    I bought the "Adsense $100k Blueprint" a few weeks ago when it was offered as a pre-launch special offer" to Bring The Fresh members. Here is my review. I don't sell in the IM arena and I'm not promoting the product.

    The product consists of an ebook - the "Blueprint" - plus about 10 'how-to' videos, a download of a custom theme & plugins, and a separate 'extra', an ebook called "The IM Toolbox".

    The main ebook is just over 100 pages, and is incredibly comprehensive. I read another review, I think the one listed at the beginning of this thread, where the guy says something like '100 pages of pure gold' and I have to say I feel the same way.

    It's essentially divided into two parts. The first part goes into how & why it works, and the second part is the actual 'action plan'.

    The first part - including chapters on Adsense, SEO & ranking, niche selection, keyword selection, and judging competition - are some of the clearest things I've ever read on the subjects. I feel like I have a completely new understanding of how these things work now, and because of that feel like I can now 'control my own destiny' as far as ranking sites - not just Adsense sites.

    The second part provides the step-by-step guide to creating the sites.

    The videos are clearly aimed at 'newbies', going over basics like getting Wordpress installed, Google Analytics, etc. If you aren't already comfortable in these areas, they would probably be helpful.

    I've built my first two "Blueprint" sites, trying to follow the plan as closely as I could in order to see if I got the expected results. It's only been a few weeks, but so far it seems to be working as promised, but I would expected it to since I now understand what I'm doing and why.

    The material is done in a way I haven't seen elsewhere - it was actually fun to read - and I didn't feel like I was getting 'old stuff' that's just repackaged. Reading the ebook really opened my eyes to a lot of things I thought I knew. Most it it would apply just as well to any marketing strategy that relies on rankings.

    If there is a downside, it's that this isn't a "quick fix" or something you can buy and be on your way in an hour. It's definitely not a 'magic button' product, but the author says that upfront. It took me a couple of days to get through the whole ebook and digest it, and since then I've re-read some of the chapters to improve my understanding.

    Does it work? It almost becomes besides the point for me. It has given me the confidence that I can now build sites in almost any niche and get them to rank on the first page, whether I use Adsense or any other strategy. All in all, the value for me is extremely high, more that some products I've paid hundreds for (Arbitrage Conspiracy...)

      I got this course a few day ago and must say it's very clear and concise. No fluff whatsoever. Probably one of the best buys I've made this year. 100 page PFD with 8 videos. I understand they are also bringout more videos in the future.

      There is supposed to be a private forum but am waiting to be given the link.

      I highly recommend it.

      And yet, ironically, that is exactly what you got. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just because it's "old stuff" doesn't mean it isn't relevant stuff that works. But the reality is, there's nothing in this product that is unique, or new. Pick high ppc keywords with weak-ish competition, build sites/blogs around those keywords, get links.

      The course is weak when it comes to discussing the best ad layout.....it pretty much doesn't. They say it is very important, and that they have done a lot of testing, tweaking, retesting and optimizing to get things just right. It says you need to do what they do to get their results, but then they don't tell you what it is they're doing to get 8%-50% CTRs. I can tell you the WP template they provide isn't it. In my experience using it on several sites over the past year or more, the CTR is terrible.

      Overall though, it's a decent product. If you do what it says, you should eventually see some success.

        I was pretty surprised to find many areas of the book showed "live" examples of their real sites - with URL's - to illustrate his points. And they're some of the big $$ ones from the salespage video, not 'made for the book' examples.

        That was something that really sold me, the sales page video that said something about being tired off these products where they don't even use their own methods lol! Even still I don't know if I would have been willing to use my own successful sites as 'case studies'.

      There is nothing new in this course. Its what's already mentioned in previous products.

      My friend and mutual consultant bought it. She is not a stickler for following instructions to the letter and has admitted that not all the steps were followed exactly, or in some cases, not done at all. Never the less, she is making money with just one site up and running using the "Adsense 100K" method. She says that she is very excited about it, and will continue to use it. She is very satisfied with the product.

    This is my kind of product.
    I hadn't done anything with AdSense before, and I associated it with crappy micro-sites targeted at ultra-longtail keywords, earning a few cents a month.

    This is a completely different deal altogether. The guide is very down-to-earth and wastes no time with hype or over-promising. It's a very solid guide to picking keywords, creating the right kind of content and basically building medium-sized websites that get a good amount of traffic and earn a good amount for each click.

    It's very cool and I've just dusted off my neglected AdSense account to get started.

      Hi Terry. What you qoted is my opinion of the product.
      I like it a lot. It's a very well put together guide and for me personally, it made the penny drop, concerning AdSense. I never did anything AdSense related before, because I didn't see the potential.

      Now, I'm building AdSense sites and I even have a small challenge going on with some of my subscribers.

      When you say "medium-sized websites" how many pages do you mean?

    I was given the chance to read the $100K Adsense Blueprint, and I agree with the others here saying that the guide is a good one. It's very thorough, and covers every step you need to make money with Adsense. I have failed with making sites to use with Adsense in the past, but I plan to scratch everything I've learned and put the methods in this product into play.

    Hey all,

    I actually have a somewhat unique insight on this product as I was sort of a, 'test subject' if you will...

    Once the co-creators of the BluePrint made the decision they were going to consolidate their knowledge into a product, they contacted me with a request.

    Being fully aware of the natural skepticism people would have towards the real life plausibility of a Joe-Schmo like myself being able to create a powerhouse website using a so called, "BluePrint", they asked me if I would take their raw guide and do just that.

    Obviously I accepted, and my objective was simple- build a website using a rough outline of their techniques while they focused on refining the actual product into something that would be presentable to the masses; in turn, my website would be the first 100% genuine 'case study' by reaching it's full earning potential in time for the product launch...

    Here's the deal. The product has already launched so I'm about a month behind schedule as my site is still a couple of ranking positions below #1 spot (my primary KW has 9,900 - exact match - searches per month). Building a website of this magnitude certainly requires you to pull your weight in the beginning but is far more rewarding and profitable for me than any 'micro-niche' type site has been, or ever will be.

    With November as the fourth month my site has been 'live' I would like to share with you some of the data I've been producing with my very first Adsense $100k BluePrint site:

    August: $60.49 - http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2646/aug.png

    September: $298.86 - http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/879/sept.png

    October: $403.79 - http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/307/octs.png

    November: $599.33 - http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/2568/nova0.png

    **August-November Analytics** - http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8052/any.png

    As mentioned, this site is about one month behind schedule but is still on track for $1,500 - $2,000 per month in pure Adsense profit as soon as I make the final push into #1 position for it's main KW, not bad.

    Considering how greatly refined, groomed and coherent the final $100k BluePrint product currently is, in comparison to the raw text file I was initially given to follow, I'm very, very pleased with the results I'm yielding and certainly foresee a new level of success in the New Year!

      That is good money- that said without knowing all the work involved also.

      "Can you REALLY earn $100/day from one site - in 90 days...?
      How about $300/day from the same site - in 180 days...?
      WE DO! Want to know how? Then keep reading.."

      The blueprint plan is stating $100/day after 90 days but your results are showing $20/day average after 120 days.

      How much work is this to do and maintain and will the income eventually match the advertised claims? Not according to the results thus far.....

        Orseay's last post was made in May 2012 and he last logged in sometime in October 2012. So that would put him in the M.I.A. category. The post that orseay made, the one you quoted, the same one that shows a very respectable representation of earnings he made with AdSense, appears to have been posted in 2010, prior to the Panda/Penguin shakeup. Shit happens, hope he's not in prison or pushing up daisies.

          That was the original reason I bought 100K Adsense Blueprint. Unfortunately for me, about 2 months later, Penguin hit and then Panda. Now Michael doesn't even mention adsense as a viable money making website.

              I will quote you, because I too made a similar post here on WF and my post got deleted out of thin air. Seems cops aren't the only ones who can be corrupted

              Hopefully your post stays so other's dont buy into the hype. The day I mentioned about all the people complaining about never getting their hubs or refunds, my post was deleted, and the entire thread on his forum was deleted as well (i was also banned for awhile).

He peddles products like ready made Authority Hubs, or blueprints with promises of updates. Only there are quite a few people left hanging without authority hub site or refund ($500), and the updates of blueprints never come. If anyone complains on his forum, they get banned, and their posts get deleted. Apparently he has enough clout here, too, to get critical posts removed. Buy his stuff, by all means, but beware of his modus operandi. His word is no good.

    Perhaps you should read your own quotations...

    "WE DO! Want to know how? Then keep reading.."

    ...more specifically, that big two letter word at the beginning, "WE".

    I realize it may seem crazy that after mastering the process of building these sites, the creators of the BluePrint have slightly better results than my very first one.

    $100/day and $300/day within the specified time frames are not fabricated and after I drop the iron on a few wrinkles, will certainly be closer to the outcome of my next build.

    I have a hard time finding anything negative about creating a site that earns $1,500 - $2,000/mth which I can sell for $20k+...

    Pessimism is a dangerous addiction, dude.

      Orseay - Thanks for the post on this project. For me personally if my site was making $600 from Adsense alone after 4 months I would be pretty happy with it. I'm still debating on this course as I would like to ramp up my Adsense earings and this looks to be a pretty thorough course.

      Their quotation is an inference on how much is to be made or should be made; your results differ by 5 times, not a slight difference, so it was brought up for review.

      I hope it works as planned and am considering this as my plan of action.

      Next time think before you get snarky with people for bringing up good/valid points; that kind of tone is undeserved and not appreciated.

      That said> Good Luck with your ventures, you are on your way to a lucrative business. I will likely be following suit in the near future.

        While they obviously want to sell their program and want it to be attractive, I think that was written pretty reasonably. To me, it says "here's what we're able to do using our system. Want to see how we do it, and learn how to do that yourself?"

        Having the course myself, I don't at all feel this is unrealistic, but I also don't expect to build my first site out of the gate and reach $100/day in 90 days.

        Throughout the course the author says very plainly, this is a business model not a 'magic button', and that requires time, effort, and some dedication in order to get all the results they are getting.

        I've recently joined the forum, and they are pretty active and seem to be pretty dedicated to, as they say often, "helping make sure can reach the same results we get".

        It's a Clickbank product, refunds aren't too difficult. I think if you are looking for a really good, well-presented, serious business, and you take the time to read the main book, you'll be pretty thrilled. I was.

          That sounds pretty good.

          I have spent too much time reviewing many mostly incomplete or useless IM programs in the last year so it would be nice to see a complete product. Many were related so that was part of acquiring a library of sorts of related strategies.

          I have not pursued Adsense sites as yet but am interested in this particular model as it could produce some excellent long term, mostly hands off income, if all accounts are on mark.

          I am skeptical for the most part due to the fact that probably 80% of the programs are not worth the money, incomplete or faulty. My Auditor day job entails I assess all information and look for weaknesses in the content and statements; therefore I notice and bring up any Issues that may be outright puffery or marketing lies. It appears on initial review that this product will deliver what it says- albeit not the exact same results stated by the vendors time frame, at least not always. But that is very tolerable if the results show up in a reasonable time thereafter.

          My question to those of you involved with this program. What is involved in applying this format? Are we building large authority sites and the like or is it more digestable and easier to implement than that?

          The money earned is promising as is the fact that these sites can be flipped later for good profit as Owen states; but how much is really involved, is it a better pursuit time wise than other IM attempts?

          Thanks for relating your experiences/reviews with this product so the uninformed can garner the process used in this program. It is important that anyone using the program elaborate a complete as possible assessment and review of the whole plan and not just say I made this amount of money but the back story may be that it took hundreds of hours to earn such.

          Thanks for your time!

            Yes, this is an approach that requires time, work and effort, but is not over the top by any means. Once you grasp the concepts and actually begin implementing them, you will love what you do and the work will no longer feel like work.

            For the purposes of my 'test run' everything was done by hand and nothing except the content creation was outsourced (to a college student, not a pennies an hour word butcher); however, with such defined steps and processes, the outsourcing process will be simple for anyone to implement.

            Even without any outsourcing, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the last summer month of August, take two weeks to relocate from Canada to Florida for the winter, and spend a week in Mexico with friends without a worry.

            Tomorrow I am going to Seattle for five days, and at the end of the month I will be going back to Canada for two weeks. The point is, you can work from anywhere when you have a defined strategy and the line separating work from leisure quickly fades - just make sure you hide your laptop from everyone's eyes when you're at the dinner table! :p

                I have heard of Adsense accounts gettting disabled or banned for various/some reasons.

                Is there anything to worry about there as long as one attends to the site properly and doesn't mess around, i.e, fraudulent clicks or other reasons to arouse interrogation?

                Why would some accounts be removed and is it smart to have separate Adsense accounts for this and is that easily done by 1 person?

                Thanks for your time!

      For a long long time.... this is the best IM product I bought from CB. However, this is not a get-rich-quick approach.... the approach used in this course is quite different from other existing Adsense courses I have seen.

      This course recommends us to go for niches where other Adsense courses tell us to avoid... so you will face some competition but that is where the BIG money is made... so targeting the right keywords is key to your success. If you look at the sites used in the blueprint, they are more than 2 years old and the sites have gained some page rank... so be patient and expect to put in some effort.... I can confidently say that the blueprint works if you follow it!

        Indeed wrays.

        If you've trained yourself to identify and recognize only micro-niche type KW's this course will require a little rethinking and 'unlearning', as the main approach is based on the longer term development of bigger, more powerful websites.

        I used to have a spread sheet with hundreds of micro-niche websites and I can tell you right now, the ratio of cumulative work hours - outsourced or not - to the level of reward and value doesn't even compare.

        Allow me to make a hypothetical example:

        I'm not going to point any fingers, but let's just say 'Mr. Negative' is right and my current site doesn't hit $100/day, but rather plateaus at the $50-$70/day which I'm fully prepared for.

        Now, let's assume I didn't learn anything and didn't figure out any ways to improve my next project so I don't do any better with my second one...Boo Hoo! I'm still going to make a site that earns $1,500 - $2,100/mth. Combine that with the first one, and you're pulling in $3-$4k/mth, AND you're sitting on $40-$60k in extremely liquid assets.

        In my humble opinion, the exact-match domain micro-niche stuff is quickly becoming a thing of the past, and unless you're okay with spinning your wheels I would suggest you go for the gusto.

        Furthermore, I think one of the biggest things people are missing with this, is the fact that you can apply the BluePrint techniques to ANY website which relies on SEO and rankings. Adsense just happens to be the easiest, most fundamental way to monetize a website, but any 'big boy' niche with high CPC's also partners with the option of extremely high CPA offers and such.

        If you're not interested in promoting CPA offers and you don't like Adsense, then dominate a high traffic niche and start a drop-shipping business or sell your own product...the options are endless when you can dominate the search engines.

        Cheers,

        Owen

          Mr. Negative is here and available anytime you want an actual constructive criticism or assessment of copy!

          There appears to be less trustworthy, complete products out there than not and hundreds of Warriors and the like can attest and support that view.

          Not all flowers and bunnies out there, especially in the IM field.

          Unwise to blindly follow without some due diligence first.

          Thanks for your input/additional comments on this product Owen, more insight helps.

    As long as you play by the rules, you'll be fine.

    There is of course the odd story of 'innocent' people getting their accounts banned, but for the most part, that is only happening to people who take part in sketchy practices and do things that blatantly go against Google's clearly described Terms & Conditions. ( https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms )

    One safety measure you can take, is specifying your list of 'allowed sites' by making the following simple adjustment to your AdSense account:

    How do I add sites to my Allowed Sites list? - AdSense Help

    Google is smart enough now to know - for the most part - when something is your fault or someone/something else's.

    Absolute worst case scenario, you can register as many LLC's (tax id's) and open as many P.O. Boxes as you want- those two things are all you need to open a new AdSense account!

    Follow the rules though and you'll be just fine.

    Fwiw, one of the early chapters is "About Adsense" which includes an excellent section called "Keeping your Adsense account" with very solid advice, plus links directly to Googles TOS and 'Program Policies'.

    The more I re-read the book, the more I appreciate how well it is written. These guys are definitely not the all-to-typical "say anything to get rich quick" marketers. I would consider the course a thorough, realistic, and achievable business plan, and I'm finding myself applying many of their methods and strategies across all my Internet marketing efforts. For me it's been something of a turning point, from looking for looking for the next 'magic guru system' to feeling like I can now build a real, and lucrative online business career.

      Thanks for adding your comments.

      These types of responses are important and show more inner worth to a product and diminish ones anxiety in pursuing such plans. It is good to hear that these logical and attainable paths are in existence; without killing oneself with mass detail and overly ridiculous amounts of work or attention.

      I have no problems applying 10-20 hours a week at this or other online businesses but did not want to continually refocus from time bandits to other potential income plans each month or two after they clearly prove they won't work as planned.

      This sounds promising and may be either a good singular pursuit or part of a multi pronged approach to remove the Boss from the monthly equation!

    As far as I know, WP Unique doesn't actually make your content unique, it changes the ascii text to unicode in the page source. If someone were to search the content itself, every other indexed copy of it would show up.

    In building a Blueprint site, you would want to use fully unique content for the site itself, though some products like The Best Spinner will do perfectly fine turning your PLR into suitable content.

    There are no upsells, downsells, cross-sells, OTO's, pop-ups, exit blockers, etc... Everything necessary is included, plus some stuff that isn't required but great to have.

    There is a forum which has just launched, already has appx. 150 members and over 500 posts, and some very good, active threads.

    It is about to be launched as an option after purchase of the course, or separately to those who now have the course. It will be a free 7-day trial, then $17/month.

          You did not state facts.

          The promo video on the sales page shows a live login to Escrow.com showing more than $100k revenues, and that on sales of only 4 sites. That is a fraction of the revenues from just a 12 month period, and doesn't even include the daily Adsense revenues, which by itself totals more than $100k. Are you suggesting that is "fake"? This is all very easily verifiable stuff.

      Be very careful about making this sort of accusation. There are *zero* fake screenshots.

      Stock Market Day Trading and Yeast Infection Home Remedies have nothing to do with the Blueprint, they were sites thrown up to take advantage of some individual keyword opportunities that came up. Wild disclaimer: we even own some non-Adsense sites.

      Nor is any of this based "using XFactor's method" unless you consider exact-match domain names to be an "XFactor method". I own his course, respect him and his methods. The Blueprint is an entirely different business model.

      As for the testimonials, *every one* is from someone who reviewed the product and provided *honest* reviews. We have since received dozens and dozens of additional, *unsolicited* *rave* testimonials. Of the comments on this thread, as far as I know, one person has a PLR store - and I have no idea what that might have to do with anything.

    Black Hat Cat,

    I appreciate your comments, and would like to respond. I think what people are finding to be 'new' or 'not the same old stuff' - and we've received dozens of similar sentiments - is the approach we take. To boil it down to such general terms as "find high paying keywords with low competition and build a site" is like saying all product or affiliate marketing models are the 'same old stuff - find something people want, build a site around it, and sell it at a profit'.

    Similarly, while I don't doubt your experience with the layout, by itself the layout is only one factor in your CTR. For instance, the same layout can have a low CTR when used with a product-centric site, and a much higher CTR when used with an 'informational' site.

    We do say exactly what we're doing to get those CTR's - it is 'big picture' equation: the type of site (product-centric vs. informational), plus the targeted keyword phrases ('secondary' informational search keywords), plus the content (decent / mediocre), plus the content layout (predominantly text, no secondary headlines, etc.), plus the layout itself, etc. In this regard, greater success with Adsense is very much a "sum of many parts". When all these factors hit on all cylinders, the results are excellent - and repeatable. That is what we teach - the "how" (and "why") of each relevant factor as we do it ourselves, and putting them all together. This is what our 'formula' is, and we have tried to distill it into a step-by-step process. It becomes a "do what we do, and you can expect similar results".

        I read through the ebook, and it is a solid blueprint.
        You will have to do the work to make it work.

        Everything is step by step.
        How niches are chosen is different from many other adsense courses,
        and worth considering.

        In all fairness if you have been around the seo/link building/adsense block,
        some of the information may be familiar to you, except for niche selection and content writing.

        Overall a good adsense blueprint.

            After buying the course just a week ago the two most apparent aspects that have affected me are these.

            First is what I believe to be the strongest point. I believe the sites described in the course are what the search engines are looking for. I can't imagine any changes that Google might make in the future that could cause these sites to be de-indexed unlike so many auto blog sites that seem to be always on the search engine radar.

            While the sites do take work, that is I feel their strength. Completely opposite from building dozens of auto blogs and hoping Google won't make a human review or the fear that everything you do has to be cloaked or hidden in some way to disguise your methods. Please understand I am not knocking those techniques, I am only trying to point out the difference.

            Someone asked if this would work for new marketers and would it be possible to use PLR. Personally I feel this would be an excellent course for a beginner especially if he or she had not bought lots of other stuff which might serve to confuse. It would take longer to apply than other methods but I feel it would greatly reward those who took the time to learn and apply.

            This in my opinion is a solid approach but it will not work if the attitude is how many of these things can I build quickly with PLR and other methods that will not cause me to have to work very hard or spend time doing research.

            The second aspect of the course is the hardest for me to digest. It is almost completely opposite from all I have learned and studied and applied in other courses. The theme that is advised is, as someone above mentioned, certainly not an award winner to the eye to say the least.

            Although I have great faith in this course and am impressed by it's designers I still have trouble changing some of my current sites over to the recommended theme but I am doing it because I believe that is what makes the theory work. Time and testing will I am confident prove that they are correct.

            Is is probably never a good plan to build a business with just one affiliate program such as eBay partner network, Adsense or Amazon. Even when everything is done properly these programs can disappear as many in Carolina and other states have discovered when the law makers there decided to change the tax laws and drive Amazon out of the area. Many Ebay affiliates have had their dreams dashed when notified their account was canceled without an explanation

            However I believe that Adsense is a solid business model and if efforts were made to promote other programs at the same time this would provide good business insurance.

            I was introduced to this course through a webcast that lasted two hours. Normally I am gone from these things in 30 minutes. However I stayed because of the quality of the information these guys were presenting but was prepared for a super expensive program to be announced at the end. I was surprised at what I believe to be a low price and my belief in the designers was strengthened when I was not subjected to any upsells.

            The forum while new is building daily. My opinion after a week is that this is a very good course presented by two honorable marketers who seem intent on helping anyone willing to do the work to see success. Money well spent in my opinion.

              I actually took the plunge and bought this course but I keep seeing a mention of a forum. I got no notice of a forum that is associated with this product. Was this something extra that I missed?

      not really you can always get a keyword with low but quality traffic and try to rank for it and it will pay off aftersome time since the people who search for it are serious about it. I hope this helps you

      Hey everyone...

      I have been with a100k for about 8 months now and have built 3-4 sites from scratch using their system and communicating on their forum. Just yesterday I sold one of those sites on flippa for $4200-00. That site was making around $400 a month. (And I am going to help the new owner make it a $800 a month site). One of my other sites is making about $600 a month and the other one was a flop (boohoo)... The 4th one is new but will be the best of all of them (now that I know the system so well..it aint hard, just do what they tell ya).... I have tried all kinds of systems and internet marketing methods before but this is the one that I chose to stick with... and that's because it works... not just works now..but works tomorrow too..... it's simple and it's good. The very best thing about it, is that they change with the industry... actually I would go so far as to say Michael is a leader in the industry.... Everyone helps each other and if something sucks, someone will tell you so.. and same if it works... If you want to scam and trick your way to misguided glory then this is not for you, but if you want to build worthy sites that actually make money that you can be proud of selling and also, may actually gain in ranking after a panda update then you should join us..... I am staying.. this is the way forward for me.

    Chet,

    Thanks for your honest and considered review.

    TiffanyB,


    During our 'pre-launch' we set up a few offers for the forum. I'm happy to say that while relatively new, we already have a few hundred active members, over 1000 threads, and some very worthwhile conversations between some very motivated and serious marketers. It seems to be pretty well split across 'newbie' and seasoned IMers.

    We are emailing all new customers with a 7-day free trial for the private forum.

    You should see an email from us today.

    Best,

    Adam

    UPDATE

    It's been close to 2 months since I bought the Adsense 100k Blueprint.

    The first week or two I read through the materials, but didn't really start on my project, so it's been somewhere around 6 weeks since I really began.

    First thoughts - I have to say my whole outlook has changed. One thing this course did for me is make a lot of things really clear for me. If I think back to before I read the book, I realize I either didn't have a clue in some very critical areas, or what I thought I knew was wrong or incomplete.

    I tried to follow the outline given - I began with some brainstorming, decided on my main topic, and found my "primary" keyword phrase. From there, I developed my "keyword phrase group" of 7 additional keywords (8 in total). I registered my domain and opted to write the initial content myself. I followed the guidline for how to write the content and optimize it.

    My site was indexed pretty quickly, and I spent the next few weeks doing the 'action plan' - essentially doing basic backlinking to all my "keyword target" pages.

    At this point, 2 of my chosen keywords have reached the first page, and I'm getting some consistent traffic. I realize (after the fact) that I didn't choose all my keywords as well as I could have, but that's because I didn't follow their recommendations.

    I started getting some clicks pretty quickly, and for the last 7-8 days have averaged about $8 per day. I know it isn't a lot, but I'm very psyched! If I get all my targeted keywords to do equally well, I will have a $20 or $25/day site, which for me is terrific, and much better that I had been doing for one site.

    Overall, I've been getting the "promised" results, though in some areas I haven't been as diligent as I could have, opting to do what I wanted to do rather than what was suggested.

    I've also joined the forum, and it's starting to blossom. It seems as though they must be on there all day & night since almost every new posting gets at least one reply. And many of them are long, detailed, in-depth responses. It's almost unfortunate that this seems to be the exception rather than the rule, but I haven't had this kind of support on other purchases.

    All in all, I'm excited by my progress, and plan to start on my second site after Christmas. More than the specific success with my new site, I feel really empowered by what I've learned.

    Kim

    PS - It seems John's new book (xfactor) is finally out. I'm going to get it just to see if there are any tidbits I can use to improve what I'm doing now, though knowing what I now know, it's hard to imagine it will be anything earth shattering.

      Just out of curiosity, how much content do you have on this site (how many pages)?

    From looking at the landing page and reading the reviews it seems like this is a no bull**** style e-book which is nice to see in the marketing industry, I get kind of sick of get rich quick promises.

    UPDATE: I've reached my goal of $25/day from my blueprint site (my most recent "7-day average" was $26.11), and I'm really excited!

    I'm averaging about 65 visitors per day - though it goes up during the week and dips over the weekend - from 3 of my targeted keywords that are now on Page 1. Most of it comes from my first "primary" keyword which is hovers between #3 and #4 (the other two are near the bottom of Page 1). Since I am continuing with my backlinking efforts as per the provided "action plan", I'm confident I'll get my other targeted keywords onto page 1 eventually.

    It's not a million dollars, but I feel that it's pretty stable so far, and more importantly, that I can repeat it over and over.

    I also got through xfactors huge new adsense book. I found a lot of good information that I can use, but overall I don't like the direction as much as the $100k blueprint. Among other things, he recommends going after a slew of longtail keywords, where the blueprint course emphasizes focusing your efforts on getting good rankings for a small number of specifically targeted 'keyword phrases'. The benefit of this approach is that it is more predictable, and if I've chosen my keywords well, I know what I can expect, and roughly how long it will take. The blueprint course does suggest going after more of those longtail keywords, but only after getting ranked for the main ones you are initially targeting. I also feel the blueprint course is much more of a clear step-by-step plan which is something I needed.

    I also have to say the blueprint forum has become a fantastic resource - almost "one-on-one" coaching from the author, plus some other very smart people. Whenever someone asks a question, there's usually a pretty quick but very detailed reply, and they've been adding a lot of "goodies" and freebies. The other people on the forum seem pretty serious about their efforts for the most part, which makes it feel like a community.

    My plan now is to take what I've learned and set myself a goal of launching a new site every two weeks - 2 per month - throughout the winter (I have already started on my second site). I plan to keep half of the sites and sell half, and hope to reach a combined $100 per day with the ones I keep, by next summer. I feel that's a realistic goal.

        But if you want to know how serious I am about this course, here's a story I'm almost embarrassed to tell. I bought the product on December 29. On January 4, I found an affiliate for the course offering a lifetime membership to the forum as a bonus. So I bought it again through that link. I have not refunded the first purchase. Nor do I intend to.

        So that's my vote for whatever it's worth.
        That in itself speaks volumes, brother.

        The book is well laid out

        I also have this and recommend it. Adam and company are very supportive in the forum. You will probably pick up a new trick or two just by going there.

    Thanks Terry, it's very exciting for me!

    I'm getting a click through rate a little over 16%, and while my overall average is a little over $2 per click, it seem that most clicks are around $1.50, with a few $3-$4 clicks most days.

    The big thing for me is that I never got numbers like that, and wouldn't have considered that realistic - but then again I was doing adsense all wrong. The blueprint course essentially "re-educated" me. I'm doing things very differently now, and seeing things in a very different light.

      My earnings have been stable since I the beginning of the year, averaging $20-$25 per day on my first dedicated effort from this course. I have two more 'blueprint' sites that I've started, but they are still pretty new and don't have much in the way of rankings yet.

      I expect they'll perform similarly; perhaps a bit better as I was a little more diligent in my research the second time around.

      My feeling is, if you read the ebook, you will have a very good and firm understanding of how to build and rank profitable sites - the rest then is up to you.

      Happy New Year to all!

      I've dedicated one of my projects to this system as I mentioned earlier in the thread and have had great results.

      It's been a few months now since I launched and my site has plateaued at just under $700/mth as I've had some difficulties making the last critical jump from #3 position to #1 for my main target KW however, I've had other things going on and haven't focused all of my attention on obtaining that position.

      I'll be sure to update when I do eventually end up in #1 spot!

      Best of luck!

        I bought the Adsense $100k Blueprint for 3 weeks ago because I really needed to make some money. I am unemployed for the moment.

        The best thing is that Adsense $100k Blueprint doesn't promise you to make 100 or 1000$ tomorrow if you buy it. They make it very clear that you need to do the "hard work" before you can retire and live a luxury life

        I am very excited to make some money with adsense The recommend to use Market Samurai in your keyword research but a much better tool is MicroNicheFinder. I think this tool is the best and in only 30 minutes I've found all my great keywords!

        Also, I have created a review website about this amazing program there you can read what it is and what I think about it.

        Adsense success to everyone of you

        Hey everyone,

        When I last posted on here in the beginning of January my goal was to get my first A$100k site up to #1 position where it would reach maximum earning potential..

        Well, I didn't get to #1 position, but the site remained in #3-4 spots for the last month and a half where it earned just under $700 again.

        Last week I entered an escrow agreement to sell the site for $13,000.

        The funds were released to me earlier today after the 7 day inspection period successfully came to an end and everyone's happy!

        Although the site's earnings and positioning fell slightly short of my initial goals (partly my own fault), these kinds of sites are really solid overall and I think more and more investors are beginning to realize the long term value attached to them, hence my selling price of 20x monthly earnings.

        Good luck to all!

          That's fantastic - I just started digging in to this product and really enjoying what it has to offer.

          My intent is to take what is taught and apply it to some of my low performing sites in order to turn them into bigger income producers with the intent of possibly flipping them in a similar manner such as what you have done.

          $13,000.....that's a lot of cheddar!!! Always good to see someone apply what is taught in a product or course.

          Owen,

          Thanks for the progress update - I'm glad to hear that you still consider this a success, despite not achieving your original goals.

          The great thing about these types of projects is that regardless of whether they meet our expectations in the end, we always learn new tactics that can be applied to future endeavors.

          Perhaps you could tell us a little more about how you were able to stay motivated throughout the entire site build - especially during the beginning stages when there was no traffic or revenue coming in.

          I know that a lot of new internet marketers struggle with this.

          Congrats!

          -Adam

            Hi Elis,

            The forum is $17/mo., but there is a 7-day trial.

            In terms of keyword programs, we go over both free & paid tools, and while we do use Micro Niche Finder a lot, it is absolutely NOT necessary, and everything we talk about can be done with just the free tools. In some cases, they're preferred.

            Fwiw, Market Samurai's keyword research module - the main keyword research tool - is entirely free.

            As for backlinking, we spend a LOT of time going over what, how, where, and why, plus we provide a complete "Action Plan" that walks you day-by-day and week-by-week through building your backlinks.

            I should also mention, EVERYTHING is 100% applicable to any type of business that relies on search traffic i.e. affiliate marketing, opt-in list building, etc.

            I also sent you a PM.

            Michael

              The Adsense $100k Blueprint forum is awesome. When I post a question there is always someone who help me.

              I must also say that the blueprint action plan is very simple to follow. You'll know what to di every day. I like it simple

                Quick Question:

                After reading the Blueprint I am a little confused. Should the main page of the website be a Post or Page. Thanks for your help.

                  We use a very specific structure, for very specific reasons. The main thrust of A100k is to create a keyword phrase group, and get Page 1 rankings for each.

                  Sites are based around the chosen keyword phrase group, which itself is based on a 'primary' target keyword phrase.

                  The 'primary' is the focus of your homepage and domain name, and would be a 'Post'. All the other keyword phrases become the basis for a 'Page'.

                  The reason is so that we can focus all our backlinking efforts on their respective Pages/URLs. The homepage 'acts like' the 'Page' for your primary keyword phrase.

                  There is very good group of discussions about these concepts in the forum as well.

    After reading all the rave reviews in this thread, I went ahead and bought it. I don't know what you folks are raving about. This is the same stuff I have read at least a half-dozen times. I will be damned if I can figure where they come up with the $100K thing from. I didn't see anything in the video that even referenced how they think you can make $100, in a week, month, or even a year.

    I think you folks are crazy. There is nothing new here.

    There must be an awful lot of 'crazy' folks then, as there are hundreds of people who feel this is a great plan for success. On the Blueprint forum, there are more & more people experiencing success with it - many for their first time.

    Something doesn't have to be "new" to be good or effective. Whether it's Adsense, affiliate marketing, etc., the fundamentals of effective keyword research, SEO, and business building are the same. That said, for many people, understanding the true nature of rankings & traffic for instance -are- new. We get many, many comments to the effect of "I finally understand how this all works, and what I was doing wrong."

    The Blueprint provides a very clear and thorough examination of the 'what' and 'why', along with a solid plan of action covering the 'how'. It is a guide to copying a successful business model, without having to learn everything through expensive trial & error. We don't claim to offer a 'Magic Bullet', but rather a tested & optimized plan for creating a 6-figure Adsense business.

        I gave up hoping for a completed v3.1 of the $100K AdSense Blueprint long ago. The forum came bundled with my purchase and was by far the most valuable part of it. Forum has a lot of really good people who were super helpful. But as time passed it became quite obvious that things were falling apart including any hope I would see a real v3.1 which would make the blueprint usable. Anyone who questioned Michael on this or any other issue was completely written off and most of the time bullied by Michael.

        He does not seem to know how to accept criticism shown by his latest "sanitizing" of the forum completely of any questions related to his business. Eventually I had enough and asked to be removed from the mailing list and the forum. Only thing I will miss are the good forum members. But there are plenty of other places to get good info on IM, including WarriorForum. I wish everyone well on Michael's forum and hope that all those waiting for refunds receive them soon.

        Good luck!

    I can't speak to the value of this in absolute terms since I've been so busy the last two weeks I haven't been able to do much more than make a dent in my first site using this plan.

    However, I will say that I'm very impressed with it. I am quite happy with the growth of my adsense earnings now but, knowing you can always do better, I bought this product. I quickly discovered a couple of mistakes I've been making and I have to believe that concentrating on improving those areas will help.

    I've bought several adsense products and many of them were valuable.

    But if you want to know how serious I am about this course, here's a story I'm almost embarrassed to tell. I bought the product on December 29. On January 4, I found an affiliate for the course offering a lifetime membership to the forum as a bonus. So I bought it again through that link. I have not refunded the first purchase. Nor do I intend to.

    So that's my vote for whatever it's worth.

    Hi Simon,

    My first Blueprint site, which is now pretty steady at $20-$25/day, is based around a "keyword phrase group" of 5 keyword phrases. I have a 'target Page' for each (with my homepage as the 'target' for my primary phrase).

    I add 2 posts per week, and have a total of about 34 pages (Pages plus posts).

    That was my first Blueprint effort, so naturally it took longer. My second effort already has about half that, and I only started it a few weeks ago.

    Fwiw, I have 3 Page 1 rankings on my first site. Once the other two hit Page 1, and as all 5 move up on Page 1, I expect the site to reach $40/day. Perhaps the most valuable thing I've gotten from the course is the confidence that I can now find and properly assess 'valuable' keyword phrases, and rank for them consistently.

        I'm pretty confident that theme footprints aren't a concern; any good or popular theme has thousands of installs.

        What I think is going to be a bigger concern going forward is Google's new/renewed emphasis on rooting out 'junk'. Required reading:

        Google's Plan to Combat Search Spam
        Official Google Blog: Google search and search engine spam

        The Blueprint is written to pretty 'white hat' standards, with the goal of long-term sustainability. Our belief & philosophy is that it's no harder to do things 'right'. To date, I have not had a single Blueprint site deindexed or otherwise penalized, nor lose rankings (occassional slight shifting aside). The sites we've built following the Blueprint have stood the test of time, with many being over a year old and still retaining their rankings, traffic, and earnings.

        As with anything else, you 'reap what you sow' - if you make the effort to produce reasonably high quality sites, you won't run into too many problems. If you produce reasonably high quality sites based on the 'right' niche & keyword research, and follow a 'good' ranking plan, you'll end up with good, sustainable positions, traffic, & earnings.

          Thanks for the reply.

          I couldn't agree more about the quality content issue. When I first started in IM - I found myself going down the route of "grey hat." One day I realized - it was a pain the rear to constantly stay ahead of what G might be looking to de-index. From that point on - all I build is quality "white hat" sites.

          Cheers!

            I couldn't agree more - so much so that we posted a "Where We Stand On..." sticky thread on our forum.

            I'm all for automation, efficiency, and time-savings, and will take whatever advantage I can - with two important provisos: Not sacrificing long-term sustainability for short-term gain, and not doing anything overtly dishonest.

          I'm a bit concerned about whether you guide newbies as far as what type of Adsense Ad works best. There seem to be SO many different formats and testing con sometimes be more confusing than enlightening, in MHO. Do you address this?

    I'd just like to join the debate and say I bought the product just after Christmas. I like what it says and how it says it. I think what's also good is that innovations are added as and when at no extra charge and much of the optimisation has been done for you. This weekend I'm about to get my first Adsense site up live. I'll keep you posted as to my progress.

    Thanks Mike, Kev, Jim, and Kim!

    I read a lot of the reviews for other product launches, and I have to say - some of those guys make it easy to look good! A decent product, at a decent price, that makes realistic claims & promises, and delivers decent value - really, how unusual should that be? Yet we hear all of the headaches, heartaches, and frustration with so many products.

    As you can see from the promo video, I tried to key in to that issue exactly. Fwiw, the result is a sky-high converting sales page (note to affiliates...).

    Thanks again for all the positive comments, and for those of you who trusted us enough with your wallet to purchase.

    Just want to say I invested in this course and I've gotta say it's a really cool course if you want to start out making money to Adsense.

    I make money by other means but never delved into the world of Adsense before, and it's really opened my eyes to how profitable it is to own your own Adsense Empire.

    What I like about it is it's a solid long term system to making money. No flash in the pan technique that'll get you banned from Google.

    So if you're willing to put the effort into this and not expect instant results then I recomend it.

    Hope this helps

      Thanks for that James,

      I bolded some of your post since you hit the nail on the head. Any good business model will require a commitment of time & effort, and anyone who says otherwise is probably trying to sell something.

      The rewards of course are long-term, sustainable success.

          Hi Katie,

          The course can be applied to any type of site or blog.

          The core of A100k is about understanding how to choose the 'right' keyword phrases, build pages around them, then how to get them ranked on Page 1.

          While the business model is Adsense, it applies equally well to any business model that uses search engine traffic. Once you understand how to do it, you can choose your keywords and get pages ranked for Adsense, affiliate products, squeeze pages, etc.

            Almost all information is available for free somewhere, in some capacity.

            This course compiles a ton of that information on a specific topic (adsense,) organizes it, cuts out the fluff, gives a specific plan of action to get things working.. as well as a wordpress theme to use which I would have paid for in and of itself. This takes hours of work and trial and error.. and in many ways I've always had *too much* information without a clear plan of what specifically to do.

            I'm very happy with my purchase of this course, which came largely based on what I've read here.

            PS- I am NOT an affiliate!

    After three pages of glowing testimonials about how well the course has been written and how the course makes sense, I only see only 1 person actually testifying to any results with it. Some of us are a bit cynical and would love other "success stories" to contribute.

    I am curious, has anybody actually executed what is in the course? And if so, how are you doing with those sites so far?

      I am curious, has anybody actually executed what is in the course? And if so, how are you doing with those sites so far?
      Let me add my opinion about this course (which I own). I purchased three days ago, I've read/watched everything. If you want to achieve success with Adsense - this the course to do it.

      Here's why;

      Three years ago I was trying to get into IM, I understood all the various pieces, but I couldn't figure out how to string them all together. I eventually found a course from Liz Tomey that showed - soup to nuts - how to build a Wordpress site monetized with Adsense. That video course was fantastic! All of the sudden, I knew how to use FTP and what an .htaccess file is.

      With this knowledge, I wandered off and built my first site. Long story short, the site was optimized with quality - original content, it had on/off page SEO done correctly...it made money. In fact, within 6 months it had achieved PR3 and a sky high CTR and conversion rate. Now - you might notice I keep using the past tense...well...when I built that site I didn't have very much experience, and I made several mistakes. The first mistake was going after low paying keywords - if I remember correctly - when someone clicked on ads...I paid them The other dumb thing I did was take the site down - I wanted to change the monetization - I just didn't know any better.

      I have learned from my mistakes

      The reason for the story above is to give some validity to my review, I now know how to build Adsense sites, and this course is spot on. It teaches exactly what you need to know to work with Adsense. The correct points are taught and emphasized. In my humble opinion - if you do what your taught - you will make money. Also, since this course emphasizes quality/original content, you'll end up with a site that gets better with age and can be built out to something more robust.

      I'd like to touch on how the material is presented. Let me say first, I was an air traffic controller for eight years in the Navy. After I finished drilling holes in the middle of Indian Ocean I went back to college for my degree - I ended up in the dental industry for a million years I was the wax/metal production manager for the largest dental laboratory in the world. My point - I know how to train people! I can take a reasonably intelligent person and within 6 - 9 months have them making between 40-70K as a dental tech. I can do this because I know how to present information, it's a skill that's critical to everything we do in life - it's merely communication.

      So....back to my point of how the material is presented. I have a few minor objections, but I would give the material an 8 out of 10. My biggest objections being the lack of continuity from the PDF to the videos. I would also like to see the addition of a flowchart or "quick start checklist." I have access to the forum, perhaps the "quick start checklist" is in there and I haven't seen it. My points above are minor, and in now way preclude me from giving this course my full recommendation.

      Let me close with the most important aspect of all of this...you have to remain focused and take action! DO NOT allow yourself to be distracted my the next bright shiny object.

      You will succeed!

    Hi Apollo,

    I appreciate the sentiment; I've had the same question reading some other really positive reviews.

    I would guess that many who wrote positive reviews are now working on their sites and probably not revisiting this thread - though I'd bet if those same people felt it didn't work, they'd be back here in a hurry to say so

    I can tell you many people talk about their progress and successes in the forum, and there are a number of people who are blogging about their progress. That said, and this is emphasized in the course, this isn't a 'quick fix' or 'magic bullet'. It is a long-term business model. Some people are applying themselves actively 'full-time', while some taking their time going through the steps. The basis of the revenue is search traffic. It can take from a few weeks to a couple of months to get your pages ranked on Page 1 - the objective of the Blueprint. That said, there are a number of people who have "dived right in" and are already earning good - and steadily growing - revenues after 3-6 weeks.

    If you would like, I'd be happy to set you up with a temporary forum account so you can poke around, ask questions, etc., and invite you to report back your impressions here.

      Michael,

      I'm seriously considering purchasing your product, but as you might imagine have bought before to discover the material was really over-hyped. If your offer is open to me as well, I would really love to visit the forums and make a educated in depth decision.

      Just so you know, I've had my site for almost 3 years, 120+ pages and my Adsense income is next to none. I'm now in the product development stage but will gladly put that on the back burner to dive into Adsense and really get it going with this existing site or start a brand new one. Heck, if I can write (myself - not outsource) over 100 pages, I know I can write 30-60 and get the Adsense ball rolling.

      Let me know,

    Hey guys I'm a newbie at IM and wanted to learn more so I've read here and there in the forums and have come across a few IM packages over here in this forums

    1) 100kblueprint
    2) Bringthefresh
    3) War Forums

    And I have url pinger software & backlinking bot which I'm not really sure what they are used for..

    and I've heard about magic submitter, sick submitter, market samurai, these are some stuff I've never used..

    Right now there's a person who's guiding me bit by by ever since I bought my first autoblog at flippa, she guided me on how to implement the FB app system, ping.fm to publish an article into many different blogging directories when one click, other than that I'll post articles on its specfic forums.

    Can anyone recomend me what I should buy? to further improve my IM skills , Currently I'm interested in autoblogging earning through ad sense but I'm starting to go into affliate marketing/amazons on WP sites and hopefully be able to create other projects in the future but right now. I'm learning a lot of stuff randomly and hope someone can guide me.

    My goal's are to be able to make 500 a month by june this year. Really passionate and determined but don't really know who's the real deal, I have all the nessary knowledge on HTML/PHP related stuff in building a website that I learnt in my high school days, though doing this as a hobby is great, they say the earlier you start, the more experience you will gain in time to come.

    regards,
    Dan

      Bought the course because of a few reviews here ... getting toe into adsense - have avoided it like plague for 2 years due to horror stories here and elsewhere ...

      "My account just got banned and I had $3500 in earnings coming or blah blah blah ..."

      Thought I would see some real evidence in this $100k blueprint about "How To Keep Your Adsense Account" ... Do i have to join hte forum for $17 to get the WHOLE story on that one?

      Ive ssen many a banned Adsense earners sites with 10-25 or even more articles and posts on it ... banned or de indexed ... can we get some real world info on a site you'd consider "quality content" - "value added to the searcher"

      How about a make believe niche with some eza or PLR pak articles layed out like you'd recommend and as THICK in content as you'd recommend to NOT get labeled MFA and shut D ... as an example for buyers of the system. There has to be more to keeping an adsense account out of trouble than what was posted in the book and theres not much of that discussion in the videos ...

      I know how to pick niches - i know how to rank stuff - I know how to do on and off page seo ... what Im looking for is the exact type of content adsense reviewers deem acceptable and just HOW MUCH OF IT they need to see to feel warm and cozy and not get tossed into the MFA pit of death, or de-indexed. that Zone theme and bluesense are screamin MFA x 1 billion on the net - seriously thats not a MFA footprint?

      100 articles / pieces of content isnt scary for a site designed to make $300 a day ... Hell we'll buy it all - write it all - spin it all - whatever x 200 if needed and put it on auto post ever 1-2-3 days and different times on a random schedule

      [ theres a great plugin in by the way for some coder - i think it already exists ... ]

    Thanks for purchasing the course; I appreciate your remarks re: account banning. In fact, I'm going to write up a somewhat more in-depth section for the next update, and will post it in the forum as well.

    I say 'somewhat' for the same reason that section is as it is: Google rarely provides detailed explanations of why they ban an account - Adsense, Adwords, etc.

    That section is based on two perspectives. First, I collected all the info I could from people who had their accounts banned. Second, I went through everything I could find published either by Google, or on their Adsense blogs.

    What I came away with was pretty much what I started with. While there are almost certainly some sophisticated filters that are intended to ferret out 'unworthy' sites, for the most part it simply boils down to 'following the rules'.

    Of course, that leaves a lot of room for broad interpretation, and what I get from your post is, it would be great to have a better sense of what could be interpreted as 'unworthy'. I would have liked to be able to draw some stronger conclusions from the data, but unfortunately there were many contradictions - sites that seemed to be entirely within bounds that were banned. One problem is that when an account gets banned, it could be not only for an individual site out of many 'good' ones, but can also be simply someone Google 'connects' to a banned account.

    That said, having looked long & hard at this, my feeling is that having some depth in terms of number of pages, and length in terms of article/post/page content are the surest ways to stay 'safe' - providing of course that the basic 'rules' are adhered to.

    What I do to 'test' is consider, what impression would a manual reviewer come away with?

    If I had to distill it into a formula, I would say:

    Minimum of 5 pages of 500+ word original, related content;
    Minimum of 5 pages of additional content;
    Appropriate policy adherence i.e. privacy policy, contact info, etc.
    Avoid 'pitch' or 'promise' niches i.e. miracle products, miracle cures, instant success methods/products;
    Avoid 'content stuffing' meaning multiple pages of too-similar content;
    Avoid 'keyword stuffing' meaning obvious over-optimization of keywords;

    Thanks for that post!

        Please accept my apologies, it's entirely possible one fell through the cracks.

        However, the forum was opened about 5 weeks after launch. There is now an option on the purchase page, and we tried to notify all prior customers.

        If you'll PM me, I'll get you set up with a gratis forum account.

        FYI: The forum now has almost 500 active members; 3500 posts in more than 500 topic threads; at least 3 active 'follow-me' progress threads; success stories; Q&A covering every imaginable aspect of the Blueprint including keyword research, site structure, backlinks & ranking; helpful tools; free software & content; and expert site reviews.

    I'm trying to go with my gut feelings on purchasing this. I feel a bit conflicted.

    One of my concerns is how many hours a week does this require? and is the forum an "upsell" - that I will need to be successful with "the blueprint?"

      Hi internetsweetie,

      First let me say there are no upsells, downsells, sidesells, pop-ups, pop-downs, or anything else of the sort. The product is a single purchase, and comes complete with the ebook, 10 how-to videos, themes, and some valuable extras. You don't need to spend another penny, other than hosting & domain name, in order to follow the entire Blueprint.

      As a separate product, we have a members-only paid forum ($17/mo), for which you can get a 7-day trial with purchase of the course. The forum is a terrific resource where you can ask questions, interact with others doing the same thing, plus there's a ton of extra resources, etc. However, you do not need the forum to follow the Blueprint at all.

      As for the time, it's largely up to you. This is NOT a 'get rich quick' scheme though, and you must be willing to put in some time and effort if you want to get results. How much time & effort is up to you; the more you apply yourself, the more - and faster - you will see results.

      That said, you can implement the entire Blueprint with just an hour or two per day, providing you aren't entirely new to Wordpress, or using things like a keyword tool, etc. Once the initial work to create your site is done, we provide an "Action Plan" to follow in order to get your pages to Page 1 rankings. For that, you can again expect an hour or so per day in linkbuilding, plus whatever it would take you to either write or outsource a couple of posts & articles per week.

      You won't get to $100k on an hour per day. However you can expect to create a site that earns $25/day. And once you have your first Blueprint site, it requires very little ongoing maintenance, at which point you can build your next one.

      If your goal was to reach a 6-figure income, you should expect to put in anywhere from 10-25 hours per week.

      Hope that helps~

          Hi Jamie,

          The target for a Blueprint site is appx. $25/day. While you could of course have 6 such sites totaling appx. $5000/mo., and that wouldn't be pushing it with a 30 hr/wk. effort, it's simpler than that.

          The Blueprint advocates keeping half your sites, and selling half. In fact, there's an entire chapter on flipping, including a sample listing you can use.

          These type of Adsense sites are easily the most desirable on Flippa, and routinely get 10-15 times monthly earnings or better. In fact, we sell these regularly, and have seen up to 22 times monthly earnings for sites with this type of consistent earnings and a little age.

          A $25/day site nets $750/mo. That's an easy flip for $7500-$10,000.

          If you were to create just 1 site per week - not terribly difficult - once they reached their target of $25/day (realistically from 6-12 weeks), you could easily exceed your $5000/mo. goal, and I have to say if you were to really apply yourself @ 30 hrs/week, you could realistically expect far better results.

          One thing to keep in mind is the 'lag time'. From the first site - which also always takes longer - each site has to go through it's rank-building, so there would be a 'stagger' of 1-3 months before your revenues caught up and were consistent.

          Here's what it comes down to. The Blueprint provides a step-by-step plan for duplicating a successful Adsense business. To the degree you follow it, you will get predictable results. The level of time & commitment you apply will determine how much, and how quickly you earn.

          Hope that helps~

              As the sales page says, yes, you can. We do it. And the Blueprint shows you exactly how we do it, and how to exactly duplicate everything we do. Are you likely to get that "out of the gate"? No, nor do we claim you will.

              If you do everything exactly right, you can - we do, and show multiple examples. Generally, it takes some time for most people to digest, understand, and implement everything 'perfectly'. As such we initially work towards a target that is much more accessible for most people.

              This is not a 'push-button' solution. It takes time to understand and master, even with step-by-step directions. It took us over a year to perfect our particular methods and procedures. We save you the time of having to try and figure it out on your own. But you won't pick up a 110 page book, digest it, and perfectly execute instantly.

The product is a single purchase, and comes complete with the ebook, 10 how-to videos, themes, and some valuable extras. You don't need to spend another penny, other than hosting & domain name, in order to follow the entire Blueprint.

        As a separate product, we have a members-only paid forum ($17/mo), for which you can get a 7-day trial with purchase of the course. The forum is a terrific resource where you can ask questions, interact with others doing the same thing, plus there's a ton of extra resources, etc. However, you do not need the forum to follow the Blueprint at all.

        As for the time, it's largely up to you. This is NOT a 'get rich quick' scheme though, and you must be willing to put in some time and effort if you want to get results. How much time & effort is up to you; the more you apply yourself, the more - and faster - you will see results.

        That said, you can implement the entire Blueprint with just an hour or two per day, providing you aren't entirely new to Wordpress, or using things like a keyword tool, etc. Once the initial work to create your site is done, we provide an "Action Plan" to follow in order to get your pages to Page 1 rankings. For that, you can again expect an hour or so per day in linkbuilding, plus whatever it would take you to either write or outsource a couple of posts & articles per week.

        You won't get to $100k on an hour per day. However you can expect to create a site that earns $25/day. And once you have your first Blueprint site, it requires very little ongoing maintenance, at which point you can build your next one.

        If your goal was to reach a 6-figure income, you should expect to put in anywhere from 10-25 hours per week.

        Hope that helps~

        Michael
        You mention Wordpress, does it work with Xsite Pro as well?

          Hi Kleo,

          We focus on Wordpress for various reasons, however everything would apply equally well to Xsitepro, providing you're reasonably competent with it. I'm an Xsitepro user, and many of the sites were originally developed with it.

    Hi Michael
    I bought your course and found it to be very solid. I would definitely recommend it - especially at the price it is being offered. I have several adsense blogs that are doing "OK". I have started my first A100K blog. I will keep everyone updated on my results.
    Michael, I do have a few specific questions that I would like to ask but I don't want to give away anything in the forum. I don't have enough post to pm you. How can I get in touch with you?

      I have just completed reading the book.

      To be honest, I think the author still thinks it is 2005.

      I am also surprised by people saying that it is a well written course. After reading it, I doubt if the author has really ever created a successful website within the past 3 years using his methods.

      The impression I have is that he has read on quite a few Adsense courses and put what he has learnt together in an ebook.

      His approach WILL NOT get you rankings for competitive terms. He forgets to mention so many important elemenst like themes, LSI etc.

      I think many people who have given rave reviews for the ebook have probably never built a website before and have probably never read an SEO or Adsense course before this one.

      I mam shocked and disappointed at how easily impressed WF reviewers have become. I guess it is no surprise why the only success story I see in their forum is from the SAME GUY who has been posting his successes on this Warriors forum. I did not see anybody else bragging about any success using the Adsense 100K blueprint. Not surprising at all after reading their blueprint.

        Not true. I have found one of his websites sold on flippa for $30K in the late 2009. And then after 6 months some other guy have sold $40K adsense website in the same niche.

        While i may not agree with the SEO methods and template that they advocate to use, overall i like the product.

          Was it an Adsense Website? How old was the site? How many has he created since or before succesfully? How do you know it truly is his site? If so, did they survive the last Google update?

          The thing is, somebody may have gotten lucky ONCE. Then they start calling that one time event a system. Then they start selling that system to gullibles and newbies who just can never attain that one time lucky event.

          If the dude in 2011 really still builds $25/day sites the way he teaches, then I will eat my hat.

        Check your facts, you have no idea what you're talking about.

        My "approach" works exactly as advertised, gets you rankings, and does so repeatedly. I have done this over and over and over. As have plenty of people doing the same thing.

        "Never built a website?" I don't know what your problem or agenda is, but everything I have done, written, or claimed is easily verifiable, and if you even bothered to look, you'd see success after success shown in the sales video, actual Flippa auctions, live Escrow.com account login, with real, live examples - URL's and all - published in the book.

        As in Adsense sites sold for $32,000, $21,000, $50,000, $16,000, etc., etc. and Adsense sites getting $100-$400/day, verifiable.

        "Gotten lucky"? I don't even know how to respond to that. Yes, I've gotten lucky. Every month for years running.

        "Was it an Adsense Website? How old was the site? How many has he created since or before succesfully? How do you know it truly is his site? If so, did they survive the last Google update?"

        Are you suggesting I'm lying? I thought you read the book? Or did you buy it and refund it a day later? One thing I can say with certainty is that you're criticizing something you haven't done - if you actually tried it, you'd have had the same success that I have.

        You're telling me I'm stuck in 2005 by citing LSI? I'll just leave it at that...

      Hi mygold,

      "Adsense $100k Blueprint" is a course. It consists of a 110+ page PDF, 10 'how-to' videos, two custom Wordpress themes, some plugins, an Action Tracking Sheet', and another ebook, "The Ultimate IM Toolchest" which is a compendium of hundreds of free IM resources.

      The course goes over our methods & strategies for creating a 6-figure Adsense business, including a step-by-step guide to copy our business.

      The course is $47.

      Separately, there is a members-only paid forum ($17/month). The forum is not necessary to build your Adsense business - everything necessary is included with the $47 product. The forum provides a place where you can get direct support, ask questions, interact with others doing the same thing - including at least 4 active 'follow me' threads - plus a host of extra resources, freebies & downloads, etc. We currently have over 500 members and thousands of posts. You get a 7-day trial for the forum when you buy the product.

    I'll send you a pm, could you do a review on that site? would really like to be convinced that adsense really work and how to achieve it cause I dont see why people want to click on ad's.. I just got interested in IM start of this year but don't really know if it will work for me. Your course might just be the one that I've been looking for.

      I know of a few people who have lost their adsense accounts due to autoblogs. If I were you, I would consider myself lucky that it is just that your earnings dropped.

      Get some genuine content and create a real website.
      Next time you see a website or any business being sold for 2 months of its monthly earnings, do not buy and RUN AWAY FAST!

    Are any of your members having success using static html websites with their adsense? I'm asking because I see you offer WP-Themes with the product. Do you favor blogs over standard websites?

    I prefer static websites instead of blogs and even though I have enjoyed good success with adsense I'm always interested in learning some new ideas.

    Thank you for the very detailed reply. I really appreciate that and it does help clarify some aspects of the information your course provides. For some reason I've never really got into blogs as a serious medium.

    I use them but honestly I employ them more for backlinks and entry ways to my main sites. You might cause me to change my mind and re-evaluate them based on your teachings.

    You've come a long way since those early days - I'm thrilled for your success and appreciate your generous offer!!

      Hi Tim- one of the things that was very, if not the most valuable for me (I say this only because I was familiar with some of the core concepts already) was the visual layouts and structure provided in their examples.

      The ads are incorporated in a way that while they are not using any illegal techniques such as hiding the 'ads by google' text, they blend well into the navigation and are viewed as part of the content rather than these unnatural blocks of text that most of our eyes have been trained to ignore on sites.

      I think you could incorporate that concept on static pages for sure. one of the main benefits to wordpress in this specific case would be the fact that they give you a few wordpres templates to use.

      Also, the way to select keywords for these specific type of sites and making sure the topic itself will actually have relevant adsense ads for it (i incorrectly assumed most things would).

      I had a bunch of articles written on a topic a long time ago that I never did anything with or knew what to do, but they make sense for this blueprint so I'm giving it a shot (though the keyword is not ideal for the #s, the fact that I already have all this content written and an EMD domain is a good start.)

      Also a question for Mike- I may have missed this in the guide, but using your wp themes where I simply enter my adsense ID, how do we take advantage of the tracking features in adsense?

      Thanks

      That's bizarre...

      Don't know what I might have said to have them pulled. I'll try a very generic replies, hopefully it'll stick.

      Regarding using static HTML versus Wordpress:

      The tactics in the course would be the same on Wordpress or straight HTML. The main reason we use Wordpress is that it's easier to insure repeatability and consistency. There are some people in the forum who are using Xsitepro.

      Regarding Adsense tracking:

      Tracking Adsense is done from within Adsense. We include a video on how to set up "URL Channels" to track your sites.

    This may have been said, but can this work with AMAZON associate as well? Also, why flip the site if it's bringing in good money? I don't get it. If it's making you $10k a year, keep it, no? Why cash out and let the buyer have the long term $? I don't get it. If i had 10 sites making $10k each annually, i'd be golden.

      I can't speak for Owen, but I can tell you that we recommend keeping half the sites and selling half. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is the "bird in hand" notion.

      While there is no reason to think a site won't continue performing, there are a whole host of things that could occur. That said, it's worth noting that the reasons these sites routinely get such a high multiple is that they're considered a relatively safe and hands-free investment.

      As for Amazon, everything in the Blueprint works equally well for affiliate marketing.

      Hey goldmedal,

      Good question. Simply put, I don't like turning down good deals when they come along.

      I have other projects and goals on the go which means realistically this site probably would have ended up neglected on my back burner and never seen it's full potential.

      Instead, I've sold the website to a great guy who's motivated to carry on the torch, allowing me to focus on other projects...he's happy, I'm happy, it's a win win.

      Cheers!

      Nothing black hat; in fact we advocate avoiding anything dicey at all. You certainly don't need to 'cheat' to make a lot of money with Adsense - in fact, doing it 'right' is the only way to insure long-term success.

      This is meant for building a serious, long-term business, not a "quick & easy" dollar grab, and as you point out, this entails some 'real work', patience, and avoiding the 'get rich quick' mindset.

      It doesn't seem to matter how good a product is you'll always have some naysayers. I'm new to all this and for myself who has been struggling to get something positive going online for far too long, this is a game changer. I especially like the fact that it deals with WP Blogs and not static sites. I tried my hand a static site building and almost ended up hanging myself from the frustration.

      This a step by step plan that even the newest of newbies can follow and with a little effort make work. If I had more than two thumbs I would give it ALL THUMBS UP! There is nothing more to buy! Everything you need to get started is there except for Domain-name and Hosting. For the price they give you the key's to the kingdom.

    I had attempted this IM thing acouple times in the past with just mild success.

    I felt like i was missing some steps or not quite "getting it".

    Well since this time I have read the manual again like 5 times- the last time i took notes in a note book in an attempt for it to sink in.

    Finally, a light bulb has gone on in my head and I "get it".

    This program is a comprehensive / exhaustive method for making some serious money with adsense.

    I am now ready to pursue my dreams for online marketing and feel a great deal of confidence now that the process has truly been cemented in my mind. I think i finally understand how the process works and the right way to do this.

    For this I am thankful and now I have a concrete plan to follow and yes it will require a lot of work but I am now ready to tackle this- and the nice thing is I now know that my hard work will not be hit or miss- it will hit and stick this time.

    Now I head to work putting this into action. I will report my progress.

    Thanks for the great program

    Ok - after all the positive feedback I couldn't resist anymore and jumped in, too. The only problem is that I can't download everything within the next 3 hours. So I just opened a support ticket and hope that it's answered too.

      Hi Almut,

      I did see one such ticket; we've re-set & re-sent the d/l link. I'm assuming that was you - feel free to PM me if not.

        Thanks a lot for this fast support. I got the chance to download the EBook now. Hopefully I'll have the time to read it on weekend.

    I'm very interested in this program - and the Adsense model in general. It seems that with ANY site, whether it's an Adsense site or an affiliate site, you should still do the basic SEO to get it to rank high, but in the affiliate case it seems you have to "work harder" to get a sale as opposed to someone just clicking on a link. That has always appealed to me as an easier sale, and although I get less money per action, I might be able to earn as much or more than an affiliate site.

    Another thing that is VERY appealing is the fact that when flipping a site, people seem to be less inclined to buy an established affiliate site, but will snap up Adsense sites left and right. And if I can get an Adsense site to $25/day - $750/mo - then I could probably flip that for $10-15K and possibly more. For me and I'm sure a lot of people, I will take the cash now on some sites as a much needed cash flow injection and then continue to build more sites.

    I think the naysayers in this thread have their own agenda, and I think I've heard enough good things to say that it would be worth buying this product. But I heard Fatcat Blueprint mentioned and checked out the site and it also looks pretty good. In a way, maybe too good. I hate outrageous income claims. But it sells.

    Does anyone have both programs, and if so which one would you suggest?

      Hi Razz,

      I wholeheartedly recommend A100k!

      I've heard good things about Fatcat Blueprint, and have been meaning to pick up a copy. I too would be interested to hear from anyone who has both.

      I completely agree with your feelings about 'working harder' for affiliate sales, not to mention swallowing returns, etc. That said, much of the course focuses on keyword research and ranking, and applies equally well to any business model that works on search traffic.

      As for flipping, you are absolutely right. Adsense sites get snatched up almost immediately, and at fantastic multiples - providing of course they're reasonably decent sites otherwise and can show some revenues.

      Within the course, the strategy we advocate is to keep half your sites and flip half; this gives you the 'best of all worlds' with ongoing revenue, plus those really nice 'bird in hand' lump sum 'cash-outs'. In fact, we've included a full auction listing for you to copy & use, essentially the listing I've created for my sites and used very successfully many, many times.

        Sounds like another Google alogrithm jarring is on its way; have you or are you ready to deal with its implications? Changes are to be to sites that are made and primarily created to generate Adsense revenue.

        http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/...-sites-in.html

        How are you/we going to deal with these issues and is this still viable without producing a larger type authority site rather than 10 or 25 page sites-which is the basic inference made?

        "This update is designed to reduce rankings for
        low-quality sites--sites which are low-value add
        for users, copy content from other websites or
        sites that are just not very useful. At the same
        time, it will provide better rankings for
        high-quality sites--sites with original content
        and information such as research, in-depth
        reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

        Are we not producing similar "Content Farms"?

        How much do you guess it will effect us?

        Yes I know about the original content and all that but that may not be the end of it and there very well may be problems ranking the way it used to be done, as in present day.

        Thoughts?

        Thanks for your time!

          Great questions - as you might imagine, this is something we spend a lot of time thinking about and considering.

          Most important is understanding the specific changes Google has, and continues to make. Fortunately, they're pretty 'open' about what they're doing, and there is a lot of good information available, directly from Google, and from other expert sources.

          Generally speaking, the changes are mostly extensions of what Google has been doing with many of the recent updates - trying to define 'lowest common denominators' in order to target "low value" websites. These are the usual suspects: copied, scraped, or otherwise unoriginal content, 'thin' sites with little content, etc.

          Additionally, those 'lowest common denominators' for rank manipulation such as paid links, which have led to some of those recent high-profile cases such as JC Penney.

          Fortunately, from a macro perspective, it all amounts to this: reasonably 'good' sites - those with decent original content, that follow the rules, and have reasonable link diversity - will always be ok. What is the difference between a 'good' site developed with the intention of generating revenue, and a 'good' site developed out of interest, passion, etc.?

          Early on, I made the decision with A100k to focus on long-term, sustainable results. As such, everything taught and advocated within the course promotes building 'good' sites.

          We have a couple dozen test sites that we use not only to test and validate what we put in the course, but to try and understand the particulars of these changes beyond what is published. So far, everything bears out our initial assumptions - that the A100k course, if followed, will result in 'good' sites that will do well over the long-term.

          One other aspect is our forum. With almost 600 active members, we're able to get a really good and wide perspective, both on what is working, and when someone runs into problems, what are the particulars that created the problem.

            Excellent, thanks!

            Wanted to crack that Google nut as I knew it was going to come up here, and for plans like this, eventually.

            I am contemplating your course and have been on this thread for a long time now but want to make sure it is the best of the shiny objects circling about.

            The income results are not quite as advertised per day but if one could get to about $700 month, within maybe about 4-5 months?? just from Adsense than that would be an excellent, almost auto-pilot income after the hard work is put in.

            I am/was looking at promoting CPA offers without a major website and YouTube Marketing etc but this may be easier to just focus on one thing, one plan, get it all going well with unique, quality content-monetize it somehow and then move onto another similar well paying keyword project every 2-3 months or so. Sound logical or are other approaches better than this longer run version?

            I think with a site that forwards actual solutions to people's needs and with some good Adsense ads and maybe an affilate product or two lingering to the side, it will/should work well long term and produce good revenue and provide viable info/answers to the patron and for Google.

            Thanks again, I also suspected that you would make sure the forum was actively assessing these changes as well.

            Any other updates from the gang would be appreciated! PM me with some of your stories about this plan if able, appreciated!

            D.

    I don't have any knowledge about that program. It may have some potential. Have you done some research on it in Google to find out more about it, such as reading user rated reviews and that good stuff about it?

    Hi guys- just wanted to give an update on my progress-

    Actually, I am thinking of starting a thread to document my progress, and keep on track....any maybe others can join in?

    Anyway today i sat down and made my first adsense site with this method- I have been working for about the last 10 hours or so with a couple breaks in between.

    I did my keyword research, got a domain and set up the main pages of my site. I think this process will now become quicker now that i have actually done it.

    I am actually pretty proud of what I have been able to create. Kind of tired now so I think that will be all for today- hopefully my site will be indexed soon.

    I will then continue on to the next part of the project, and begin building some backlinks over the next week as per the plan.

    Over and out

    Hi Chris,

    My husband was unexpectedly - and very abruptly - layed off a few weeks ago. Fortunately I hadn't been sitting on my hands

    Mike (the author of the course) helped me sell the first site I had built. It averaged around $25 per day, and I was able to get $9000 for it on a -very- quick sale. Since then I've stepped up my efforts as I don't know how long my husband will be out of work, and we really need the income.

    Between all my sites, I clear about $90-$100 per day, but some of those are 'other' sites that I'd had for a long time. I'm earning roughly $50 per day from 3 Blueprint sites, but one of them is pretty new. I have 3 more that I've begun since the beginning of February, and are just now finished, launched, and indexed.

    One of the things I've learned between the ebook and the forum is to do better keyword research. I now 'get' the whole ranking concept, so I believe it's just a matter of choosing good keyword phrase groups to build my sites around.

    With my husband out of work, I'm going to be putting in more of a full-time effort (while he gets to play "Mr. Mom" lol!). If I hadn't had that site I was able to sell, we would have been in dire financial straights by now. Though I'm very anxious about the future - my husband works in a field that it won't be easy to for him to get a new job at the salary he was making before - I don't feel hopeless, and have some confidence that I can continue to boost my overall income.

      How long would it normally take to put up these sites - you have completed 3 basic sites in February? How many hours of dedicated work did that take to pull off?

      How long does it generally take to make it to say $15/day, assuming the keywords and market would produce that.

      Is there a way to properly outsource most of this, after doing one or two sites to know the plan?

      Thanks for your time!

      Kim what do u use personally for kw/niche research...seeing as you are successful with this. How many pages do you make your site? Or at least - how many new articles do you throw on? Do u do a lot of backlinking? edu/gov, social networking, blog forums......

        I'm quite interested in the $100K ARB.

        Can anyone tell me, bar the initial cost of the course, what other expenses will I have?

        I've seen a recommended theme referred to. What does it cost? Is it's use optional?

        Site promotion - is paid for backlinking considered essential to the blueprint?

        I'd just like some indication of what it might cost to get a few sites up and running?

          Hi Kyle,

          The course is $47, complete. There are no upsells, downsells, cross-sells, OTO's, pop-ups, pop-downs, pop-unders, or exit-pops.

          Included is the main ebook (a 115 page PDF), 2 custom themes, 10 'how-to' tutorial videos, a folder of plugins, an "Action Tracking" sheet, plus an 'extra' bonus, "The Ultimate IM Toolchest", my $37 ebook with links to hundreds of free IM resources.

          Separately, we have a members-only forum. The forum is $17/mo, however you can get a 7-day trial with purchase of the main product. While the forum has become a terrific and very active resource, it isn't at all necessary in order to follow the Blueprint.

          Beyond the product itself, you should expect to spend $7-$10 for a domain name, and hosting if you don't already have it.

          There are no other costs or expenses.

          Paid backlinking is definitely not considered essential. The "Action Plan" we provide - and in fact every function including keyword research - is layed out using all free tools. We do have a 'Resources' section that talks about additional paid and free tools & resources, however none of them are required. In many cases, we actually suggest 'free' over 'paid' methods.

          That said, someone could buy tools, pay for backlinking, outsource content, etc. But none of that is necessary. We advocate doing everything yourself initially anyway, as you'll have a far better understanding of how it all works and fits together, and a much stronger foundation should you want to scale up and/or outsource.

          The course was created very intentionally so that someone could pick it up and not need to buy anything further beyond domains in order to have substantial success.

            Yes, I know I am a nobody here and I haven't contributed to the forum as I should be but I need to jump in here. I'll say this; A100k was absolutely eye-opening for me.

            I purchased it last night and sat up to 2:30 am reading the whole ebook and highlighting key points.

            Over the years I've bought course after course hoping for overnight or overweek riches. Finally, I have wizened up to scams and B.S. from so called IMers. I am not stupid when it comes to SEO and other areas as I have many sites ranked very well, but I will say that I have been stupid in generating myself some real money.

            I have still yet to pay my electric and gas bills with IM (obviously I'm doing something wrong) but I know this will someday soon change. I have found great information here at WF and this product definitely gets two thumbs up from me.

            Regards and thank you ethical warriors. May the force be us all.

            Mike.

Though I'm very anxious about the future - my husband works in a field that it won't be easy to for him to get a new job at the salary he was making before - I don't feel hopeless, and have some confidence that I can continue to boost my overall income.

        Hi Michael,
        I asked this over at the BTF forum but you are probably busy with your own forum:

        "The pdf says to look for 2400 exact searches a month. Yet the screen shot of Micro Niche Finder (pg 33) shows a broad search and some of the (apparently) chosen keywords to be decidedly less in volume of searches. Clarification? As well, MNF shows Phlebotomy Certification (mentioned in the blueprint) as being very hard (red-6280!) to rank for."

        Buddy
        PS Also were you saying that each of your money keywords should be 2400/month? As I mentioned above it looked like some that you were going to use had search volumes in the hundreds.

                  That's the way I feel vemma bear - I think I finally understand how to make myt pages rank - for my keywords - and why I had trouble in the past. I really had come to the conclusion that there was no rhyme or reason to Google's ranking. Everything I'd read anywhere else just didn't seem to pan out. Now it makes sense.

                  On the webinar last week, they said they were releasing a course about traffic. Does anyone know if it's available yet, and if so where I can find it? Also, is it a different course or the same one, and will it be free or discounted for those of us that bought the Adsense course?

            I've just finished my first read through the blueprint.

            There is a lot of info there.

            It really is a "blueprint!" - A very do-able, step by step process - which I'm looking forward to implementing within the next few days.

            Will you please pm me the same info as the other chaps requested earlier in the thread?

            Many thanks,

      Hi jimotman,

      Your initial site will launch with 5-10 pages of content. This consists of the homepage, plus another 'page' for each keyword phrase that is targeted.

      Once the site is up & indexed, the 'rank building' begins. For the plan we outline, you can expect to add at least 2 new posts per week. Once you have your Page 1 rankings, then you can add few new posts.

      Also, as part of your 'rank building', you will be adding content to Web 2.0 sites and article directories however this can be spun content.

      In all cases the content can be outsourced if you so choose.

      No. The course is a business model for building and ranking sites targeting 'secondary' search phrases within bigger niches; keywords with moderate volume and moderate competition.

      We do not advocate targeting super-high competition keywords as part of this business model.

      Let me help you decide: buy this one.

      Actually, while I haven't picked it up yet, I've heard good things about FCB and plan to pick it up to see how it compares. A100k is by no means the 'only game in town' as far as good Adsense business models go.

      They're both Clickbank products, so an easy way to decide is buy both, and refund whichever doesn't fit your goals. Either way, my advice would be to stick with one strategy.

      I know you answer something like this above, but I'm kinda curious as to how you would get traffic here.
      As you might imagine, this is something we've been looking at very intensely.

      First let me say that we have a number of 'test sites' - over 20 - that we use to test things like Google changes, the Blueprint plans, etc. In addition, we have dozens of our own Blueprint sites, plus the benefit of the members forum with hundreds of people building Blueprint sites. To date, we have not seen any adverse affect on any sites that have been built & promoted that followed the Blueprint diligently.

      What we're coming to realize is the increased importance of 'link diversity' - something we specify in the Blueprint. Even before the 'Farmer' update, we advocated multiple sources for backlinks including Web 2.0 sites, article marketing, Social Bookmarking sites, and others - in fact, this is part of the 'Action Plan' we provide.

      Some of the key take-away's that I've been able to discern from this update are in many respects, just extensions of where things have been going for some time:

      Build sites around themes, not individual keywords
      Original, quality content on your main sites
      Avoid creating 'thin' sites - either too little content, low-grade content, non-original content
      Strive for link diversity
      Maintain 'link velocity' in your link building

      If you follow these guidelines, you are essentially building quality authority sites, and building your ranking through ongoing, diverse backlinks.

      One big takeaway is the importance of 'link relevance' - having anchor text links that jive with the content (as opposed to having unrelated resource box links in your articles for instance).

      By syndicating your content through blog networks and services like Unique Article Wizard, you can insure content- and link-relevance. Ditto for using Web 2.0 sites.

      I'm in the process of writing an in-depth analysis and 'response' addressing the update which will be posted in the forum and emailed to all customers next week.

      The bottom line: doing things "right" and avoiding 'auto-magic-instant-anything' is more important than ever, and that is the foundation of the Blueprint.

        Thats not true at all. I've done heavy testing into this and can verify with absolute confidence that link relevance is NOT a big factor. It probably has *some* small effect, but it is simply not that important. As part of my testing, I ranked a huge medical keyword into the first page in 2 months using links EXCLUSIVELY from 2.0s that contain articles on Internet Marketing ONLY.

          Thanks for posting that, but you may have mis-understood me. What I mentioned above is in relation to the recent updates, particularly the new 'Farmer' update.

          What's significant about Link Relevance is that it didn't used to be a big factor, but will be a bigger factor going forward.

            Are content publishers/marketers seriously supposed to wait for 6 months to get an Adsense account if we have none already and are using a new domain as well?

            Really!?

            That seems a ridiculous amount of time to wait after going through the process of building a site and then forced to wait about 6 months to get into Google Adsense and start making money.

            Using Blogger and Hubpages for this is nonsense as well; we need a real site to make coin with, not a Blogger site etc.

            Seriously disappointed if true....

              I don't know how you could have meaningful testing results for something like that in a week.

              There are plenty of indicators, including remarks by Cutts and Singhal suggesting it IS a significant factor.

                By that logic, my sites that have been built on solely non relevant backlinks would've dropped which they haven't. The same could be said about your "testing" that indicates relevant backlinks are important going forward. I don't believe you have done any significant testing in that area yet like you claim. Also, I LOL@Cutts. That guy is a good source of information about on page SEO, but his offpage "advice" is total BS. When I stopped listening to his "advice" I started ranking faster and more consistently.

    For anyone that is on the fence about buying this, I give it a 5 star rating (5/5) without hesitation.

    Everything is laid out for you in step by step format. There were a few things that I wasn't totally clear on, but after watching the videos I was good to go. The thing that impressed me most about this is that the philosophy behind what they are doing and how they do it I'm 100% on board with. You'll find other Adsense products promoting micro-niche sites, but do you really have the time and energy to make hundreds, maybe 1000+ of them in order to get to the revenue level that you want? I know I don't. Sure it takes some work to uncover the keyword phrases that have good/moderate search volume but with a competition level that is beatable. But when you find them - and you WILL if you just keep looking! - then this business model is GOLD!

    Throw in their action plan to make sure that your site builds up consistently over time and backlinks aren't built too quickly and this almost guarantees a first page ranking if you did everything else right.

    I've started to become an Adsense Niche Hunter now. I already have 5 sets of keywords that I will eventually build sites around. For now I'm focusing on my best one, then in the next week or two working on my second one. Once I'm in maintenance mode on those I'll be working on the others. I'm sure by then though I'll have 5 or 10 more niches ready to go. I can really see that eventually the bulk of my work will be finding the niche/keywords that fit the model, then getting the domain/site set up and the theme/plugins loaded. I can set up a site in 15 minutes. Then I'll outsource the content creation and the SEO work based on their action plan and start working on the next ones. By working this way, I have no doubt that this can be a $10-20K per month business sometime this year.

      I've got both and both are very good.
      They are quite different in approach. xfactor's talks about creating far fewer Authority sites whereas 100K blueprint talks about setting up many sites based around sets of keywords.

      At the end of the day both will make you money if you follow all of the advice and take action. And is said many times - there is no silver bullet. You need to work, work, work for success, whichever route you take!!!

      Hi Matt,

      If you read through this thread, you'll find a number of people reporting significant success. On the private members forum, there are also a number of people reporting success, various success stories, and a number of ongoing 'follow me' diary threads.

      Almost everyone who follows the Blueprint diligently sees the same results. A lot of thought and effort was put into making sure it's a repeatable process. Realizing that this isn't a 'Magic Bullet' get-rich-quick scheme, and requires a commitment of time and effort, anyone who puts in that time & effort will have success.

      As for the 'Farmer' update, I can tell you that none of our own Blueprint sites - over 20 - have seen a drop, plus we have the benefit of hearing from hundreds of forum members as to what they're seeing. Everything in the course jives perfectly with the update.

      I posted a sticky in the A100k forum discussing the update; some of it is summarized in a Warrior post, with a link to a longer post: http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...er-update.html

      Lastly, A100k is a Clickbank product, with a 60-day no-questions-asked guarantee, and we approve any refund requests right away.

      Michael

      PS - If you're still on the fence, I'd be happy to set you up with a temporary forum account where you could poke around, see what others have to say, ask questions, etc. If you'd like to take me up on that, just shoot me a PM.

          Thanks.
          Sorry M.A.D., somehow missed that one.

          Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away.... used to be you had your Adsense application reviewed - and usually approved - in days, weeks at most.

          I think around the beginning of 2010, Google changed what was seemingly 'blanket' approval of most applications, making it more 'difficult' to get. While I certainly understand their rationale, but that's neither here nor there.

          Through the experience of a zillion people applying, it's become evident that when using your own site to apply, the older it is, the more likely you are to be approved.

          Keep in mind, getting approved for Adsense is entirely up to Google, and they'll do it however they choose to do it. Whether it's efficient, smart, of just a great big PIA, it is what it is.

          Using your own sites, there's no "6 month rule" except in certain countries (China and India for instance). However, it is often suggested since Google cites that for some applicants.

          Using Blogger or Hubpages to apply doesn't mean you're limited to using those platforms only. Once you've been approved, you can use your Adsense account on any compliant site.

          Since many people applying for Adsense don't have a site yet, we've found it to be a quicker and easier way to go.

          Here's the actual eligibility criteria:

          https://www.google.com/support/adsen...py?answer=9724

          Again, it is what it is. Once you have your account, you're good to go. Getting approved may be quick & easy, or it may take some time. The best we can do is try and make it as likely as we can to get approved.

    I guess I will just have to start making the sites and hope for the best. Can not wait 5- 6 months to just start seeing income when it would normally be able to be flipped by then or earning $500/month or so already...

      You don't necessarily have to wait, that's just a suggestion.

      One thing I can say though, don't fall for any "guaranteed approval" or "24 hour approval" offers.

      It depends on the keyword phrase group. The course teaches you how to find and develop a keyword phrase group. This becomes the basis of each site. How much content will depend on the keyword phrase group.

      Typically, this is 8-12 keyword phrases. For each one, there is an article for the site, plus a number of posts and article submissions. There isn't a specific number to say "this many articles will equal this much revenue". A higher-CPC keyword phrase group may require less content, however that same group, if they are more competitive might require more, etc.

      Sorry I can't be more precise, but this isn't that kind of 'push-button' application; rather the requirements will vary with the niche & keywords you chose to go after, what your revenue and timeline goals are, etc.

    Michael,

    I'm in Christchurch, New Zealand and after recent events (ongoing earthquakes!!! ) am looking at getting back into internet marketing in a big way to offset any dependence on the local job scene. Job security ain't what it used to be.

    My question is what is a reasonable timeframe to start seeing earnings of 1K per month using the A100KBlueprint for someone who has an Adsense account and can build sites? Domains, DNS forwarding and hosting is no problem either.

    Look forward to your reply.

      Hey Rob,

      My heart's with you all there; hope you didn't get hit too hard. If it helps, I'd like to offer you, and anyone else there who is experiencing direct hardship as a result of the earthquake, a 'scholarship' of sorts. I'd like to offer you the full package - the course, videos, forum, etc. at no cost upfront. Once you're 'on your feet' and earning with it, you can then buy your copy, but you'll have no obligation.

      Your question is a tough one to answer for all the obvious reasons, but I'll try:

      We'll assume you already have your Adsense account, access to hosting, Wordpress, etc., and that you take the time to go through the course - specifically, reading the ebook.

      From that point, you begin with your niche selection and keyword research. Depending on the tools you choose to use, and I provide examples using both free & paid tools, you might spend anywhere from an hour to a couple of days. Once you have your initial keyword phrase group, that's the point you really begin the 'work'.

      The 'work' initially consists of registering your domain, and setting up your Wordpress site (btw, we do provide video tutorials for those who are new or doing this for their first time).

      You'll then create or outsource your base content. This consists of an article for each keyword phrase in your chosen group - your 'ranking target' pages - plus another set of articles to be used as posts.

      Once the site and content are up and indexed, you begin your backlinking campaign. We provide an initial 3-week 'Blueprint' - do this day 1, this day 2, this day 3.... this and this week 2, this and this week 3, etc.

      It can take anywhere from 10-30 days for your pages to 'settle' in their initial rankings. From that point, it becomes an exercise of repeating the 'week 3' ranking routine to push those target pages up in the rankings.

      The goal is to get those pages to strong Page 1 rankings. That's when you'll be getting strong, steady traffic, and as a result, strong, steady revenues. Depending on the actual keyword phrases and their competition, you can realistically expect this to take anywhere from that first month, up to 3 months. On average, you should expect it to take around 45-75 days to get your top rankings.

      The entire plan is built on this premise: you choose a keyword phrase group that is not more than moderately competitive, and that has appropriate search volume and CPC's. You then follow a step-by-step plan to get ranked for each of those keywords. For your first site, unless you are experienced with how we do the keyword research, you should expect around $20-$40/per day once you get those Page 1 rankings.

      As your experience increases, you'll find you are able to develop better keyword phrase groups - higher search volume, more keywords, higher CPC's, etc. - and so your sites will in turn generate better revenues.

      Of course you aren't limited to building just one site, or even one at a time - in fact, we advocate building multiple sites once you fully understand the strategies - but realistically you shouldn't expect your first effort to be a Grand Slam.

      If I had to put it in those terms, I'd say on 'average', following the Blueprint closely, you should be able to see $25/day from the first site in 60-90 days. Once you understand the concepts and process, you can build more sites, higher-earning sites, or both. And of course once you have a site with a stable $25/day, you have also have a $7000-$10,000 asset.

      PM me if you'd like to take me up on my offer btw.

      Hope that answers the question - somewhat, at least

        It was quite surreal and one friend I personally knew was killed in the collapsed buildings but compared to Japan we got off lightly. My wife and kids were all OK so I am extremely grateful and have nothing to complain about.

        Very generous of you with the 'scholarship' but your course sounds good and my credit card is good so I'll gladly pay upfront like everyone else.

        I'm quite experienced with keyword research, however, you can never know everything so for these sites I'll simply follow the keyword research guidelines that you lay down in the book/video.

        Is this valuation according to flippa or similar sites I assume? I saw from your sales page that you did some impressive site flipping in record time! Probably looking to hold on to these assets for a while yet as (somewhat) passive income but good to know.

          Yes, Adsense sites that aren't junk and have some month-to-month earnings history are in high demand and command a very high premium. Blueprint sites sell very well, and very fast. You can expect from 10-22 times monthly earnings, depending on how much earnings history there is.

          In the course I specifically advocate keeping half your sites and flipping half. This give you the 'best of all worlds', the daily revenue stream, and the 'bird-in-hand' lump-sum infusions. This is the strategy I employ for myself as well.

      Though I'm obviously not an 'impartial party', what I can tell you from my own experience, and recent threads on our forum, which is pretty much what one would expect.

      Those sites, and those building sites, that adhere to the guidelines in terms of content quality, site layout, etc., have not seen any adverse impact - in more than a few cases, sites have jumped up.

      Those site, and those building sites, who are 'winging it', taking shortcuts, or falling short in regards to their content, are not seeing much progress, and in some cases sharp drops.

      That said, I should mention that a few sites that one would have thought would have been hit, haven't been, while a few that seemed like they should have been fine got hit.

      Hi Randy,

      While the forum isn't necessary in order to succeed with the Blueprint, and it was written to completely stand on it's own, it has become a tremendous resource, with over 600 active members, and over 6000 posts in 900+ threads.

      In addition to a lot of helpful & motivated people sharing tips, progress, success - and failure - stories, there is a ton of info covering questions about Adsense, the new 'Farmer' update, implementing the various steps of the Blueprint, keyword research, competitive analysis, content writing, backlinking, technical issues, site flipping, etc., plus a lot of 'goodies'.

      We also provide 'expert' site reviews & analysis; there's a section specifically for this, so someone can make sure they're on the right track and implementing the tactics correctly, double-check their niche & keyword research choices, and get advice for any stage they're at. URL's and keywords are kept confidential unless someone chooses to post their info publicly; and in fact there are quite a few people doing this, and a lot of 'cooperative' support and suggestions between members.

      I would say the main benefits are a) being able to 'compare notes' with others following the same strategies - ask questions and get quick answers, clarify things than may not be clear, etc., b) have your progress personally reviewed w/ constructive feedback, and c) the motivation, community, and positive support that totally permeates the forum.

      It's developed into a great group of people, with a great 'attitude' and feel.

      I should also mention, the forum will be expanded very soon to include our upcoming "Traffic $100k Blueprint", so there will be additional 'cross-benefits' even to those who don't purchase 'T100k' - which btw will be released first, and at a steep discount, to A100k customers.

    Randy, the forum is useful if at least to get you started. Most of us have found this as a steep learning curve and with everybody else on the forum it's good to have others to bounce even the silliest question over.

    The biggest benefit of being on the forum is that it's not a secretive thing. Everybody wants each other to succeed and are willing to help you get there and you'll also find many people with lots of different experience coming together to give their expertise to help you put it all together.

    The other cool part is that when people start trying other things they're quick to report if it did or did not workout to save you the trouble and pitfalls. Give the forum a shot and just sit down with a notepad and take notes. If you don't see it's for you or you're brain is full then tell them you want to cancel it.

    btw this is a unbiased review, I bought the program and on the forum and I've been doing adsense stuff for many years

      Just a quick post to say how much I'm enjoying the whole experience of being a member of 100K Adsense Blueprint community.

      I love the product, it is one of the best and most detailed courses on IM I have bought. It is clearly written by someone who is in the trenches, DOING IT (very successfuly it seems) and not someone whose theories sound good and "should definitely work"

      I also really like the forum and find it incredibly helpful and inspirational to be amongst a group of people following similar path and aiming at similar goals.

      One of the best things though is having Michael and Adam (the two product creators) available on the forum every day to answer all kinds of questions. Even stupid ones .

      Too many product creators have their customer support outsourced and that often just doesn't work. Well not here! I have had my questions answered by both Adam and Michael on the open Forum, as Private Messages and by personal email. The guys are super helpful and quick to respond (most of the time )

      I can't recommend this course highly enough.

      Vlad.

      I found her review docile. Perhaps you are falling for her marketing persona, which she has carefully crafted. All credit to her. I'm still on the fence with this course, despite many emails from marketers who inundate my mailbox.

      I have made most of my money online with Adsense, but Google keeps chipping away at it with each passing day. While the traffic has dropped somewhat, the CTRs are pitiful (or should that be criminal). I firmly believe Google doesn't pay for every click.

    I haven't been on this forum much lately, but just received an email from John Reese recommending "Adsense Blueprint" so I thought I'd stop by with an update - great recommendation from Mr. Reese btw.

    With some of the money I've made, I invested in two new applications to help me "boost" my efforts: SE Cockpit for keyword research, and SE Nuke for building my backlinks.

    I'm still getting used to SE Cockpit. I sat in on the webinar they had for the forum members, and while it was a LOT of information and I wasn't able to digest all of it, I trusted their recommendation and subscribed. Since then, I have come up with more keyword opportunities than I have time to pursue!

    Which brings me to SE Nuke. With the new version, it is soooo quick and easy, that I plan to ramp up my efforts and try to do more than 2 Blueprint sites simultaneously.

    Of the two I have currently, they are making consistent income. One "disappeared" right after the Google update, which worried me greatly, but "re-appeared" 2 days later, in the same positions. I don't understand it, but I guess I don't have to worry.

    I'm also trying to teach hubby to help me, though he isn't the most patient person in the world...

    Please don't think I am not willing to do the hard work...just wondering before I take the plunge and buy another IM product (albeit one that has great reviews!). Considering that I am not a newbie - can set up WP sites, have an adsense ID, write pretty good content, can use Market Samurai and google kw tool for kw research, etc - how many hours per day would be the ideal to spend on developing this business model in order to hit that 5k per month? I ask because I need to focus and I have about 3 other things going - at least one I would drop to do this because I need a steady income stream to pursue my other online passions. This sounds like it could be the ticket in 6 months time. If you say ideally, spend 4 hours per day - I know what I am in for and can budget my time accordingly. 2-3 would be better Thanks!

      He elliec,

      Though we get this question - and variations - probably more than any other, I can tell you that you're already ahead of the game with your perspective.

      This is NOT a 'get rich quick' scheme, singular tactic, trick, 'magic bullet', etc. It's a plan for developing a strong, successful, and sustainable business. As such, it takes time, effort, and commitment.

      That said, what it WILL do for you is to cut out all the 'trial & error' and unnecessary steps in building a successful business, by giving you a known-working plan, a step-by-step guide to duplicating a successful business.

      To answer your question, much of course depends on the level you're at when you begin. The course is designed to take very little for granted, such that someone without experience can follow it, but what experience you do have will speed things along that much faster.

      In order to build a 6-figure business, which is the base goal, we suggest you devote the time necessary to read through all the material, and do the initial niche selection, keyword research, and content development or outsourcing. Once you've completed that phase, in order to reach that goal, we suggest a minimum of 1-2 hours per day applying the 'Action Plan' - the posting, backlinking, and rank development. We provide a day-by-day and week-by-week plan, but it's intended as a general guide. The more effort you apply, the better and faster your results will be.

      Once your site is up and indexed, you can expect it to take 2-4 weeks for it's initial rankings to 'settle', and then another 45-90 days to start getting your Page 1 rankings. You should begin to see revenues almost as soon as your site 'settles', but it's those Page 1 rankings that we're aiming for. Once you reach that point, you'll have good, stable earnings.

      How much will depend on a number of factors: how well you followed the keyword research guidelines, how large an initial 'keyword phrase group' you opted to start with, and your experience and time commitments. For a relative beginner, realistic expectations on their first Blueprint site are to reach appx. $25/day - which also translated into a $7-10k asset. Two sites, double the amounts.

      For someone with more experience and more time to devote, a realistic expectation would be to see appx. $40/day after 4-6 months with one site.

      From that, it comes down to how well you do the niche selection and keyword research steps, and how many sites you develop. We do advocate building more than one site if you have the time and are somewhat experienced. As you already have experience in the basics such as Wordpress, if you are able to devote 3 hours per day, by 6 months you should certainly be on track to reach that 6-figure annual business threshold.

      Hope that helps~

        That was a great reply. No BS and I thank you. Can't wait to get started and will plan to devote the necessary time to make it work. I hope to be a testimonial as someone who has made money and set up a business with your guidance.

    Really in need of a complete guideline for adsense..Looking forward to have this blueprint..Just a few questions here:

    How does it cover the method of finding niches and keywords? Does it make any different if Im not using MS or MNF?

    Is outsourcing related to this blueprint? If yes, how much do I need to start with?

      Hi sliperdm,

      The strategy we provide can be implemented using any available tools. I go over a number of paid & free tools, but always provide examples using free tools, most commonly Google's free keyword tool.

      With the notable exception of SE Cockpit, all these tools - MNF, MS, etc., are using the same data from Google. It comes down to preference and feature set.

      As for outsourcing, you can certainly benefit from outsourcing, and I talk about it in the course, however it isn't necessary in order to follow the course, and in fact I advocate -not- outsourcing if you're just beginning, as there is tremendous value in gaining the direct experience of going through all the steps yourself. You can outsource most aspects of the plan, at any point should you choose to, but it is not essential.

      Hope that helps~

      Hi cypher,

      If you purchase through the link from the webinar we did, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee; this would let you try it out. I'm also confident in saying, if you try it, there's very little chance you'll give it up!

      Gonna PM you the link.

            G'day Michael,

            Glad to see you're having so much success with your program. Now you may not remember me, but I purchased a site from you - erasebadcreditnow.org - back in September 2009 when you ran your WSO. I paid $197 for that site at the time (PayPal Transaction ID - 80379397M9007511T) and received neither the site I was promised, or a refund for it. Given your current success, I was just wondering which you are prepared to deliver now - the site I paid for, or the refund? I would prefer to receive what I paid for, but failing that, I'll accept the refund if you are unable to deliver the site.

            After all, it's what you promised me back in 2009 and I think after 2 years and the success of this blueprint, it's reasonable to expect I receive what I paid for or failing that, a refund - as you stated in your original WSO and repeatedly in various responses on the thread, via pm here and emails (all of which I still have).

            If you're a man of your word, I'm sure you can deliver one or the other by now and if so, I'll consider us square and wish you well in your future endeavours.

            I look forward to your response.

            Jeff

    Hey batchos - you found her review docile?

    Docile means compliant or submissive. Perhaps that's not the word you meant?

    Tiffany is anything but submissive. She can rip products apart - and does that pretty often. She sometimes even comments on the product creators which I find refreshing. So many people tip toe through reviews.

    I'm not sure I can remember her being so positive about a product before. Given her track record, I tend to trust her.

    Read some of her other reviews and I'm pretty certain you'll agree.

    At any rate, she speaks highly of this one, and I think she's right on target.

    Sorry you feel that Google is chipping away at your adsense earnings. I'm not sure why that would be. My adsense earnings are consistently rising incrementally except for a little blip for about ten days in February. As a matter of fact, the day before yesterday was a record-breaking day for me. Just by three bucks mind you, but still ...

      Hi Doiron,

      I did mean docile, without the quotes. Of course we don't all have to agree, and I'm not knocking Tiffany. I think she is an honest marketer.

      Glad to hear Adsense is working great for you.

    Yeah, agreed. I've been following Tiffany Dow's blog for a few weeks now and she's pretty honest. She will flat out tell you if she thinks a product is good or not, and like Doiron said, she will also evaluate the product owner.

    Want proof? Look at her review and comments regarding Dan Brock's DSA system on her blog. Not trying to rip on it btw

      Hi l have been at this for about 2 months so far and believe that the recommendations for Adsence placement earnings, would increase earnings over how most people do it.

      I am presently concentrating all my efforts on a 3 year old site that has keyword exposure going for it.

      Backlinking to the top 14 pages, l currently have a dozen pages on the top SERP results with little income from it because of the low monitization potential of these pages.

      Once l have backlinked to all 14 and replicated it on other online business that allow that, l will then concentrate all my efforts on the 5 most profitable pages that l can backlink the most.


      So...in a nutshell, l haven't really made any worthwhile profits yet, but a few encouraging things have happened over that time.

      I have been submitting articles to Ezinearticles mainly over the last 2 months when l could, and have found that my Alexia ranking has gone from 2,200,000 to, (when l wrote this) 1,200,000. Much quicker than it has done in the past.

      Also, recently my daily traffic stats have gone from about 80 people per day to 125 per day for 5 days. Unfortunately that has dropped to 95 per day recently. But it does show that if the right person grabs your article and pops it on their site, great things can happen.

      Consistently writing articles over time is an investment in your site doing well overall, and using 100K's recommendations will increase your efforts several times over because of the sites they list that don't have duplication hassles.

      I expect one day to see my sites 5 targeted Adsence pages to bring in something worthwhile, and in the meantime to see more of the positive results l have seen after implementing these strategies.

      But as other have said if you want to press a button and make money it's best to go somewhere else, but if you are serious about making money online, and are prepared to take a chance with a small investment and a lot of effort then this will definitely be of benefit to your website success strategy.

    Hi Jeff,

    I most certainly do remember you; as best as I am able to find, yours is the last that got caught up in that debacle.

    I'm sure you recall the circumstances; I do not have access to the paypal account of the person who received the money, nor do I have access to her records or materials.

    I should note that site was delivered - it has been up since October '09, with your Adsense ads running on it.

    However, I would be -very- happy to provide a refund. I don't know if I can access that site registration, but one way or another I can certainly make sure you're covered. Please PM me with an email address for you.

    This blogging program looks very interesting and I'm seriously considering buying it.

    However, I already own Mike Johnson's Auto Blog Blueprint 3, so I'm wondering how much these programs overlap.

    I'm guessing (from its name) that A100K focuses primarily on Adsense for monetization -- perhaps more than does Auto Blog Blueprint. But I'm only guessing...

    So I'd appreciate it if anyone who has knowledge of these two courses can provide some clarification on their differences.

    Regardless, it certainly appears that A100K has good reviews.

    Thanks,

      Hi Artemas,

      While I don't own Auto Blog Blueprint, I can tell you we are somewhat of an "anti-auto-blog" course. The focus is on building quality sites, not on automating scraped auto-blogs. Fwiw, I can tell you with a great deal of confidence and very good understanding of the recent "Panda" update, that the basic premise of auto-blogging is not the path to a sustainable, long-term business.

      NOTE: I'm not suggesting Auto Blog Blueprint is about "scraped auto-blogs", nor am I suggesting it is a bad product. My comment stems from the name of the product only.

      The focus of the course is on Adsense, however that is the monetization method. The core of the course is on understanding how to research, build, and rank informational niche sites - not the only way by any stretch, but a tried, tested, and proven method. Once you are able to do that reliably and repeatedly, you aren't limited to Adsense.

    Michael, I have some of the same concerns as Romney & others have posted. I've purchsed several products/courses that haven't been all that was advertised. I'm wondering can I aslo get temp access to the forum to look around. I also have keyword elite. Are you familiar whith the program, & if so, is it useful for keyword research with your product. The reason I'm being cautious is that I've only had part-time employment for over years, I've run out of reserves & I have to do this on a shoestring, and I've got to make it work if I go this route.

      Hi Matt,

      While I absolutely know that many IM products are, to be polite, 'less than wonderful', that is what these review threads are for. This is a $47 product. It's from Clickbank. Refunds are simple, and every refund request is approved immediately. There are no up-sells, down-sells, side-sells, other-sells, etc., nothing additional necessary. In fact, the only other thing you could possibly buy from us is forum membership, and that's only $17/mo., and also through Clickbank. The only thing you risk is your time.

      My concern with these requests is that we get a lot of them, and can't possibly set up everybody with temporary forum accounts. It would impact the excellent forum community, take away from time spent supporting our members, and the unfortunate reality is, there are many people who would look to take advantage of it even with no interest in the course.

      Ok, done venting...

      If you PM me with an email address, I will set you up with a temporary forum account where you'll be welcome to poke around, ask questions, see what others are doing, and how they feel about the course.

      Hi sickoes,

      If you've signed up for the forum, there's a section on 'Keyword Research' that will have a lot of information for you, in addition you can ask specific questions and usually get answers very quickly. Also, there are plenty of "nub's" who have asked every conceivable question, and you can access all of that there. If you didn't sign up for the forum, there is a 7-day trial available from your product download page.

      Alternately, you can email me directly at: mike -at- analogymarketing -dot- com

          Hi Adam,

          The forum has become a truly great resource, and along with myself and my partner Adam, we have a number of moderators - plus there are a lot of very helpful people who all make an effort to provide support. When you purchase the course, you'll have an option for a 7-day trial of the forum.

          The forum isn't required to follow the course, but it is our main 'avenue' for support. That said, we do provide you with a support email address that goes directly to both myself and Adam, and we try to answer any and all support questions. Most are answered right away. Of course there is a limit to the support we can provide, and we can't "do the work" for someone, but I'm very comfortable saying our support - both on the forum and directly - is second to none.

    100k blue print is really good book to read both for newbie IM or someone who already running their IM for couple month like me. it's not some copy crap book where the content telling the same story. 100k blueprint is really different and gives me something that I don't really notice before about IM. Once you finish read the book you will be advance internet marketer if you follow the guidelines. Thumbs up for the writer.

    One thing I want to know is theme that recommended in the book, is the theme still good to use because its seem really old design? if anyone have good result with using the theme I'll use it for my niche

      One thing I want to know is theme that recommended in the book, is the theme still good to use because its seem really old design? if anyone have good result with using the theme I'll use it for my niche
      Thanks corona,

      There are two theme's provided, one based on a theme that has been around for a while, the other based on an optimized HTML layout I'd created. Both provide extremely good results. Of course, you are welcome to use any theme you like, but both of these have been specifically designed & optimized for ad clicks and EPC's.

    Geez guys...Its 47$! You get far more than just the book for the price. I realized everyone is looking for "bang for the buck" but really? Remember, the book, videos (yes there are videos), themes and let's not forget, plig-ins, won't make you money. Only consistently using the techniques in the book, asking questions and, I think, using the forums, will make you money. That's it.

    If you doubt, check out Tiffany Dow's Internet Marketing Blog where she not only reviews the product in 4 parts but is on going in her review as she puts the techniques into practice. She is blunt and to the point...and she loves the product.

      The themes help insure the highest CTR and EPC's, but as cyphers correctly points out, success isn't theme-dependent; there isn't any 'trick' or 'magic theme' that will do that for you.

      This is a course about building quality informational sites with strong fundamentals, and getting them successfully ranked. To accomplish this, you will learn our methods of niche & keyword selection, how to properly optimize your pages and get them ranked, and putting it all together to build a strong, sustainable, profitable, and long-term business.

      Everything in the course is based on my own successful Adsense business, which has been tested, tweaked, and optimized over the last two years, and written such that following the steps will give you similar, repeatable results.

      It isn't rocket science, or the only way to do Adsense. Rather it is a carefully developed plan that works: the exact steps to take, with detailed explanations of what each step is for, and why it works.

      I like to think it is a very good value. It's $47 complete, you get a lot for your money, it actually works, and is easily refundable should you find it isn't for you.

    Hey Mike,

    I have been finding praise for you and Terry's products all over the web recently and have no doubt that you guys produce solid products.

    The problem is you guys are making it very hard for me to choose between them It's kind of similar to how easily people can get lost in the WSO section - it's like a candy shop for grown up's.

    For me, it's come down to a decision between $100K and Bring the Fresh. (Backlink Hydra also seems good, but I probably need a more general course. I'm also not sure how up-to-date the information is.) So, what would be your recommendation?

    Thanks in advance,

      Hi Erick,

      A100k and BTF are very different products. BTF is a general internet marketing course, while A100k is a guide for building a very specific Adsense business. That said, BTF does offer plenty of very specific advice, and A100k strategy can be applied to other business models.

      I'm a big fan of BTF - I'm a "Full Disclosure" member myself, and recommend it both within my course, and on our forum.

      If you were trying to decide on one or the other, I would consider where you're at, and what your objectives are. If you're relatively new to internet marketing and want to be exposed to a wide and solid foundation, my recommendation would be for BTF.

      If you are looking for a very specific plan to build a tested, strong internet marketing business, my recommendation would be for A100k.

      I'm comfortable saying they're both very strong 'Best In Class' products, and while I'm not in the business of trying to dissuade people from buying my course, you won't go wrong with BTF. On the other hand, A100k is a considerably smaller investment, with a more singular focus - building a sustainable, long-term 6-figure Adsense business.

        Hey Michael!

        I know where you guys come from, your $100K must be an excellent product, I say must because I havent read it myself yet. It is very hard to find so many good genuine public reviews about a product. Normally people would feel very safe to just talk trash about a product they tried and simply did not feel good about or lazy enough to really try, even after getting a refund they would still wanna say crap about it.

        But the Adsense 100K Blueprint has be getting nothing but good reviews, I have't purchased yet due to things been really hard here in Brazil and $47 represents a lot to us here and with my current job and college tuition its really hard at the moment.

        I just wanted to point out that I have been a member of the Adsense Program for 6 years now and only have been able to meet the payout this year after I started using HubPages and reading while learning a few things. Well I am 24 now, I know not very young nor too old, but I can certainly say that making at least $25 per day with adsense would be more than just an accomplishment, it would be a dream come true, as an add-on revenue of around $500 per month extra to me and my family would mean a lot.

        God is good and I know everything happens for a reason, just like stumbling across this thread at 4:26am local time in Sao Paulo Brazil.



        PS: I need to send you a PM its very important, how can I do that , it wont let me.. perhaps replying to one from you will work?

        Thanks again.

    Mike,

    If I were to buy a paid automation tool for backlinks to go with your course, do you have any personal recommendations? I've done manual backlinking in the past and currently own scrapebox, just so you have a little background information.

    As of right now it's kind of a coin toss between SEO Link Robot and Magic Submitter.

    Many thanks,

      Hi Erick,

      We do provide some info & recommendations within the course. It will depend largely on what your objectives are; whether you are looking for a single comprehensive rank-building app, an adjunct to other efforts, what your cost considerations are, etc.

      For a single comprehensive tool, we use and recommend SENuke ourselves; SERPAssist is another one we recommend.

      Since you already have scrapebox, you can certainly take advantage of it for finding good, relevant blogs, forums, etc. for commenting.

      What I can say is that along with insuring you have some 'link diversity' - meaning not relying exclusively on blog commenting or profile links for example - and particularly since Panda, the most effective backlinks are going to be through original, quality content and 'editorial' or in-content links: guest blogging, hi-grade articles and Web 2.0 posts, etc.

      Personally, I also regularly use Unique Article Wizard, RSSBot and SocialBot, and a few blog syndication networks along with The Best Spinner.

        Thanks for the detailed reply, Mike.

        I've been hearing that for people with the money to spend, SeNuke is still the best for an all all-in-one tool, but priced at $147/month, the upgraded SeNuke X is something a bit out of range at the moment.

        I thought MS and SEOLR would be much cheaper and yet decent substitutes that are capable of doing just about everything. Do you not recommend either one? Sorry if I'm putting you on the spot.

        Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon.

          Sorry I missed this post.

          I have heard good things about both SEO Link Robot and Magic Submitter, but I don't have personal experience with either, so I a can't make a recommendation. I can say there are a number of positive posts about both on our forum.

              Ouch...didn't mean to ask for support, just how to contact them for support.

              By way of a review I have been through the product and am very happy with the purchase of the blueprint. Delighted to see that several blogs I have established are in niches with high paying adsense and will apply the blueprint to those niches and report back to the forum how I get on.

              The delivery is very clear and offers lots of insight for newbies as well as more experienced folks. I have some issues with how to use the recommended theme since I am familiar with installing WP themes but this installation is a bit more techie for me.

              Great value for the price. Right up there with the top products I have ever purchased! This is solid content and a real blueprint for earning. Just buy it. Should easily pay for itself in the first month.

      I landed here after watching a webinar and read the entire thread. Michael, this is indeed a brilliant piece of work. It recognizes the first sentence in my marketing bible:

      "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" ~ Albert Einstein

      I confess that reading anything about SEO has been divine inspiration to just buy the traffic. But the passive income feature of SE marketing appears to be a worthy pursuit. Before I jump on board, I have a couple questions with this biz model.

      I bought Fat Cat Blueprint several months ago and ran into something discouraging with adsense sites. He recommends Dave Kelly's Super Apprentice. It's what Dave says about adsense sites that led me to shelf FCB. He characterizes it as the "glass ceiling" of organic marketing:

      "Every Site You Build And Promote Has a Shelf-Life, and the Clock Starts Ticking The Moment it Goes Live. Every site that relies on organic traffic "peaks" and then fades. The more sites you have, the more promotion you are required to do to maintain all of your sites."

      Visions of the hamster on a treadmill come to mind - spend months getting that site to $25/day and then what? Keep promoting or lose it? Or as Dave advises, sell and get out before the ranking disappears. What gives this weight is Dave's reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and experienced marketers.

      It can't be that cut and dry? What is your experience with ranking longevity - and what it takes to keep them ranked? Selling is great but I'm after passive income. Hope you can weigh in.

    Hi Vjack,

    Thanks for the post, and kind words.

    I don't own FCB nor do I know Dave Kelly. However, I can speak from my own very long experience, the experience of my partner, a number of colleagues I work with, and the 1000+ people on our forum.

    Of my own 'personal' Adsense sites, I have well over a dozen that have had stable Page 1 positions for more than 2 years, a couple coming up on 3 years. I have perhaps another dozen with stable Page 1 positions for over a year.

    First let me say that we advocate keeping half your sites, and selling half. Not because of some perceived "glass ceiling", but out of basic common sense business practices. Things happen, and as they say "a bird in hand..."

    That said, there are plenty of reasons a site will 'peak' and then decline. This happens most often in moderate-to-very competitive niches, and is partly a function of competition. In addition, in areas where there is a lot of 'movement' or change, you must continually add content and new backlinks simply to keep pace with other sites.

    Another consideration is 'link decay'. Very often, people advocate and pursue poor link-building strategies, gaining a large number of 'easy' lo-value and lo-stickyness links in an effort to bulldoze their way to top rankings. Many of these links disappear or become devalued quickly, leading to that up-then-down pattern of ranking. On top of that, the sites themselves are often lo-quality sites. If those guys are advocating these sorts of promotion and link-building, then it wouldn't surprise me that their sites don't hold their positions well.

    Particularly post-"Panda", link diversity, link relevance, link quality, and quality content are 'musts' for any long-term success.

    I can tell you with confidence and from direct experience, if you build reasonably solid sites, properly, and apply a correct and intelligent rank-building effort, and have been diligent in your initial keyword research, once you get strong rankings, it becomes a matter of 'maintaining' your positions - far less effort than first building rankings. And if you've done those basics well, and aren't in a very competitive area, you can maintain those rankings almost indefinitely with just a little ongoing 'maintenance' effort.

    Hope that answered your question!

    Michael

    Michael, thanks so much for taking your time and offering such insightful answers. "I got it." And I think your approach to keywords may result in stronger held rank positions. When doing niche research, your info is pure gold - as people like me (lazy) can prevent or mitigate future trouble before committing. That's a biggie.

    FCB is a good course but Albert would scold him on info presentation - 242 pages is pretty rough. And no forum.

    Getting late - gonna buy tomorrow :-) and thanks again!

      Thanks for that; one of the 'issues' we get a lot is the "I can't find those zillion great keywords you assure me are there" - what it often comes down to is "I'm looking in all the 'usual' places, and can't understand why I can only find the 'usual' saturated or overly-competitive keywords".

      If you begin with good niche research, the keywords almost jump out at you.

        This product is great; I accidentally picked a VERY competitive niche without realizing it. Since I spent so much time on it, however, I decided to keep chipping away at it. In about one month, I've made $15 in AdSense. It may not sound like much, but it's the first real money I've made from one of my sites and it is a HUGE morale booster. Time to keep working at it!

          Great stuff Kate - thanks! The reality is, even in competitive niches, if you follow the basic plan of having individual keyword-targeted Pages, the Pages bolstered by your post content & internal linking, update the content regularly, and pursue a consistent, diverse backlinking campaign, it becomes simply a matter of time.

          Don't know if you're on the forum, but I'm sure there are others who can share similar scenarios, along with those who gain the confidence and morale boost to move forward from stories such as yours.

          Thanks again for posting that~

    Bought the course, plugging away using some domains I registered over a year ago in fairly competitive niches. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they all have high paying keywords and am now converting them into the zone and blue themes which come with the blueprint. Next step keyword research and then get down to business with creating content. The course is great and I want to commend Adam for his super great support. These guys are the real deal and if you are on the fence about buying this course, just do it! This is far better than a shelved $2000+ course I wasted money on 2 years ago.

      While the course takes you through some advanced concepts, and the end result is to build and rank technically solid 'mini-Authority' sites, it was written specifically to be accessible to beginners. Everything is laid out clearly with complete explanations of what, why, and how, and assumes no prior knowledge or experience, other than some basic IM terms.

      Beginners tend to do well with the course since they usually have less bad information to correct and fewer incorrect assumptions going in, and everything is show with examples and step-by-step instructions.

      For those with experience, most have found the Blueprint to be a different - and more effective - approach than they're used to.

      I should also point out that our members forum provides an extraordinary amount of support, both for beginners and experts, with over a thousand active participants at both ends of the spectrum.

        Hi Michael,

        even though the 3 kw pages on my three and a half year old site, haven't been listed yet. I am already seeing some positive adsense results, from the back-linking strategies you advocate.

        First month was $1.72 profit, from back-linking to 13 different low profit pages, (yep, l did mess things up initially) on my site.

        Then after rereading the manual l created the 3 high profit pages and started back-linking, it jumped to about $3.80 second month.

        Currently this month the 3 profitable kw pages, haven't been listed on the SERP results, yet, (but l have SEO optimized these pages, so it will only be a matter of time). And l have created, so far almost 10 articles, press releases, etc, going back to each of these pages.

        As well as optimizing the adsense for all my pages, and so far in the last 6 days have made, $3.08, almost last months profit in 6 days!

        I will probably end up with $10 adsense profit this month, and with the constant article, etc writing as soon as the 3 profitable kw pages show up, they will probably fly up past the less optimized sites.

        Even with a 1% conversion rate, (l have seen 12% on some of my kw pages) when all 3 kw pages show up on the first page of Google, l should end up with $700 per month. Although it seems to be averaging out to 3.5% at the moment, which should give me more than $2,500 a month from adsense!

        Considering l cant implement all the 100KBP techniques on my website, to optimize conversions, and this site has been a dead-horse for more than 3 years, this product is a miracle.


        If you want to go for the fast buck, fair enough. But it may or may not work and, (as more often than not) you may end up not getting anywhere in a year or two.

        Having something like this that you can plug away with, with a new article, here and there, while you are trying the high risk strategies is a great way to go.

        In a years time instead of saying, well this idea was a flop, you could instead say, well this idea flopped but l am at least making $1000 a month from my 100K site or sites.

        And you could even say that l will sell one of my 2 or 3 sites, for an easy $10,000 to $20,000 and go and drown my sorrows on a tropical beach somewhere.

        $47 is a very small price to pay for something that can produce those sort of results over time. Highly recommended!

        Shane.

        P.S. If you are thinking that if you create a site in the wrong niche, it may not work, put that out of your mind.

        My toy and game site, has been a dead-horse for many years, and l have tried affiliate products, my own e-books and my own e-book with a truck load of bonus RR products. I have tried virtually everything on this site, this is the first thing that is showing great results!

        MODERATOR. If I understand your post correctly, you are currently making about fifty cents a day. The rest of your numbers are just fanciful supposition. We prefer to deal with real results here.

      This course is very good and I have tried this and also xfactors authority site course and steve crooks adsense 101 bootcamp. I have learned a lot from all of them but the adsense 101 bootcamp beats them all because it has so much more about getting my website to the top of google and how to earn good money from adsense.

    I was on a webinar from James J. Jones on wednesday last week for the $100k Adsense Blueprint. It was one of the best webinars I've ever listened to and very refreshing since it wasn't a typical "pitch fest" of "buy this, 6 clicks and you'll be rich..." The main presenter seemed to be the most knowledgable person I've heard and really knew his stuff. I've spoken with many others who were on that call and most agree with me. It's very nice when someone knows what they are talking about and can convey it, especially when it isn't a 2 hour long sales pitch. The presenters stayed on way beyond the set time answering questions which also says a lot to me.

    I ended up buying Adsense Blueprint. One reason was the webinar, and also there were no upsells, which I don't think I've ever seen before. I began reading the main pdf on Wednesday, and was able to get most of the way through it by Friday. I registered my a domain today and will be going through the plan starting this week.

    I feel that the information in the course is better than anything I've read - just like the webinar. After reading the main book, I feel like all the other courses and books I read were nowhere near where this was - maybe thats why they didn't work for me

    I'd like to thanks James Jones and the two presenters - I've joined the forum (the Adsense Blueprint forum) and hope I will have similar success to some of the people I already met on there.

      Hi webn,

      I can answer some of your questions:

      Since it's release, we have done numerous 'in-line' updates, meaning we're updating the ebook for typo's, clarifications, new links, etc.

      We've also been compiling a list of updates, which include information covering the recent Google 'Panda' updates, and will be releasing a new version number.

      We're getting ready to release "Traffic $100k Blueprint" this coming week; a week or two after that, we'll be releasing the new version number for "Adsense $100k Blueprint". As with all updates to all products we release, there will be no charge for current customers.

      As for average earnings, there's no way calculate that - there's too wide a range of efforts. Some people have made this a full-time effort, while some are just supplementing their other efforts; still others are moving slowly & methodically, versus some who are outsourcing significantly large efforts.

      I can say that of the people on the forum who are making a serious effort, while the timeframes vary, very few have not found success. In fact, much of what we do on the forum is interact with each other and 'troubleshoot' those who have difficulties in order to assure that those who are making the effort do get solid results.

      I couldn't wait for a new version, but hope that we'll get a good option on an upgrade if one comes out.
      I bought this an hour or so ago (a bit late now that it's already August 2011) and I'm just reading into it.
      Thank goodness for pdfs, what a relief to sit and read quietly, and know that I'll also be able to read more whilst I'm looking after our shop in town!!
      I'm thoroughly sick of MP3 and MP4 overload - it's too darned hot to sit here for hours with headphones on while established experts bang on about how AWESOME (hate that word) they are and then spend just a short while rattling through what we need to do to be just like them (almost, if we've bought an upsell or three!).
      Hooray for sanity......... now this really IS exciting.
      I'll come back once I've been able to make $10 a day......... which will make me much happier!

    Version Updates, and Information Currency

    Since there have been a number of posts asking about course updates, and changes due to the Google Panda search updates, I'll post this rather than try to answer each post individually.

    Since the course was released last October, there have been over 10 "in-line" updates. This means we've updated the PDF 10 times, but rather than release a whole new version, we simply replace the current download with a newer download.

    One reason for the "in-line" updates is to correct non-critical stuff: typo's and formatting issues that are found, some section rewrites for better clarity, changes or updates in stats, and occasionally a new resource added, links that may have changed, etc.

    Since the initial release, we've also been keeping a list of requests - things like better or expanded explanations in some places, more internal linking so that parts of the course that reference other parts are linked right there, etc.

    In addition, we've spent a lot of time & effort working through, understanding, and testing in light of the Panda updates.

    Some of you may know we are about to release "Traffic $100k Blueprint" - which will be available, probably Friday, to "Adsense $100k Blueprint" customers first, and at a significant discount. The following week it will be launched publicly.

    We are working on having Version 2 of A100k finished and released not more than a few weeks after T100k comes out.

    Anyone who has purchased A100k, at any time, will be getting Version 2 as soon as it is released, free. In fact, once you buy A100k, you will get all future updates, always for free (we'll be doing the same for T100k).

    The new version will have expanded info relevant to the Panda updates, some new sections, case-studies, etc. If you are sitting on the fence in purchasing the course, you needn't be since you will also get Version 2 as soon as it's available.

      Thanks for that cypherslock!

      Now that T100k is done - at least the writing - all efforts are on finishing A100k V2. I hope to have it wrapped up in about 2 weeks.

      All T100k customers will automatically be sent the new version, free. In fact, for each product, once you buy, you'll get every future update, new release, etc.

        T100k looks like the kind of thing that anyone who is interested in building a solid business should get hold of. I'm only just starting on it (the main book is 128 pages and that's real pages like in a real book, not double spaced huge font!) and I can see that it is well structured and presented.

        It is so refreshing to get something where you feel you've got real value, as I've bought too many $5+ products so far, that weren't even worth opening, let alone paying for.

        It is too early for me to say yet, but it looks like this could be the definitive Traffic Guide - wish I had written it! The amazing thing though, is all the further releases that will come included as a part of this initial purchase.

      Tiffany Dow had one of her Adsense sites dropped, but the reason isn't known. She did review the course, however that is not the review.

        While there were no actual issues - no one has claimed any problem related to having an attribution link in our theme, which is common practice with most everyone who provides themes - we have went ahead and removed them, plus provided downloads and simple instructions for anyone wanting to remove it from their earlier theme.

      Hi webn,

      I want to make sure you don't mis-understand; on the sales page, that is an example of a site we built using the Blueprint. It went from zero-just-registered, to over $100/day in 90 days (reached $415/day at about 7 months).

      This is not 'typical', and we're not intending to suggest that someone just picking up the course will achieve that. This is what we were able to achieve, with full understanding & familiarity of the methods, long experience building these sites, etc.

      For someone with little or no experience - and the course was designed with newbies in mind - you aren't likely to see $100/day in 90 days on your first efforts.

      Realistically, we say that for a newbie, it would be reasonable to expect your first few efforts to reach $25-$30/day in 90-120 days.

      As your experience increases, and you become more familiar with the Blueprint, the concepts behind it, the tools, etc., your results will improve.

        Thank you for your quick reply.

        2. Could you tell me what other investment required for the course? I've no skill in good writing.
        3. What other tools I need to buy? if any. How much will those cost(average)?
        4. How site I can handle at a time if i outsource the writing part?

          Hi Webn,

          The "$25-$30/day in 90-120 days" is the expectation level we try to set for those new to Adsense or internet marketing in general. The 'average' is higher, but that takes into account those with experience. In particular, if you pursue the course and it's strategies, your own numbers will go up as you gain experience doing it. 6 months from now, you would find that the sites you build do considerably better than the ones you build when you begin.

          We purposely designed the course so that no additional investments are necessary, other than hosting and the cost for domain names.

          Similarly, no paid tools are required. While we do talk about some paid tools in the course, we always provide examples using free tools. You can do everything without having to buy any additional tools, software, etc., and there isn't any huge disadvantage.

          In terms of "how many" - we suggest for those new to this to begin with just one or two sites. Once you get through all the steps, you'll have a much better sense of what to do, how long it takes, etc.

          For those who have gone through the whole course, and are outsourcing the writing, it's not too difficult to build a few new sites each week, providing you have the time to stick with them. Most of the work is in getting the site up: choosing your niche and your keyword phrase group, getting the initial content, getting everything put together and launched, etc. Once a site is up, there is an "Action Plan" for getting them ranked, your daily & weekly backlinking. This can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour or two per site, again depending on your level of experience. Generally speaking, once you're familiar with it all, you want to be able to devote 20 minutes per site per day after they've been built and launched.

        This is "Adsense $100k Blueprint", or 'A100k' - a course on building an Adsense business.

        We recently released "Traffic $100k Blueprint" (or 'T100k'), a completely separate and different course on traffic & internet marketing. There is a separate review thread for that course here: http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...nt-review.html

        The Adsense course was originally released last October. While it has had numerous updates, 'Version 2' is a more substantial, course-wide update which will be released on 9/26.

        Hi outwest,

        The Adsense course (A100k) has now been out for almost exactly one year (I released a 'pre-launch' draft on BTF in October). It is pretty well tested & proven, with many, many successes.

        There have been numerous "in-line" updates - small tweaks, etc. - in the last year; the current download is revision 9.

        We're about to release Version 2, the first 'major' overhaul and update. It's the same course with the same objectives - building a strong, sustainable Adsense business - but essentially re-written to integrate all the changes that have occurred over the last year, particularly "Panda". The "Action Plan" section, which lays out a day-by-day and week-by-week plan of action for getting your Page 1 rankings has been entirely re-done, since "Panda" has fundamentally changed what we have to do - and not do - in terms of content and backlinking.

        At the risk of sounding somewhat arrogant, I believe this is the first truly effective content & backlinking ranking plan out there. Among the things we've learned, tested, tweaked, etc., is that there is MUCH more to reliable, repeatable ranking after "Panda" than most people realize. In fact, much of the course re-writing has been in order to reflect the seismic shift that "Panda" has imposed on content writing, site design & layout, and the 'how', 'what', 'where', and valuation of backlink types & positions.

        Fwiw, due to a screw-up in re-assembling the final PDF (mixed up some earlier section rewrites and didn't catch it right away), we're a day behind schedule. The link for Version 2 will be going out late tomorrow night (Tuesday) instead of tonight.

        The Adsense course is intended to show you how to 'duplicate' our Adsense business, and get similar results.

        The Traffic course is about how & where to get free traffic, plus 7 individual guides for making money with different business models, again based on what we do ourselves. There is a review thread here: http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...nt-review.html

        Both courses are extremely "newbie-friendly", and have intentionally been written so that anyone with just a little basic IM exposure could use them to their benefit.

        For all of our courses, all updates, new versions, etc. are free for life.

        Michael

      If you bought right now, the download is Version 1. Tomorrow night (9/27) we're replacing the current download with the new version, and emailing a link to download the new version to all customers. If you buy after tomorrow, the download will already be Version 2.

      Everyone who bought Version 1 will get a link to download Version 2. You'd then toss your V1 PDF.

      Honestly, you might as well wait, unless you really wanted to 'dig in' tonight (much of the beginnings of the course remain the same - the explanations of our methods, and the niche & keyword selection strategies).

    I imagine the kw search strategies are similar or the same but the backlinking strategies might differ a lot, or the depth of content in each site might be more dense now since panda hates thin sites

    thanks I am looking forward to the new one

    Out of interest, what's the backlinking strategy like? Do they recommend outsourcing or doing it yourself?

      Hi cypherslock,

      When it rains, it pours...

      The 'target' date was Monday. On Sunday we found we had inadvertantly stitched back in some earlier draft sections (ok, -I- had done that, not -we-...) Took most of Monday to return it to where it was. Spent alot of Tuesday (yesterday) proofing, and will be making it available later today.

      As for the Kindle, I think I remember promising you we'd do that. I stand by that. I have a CreateSpace account, and will commit to having a Kindle version for you by end-of-week.

      Michael

      PS - thanks for your patience!

      *** UPDATE ***

      Version 2 of "Adsense $100k Blueprint" has been 'wrapped up', and a download link has been sent to all V1 customers.

      Anyone who purchases from this point forward will be downloading Version 2.

      While it is the same course, and much of the original PDF remains the same, it has been extensively re-written, along with additions to many sections, and some entirely new sections added.

      The entire course has been "Pandalized". While Version 1 advocated above-board 'safe' practices, much has changed in this new post-"Panda" world - more I think than many people yet realize.

      As with the earlier version, everything is based on our own efforts with our own sites. We radically 'enhanced' our content strategies, and completely re-vamped the ranking "action plan" to make it effective in light of "Panda", and tested it to be sure the results were repeatable. We've spent a LOT of time testing and tracking different backlinking strategies through trial-and-error, and “reality-tested” what we were seeing against what other expert SEO's were doing and seeing.

      The new version is free to everyone who purchased the original course.

        Many thanks for finally releasing it, will report back once I have some results.

        Hello Michael,
        We haven't met, but I am one of your early users of A100K. Following your training I have a couple or three page one and page one number one sites that are still making money. (Then I moved onto the next new thing.)

        Your update comes at a great time as I'm planning out my next new Adsense site, this time in the highly competitive auto biz racket. It's a SUPER refresher for me just at the time I need it. (I committed V1 to memory.)

        That my sites never made me rich was more about my choice of topic, etc. Mainly, your approach worked for me as it will anyone who is serious about it.

        So, I was a little surprised when your mail showed up with version II. I started reading, looking for the "updated" price.

        There was none. Jeez. FREE Update!

        Michael, you don't bug me all the time with dumb mails...and when you do show up on my copy of Thunderbird, out of the blue, you GIVE me free updates. What kind of clever marketing strategy is this?

        I stopped in the middle of my reading of V2 to come here and give you my HIGHEST FIVE STAR rating. I just wish I was one of these gurus around here so's my HIGH FIVE would carry some weight.

        Warrior friends...You CAN NOT go wrong with Adsense 100K. This is one of those rare masterpieces. It's not gimmick based. No cheap bar tricks. Just good info. Monsterful good training for new guys and masterful training for the rest.

        You did good Michael!


        Sincerely,
        Norm


        PS...Nope, I'm not affiliate selling this course, and last time I checked I wasn't related to the authors. Woof!

      That link is for the traffic course, not the Adsense course.

      The sales page for that is at Adsense $100k Blueprint

      It is the same sales page, but when you purchase, the download link is for the new version. What we did is replace the 'old' zip file so that it's now the new version.

      Aw shucks...

      Thanks James. We decided very early on, we don't need to try and wring every penny from every one and every thing we could. In the long run, this is really a better business model for me. It's easier, I sleep better, it's more satisfying, and as long as I'm not broke - I'm not - we're sticking with the "you only have to buy our product once" philosophy.

    Hi Thanks I purchased The Adsense 100k (I assume the new one downloaded, )
    looks great

    One question,
    as far as CPC, you show the CPC in your tutorial as the one which displays in the adwords kw search. I have a friend who has been in adsense for years and he said this is number is NOT the CPC number for Adsense that advertisers are charged to display on webmasters sites like ours, this is the CPC that advertisers are charged to run ads on Google.com, and those CPC are WAY higher than the CPC which is for webmasters sites, since our traffic varies in quality considerably.
    He says to use the "contextual" tool on Adwords tool, to get a more accurate CPC number

    I do know that the numbers I have seen in the contextual tool , sometimes vary wildly from the CPC in the standard adwords search

    for example, go to the Adwords tool and enter
    mesothelioma


    and you get mesothelioma attorney texas $202.00 something like that
    then in the contextual tool it says $3+ for that term

    So Basically which CPC numbers are the best numbers to use?

    Oh I guess this is a taboo topic, but I am not asking people to say how much their CPC is, just which CPC number tool is accurate

    ________________

    Also a real quick question about
    PR if you dont mind
    in the Adsense 100k you talk about you like to find sites with PR4 or less in certain top 10 positions
    I notice you dont talk much about onpage SEO (Title, desc, url, header)
    what if you find the top sites are all high PR but they are all N N N N in Market Samurai for the onpage SEO

    would you still ignore those kws because the PR is so high?

    Edit, I just views a top 10 spread on Market Samurai where the guy had a PR 3 going up against the top two sites which are PR6
    the top 2 sites were N N N N on onpage SEO
    whereas this guy was Y Y Y Y on his onpage SEO
    they still outranked him , the PR6 sites , even though he has Y Y Y Y

    so perhaps the PR trumps the onpage SEO

      Hi Kay,

      I apologize for the inconvenience; there was a brief period that the zip file of the old version was renamed improperly. If you go ahead and download it again, you'll have version 2.

      I'm not sure what might have bounced as I did see the support email. I've just sent a reply.

      Hi Mike,

      Wow - you read the entire thread from the beginning... I feel like you should get a discount or something for that! :p

      You'll find the focus to be somewhat different from what you're used to with Clickbank and Amazon sites, but I can also tell you that a lot of what you'll get from the course will help you make those efforts better; in particular, you'll be able to "Pandalize" all your efforts.

      Michael

      PS - sent you a PM

          Hi Sanjay,

          Yes, I saw your post in the 'Introductions' thread on the forum - and I did do "something special" for you; you're "something special" was my personal 'Welcome' post to you...

          I don't want to use this thread for support questions; since you're on the forum, PM me there or start a thread, and I'll chime in. For what you're asking though, it's not going to be hard or long.

    This course looks like it has plenty of good reviews, but i currently have about 22 sites already. I really don't want to start from scratch considering how much time and investment i have put in. Can anyone tell me how much of this can i apply to sites that i already own. How much does it go into traffic, and the last question is how much are you making. Any suggestions would help, and also does the product have a money back guaruntee. I'm not a chronic refunder i just ask because a lot of what is out there is just rehash, and am tired of wasting money on the same old info. Any suggestions would help.

      We get a LOT of feedback, directly and via our 2000+ member private forum, and so I can tell you there are a LOT of people making money with it.

      More importantly perhaps, the IM world is changing - profoundly, and pretty rapidly. As far as I know, this is the only course of it's kind that takes "Panda" - and other changes - fully into account, and that's by people who are very up on it and testing accordingly.

      Regardless of what you have now, I would bet you could benefit from the updates and "Panda" guidance.

      So as not to sound self-serving, I'll let others answer the qualitative questions.

      The course does have a 60-day money-back guarantee.

      I think you will be able to find a lot of nuggets within the Blueprint that will help with each part of the process to build a great Adsense site - areas such as niche selection, keyword selection, backlinking for higher rankings etc. I was able to apply the stuff I learned from the Blueprint to expand an existing site, upping the income from less than $50 a month to over $500 a month. Hope you find success.

    Hey Everyone,

    I just bought this course and read through it. It's very comprehensive and detailed. I'm grateful it is written so that non-tech types like me can understand. I also joined the forum. I like the step-by-step nature of the "blueprint." I've already started on the first steps in the course and feel like I have a valid plan for success. I'll post back with results.

      Hi Edward,

      The course revolves around building 'mini-authority' sites. If you follow the actual Blueprint, you'll start off with a 10-20 page site.

      What we do is develop a 'keyword phrase group': an initial 'seed' or 'core' keyword phrase - essentially what the site is about - then generate a group of 10-15 keyword phrases related to the 'core' keyword phrase.

      For each of the keyword phrases, we build a 'target' page. This allows to funnel and focus our ranking efforts, one keyword phrase per page.

      Once we've achieved our Page 1 rankings, at least for most of our target keyword phrases, we have some options: maintain the site and bank the daily revenue, flip the site, or continue to build it out.

      We go into each option. Personally, and in the course, I advocate keeping some sites, and flipping some, usually around half & half.

      For sites we keep, using Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools, along with our keyword tools, we can always 'expand' the site, adding more and more keyword phrases & target pages.

      Generally, we'll know pretty quickly whether we've chosen a niche and keyword phrase group that has 'legs' - good opportunities for expansion. Those are the ones we want to keep expanding. To give you an idea, I began one site with a keyword phrase group of 8 keywords. It reached appx. $75/day in a few months, so I began expanding it. At around 9 months, it had about 25 'target' keyword phrases, and was netting more than $300/day. Obviously this isn't the typical, but as you build Blueprint sites, just through experience, you tend to 'pick' better niches & keywords, and as a result end up with a higher percentage of 'winners' that do very well, and can be expanded - in some cases, far beyond their original keyword phrase group.

      Back to your original question, for a basic Blueprint site, between your target keyword phrase pages, and 'supporting' posts (articles), you end up with perhaps 25-50 pages. In maintaining the site, you continually add new posts, but that's a pretty good base average.

      Hi Marceauct,

      We have a whole section on our forum, "Success Stories". At last count - earlier today - there were 857 posts, with appx. 70 running 'success story' threads.

      Of course, I'm the author of the course, but to the degree you can accept my reply, I can tell you there are hundreds who have had some degree of success, and probably close to one hundred that I know of with significant success.

      Considering that many people buy courses, products, software, etc., and never pursue it, or move on to something else, etc., we've seen a tremendous success rate.

      All that said, this is NOT a 'get rich quick' scheme. In fact, in the intro I make it a point to say this - and that it isn't a 'scheme' at all. This is a serious, time-tested & proven plan for building a successful, sustainable, long-term Adsense business. The course has been out for almost a year and a half. In that time, I've done 9 "in-line" updates, and two complete versions. The most recent being a full updating & re-write to Version 2, released about 3 months ago. The course was brought fully up-to-date, reflecting our current Adsense business, and integrating Panda, the 'new rules' for content & backlinking, etc.

      To achieve success with the course, you should expect to put in some quality time & effort. We show you what to do, precisely how to do it, and why it works the way it does. However, the 'doing' is up to you. Without a commitment in time and effort, it isn't likely to bring much success. By putting in the time & effort, however, you will be copying a known-working, current, and thoroughly tested strategy and business model.

    I am really interested in buying this course, but I have a few questions. From the reviews I have read I have no doubt that this course is great, I just need to know if building adsense sites is a business model I want to focus on right now.

    So my questions are:
    - How quickly can I expect to get a site on the first page of google and be earning some money?
    - Do I have to write the content myself or do you show us how to outsource the content? And how much will it cost (approximately) to outsource the content?

      Hello Highrider21,

      Regarding content, the current Version 2 has sections on both copy writing and outsourcing. We spend a significant amount of time going over the 'new rules' for successful content, including optimization, spinning, etc., and tell you both how to write it, and how to outsource it.

      In fact, we've just recently added a new online section on outsourcing with some of the best info & resources you'll see anywhere.

      The cost will vary widely, mostly by how you go about it. We show you how you can get quality articles for as little as $1/ea., however it take a bit more effort. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay between $5-$15 per article if you go the more traditional freelance route, but again we tell you how to do that properly, and the cost is more a factor of how much effort you're willing to put in to get yourself set up with quality, inexpensive writers.

      Unfortunately, your first question is more difficult to answer. I'll point you to a similar question I answered here, posts #363 & #365:

      http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...ml#post4513877

    Hi iRunThis,

    I'm taking your question to mean: is the current course as effective now with all the Google updates, as the original course was when it was released, before those newer Google updates?

    If I'm reading it correctly, it's a very good and valid question!

    The truth is, before last February, it simply was easier to do well with Adsense, or any business model that relied largely on ranking and organic traffic.

    Among many other effects, these ongoing updates have really changed the game as far as ranking and organic traffic are concerned, and Adsense has become stricter along with them.

    That said, our in-house Adsense business is thriving, and the course is entirely based on it, literally. It's essentially a step-by-step 'how to' for duplicating our business.

    In practice, it's harder to do, but we've already 'done the work', figuring out how to achieve & maintain success in this new "Internet Marketing 2.0" environment. We've tested, optimized, tweaked, and re-tested every aspect of our in-house business, and all of that is reflected in the course.

    If you follow the course, you'll achieve the same level of success you would have when we first released it. It will take slightly longer, and the steps are a little more involved and precise, but the results are the same.

      Hi jdooley,

      We actually have a number of threads on our forum discussing and tracking this.

      To date, we have heard numerous instances of sites with a few specific themes hit by what appears to be the 'Page Layout' update and have dropped considerably.

      No one has seen any of their sites using our themes get hit.

      That said, we're releasing a new version of one of our themes that further maximizes the content above-the-fold just to be safe.

      And as with everything else we do, those who bought the course continue to get all upgrades, upgrades, revisions, etc. for free.

        I have 2 WP templates which I downloaded but should there be a 3rd? A newer/updated one?

        And should I be making 'pages' as opposed to posts for my keyword group? What if my keywords are really long: "best red widgets in the world to buy", how can that long ass keyword be the title of a page in WP? Several of those will look a mess :confused:

          Hi Cesar,

          There are currently 2 custom themes - one was recently replaced with a modified version.

          That said, we're close to releasing a new, very robust and highly-configurable custom theme. Should be available around the end of the month.

          For your targeted phrases, the ones you're trying to rank for, you want individual Pages.

          Generally speaking, you shouldn't be targeting keyword phrases that long as primary keywords. In your example above, the target keyword phrase would probably be "best red widgets". Within that effort, you would work in those longer-tail variations, and as such would 'naturally' see rankings for them. What you don't want to do is create a keyword phrase group of obvious 'keyword variations' and target them individually. That will get you hit, and effectively tank your entire effort.

          There are some very good and detailed discussions of this on our forum. If you don't have access, PM me - I'll either arrange access for you, or get some of the info to you directly.

          Michael

            OK, now I am confused :confused: I thought the blueprint was advising me to do exactly that! At least that is my understanding of what I've read. No disrespect, but if doing this part wrong could potentially get me hit, then I beleive the blueprint could have expanded on this area a little more. At present, its dealt with in just a few sentences and for a newbie, like me, following it word for word, creating a keyword phrase group of keyword variations, as per blueprint example, is exactly what we're gonna do.

            So good job I asked the question before I created my WP pages.

At present, its dealt with in just a few sentences and for a newbie, like me, following it word for word, creating a keyword phrase group of keyword variations, as per blueprint example, is exactly what we're gonna do.

              Hi Cesar,

              We can't use the review thread for support, but as your post does have a bearing on the focus and effectiveness of the course, I'm hoping the mods won't consider it a support thing.

              Separately, I'm sending you a PM as well.

              What I was referring to, and I believe the Blueprint is pretty clear about (in fact, you might have the right thing in mind and we're just getting stuck on semantics), is the difference between a "keyword-centric" keyword group, and a "topic-centric" keyword group.

              I also think this focus has a lot to do with why, almost 2 years later, the course still works (even after Penguin, we have seen *very* few A100k sites get hurt - and we have the benefit of hearing from thousands of users through our forum).

              Typically, internet marketers will come up with a niche or topic, then find a 'good' keyword (high volume, low competition). From there, most will use keyword tools to expand that into a group of related keyword phrases.

              The problem is that you end up with what is very obviously a "keyword-centric" site, rather than a topical authority site. And Google has learned to identify these - and slam them.

              What we teach is how to find a suitable niche, then find a good 'root' keyword, and expand it into a group of relevant keyword phrases.

              As a result, you end up with a site that's built to be about the topic, not just keyword variations of opportunity.

              Michael

                So by "a group of relevant keyword phrases", are you talking about LSI keywords of this root keyword? Like what Google would suggest at the bottom of the SERPS on a search for the root keyword?

                Are you saying to use this root keyword for your main wordpress PAGE article and use the "relevant keyword phrases" (LSI keywords) for other supporting posts? Or would the "relevant keyword phrases" be used in the article with the root keyword, which is what I always understood to be the way of doing it?

      I'd actually hoped to have it available on Monday, but was delayed by another unrelated project.

      It'll probably be available tomorrow (Thursday), but no later than Friday.

      As far as switching over, yes - it's a transparent 'swap'. You simply upload it as you would any theme, and choose it from your 'Manage Themes' console (Appearance/Themes). It will inherit all your settings, your content remains as-is, etc. In fact, everything will look & act the same, except we've 'shrunk' the above-the-fold ad space, replacing a "Large Rectangle" adblock (336x280) with a centered "Half Banner" (234x60). With the borderless ad blending we've used, the difference is striking - the site looks and feels far less "ad-heavy" - and it wasn't too "ad-heavy" to begin with - while maintaining 90% of the CTR optimization.

        Hi Fuzz,

        Thanks for purchasing.

        Yes, that issue has been fixed - though I want to point out that we didn't consider it an issue, since virtually every theme has an attribution link pointing back to the developer, and that there has not been a single instance of anyone suggesting that it caused them a problem. That said, we made the decision to remove all attribution links - the footer links you're referring to. As a result, there is nothing in either theme that links to or mentions 'A100k'.

        As for the themes, we recently released a new version of our 'Zone' theme with a better 'above the fold' profile. This was to insure that sites using that theme stay well on the 'safe' side of things following Google's 'Page Layout' algorithm update.

        I am purchased this yesterday and left of on page 38. I am going to stop going all over warrior forum and looking for shortcuts to making money and all of this information overload and gives 100k adsense blue print all of my attention for the next month or 2. I need to stick to the plan. I learn so much already. I was thinking about buying micro niches but after watching that webinar I learn that soon might go down and get deindex since micro miche don't carry that much quality content and panda and the new updates are going to go down on this sites. I am going to concentrate really well on this course and try to make it work, even though I don't know anything about adsense and I have 6 adsense sites built for me on warrior forum and only 1 of them is making me about 1 dollar a day. But hopefully this course will teach me how to make good money with just 1 mini authority site instead of havind a whole bunch of micro niche adsense sites.

        The only problem is that I didn't joined the 17 dollar per month forum, so I was wondering if I could email someone who can help me if I get stuck and give me hand.

        Thanks everyone!. This course looks solid!

          Wow I am on page 47 and I just discover that after 2 years I have been analizing the competition the wrong way. That is why I quit chris farrell membership because most of the things there are very outdated. Don't get me wrong, it is great just to get your feet wet but at the same time you don't want to be learning things that don't work anymore and then only to find out that things are not done like that anymore. This 100k adsense blue prints is teaching me how to really analize the seo competition and do proper sub niches high volume keyword phrases.

          So far so good. When I finish reading it I am going to read it again to make sure I have everything down pack. This is pretty awesome.

          Well in a way I was kind of doing this by myself before I purchased this course.

          I would go into google keyword tool. I sign in so I get get the cpc value and get more searches. I would select exact match only.

          Then I click on the highest keyword phrase that has high competition and a high cpc. Then all I would do is going into market samurai, choose a new project, put in that keyword, and then go to seo competition to analize the top 10 pages. I would only look at the top 3 results, even though market samurai shows you the top 10. All I would do is see if all of the fields are green. For exmaple, intitle, in url, is description, in head, page rank, age domain. If it was too hard I would go back to google keyword tool and chose the next keyword with high searches and high cpc and start all over with market samurai to assess the seo competition.

          That is all there is to it. Then you just have to build a quality site by getting great quality articles which you can easily find here on warrior forum.

          One thing I didn't know is that the earning per click is calculated by looking at the cpc value and nultiplying that by 60%

          So for example if dog training $1.67x60%= $1.00 would be the epc= earning per click

          Wow I am soooo into this course. Is very updated!

          Awesome stuff!

      I am brand new to IM but I have been reading about IM and really investigating it for the past few weeks almost as a full-time job. I want to build an internet business and I didn't find out about your product until earlier today when I joined the War room on the advice of other members. I went out on the internet to get other reviews of the product and have not found any bad info. I am currently downloading the product as I write this email (lousy internet here in Afghanistan, I can't wait to leave this place) and will be diving into your product over the next few days. I have to say I am excited to start reading and doing because of all the positive reviews I have gotten from others. Thanks in advance for putting together an IM plan to follow in this world of information overload.

        I've been researching adsense for the last few days. I primarily work offline but have just "toyed" with adsense on and off for a couple of years. Never made any serious money but never really tried.

        I came across the 100k adsense blueprint and see that the first posts go back to feb 2010. I was wondering if the program is still relevant, has been updated, and still has support. It's certainly priced to sell!

          Hi David,

          There were 9 'in-line' updates of the original Version 1 course. Last October, we did a complete re-write in order to address Panda and other changes that had occurred since it's release (I should note, the course was originally written for long-term, sustainable results, and those who followed it from the beginning had few if any problems).

          Version 2 is a fully-updated course, with a ton of info on Panda, new ranking and backlinking steps, new content guidelines, etc.

          Since then, we've continued updating, most recently modifying one of the custom theme's we provide to insure safe compliance with the recent 'Page Layout' algorithm update.

          We have appx. 2,500 members on our forum, most of whom are using the course. This translates into a very vibrant and supportive community, with info, answers, success stories, etc., that are literally up-to-the-minute.

          Myself and Adam, my partner, are on the forum daily, along with additional support people.

          I know of no other similar course as up-to-date and heavily supported as A100k.

          We're also midway through Version 3, to be released around end-of-April. Version 3 expands the course significantly.

          As with everything we do, it's a 'pay once' policy: all updates, upgrades, etc. are free for life. Those who bought the course in 2010 or yesterday are fully up-to-date.

          We also send out regular newsletters with new info, tips, etc.

          Hope that helps!

          Michael

            Thanks for the reply Michael. Actually I went ahead and purchased it this afternoon. I can already say that your support dept. got back to me within minutes with one of my questions.

            Reading through the manual and watched a few of the videos. At first I wasn't going to bother watching the WP Setup Video because I've set up dozens of WP sites. However, I'm glad I did! I was able to pick up at least three pointers that I've been overlooking for quite some time.

            So I guess I'll be seeing you in the forum.

    Hi Todd,

    The themes we provide were optimized specifically for certain types of niche sites. They're intended to be used for 'informational' types of sites - informational niches, as opposed to 'product-centric' types of sites.

    You won't have any problem transitioning to the themes, but again they're designed for max click-through on informational sites, and will not have as good click-through for product-centric sites.

    That said, you can use the A100k ranking strategies for any site or theme.

    It's been a while since I updated this thread...

    I had one site de-indexed in March, as a result of using SEOLinkmonster for backlinks. Lesson learned. I remember Michael (the author of the course) saying he thought it was only a matter of time before Google started acting against these blog network - I can't remember whether it was during a webinar or in one of their newsletters. It was probably 6 months ago, but he was completely right.

    I have not started any new Blueprint sites recently. I had planned on launching a new one each month, but have had too many other irons in the fire, and have been scared because of the de-indexing of my other site. Fortunately, it wasn't an Adsense site.

    As of March 31, daily earnings on my two Adsense Blueprint sites averages approximately $65 per day (I earned $2,215 for the month, but that includes about $250 from one other site, plus my Adsense 'share' from Hubpages).

    I also sold one of my Adsense Blueprint sites in February for $8010 (this one was hovering just over $25 per day average since November).

    I joined their 100k Results membership and have been trying to absorb all the training. Like the Adsense course, it's the best I've ever seen for what it is. I'm hoping to use it as my springboard to branch out to new types of opportunities including mobile marketing.

    The forum has really taken off with the new membership program. I have a lot more enthusiasm and hope for my earnings this year than I did at the beginning of the year. I hope others find as much opportunity this year as well.

      Also, I have built my fair share of wp sites and I am wondering if I would be able to build say 5 of these sites at a time. I understand these are more authority type sites and will require lots of content etc...But would it be possible to be creating 5 at a time? all at the same stage of their development?

      I bought the original $100k Blueprint and then got the version two with the post Panda updates and it really made me think more carefully about research and building solid sites.

      The resources section is also really useful and the themes that come with the program have been updated too.

      Using this process I have less sites but they are much higher quality and better earning so you are in this for the long term not just a short "hit and hope" effort that doesn't reward you with any results. You do need to put in some work to get these sites up and running but the time investment pays you back if you follow the blueprint.

      The support from Adam has been amazing - he was kind enough to review one of my sites and gave me some great advice on how to improve it particularly around structure of posts supporting pages and ensuring my post titles weren't too spammy.

      I haven't got the heart to sell one of these sites yet on Flippa although I'm pretty sure they would do well. When I need to finance another project I know I've got real assets to use.

      Highly recommend this for people who want to build solid sites. You get to see real examples in blueprint too so that really helps.

    Thanks dtone,

    We went to great lengths to insure that anyone following the course would get reliably repeatable results.

    We also put a lot of effort into explaining and following Panda 'guidelines'.

    And since we had separate 'Resources' sections for each course, and that's the sort of thing that is outdated before it's even distributed, we changed our model:

    We've now combined all our 'Resources' sections and put them online, insuring they are up-to-date, and so we could continue to add to and enhance them.

    Right now, I'd say we have perhaps one of the very best listings of free resources, lists, etc. that internet marketers need.

    The new 'Resources' site, which is free, is now on it's own domain at: 100kresources.com

      Hi. I got this guide the other day and working my way through it now. It contains loads of great tips etc, but to be honest, its not laid out in the most 'easy-to-read' way. Its very conversational and reads well, but I've got to keep going back through the whole darned thing to find what was mentioned earlier.
      For example, I know for sure they mention using their particular WP theme, but I can't for the life of me find where that section is now! (or did I dream it?) If someone - anyone, could please point me in the right direction of where to find the 'theme' I'd be extremely grateful. Because right now, I've found my niche, gt keyword etc....and STUCK on finding the theme. :confused:

        Hi Cesar,

        Not sure I'm understanding the question, but if you're asking where to find the custom themes that come with the course, they are available on the download page that you received after purchase.

        If you don't have it / didn't save it, you can go either send a support email (support@100kblueprint.com) or open a ticket at our helpdesk and ($100k Blueprint Support Center), and we'll reset & resend your download page.

        If you're asking about the main course PDF, there's a section "Installing Wordpress", but most of the installation, theme configuration, etc. is presented through the tutorial videos, also available from your download page.

        Lastly, our private forum has a ton of info, tips, plugins and other downloads, etc., specifically on Wordpress, our custom themes, using other themes, etc.

        Hope that helps; if I'm missing the mark completely, let me know, or send us a message via support.

        Michael

      Hi affordableweb,

      We have almost 100 individual threads on our "Success Stories" board in our private forum (96 to be exact). Each is posted by someone who bought and followed A100k.

      Some of the "Success Stories" have become 'success stories' in themselves: customers who posted their success - in some cases their first-ever IM success - and continued to update their thread as they progressed further & further.

      Of those, some have stretched to 5+ pages, with dozens & dozens of posts, and read like a diary of achievements, continually reaching new traffic, rankings, and earnings milestones.

      I have to say this is a thoroughly proven, time-tested course, and probably one of the only courses or complete business models that can say this: the underlying strategic model has been so effective that in all the time from it's first release in October 2010, up through Panda and the most recent 'Webspam' ("Penguin") updates, we have not heard of any customers who have strictly adhered to our strategy & tactics losing sites or experiencing penalties. And that's with thousands of sites out there.

      I can also tell you that I personally know of many, many customers who have reached $100k and more. I would not hold my breath on seeing them post here, as they are probably not following this review thread. But some of them do post on our forum

    The reason i am asking for the release date of version 3.0 is that I do not want to unlearn or relearn from the old stuff to the new stuff. It will be confusing to compare what has changed since version 2.0. So I might as well start with the latest version.
    I understand it is scheduled to release end of this month. Is it on schedule?

      Hi Scorpion,

      It will be released mid to end of May.

      The 'blog syndication massacre' and recent 'Penguin' ("Webspam") updates have pushed the date back, as we made the decision to put a considerable effort behind educating and supporting our forum members & customers.

    The 100K Adsense Blueprint is a pretty solid system. If you are interested in making money with Adsense websites and new to Adsense I would say give it a go.

    I went trough it pretty quickly. The course comes with the mail manual "Adsense $100K Blueprint V2.0 - 2011" + 10 super well done videos covering a lot of material in great detail.

    Also included are 2 themes, plugins, tracking material and a BONUS folder.

    Like I said IF you have never made money with Google Adsense before this is a great place to start.

      It might be a good course, but the idea or business model of adsense sites (MFA sites) might not be advisable nowadays, especially with Google coming up with updates left and right.

      To anyone who's built MFA sites, how are they doing now?

        If you act according to the Adsense 100K Blueprint than I do not think you are going to have any trouble. The problem is this that this require work and mostly people are not ready for that.

        Google try his best to give its user a good quality experience about search results. He did not want that craps are planted on his first page. and he will do anything to cut the crap.

        100K blueprint advice to work with google instead of against the google. google wants to give its user great information and 100K blueprint gives advice on building such a site in such a way that it gives quality and useful information to its user and soon you find that google try to rank your site in the first page itself.

        100K blueprint also focus on how to get more and more click upto 50% (which i never got till now but they claim) using white hat techniques

        oooopppppssssssssssss look like i am advertising 100K. So i stopped here, But i have to say that if you want the best course on adsense which survive all the panda etc. and wanted to earn decent income than act according to 100K guide.

    I must confess I have tried launching multiple adsense rich niche sites and found the time required to maintain them was totally disproportionate to what I was actually earning. There must be a better business model that requires less time, especially if you are involved in several business interests.

    Having said that, this thread has attracted my attention and has enough positive comment (and realistic reviews) I am thinking of taking the plunge and throwing in my lot with these guys.

    I am desperately trying to stay focussed - consistency, hard work and perseverance are definitely the ingredients once you hit on the right business model - yes, something that makes your heart beat faster!

      Hmmmmmmm, l tried this about a year ago, and messed up the steps involved. Then after correcting the mistakes, writing tons of articles, etc on 3 kw,s that were viable, it started showing promise with Google adsence, increasing every month.

      It got up to $6 per month before some Google update destroyed it. But even after adding tons more content to get my site back to about 90 visitors per day, the adsence hasn't come back, and is about $1.50 per month.

      I can add a lot more content, etc, but after months of writing articles, and doing everything else to the letter, with not much change, l would say that any system that concentrates on Google, can be risky, and the right website, blog, niche etc could be the difference between months of effort producing little, or potentially a lot!

    I bought this product but only made one website..and still not making money on it. It's because I made a wrong choice of keyword and keywords group. But I didn't say the product is useless...it's a good product and the support is superb but you have to join the forum to benefit more. To be able to make money on adsense your site or blog must land #1 on the first page of Google. So, keyword research (low competition, high search volume & over $1 PPC) is the #1 factor.

    I bought into the trio of 100K programs, they are without doubt the best out there regarding Adsense, but like everything in life worthwhile, you have to follow it through to the letter.

    It is not a get rich quick program, but a sustained business model and that after all is what people should be trying to do. It does take work and it will take time, but if you apply yourself fully it will be worth it.

    I have found, as others have found, as you will find, that you will get there in the end if you follow the right path. I think the most important part is getting the right niche and keywords, otherwise you will find the journey that much harder.

          Hi Murel,

          We've essentially finished it, and have been doing final proofing, layout, etc. We're also trying to coordinate with some partners who will be promoting it.

          I expect we'll be sending something out to the existing customers this week, and making it available to all the following week.

          Fwiw, this one's a *monster* - we've put a huge amount of time, effort, and testing into it, considerable more than the last version, largely because it expands the scope considerably.

          Version 2 updated everything in Version 1 with what we learned and were able to test as far as Panda goes.

          Version 3 is a complete ground-up re-write, based on up-to-the-minute Panda and Penguin info, all of which is tested.0

              Hi Foley,

              You bet - everyone who bought A100k gets free upgrades for life. That's over 3,000 people who are getting Version 3 for free. And you're one of them!

              Current customers also get it before it's available for purchase, before anyone else.

              Fwiw, that's always been our policy, on everything we sell, and we've made good on it every time.

              Michael

              PS - 'V3' is coming very soon... and it's a *monster*. If you thought Version 2 was good... I think you'll be pleased lol!

      Hi mandude,

      You're in luck!

      First, the pricing for V3 will remain the same - $47. That means you can buy it now as V2 for the same price that V3 will sell for, and start going through the various parts, videos, etc.

      Second, current product owners get the upgrade for free - as is the case for every upgrade, update, new version, etc., on every product we produce.

      Third, and perhaps most 'luckily'... we are lauching a *KILLER* WSO today (Thursday, 6/28), allowing Warriors to purchase "Adsense $100k Blueprint" for....

      (are you ready for it...?)

      ... (here it comes)

      the ridiculous price of nineteen bucks. That's $19.00. As in, less than twenty bucks.

      Oh, and it includes "Traffic $100k Blueprint" as well.

      Oh, and it also includes lifetime access to our private forum.

      Oh, and it also includes some incredibly valuable 'unannounced' bits & pieces.

      Oh, and it also includes a vast fortune in revenues.

      (Ok, you'll have to actually apply yourself for that last one, but the makings of it are definitely included!).

      Hi All,

      We really appreciate your patience. No one has missed the notice, it hasn't gone out yet. I can tell you it's reeeaaaaallllyyy close though. In all seriousness, there were some (many) unforseen stumbling blocks, but it won't be much longer.

      And as you know, if you've purchased A100k, any version, any legit purchase, you'll be getting V3 for free.

      And if you missed it, the first section was 'leaked' and can be downloaded here: Making Money Online | $100k Blueprint

      V3 is a whole new world...

          Yes, all our products carry the same lifetime upgrades. The sales page doesn't mention V3 because it hasn't been released yet, but anyone who buys any version will get all new releases free.

        Hey Michael,

        Just curious but I noticed on the bottom of the "leaked" version that it say's people who buy V3 will get access to your forums as part of the purchase. Do old buyers get this same lifetime access? Thanks.

            I'm scratching my head right now. I mean, are the forums free for paid members as you stated above? I'm compelled to ask that because I just came from 100KBlueprint dot com and it contradicts what you stated above :confused:

            Here's a statement taken from your website:

            The product is $47 complete, with an optional private membership forum @ $17/month for those who would like to be able to get direct support, etc.

            I'm not a member, not yet, I just discovered your course so one might say that I'm just window shopping right now. Also, are your training videos available online or are they DVD's that are sent via snail mail? I sure hope they're available online as many ultra-thin laptops no longer come with an optical drive like they did back in the day.

            By the way, major points to you for availing yourself here at WF and for interacting with people on your forum. That's very nice of you to do that.

                WOW Michael, that's a very nice, generous gesture on your part. I just purchased your course. Even though I purchased Andrew Hanson's Forever Affiliate last week, I thought it wouldn't hurt to have your course on my bookshelf, so to speak. I like the fact that you delve into flipping websites for profit. I look forward to checking out 100KAdsense and I especially look forward to seeing what the discussion forum is all about, THANK YOU

      There are hundreds of success stories, hundreds of customers who have had significant success, and thousands of A100k sites generating significant revenues.

      You can read of some successes on this thread. We also have a "Success Stories" board on our private forum with over 1,000 posts.

          Version 1 was released in 2010, before Panda or Penguin.

          Version 2 was released towards the end of 2011, after Panda had been around for 10 months. It was updated to address Panda and other updates. We have also done a number of 'inline' updates.

          Version 2 is the current version, and works well. The course itself was built on a business model we had developed & tested so that someone following the course would implement the same business model, and have similar results.

          Version 3, which will be out very soon, takes the basic course and expands it to cover 4 distinct business models, the ones we currently implement for our own sites.

          If you have Version 1, you should have upgraded to Version 2. If you haven't, PM me or fill out a support ticket ($100k Blueprint Support Center) - all upgrades are always free. If you've bought the course, you get every upgrade from then on.

                We're doing those manually for the time being since there are too many bots trying to register.

                If you haven't already received your registration details, PM me or send an email to support@100kblueprint.com

        Hello,
        All your opinions about 100k Adsense Blueprint,impressed me,being decided to buy it.
        But I've just found this article at 100k BluePrint WARNING - Your Site Might Be De-Indexed! | PotPieGirl.com.
        The problem seems to be a Footer Link.I am waiting for your replies.Thank you!

        "Warning to Adsense 100k BluePrint Site Owners
        Now, first off, I do NOT like to make a public announcement like this that sheds anything negative on a training program that I have not used and/or reviewed. For all I know, this is a GREAT training program, but this one error/lack of judgement/over-sight has me worried for those that follow me AND have these types of sites.
        So, to me, I would rather help my readers save their sites (if possible) and risk upsetting a fellow marketer.
        Here's the thing...
        There is a footer link on these 100k sites - and it is a HUGE footprint - and as of a few moments ago, I found over 400,000 web pages in Google that all have this exact footer link back to the 100k site on them.
        Know what else is scary? All these sites look almost exactly the same!
        If YOU have a footer link on YOUR site that says "modified for 100k blueprint" - Get it off NOW.
        Not later, not in a few minutes... go do it NOW.
        I'd also recommend changing your theme because all these sites look so identical it is scary.
        What's The Problem With That Footer Link?
        From what I understand, this AdSense 100k Blueprint training is about making money with Google AdSense, right? (if I'm wrong, please correct me)
        So basically, that footer link is like you holding up this big, HUGE, sign that says, "Hey, I'm following this training that shows me how to game your product, Google!"
        You made is EASY for Google to find you...and nail you.
        Hopefully, your AdSense account won't be nailed too.
        I know Tiffany was reviewing this training program... and she got nailed. She got a big nasty message for the Google AdSense team. From what I read, she did not lose her entire AdSense account (thank goodness), but they DID ban that 100k site of hers. And yes, she did have that footer link on her site, too.
        Footprints are BAD.
        If you've been online for a few years, you might recall this happening to BANS sites too (Build a Niche Store). Those sites all had easy-to-trace footer links...and many, many, MANY got deindexed.
        To The Owners of 100k BluePrint
        First off, my apology for doing this publicly. I hope you will stop putting these type of footer links on the theme you give students to use. I know that it's an "easy" way of getting back links, but it is going to really hurt your students - and the reputation of your training.
        Also, please encourage your students to use their own, UNIQUE theme so all your student's sites don't look the exact same....."

          It has been asked in this thread before but the footer is not there anymore so you have nothing to worry about Google de-indexing you because of that.

    The course is based entirely on our own "in-house" IM business. It was first released in 2010. Since then, it has been updated numerous times, each time in order to reflect the changes we've made in our own tactics & strategies, which in turn were driven by changes such as Google's updates.

    Each update goes through the entire course to make changes and insure we're promoting only the most effective tactics, and take the appropriate measures to stay in 'good graces' with Google, etc.

    Fwiw, a new update - really a complete update - should be available shortly.

      It will be shipping in a week to 10 days, but you can purchase anytime - we provide lifetime free updates. Anyone who has purchased gets every new update as soon as it's released. In fact, we ship to existing customers first.

Support and treatment of existing customers is questionable. This blueprint had great potential and I was very hopeful, but unfortunately this company has been a disaster since I have been involved. This product and company has the potential to knock the socks off of the industry, but so far has been a big disappointment. I truly truly hope that they can get their act together in 2013 and turn things around.
        Ok Tangosdad,

        I'm going to go out on a limb, though I'm almost certain it's going to come back and bite me. I'm going to give you a legit, full & honest reply - not a rant - and address the 'good' and 'bad'. Might take me a bit - as in a little later today - but I'm going to go with my gut on your sincerity and give it a shot.

      Yes I'm defending them because their knowledge has made me money. And yes, I really would like some details to back up your statements, it's possible I've missed something you know.
      Thanks for the Erik;

      We know who this guy is; he's a pissed off individual who blames his failures on everyone and everything else. We've all seen them plenty of times. It's unfortunate, but the reality is, no one or thing will ever be 'ok' because the failure is internal, not external.

      I think we have a long enough - and open to scrutiny - history, with more than enough varied user commentary (the most viewed review thread ever on Warrior!) for anyone to see through these kinds of tirades.

      It just tedious for those who have their time wasted having to wade through someone's immature rants.

    For tangosdad (and others), here's my 'good & bad' reply:

    I've been working online since before there was an Internet, including an early company that sold hardware mods & parts back in the CompuServe and The Source days - and before, on BBS's.

    Some Background
    From about 2001 until 2010, most of my efforts were focused on my own IM business - websites & SEO, ecommerce, and PPC. In 2008 I put a lot of effort into 're-thinking' Adsense, came up with a business model that worked, and focused on building Adsense sites, selling some, keeping others. In 2010, one of the guys who had been buying some of those sites talked me into putting my strategies & tactics down 'on paper' as a course.

    That became the original "Adsense $100k Blueprint" course - the original subject of this review thread.

    I was initially reticent about selling into the IM market as I had - and continue to hold - a very dim view of it: too many of the players and products suck.

    From the beginning, we opted for a 'high road' approach, pricing our products low, providing a very high level of support, instituting a lifetime-free-upgrade policy on everything.

    Having been around for a long time, I knew that without good support, most people would not achieve the success they were aiming for. And so along with the course, we set up a private forum, who's initial sole purpose was to provide a venue where we could do the kind of direct, current, ongoing support and hand-holding we thought necessary.

    It was, and is my belief that almost anyone can succeed in IM, to almost any degree. What holds people back from success is either a) bad info, b) bad strategies, c) insufficient support, d) lack of action / follow-through, or e) a combination of these.

    Our forum was intended to address a, b, and c.

    The result was a lot of successes.

    One year after the original course was released, we released "V2" or Version 2. I had updated the course on an ongoing basis, but with Panda we had to make significant changes in how we did things, and reflect that in the course, so we did a complete re-write.

    The result was continued customer successes.

    I want to point out that everything we've released - courses, reports, etc., - has always, and only, been based exactly on what we're doing in our own IM business.

    From end-of-2011 to early 2012, with additional Panda iterations, Penguin, and other industry changes, we began shifting all our own internal efforts to better, more sustainable strategies & tactics.

    At that point, I felt the Adsense-centric business model had run it's course; we weren't doing it much internally, and didn't intend on 'extending' the model in the course.

    However, much of what went into the courses was valid and effective, and there seemed to be more & more garbage out there. The forum had grown to a few thousand members, and expanded to additional areas.

    (During that time, we released "Traffic $100k Blueprint", a course on getting & using free traffic, which was integrated into the forum as well).

    Anyhow, I made the decision to "upgrade" the course, take the best of what remained in the course, along with what we had been doing internally, and do a 3rd version that better reflected the current state of IM.

    "V3" was a complete departure from the Adsense-centric model, or really "anything-centric", and instead layed out the 3 primary website strategies we had evolved to internally, which were 'de-coupled' from a specific monetization method.

    It was essentially, "what we've found to work, tested, and now do ourselves in order to build profitable website opportunities".

    It probably should have been a new, separate product, but I wanted to leverage the name & brand, while hopefully moving customers to a better and more long-term strategy, and at the same time giving them extra value via the lifetime free upgrade.

    And so we announced "V3". While this was happening, we went through some personal changes, and just plain had our hand full. We had launched a live training membership, so I was also doing 2 live sessions each week.

    (Fwiw, I put well over 100 hours into Version 3, writing out my company's "best of" successful strategies & tactics, and it went free to over 3,200 A100k customers - and has never been charged even 1 cent for.)

    Finally, we had included custom themes with the original course, and decided to go with an all-new, more robust framework, included free with the course (based on Warp).

    We had a boatload of problems with the themes and theme developers we hired, compounding problems.

    Unfortunately, I bowed to the pressure on our forum and released a "pre-release" version prematurely.

    Eventually, I was able to release a '3.1' version that laid out the strategies we wanted to lay out, but it was not polished to the degree it should have been. Plus we still had problems with the included free theme.

    Currently
    More personnel problems - bad hires - and some personal issues left too much to do with too few people. The result was a string of missed commitment dates, for which we're still catching up.

    I over-promised on dates and missed them, many times.

    That said, many of the 'problems' that people had, were having to do with added-value things we never charge for. For instance, no one bought anything past Version 2, yet received Version 3, and Version 3.1, for free, and still managed to complain.

    In other words, they bought earlier versions, got what they paid for, and only AFTER we announced we were doing Version 3, AND that it would be sent to existing customers, FOR FREE, did anyone complain. Entitlement run wild.

    On top of all this, we've added, and continue to add, thousands of dollars of value to the forum, all at no cost - reports, licensed downloads, content, apps, etc.

    That mostly covers the courses, which really should be all anyone comments on in this thread. But I'll go a bit further.

    Over the past 3 years, we have on occasion offered 'done for you' projects, usually websites. To date, we've sold, and delivered over 400, and up until now with near-100% customer satisfaction.

    Most recently, we offered 'done for you' "Authority Hubs" (one of the models in V3). We got more orders than expected, and part-way through found ourselves in that last 'short-handed' position.

    As a result, the last orders, perhaps 12-15, were promised, delayed, promised, and delayed. We still have 6-8 not finished yet.

    In order to try and 'compensate', we added significant extras to what would be delivered.

    But the reality is, we fell way behind on promised deliveries, and are still trying to clean them all up, while at the same time keep our other commitments, run the company, etc. No acceptable excuse, shouldn't have happened, period. We let down those customers, period. That's on me.

    As for the forum, as most Warriors know, any forum will have it's share of difficult, dissatified, unhappy individuals.

    We had always prided ourselves on the quality of our private forum: quality of information, quality of members, and quality of atmosphere.

    As far as I know, and I've been online and around, we allow more criticism than any other private IM forum I know of. I don't EVER censor constructive criticism, or even outright complaints, providing they're not done rudely or disrespectfully. In almost all cases, we acknowledge & respond directly.

    Unfortunately, it's times like those where there were legitimate issues, that some people use to stir things up. As the forum owner, it's my responsibility to maintain a positive environment where members are comfortable. I think that of the now 4000+ members, many of whom have been on since the beginning, 99.9% would characterize the forum as one with terrific info, helpful & friendly people, and about as easy-going policy-wise as there is.

    To date, over 3 years and thousands of members, I've only banned 8 people (I checked prior to posting this). In every case, the members in question were asked at least once, usually 3 times, to refrain from the behavior that was causing problems. We've been as permissive as possible, but again, anyone who's been online for more than a minute knows, there are a small number of people who simply won't get along.

    I think our longevity, number of positive testimonials - hundreds - and continued good-will bear out what I'm saying.

    Have we had problems? Certainly. Have some of them been unnecessary, or dragged out? Yes. In all cases, I'm the one responsible for them.

    The bottom line is, I think we do a very good job, and provide good info & good value. We do mess up, and have had more of that the past few months than previously. We can and should do better.

      Thank you very much for the honest reply. I would suggest that you also share this with your members. I am going to remove my negative review, or as you called it "immature rant", since you have been man enough to step to the plate and share this. And for the record, inspite of you thinking I have ulterior motives I do in fact care and meant the positive words that I wrote about you.

        Thanks for that, and I wouldn't ask you to remove your comment.

      Earlier this week I purchased 100KBlueprint but I did not get

      a) Addsense 100KBlueprint Version 3, I received version 2

      b) Traffic 100KBlueprint

      I'll note that while you did provide access to a link for Traffic 100KBlueprint, when I click on that link, lo and behold, Traffic 100KBlueprint does not open up, Adsense 100KBlueprint Version 2 opens up :confused:

            Well Michael, I just got banned from your 100K Results Forum, which I paid for in advance for a full year back in Sept. 12, 2012. The day after that I purchased one of those $465 Authority Hubs, which you said, would be ready in 30-40 days tops. This is the middle of March 2013 and still no Authority Hub in sight. I've asked through all the possible channels for a refund, and all I got was Kevin saying he would forward the request to you. What happened to that last and only PM you sent me? Where you acknowledged your fault and promised to deliver by Feb 19? Nothing happened. So that everybody knows, they don't reply, they are almost impossible to reach. It's almost like a Stockholm syndrome thing here, where you actually feel grateful they reply to you after you've written to them 20 times. They are the ones who got your money and delivered NOTHING and we are the poor people made feel guilty for posting a Thread in hopes of making them move their butts and do the REFUND? Crazy! If you are seriously considering joining this thing, think about it, really. The webinars take 2 hours of their repetitive, incoherent jump from topic to topic. All their promised materials and extras are delivered many months after their own projections, or never and you basically are left with a mess of what exactly to follow. They do cleanups of uncomfortable posts and threads in their forum, that's for sure. I've seen people complaining about that frequently and BAM! disappeared! Would you say I've got Entitlement issues? I think not. I just want my money back and I'll be gone, is that too much to ask for? Michael, come on, give me a timeline or just give me the refund once and for all. You lost my trust a few weeks ago, now with banning me and just plain ignoring my refund requests, you've lost my respect.

              chiricuto,

              Hard to say since you're hiding behind your brand-new Warrior ID, but I'm pretty sure I know who this is.

              Once again, you didn't get banned for nothing, and you didn't get banned for asking for a refund, period. You got banned for posts and/or messages that are in violation of our terms.

              As for the value of the training membership? Hundreds of others would beg to differ. We have one of the highest retention rates for a monthly membership I've ever seen, unheard of in this industry or any other.

              But forget about what I or anyone else thinks. If it's so bad, why'd you stick around? Did it take you from September 2012 to suddenly decide the 50 or so live training sessions you've been on are "incoherent"? You had two months of twice-weekly live training sessions to get an immediate, clean refund via Clickbank; yet all of a sudden they suck? It took you 6 months to figure this out, and just so happens you decide it's awful right after you get banned? C'mon - people here aren't that stupid.

              Lastly, this is a review thread for a course; anything else is clearly a personal problem, and doesn't belong here.

              All that said, if you want a refund for a website purchase that hasn't been delivered, PM me and I'll give you my personal email and get you refunded.

              Michael

                Hey Michael, I'm not hiding, I just didn't post before, but the account I opened it since 2011, when I started looking for IM stuff. Until now, I didn't have the necessity to post anything complaining about any other vendor. That which I tried and didn't like, I could get a refund. Those I liked, well, just kept them. The problem with your case is that I can't get you to reply to my refund request ticket on Clickbank for the Results membership $199.99. Yes, no reply, at all. Then for the Authority Hub, I can't get Paypal to consider my case, because it was in September 2012! So tell me my options, please? You kept dragging and changing the dates, none of them was kept, even today, just show up instead of directly replying to my mails or messages or plain and simply refunding the money. What's keeping you from it? It's funny, you mention the 50+ webinars I've attended, not true, but that shows how enthusiastic I was about the whole thing, while waiting for my Authority Hub to come, to be ready. But I lost that illusion when month after month it didn't and people started complaining, even those who got it said clearly that it wasn't as expected and they foresaw, and we for that matter, that it was going to be complicated to make all your promised extras work (like 1-on-1 sessions with you to discuss in detail a plan for the selected niche, or your promise to refund if it didn't pay the 4 or 5 fold of our investment within the first 2-3 months, etc.) I mean, you cancel many of your webinars at the last minute, I've got messages from Kev just saying it has to be cancelled because he couldn't find you...and he works for you.... Anyway, 600 posts or so, I don't see why my point of view isn't acceptable, it was my experience, of course others may differ. As I stated in my introductory post at your forum, I took the plunge to pay for it, because a friend of mine had told me about the blueprint 1.0 and he had a good opinion of it, that's why I paid for a full year and bought the AH the day after joining. I had really high expectations and sorta trusted you based on that. I don't usually do that, but I'll have to reconsider for the future. As for the refund for the Results Forum, sincerely, I didn't take advantage of most of the content, although there is valuable content in it for sure, but as you can probably check on my view logs, I was only checking the threads that had to do with status of Authority Hub deliveries opened by others and to send you and Adam and Kev, PMs. Your last 10 seminars or more, I didn't attend, (oh, since I live in Taiwan, I had to be awake at 6am to listen to you, and did so eagerly the first few times), but a couple of weeks ago, I attended another one, right at the end of it, and you guys where talking about the Authority Hub and I was completely frustrated, how could it be I still had not received mine? I sent a message in that chat and left and proceeded to request the refund by all means available, without success. Let it be clear, I was pushed to write my case in this forum because you banned me from your forum, simply for opening a thread regarding my case, as have others in the past. No surprise it got deleted as the others did. I wish you could paste the PM you sent to me saying how badly you had handled everything and asked for a chance to deliver and act like the company I expected you to be, and all that. Like I said, that's just my experience and opinion. I'll send you the PM on this forum, like I did on yours many times and finally hope to get the refund. Forsythe/Chung

                I will say that if you have been affected by a non-delivered authority hub, you should hop over and read it.

          As you know, I paid for your course a couple of weeks ago using my credit card, and as you know I never recieved it.

          So I sent you a PM as you requested. And I sent you an email (sent to support@100kblueprint.com) to report the problem.

          I still have not recieved:

          1) Addsense 100KKblueprint Version 3

          2) Traffic 100KBlueprint

          3) the private info required to join your no-membership-fee-required discussion forum

          And yes I checked my spam box.

            People like you are the reason I have finally come public about the 100K Blueprint. I realized a few weeks ago that Michael was still selling a product that was never really finished and he was telling his paying forum members every week that their Authority Hubs, Lead Gen sites, videos made, Version 3.1 finished, etc...

            And nothing ever happens. People have asked for a refund, which he says at the beginning of every webinar, on the public forum!!! And still nothing is done. I finally came to the conclusion if I kept my mouth shut I was complicit in this crime.

            Thanks for coming forward with your story.

            So I sent you a PM as you requested. And I sent you an email (sent to support@100kblueprint.com) to report the problem.

            I still have not recieved:

            1) Addsense 100KKblueprint Version 3

            2) Traffic 100KBlueprint

            3) the private info required to join your no-membership-fee-required discussion forum

            And yes I checked my spam box.

            Payment Id: AP-37198204SL488380U
            I'm sorry for any inconvenience IG, and understand your frustration; it seems you are having some issues receiving email.

            I did some further research:

            You were set up with an account on the forum on 5th march.

            You created 2 support tickets, both were replied to on 5th March.

            We also sent another, separate email, from support, with the all download links to V3, the theme etc on 5th March.

            If you doubt this, I can post the headers from the emails for the address you used, which was: r******box@yahoo.com

            If you can provide us with a different email, I'll change it in our records and resend everything to you; I think that will solve the problem.

            Michael

              I've successfully received various emails from you before. But I'll note that I never received:

              1) Addsense 100KKblueprint Version 3

              2) Traffic 100KBlueprint

              3) the private info required to join your no-membership-fee-required discussion forum

              Here's what I'll do: After I publish this post I'll send you a private message. That PM will contain the address to 3 different email accounts. I'll forward you an address to a Hotmail account, an address to a Gmail account and an address to a Yahoo account.

              Please send the 3 items noted above to each email account.

              If your delivery fails to reach the Yahoo account, for example, then odds are it should reach the Gmail or Hotmail account, you would think. I'll note that of the 3 email accounts I'm forwarding you, no one address represents the one that failed to receive the first delivery. In other words, you've never seen these addresses before. They're like newborn babies, fresh out of the maternity ward (not a totally accurate metaphor as I've had all 3 email accounts for several years and, based on experience, all three are RELIABLE). Give it a shot and thanks for getting back to me.

    The review thread, any review thread, is for the product in question. Not attacks on the company, or the WSO seller. #1 rule here is if you have a problem with a member, take it up in private. Also, the thread is specifically for the product Adsense 100k, NOT for any other membership or service.

      Well, first off, this review is on a product that no longer exists. 100k Blueprint. It's been semi-replaced with a Version 3 of a multi-blueprint that officially has never been finished, even though it's been promised for over 6 months.

      But if you were a 100k Results member, you would know that. You would also know that promises are made on a weekly basis, just don't expect them to be fulfilled. I think Michael spends most of his day on the Warrior Forum actually.

      I was a 100k Results member for a year and I truly believed that Michael was a good guy with a good heart that was just over-worked. But after months of delays on the Version 3 to replace the 100k Blueprint and then a promise of reducing of membership fees by 50% (NEVER HAPPENED) I became very frustrated, as did most of the Results members. As a group we learned that you can't criticize Michael for not delivering on his PAID FOR promises either.

      There are several people who have paid for Authority Hubs months ago and have still not had delivery, nor been able to get a refund. It amazed all of us members because Michael says he runs a 7 figure operation. How could it take 5 months to make an Authority Hub using his own Blueprint and still not delivery? And then promise to refund the customers and just ignore them?!? That is truly a shame.

      Recently I was trying to find out how many people haven't received their Authority Hubs or their Lead Generation websites. That got me banned for life.

      So if you are thinking of becoming a 100k Results member, you might want to think about joining Bring the Fresh instead.

      That's easier said than done cypherslock.

      As a customer for the past 18 months; one of the most active and respected members on the 100k Forum (with over 1000 posts to my name); and a previous employee of Michael's, I'm more than happy to provide a testimonial ABOUT THIS PRODUCT, ON THIS THREAD, but need to speak to Michael about something first.

      Michael,

      I have tried to follow cypherslock's good (and wise) advice here. I have tried to communicate with you on over 20 occasions in the past 3 months and have had no meaningful responses (other than you arranged a Skype call with me but then - without explanation - didn't show up for it.... That's okay we all get side-tracked). I have tried to communicate with you by :
      • 100k Forum Posts
      • 100k Forum Personal Messages
      • Facebook Personal Messages
      • Emails to your 'personal' business email address
      • Skype Messages
      Apologies for posting here, but this thread seems to be the only guaranteed way of getting a response from you now. :confused:

      As I have been for the past 3 months, I'm going to be very discreet and not mention publically what the outstanding issue is.

      If you can respond to one of my many messages it would be much appreciated. I will respond back here with the testimonial AFTER I have spoken with Michael and got my outstanding issue resolved.

      I look forward to be able to provide a testimonial here in the next 7-days, that I know will be of great value for all future potential customers and enable them to make an informed choice.

    Taken from the Rules sticky:

    3. Do not attack nor give your opinion about the product creator. This forum is about product reviews, not the people who create the products.

    and


    We're starting to delete people who bash product creators directly. Calling them liars, scum and so forth.

    This place is for "intelligent" reviews of products. NOT personal Bashing.

    I would suggest you run and delete anything you've posted that directly bashes product creators because when we find it you WILL be eliminated from this forum.

      I think in this case the person and the product are tightly linked. As Bob pointed out, Authority Hubs are modeled after the newest and best $100k adsense blueprint, and if Michael said he would build them himself for a mere $500, clearly they should work as promised. Attacks like "you have entitlement issues" or "digruntled customer" etc." just won't fly. An Authority Hub built by its inventor would be a good indicator if the adsense blueprint is something that works, or not.

      Since people can't even get a product out of Michael, and get banned from the forum for raising questions, you have to wonder how good the blueprint is.

        I just don't see how it is possible to review the product without also reviewing the support of that product. But anyway...

        In hindsite I wish I had not deleted my review of the product...

        But here's an idea, how about someone, especially a newbie, purchase V3 (the current released version as of today) and try to make heads or tails of it. Go from start to finish and build a site using the specific techniques and instructions in the $100K guide. Stick to the guide though. If you like it, awesome, but IF you don't like it request a refund. Then come here and give a review one way or another.

        Now that would be interesting. Anyway, just an idea.

      But how do you separate the credibility of the author from the claims he makes? Doesn't that have to be evaluated? If someone handed you a book on ethics, would it matter if the author was Bernie Madoff? I know it's a little extreme, but still, does not the logic hold? If you didn't know who Bernie Madoff was and you were about to read and put into practice concepts from his book on ethics, would you want someone to inform you?

        At first I thought the Maddoff comparison was a little extreme, until I realized it's really only a matter of scale, not ethics.

        In a Ponzi scheme, there is often a far better return than expected on the initial investment, it builds trust and it gets people hooked into your scheme. Invariably you offer more investments, but you keep most of the money. Only a few people get paid to make your business look legitimate. You can always claim you've encountered temporary setbacks.

        The $110k blueprint scheme appears to follow the same pattern, so you shouldn't separate the man and his business conduct from the product.
        {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7893026].message }}
        • Profile picture of the author special_fx
          I agree with you, but for clarity sake let me make clear that I wasn't speaking to ethics other than as a vehicle for the example. I think there are some ethical issues involved, but I really wasn't trying to go there (at least not yet) . My bad.


          Moreover, the point I was trying to make (perhaps clumsily) was that there is a distinct connection between the written word, where that word originates and the credibility of the source. Typically, we presume and confer upon others and their works a certain level of credibility in the absence of countervailing information. However, history is replete with warning examples of, "consider the source" and the need to balance relevant facts about the messenger AND the message being offered. Notice I said relevant facts. So, if the author (Michael), presents claims about product effectiveness and refers to his business operation as proof of such, is it relevant and fair to scrutinize all parts of the claim, including the business? He made the claim and opened the door. Does that not provide the foundation needed to step through and examine the probative value of the entire claim based on its merits?
          I and others have done so and come to our conclusions. Most of us wish we had this information before becoming customers. For those who are still in the purchase decision making process, you have an opportunity to fill some of that "absence of information" presumption of credibility gap thing by leveraging our actual customer experience. Is it worth it to you to get the full picture? Only you can answer that. I merely say that the information is available. You can examine the facts and then draw your own conclusions. Purchase. Not purchase. Whatever. At least you will have made an informed decision on behalf of your hard earned dollars.
          However before proceeding, I am sensitive to other points of view on the venue issue and before posting again, I would like to hear more from others. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

    rowd, it is not a case of should or shouldn't you separate things. The rules of this sub-forum state that you are only to review the actual product, not the sales methods, not the creator. I didn't come up with them, that's just what they are.

      Ok fair enough cypherslock. Why you can't see how people are trying to raise a red flag on this situation and help forum members is beyond me. However, you want it specifically on the product, ok fine. I'll repost my review:

      v2 of this product was pretty impressive but unfortunately now outdated. $100K v3 on the other hand is not a complete finished product. Way too many loose ends, dead ends, and things left out. IMO no way for a newbie to follow this blueprint start to finish and create a complete adsense site. The 3.1 update was never officially released and numerous promises of when THIS product update would be released, which would supposedly make it complete, have not been kept.

      I issued a challenge in a post above. Someone new, preferably a newbie, buy it and try to go through the entire current blueprint start to finish and make heads or tails out of it. Then IF you don't like it ask for a refund. Sounds like it could be a potentially fair and unbiased review to me.

      Is that product specific enough for you?

      Ok, Cyberslock that's fair. Would you say then, that any claims and facts that have a bearing on those claims made in the "blueprint" materials are fair game for discussion here? Just want to make sure I have the ground rules straight.

      I find it hard to believe that you don't think it pertinent to warn people about a product being sold that never gets delivered nor allows for a refund?!? That's what the Warrior Forum is all about in my opinion. Besides the tons of lousy WSO's people sell for $7 that they have copied from some forum group they are a part of.

      I've been lucky enough to have read a few posts in my day on here that saved me the money and trouble of buying a piece of crap product or that the creator ran off with all of the money and never delivered.

      It almost sounds like you are protecting 100k or you are a part of his company. That would make you part of his scheme. Hard to believe that a person that is part of Bring the Fresh would choose to perpetuate something that is near criminal behavior.

      I'm disappointed in you sir. It's the opposite of what is taught and preached about at BTF. If you want to know why I think you are a BTFer is because you use the same alias on their forum.

      If you haven't bought an Authority Hub or a Lead Gen site or even Version 3 of 100k Blueprint then you haven't felt the sharp edge of the blade of not being able to get what you paid for in September NOR a refund!

      Why are you trying to get people to LOSE THEIR MONEY?

      I also paid for an Authority Hub, requested a refund after 5 months of Non-delivery and my posts get deleted, emails unanswered. I believed in the product and the coaches until things started getting promised and never delivered. I still think $100k is good but too many promises are broken, then trying to sell me something else, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I agree with onlinewarriors. Congrats on getting your refund, I hope I do as well.

    PS looking forward to Skid 106 review.
    Hi RonnyG, good to see you on this side of the fence. Thank you for those kind words.

    For the benefit of anyone who has come back expecting to see my review, unfortunately I have still not heard anything from Michael. I really apologise for that. When I say that I’m going to do something, I usually do it.

    I have had one person contact me and ask why should it matter and why I don’t just post my review anyway. The thing is, I do have something outstanding with Michael and would sooner that matter is cleared up first, rather than me providing a review which might be unfairly clouded or influenced by this. I'm seeing quite a few negative comments appearing about Michael and his products now (clearly on this thread, but also elsewhere on warrior forum and indeed on other platforms) and I don’t want to add to them unnecessarily. I'd rather keep my comments relevant to this thread.

    For the moderators of this forum :

    The 100k Forum is an integral part of the Adsense 100k Blueprint product (i.e. what this whole thread is about). Michael has confirmed this in post #591. Unfortunately, I have asked several questions – put directly to Michael - on the 100k forum in the past 4 months, none of which have been answered. However, I would sooner give Michael a chance to answer those questions and THEN provide my overall review of the product, rather than just blasting out a negative review based on that recent experience.

    I know that there have been several hurdles that Michael has had to climb in the past 9 months (as you can see from his post #591 above), so I want to give him a fair crack of the whip in responding to me.

    For people looking for some immediate product feedback :

    Again, I apologise for not providing a full review at this point, as I had promised to do in my post #638.

    As you can see from RonnyG’s comment above, I am well known and respected within the 100k Blueprint community (I could easily provide you with loads of similar comments from other 100k forum members). Furthermore, as a long-time member, I’m probably in a better position than most to give a balanced review of ALL of Michael’s products – although I will stick to Adsense 100K Blueprint for this thread. In the absence of threads covering those other products, PM me if you want to read my reviews about them.

    What I would say at this point, and I know that Michael would STRONGLY agree, is that the IM world HAS changed drastically in the past 24 months. Therefore, I wouldn’t rely on the testimonials, posted on the previous pages of this thread, as most of them related to previous versions of this product.

    Michael has been very generous with his free updates, and this latest one (version 3 : Sept 2012) came out nearly a year after version 2 (which itself came out about a year after version 1). It was also about 6 months in the making, such were the marked changes from the previous publications. Version 3 also differed considerably in its structure, compared with previous versions.

    Therefore, you really want to look for any testimonials AFTER Sept 2012 (at least that saves you reading through about 11 previous pages of this thread). This is why I’m keen to repay Michael by freshening up this thread with a testimonial that is relevant TODAY….. whilst also giving my own tips, advice, & details of earnings, to help anyone who might be considering buying this product.

    Anyway, I’m confident that Michael will speak to me this week and I will then provide the above information after that.

    Love & Hugs.

    Hi Folks,

    After a few weeks of pondering whether or not I'd regret loss to the membership site, I've decided to post a thread on the 100k forum telling the members and Michael exactly what I think about him and his products. I'll most likely lose my membership to the forum after submitting this thread (On his forum), but I think its worth it to help inform and educate his members who are hoping to find that treasure chest that doesn't exist. That being said, here's what I posted on the forum:

    Over the last year that I've been a member here (I purchased my lifetime membership from the WF special that was going on), I've come to realize a few things about this product, the creator, and this forum. Below are simply my opinions. I'm perfectly fine with some or all people not agreeing with me, but I do felt like this needed to be put out there. I shall dissect this into two parts.

    Part 1- The Things I Can't Help But Notice

    The creator is absent most of the time during those times when his followers need him the most (Reminds me alot like god, really).
    The creator has offered to create a number of authority sites to help people grasp a better understanding of the 100k method. Unfortunately, we all know what happened there. There is still threads about it on the WF. The end result? The creator was banned from the WF. What's that tell you?
    The creator doesn't have a clue on how to manage his time wisely and isn't very good at keeping track of projects. Thus all the disappointments with deadlines.
    The creator doesn't know how to complete and tidy up loose ends with previous projects before offering another product out there for the gullible if not stupid to buy.
    From my understanding, some of the best members have left already. That has left this Forum in the ruins with stupid and pointless posts from members who don't contribute much to this forum.
    The creator either has lied when it comes to mentioning about how much profits his sites make (the one's he sells anyways), or he has many other accounts. I checked both Michaels and Adams on Flippa. I saw a couple of high end sales on both accounts but mostly $800 range sites. He mentions in the ad that those are quick sales for "emergency" funds. P.S My beef isn't with Adam, its with Michael.

    Part 2-

    I'd love to leave an honest raving testimonial about his products, but I can't. That would be lying and I do have morals. The guides I received looked great at first, but the more and more I read them, I started to notice missing pieces. The guides are poorly written and disorganized, this would leave a newbie scrambling to figure things out and quickly get disoriented. Tonight, I attended a webinar that made some old thoughts resurface. A guru who is truly banking large figures isn't going to be stupid enough to share their true secrets and methods of duplicating exactly that. I wouldn't do that, You probably wouldn't do that, so why should we expect Michael and all the others on the internet (including the WF) to be willing/stupid enough to share their exact secrets? That being said, if they are willing to share their secrets, you're not going to get the full scoop. You're going to get the tip of the iceberg. This keeps hopeful customers coming in constantly to snatch up the most recent products produced by their role model guru. I know, I was there too. If these guides were truly 100% complete, we'd get everything Michael knows about adsense. We don't, Not even ad placements. He doesn't go into great detail about where to place your ads. He would be foolish to do so. If he sold that guide to a large number of people, he would fear getting outranked by his customers and he wouldn't be making any money. So let all of that digest for a bit.

    The Bottom Line

    I appreciate how Michael (even though we never talked directly, or we tried to and he totally spaced it) filled me with optimism to get away from a house full of people I hate, but his product isn't what helped me get out of the door and to a place I actually enjoy and feel comfortable at. It was my own intellect and resourcefulness. Now that I sit here, I realize how blind I was to trust that some dude who supposedly is willing to help someone ordinary like me make 6 figures. I'm tired of his pointless and pathetic emails showing up in my inbox touting new products as the way to live a comfortable lifestyle. He hasn't even completed his first project (the guides). Those will be trashed and added to my spam filter. I will relinquish this membership and tell anyone or everyone who asks me how I make money on adsense to avoid this product and the creator like the plague.

    That being said, I wish all of you good luck.

    His latest product:

    Subject Line: Last chance: Please don't abuse this‏

    Hello!

    We sent one email yesterday, this will be the last one about it. PLEASE do not share this link; we've already had a few purchases that are not on our list.

    Below is the email that went out yesterday; it's the last chance to pick up "$100k Affiliate" pre-sale, pre-release.

    ------

    If the question is "I'm tired and out of patience - how do I finally get that real, working, six figure Internet marketing business"-we have a really good, very serious answer for you.

    We were not going to release this just yet, and in truth I am bowing to pressure, but here it is: our full-on, this-is-how-we've-made-most-of-our-money-year-in-and-year-out, literally-anyone-can-actually-pull-this-off guide to succeeding online.

    Here's your (brief) chance to pick up the pre-sale version of "$100k Affiliate", at the pre-sale price.
    (The pre-sale version doesn't have all the final formatting & images. The 'final' will be a free upgrade available on Friday. It will also include some additional PDF's - but will no longer be at pre-sale price.)

    We're not bs'ing when we say the pre-sale price will only be available for a day or two - the last few releases went to full-retail pricing 24-48 hours after we offered you the pre-sale, and stayed that way).

    (If slogging through this email is too much wait, you can check out the sales page at 100k Affiliate | How To Go From Start To Super Affiliate - DON'T buy it there;

    The half-price pre-sale link is: ==> http://goo.gl/p5cy0

    We've worked on this on-and-off for over a year; I can tell you that this will be, for many of you, the most direct, real, most certain way to actually have that $100,000+ business.

    "$100k Affiliate" is a Blueprint, laying out step-by-step how to start, build, run, and grow a $100,000+ affiliate marketing business.

    No fluff, and no BS - this is a straightforward description & plan of exactly how we do affiliate marketing, which comprises most of our sites, and which has driven most of our revenues for nearly a decade.

    It doesn't get any more direct or effective than this.

    If you read it, and follow it to a "T", you will finally have that 6-figure internet marketing business - period.

    Real Deal: this thing is a MONSTER! We've now had the precise Blueprint thoroughly tested, and can say with complete confidence: if you follow it, you will get the same results.

    NOTE: This is the PRE-SALE pre-release version. You'll get the full-version upgrade in a few days - it includes 3 additional PDF's, and additional material in the main PDF.

    The price is $47, but as we ALWAYS do for our list, you can buy the pre-sale version at a huge discount, just $25. That includes immediate free upgrade to the "shrink-wrapped" version in a few days, and lifetime free updates.

    The price goes up in about 24 hours; get it while you can on 'pre-sale':

    ==> http://goo.gl/p5cy0


    Sincerely,
    Michael Ullman
    and the $100k Blueprint Team

    Fascinating side note, I've been contacted by two previous customers who have also done their own digging ( will be verifying the info shortly) and have revealed some very interesting facts about the creator as well.

    DISCLAIMER: I'm not posting this to harass Michael. I'm posting this to inform the community about his wrong doings in hopes that he'll clean up his act. If I get deleted or banned from this forum, I will change my IP and resurface. If this thread goes up missing, I will create and rank a site to inform his would be buyers of the consequences of his actions. That's a fact. I would love if we could keep things light hearted on this thread, but if not, I can swing both ways.

    I happen to agree with bringing out the truth.
    The warrior forum is for selling, reviewing, communicating, and giving an honest review of a product and its creator. I think the product and the creator are one in the same.

    I would want to hear, as a newbie, the problems that his customers are facing when they purchased the initial and ongoing products. We are all grown up and can deceiver for ourselves who is "just out to get someone", who was given a copy of the product for their awesome review, who was paid to give a good review, and those who genuinely give a thorough review.

    Perhaps it will get rid of the regurgitated/rehashed crap products and get real IM people who actually sell something worth purchasing to the forefront and the Warrior Forum will again be considered a place to navigate to for the hottest information going for IM.

    The creators of products need to be accountable. We pay hard earned money. I know many of you have been burned, promised things, waited, and when the refund time limit is up---tough luck. We have no problem on the writing section bashing the people who put out crap writing so why should this seller be different. He wrote it.

    It should be the responsibility of the "experienced" to inform "new IM'ers" of people who take liberties of other people’s money.

    Wasn't there a time when you purchased something, regretted it, wanted to warn others, shut your mouth for fear of being "banned" while you watch the next newbie make the same mistake as you did and react the same way as you.

    We should stop this. Tell the truth.

      Absolutely. Any "guru" who bans you for speaking the truth is NOT a guru. Problem is that in this case Michael is in such denial and claims that this is just a few disgruntled people who will not amount to anything. The reality is that it is pretty much across the board feeling of anyone who has been actively involved with him and his forum.

      And some of us have indeed amounted to something and succeeded in spite of choosing to follow the wrong guru. In my case as soon as I realize that I had been "had" and who Michael really was, as soon as I broke free from his bs, I was able to turn things around almost instantly.

      As I said on his forum, I really should thank Michael for showing me exactly how NOT to do things, how not to produce products, how not to set timelines, how not to make promises I'm never going to keep, how not to treat customers, etc etc. So perhaps the money and time I spent there was not a waste after all. ;-)

      Nothing!

      It is information freely available on the internet compiled in an ebook. I can name eight sites right off the top of my head that do a better job of filling in all the holes $100k leaves out. They are average people in IM who have started sites to Journal their experiences (for free). They go through every step, the errors, the mistakes, and freely share their successes, tell you the costs, show you back-linking, etc. etc.

      The problem people are having with $100K is that promises are not being kept after you purchase from within $100k. The company then continues to sell other items to his list (Example: Authority Hubs at the cost of $465.00) and although he Promises to refund the money at every webinar for those who have asked for one, we still see no refunds and some have been waiting for over 8 months. The one who have received their Authority Hub are disappointed to say the least! Things are incomplete, promises are not kept, communication is non-existent, runs a forum that if any negative thoughts are posted (as in #653) of this thread, are banned.

      I would go ahead and say "buy the course", it is a good course, he also has a forum of newbies and only a few experienced people who have stayed on but no longer participate in the forum for fear of being banned. Newbies talking to newbies, as there is rarely any participation by the creator. The posts that have answered questions prior to "the uproar" are still there and informative.

      Or, you can search on the internet and find people who have posted their niche site projects and follow along. They make mistakes, fix them, you see the results, they show what they make for $$ and the expenses they incur. They show you the site, exactly how they made it, got keywords for it, why they choose that particular site, etc. All visual, follow along method. Not hype, as you actually see the results, the climb in Google and can verify every thing they do.

      No, they are not "Guru's". Just average guys/girls showing you how they do it. Sure, they try to sell you the software, more courses, etc. But I would rather purchase something from someone who has already shown what they have accomplished step-by-step and not simply posting a "photoshop" edited Adsense account to sell another rehashed ebook.

      Want links to some of these ongoing endeavours? PM me.

        Please DO name them! What are the 8 sites that do a better job for free?? I'd definitely be interested.

        I recently purchased the A100K Blueprint. I'm currently trying to follow the documentation to create a site before the trial period is up. I want to give it a fair evaluation. So far, I have found that they do at least respond to questions reasonably fast.

      Hello Tim,

      The problem with Michael's marketing is how he sells his product and what the product will actually do for you. Previously I was living in a household full of people I don't wish to be around (a step family)and I saw his advertisements for the 100k method on the forum being touted as one of the best if not the best adsense course for a complete newbie. I private messaged him on this forum and asked him if that was true. If I put my back into it and stick to my guns, would I see results? The answer from him was yes. Infact, I still have the original messages.

      __________________________________________________ _____________

      From Me: (Notice that he never replied the first time)

      I don't know if you skipped over my question or not, but I'd really appreciate it if you could get back to me on my question. Thanks a ton.

      "Hello,

      I recently stumbled upon your product here on the WF and was curious to learn more about it. I've been writing articles for quite a few years, and want to profit from it while helping others with informational websites. I figure Adsense would fill this need. I like what I've seen so far in regards to the 100k Adsense Blueprint, I can't find a whole lot of testimonials though. I'm afraid to look off of the warrior forum because I don't want someone's negative comments interfering with my positive mindset when I do decide to purchase this product.

      My Questions:

      If I follow the instructions to the T, I should be able to see some sort of return right?

      What is the average of the monthly earnings per site?

      I tend to over analyze and complicate things, would this course be easy for me to follow and hopefully not make molehills into mountains?


      I know these might be difficult questions to answer, but please try your very best. I don't want to cloud my hard drive up with crappy WSO's. I just want something that will work if I actually sit down and apply the reasoning and methods behind it.

      Eagerly awaiting your reply.

      Best Regards
      Shaye"

      Michael's Replies

      Hi Shaye,

      Thanks for your interest; please accept my apologies for the delayed reply.

      We're right in the middle of our 'V3' launch & upgrade, and things are very hectic.

      The course was designed such that if you follow it conscientiously, you should see good returns. Our methods for building profitable websites are extremely well optimized, and have been working for almost two years. Our main business is our 'in-house' IM effort. The whole basis of the course is to provide a 'blueprint' - a step-by-step guide - to duplicate exactly our methods. They've been thoroughly tested, and produce repeatable results. If you follow them properly, you get similar results.

      What's more, the offer includes access to our private forum, a literal treasure-chest of help, answers, and a lot of friendly people willing to help each other succeed.

      Lastly, the whole thing carries a no-questions-asked money back guarantee.

      Best regards,

      Michael

      __________________________________________________ ___________

      So with that said, who would I recommend this product to?

      I believe he attempted to create this course for a newbie who had no previous computer or internet experience. Even still, he did a very poor job putting together the course. Every pdf that comes with the course has a very strange structure. It seems to jump to and from random places randomly. It's a little unpredictable. The best word that describes it is "disorganized". Some of the screenshots are a little blurry while others are very clear and easy to see. Tons of typos are scattered throughout the pdfs. The forum is pointless and like another WF member said, you have plenty of newbies who seem to be clueless about what they're doing. They just stick around in hopes of something great being released. In most cases, its the completed version of the V3 100k Blueprint. Half way through one of the pdfs, Michael mentions in big bold letters that a separate pdf that a back linking guide would be released shortly. We've never seen it. Still Michael is producing more crap for the gullible and unsuspecting victims to buy. I've been a part of his 100k results forum that requires a separate membership, I was not impressed at all. I spent a day or two going through everything and ended up requesting a refund. You can put your own conclusions together about all of this.

      So here's who this product is best for:
      Spoiler Alert: No One!

      If you're a complete newbie and have no idea how Adsense works and how to set up a WordPress site, stay away. If you're an experienced veteran who knows how to navigate the internet marketing world and everything that has to do with it, avoid this product. For the bullshit/frustrations you put up with and the price of this product, you can figure things out yourself using this forum and a little research on your behalf. That's what I did, and guess what? It cost me nothing but my spare time.

    Personally I need no proof of who Michael is. I watched it all unfold before my eyes since last August. I knew very shortly in exactly who he was, but I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I watched the abuse of his paying customers and complete incompetence when it came to promises and deliverables. Not one single time did he ever do what he said he would do. Not once. This course was a perfect example. Incomplete and never finished. And honestly I don't think he ever had any intention of doing so.

    I can think of no one more deserving to be banned from wf, just from his bullying and abusive attitude towards anyone who questions him including paying customers. And he showed that side of himself right here on wf for all the world to see.
