An SEO ebook worth all 500 pennies

This comes from our good friend, Ian Lurie...

If you're a copywriter and you write for the web, you've probably gone to the occasional seminar on SEO. Then you walk out with a pounding, piercing headache.

You're a writer. You shouldn't have to learn about keyword mining, pagerank and the robots meta tag. You just want to write quality content that search engines will like.

That's why I wrote The Unscary, Real World Guide to SEO Copywriting. In it, you'll find:

1. Plain language.
2. The six rules for successful SEO copywriting.
3. Guidelines for good headlines, article titles and link text.
4. How to create highly relevant 'clusters' of content on your site.
5. Not a single use of the word 'algorithm'.

The book's short, sweet and to the point: 30 pages, 6 rules for better SEO copy.

You can get it now. It costs $5. That's, what, one really lousy lunche?

You've got until midnight...

Wow!

Insane news today (and SORRY for the late notice)....I don't even know where to start.

The InnerMastermind Pay Per Click conference I attended in Las Vegas on Thursday/Friday was mind blowing but before I get to that...get THIS!.....

Last week I told you about Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula. I'm not going to tell you how great a tool it is--for that, you can read his lengthy info letter. What I am going to tell you is that Jeff did more than a million dollars in sales booked in about 12 hours (remember, he launched his Product Launch Formula on Thursday).

That's just plain crazy... I mean it was just a few years ago when doing a million dollars in a
day was nearly unthinkable for an Internet marketing product.

Here's what you need to know: if you are looking for the ULTIMATE guide to launching ANY product or service, you've got until midnight tonight to order the Product Launch Formula. There's no guarantee he'll be taking orders through the night (I understand he has to limit orders to approximately 500 because of customer service issues) but it's worth checking out:

http://www.cnotes.com/r/product_launch_formula.html

One last point about Jeff, the PLF, and my recommendation: I carefully choose which products I endorse and stand behind them 100%. There are only a handful of companies and products that I'm currently promoting and the PLF is at the top of my list....Schefren's CashMaps is another).


Las Vegas & PPC

So, last week I was invited to an intensive seminar in Vegas on pay per click advertising. The speaker is currently using pay per click to advertise a bunch of offers from several CPA ad networks.

This guy (and his partner) is no ordinary pay per click advertising specialist. As I expressed to others at the seminar, I consider myself to be quite advanced when it comes to Adwords and ppc in general. Little did I know how much more I could (and now, will) accomplish. The speaker (who must remain anonymous for reasons you'll understand in a few weeks), is earning between $50,000 and $150,000+ from ppc PER DAY.

I must tell you, I walked away from this event with a few pages of invaluable notes and insight. If you have ANY interest in either affiliate marketing or ppc advertising, this is the guy you want to learn from.

A few things I picked up:

• Don't underestimate Yahoo! for traffic (he currently derives SIXTY percent of his traffic from Yahoo! Search Marketing®).
• Two CPA networks you definitely want to join are AzoogleAds and Shareasale.
• Another great tool for online advertising is the Google Ad Planner.
• Creating HUGE lists of keywords is essential for certain types of campaigns.
  

As I digest what I learned from last week and as I start to apply some, if not most, of the methods discussed, I will have a lot more to share.

Fortunately, he's releasing a course which provides and inside look at his business. It promises to cover everything I learned last week and a lot more. I don't have any details yet but I know it's going to be a combination of videos, live webinars, and printed material. As soon as I get more info, you'll be the first to know. Stay alert.

Finally, speaking of ppc, I just got a heads up from Jeremy Palmer of the Black Ink Project about of a PPC flowchart from Giovanna Wall of SEO Book fame. Hey, if you're into ppc or affiliate marketing, the three links in this paragraph are going to immediately make it to your hotlist.

Happy reading,

Mike

Don't miss this freebie...

I'm taking off for Vegas in the morning but I had to get this out before I go.

First up...

Remember the heads up I gave you about the Product Launch Formula? Well, I just learned that the 'relaunch' of this awesome product goes live at 2:00pm eastern U.S. time tomorrow (Thursday).

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Product Launch Formula is only going to be available for a max of 24 hours (Jeff is only selling 500 copies but I'm sure he'll add a handful more after he sees how fast sales go).

Again, even if the price tag is too hefty, simply join his mailing list
and you'll be amazed at how much USEFUL free information you'll receive by way of the case studies he shares.

Hit this link at 2PM EST tomorrow (Thursday, Nov 13):

Pay attention to THIS freebie...

If you've been following me throughout the year, you know there are two things that I obsess about:

1. The importance (the absolute ESSENTIAL value) of building process maps to keep you on track with all of your web creation and internet marketing efforts.
   
   
2. The limitless amount of great information published by Rich Schefren (especially his Internet Business Manifesto).

Well, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: the guy who taught me all about the importance of process maps is Rich Schefren.

Understand this: Rich didn't sketch out a bunch of maps and hand them over to me; he taught by example. I viewed what he was doing and was blown away by the common sense of it all.

I can't tell you how much process mapping has changed the way I do business. Everything is smoother...faster...and more profitable. Believe me, I can't imagine doing what I do online without the several maps I've created.

Here's the best part: Rich just released CashMaps today.

As you probably guessed, Rich and his team have created a series of maps and are selling them via his web site (a new set every month). All I can tell you is that I got the first month's maps (re: blog marketing strategy) and I've got a huge smile on my face (I never knew about Feedblitz until I saw it highlighted on these maps).

You can get the first month of CashMaps free. Trust me, you'd be a fool not to add these to your Internet arsenal.

Here's your link:

Update on the free magazine offer

Well, the number of you who have taken advantage of this offer of a free subscription to Website Magazine has risen to 269. Great. But what I find puzzling is that 1,256 of you have shown interest. That means only 21% have completed the form. How to explain?

Post a comment if you can shed some light, please. Otherwise, the offer is still open so head over to Website Magazine and make sure you request the PRINT version so you get a hard copy mailed to you every month.

That's all for tonight.

Cheers,

Mike Corso

How To Launch A Product

This is one of those posts you'll be happy you read.

Obviously, you have a product or service or website that you'd like to promote or 'launch' and that's why you're reading this.

First things first...

Before I get to the main point of this post, let me just remind you that I'll be in Vegas Thursday and Friday attending a high level Adwords/Pay Per Click seminar (the speaker is a guy who's making (NETTING) between $50,000 and $100,000/day from pay per click advertising--I'll have a lot to say about this so STAY TUNED).

(Note: since I'll be on the road, Cool Talk will be off this week and return on November 20th.)


Did you get your free magazine?

Also, kudos to over 200 of you who ordered your free subscription to Website Magazine. This offer is still open so head over to Website Magazine and make sure you request the PRINT version so you get a hard copy mailed to you every month. It's essential reading if you're serious about this Web thing ;) Here's your link.


Ready, set, LAUNCH!...

OK, onto the meat of this post. I just got an email from my friend Jeff Walker, creator of the Product Launch Formula.

Jeff has been the mastermind behind some of the most outrageously successful launches of the last couple of years. He has been the "hired gun" behind the scenes, quietly guiding these massively successful launches.

Well, Jeff has finally decided to step out from the shadows and reveal his techniques. He has put together a complete home study course detailing ALL of his methods. I highly suggest you take a look at his course.

One warning though: his course is not cheap, however, if you simply join his mailing list you'll be amazed at how much USEFUL free information you'll receive in the way of video testimonials and case studies. Believe me, before I got Jeff's Product Launch Formula I was sponging as much free advice as I could from his regular mailings and shared case studies.

If you do decide to buy his course you better do this quickly. Jeff has a long history of making limited offers, and then pulling those offers down - sometimes even BEFORE the stated deadline (in case you're wondering, yeah, this tactic is part of his Product Launch Formula).

Here is the link:

Free Website Magazine

It's Friday and I'm stunned at how few of you have requested a FREE subscription to Website Magazine. Since last year, only 835 of you have ordered your free copy through Cool Site of the Day.

This shocks me because I read it cover-to-cover every month and truly look forward to its arrival in my mailbox (yes, I get the PRINT version and you should as well -- it's much more convenient than reading the digital version on screen).

In case this is the first time you're hearing about this ridiculously great offer, Website Magazine has generously offered a free subscription to all visitors to Cool Site of the Day (and that means YOU).

Again, Website Magazine is absolutely FREE, it's a great resource (taps the best minds in the Web community), it provides practical information for running a successful website, it's loaded with web design ideas and tips for SEO and online marketing.

Plus, it's GREEN -- they plant a tree on behalf of each subscriber and, most important, it's not too technical and not too basic.

Here's your link.

Set yourself up for a strong 2009.

Enjoy the weekend,

Mike

P.S. It only takes 2 minutes to complete the online subscription form so just do it and join over 120,000 website owners, operators, and marketers read this great publication.

P.P.S. Don't forget to request the PRINT version so it arrives in your mailbox every month.

Google Adwords & Affiliate Marketing

My live webcast, Cool Talk begins in about one hour (1:30PM EST).

I hope you'll join me because I'm going to discuss a few things I picked up at the ad-tech conference in New York on Tuesday (I sat down with some Google people and learned a few Adwords and Conversion Tracking tricks).

Here are a few pointers:

• Make sure you choose Phrase Match or Exact Match when entering keywords
• Include single and plural variations of your keywords
• When setting up a campaign, be sure to create Ad Variations (and highlight your competitive advantage)
• When you find a high-performing keyword, create a NEW campaign just for that keyword and RAISE your daily budget (same applies for 'content' ad group keywords)
• When adding 'Content' keywords, don't include more than 50 keywords (plus Phrase and Exact Match don't work in Content ads)
• Adwords Editor: if you use this tool, they recently added a neat feature. It's a keyword expansion tool and you'll find it under Keyword Optimizer Tool/Tabs: Keyword Expansion.

Affiliate Marketing Tips

Also, I met with my 'ace-in-the-hole' affiliate network manager, Gary Mcnelley from MarketHealth and found out which hot products I'll be advertising this quarter (this is the guy who turned me onto the right product mix that helped me earn over $200,000 in two years so I think you'll want to dabble around here). Anyway, here's what you do:

1. signup as an affiliate of MarketHealth
2. Focus on their niche products (diet stuff is too competitive for pay per click these days). Hint: nail fungus and boils. There I said it. Do what you will.

A reminder: register as an affiliate for Commission River and mark you calendars for a conference call on November 20th at 9PM EST. This is another outstanding affiliate program. (Pssssst....anyone who registers as an affiliate for either of these programs (using the links above) will be invited to join me on a series of private VIP calls where I share what's working for me. Stay connected.)

Finally, if you're one of the first 3 callers today, you'll get to go live with me and get to ask any questions related to your online/web marketing efforts.

One last thing, I was invited to go to Las Vegas next week and spend a day with a guy who's making (NETTING) between $50,000 and $100,000/day from pay per click advertising. I can't wait for this pow wow and I'll be sure to share as much as I'm able when I return ;

Cheers,
