Thursday Hotlist

How's that for a title?

Well, I've got three things to share today and they're all sizzling ;)

First, through the end of the year, I'm offering a deep discount on my one-on-one consultations and site analyses. Let's work together to make sure you start 2009 on sound footing. My 60-minute calls are designed to do three things:

1. Improve traffic to your site
2. Turn your visitors into subscribers or customers
3. Make sure you're adding the right content to your site

Second, as you know, since my trip to Las Vegas last month, I have shifted my business almost entirely to pay per click advertising and lead generation. If you've read the 27-page report at The Arbitrage Conspiracy you know why (btw, that report is free so GO GET IT).

Many of you have already registered for the course via my link and will receive a $100 gift card from me for doing so (which also instantly qualifies you to become a member of my VIP Pay Per Click Mastermind Group; details here).

Anyway, I know they're going to limit the number of people who can take advantage of this INSANE opportunity so don't waiver. Here's your date with destiny:

Finally, join me today for my live webcast at 1:30PM EST for a discussion on pay per click advertising, affiliate programs (big tip here), and more. Plus, you'll have a chance to ask any questions related to your website and Internet marketing.

Cheers,

Mike

Arbitrage Conspiracy EXPLODES

They say never to post on Friday afternoons but this can't wait (if you don't have time now, be sure to devote a portion of your weekend to it).

I just uploaded this video for you--check it out (you'll also find an audio link here to a 30-minute webcast I held yesterday devoted to Aymen (the '$100,000 A Day' man), pay per click advertising, and the course).

A few moments ago I chatted with one of the guys putting the Arbitrage Conspiracy together and the news is staggering...

• Nearly half a million people visited the registration page (Cool Site of the Day, alone, sent over 2,000 folks and several have already ordered the 12-week course).
  
  
• Overall, orders exploded yesterday - they couldn't even believe how many wanted in.
  
  
• They ARE limiting the number of students so this isn't the time to sit on the fence (trust me, I've been in this biz for 15 years and I've never seen an opportunity like this).
  
  
• Many more surprise bonuses will be added to the package (such as one-on-one consultations with Aymen)

Finally, doors open Monday...don't be late for class.

Good luck and reach out to me with any questions.

Have a great weekend,

Mike Corso

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:

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

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,

Mike Corso
