For All Your IPK and Niche Sites - Boost Your Profits with Price Comparisons and Site Builder System

[FrankHaywood]

SORRY, THIS OFFER NOW CLOSED

Just $1 Is All It Takes To Stop Struggling, Take Control, Become Productive and Start Building Your Business

If you're seriously looking to build a business but you're pushed for time because you're holding down a job, then this will solve your problem.

Late last year a product was launched that is already changing lives for a lot of people. It's one of those very few systems that is both logical and VERY EASY for anyone to grasp.

It makes sense based on what you already know as a Warrior - that's not always the case with many products.

I've had people tell me that for the first time ever, they've got sites on page 1 and some in position 1 of Google for their target terms and are making money. They are THRILLED with the system.

(The system is called IPK.) That's NOT what is up for sale today, and you DON'T need it to take advantage of this WSO.

(IPK is obvious, simple, brilliant. Thank you Craig.)

I snagged my own copy in late October, tested it all worked to my satisfaction and whole heartedly recommended it to my subscribers. So far most everybody seems happy with it - there have been mixed achievements.

I personally think it's just down to perseverance, understanding and patience.

All qualities that are well advised for any serious business builder.

As good as the method is, I saw that the biggest down side was the very manual nature of the Price Comparisons that you needed to put on your site. You really need the Price Comparisons to get the best results from your traffic...

First you had to create the comparisons with your affiliate link embedded and cloaked, then you had to keep the prices up to date by checking them every day or so.

What a pain...

So one of my developers and I (Paul) set about correcting that and created a SIMPLE to use method of generating auto-updating Price Comparisons for each product on every site we put up.

In the process of creating the Price Comparisons, we also decided to speed up the whole Site Building aspect of it too.

Yes, we got a bit carried away.

The result? Keep reading...

Two Stages

Stage 1 - Fast, Easy To Build Price Comparisons

We put together a powerful tool that enables you to create a Price Comparison by first doing a search on your target product name, and then clicking to add the selling merchants (Amazon, Wal-Mart / ASDA etc.) to a Price Comparison together with your affiliate link embedded AND cloaked.

Simple. Nothing more complicated than that. Search - click. Hey presto! Job done.

We've so far added support for Amazon US, Amazon UK, Trade Doubler, Link Share, Affiliate Window and Commission Junction affiliate networks. We'll add more as we go. YOU tell us which ones.

Stage 2 - Turbo Charged Site Builder

We then added the Site Builder.

This is an INCREDIBLE piece of kit.

All you need to do is enter the keywords etc once on the core details page, add some text for the product on the pre-defined template driven pages, and upload the graphics for it into your image bank.

When you're done editing in the WYSIWYG editor, you click "publish" and the entire site is built on your target domain using FTP.

The Site Builder will automatically generate all your Google optimised pages with the info you filled in on the core details page, including an SEO friendly site map.

The Price Comparison you add is also template driven and automatically updates every few hours. You don't need to set up a cron, the script updates it for you.

All of your affiliate links on the site are automatically cloaked with SEO friendly URLs.

How cool is that?

There are quite a few people using this now, but for me the real acid test was giving it to my wife.

Let me explain.

My Wife, The Webmaster

Three weeks ago, my wife had never done anything like this before, and knew nothing about site building or FTP etc.

Two weeks ago I sat down with her and showed her how to build a site using Dreamweaver.

The first site took her a few hours - it's now ranking on page 1 of Google for some of the terms we were targetting and pulling in traffic. A testimony to the power of IPK.

(Her second site was much faster.)

ONE week ago I showed her the new Site Builder. It took her about 2h 30 to build her first site with it. She was slowed down by me talking too much.

Her next site took about 90 minutes. The next took just over an hour.

I know that by the end of next week she'll be building IPK style sites in under an hour INCLUDING the market research to unearth the next product she's going to promote.

This is someone who until recently had only ever posted to a blog I'd set up for her - that was the limit of her technical abilities...

On Page SEO

The sites that are generated are fully on page SEO'd with plenty of internal links with relevant anchor text, including an auto generated site map. Lots of work has been done to ensure that key words, page titles and descriptions are unique to each page built - all vitally important when you're building sites like this.

The whole system is incredibly powerful and will have you banging out Google friendly sites like there's no tomorrow.

Imagine this for a moment...

If each of your sites generates $50 per month, and adding Price Comparisons substantially increases your revenue, then paying even $5 for just one site is well worth every penny spent. (The price we're charging is NOWHERE near that high.)

It's like... er... you need an autoresponder service, right? The cost doesn't matter if it makes you much more money, yep?

Okay, so How Much Does It Cost?

Low Cost WSO - Just $15 / Month

The special price to Warriors is a $1 trial for 12 days, and then half price at $15 / month for UNLIMITED Price Comparisons and use of the Site Builder.

We're currently charging $30 / month for access to the service. The only promotion I've had to do to make this a roaring success is to my own subscribers, yet we're now getting new sign ups every day and so far ZERO unsubscribes.

The word is spreading...

(I have JV partners all lined up ready for a promotion at 50% recurring when we've tweaked a few bits and pieces.)

This WSO brings to all Warriors the exact same service for HALF the current price.

We've already been told, and I quote:-

"At four times the price it would be cheap!"

I'm 100% certain that this service is exactly what you need to help you build your niche sites and to build a business, but if you're a little uncertain I completely understand.

That's why we're offering a $1 trial for 12 days.

That's more than enough time to try it out and cancel if you think it isn't worth it.

The thing is, I know you won't want to, once you have it.

After the 12 days is up you'll be billed for $15 and then again every calendar month.

If at any time you decide it isn't for you, you can cancel knowing that ALL the sites you've built are completely stand alone.

Yep, that's what I said.

Stand alone.

So you have NOTHING to worry about with being locked into a service. You can opt out at any time with no down side - I think that's always important to know up front.

Once you've built your sites, you can download them as a zip file to your desktop and edit them with your favorite web editor if you really wanted to.

Having said that, it's far better to edit them in the WYSIWYG editor we provide as after you've done editing you can just re-publish the sites with your changes with just a couple of clicks.

It's easy. If you own web a browser you can use this service.

Tell Me Again...

Just to recap then.

It's a one dollar 12 day trial and then $15 / month.

You can opt out any time and your sites will still work and are still editable with any web tool.

You can create UNLIMITED Price Comparisons for your sites.

You can build UNLIMITED sites with the Site Builder.

Okay?

I know it's a bit of a cliche, but the next time you look, you could end up paying double the price here today...

What Else?

One last thing. In about a month we'll be adding something new that will make the whole thing a LOT better. I don't want to spoil the fun and say what it is right now, but it'll put a BIG smile on your face.

I personally can't wait until this extra bit is done.

What are you waiting for?

Click the link, get your trial and start building your business.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

Does this site builder follow all the seo techniques that are taught in IPK to get good rankings?

[Vijay M]

I'm confused. what exactly does the membership provide? Will I lose the price comparison feature if I opt out of your program?
2)where will the sites be hosted?
3)Can these features be integrated into an existing site or blog?

Hi SpudDS,

Yes it does. At the moment there's one base system template and we'll be adding some more. Or you can just build your own template based on the system one, and this can be dramatically different to the IPK style sites if you wanted it to be.

Or you can start from scratch. I reckon an hour's fiddling in the panel and you'll know most of it inside out, it's not difficult to use.

What we've done is adopted the same style as the IPK sites, and made sure that each of the pages generated has fairly unique meta data.

So for instance the "buy-productname.php" page will have keywords something like "buy, %MAIN-KEYWORD%, %MANUFACTURER%, %SECOND-KEYWORD%", while another page may have "%MAIN-KEYWORD%, %MANUFACTURER%, %SECOND-KEYWORD%, %COUNTRY CODE%" on it.

You can of course add extra keywords manually into the pages.

The placeholders are then populated with your keywords at publish time, the same is true of placeholders in the content on the web pages themselves. Once published, if you look at the site and don't like what's output, you can tweak it in the Site Builder and republish.

The important thing is it's fast and it produces pages that Google likes.

Hi Vijay,

#1 - If you unsubscribe the price comparisons will be frozen as a snapshot when you unsubscribed. You can continue to edit them manually if you wish. Your cloaked affiliate links will continue to work. The entire site is standalone and will continue to work, and you can edit it with your favourite browser. Follow the link and watch the Site Builder video for more detail.

#2 - The sites are hosted on your own web hosting. We're not in the hosting business. Maybe if enough people ask we'll integrate some servers into the service, but we don't really see that as something we want to do.

#3 - Nope. Unless you put your Site Builder sites into a sub-directory. the Site Builder wipes and re-publishes where you tell it to when you enter your FTP settings.

I hope that helps.

[Richelo Killian]

I have known Frank for many years, and was lucky enough to be invited to test this system out.

Let me tell you something.... It blew my mind!

It is dead simple to use, and amazingly quick to set your sites up!

This is one of those few absolute no-brainers that comes around once in a while!

[hotlinkz]

Frank,

Can you point us to a current working price comparison site created with your system?

Thanks

[Melody]

Frank - this sounds amazing! Do the sites we build have RSS feeds by any chance?

And would love to see a sample of the site produced!

Hi Richelo,

Yep, I know it's my own product, but if someone else had done this I'd completely flip over it. We've got plans to make it a lot bigger over the next few months and I don't want to say much more than that about it for now.

I'll have to relaunch it when we add in what our ultimate goal is in a few months time. We'll want to use the new stuff ourselves to be able to provide proof of what the new functionality will be capable of.

Cheers,

-Frank Haywood

[Melody]

Just watched the video and signed up - you know what I will be doing over the weekend!

[Melody]

BTW - can you combine the pages created to make a multi-product site or is this pretty much just for the single product mini-sites?

[ptone]

Hi Frank,

I used the IPK system over the Christmas holidays and was very pleased with the results, so I'm very interested in your WSO. But, I have a couple of questions.

1. Can you show us a site that was built with the site builder?

2. If we buy now, are we locked into the $15 monthly fee, or will the price increase later?

3. Can we build as many sites as we want with the site builder?

Thanks.

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Hotlinkz and Melody,

Shhh... Don't tell anybody about this site as it's only just gone up a few days ago.

I don't mind revealing a niche site to show off what the Site Builder and Price Comparisons can do. Please don't ask for any more.

This is one my wife selected and built. On reflection I may not have gone for this particular product as there isn't enough search for it, and the competition is relatively high at 2,000,000 pages. I think we went for it because it's an "up and comer" and has had good reviews. Our logic here is that it may well become more sought after in the coming months.

X540 - info about the Logitech X540 Speaker 5.1

I've just checked and on Google UK it's on page 2 in position 5 already. So just another 14 jumps to get it #1.

x540 speaker - Google Search

Of course that's what I can see in the UK, it may appear differently to you wherever you are.

Yes, we intend to add RSS feeds and also Wordpress-like ping functionality to get sites indexed faster.

I'll shortly be working on a Wordpress look and feel style template with a sidebar ready to use with the RSS feeds and ping ability when it's ready.

Vijay, I've just re-read your question and engaged my brain properly this time.

The Price Comparisons can go on a WP site as you can just download the code for those and FTP it to your site manually.

Wherever you put a price comparison, then you'll have to tell the Price Comparison system where the supplied routine to update the prices has been placed. The system will then just call your site every few hours to update your prices.

Alternatively, you could set up a cron job on your domain and do it that way instead. Whatever turns you on really. It's been deliberately made as flexible as possible.

-Frank Haywood

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Melody,

Hey thanks for that, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I just checked and I've had the system generated emails bounced back to me from Earthlink - an order confirmation and your login details. That's annoying because we use AuthSMTP.com to get our mail through. Oh well.

I'll PM you in a few moments with your details.

There's no reason why you couldn't build yourself a template to handle "mother" sites rather than wait for us to do one - I'll get round to it as soon as I can.

I was thinking about this the other day, and we need a different method to handle multiple price comparisons on a single site. At the moment we use a placeholder variable called %PRICE-COMPARISON% which is fine for single product sites, but isn't going to be enough for the mother site.

I'll talk to Paul about it and see if we can't get a more flexible method of presenting the price comparisons.

It won't stop you from creating and using multiple comparisons on a mother site as you'll just be able to add them manually, but it would be much better if we had a system integrated method of doing it.

-Frank Haywood

[FrankHaywood]

Hi ptone,

If you've used it over Christmas, then you're still a subscriber as we haven't had anyone unsubscribe yet. My guess is you've seen the Price Comparisons, but not noticed we added the Site Builder to the menus a couple of weeks ago.

Once you subscribe, the price is fixed until you unsubscribe. After that you'll only be able to re-subscribe at whatever the going rate is.

The $15 that it is in this WSO is the lowest it will ever be.

-Frank Haywood

[hotlinkz]

Frank,

Will this work with sub-domains? I would like to create a sub-domain for each product
(i.e. product-name.hotlinkz.net).

Guess what I'm asking is can the sub-domain folder be entered in the FTP root folder
field? And will the cron setup work properly with this type setup?

Thanks!

Sorry about the confusion...I meant that I purchased IPK then used the methodology from IPK to concentrate on selling Christmas items. I have not subscribed to your service yet (but am seriously considering it right now).

[Melody]

Quote:
Wherever you put a price comparison, then you'll have to tell the Price Comparison system where the supplied routine to update the prices has been placed. The system will then just call your site every few hours to update your prices.

So would we need to create an /out/ folder in each directory then for each product?

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Melody,

If you use the Site Builder to create your sites, then it's automagic - you don't need to do anything other than create your comparison and build your site. All the little twiddly bits get done for you.

Otherwise if you're using say Wordpress and want us to update your prices every few hours then you'll need to paste the URL into the box within the comparison manager once you've created one.

So for instance it would look something like this:-

http://www.domain.com/out/retrievecomparison-123456.php

The Vendiva site would then call that update routine every few hours for you. Alternatively you could set up a cron and run it yourself. You don't have to put in /out/ if you're doing it manually, but if you let the system take the stress, that's what it will use. We've just been asked in the Vendiva forum if people can select the /out/ directory and call it something else so we'll look at that at some point.

If you let the Site builder automagically handle it all then you don't have to worry about the updates, all the fields will get filled in and it will just happen for you.

It's a lot simpler than it at first looks.

Speaking of automagically doing things, any .css or .js files that are created within the Site Builder don't need to be called in anywhere. The Site Builder just assumes you want to use them and builds all your pages with them included.

That's just one of the reasons why I said it's an incredible piece of kit. All the little things that you'd normally have to take care over which eat away your productivity are done automatically for you.

Because we've made it flexible, you can also ignore the automatically done stuff and do it manually if you want to. I don't think you'll want to.

When you have that breakthrough moment and realise how quickly you can put sites together by relaxing and letting the system take the stress...

That will be the moment when you won't want to ever lose what you have.

Build a comparison, then build a site, and see what happens.

I hope that helps.

BTW - There's a *really* nice bunch of people in the Vendiva forum, just follow the link off the menus at the top of the Vendiva.com site and say hello.

Cheers,

Frank Haywood.

[Melody]

Thanks - also sent you a PM and a support ticket - having a little glitch but I know based on this response that we'll be in good hands with anything that might crop up!!

Looks like fun ;-)

Melody

[FrankHaywood]

Hi CeeJ,

Yep, you can set both your FTP and the directory you wish to publish to in the Site Builder.

Normally with a cPanel server for your main domain, this would be something like:-

ftp: ftp.hotlinkz.net
directory: public_html

If you had created a sub-domain for product-name, then it might look something like:

ftp: ftp.hotlinkz.net
directory: public_html/product-name

OR

ftp: product-name.hotlinkz.net
directory: public_html

It depends on how you create your sub-domain and add-on domains etc.

We made it as flexible as we could.

Cheers,

Frank Haywood

[FrankHaywood]

Hi ptone,

Ohhh - gotcha! I understand, thanks for the clarification.

Hi Melody,

Well thank you!

We're totally committed to putting up IPK sites, and we're also totally committed to making the service as good as we can so that we can put up even more IPK sites in the same time.

Thanks,

Hi Cindy,

There's no denying it, you *will* need some techy skills, and an understanding of FTP and HTML never hurts if you're going to be working online.

I did a video a while back about what FTP is, and how to use it:-

What Is and How To FTP

and there's also a video about how to use the Site Builder:-

IPK Site Builder

I think if you watch those you'll be able to make a decision yourself about whether to go for it or not.

Two more things worth saying. There's an active IPK discusssion going on at the Vendiva forum and I reckon someone there would help you out, and this is just a $1 trial for 12 days. If you don't like it, it's only a dollar.

All the best,

Frank Haywood.

CeeJ

Hi CeeJ,

Yes. You add your affiliate network details and then search by product. The network will then pull back all merchants that stock that product. You can then add those merchants/products to your comparison by clicking a link next to the merchant.

It's worth me saying that sometimes the merchant feed data isn't up to date for every merchant. We don't know whether that's the fault of the merchant not sending the network the right feed data, or if it's the network not keeping it all up to date. We suspect it's the merchant.

Garbage in, garbage out.

That's why we added a manual override option. You can change all aspects of the data returned.

What I tend to do is check all my links the first time I put the site up, and then if a merchant is returning bad data, I either put their price up, or set it to zero which marks the product as out of stock.

After all, the whole point of this is to get people off to Amazon where they pay higher commissions and do a better job of converting prospects to buyers.

The Amazon feeds are flawless and always up to date. They pretty much make many other merchants look stupid.

Once my price comparison is in place, I check it a couple of weeks later to see if it needs tweaking (it usually doesn't), and then I forget about it.

Those merchants who don't feed accurate data pay the price of no clicks from my site.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

Hi Hotlinkz, Frank & other posters,

Forgive me but at first I just skimmed this post and couldn't work out if you are asking about subdomains with the IPK strategy, or with this software. I just realised now but you may be interested in this...

As for use with the IPk strategy we tested sub domains with far less success. So you may wish to make that a consideration.

I've seen that subdomains/pages can rank very well in the serps for the types of strategy covered in IPK; ONLY if the main domain has a significant amount of pages and backlinks - I'm talking over a hundred pages or more.

Infact it's these types of sites that are easy pickings with the Info Product Killer strategies which can be far more powerful in terms of SERPS.

I wouldn't recommend subdomains to replace small niche sites when applying the IPK strategies unless you ARE talking a big site.

Craig
(IPK Team)

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Craig,

You ARE the man. I think a lot of people owe you a beer or two.

Thanks for your comments about sub-domains. I've been exclusively taking out new domains based on my keywords and I'm seeing several of them on p1 of Google now for their target terms. And in one case surprisingly something that we hadn't really targetted, although we'd mentioned it a few times.

That quite valuable keyword has a lot of search and 11 million pages of competition, and we're bubbling around slot 5 for it with a site that's only been up about 2 weeks. That's yet another amazing testimony to the power of the IPK site format.

If anyone reading this has been in any doubt as to how truly useful IPK is, stop doubting and get yourself a copy. Apply the learning religiously and wait. Be patient and stick with the program. You will start to see results.

It's not hard to do, and it will make dang good sense to you when you read it through and watch the videos.

I believe that the last product that made such a difference to so many people was Jonathan Leger's (now Don Morris) 7 Dollar Script.

Cheers,

Frank Haywood

[shareitall]

Frank,

Is it necessary to also have the knowledge that's in your IPK product, or does this stand alone... or is IPK info part of the training for the Site Builder?

I did watch the Site Builder video... and don't feel completely comfortable with strategies on how to use it.

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Daniel,

IPK isn't my product, it's Craig's (USEO) above.

I thoroughly recommend it, especially if you don't have knowledge of affiliate strategies for promoting physical products as pretty much everything you need to know to get you up and running is included.

You'll find it's one of the best buys you've ever made.

If you're still unsure about whether or not to commit yourself, take a look round the Vendiva forum and have a read of what's going on there. You'll see there are quite a few people who have embraced IPK and are going for it in 2009 - myself included.

One final thing.

Like any systematic method of building a business, you have to be sure of what you're doing, and you have to be committed to it. I think it's unlikely that you'll see fantastic results with just a few hours work. You need to have some resolve and approach it with an "I will succeed" attitude, and put the time in.

Once you get over the initial hurdle of putting up your first site, everything becomes a lot easier, and the more you do, the easier it gets.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

[Spencer Chun]

Hey Frank,

I am part of IPK and I know for a fact that they are implementing a site builder for their members. Is this totally different? Trying this out for a dollar sounds like a no brainer.

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Spencer,

Whoops! I missed your question, sorry. Yes, this is totally different.

In fact Paul (the developer) and I have been having a bit of a chat, and we reckon we can tweak it a bit and make it possible to build all sorts of niche sites, not just IPK sites. We have some very exciting ideas outside the IPK methods that the Site Builder would be ideal for - we'll share that when we've built it.

The beauty of the system we've developed is it's template driven with placeholders and so it's very flexible. You're not pinned down to one style of site, you can build your own template and use it to base all your other sites on.

We've also just added an auto-generated RSS feed in the last couple of days, and plan to shortly add email gathering ability, and a WordPress like ping of update services such as Pingomatic, so the the SEs index your sites faster.

This is all built into the base system template, and just works automagically when you publish your site.

We also have under test a WordPress plugin that will allow you to place auto updating Price Comparisons on your blogs. We've done that because we're toying with using WP blogs for the "mother" sites.

We'll release that free plugin to all our subscribers in a couple of days once we're happy it's behaving itself.

Plus we have a few more things up our sleeve that we don't want to discuss just yet.

It's a one time fee of $79 using the discount code on that page, and it still works (I tested it).

It's a "year round" strategy training, with christmas season being.. well, CHRISTMAS.

Very worth while.

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Guys,

Our service does all that Craig's does except the one click adding of Amazon banners and AdSense, but that's easily added using the "snippet" functionality we've built in so we'll take a look at that later today or tomorrow. However it's quite easy to add banners and Amazon / eBay widgets etc if you want to just by copying and pasting the widget.

We put the Site Builder together with flexibility in mind just so you could do that kind of thing.

(Hmm. Why would you put AdSense on an IPK style site?)

If you go through Craig's WSO, you can tick every box for ours too (apart from the above), with ours having the addition of:-

o An AFFILIATE SCHEME paying 50% recurring monthly commission. Oh... YES!

o Auto-updating price comparisons via a live feed from several affiliate networks - no MANUALLY updating your prices (although you can do that if you want to). Amazon US and UK, Affiliate Window, Commission Junction, Link Share, Trade Doubler in place now, with more to come. COR that's good innit?!?

o Automated RSS feed generated when you one-click publish the site. So you can submit your site via TWO different channels, the URL to the site and also the RSS feed. Double whammy.

o Self-hosted - we feel that's vitally important. We looked at hosting but feedback said that's a no-no and we don't think it's in our subscribers interest. Your site is published by good old FTP from the Site Builder.

o All the sites you build continue to work (apart from price comparisons which just stop updating) if you decide to unsubscribe.

o You own the sites and you can FLIP them if you want to, less the automated price comparisons of course. Just get your buyers to subscribe to Vendiva.com using your affiliate link to earn even more money.

o When you publish, as YOU OWN the sites completely they go LIVE immediately. No waiting for approval from us.

o Template driven. You can create your own site templates and use those to create your sites to stop that "cookie-cutter" look. We'll shortly be adding a set of templates we're working on and will add new ones regularly. We think it's important your sites look and feel different.

o A WordPress plugin for displaying multiple product comparisons on a WP based "mother site". (We hope to release some new WP themes as part of this package, and we're looking into that at the moment. Can't promise that yet, but that's what we're aiming for.)

o Half the price of the IPK service.

Vendiva.com

Regular price $30 / month with a 12-day $1 trial.
WSO Price $15 / month with a 12-day $1 trial.

IPK

Regular price $29.97 / month with talk of a $59.99 price
WSO Price $29.97 / month (hmm, now I've written it down that doesn't sound like a "Warrior Special" price...)

o VERY active forum with members releasing PSD graphics and even software such as free cross linking scripts to other members.

o You can easily add banners and widgets from merchants such as Amazon, ClickBank, etc and you can also even add an Amazon AStore if you wish to. Flexibility is the key!

o Once you've built a site, you can clone it to create another one.

o The engine behind the Site Builder has been in development since 2003.

Apart from all of that, in test is a Wordpress-like one-click ping of the online update services. If you're not sure what that means, I'll quickly explain.

One of the reasons why WP is such a darling among us marketers is because even brand new sites with WP on them get indexed quickly. That's because every time you make a new post, WP "pings" updates services like pingomatic etc, which then notify Google. Ta-daa! Shortly afterwards, Google indexes the pages.

The Vendiva.com Site Builder now has that functionality in test. We built a new site yesterday and sent out an update ping last night. There are no other links to that new site, and if all goes well at some point in the next day or so it will appear in the Google index.

I hope the above helps you in making the right decision.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

As for use with the IPk strategy we tested sub domains with far less success. So you may wish to make that a consideration.

I've seen that subdomains/pages can rank very well in the serps for the types of strategy covered in IPK; ONLY if the main domain has a significant amount of pages and backlinks - I'm talking over a hundred pages or more.

Infact it's these types of sites that are easy pickings with the Info Product Killer strategies which can be far more powerful in terms of SERPS.

I wouldn't recommend subdomains to replace small niche sites when applying the IPK strategies unless you ARE talking a big site.

What about addon domains? Do IPK sites on addon domains rank well? I have "unlimited" hosting for domains at hostgator but really they are just addon domains to my one main domain. And isn't an addon domain basically a subdomain anyway?

Hi Maverick,

No, an addon domain is a fully fledged domain which you've added to your cPanel account. So say your main domain was abc123xyzabc.com and you registered another domain at your registrar pqrs789tuvw.net, then you could add it to your web hosting account as an addon domain. This way you avoid paying for additional web hosting fees.

The addon domain would appear as a sub-directory if you connected to your main domain via FTP.

A sub-domain can be created as part of your main domain, and in the example above might be seen as pqrs789tuvw.abc123xyzabc.com. You wouldn't have to register another domain as you've created the subdomain off your existing domain.

The sub-domain would ALSO appear as a sub-directory if you connected to your main domain via FTP.

The concensus of opinion is that sub-domains don't work as well as domains when targetting keywords, which is why people don't do it very much. If you add a lot of content to a sub-domain and get a lot of back links, then they would likely work just as well, but it's a lot more effort. I'd rather just register a well-targetted domain name and save myself a lot of effort.

I hope that helps.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

hello Frank ,
Can you give us an estimate on when your product will work with Share A Sale affiliate vendor?

Thank you ,
Jason

[FrankHaywood]

Hi Jason,

We're focussing on software updates and system templates at the moment, plus we'll be adding some WordPress themes for the "mother" sites. When we've cleared those, we'll re-focus on adding new affiliate networks. Maybe 2-3 weeks we'll start work on new networks.

There's a thread on the Vendiva forum for suggestions for affiliate networks etc:-

Suggestions

And you can see which ones we've been asked for and are in the list.

On the system templates and WordPress themes front, once we've released the first few new ones in a clump, I hope to be able to release a new one every week or two, more if possible to give everyone the chance to make their sites look a little different without too much work.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

[jmorris18]

Frank ,
I see that you have added multiple US vendors such as Link Share , Commission Junction Amazon US , etc I also see that you will soon be adding Share A Sale.

If I use Link Share for example - will I have access to every merchant that Link Share supports? Or are there certain merchants within LS that will agree to work with me and your system?

Do these merchants need to provide product datafeeds - or can I work with a merchant that does not provide a data feed?

How do I create the image for the comparison using the store logo / name? Do you provide these with the builder?

How can I use this service within web page that I currently have online. For example - I want to add this functionality to my sales page on my website that is already built. Can you please explain to me how I can do this?

Thank you again ,

Jason

Hi Jason,

All you need to do within the affiliate networks such as LinkShare is join the participating merchants schemes which doesn't take very long. We supply some instructions in the members area about how to apply to merchants as we've found that can be the most confusing thing for people.

As we use the affiliate networks APIs rather than a datafeed, you also need to get a secret key or a web token or whatever the particular network calls it. Once it's all set up we query the API using your details to retrieve your affiliate link to the merchant/product.

It's the simplest / fastest method of getting up to date product prices and means we don't have to fetch the entire database of every affiliate network every day. It also means we can update your prices several times a day instead of once.

As part of most feeds from affiliate networks, a store logo is returned in a fairly standard 100x30 format which is what we use. The only exception to this is Commission Junction who just don't seem to be interested in doing that. We're not the first people to ask for it, but they won't do it.

The workaround for this is to either not worry about it (which is what I tend to do), and let the Price Comparison Service display text for the company name, or you can create your own logo and use that. All you do is flip the comparison for that merchant into manual mode, paste in the URL of the logo you've created, and flip it back to automatic. It will keep the URL you added manually.

Another good alternative is to find the same merchant on a different affiliate network. We've found that lots of merchants use multiple networks which makes sense if you think about it as they get the benefit of affiliates from all the different networks they join.

(I think it's worth saying that Affiliate Window here in the UK is a stunning service, and it's only a matter of time before they soak up all the merchants available. Their API works perfectly and pulls back all the info you need, and their web user panel is the easiest to use when looking for merchants to apply to. They also seem to pretty much already have most of the big UK merchants on board.

Watch out Commission Junction, watch out Trade Doubler etc. When Affiliate Window cross the water, my advice is to join their network as soon as possible.)

To add the price comparisons to existing sites, all you do is download a small php file in the format retrievecomparison-123456.php where 123456 is the number of the comparison you generated. You then FTP this to somewhere on your site (we strongly recommend to a directory callled /out/) and run it in your web browser.

It will generate a html snippet in the same directory which you can then php include on your web pages. Ah good point here - you need to be running on a server which has php support. I think that's most servers nowadays.

The include would look like this:-

<?php include "out/comparison-123456.html"?>

Finally, to have it updated automatically, you can either set up a cron job to call retrievecomparison-123456.php every so often, or you can paste the URL to that file into the Price Comparison service panel and we'll call it for you every few hours. The latter is much simpler to do.

It sounds a bit fiddly but it's actually very easy, and certainly nowhere near as difficult as creating your web pages in the first place. I would estimate it would take about 10 minutes in all to create the Price Comparison, add it to your existing site and then forget about it.

If you're using the Site Builder, it's a lot easier.

You just select which Price Comparison you want to use and the Site Builder automatically incorporates it into your web page using a placeholder called %PRICE-COMPARISON%, and that's all you have to do. The refresh is done automatically for you, there's none of that setting up to do as detailed above.

By default the place holder is on the index page of your site, but you can place it on any other pages you want too.

Cheers,

Frank Haywood.

hi Frank,
i am interested in this but not too sure if i fully understand what this does.
so basically we will build a niche site targeting some product keywords and then use the site builder to create a "IPK" style website. then we will need to promote it and drive traffic to it using our own methods right?
also, besides the amazon merchant, we will still need to apply to all those merchants (use for the comparison purposes) to be an affiliate?
and finally, we will also get commision if the customer happens to end up buying from the other merchants being compared to instead of amazon right?

Hi iMerickz,

It's actually a lot easier to promote your sites than you think. If you choose your niche / product carefully you'll find there are lots of them out there that have little or no competition and lots of search, and you'll also find domains available using the same keywords. Because of the small amount of competition, you'll also find that even with a couple of links to your site to get it indexed you'll end up doing well in the SEs for your keywords.

Applying to merchants is easy once signed up to an affiliate network. It typically takes around 30-60 minutes to go through every single merchant in a network such as LinkShare or Commission Junction and apply to all the ones that are relevant to the niches you want to promote.

Lots of them auto-approve, and those that don't usually approve within 24-48 hours. I've had about 1% of my aplications not get approved, and that's either fixable by writing to the merchant, or just shrugging your shoulders and saying to yourself "well *you* won't get any traffic from me, but your competitors will".

If your visitor clicks on any of your links other than Amazon and buys, yes you'll get the commission from those affiliate networks. In reality, I've found that most times Amazon is offering the lowest price, and your visitor seeing the range of prices is enough to persuade them to click and buy from Amazon. Some people I've found will click multiple links to check that the prices are what my sites say they are, but they usually end up using Amazon and so far 95% of my commissions come from there.

The most important thing to get those conversions though is the price comparisons - there's no doubt about that in my mind. Just look how big the price comparison industry is becoming with all the ads on TV for different insurance comparison sites etc.

One insurance firm here in the UK is now advertising on TV that even if they can't offer the best deal themselves, they'll tell you their competitors prices and find you the best deal that way. Of course they're also making their money on commissions from their competitors, so they can't lose either way...

In the price comparison service user panel, you enter your keywords and you're almost instantly returned the prices for the merchants you've been aproved for within each network. Then it's just a click to add them to your comparison.

I hope that helps.

All the best,

Frank Haywood

Frank, I've just recently bought IPK, so am very interested in your software. I like the fact that yours will allow me to use my own hosting service, which I definitely prefer. I've watched your video and looked at your sample site. I've noticed that your sample site seems to have different main pages than what the IPK manual specifies. Is there a reason for that? Or does your software allow you to add these other pages if you want them?
