Hanging Out With Yanik

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Here’s a shot of my wife (Nancy) and I hanging out with
Yanik Silver. She thought that Yanik was pretty cool. I KNOW
that Yanik’s very cool. He’s a very genuine person.

$30 Million A Month From AdSense?

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Yes, you read that right… there is reportedly a website
earning that much money just from AdSense each month. What
website it that?

MySpace.

That is amazing but MySpace gets an amazing amount of traffic.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t get a different
percentage payout than the average webmaster.

My personal AdSense revenue is down, and my focus is shifting
somewhat. I generally prefer sending my traffic elsewhere. I’ll
tell you about that more later.

I’m also doing a lot more with AdWords. I use Gauher Chadhry’s
Pay Per Click Formula.

I’m getting a very good ROI using Gauher’s system. For a while
I had let up in using pay per clicks, although at one time I
could consistently earn $7 for every dollar that I spent. That
was back when Marlon Sanders dubbed me “The King Of Pay Per Clicks” :-)
Pay per clicks do take a little work to get going. For many people,
as many as 7-8 out of 10 campaigns that they set up will not be
profitable. That’s why many people give up. The key is to delete
the unprofitable campaigns fast and keep setting up new ones.

Here’s a shot my wife Nancy and I took with Peter Graves of
Mission Impossible fame. Peter also played the pilot in Airplane.

I had chatted briefly with Peter the day before this photo.
When I approached him and pointed at him, he pointed at him,
he pointed back,and quipped “Sidney Piotier right.”

Interestingly enough, one of the projects I working on is
to get on an upcoming episode of Oprah where she will feature
Sidney Poitier. I see it as a very real possibility :-)
Anyway, just wanted to share with you the shot from Underground
Online Seminar III. I already looking forward to next year.

Traffic Secrets From Underground Online Seminar III

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

The speakers at Yanik Silver’s Underground Online
Seminar III covered topics ranging from Ebay, to
membership Sites, to selling physical products, to
SEO and traffic generation.

I arrived mid-day on Friday and attended practically
all of the sessions… even those covering topics
that I already KNEW a lot about. My reason for
doing this is something I discussed with Yanik
over dinner Sunday night. One of the interviews
I got through Dan Kennedy’s Inner Circle covered
the difference between successful people and
ultra-successful people. That difference, as
discussed in this interview, was that the ultra-
achievers never stopped seeking that “slight edge.”
They know that just one little thing giving them
a slight edge over their nearest rival can yield
exponential results… At most conferences,
you won’t see most of the speakers, and most of
the bigger name marketers listening to MOST of
the presentations. You’ll always see me attending
and taking notes during most of the presentation.

At Yanik’s… someone commented that they noticed
this about me and Ted Nicholas…. we were attentively
listening to most of the speakers.

Anyway, one of my biggest take-aways from Yanik’s
Underground Online Seminar III was that most of us
are working WAY too hard to generate traffic and
sales. Many of the speakers there simply bought
all of the traffic they wanted. They bought
MILLIONS ofpageviews per month for mere pennies
each and then directed it to where they wanted it.

I won’t share with you exactly how they did this.
Yanik’s DVD’s will be available eventually and
there you can hear all of the persentations..
except for a few times when the speakers asked
the cameraman to turn off the camera. Some things
were THAT sensitive.

This does tie in with a guy that I told you
about earlier who earns six-figures every month
simply redirecting pay-per-click traffic. In
case you don’t remember that resouce it’s at
http://WillieCrawford.com/traffic.htm

The guy above is offering his very comprehensive
course, which I HAVE worked my way through and
implemented some of what he teaches. Part of
my time a Yanik’s was spent monitoring my results
from those campaigns. I kept my laptop with me
and when I could get a wireless Connection, I
often monitored the results of my redirecting
traffic… in between taking notes while listening
to speakers, and talking to other seminar
attendees.

Anyway, check out this course because he only
had several hundred copies of course printed up.

Traffic is where it’s at on the internet.
Without traffic, being sent to a high converting
page/offer, you don’t make money. The thing is,
those in the know get all the traffic that they
want… LITERALLY. They pay for it but since
they know their metrics and drive that traffic
to pages that convert, they are in a fairly
simple, ongoing “business.”

New Category - People That You Should Know

Monday, March 26th, 2007

For a long time I have been thinking of starting
a site that reviews the various “gurus” or that
shares with you people that I have tremendous
trust and respect for. Now, I’ve decided to just
introduce them here instead.

I imagine that after a few months that I will
have covered many of the recognized experts as
well as some of the rising stars. I’ll likely
begin with people that I have photos with for
several reasons. One is because it adds more
color to my blog, breaking up all of the plain
text. Secondly, I have hundreds of great photos
that I’ve taken at seminars, and gathering, and
need to USE them somewhere.

So, stay tuned to this section of the blog.
When you visit the blog, if you want to you can
just click on the link for this section and
then scroll down the page reading the entries.
Since these are all people that I personally
know, you won’t get just speculation, you
WILL get my personal opinion, but you’ll also
get some unique insights.

Anyway, that’s the purpose of this section of
my blog.

Blogging While Driving Down The Interstate!

Monday, March 26th, 2007

First of all… I wanted to mention that I’m
blogging while driving down Interstate 95 in
my car. Don’t worry, my wife is driving. I’m
connecting using a netcard and using Verizon
Wireless… and the connection is actually
better than it was in the hotel!

Technology is amazing!

I just thought I’d see if I could get online
out on the freeway. I’m nearing Fayettville,
North Carolina where I’ll visit my brother
before heading home.

With just a laptop and a netcard you literally
CAN run a business from anywhere!

Day 2 Of Yanik’s Underground Online III

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

Just checking in from Yanik Silver’s Underground
Online Seminar III. The crowd is HUGE and many
of them are sitting on the edge of their seats
taking notes. We just finished up a presentation
on how to rank really high on the organic searches
for some fairly competitive terms. I’m actually
going to implement several of these techniques
today.

That’s a key to getting the most out of a seminar.
As soon as you learn a new technique, and you can
implement it, you should. I often do this right
while sitting in the back of the room listening to
the speakers. The internet connection is not that
great in the meeting room though, so I have to do
it afterhours and on breaks.

I couldn’t even get my Verizon wireless card to
pickup :-(
I’ll plan on showing you some of my improved page
rank… for some of my very competitive keywords
later.
