Hey guys,

I was wanting your opinions on George browns Google Sniper 2.0. Does it still work? Have you made income with it? What rank is one of your websites holding Google? Has the panda affected your site at all? Just some of my opinions that I wanted to ask.

    It is a very good course. I have several sites that make me money from the course, granted it is not a fortune but it does help to pay the bills. Do not use automated softwares to submit 100's or 1,00's of worthless links. Use social signals, press releases, guest posting and relevant directory submissions to build your links.

    Follow the course exactly as it has been updated and you will make money but the question is how much?

    This should help you http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...w-release.html

    I don't think it is really effective any more as I bought the first Google Sniper, and made no money at all from it. I didn't buy the second as when I bought the first I was advised we got lifetime free updates.

    Google Sniper in one sentence: find keywords with high search volumes and almost no (or very weak) competition.

    I think Google Sniper was created in the "No SH*T University", because up until then i've only searched for keywords that have almost no traffic and competitors who have more backlinks on one page then i have on all of my websites combined.

    I'm not bashing anyone here, but you shouldn't waste your time on this product. If you're into SEO, then learn it properly. That is at least what i'm doing right now.

      As mentioned, the strategy was to build single-keyword-focused sites, and focusing all efforts on ranking them for the chosen keyword.

      This is no longer a viable strategy.

          Hi condra,

          The 'sniper' model of building single-keyword-focused sites, and focusing all efforts on ranking them for the chosen keyword, is essentially an encapsulation of 'rank manipulation' tactics - things that were done primarily to boost ranking (single-keyword-optimization of EMD, keyword in title, page, body, H1 tag, etc., combined with aggressive artificial link-building using exact-match anchor text, etc.) with the lowest cost in time & effort (spinning, scraped content, etc.).

          Not surprisingly, these are now the things that Google looks for to indicate low quality and rank manipulation. Both Panda and Penguin specifically target these characteristics.

          In most cases, this type of site will no longer rank, and in the cases that they do, it's a waiting game until they are invariably penalized or de-indexed.

          'Sniper' is an example of a well-devised and once-effective strategy that no longer works, and can have real and severe consequences - like losing your Adsense account.

          I'll add that it's also a good example of a misleading and overstated pitch.

          Michael

          PS - for what it's worth, we took that model and modified it to work in this post-Panda, post-Penguin world. We named it "Google Site Sniper Blueprint". If you're a member of our private forum, it's now in the 'Blueprints' section as a free download.

          In my opinion what Michael (bfas) has stated in this thread is absolute "Gold." I could not agree with him more.

          A sniper site is not a long-term strategy. If you are looking to make a few bucks, give it a go. But don't plan your sniper site having lasting value. The recent Google updates have proven that keyword domain sites (sniper sites) are in Google's crosshairs.

          Give Google what it wants -- original content that adds value to the market you are serving. Go deep into your market and build an audience. Become a leader.

          Focus on generating traffic from multiple sources so you are not reliant 100% on Google.

          And List Build!!!

          Stop thinking like an opportunity seeker and start thinking like an entrepreneur. Stop thinking about "making money" and start thinking about "building a business."

          Yes, this does take work and it does take time. But the asset you are building will have lasting value that will produce traffic and revenue over and over again.

              I bought the GS a few months ago and I found it to be quite useful, yes you can find most of that information for free but I rather spend a few bucks to get decent information quickly as opposed to spending hundreds of hours going through forums.

          Because he Is a damn good marketer who pays good commission, and keeps updated with his affiliates via Email with various contests, and updates on banners, Email swipes, etc. He really gives his affiliates a lot of tips and tools on how to market It, thus bringing In more sales regardless of the product (good or bad).

          If there were more vendors like him on Clickbank, they too could running up to that #1 Spot.

          I purchased Google Sniper a while back when I was just getting started, It was okay. It certainly didn't help me get to where I am right now, but there were a couple tips and tricks In there.

    I think it is still a great introduction to affiliate marketing. There is still a lot of value there. Yes, you will need to do some traffic generation - and (post Panda and Penguin) broaden the focus (i.e. not just concentrate all your efforts on one keyword phrase), whether through social signals, YouTube - but you can still make money (as I continue to do so) employing the techniques outlined, and George Brown is always coming up with webinars and new tutorials to generate traffic and income.

      Hi James,

      It's not available in the War Room, only in our private forum, or with the purchase of our "Traffic $100k Blueprint" course.

      Since you mention it however, I may make it available in the War Room.

    You can get all of this type of information and more right here at the WF for much cheaper price the only difference is that it doesn't come with the massively inflated and exaggerated CB movie style presentation.

    i would have to disagree with what has been posted, and if your still looking at Google Sniper I recommend you purchase it. You WILL learn something, especially if you new to Internet Marketing, and it has been recently updated to work better with the newer SEO modules. There are also a few case study sites which in my opinion are great, as it shows you on video some of the mistakes most people make when creating Sniper Site, and how to fix them.

    Don't forget if you try and exit the sales page you can get a $1 trial.

      Yep. In fairness to George Brown, he is a successful marketer, and Google Sniper has lots of useful info.

      Also, for what it's worth, I recently set up a site based on an EMD, and the first thing it ranked for was the phrase of the EMD, so EMDs are still effective in Google as far as I'm concerned.

    The real question I would ask myself is: do I really want to invest the time, effort, and money to build a business (or even just an individual effort) based on a strategy that has a flawed foundation, even if that foundation has been patched to prop it up a little longer.

    I think the answer to that question is a good indicator of where each of us are in terms of how we approach IM. Personally, I'm not looking for the "hit & run" business model of continuously looking for short-term 'cash grabs'. This is how I earn my living, and I have no interest in jeopardizing what I've already built. I also want my time & effort to count towards something - at the least, towards continually strengthening & improving the foundation for all my efforts through learning and applying 'best practices'.

      I respect what your saying, but I also do full time IM (for the past 3 years) and as well as my main "money site" I have 3 sites built with the sniper method which still rank and generate anything from 800$ - $2000 per month, and I do the occasional 'hit-and-run' site for a quick cash injection averaging at over $1,500 per site in just less than two weeks.

      And that income is before I even get to my main business, which is 100% whitehat, and has sat at position 1 on Google (HIGHLY competitive niche) un-touched for the past 2 years and counting.

        I realize my post comes off as rather snooty, which was not my intent.

        I'd estimate that I've built probably close to 100 sites over the years that were directly intended to take advantage of some 'quick cash grab' strategy or other.

        While my attitudes about my business have changed over time - having dependents will do that among other things - it's much more of a pragmatic decision for me.

        Specifically, I'm of the opinion that going forward, this industry - IM'ers, infrastructure companies, etc. - along with the online populace, will become increasingly interconnected. What I do matters, as it becomes part of me "the entity" (me personally, my company, my products, my history, my statements, my posts, my comments, etc). Those parts, when combined, create my 'Authority' (good or bad, weak or strong, etc). In this context, I use "Authority" to refer to all of those metrics and characteristics such as my credibility, my reach and exposure, my public 'approval rating', that determine how well and how quickly I can rank sites, articles/posts, and the like, how easy or hard it will be to attract traffic, affiliates, JV's, etc., and how well or to what degree each effort enhances all the others, or hampers them.

        I believe that 'bad decision mistakes' today - such as losing my Adsense account, or even just having a site de-indexed because Google believed I was buying links - will have a lasting and significant impact on my business and my "Authority" going forward.

        That is perhaps the most significant reason that I wouldn't pursue or recommend something like this.

I was on the verge to install a whole new wordpress just for one sniper site as George Brown recommends with the keyword and repeat, but then again I came across Wordpress MU. As a result im thinking its still not a single domain name matching the keyword really...due to wordpress's "sub domain & sub directories" ...this makes me lost.....please help!

    I think the strategy works. However to make a big fortune you need to work hard. It is based on the principle of finding low competition keywords with high search volume to minimize your SEO effort. But the truth is that it is hard to find such keywords. For profitable keywords with reasonable search volume you will have to face at least moderate level of competition. So, be prepared to do the SEO part properly.

      The Google Sniper 2.0 system is not a scam or “make money” scheme. Since the inception of the original Google Sniper, “sniping” has become THE way to get ranked for highly competitively keywords in the search engines and is often used in major product launches as a way to dominate the competition.

          I'm afraid these days the word scam actually seems to mean 'not what I thought it was'

          As regards Google Sniper, it's very good basic training for keyword research, setting up sites and learning the basics of SEO. Not things people would sit down and absorb normally.

          If you tell people 'cold' to go and learn how to do keyword research, they'll do pretty much everything else but, the same goes for SEO ... but they will try every wordpress theme that exists to see how a site will look.

          Goerge Brown understands people very well and gets them to actually learn useful stuff by the backdoor. GS is only a few dollars, and people starting out should probably invest in it as what they learn will be worth more than the price of the package, even if they don't make thkind of returns you see in headlines.

      I have been using it for several years. Still works for me. My most recent site is a adsense site you can check out if you like. Here are three that have stayed on page one of google for couple of years now:
      daniellesaar.com #7, #3 & #3 for google, yahoo and bing (all page 1)
      sarahforgany.com #9, #14 and #13 for google, yahoo and bing (page 1 and then page 2,2)
      matgarcia.com #14, #1 and #1 for google, yahoo and bing (page 2, page 1 & page 1) (newest just a few months old).

      The above are just a couple of examples. But I can honestly say that I have always been on pg 1 of 2 of the 3 search engines using the Sniper outline.
      Just remember to keep it simple.

      Good luck

      No....it's not a scam at all if it works for one person and not another.

      It can mean the person who succeeds put in more effort and is more diligent than the person who 'failed' with the system.

      But there can be so many factors as to why one person has great success, and others don't
