limited, unless you do sniping, which is another animal

i just didn't think the price and promise of google conquest justified me keeping it

now, i'm combining the gc skills i learned with gcd and hoping to strike gold

So apparently Alex Goad is relaunching Google Conquest as something like Google Conquest Authority on May 5.
Even though I went for a refund I still got an email asking for a testimonial:-

Hi Mike,

As you probably know, we will be re-launching
Conquest on May 5th, with a new challenge, some
new templates and extra good stuff for you too...

One thing that lends a lot of credibility is
opinions from people in the system, so it would
mean a lot to me if you took a few minutes to
answer the following request:

Please copy paste the questions or fields below
in a word document and complete it with your own
answers.

When done, please send it back to me at this email
address whatdowehavehere@gmail.com

If you are among those that can brag about making
15k in a week like some members I already have
testimonials from, then by all means write in...

BUT

If you didn’t get that kind of concrete bankable
result(yet!), I’m sure that you’ve enjoyed other types
of benefits which are just as important to future
customers, so please share that with me! It really
helps me shape future training to understand what
you enjoy and benefit from...

Note that by sending in your feedback to the
address above, you are giving me permission to
use part or all of it in my marketing.

Anybody who sends in an entry that I end up using
now or ever in my marketing gets a nifty flip cam
as a thank you for your time.

Note that this is not a bribe to say something good
about us, it’s a bribe to actually send it in if you
do have something good to say.

It’s very important that anything you send in be
completely true (I don’t suspect anybody would make
anything up, but I have to say that just in case).

Ok cool, here we go:

1) Copy paste this and email it (completed) to whatdowehavehere@gmail.com with the title Alex, here is FEEDBACK

2) Name:
3) Address:
4) Occupation:
5) How many times have you used our services and products?
6) What is your overall feeling about me / our company
7) Describe in detail a specific experience with us that you were happy with:
8) Describe the one or two benefits that you have gotten
from us that you value the most. Explain specifically what
you’ve gotten out of them:

Thank you very much! We appreciate your honest answers,
and I guarantee you I will personally read all of these,
good or bad.

Please send in within 48 hours so I have time to review.
Cheers,
Alex

I followed the GC forums until very recently and no-one said they were earning what they had been led to believe they would for the system ($200 a day from 40 sites after 6o days). In fact most were lamenting that they were unable to monetise their sites successfully. Some had 40-45 sites but were only making a few dollars in total a day.

Now Alex says he has testimonials of people that can brag at making 15k a week! It must be from the "sniper" system which was something different from the main thrust of GC. (The sniper system is a short-term strategy targeting launches of products.)

Hopefully he is not using Mark Dulisse as a testimonial since Mark was supposedly an "in-house expert" and "guru" way before GC was launched.

Of course every testimonial used gets a "nifty flip cam" which must not be confused with a bribe.

In my oponion, ALL testimonials in sales letters must be taken with a grain of salt!

Avidpoet

Wow all these refunds I guess they are reopening because I got an email from someone promoting it. Think I'll pass after reading all these.

BenShaffer

Hi Avidpoet,

I think that what you may not realize is that often what you see on a thread like this is when people come out to flame. So, although undoubtably some if not all of the posts may be true, they are not representative of the full customerbase.

Although I was not a customer of GC, I was a JV partner and also helped out at the beginning many of the customers. The atmosphere and enthusiasm within the members forum was unlike anything I have ever seen before and I remember comparing it to a popcorn machine with the popcorn coming out as it 'clicked' for each member when they started making money.

As a JV partner, the number of refunds on my account was actually extremely low and WAY lower than usual for a high-priced item which is delivered digitally. In fact, the number of people who are still paying (on my account) the recurring charge is about 70% which is actually quite remarkable.

What this means is, that these 70% of people not only didn't refund, but also are actively paying each and every month in order to stay a member and make money using the automated tools within the membership.

There were teething problems.
There were billing problems.
There were even some mistakes and miscommunication.

But at the end of the day, Google Conquest (GC) is relaunching because overall it has been an incredible success for its members and has made them a lot of money. We can all focus on the things that did or didn't go wrong, but surely the fact that there are so many success stories is the most important thing.

Best Wishes,

Ben Shaffer

BenShaffer

Oh Simon,
My instincts tell me that you know a lot more than you are letting on.

However, if you really think that GC is Firepow with a free forum then I strongly suggest that you go to googleconquest.com , follow the prelaunch and then read the salesletter and then you will find out more.

But in short, although one of the elements is similar to Firepow, there is much much more.

*WSO* Controversial New Software - over 200 copies sold

1000th Post - Long and Controversial

SimonHarrison

Err ?

No time Ben, certainly not to read from one of Alex' war and peace sales pages, plus in reality you learn little from sales pages, I want real world feedback from customers, not affiliates or Alex's sales copy.

Hence I'm after the abbreviated synopsis from somebody, seems very much like Firepow to me with a forum/support mechaism thrown in , however I'm willing to bet the house your chances of actually ever speaking to Alex are slim to none and slim just left town.


EDIT@

Ohh, this is a relaunch of an existing product, so we should have plenty of customers already making good money with it, feedback please...

Sig Smig - I'm selling nowt.

BenShaffer

Simon,
Obviously you have some agenda although not sure what it is. We both know that you are very familiar with what GC is and there are threads in the Warrior Forum to prove it.

So when you say:

"Isn't this basically Firepow with a free forum ? "

You already know that it is not.

When you act with surprise:

"Ohh, this is a relaunch of an existing product"

You already know that it is a relaunch.

If you are a genuine perspective customer then I would expect that you would read a salesletter before purchasing. If you are too busy to find out from the prelaunch what this is about, then once again it is probably not for you as you would not take action on the info.

Simon, if you have genuine questions about GC, feel free to PM me.

Err, excuse me, stop throwing insults around Ben, I don't have a damm clue what it is, nor do I remember ever discussing it frankly, I have zero agenda thank you very much.

What threads, how about a link ???????

Err, no ben, in your mind perhaps, in reality NOT.

err no thanks Ben, seeing as you apparently already have a perfect understanding past even my own of what I apparently already know!!!!!

And again a sales letter tells me nada, zilch , zip, real world feedback does from real customers.

Jeez, quite an amazing response.

I don't have as single memory of the product, full stop.

I've just infact searched this forum and found 4 threads on Google Conquest, not one of which I have ever posted in.

You have managed to not just imply but state as fact that I am being misleading, have an agenda, am faking suprise.

Well thank you for that, apart from being erroneous it's also incredibly rude and If I have ever commented on this product then I simply don't remember it one iota.

I realised it was a relaunch due to a comment somebody made on page one about it being so.

So when you're quite finished with your character assisination not to mention being wrong in every aspect so far, I would appreciate an apology .

If you could manage to get any further up the wrong tree in just two posts I would be amazed.

Finally how about these links to me commenting on this product previously ?????

Sig Smig - I'm selling nowt.

The idea behind conquest was sound. teach you to blog, show you some tricks, and then upload quickly thru his private label version of firepow.

unfortunetly, the so called guru behind it went awol and was gone for 2 or 3 months.

members got pissed and left in droves.

when alex returned he mentions nothing nor does he offer any apology. instead he touts how google conquest is coming!

its turned into a joke.

save your money and go with firepow. andrew hanson rocks and has setup a service where a newbie like myself can churn out blogs with no prior experience
