I'm wanting to find a good solid program that works. I've purchased a few ebooks here recently because their sales pages drew me in. I bought Google Sniper 2.0 on Feb 14. I'm working on my 5th and 6th Sniper site.
I haven't seen any success with my first few - yet. Unlike the glowing testimonies - I have not ranked for my domains in the first weeks, nor made a single sale. And yes, I chose keywords that didn't have a lot of competition and had decent searches, according to the Sniper way.

I just want to know if anyone has actually made it with these?
I don't think the recent Google slap has affected the sites, because I'm still seeing other Sniper sites on page one of Google.

The simple way of slapping up websites and hoping for them to rank is too optimistic. It does happen but only if the competition is really really low. That is if you properly analyze your competition.

You'll need to get backlinks to help you rank. Backlinks and good content.

The thing is, not all sites will convert. Infact most won't. I'd say for every ten you throw up, 3 will make you sales.

So expect to create a few dead sites along the way

Get the trial version of Keyword Analysis Tool - Market Samurai (No affiliation/nothing to do with me) watch the videos and have a play. Not always accurate but you can compare it with the Google keyword tool to get an idea.

And yeah - as Zeb says above - its not as simple as just throwing up a website and hoping for it to rank.

Here's a way to get your sites indexed quickly. Is My Site Indexed? Find Out In Two Easy Steps! Also shows you the SEO you need to do - in the "AboutUs" site when you scroll down.

I've had sites indexed in G in ten minutes using this.

It's a decent product. It works, there's no question about it, the most "famous" sniper is a dude called Anthony from Canada, I believe him to be the real deal; but as everyone else said here, your best bet is to actually pump up the sites you create. That way you get much better results

askloz

if you dont know how to make money online, then its a good product for you... if you've made some, in other areas and nothing about keyword research to find the paying ones, then this is for you.. but if you're an intermediate user online... i dont think it is suitable for you.

I gotta tell ya though, its a LOT better than GS 1.0.

DaveManTheCaveMan

I've made money with it.

PM me if you have any questions.

I've had some success; the eight sites I've built using this method all rank well for their chosen keywords. In addition to the methods outlined in the book, I've been using Article Marketing Robot to get additional backlinks.

Few conversions as of yet, but as others have pointed out, not every site is going to hit a home run.

It's also difficult to find keywords that aren't overly competitive.

GS 2.0 is a better-than-average product, mostly because it doesn't rely on anything other than old fashioned work. There's no trickery to it; you're just building sites and using SEO to draw visitors.

Thank you for your replies.

I'm not a beginner with making money online, just trying to find a better way to do it. I have a couple of "huge" sites that use to earn good Adsense - then the topics became too saturated and that went down. I want to diversify and add ClickBank, affiliates, CPA etc. Sniper seems so easy, just hoping that I get out of it what they claim.

All Night Cafe

I think you will be ok, just do the steps as he
lays them out. As mentioned above it does take
work.

As with any product, if you don't work the
system you get what you pay for.

I think the plan works, but don't put up hundreds,
set up some and then work a few of them.

Learn the system, then expand.

DesignerRamsey

Wanted to share - that I am now having success with the Sniper system.

One of the 6 I've done - one that I published on Feb. 28 is now on page one of Google - and I made my first sale this morning.

Small victory for me - at least I know this works!

Droopy Dawg

There are really 2 factors that will determine your Sniper site's success...

1. The keyword you choose - If you choose the wrong keyword you will be spinning your wheels.

2. The product you promote - If the product you're promoting doesn't appeal to the masses you'll DEFINITELY be spinning your wheels.

Your pre-sell article on your site also plays a part... so many factors.

davemiz

wow thats fast.... we have 2 sites we just put up 13 days ago.... ones getting rankings the other is slowly....

need to get more backlinks to get em ranked higher

robertorod

Yes, I tried Google Sniper and gave me good results. Recommended

iAmNameLess

I don't understand about all this I hear of Google sniper.... I must admit I downloaded a torrent to see what the fuss is about and I don't get it... Very basic stuff to me!

If you aren't doing well, I think it has to be with your keyword research that you aren't doing well.

watsonovedades

Hi iAmNameLess

You downloaded GS2 via torrent?, isnt that ilegal?, please correct me if i understood wrong

The Great Gordino

Funnily enough, I just watched the sales vid for this.
One of the key sales points, and it was repeated a few times, was that *no* backlinking was done?

Am a bit puzzled as to how they could be ranked so high in competitive niches with no backlinking?

DesignerRamsey

An update from me - NONE of my Sniper sites are working right - like the videos say. I'm very disappointed in them. I had one sale and one that ranked fairly well at first - then the Google Panda update hit - and they've fallen off - no traffic - no growth - no sales. I'm not convinced that it works. Tried contacting the owner of the system, and they haven't written back. So I give up on it.

I'm focusing on making content sites, and working what I know to work - and YES you have to get good back links, quality links.

masterjani

After panda update you need to have more unique content and backlinks to get your site to considerable position even using sniper.Anyway it takes less time than usual but there is some linkbuilding work needed there to achieve it.

scortillion

Are you past their refund period? If they don't answer you can usually get your refund through clickbank that is their payment processor.

I know in the past I have had a few refund aginst my account from clickbank without the customer even contacting me. Again that was a few years ago, but you may be able to get your refund from clickbank if the owner isn't answering you.

DesignerRamsey

I bought it in Feb - and they offer a 60 day, so by the time the Google update hit, it was too late for the refund, unfortunately.

I would think though, that he should address the update. Because I built 6 sites, and none are doing well. Not like the ebook "claims" for being able to build a small site with no back links - just a bit of social bookmarking. doesn't work for me anyway. I'm sorry I bought it.

iamchrisgreen

I've had some success with it and also combining it with the M.O.B.S system by Gary Gregory (fellow warrior and sniper expert).

askloz

sorry to hear that...

though that tends to be the first timers experience, even I (way before GS came out, i'm talking like about 10yrs ago), my first 15 sites or so wasn't profitable at all.

It came down to the keyword research...

Since you're a member of GS 2.0, first you've made a good choice, secondly, you need to contact them and ask them to review your sites, that's what you paid for, SUPPORT, don't do what most do and don't ask for help and give up after they feel they can't do it.

that's just leaving money on the table... So contact George's team, they will point you in the right direction

All the best and best of luck

Could you, please, clarify one thing (sorry if i missed it):

What is the competition? I don't care about the number. Which websites rank for your keyword? For example, If you've built an iphone GS website, you won't outrank Apple.com

Are there any authority websites?

redcontenido

hi DesignerRamsey, could you show me your sites? with GS2.

Rukshan

Why? Are you going to reverse engineering

DesignerRamsey

Ha ha blog8491 - thank you for the smile this morning!

My Sniper sites are:

Skin Tag Remover
Improve Eyesight Naturally
http://thedownloadmoviesite.com/
Air Purifier Ratings
Buy Stocks Without a Broker

And one that I'm not going to put on here because of the topic - a bit risque but it discusses a medical condition and how to cure it.

Now - the "numbers" on these bombed out after the Google Panda update. I really think George should address this - because I know I'm not the only person affected by it!

On all of these I did just as George in the Sniper ebook and videos suggested. The one I'm not showing ranked well at first - so did the Download Move site.

Now the air purifier site I'm trying an experiment - I'm adding LOTS more content - and will eventually also add Adsense to it. It's the only site that's growing -with traffic. I've done some Web 2.0 and blog commenting with it as well. I'm not ranking for the main term yet - but I am found for other terms.

I'm about to try another experiment with the other sites - per the advice of a well known person in here, and I'll share the results once I implement it.

visimedia

Yes, I think you just gotta build more serious backlink. In my opinion that's the only thing you gotta do right now to those sites

blgts

that's pretty well designed blog and articles.. i just wondering why it doesn't convert well

it's pretty clear that GS2.0 suggests low competition and pretty decent search volume, i think you have done that part

maybe the article and the banner play important role.

why not put bio box and the product link right below your bio box

or some hyperlinks to product site

I make most of my money with Sniper Sites although I do more than the 3 to 4 post that your typical SNIPER SITE has. I would recommend that you do more post first of all and then on top of that BUILD HIGH QUALITY BACKLINKS to your site!

I would also recommend that you do ARTICLE MARKETING as well as BUILD A MAILING LIST which is not something that your typical Sniper Site has. I use Aweber but you can always start with a more inexpensive Autoresponder service such as Get Response.

Then I would also recommend that you actively participate in FORUMS WITHIN YOUR CHOSEN NICHE! You obviously are going to want to include your SNIPER SITE within your Signature.

But in my opinion BACKLINKS are the most important factor in order to get a FIRST PAGE RANKING for your KEYWORD/DOMAIN!

Make sure that your Keyword is in your Domain url, Page Title, and Page Description as well.

For the BEST product on how to build Sniper Sites get Bring the Fresh they are constantly doing Case Studies, Have a VERY ACTIVE Forum, and are constantly keeping their overall site and product up too date for any changes within the IM industry!

It is by far the best value for your dollar IM PRODUCT that is out there!

I hope that helps you,

Tim

If the Google Panda update hurt your rankings and trust me I have over 80 sites and YES some of them were affected then you may want to find and INSTALL a Plugin that makes your content look UNIQUE by slightly altering the text so that it looks original to Google.

I have this problem because I have several sites usually within a niche and then I get lazy and use the same content from 1 site to the other.

From just looking at your Air Purifier site I noticed that your pictures at LEAST NOT ALL OF THEM didn't have your affiliate link in them, you will definitely want to make your pictures link over to the product you wouldn't believe how many people will run their mouse over your picture and then click if there is a link within it.

I know that I recommended Bring the Fresh and I still do but when it comes to selling Amazon products Sara Young's Easy Paycheck Formula is the BEST! Trust me you will love it so definitely look into getting that!

Also I would consider adding a STAR SYSTEM to show your ratings and you also have included POSITIVE and NEGATIVE comments from customers but you don't link over too say a TESTIMONIAL or even TESTIMONIALS.

So may want to do something like this:

John B said "I love my XJB Air Purifier and I have noticed that since buying it my allergies don't seem to be near as bad as they were... BLAH BLAH BLAH" and then put this was paraphrased to read the FULL REVIEW Click Here. This will get people to click on it and then perhaps make their purchase after reading it.

Also something that you may be leaving out and this will cost your make sure that you are using the Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer Wordpress Plugin.

This means if you have not already done so you will need to sign up as an Amazon Affiliate in at least the UK, Canada, and any other English speaking country otherwise if someone comes to your site say from Canada and they click on your link and purchase you are not going to get credit for the sale.

This is one thing that annoys me about Amazon but oh well.

Oh and say for something like the air purifier niche I always try and add a Clickbank product that may go along with it. So say they are looking for it because they have ASTHMA then add a Clickbank product that tells you how to Naturally deal with asthma and allergies.

I hope you find these tips helpful!

Hi. I've created some sniper sites and they all placed on page #1 for the main keyword.

KorsHandbag.com
FrenchConnectionDresses.com
MyOrganicKids.org (on page 2)
SintoAmplificatore.com (in italian)

I hire a copywriter of fiverr and some backlink services. I spend around $25 per site. What's is very very important, is NOT to get those services that will create thousands of backlinks in 1 day. Google will notice that and you will never get ranked.

I did that mistake with a top domain name (that I paid a lot!) and now I thinking about removing the entire site, ask Google to remove all the pages, and start it over again...

Start slowly with some web 2.0 bookmarks, ping a lot of servers when you add a post, do a couple of article submission of your spun content. Then wait...

Valerio

DesignerRamsey

blgts - thank you for the compliments. Actually my Air Purifier site is the only one that is doing well, because, as you can see - I've added a lot more content - and worked on backlinks.

Tim - Thank you for your kind advice. I agree with you on that front. My bone with the Sniper folks is that they should point this out in their "original" ebook and videos - that you can't make it unless you have more pages and more backlinks. They fail to address this point - making it sound like you put up a 5 page site - do a few social bookmarking links and sit back. That was the appeal I had to the course in the first place. But alas, it's back to what works - and that's putting hard work into each site.

Valerio - Agree. My plans are to convert these sites by working them the old fashioned way.

TimNesbitt

Don't try and get your site deindexed that is a horrible idea, if anything you are only in what is called a Google Sandbox and you will get out it is kind of like PURGATORY for websites.

This is where Google is essentially trying to figure out what is up with your site. If anything I would purchase 100 HIGH PR backlinks to your site. As a matter of fact I have a site for a VERY GOOD keyword that I bought about 6 weeks ago and had 100 High PR backlinks built for it and I am ranking 3rd on the first page for the term.

Google will never PUNISH you in the long term for backlinks because then all a competitor would have too do is BUY THOUSANDS OF BACKLINKS to someones site and then ruin your search ranking so if the backlinks are why your site is not currently ranking then it is only a temporary problem.

I bought the GS 2.0 shortly after it's launch about a year ago. I appreciated the information about creating wordpress websites, which was a gret education, but I never made any profit from the two sites which I spent so much time creating. I was a bit disappointed with GS staff lack of detail when I asked for assistance, and the fact that a lot of the focus in the follow-up webinars was in how to get quality backlinks (which were supposedly not necessary - according to the sales presentation), so I got the refund before the 60 day guarantee expired. I'm Glad I did so early on, because had I waited to see how my sites were performing, I would have gone past the 60 days.
I am currently subscribed to Sara Young's Insider Profit Club and getting the actionable steps to take in order to make my first 1,000 bucks per month. It's a guarantee from Sara herself and I feel very strongly that her system will not fail me. I can very easily tell that there is no B.S. about what she teaches. She's authentically interested in helping others make it over their 'brick walll' of resistance.
Her values are directly in line with my own, being a busy family man as well as being employed full time with only a dozen or so hours per week to dedicate to successfully build a business online. I need a system which will work and make me the maximum amount of profit in the shortest amount of time with as few steps as possible.
I will follow up with further posts to give further details about my endeavor's with Sara's system.

Another option which sticks, is Bring the Fresh.
