    I have not bought it but I can tell you the gist of it by being on his list. It is using some special web 2.0 sites to get to the front of google and then advertising amazon items as an affiliate hopefully having each "site" make about $50 a month in amazon sales

      Stupidly Simple SEO is simply terrific!

      Phil is certainly one of the good guys - he GENUINELY wants you to succeed and his SSSEO makes that desire a reality....

      I've been in SEO in the corporate world for years and some of the stuff he revealed blew me away.

      A couple of examples of REAL RESULTS....

      In a market that I have ZERO experience in, no list, no websites, I hit #1 in Google in about 9 minutes if you include building the actual web page
      Competition - 11 million
      First sale/commissions - a $1,500 TV - within 12 hours

      I also got my wife to try it out in the exercise equipment niche - she is not at all IM savvy and can hardly use Word, let alone build a website.

      Her results...

      10 minutes to build a web page (first one she has ever made)
      Hit page 1 on Google in 7 minutes
      First sale/Commissions (paid to my Amazon account cos she doesn't have one ) - $3500 home gym within 48 hours!

      So, do I like SSSEO?

      Yeah, too right I do! And I have since met Phil and he is one of the nicest, most open and helpful IM guys you could hope to meet! Definate thumbs up!

      Hi Warriors

      Just wondering if anyone got any results with SS SEO as now SS SEO 2 is being promoted and it would be helpful to see if the first one was up to scratch.

      Thanks

        It seems there's a couple free videos that show his basic tack for getting onto Google pg 1 fast, then a couple payed upgrades to either Foundation level ($37) and VIP level ($97.)

        The 1st free video tells you very little, except to use a platform called Snipsly (Web 2.0 site? Hub? Blogging platform? Doesn't say...) to post your affiliate sites, and to make sure you put your long-tail product keyword, not only in the post title, but at the top of the content box as an H1 heading. That appears to be his only "trick" to getting on pg 1 in mere minutes.

        There's no advice about making sure your long-tail niche & keyword is already getting lots of searches, except advising you to use Amazon bestsellers to find hot products, and to stick with watches & home furnishings, and avoid cell phones. Not a whole lot of clarity here.

        He shows you a finished Snipsly 1-pager he creates for an Amazon-sold canoe, complete with photos, content, Adsense and other affiliate offers on the right sidebar, but does not show you any details of how to create this page layout.

        All in all, more questions than answers...I guess you have to buy one of the upsells to get clear, step-by-step instructions. In that first video, he "guarantees" if you do those simple steps, you'll be on Google pg 1 in under an hour, but I've been using long-tail products with H1 headers for years, and it guarantees nothing. So perhaps the ranking juju is in the use of this Snipsly platform, I don't know.

          Phil just wrote to me confirming that, yes, the full step by step instructions are in the payed upsells (at $37 & $97)

          Feels like the old IM bait-and-switch sales page. On Phil's sales page, he boldly states:

          "I'm not selling anything here...Believe me this is all about giving back"...and
          "It'll cost you nothing! Seriously I don't want your money"

          ...then gives you a video showing just a couple of the steps, but for the complete instructions, you'll have to buy this course for $$

          I may still give it a try, but seriously Phil, aren't you tired of this free/not-free crap?
          We sure are.

          Thanks for the overview.

          Looks like something that could be interesting.

          Hope fully we will get some more perspectives.

      Guys, let's get a wee bit of perspective here.

      Phil has given you one of the sites he uses to get good rankings. It's just another "build a page on a free site" kind of places. There are a bunch of other places in the course that he points you to.

      It's not hard to work out how to build a page on one of these things. Give it a try, you'll be amazed. As for signing up for Amazon, getting an affiliate link and putting it in the article......you're on WF - read it up!

      The trouble with this stuff is that it really is "simple" compared to a lot of high-powered atomic blogging to the moon courses and so it looks like there's a lot missing. Sure he didn't cover keyword research and yes he was using a few reeeeeally longtail keywords but that doesn't detract from the almost immediate indexing by Google.

      The point with the Amazon stuff is to get a product with some good reviews (so you know it's being bought and liked) and then just do it. As Dave said in an earlier post, it won't take long. Sell a few items using the snipsly approach and then buy the rest of the course.

      I too have met Phil and can tell you that he is what he says he is. He loves this stuff (and is using it himself to make money) and he'll tell you that himself - even when drunk and more colourful

        Still not seeing anything here that amounts to an in-depth review of this product. The main questions are:

        1. Is this method just for getting sub-domained "feeder" sites (Hubpages. Squidoo, Snipsly) to pg 1, not your actual money site?
        2. If so, the promise of lots of targeted traffic to your money site would depend on the anchors & backlinks coming from these feeder sites, so has anyone used SSSeo enough to clarify whether the type of sites SSSeo gets to pg. 1 actually stick and drive paying traffic to your money site?

        Otherwise, who cares that your on pg 1? It's a novelty for a few days..."Whoopee! My little hub site is on pg. 1!"...but if it doesn't make you money, it doesn't matter.

        Also, can anyone qualify whether the $97 VIP version is really worth the extra $60 over the "Foundation" version?

          Hi
          Id like to hear some feedback on the above questions too before I commit. Does the pg.1 rank stick or dissapear after a few short days? And can you actually make any money without getting any of the upsells?
          Thanks

          Next time don't jump the gun too soon and don't laugh too early.

          Phil is among those gurus that are still allowed to send me their emails apart from a few others and that is because I feel that he is genuine.

          Fyi I made my first amazon sale using the method that he taught for FREE.

          He showed you how to use xomba.com and snipsly.com to get some quick sales and that to me is some valuable infos that very few IMer are willing to share or even knew about at the first place.

      Phil wrote to me a few days ago saying he pulled the main Strategy video because it gave away too much free information :rolleyes:. He followed by saying this:

      "The method I showed in that video was one fifth of the google busting strategies and on top if that i share proven YouTube and facebook strategies no one else is sharing...I give away much more than anyone else in this industry"

      This may all be true, and Phil might be a great, generous guy, but he's definitely doing a poor job of representing this product:

      - First, the non-working link to the Strategy video in which he gave away too much free information is still up on the membership site, in big bold letters. If he doesn't want people to be frustrated with not being able to access this, why hasn't he taken it down?

      - Second, people have been asking important questions about SSSeo on this thread since the end of July...why has Phil not made an appearance or two here, himself, to respond to some of these?

      - Since it's now clear you'll have to buy at least the $37 package, if not the $97 VIP package, to really learn this technique, he has back-pedaled from his sales page's original promise of "I'm not selling anything here...this won't cost you anything." The course may well be worth $37 or even $97, but the fact that he's offering a way to get your site onto Google pg.1 in under 20 minutes should be so amazing to marketers, it's suspicious that there's been so little activity on this thread. With promise like that, this thread should be bulging with pages, instead of 20 or so posts. That, plus his lack of presence here leaves me too skeptical to go for it.

        Seth my man, PLEASE allow me to clue you in on the Internet Marketing game.

        #1
        Whenever a NON Warrior Forum product is under review by warriors, and there is NOT a lot of comments about the product... on a mixed review thread.

        Someone just may be CASHING IN! Personally, more times than not, I am off to purchase the product.

        #2
        One NEVER has to "defend" truth. TRUTH is TRUTH, no matter which way ANYONE turns truth. As a product creator, I WOULD NOT spend my time on a forum "defending" MY PRODUCT.

        I'll walk my little French Bulldog first, before I spend time doing that.

        If a marketer successfully JV with 10-15 other super affiliate with lists size in the millions... who cares about a small people group who shoot the product down.

        Those people ARE NOT who you want to have your product any way. Phil's absence from this thread is in NO WAY an indication that his product is no good.

        Remember this most marketers are greedy, and WILL NOT give a positive review on a product that is helping pay their mortgage, 100K auto note... pay for their Rolex, Cavalli Suits, Vacations, and their wife's Peter Som shopping spree.

        Just a little to consider my man!

        To the top !

    I can pass along what I have heard from a few friends who went through this material. Note, I have not myself so take this as you will.

    But from what I understand it sounds like a rehash of Howie's conversation domination, basically using web 2.0 sites to index and rank quickly. One of the particular sites he found to work very well apparently caught on and this site no longer works like it did before.

    I don't know about any other elements that might be within this course, but it sounds like basic seo. The upsells as mentioned above also throw up a red flag to me. I wouldn't say this is a scam, but I also wouldn't say it is anything new from the little I have been told about it.

    If it has a money back guarantee, you should be fine if you decide to give it a go and then discover it's not what you expected.

    I have tried very hard with this product.

    I have watched the videos many times and have done exactly as instructed, but despite writing many articles I have yet to see anything get anywhere on Google.

    It all looks a bit simplistic to expect to make page one and stay there.
