			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I&#8217;ve been ambushed by a number of promotions all claiming to solve the Google Adwords puzzle, Google Ambush being just one of them.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s one thing different about Google Ambush. This isn&#8217;t just a PPC (Pay Per Click) tutorial, this is online software that will let you do all the keyword research, load your Adwords campaign and set up your Landing Pages all from one online dashboard.<a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ambush1.png"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ambush1-thumb.png" border="0" alt="ambush1" width="431" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what it looks like inside. As you can see it&#8217;s actually a logical process. Starting on the Left of your Google Ambush dashboard you first find a product to sell, (you can search the ClickBank Marketplace from here), research keywords for that product, create your Adwords Campaign and then set up a Landing Page to presell the product.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a really simple process and looks set to put you on the road to selling popular ClickBank products as fast as possible. You don&#8217;t need a website, you don&#8217;t need to know how to create webpages, in fact you can start selling online as an affiliate with no previous knowledge of Internet Marketing at all!</p>
<p>And this, for most people, must seem like a dream come true! It&#8217;s so simple that a monkey could do it if you taught it how to use a keyboard.</p>
<p>Within 15 mins I was able to set up this Landing Page, already automatically coded with my affiliate link.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ambush2.png"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ambush2-thumb.png" border="0" alt="ambush2" width="407" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>But therein lies the problem with Google Ambush. It&#8217;s TOO simple!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at what you end up with. The Landing Page that is automatically created is very basic and doesn&#8217;t show competitive products (which I would normally add to a review page).</p>
<p>In a similar vein the PPC campaigns are ubiquitous - there&#8217;s no training to show how to weed out unprofitable keywords, for example, though advice is given to use the lower bid keywords rather than bidding top dollar, which is sensible when you&#8217;re starting out with Adwords.</p>
<p>I would still recommend that you also invest in learning the ropes of how to handle a profitable PPC campaign through other tutorials, such as <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/PPCclassroom" target="_blank">PPC Classroom</a> (this is the tutorial that I&#8217;m using to brush up on, and improve, my own PPC campaigns).</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s the very emphasis within Google Ambush on making things simple for the user that is its undoing. However all is not lost. A little more work by the user on adding product images, expanding the Pre-sale Landing Page to include mention of competitive products, and learning how to use keyword campaigns efficiently, for a good ROI (Return On Investment) would make your Google Ambush results well worth your outlay.</p>
<p>At the moment you can try out Google Ambush for just $4.95. Once you&#8217;ve read the salespage just go to exit the page and you&#8217;ll see a pop-up which gives you this trial offer.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot on the heels of Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots comes CopyNProfit - a system that shows you how to plug into existing profitable PPC campaigns.</p>
<p>The premise is simple. The author has found ubiquitous products which have a wide appeal on the Internet. All you have to do is set up these campaigns in your own Adwords, or even Yahoo (see <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/YahooCash4Idiots" target="_blank">Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots</a>), PPC account and start raking in the dosh.</p>
<p>Along with the campaigns that CopyNProfit gives you is a complete breakdown of how affiliate marketing works, how you can back up your campaigns with article marketing, blog promotion and forum marketing, all neatly presented in a series of online video tuition.</p>
<p>So far, so good. There&#8217;s only one problem with CopyNProfit that I can see. With the 20 or so campaigns that are currently in the members area you are entering an already crowded and competitive market.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at an example.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m giving any secrets away if I tell you that &#8216;Get Your Girlfriend Back&#8217; is a hot niche - most marketers looking at niche markets know this. A Google search for this term shows up 39,200 pages for the exact phrase &#8220;get my girlfriend back&#8221;, which ain&#8217;t that many! Even better, which incidentally CopyNProfit doesn&#8217;t mention, is &#8220;getting your ex girlfriend back&#8221; which has 50 searches a day and only 20,800 Google&#8217;d pages.</p>
<p>However there are currently 35 PPC campaigns running for that phrase and variants of it. That makes it highly competitive in PPC terms. As a new Adwords user you&#8217;d have to bid pretty high to see your ad on the front page - around a $1 or more a click at my estimate.</p>
<p>And the trouble is that the conversion rate of click thru to sales is poor for the product that CopyNProfit recommends. So I wouldn&#8217;t rate this as highly profitable. In fact the suggested keywords that CopyNProfit recommend have minimal searches per day - for example &#8220;get back with your ex&#8221; only gets two or three!</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m not saying you can&#8217;t make money with this niche. A carefully orchestrated and maintained PPC campaign would turn a profit, especially if you choose one of the better converting products in this niche. But it&#8217;s not, in my view, going to be a big profit.</p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t think that pre-selected campaigns like this are the way to market niches. And, just remember, these niches will be getting more competitive the more people buy CopyNProfit!</p>
<p>Yes, there&#8217;s some low hanging fruit in CopyNProfit which is there for you to grab, but the emphasis of the site is that you don&#8217;t have to do the work fine-tuning your PPC - &#8220;so easy a baby could do it&#8221; - just plug the campaigns in and go.</p>
<p>And that doesn&#8217;t work. To my mind <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/YahooCash4Idiots" target="_blank">Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots</a> is a far better proposition. It does at least show you how to research a niche properly and set up an ad campaign that you KNOW is not too competitive and within your reach.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As I've found out the hard way, however, you can lose your shirt on a poorly managed Adwords campaign. I wouldn't let that stop anyone learning PPC, just avoid the most competitive niches until you've learnt how to create profitable campaigns.

Unless, and here it comes, you move out of the competitive Adwords market. So where do you go? To Yahoo PPC instead!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year I was fed up with Google PPC. I was finding it unbelievably difficult to turn a profit on any of my campaigns.</p>
<p>Part of the reason for this was lack of education, a factor I am in the process of remedying thanks to PPC Classroom 2.0. But the main reason that most marketers have difficulty making PPC work for them is the highly competitive nature of Adwords.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the world and its uncle know that PPC is the quickest way to drive traffic to your site(s). If you are an affiliate for a newly launched product, for example, you&#8217;ll want to beat the competition to the mark in order to take advantage of the initial flurry of interest.</p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve found out the hard way, however, you can lose your shirt on a poorly managed Adwords campaign. I wouldn&#8217;t let that stop anyone learning PPC, just avoid the most competitive niches until you&#8217;ve learnt how to create profitable campaigns.</p>
<p>Unless, and here it comes, you move out of the competitive Adwords market. So where do you go? To Yahoo PPC instead!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right. Yahoo is <em>the</em> underdeveloped PPC market. It&#8217;s so much easier to find profitable niche products to promote using PPC once you start competing in the Yahoo market.</p>
<p>So that makes Yahoo PPC a much more encouraging platform on which to learn and hone your PPC skills. But you&#8217;ll still need tuition, and that&#8217;s where <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/introduces/YahooCash4Idiots" target="_blank">Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots</a> comes in.</p>
<p>David Cassady, the author of Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots, has worked professionally handling PPC campaigns for a variety of advertising companies. Which makes him an expert on the subject.</p>
<p>But that doesn&#8217;t make him a geek that talks in a language you can&#8217;t <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/yahoocash1.png"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/yahoocash1-thumb.png" border="0" alt="yahoocash1" width="190" height="244" align="right" /></a>follow. Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots is so-named because of the way it takes you through the simple steps necessary to sign up with your first Yahoo account, how to find suitable niche products to promote, the best way to set up a profitable campaigns and what makes good keyword lists.</p>
<p>But, if that was all, then Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots would just be yet another PPC book. What makes David&#8217;s treatise different is his description of the Yahoo &#8216;Glitch&#8217;, a strategy which will put you ahead of all of the PPC competition when you follow it.</p>
<p>Actually the Yahoo &#8216;Glitch&#8217; isn&#8217;t just one strategy - it&#8217;s a combination of three techniques that add up to letting you grab traffic that &#8216;normal&#8217; PPC campaigns would miss. Cunning stuff this.</p>
<p>I also, as an Adwords user, I loved the chapter on migrating Adwords campaigns into Yahoo PPC. As a complete starter&#8217;s guide to less competitive PPC, <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/introduces/YahooCash4Idiots" target="_blank">Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots</a> does exactly what it says on the box!</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/introduces/YahooCash4Idiots" target="_blank"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/yahoocash2.png" border="0" alt="yahoocash2" width="244" height="112" /></a> Find out more by clicking <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/introduces/YahooCash4Idiots" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

Instead you'll be targeting people who actively want to buy, who have their wallets out ready. All you have to do is point them in the right direction]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you read Adwords Profits 2? No, neither did I. But that doesn&#8217;t matter because Google Revenge is the latest from the same author, Jacobo Benitez. In Google Revenge he promises to crack the Adwords code to earning six figures online. Let&#8217;s see whether he does.</p>
<p>Even if you hate PPC with a vengeance, because maybe you&#8217;ve been stung in the past, Google Revenge sets out to change your mind. Because PPC is the fastest way of driving prospects to your websites so, if you can master it, Adwords is the key to quick profits.</p>
<p>And the key to making PPC work for you is your correct selection of keywords. What you don&#8217;t want to do is start bidding on keywords where you cannot afford to outbid the competition. What you DO want to do is bid on keywords that are going to bring you a Return On Investment.</p>
<p>How do you find these magical keywords? You use a good keyword tool. Google Revenge outlines the Keyword Krush method, and this is how it works.</p>
<p>Google Revenge shows you how to use the Adwords Keyword Tool (don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s free) to find people who are searching to buy. Yes, forget people who are just searching for information. Jacobo calls the majority of these &#8216;freebie seekers&#8217; and discounts them. Instead you&#8217;ll be targeting people who actively want to buy, who have their wallets out ready. All you have to do is point them in the right direction.<a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GoogleRevenge" target="_blank"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/box.png" border="0" alt="box" width="220" height="244" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>And how do you do that? Well that&#8217;s the &#8217;secret&#8217; in Google Revenge. I warn you, some people might consider the methods that Jacobo uses a little underhand. I just call it crazy. Crazy because it doesn&#8217;t do any selling, as such, it just leads the buyer by the nose to the order page.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all, folks!</p>
<p>&#8216;What? You mean that&#8217;s all there is?&#8217;, I hear you cry. Well that certainly is the Google Revenge system in its simplest form. Like all simple systems it works, and it works well. But remember, you have to know how to use PPC profitably.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s where the rest of Google Revenge starts its work. Because in the remaining 70 pages Jacobo shows you just what to do to optimize your Adwords campaigns and get free backlinks to the info&#8217; pages you set up.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/grevtemplate.png"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 5px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/grevtemplate-thumb.png" border="0" alt="grevtemplate" width="244" height="125" align="left" /></a> Finally, if you&#8217;ve never set up a web page in your life, or don&#8217;t even know what a domain is, don&#8217;t worry there either. Jacobo gives you the opportunity to download his web page templates and gives the complete lowdown on how to buy a domain, host your sites and use an autoresponder. You&#8217;d have to be brain dead not to be able to follow his straightforward instructions.</p>
<p>Now that really is all, folks. If you want more <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GoogleRevenge" target="_blank">click</a> here to find out if <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GoogleRevenge" target="_blank">Google Revenge</a> is your answer to fast profits.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you can see, this is a blog!</p>
<p>What you don&#8217;t know is that this is just one of my blogs. Each blog is aimed at imparting information and, because of that, each blog makes money.</p>
<p>Does that sound strange? It would do unless you have really understood the power of blogs. And, to do that, you need to have researched the attraction of blogs, their role as seen by the Search Engines, their relationship with social networking and, last but not least, how to monetize them.</p>
<p>Where do you find all this information? That&#8217;s easy, thanks to Blogging To The Bank 3.</p>
<p>The author of Blogging To The Bank, Rob Benwell is, like me, a UK resident, though the only importance of that is that I&#8217;ve followed Rob&#8217;s career since he first released Blogging To The Bank many years ago.</p>
<p>Since then he has refined his blogging techniques to the point where his blogs earn him in excess of six figures a year.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago I was fortunate enough to be a Beta tester of a Graphic Design application specifically aimed at creating website Header images. So what, you might say, there are a number of products like this.</p>
<p>Well two things stood out. One is that this application was from the creators of a favorite website builder software. The other is that this application, now it has launched, is FREE.</p>
<p>I found this very easy to use, thanks to some excellent templates, and within a few minutes I&#8217;d cooked up this header&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/header.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="107" alt="header" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/header-thumb.jpg" width="444" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m a seasoned Photoshop user, so I&#8217;m not going to make this application the mainstay of my website graphic designs. But I will turn to it when I want to knock up a header quickly for, say, a minisite or blog.</p>
<p>If you think this would benefit your site designs just sign up for my newsletter, by entering your name and email in the boxes under my mugshot, and I&#8217;ll send you the application page where you can get this graphic design software free.</p>
<p>No catches. It just works.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I was sent an email from a marketer inviting me to participate in online surveys. What I didn&#8217;t expect was to be taken to a site which &#8217;sold&#8217; a directory of online surveys. This is it&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/surveys.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/surveys-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="surveys" width="466" height="145" /></a></p>
<p>This is a VERY attractive header, don&#8217;t you think? Note the happy mother and child pic and the money apparently flowing out of the laptop. Also note the major brand names - I wonder if they know their trademarks are being used for this?</p>
<p>Anyway I&#8217;ll let you into a secret. All you&#8217;ll find inside this site, once you&#8217;ve got past the One Time Offers for other &#8216;money making opportunities&#8217;, is a huge list of survey companies. Most of these are out of date and don&#8217;t respond if you fill in the applications. When you do find one or two that are still functioning you&#8217;ll be filling in survey questions for the equivalent of $10 an hour.</p>
<p>I know because I did try this some years ago. It took me a month of filling in daily surveys to earn $50!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t fall for the false promises in the salesletters used by these websites. If you DO want to fill in surveys just do a search on Google, Yahoo and MSN. Ignore the sites trying to sell you &#8216;directories&#8217; and just concentrate on the links to companies actively looking for survey correspondents in your country.</p>
<p>But, I assure you, there are easier ways of earning money than this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like our old friend &#8216;The Rich Boy&#8217; is at it again! You&#8217;ll have read the review of The Rich Boy? If not click <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/the-rich-boy-oh-really.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Well The Rich Boy is out to get you again with another trumped up site<a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/lambo.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/lambo-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="lambo" width="244" height="173" align="right" /></a> called <a href="http://dwnld1.billkill.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">&#8216;Your Bill Killer&#8217;</a>. The claims on the salesletter, of course, are wonderful. &#8216;How I went from broke to $100,000&#8242; - you know the sort of thing. But when you get inside it&#8217;s another matter.</p>
<p>I have to say &#8216;Your Bill Killer&#8217; has gone out of its way to provide a mountain of products. The trouble is, they&#8217;re all other people&#8217;s products. For example a copy of Ewen Chia&#8217;s Autopilot Profits is there for you to watch the videos, there&#8217;s a bunch of audio interviews with well know affiliates (which usefully add kudos to the salesletter) and so on.</p>
<p>Now you might think that this is all very worthy. And it possibly would <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/freewebsite.png"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/freewebsite-thumb.png" border="0" alt="freewebsite" width="199" height="202" align="left" /></a> be if that was what was stated on the salespage. But what will really hook people into &#8216;Your Bill Killer&#8217; is the offer of a free money-making website.</p>
<p>Click on the link inside the download area and you&#8217;re taken to&#8230;<a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/freewebsites.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/freewebsites-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="freewebsites" width="244" height="158" align="right" /></a></p>
<p><a href=" http://dwnld1.productcen.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">www.myproductcenter.com</a></p>
<p>There you go, I&#8217;ve given you that link for free, out of the goodness of my own heart! Because, you know what? It isn&#8217;t free at all. Well the website is, but inside you are continually pushed to sign up to a bunch of webhosting offers plus extras that you probably don&#8217;t want and couldn&#8217;t make use of if you tried.</p>
<p>Oh, yes, and there&#8217;s a forum to help the &#8216;newbie&#8217;. This is populated by helpless users who&#8217;ve signed up desperate to make money and a few other affiliates who have found a way in and are promoting their own links in &#8216;helpful&#8217; messages. Hmmm&#8230;</p>
<p>Naturally what will happen is the &#8216;newbie&#8217; will be overwhelmed by information, may go as far as setting up his &#8216;free&#8217; website, get no traffic and no sales (I&#8217;ve had my own free website running for a month without one single sale) and then move on to the next &#8216;money-making offer&#8217;.</p>
<p>My advice? Stay away from Your Bill Killer! If you really want to start earning serious money in as short a time as possible take a look at this new <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/introduces/MoneyTreeChallenge" target="_self">system</a> which actually does give you the tools you need to become successful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>,,,or why building an email list is NOT enough!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the first thing you are told when you learn about Internet Marketing?</p>
<p>Give yourself a gold star if you answered &#8216;Build A List&#8217;. Yes, this was the message drummed into me from the very start. But, do you know something odd? It&#8217;s not true!</p>
<p>For those of you brought up on this old cliche it may come as some surprise that your marketing efforts should NOT be concentrated on building a list, despite what the &#8216;gurus&#8217; might say. I hadn&#8217;t thought much about this until I chanced on Michael Rasmussen&#8217;s &#8216;Get More Buyers&#8217;.<a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/getmorebuyerspack.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/getmorebuyerspack-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="getmorebuyerspack" width="244" height="194" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>In Michael&#8217;s promo video he pointed out that putting most of your efforts into building a list is the biggest mistake that budding affiliates make. So what is the answer?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s in the title - Get More Buyers. But how, I hear you ask, do you do this without building a list?</p>
<p>I can tell you what the answer is NOT. It&#8217;s not directing more traffic to your salespage(s). It is NOT reducing your price to try and drag in more sales (in fact you might be better doing just the opposite). It is NOT spending more on PayPerClick ads either.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GetMoreBuyers" target="_blank"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/getmorebuyers.jpg" border="0" alt="getmorebuyers" width="244" height="191" align="right" /></a> Just what it is Michael points out in a series of 10 Video chapters of Get More Buyers. If you are an experienced marketer you may already know some of these ten strategies. However if you are relatively new to Internet Marketing and are seriously wondering why you aren&#8217;t making more sales then Get More Buyers is going to be invaluable training for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GetMoreBuyers" target="_blank"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/getmorebuyersbattle.jpg" border="0" alt="getmorebuyersbattle" width="227" height="244" align="left" /></a> As well as the video series Michael has condensed his career success into a 140 page book called the Get More Buyers Battle Plan. And he doesn&#8217;t just leave it there. This accomplished set of training strategies ends with a Once You Have Your Buyers section or how to follow up and have your buyers hanging on your every word.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered why your &#8216;list&#8217; isn&#8217;t building you the income you expected OR you&#8217;ve yet to build an email list and want to get it right from the start then <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GetMoreBuyers" target="_blank">Get More Buyers</a> is going to be perfect for you. Read more about it <a href="http://http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/GetMoreBuyers" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cracking the Secret Affiliate Code - the second time round!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s silly, isn&#8217;t it? A new program is launched and there&#8217;s all this hoo-ha like &#8216;Go, Go, Go, Get It Now!&#8217; and you don&#8217;t even know what it does!</p>
<p>I trust you&#8217;re not one of those people who buys on a whim, otherwise you wouldn&#8217;t be reading this. So, you&#8217;ve seen the hype, you&#8217;ve read the salesletter, what&#8217;s REALLY behind the doors of Secret Affiliate Code 2?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve brought this review to you as quickly as I can because I know you&#8217;re probably gagging to know whether it is worth purchasing. So I haven&#8217;t been through every single inch of Secret Affiliate Code 2 yet. But I have taken the crash course which goes something like this&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sac2b.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sac2b-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="sac2b" width="166" height="244" align="left" /></a> Step 1. Download everything. This took me most of an afternoon! There&#8217;s bags of ebooks, videos, training documents adding up to over 400Mb of information.</p>
<p>Step 2. Luckily it&#8217;s all organized into a 1, 2, 3 arrangement so you know where to start (and when you&#8217;ll be finished, probably in a week&#8217;s time). First there&#8217;s the intro manual. As Craig says this is both a prequel and a sequel to the original Secret Affiliate Code. It starts off showing you how to concentrate on your goal - making money! You have to have focus if you are going to run this successfully - Craig gives you the key to that focus.</p>
<p>Step 3. Go through the manuals which cover the 3 core tasks to achieving success:<br />
1. Create Content<br />
2. Increase traffic<br />
3. Grow your list</p>
<p>You are given specific methods of achieving each task. For example for &#8216;Create Content&#8217; Craig shows you exactly how to find niches to target and the profitable keywords to use to monetize them.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sac2a.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sac2a-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="sac2a" width="240" height="129" align="right" /></a> Now I know that every affiliate&#8217;s major problem is how to attract traffic. So I was really pleased to read the &#8216;Cracked Code fast start traffic guide&#8217; that sets out a complete plan to collect traffic using free methods. Again this is a step by step guide - all you have to do is follow it to the letter.</p>
<p>After that growing your list is a cinch. Craig is explicit in the methods that will capture visitors to your site(s) and he explains how to do it in a series of ten videos. On top of that there&#8217;s another three videos covering List Building, Content Creation and Choosing a Profitable Niche.</p>
<p>These videos assume that you are just starting out as an affiliate, in other words they don&#8217;t leave ANYTHING to the imagination. You&#8217;re given every single thing you need to get started.</p>
<p>Honestly if you don&#8217;t &#8216;get it&#8217; at this point you&#8217;re never going to succeed as an affiliate because I can&#8217;t see much more that anyone can tell you!</p>
<p>There is one thing that Craig leaves out, however, and it&#8217;s a gap I&#8217;m going to fill for you. It would have saved a huge amount of time if Craig had given you a set of articles as &#8216;content&#8217; for your niche site(s). So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do.</p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sac2c.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://jonathanpaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/sac2c-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="sac2c" width="244" height="176" align="left" /></a> If you do decide that Secret Affiliate Code 2 is right for you then order through the link below, send me your receipt details and I&#8217;ll send you a batch of over a 1000 PLR Articles in six major niches that you can edit to suit your own requirements. That will get you on the road to getting traffic in no time flat.</p>
<p>Now the good news is that, for a few hours only, I am able to bring you a 50% discount on Secret Affiliate Code 2 if you click <a href="http://jonathanpaston.com/recommends/SecretAffiliateCode2" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

<p>At least go and see what&#8217;s on offer because I can tell you - if anyone else was selling training as complete as this it would cost ten times what Craig is asking for Secret Affiliate Code 2. Now &#8216;go get it&#8217; - oops, wasn&#8217;t that where we came in!</p>
