Keyword Country 5 Beta is Here

August 19, 2007 By

Keyword Country 5 Opens it doors for free – Beta Testers Invited For Pre-Release Test

 

[Keyword Country->] 5 is finally here.   ( note:  The * Beta * Link is on the far right of the navigation bar at the top of the page )
 
And in a world of stale and sort of unexciting keyword tools, I must say – I’m pretty excited at what [keyword  country->] is bringing to the table  – and for a limited time while in Beta  test, for free!

KC is still a pretty obscure tool in the ever important online popularity contest, and I’ve got to say – I’m glad that they’ve managed to fly under the radar for as long as they have.  Yes, true enough – lots of people use it, but compared to Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery, et al – it still has kept a generally low profile compared to the bigger players in the marketplace.  But what it does ( and the Beta V5 version just  takes this to a completely new level of proficiency  ) is find the keywords that are the most powerful and most profitable and allow you to quickly and easily organize them and incorporate them into your web pages and promotions. 

Very simply – Keyword Country identifies the very best Adsense Keywords to include on your pages.  It does this by not only giving you the highest CPC ( Cost Per Click )for the words that you are targeting for your pages if you are an adsense publisher -  it also ( and much more importantly ) includes the ACPC ( Average Cost Per Click ) for those very same words. 

Why is that important? 

Well – if  like me – you used to build pages around very targeted niches with high  Google CPC figures, only to discover that the actual adsense revenue those exact same clicks were paying was only a fraction of the promised premium payouts……It’s a pretty aggravating process to say the least.    But, common sense would dictate that just because a phrase promises a high CPC – if there are limited advertisers on that phrase, even if the advertiser sets a maximum bid of $100 – the actual amount that advertiser is paying could be 1.20 – or 90 cents – or really any amount for that matter.

Think you are going to make 50 bucks when that ad is clicked on your niche website?

Think again.

So again – where [keyword country->] stands out as a contextual advertisers best friend – is by giving you depth and breadth in it’s analysis  of the keyword marketplace.  For example – it provides CPC and ACPC data for a much better analysis of potential payout, plus – number of clicks per month, advertisers, competition, monthly searches, KEI, R/S ratio and a whole hell of alot more.

I love it – and have paid close to a hundred bucks of month in the past to get my hands on what I ( and lots of others ) think is the absolute  best underground tool for contextual ad publishers looking to properly monetize their adsense empires.

But since Saturday – I’ve been using the turbo charged  KC Version 5 Beta for free and if you act fast – so can you!  Because they are asking for people to test out the newest version which adds a whole bunch of layers of form, function and pure potential madness to the previous set of features ( some listed below from KC’s beta page) – you can get your hands on it for free as well while it  remains in beta mode.  No Credit Card – no 14 day trial – no bait and switch bullshit of any kind…..  Just a great offer for a great tool I would recommend paying for if it wasn’t free!

[go  get it->keyword country]!    ( note:  The * Beta * Link is on the far right of the navigation bar at the top of the page )

Are Really, Really Good Looking People Better Marketers?

August 16, 2007 By

I love the process of experimentation. 

The idea of sitting down, setting a goal and just sort of throwing a whole bunch of stuff out there and watching to see what sticks. 

And the amazing part – the enduring, always illuminating and recurring realization that smacks any astute marketing mind upside the head when he or she has finished a particular adventure in response rates is – well – everything you anticipated would work well didn’t – and the stuff that you sort of threw out as an afterthought – brought the proverbial house down.

You know what, I’d like to make a small qualification.  Mostly because I hate to say, after all of these years of doing direct response marketing, and having millions of dollars in client revenue to show for the years of ups and downs and round and rounds where you are never quite sure yet you think you have a pretty good idea and it turns out you did but not quite exactly how you thought it would………

Everpresent Awareness.  That unchanging truth that sits.  Slightly out of arms reach but always there.  Watching for signs of life.  Creativity is Key.  And King.

What works is this.   And I forget it still. 

Say something.  Don’t stutter.  Say it well.  Entertain people.  Cradle their curiousity.  Motivate their minds.  Be different.  And stop parroting all of the nonsensical nothingness and sea of silliness & similarity that is out there – that pervades the marketing message that bombards our senses with every twist of the head and turn of the dial.

Say something different.  Be funny.  Be Yourself.   Plan it, stream it, channel it or just let it flow.  What people will, or will not respond to will amaze you too. 

( A very successful Ad I ran on Craigslist a few days ago – after days of running the old smart guy for hire approach – this one – I posted as a lark, brough the house down with responses.  Who Knew?..:-)

Are Really, Really Good Looking People Better Marketers?

It’s interesting because people often ask me if being really, really good looking tends to be a advantage in my online marketing business. And truthfully, I’m going to tell you that while yes, in general, being exceptionally attractive does have many advantages throughout the course of my ordinary day (ie – being able to cut in line, having my groceries paid for by strangers and being free of most local and municipal taxes) it really hasn’t helped me build a small empire of 25 niche marketing sites in less than 6 months while holding down a full time business to boot. I guess you could say my uncanny business acumen hasn’t hurt – but in truth, it really wasn’t that hard to do – just simply learning some basic traffic generation techniques and really just following through on a daily basis. You Can do the Exact Same Thing and I will help you do it. Click here to Learn More. I’d also like to point out that I’m shorter than the average man – ( recent census statistics say that the average height for an american male is 5’10 and some loose change) and I’m just a lick over 5’9. But – I do most of my best work sitting down these days, so I’ve even been able to do away with the little shoe lifts I used to wear to the office every day that I bought from the Sharper Image catalog. Mostly because my Boss was 6 foot 7 or 8 or something freaky like that which made trying to hit hit over the head with a paper weight a really difficut feat – even though I have long arms and lots of motivation. Really, what I’m trying to say is – if you want to see how I do it – and want to give your business a kick in the proverbial rumpus – or even if you are just starting out, I’d love to help you. And for a limited time, I’ll do it for free. You Know you are curious – Why Wait? Life is Short. My energy is limitless but my time isn’t – first come, first served..;-)

I Make Ugly Websites: An Ode to Audioslave

August 9, 2007 By

And even when you’ve paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don’t lose any sleep tonight
I’m sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

I had an epiphany last night while rocking out to Audioslave during my 90 minute martial arts training session in the gym.  ( translation: while in my spare upstairs bedroom on disk two of the Billy Blanks Tae Bo Boot Camp).

In a world where you can be anything – be yourself. 

And honest with yourself.  And with everybody else.  But don’t ever sell yourself short.  And by deviating from what you truely believe about yourself, and what you can accomplish for yourself, or for others, is the first step on that slipperly slope of selling out.  And selling short. 

So the truth is – I do make ugly websites.  Lots of of them.  And quickly.   And well.   And I decided, rather then to advertise something that I’m not – well, I minus well start selling what I am.   And let the chips – ( or clicks in this case ) fall where they may.

I Make Ugly Websites

I make really ugly websites.  Smarmy, cheesy, blocky, fugly sites that just suck up web traffic like there is no tommorow.  I write landing pages that convert like crazy, PPC ads and campaigns that double and triple ROI – I know grey hat SEO techniques that will leave your competition in the dust, create link bait that will leave them green with envy, I am an Article Marketing Master, teach simple video blogging tricks that make money so easily they should be illegal ( but don’t worry, they’re not..:-), use Social Bookmarking and Networking sites like Digg, Delicious and Netscape to get my clients sites indexed overnight and with traffic often within hours of setting my grubby little fingers free on the keyboard. I am a mercenary for your business.  An evangelist for your site, and your service.  My brain percolates direct marketing ideas 20 hours a day only resting for 3 hours of deep formless sleep and one hour of Vipassana meditation so that I may afford myself the appropriate level of concentration, wisdom and insight to serve your needs.  And if I had another hour in the day – I would spend it basking comfortably in the reflective glow of my own creative genius.

And yet – I make ugly sites.  If you want pretty pages – hire an artist – they have cool tatoos and often times play the guitar.    If you want to make more money – I am only a phone call – or email away.  

I live breathe eat and sleep marketing magic – and for the next 30 days will be taking a select few clients in the Philadphia area.  If you want to be one of them, email me for a free consultation.  I have boundless energy, but only limited time – so dont’ delay, fire away..:-)  If you have questions, I have answers.  Free Consultation by phone or email until spots fill up!
