Sounds good to me Angela.

I'm in.

Cheers

Brett.

[Brett Kruger]

Such a quick read but don't let that fool you.

This technique looks extremely powerful.

I'll be implementing this one ASAP.

Thanks for sharing.

Kind Regards

Brett.

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you very much for your kind words, Brett. I know it's really simple, but my biggest goal is to help people actually succeed online. It doesn't have to be hard. It's simple, actually.

[deltamatrix]

Thanks Angela.

Nice and simple and even noobies can do this.

[steveniam]

That's a interesting insight on using articles to get clickthroughs.

However the clickthroughs rates used are rather optimistic.

Actually, those rates are taken straight from data released by AOL:

Click Through Rates

Sorry. I am referring to the conversion rate of 1 out of 10

Ahhh...I see. Well, the whole thing was an example, designed to get people to think about the possibilities which are very real.

[rmholla]

Excellent report.

[alleycatnews]

I downloaded the ebook. Its good information. However 2 things...

1. Your #'s are off. You say 100% of the people will go to your site which isn't the case. And of course the buyers but whatever even if its 1/100 of that for 1 article its worth it.

2. Can you show some examples of you actually doing that. So an example of the article that you did and got to the top of google (or even top 5 of google just with your stragety)

Thanks

Nowhere in the report did I say that 100% of the people were going to go to my site. And yes, I have done this. My article for the keyword Backlinks has been number 2 in Google out of more than 10 MILLION competing sites for about five months now.

Yes, I do this as a service, too. If you want more information about it, send me a PM.

Nice report, Angela. It doesn't get any simpler - or cheaper to do - than this. I also want to comment re the numbers. Even at a very normal 1% click-through rate, you are looking at some serious numbers. And don't forget - this is for 1 article. Think about scaling that to a very doable 1 article a day. It wouldn't be hard to do the keyword research, write the article, and then build the backlinks in a day. This plan plus Angela's backlinks are the missing links to making the old Bum Marketing method really work.

Thank you for your kind words, Linda. You're right; this sort of thing could easily be done in a day. The reason why I am offering this free report is again so that newbies and others can be successful. And you're right; it's the "missing link" for making Bum Marketing work really well for folks, without them having to write hundreds of articles a week or whatever.

No; I wish it did. What you COULD do is have a tracker on your site and see how many people come from the article. It wouldn't tell you how many exact views you got, but it would give you really good information.

Another thing you can look at with this directory is how many "votes" your article gets AND how many times it's been requested. My Backlinks article has been requested by others 11,544 times. So you can kind of tell from that how many people have actually noticed your article.

If you go to Google and you type in the word "Goldfish" it returns

Results 1 - 10 of about 11,600,000 for goldfish

This does not mean there are 11.6 million competitors for the term goldfish.

Seriously how many people are creating websites and optimizing for the word Goldfish trying to make a buck?

This just means there are that many approximate occurrences of the term. Don't confuse this with competition.

Yes, I fully understand that, and you are right. However, when people are trying to get to Page One of Google for a term, I always recommend that they see where they are in the "broad search", without quotes. I could be number 3 in Google for the keyword Goldfish with quotes, but without quotes I might be number 25. Most searchers won't find me if I am number 25, because they won't be using quotes in their search. So being number 3 WITH quotes doesn't get me anywhere.

But you are 100% correct about the real competition. For the actual, real number of sites competing for your exact keyword, you don't want to use the broad search.

[DukeNasty]

Thanks for the free report, but I want to make sure I understand your assumptions. Using your example and assuming 1st position, wouldn't that mean we would get 3439 clicks (8130 x 42.3%) and assuming 1/10 buy, that would mean 343.9 people buy multiplied by $43.10 a pop which generates revenue of $14826.4/mo or $177,900/yr? Still a big number, but I just want to make sure I understand the math. Thanks. Looks very interesting though!

[Angela V. Edwards]

Hi Duke,

Since it was an example, I didn't take the 42% and use that for the numbers. I simply used 10% of the whole. As we all know, this sort of thing has a LOT of room for fluctuation and the "real" numbers of what it might actually be are not as important as showing people the possibilities. 10% of people becoming buyers might be a little high when you're talking about shoes or software or something. But 10% buyers out of people who are desperately searching for a solution to a life-altering painful problem is not really "out there", I don't think.

[Angela V. Edwards]

Yeah, that too.

Just for the record, I have a piece of software (Niche Research Commando) that will give you the important data for the Top Ten on Google's first page (see sig file)

Those are your real competitors and my software will show you in seconds just how tough they're going to be to beat.

Sorry for highjacking the thread.

John

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you, John,

You did NOT hijack the thread; this is necessary information. The article that I got to Page One of Google overnight faces some really tough competition from the sites in the top 5, even though the total number of competing sites is not really that high. To judge the competition, having this information would be tremendously handy for figuring out how long it is going to take to get to number one and how much work that might require.

[InternetMarketingIQ]

First I'd like to say that BACKLINKS are critical to ranking. And I am not here to disparage Angela's Back linking or Methods.

I have been a full time affiliate marketer for about 10 years now, created my first site on the Internet in 1995. I went to college and they gave me a nice piece of paper to hang on my wall.

So I'd like to help people who are not good at math (Turns out I am) to understand that NO you can not make $400,000 a year by writing a single article and promoting a single Clickbank product with 30 back links. It is NOT easy to get to #1 and even harder to sustain it. Not to mention the #1 result I get may not be the same result you get based on the time of day, data center, and your IP used for Geotargeting.

I might also say that it is very common for people to make unsubstantiated claims based on what I call "Make Believe Math". Don't get caught up in the number hype and imaginary replication.

Here are the FACTS... using the numbers provided and the following real world assumptions.

* 271 Searches a day (For the term given in the Download - go ahead and request your copy for the term given)
* $43.10 Payout for the product mentioned (which does have high gravity and a low return rate for those of you who choose to promote it... it does in fact meet all the criteria I set forth in evaluation clickbank products for sale).

So based on the information provided in the Download we get these numbers:

Google Postion 1. 271 x 42.3% = 115 Visitors per day
Google Position 2. 271 x 11.92% = 32 Visitors per day
Google Position 3. 271 x 8.44% = 23 Visitors per day
Google Position 4. 271 x 6.03% = 16 Visitors per day
Google Positon 5. 271 x 4.86% = 13 Visitors per day
Google Position 6. 271 x 3.99% = 11 Visitors per day

Okay so far so Good. We now know how many visitors a day we can expect from Google if we place in the Top 6 Results for this Search Term. But those are just visitors to our page, and they don't buy the product on our page.. they have to follow our link to the Offer then click on that offer link and make the buy... so on we go...

Just for my own analysis I looked at the PR of the top 5 Sites Google returned for me when I did my search and the results were in order... 5, 0, 3, 4, 5

Interesting that a PR 0 site was the 2nd result when I searched. I did not click on or look at any of the sites just the PR Ranking using the SEO Firefox Plug in.

So we take our Traffic and the following two considerations: 1. Clicks from our Page 2. Click on actual offer page that converts to a commission sale.

How many Clicks will we get per person who searches for our site then visits our page. We have to get them over to the offer page... Can we assume 100%? Hardly. I do not have the analysis... but just because a person visits our page doesn't mean they click on anything. What's a typical "Bounce Rate" for a single sales page? 50%, 80% 95%? Load up your favorite analytics program and find out.

What is your Adsense Click through? Would you say 10% would be a good Adsense Click Through Rate? Okay then lets assume a 10% Clickthrough from the visitors on our page to the actual offer. May be high may be a little low for a really well written page. But lets use 10%. Plus it is easy to do the math.

So our numbers now look like this:

Position 1. 115 x .10 = 11.5 visitors actually clicking though from our page to the clickbank offer. They are now firmly planted on the Click Book offer page.

So we get.

Position 1. 11.5
Position 2. 3.2
POsition 3. 2.3
Position 4. 1.6
Position 5. 1.3
Position 6 1.1

That's how many people we can realistically expect to go from the Search on Google, Find our Article Listing, Read our article, find out link to the Hop and visit the Offer.

Now we have to get these people to BUY! Hopefully our Article did a Good job of preselling and we get a lot of sales.

But how many sales can we expect per hop? Lets get crazy and say out presell was AWESOME and we have a 1:10 ratio... meaning 10% of the visitors on the Offer page will buy. They are in dire pain right?

Position 1 now yields 1 sale per day on average. And that's good. That is very good. Who would complain about making $40 a day from a single article? I sure wouldn't.

But even that is not realistic. So NO you won't make $400,000 a year from one article. But it's a good way to market a product. And if you do the research, write good articles, do the backlinks, etc. You can make money. But it's work like everything else.

The real pros who use Clickbank, write articles, understand economic reality understand that there is a lot of HYPE and it is NOT easy to make a ton of money. Everyone can try, but everyone won't be successful.

How many people do you know personally in your every day life that are Affiliate Marketers and are making a lot of money?

So again this is not to criticize the real product being offered... which is a BACKLINK Service, but it is to interject some reality in to the scenario.

You MUST approach Internet Marketing as a business. You must do the groundwork or outsource it. You need an idea/product/service, you need good articles, sales pages, websites, you need multiple revenue streams (You don't put all your eggs in one basket), in short you need a plan.

Article Marketing absolutely works... but everyone can not be #1, and you don't have to be... but it sure helps.

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you for that very informative post, Internetmarketingiq. I really appreciate you taking the time to give us so much great information.

A couple of things that people should understand (and I don't want to give away the WSO here): 1.) We're talking about methods and tools that CAN get us to the number one spot in Google easily. This guide is not all about the different methods of article marketing. Far from it. The guide shows you how to get to the very top of Google quickly and easily. I am number two in Google out of 10.9 MILLION results and number 3 out of 76 MILLION (sustained for at least five months), so with 500,000 or fewer sites, I know that people can get the number one spot.

2.) We are talking about alleviating life-altering pain in people's lives. The type of painful situations that don't allow people to live a normal life. "Average" click-through-buy rates do not even come close to the rates that we're talking about with these types of situations. Sure, only 1-2% of people might buy the new fangled software or the newest World of Warcraft secrets. But when it comes to pain that people are desperate to get rid of...the click through rates are completely different...especially when you have "pre-sold" them with an article.

[Mark-Dickenson]

Sometimes the best things in life(and WSO's) come from the Pacific Northwest

Although I usually don't monkey with clickbank I am going to give this method a whirl

Thanks for the WSO

-Mark

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you for your kind words, Mark. And yep...good things DO come from the Pacific Northwest.

[stevenh512]

Angela, I signed up the other day and just now found the time to read the report.. once again you deliver something that could be a "virtual goldmine" in the right hands.

Without giving away the "goldmine" I'll just say that this method could be described as "bum marketing on steroids" lol.. combined with your backlink packets and a good working knowledge of article marketing I don't see how anyone who's willing to put in a little work could lose with this method.

Just wanted to add one thing. Aside from GoArticles, another article directory that's given me good Google rankings (with little or no SEO work on my part) is articlecity.com and they also allow affiliate links. I have an article I posted there a couple years ago that still to this day ranks #1 in Google for my keywords (just wish I could edit that article to point my bio box link to my new site instead of an old blog I haven't maintained in years lol).

[Angela V. Edwards]

Hi Steven,

Thank you very much for your post. I like that description: Bum Marketing on steroids. It's perfect.

That's good to know about articlecity.com. I think I've used them a time or two before. If your article is still number one for your keywords, then it's most likely a very strong article directory for that purpose. Excellent information.

You also bring up another point that I didn't touch on in the report but that people might want to think about. You might want to get an inexpensive domain (if it's in your budget) and do a redirect from your site for the affiliate link. That way if something needs to be edited in the future, you don't risk losing your article's position by editing the actual article (don't EVER edit an article once it's got a good SE placement); you can take care of that right on your website. If anyone needs more information about how to create a redirect for an affiliate link, send me a PM and I'll get that information to you.

[stevenh512]

Well thankfully the affiliate links in that article were cloaked and redirected and I still manage to get the occasional sale for a "mid to high" ticket IM product (DLGuard) thanks to that article.. lol.. but the link in the bio box was a direct link to an old blog. Maybe I should use some of the backlinks in your packets to try to "revive" that old blog, nothing wrong with having more than one way to funnel traffic into my own sites and my affiliate links.

[Angela V. Edwards]

True; that old blog of yours might be able to be revived and the traffic funneled to your current projects.

[AnneE]

Thanks Angela. I downloaded this since I saw 'quick read' and it has definitely given me an idea for a particular product where I'm already an affiliate and a family member does suffer from the pain. It's a high-cost item, so much so that family has not purchased... but on the other hand that means higher-commission. I will give it a try.

I promised myself first though that I would complete a makeover on my one Squidoo lens that already IS getting a steady stream of traffic and I just bought a reseller license for a perfect match product. Must not switch horses mid-stream... must not switch horses mid-stream.

[Angela V. Edwards]

LOL! Yes, finish up your current project. Remember, people are always going to pay good money for pain they're desperate to alleviate.

Since you have a family member who suffers from the pain, you can most likely write a really great article about it, giving it more of a "personal" touch, which could reach people even better.

[dlinden]

Angela

Couldn't this method be used for CPA offers that may convert better since the customer doesn't have to always purchase something.What do you think would happen if the link in the bio box was to a cpa free trial offer instead of a straight sale offer?

I think that would work fine. I've even considered doing some of that, myself.

However, just keep in mind you'll get the best conversions if you focus on something that causes pain and alters peoples' lives. Something that they'd be willing to hand over pretty much ANY amount of money to solve. These are the types of products that convert beyond the average 1-2% that most people talk about when they are selling online. Those products convert because they alleviate peoples' pain.
