I had considered the Video Essence plugin/theme, but it sounds like one to pass on. Now comes along P1 Video Magnet, which is similar but seems to have a bit more to it. Peter Garety is the seller.

Has anyone purchased P1 Video Magnet - if so, any thoughts, and what are the OTOs and cost for each? The price of the main product just went up $5 to $44.95, which is still fairly reasonable on its own (assuming things work as they should, of course). The theme that comes with it looks good, better than the one used with Video Essence, but again it needs to work properly when implemented.

Thanks.

    Hey Blazon,

    I bought it but have not checked it out yet...I also passed on the Precious offering.

    OTO1 --> P1 Traffic Spider (Backlink WP Tool) 49.95 for now.

    OTO2 --> P1 Alliance Training (I think it was priced at $99 when I purchased.)

    I have a couple products by PG already and I figure he will be around to provide support and updates if and when needed.

    Cheers

    I bought both Video Essence and P1 Video Magnet. Peter's offering is definitely better in my opinion. Video Essence was difficult to monetize with banner ads outside the video or via adsense. The included theme was very basic. The only thing video essence had going for it was the in-video ad capability (though the YouTube ads still showed up which sometimes caused overlapping ads).
    P1 is much more in-depth, provides more customization options and in my opinion will be much easier to monetize.
    I hope that helps in your decision.

    I saw the sales page... was wondering about it. I've had content curation software before. Well, I still do but I really don't use it.

    Here's a question: It gets content from the web but not duplicate content? How is that possible? I know there's a spinning option. Well, that's another thing that raises questions for me - since I haven't really seen content spinners work all that well.

    I'd be curious to hear more from someone who has been using it for a bit and has seen some results - good or bad.

    It can incorporate The Best Spinner. That requires a license for The Best Spinner. It also includes an option to check copyscape for a duplicate content score, and hold the auto-publish if it doesn't meet the score criteria you set. So in other words, you can have it curate content from Ezine Articles, spin it using The Best Spinner, then check if it passes the duplicate content test and then it will publish the post. Or...you can just have it curate the videos and put it into your drafts then you can add your own unique content. That would of course create the best content, but requires a lot more work. So it depends on the purpose of your site.

    Do these kinds of curated video + curated content sites really help pull in traffic from google? Without a lot of backlinking? Or will this be like Traffic Equalizer of old...worked great for a while and then went down the tube?

    I guess that's the crux of the issue....

    Thanks!

      You can no longer ignore the fact that Google has started to target poor quality content and spun content sits in that category. Even high level spinning (the most readable output) will struggle to get past Google's duplicate content filters nowadays. Any form of spinning is going to give your content a short shelf life on Google. Unique content is the best solution without a lot of backlinking required. And if you want natural backlinks, unique (well written) content is the only solution.
      You can get good quality content written for you really cheaply at places like iWriter. You just need to test out some writers to find good ones.

      Now, unique content coupled with curated video... that will get you some longevity from your efforts.

      What you need to establish is which bits of P1 Video Magnet could you employ to save time without compromising quality.

    Good point John. For me my focus is drawing visitors in from related Facebook pages (ala Buzzfeed and UpWorthy). I'm generally not patient enough for SEO.

    I'm on the fence. I know of Peter and that's a good thing. I've used some of his "stuff" before.

    But what about the additional plugin you have to install?

    They say: We deliver all our products via the (completely free) DashNex platform.

    Why is this additional plugin required? Why can't I just install the plugin I've purchased as usual?

    I'm leary that this could be allowing Peter's folks access to my site or something else. How do I know why it's needed?

    Thanks

      John,

      It is part of his delivery/licensing/security system. I don't know how secure the plugin is itself, but I doubt Peter and his team are using it to snoop on sites.

      Cheers

    Hello,

    I have had Ion Cube installed on my dedicated and shared servers and have never had to pay anything extra, it was provided by the webhosts. Can you tell me where you learned P1 Video Magnet won't run on a shared server? Why won't it run? I find it a bit strange and a little hard to believe Peter is selling a product that won't run on a typical shared server.

    Cheers

      Yes I agree with ForumGuru. Ion Cube is free and P1 Video Magnet can be utilised on shared servers. Peter has set up an excellent Google+ community where members post and help each other. Peter is very active in this community and listens and eventually adds any suggestions to his software. Today he updated and there will be another update next Friday. As with any new software, there is a learning curve involved and of course there will be some hiccups along the way. Take the time and effort to learn how to use P1 Video Magnet properly and you will make some money. I have no regrets purchasing and happy with Peter and his staff's support.

        You consider that the $499.00 price tag is worth the product?

          Hello,

          I would not pay that much...I paid $39.99 for a 100 site license.

      Has p1 video magnet closed?

      A few days back I accessed the page, but now my browsers (IE and G Chrome) return a "page not available" message.

        Yes, it's closed. SOP for many Peter Garety products --> decent launch price, then high price, then closed quickly.

    Review-

    I know this product closed a while ago but wanted to leave a review. I built out a site. So far, 400 pages are indexed in Google.

    NO TRAFFIC.

    The site isn't ranking for anything. Complete waste of time.

      Just curious... are those pages auto generated content or a combination of auto generated plus original content or are they 100% original content?

      400 pages seems like a lot of work.

      Heck I've got sites that are 10 plus years old with less pages but work day in and day out. What's the deal?

        The pages are youtube videos. You can also add spun articles from article directories.

        I've been autoblogging for years and I can tell you that spun articles won't get any traffic anymore. (I also have white hat sites).

        The youtube videos are pulled into your site using Youtube's API. Seller seems to think that will make them actually rank (??)

        Bought this just to see if scraped Youtube videos would rank for something. Doesn't look like it.

        And yes, I also have white hat sites that make money everyday for years like you do. So I know what you mean.
