I Call It Squidoo Stew

I call it Squidoo Stew

Please forgive my Saturday morning ramblings.

I know, it might be Saturday afternoon or Sunday... or even
Monday, when you receive this. Nevertheless, it's Saturday
morning as a write.

So there. :-P

Here come the ramblings, kind of a stew from me to you :-)

1) If you haven't put your link on my Squidoo lens
yet, you are missing out on a great opportunity to get a
link on a very high trafficked site.

How high is the traffic?

Yesterday, my lens was #21 out of over 80,000 (that's eighty
THOUSAND) lenses around the world.

May as well take advantage of this and post your link in
one of the sections of my Squidoo lens!

http://www.squidoo.com/joelcomm/
2) Kontera has announced that they will now be introducing
video ads into their in-text ad system! This is great news
as it means their CPM will likely be increasing for these
ads.

If you haven't signed up for Kontera yet, you're leaving
money on the table. They will accept almost ANY publisher,
regardless of how many visits your site has, as long as you
apply as a "friend of Joel Comm".

And if you have applied and received your tags, for crying
out loud... Put 'em on your site! They won't make you any
money if you don't.

Sign up at:

3) If you haven't watched Rich Schefren's free video yet,
I'm going to ask you a question...

Why not?!?!

It's free and it's quality material that will help you with
your Internet business, no matter what you do.

4) I went to see Chris Rice last night in Fort Collins.
It was a totally acoustic show, with just Chris, his
guitar and his piano.

In an age where so much music is full of angst, anger
and meaningless tripe, it is refreshing to have artists
like Chris who sing from the heart and inspire you to
make the world a better place.

If you haven't heard any of his stuff, follow this link
and pick up ANY of his CDs. They are all wonderful,
inspiring, and won't leave you feeling depressed. ;-)

Ok, I'm off to unpack more of my stuff, and maybe take
in a view of the mountains...

To your success,

Even though Brian has a very small list, he manages to be a top 20
affiliate for some of the biggest product launches online.

with a list of only 1,286 subscribers!

It's true!

How did he do it?

success?

Geeez... I can't believe I am about to do this...

Google's Referral Program Means Cash For You

Google's Referral Program Means Cash for You

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
I've been pretty lukewarm about Google's referral products. They've
been pushing them pretty hard but I haven't been impressed. I'm not
convinced that the Google Pack contains anything worth writing home
about. I don't care enough about Mozilla to recommend that everyone
downloads Firefox. And the commissions that Google is offering for
its downloads just aren't big enough to take up real estate on my
Web pages.
I'd rather put together a joint venture with the creator of a
product I genuinely love, recommend it to my readers and bring
benefits to everyone.
But that could be about to change.
For the last few months, Google has been running a Beta on a new
referral program.

"Your AdSense account has been closed for invalid clicks..."

One of the challenges of building pages for AdSense is that until
the page is up and running, you can't really tell which ads you're
going to get.
And that's vital information.
Apart from the fact that you can't know which ads to filter out if
you don't even know which are going to show up, seeing the ads
before you go live can help you decide which keywords to focus on.
Change your content a little to throw in some different keywords
and you could get completely different ads -- this time, ads that
you think are more likely to attract your users.
Until now, the way most people tried to see which ads their content
could generate was by using Google's own AdSense preview tool. But
it wasn't great. It only worked with Explorer and the page had to
be created before you could see the results.
That's why Amit Agarwal's Google AdSense Sandbox is such a cool
tool. It lets you toss in keywords and see the results right
away... in every different format of AdSense unit.
http://www.labnol.org/google-adsense-sandbox/
Not only will you be able to see which ads you're going to get,
you'll also be able to see which ads look the best.
Now if Amit can get the ads to display each ad's cost-per-click
too, life would be perfect.
That's it for now...

Google is on track to take in over $14 billion in advertising
revenue in 2007.

Fourteen BILLION dollars.
Yikes!
That's a lot of cash, don't you think?
But the best part is that they are sharing a portion of that
revenue with people like you and me!
That part makes me smile. And it has made me smile for over three
years now.
Last year I smiled to the tune of nearly $250,000 generated in
Google AdSense revenue.

Have You Had Enough Of This?

Have You Had Enough of This?

I can't take it any longer.
I've seen a few trends taking place in Internet marketing lately,
and I don't think they are right.
It's time to take off the gloves because I've got something to say.
I'm throwing caution to the wind because I think someone has got to
stand up and speak the truth. If I take heat for it, so be it.
Here goes...
1) I have noticed an increasing number of marketing campaigns that
attempt to demean, humiliate and otherwise talk down to the very
people they are attempting to sell to.
You know exactly what I am talking about... and I'll bet you are
sick of it too.
It's the "I'm better than you" marketing approach I am talking
about.
It's total Barbra Streisand. (B.S., in case you missed it...)
No one is better than you. And certainly not because someone else
may have more money than you do.
Some of the most miserable people in the world are those who have
so much money they don't know what to do with it.
Money does NOT equal happiness.
Money does NOT equal contentment.
And money does not necessarily equal success.
It's what you DO with your money that really counts.
If you squander it on your own pleasures and think that it somehow
makes you more important, you may need to have your head examined.
I was taught at a young age that it is common for bullies to make
themselves look bigger by pushing other people down. It's what you
do when you don't really have anything positive to say.
I hope that you are as turned off by marketing campaigns that talk
down to you as I am. I am insulted by their brashness and
disrespectful attitudes. And I find them to be as immature as a
four-year old bully on a playground.
If you want to learn Internet marketing, learn it from someone who
respects you and actually cares about your success.
Moving along to my next complaint...
2) Copycat marketers who do nothing more than watch for someone to
succeed with a product and then produce a cheap knockoff, all the
while passing themselves off as "an expert".
I've seen it happen again and again.
Most often, the copycats are no more an expert than you. They just
know how to write copy to make themselves look good.
So how do you know who to trust?
Ask others.
Google their names and see if they have a past history.
Visit the forums and see what people are saying.
But don't fall for the copycat trap. You'll almost always end up
with an inferior product from a marketer who couldn't care less
about you are your success. They just want your money. Period.
Next, please...
3) Too many bonuses that end up hurting you rather than helping.
I'm not talking about offering bonuses for your own products. I'm
talking about the affiliate bonuses that you are pounded with every
time a launch takes place.
You've seen the emails...
"Don't buy Billy Schmeckles Ultimate Cash Sucker until you read
this!"
I understand why people offer bonuses for product launches.
Everyone wants you to buy through their affiliate link so they earn
the commission.
If you'll notice, I do this very rarely. And when I DO offer a
bonus, it is usually something simple like an ebook or report that
is somehow relevant to the offer.
And for the most part, the bonuses offered by Internet marketers
are valuable. But occasionally there are marketers who will pile
on the bonuses with so much "stuff", you can't even see the offer
that attracted you in the first place!
Remember how I've talked about being focused and that too much
product can distract you from reaching your goals?
Bingo.
If the product isn't worth the purchase price without the bonuses,
you probably have no business buying it in the first place.
Enough said.
Shall we go to the next one?
4) Damaging bonuses that sound good... but are cr@p
Have you ever seen a marketer offer "fresh mailing lists" as a
bonus?
It ought to set off red warning lights on your computer!
Unless you want to become a spammer, I'd be extremely cautious
about accepting mailing lists of any kind from other people.
In order to comply with Can-SPAM regulations, your email list must
be double opt-in and gathered by you for purposes that are stated
at the time the email was aquired.
If you take someone else's list, whether it is fresh or not (and I
am HIGHLY suspect that it is...), and you send email to that list,
congratulate yourself on entering the realm of SPAMMER.
Could someone please explain to me how this is helpful?
Yeah. That's what I thought.
Unscrupulous marketers who provide this kind of bonus are the snake
oil salesmen of our day.
They are the ones that give Internet marketers a bad name. If you
stop supporting them, their selfish and careless efforts will no
longer have an impact.
Ok, I am done blowing off steam.
Is there a product launch today?
Yes, there is.
Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson have launched the Marketing
Main Event 3, a packed membership site that is definitely worth the
investment.
Take a look at what Jeremy and Simon have put together. It's
impressive and a fine example of a worthwhile product that provides
real value to the customer.
http://www.marketingmainevent3.com/rep/joelcomm/
And no, I am NOT offering a bonus! ;-)
I'd love to hear your comments today, so please post them on my
blog at:

It's A Newbie Alert!

It's a Newbie Alert!

Joel Comm's AdSense Secrets
May 31, 2007
www.AskJoelComm.com
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Have you been called a "newbie"?
From the Wikipedia:
"Newbie" can be used as an endearing term to identify newcomers to
a game, place, or organization.
See, it isn't a bad thing. It just means that you are new to the
Internet marketing realm.
Think about this...
The newbies of today, are the oldbies of tomorrow.
Hmmm... I think I just coined a new word.
Nevertheless, this seems to be "newbie week"
A few days ago, I told you about Ben Shaffer's Emergency Cash Plan
video system. It was a major hit and Ben is getting great feedback
from those of you who took advantage of this program.
If you missed it, go to
http://www.adsense-secrets.com/quickcash.html to see what the
hubbub is all about.
Fast forward to today...
I find out that Ewen Chia actually has a program called "The Newbie
Cash Machine"!
With great skepticism, I took a look at Ewen's program.
And after viewing the page, I'll say this...
8-0
For those who are thinking "what the heck does eight minus zero
have to do with anything?", then you are the ones I am talking to.
:-)
That's just a "smiley" that means "holy moly, this thing is
incredible!"
Ewen has packed it all in there, and really focused on helping the
new person by providing a step-by-step course that truly takes you
by the hand so you don't miss a thing.
What's more, it's priced way low. I'm not sure what Ewen is doing,
but he could easily charge four times what he is charging. No joke.
It really is "newbie week". I, for one, am glad to see such
excellent resources being created for those wanting to get in to
this business... at a VERY fair price.

Submitting Articles Can Get You Traffic!

Submitting Articles Can Get You Traffic!

Let's talk about content.
It's the backbone of the web.
Sure, you can also find chat rooms, games and some other stuff on
the web.
But content is the driving force behind most web sites, especially
if you are looking to make money with AdSense.
Of course, you can have all the top-notch content in the world on
your site, but if you no one can find it... well, you know the
story.
One great way to drive traffic to your site for free is by writing
articles and syndicating them to the right article sites.
A reader recently wrote and asked me which is the best site to
submit articles in order to get more traffic, and I have a very
definitive answer.

Here Are Quick Tips For Fast Cash

Here are Quick Tips for Fast Cash

You've heard it before...
$20,000 in one day!
$100,000 in a week!
A Gazillion dollars in a month!
The Internet marketing community is being inundated with messages
telling people how they can make outrageous sums of money in a very
short period of time.
Sometimes these claims are valid.
Other times they seem like "pie in the sky".
I always teach that making money with AdSense is NOT get rich
quick. It is about building a content-rich site that grows over
time and generates increasing amounts of cash as more people visit
the site.
That's a good thing.
But finding ways to make fast cash is also a good thing.
That's why Ben Shaffer got my attention when he sent me an email a
few days back.
With all the promises of making BIG money in a short period of
time, Ben told me that there isn't anyone teaching people how to
make a little bit of money in that same period of time.
That is, everyone wants to make the BIG HIT. And there is nothing
wrong with that.
But what about some simple steps that anyone could take in the next
24 hours...
... and generate instant cash!
Ben has put together a series of videos revealing TWENTY ideas that
you can implement instantly to generate cash.
Frankly, I am pretty impressed. These ideas really work and there
is no reason anyone can't get started making more money online
within the next 24 hours.
It amazes me how people keep coming up with ways to make money
online. Ben's "Emergency Cash Plans" video series is a no-brainer
if you want to find out how to get started right away.
