Googleshadow and Three PPC Keywords

Thanks for the info..

Yeah I imagined he cannot do it simply by promoting digital products. Physical products, even though they have lower commissions, can sell in huge volumes and bring good affiliate checks.. But I am surprised that he is a top affiliate for IM products by using direct linking, without a list or website :rolleyes:

Vjack,

Totally know where you are coming from -- and I ask myself
that, too!

But you know what?

I'm gonna say this about the whole "Why would he share the
whole thing to compete with the rest of the world?"...

Why would Jay Stockwell do the SAME thing with his software
Speed PPC that he created behind the scenes for himself first?

Because he wanted to HELP OTHER MARKETERS that needed
the SAME solution.

You can even listen to the whole entire webinar I did with Jay
back last July for my folks on the Anatomy of the Perfect
PPC Campaign (and nearly 4,398 people watched this)...

Anatomy of the Perfect PPC Campaign July 18 at 4 PM Pacific

Furthermore...

There are just so many products, digital products, subscriptions
and stuff to represent out there that I don't believe this will
even affect a little RIPPLE in the tense competition of the
scattered number of marketplaces out there (unless you keep
yourself confined to the IM niche).

Here's why even a RIPPLE is overly converative.

It's what I like to call the Law of Attrition.

It goes like this.

Every Tom, Dick and Harry jumps into this game.

Let's say we have 10,000 people hop on board to buy the
Google Shadow Software just as an example, okay?

I think I am in place of certainty when I say that about .5% of
the population ever really succeeds at trying something --
and I mean REALLY succeeding.

(30 days after people buy products, if not earlier, they realize
the stuff requires work, a lot more mental fortitude than they
have to push through the resistance of learning and guess
what? They up and quit and move onto the next smashing
product launch.)

"Smashing Basil -- I truly love it baby -- it's making me randy
baby. But Basil, what DOES it all mean?"

(with a highly confused look on Austin Powers face) ;D

And you see why the circle of never ending product launches
will never quit? The Inner Circle knows this and they prey
on it like having the mightiest hawk vision.

There is SO MUCH distraction and confusion in the marketplace
created by everyone trying to grab their share of the market,
the larger figures know that there will be constantly those
searching for the "NO WORK" Magic ATM Button Program.

So when someone with a simple plan comes forward like Tim and
is so cut and dry, it's easy to dismiss the simplicity of it all.

I started here on the net in early 2001 with Secrets2Success.com,
yup -- I'll admit -- I was a sucker too! (what scam that was,
basically a chain letter, but that shows what part of the
evolutionary cycle I was in.

So I am YET to find the magic button on the keyboard or on
the mouse click that sends money shooting out of my computer.

And just so you know -- and I will readily admit this in my own
patterns -- I have now since July 08 represented 3 different PPC
products (I think Jim is trying to say something about himself
and trying compensate for the fact that he's really strong in
Organic Search Positioning, but truly lame in PPC positioning).

And that's exactly why I don't only represent, I am actually
using this stuff in my business (and why I am increasingly and
alarmingly selective now who I deal with as I've been abused
and taken advantage of by internet marketers who pulled drive
bys on me!)

Back to the lecture at hand with the whole ATTRITION thing.

There will be a certain number of folks who have a mediocre
or fair share of success that is measurable, but it's NOT break-
through success. ($500 - $1000 a month).

These kind of people either stay at this success level or they
begin to get aware of what they are actually doing and listening
to the people that they are modeling, maybe get some private
mentoring and then move up to the next level. There is this
thing that happens in every arena, even with athletes, that is
call "Plateauing" where you get to a certain level of skill until
you require someone with a much great level of skill to pull
you up a notch. (THIS IS WHY MODELING IS KEY FOLKS. In
other words, WATCH who you are modeling!) Okay, so...

Some stick with it and end up having breakthroughs by making
clear distinctions on what works and what doesn't (and this
requires testing and watching your stats -- okay -- so perhaps
you have to become a stats freak)

So let's just say conservatively speaking that we have 2% of
the 10,000 folks.

Somebody help me with the math here.

We've got like 200 people that are truly doing this STILL like a
month, two months and three months later.

So you CAN clutter your mind with all these limitations and all these
barriers that will keep you from taking action and actually committing
to a SPECIFIC course of action that actually is a target.

I'm telling you Vjack that your issue is NOT this or that and it's
not ALL the people that will have this tool (that's ALL in your mind),
because when you apply ATTRITION to the calculation, you are
simply removing yourself from the game as a result of that belief
you are somehow holding onto (and I'm not going to try and relieve
you of it because it may be dear to you -- that belief).

But again -- I'm not here to psycho-analyze you, but I believe there
are deeper issues that are holding you back and if you and I have ONE
phone conversation, we can eliminate the FEAR, that OBSTACLE that
keeps finding some REASON NOT to commit or attach to any one thing
that could have a potential alarmingly positive outcome.

I mean -- all you have to do is go ahead and pick up the phone and
dial one of my main numbers:

1-800-624-8493
1-760-208-2111

(I'll be heading to Tahoe tomorrow -- so I can't promise I'll be able to
get back in touch with you until next Wednesday, but I think with a
call or two, you could be well and on your way to a limitless future
that doesn't hold you back.)

Most people simply need to let go of some limiting belief or deal
with a current obstacle that is constantly pinning them in a war
of words here or there why some THING can't work and won't work
and staying devout to that position until you die of simply a broken
heart because you didn't attain your dreams and Social Security
simply couldn't withstand the Baby Boomer generation (so a heart
attack was imminent).

I've seen lives transformed on the other side of catching people as
they walked across fire on the first day of a 4-Day Tony Robbins
event where I crewed and volunteered 5 days of my life just for
the cause of helping people transform their lives (no personal
agenda or motive at all - but I actually found out some interesting
marketing things within the Robbins organization as a result of
crewing and you can imagine that I'll be doing that again one
day to gather some further intel). But let me say this about
the Tony Robbins experience (and I'm sure other Warriors can
vouch for it...

It was THE MOST profound experience I can even say and it's
something I would highly recommend. I overcame my own limitations
and fear of speaking in front of crowd and so many limiting
thoughts that truly broke me from the rutt I was in from working
this online rag and being stuck at $20k - $30k range (yeah,
don't rake me over the coals because I aint got it so bad). I
did my TIME and my 4 year bachelor's sentence and am here to
help!

See -- we all seem to not realize that we have what are called
Guidance Systems in us. And if we point ourselves at a target,
more often than not, our brains are developed in such a way as
to go and follow the mission right straight to that target (until
it's completed).

Common mistake when people end up reaching the first goal...

What folks do (and I did this same thing too), I achieved my first
goal, but I forgot to set a NEW goal (dufous me). Somebody
find me a hammer.

So while Personal Power 2 (listening to it about 10 different times
over the course of 2 years while driving back and forth to my
regular Just Over Broke JOB) that was a good series that got me
to a CERTAIN level, but the next level had to be achieved with a
LIVE UPW event and I was lucky enough to be in a position financially
to sit about 7 feet (2 rows) from the massive figure known as Tony.

(The dude is awesome and the passion and enthusiasm he generates
on stage is dynamic and I've seen nothing else like it anywhere
on the planet. If PT Barnum were alive today, he would marvel
in that man's magnificence and brilliance in the marketing and
movement Tony Robbins has created around the world.)

I told my pro copywriter this tonight on the phone. I believe in the
law of attraction, and I use it on a daily basis to draw things into
me (I'm going beyond the Secret here folks). So I told him...

"Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it if you
continue to visualize it on a daily basis in your mind's eye."

You get what you concentrate on. (I believe that firmly and saw
this in the way my mother has continued down a road of deeper
and deeper depression because she decides to concentrate on
the actual DARK stuff in life. Point made? Let's continue.)

If you believe you are up against an impermeable object or a MASS
of competition and you have no clue how to strategically muscle
yourself and put yourself OUT ABOVE THE REST, it's time to go back
to the planning board and find out a way to reposition yourself in
your marketplace.

But do it strategically with the thought of Pre-Eminence in your mind
from the mind of Jay Abraham.

The habit of thinking strategically and growing that muscle with clear
precise steps to achieve market dominance puts you in the place
where MOST will never be because they are stuck in the lullaby of
trying to STILL figure out which way they should head.

Unfortunately, WE did not come with a manual NOR a map that tells
us which way to go. And this huge soup of information out here
with people yelling over here and people yelling over there does
NOT help the situation for you, me and the newbie just now coming
on the net.

Somebody just stop the madness and the excess stimulii from bombarding
me -- ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh!

;D

When you apply strategic thinking to a situation and begin mind-mapping
it, you begin to uncover flaws and soft spots in what you think would
make a good business model in whatever marketplace you decide to enter.

This is good because once you think out the steps, you can then begin
to find a way to strengthen the potholes that lay in your plan and
foresee potential ramifications that may play out in the future.

Flexing your thinking cap and really applying probing questions to a
given matter will allow you to look at the matter in different shades
and perspectives and increase your strategic thinking powers.

This is the talent -- I can guarantee -- and I haven't even asked
Tim Houston this question -- that both he has and it's something I
am constantly using every day (even when I take a shower in the
morning time).

I am engrossed in my business and it's ALL consuming ... ;D

I have a toolset up in my brain that guides me through this forest
and jungle and the only thing I use to navigate through the mess
is my GUT INSTINCT. I've found to trust in it and quite frankly,
now, I never doubt it.

GUT INSTINCT, once you tune into the radio frequency of your
own gut, it will allow you to make SPLIT SECOND decisions
that will slice, dice and quite dramatically paralyze your competition.

When you can ACT QUICK, you can stun, mame and literally cripple
opponents. (Please read Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun)

Amazon.com: Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun:...
Bottom line, tools are an ends to a mean. If you got no skill to
begin with, a tool will do you no good. It, the TOOL, is only as
good as the Master that crafted the tool to begin with.

You don't hand a razor sharp Samurai Sword to a man or woman
who has never touched it.

You don't send a 2nd year pre-med student in to perform even
an appendectomy, because that med student is NOT a doctor.

You don't see any 1st year mechanic with just a simple certification
working on BMWs right away. Okay, so maybe that was a bad
example, but you get the point.

If you are even considering Google Shadow, or any tool, it's
the actual process of what the tool does that you must
commit yourself to as those will be your daily duties that must
become part of your daily routine.

A lot of this stuff is click, click, click, but it's the critical thinking
part, the decision making skills, the daily habitual disciplines that
are executed perfectly which separates the weak from the strong.

I could go on and on with this stuff, but it would turn into a complete
mind conditioning seminar over the course of 6 days that would end up
costing you a mortgage payment... ;D

I read the Google statement above to mean that they do not want a domain to automatically re-direct.

I think you are confusing re-directs with what Tim calls direct linking.

As long as your display URL and the END destination URL are the same then it is fine. It is working fine.

Overall, just like any PPC product, there is a very deliberate process for Market Research. if you expect to do any, and I mean any, Google Adwords campaigns and you haven't researched your target market and product effectively, your chances of failing are already at 95% before you even begin.

What happens most of the time is people try to do these campaigns with products or promotions they like instead of doing the legwork they need to do to truly be effective. But then again, keyword and product research ebooks don't sell as well.

Preparation for any PPC campaign is more important than anything. Most of the time these products fail to address that properly.

Google Shadow does an "OK" job at doing this.
