Lock In To Unlimited Article Submissions With The Best Article Marketing Service On The Internet - Before The Price Hike...




Article marketing expert, Steve Shaw, has just announced that users of SubmitYourArticle can now submit as many articles as they like each month through his service. (Until now there was a limit of eight articles per month, and it was still excellent value.)

The best thing about it is that it's all at no extra cost ... but, yes, there is a catch.
If you sign up before then, you can 'lock in' to their existing price - you'll effectively then be able to use the service at a considerable discount, month after month, with no increase to you.

But you really do only have a couple days left if you want to 'lock in' unlimited article submissions at the lower monthly rate, so click here to take advantage of the offer.

David Hurley

PS. Personally I love this service, and highly recommend it as the best article submission service on the Internet. But Steve has clearly stated that they will definitely be putting up the cost of using it at 12pm EST on October 1st, 2009, it's no gimmick. This is a strictly limited opportunity for you to lock in to their current price level - don't risk disappointment, just join SubmitYourArticle today.

Prosperity Marketing System: A Funded Proposal System Like No Other...

Prosperity Marketing System



If you are looking for a funded proposal system that is also a beautifully produced, idiot-proof online business builder that will also train COMPLETE beginners (i.e. including people who don't know how to cut and paste...), I'd like to recommend Prosperity Marketing System.

At the moment you can get in early by joining for a one-time payment of $27 (soon to go up) and earn over 90% in commissions on the front end for each referral.

You will also be able to earn 50% residual income of $9 per month when members upgrade.

Even if nobody upgrades, you'll be in profit on your second referral - and referrals for a programme as professional as this will NOT be hard to find once you put the word out.

Check the link to see what I mean about "professional" - and enjoy the hypnotic video!

Prosperity Marketing System is ideal for the busy marketer who wants to promote everything via ONE link.

I am not easily impressed, but I am very impressed with this system: it is simply the best funded proposal system that I have seen - ever (and I have seen quite a few in the last couple of years).

The instructions are very clear. It is easy to understand what to do to set up the system to promote your own affiliate links. It is easy to understand how to market the system and start making money with it. The explanations backed up by audio and video tutorials.

MORE GOOD NEWS: A FREE UPSELL!


More good news... I knew there would be an "upsell" on the "backend" once I was inside the system. Sure enough, I found it...

...BUT...

...it was FREE to join and you can start making money with it straight away.

I've never seen a FREE backend product before - and not one as good as this. You WILL make money with it even if you don't do any selling.

Actually, you have a choice of going with the backend product or paying $19.97 a month to replace your sponsor's primary business with your own product. I'm sticking with the free product for now while I get to know how everything works and will promote my other stuff elsewhere within the system.

By focusing on this "funded proposal system" you will get money up-front each time someone joins, and you will be able to market to them via your autoresponder (several of the leading autoresponder services plug right into the system) and via your links inside the system.

At the same time you will be giving your downline an easy education in Internet marketing.

Perfect!

The system has only just been launched so to get in early, click the link to join Prosperity Marketing System.

Testing The Traffic Exchanges With Ad Tracking

I have been running a test on the traffic exchanges for an affiliate sales page (NOT a squeeze page) to see what kind of pulling power it has and also what kind of results the TEs will give me.

The page I am testing is the sales page of James Al-Oboudi's TWR Power System, which is in pre-launch phase at the moment. Here is the link I am testing:

http://grasp-the-nettle.com/htmlredir.html

I like to pass as much traffic through my own website as possible, which is what the above link does, while at the same time cloaking the affiliate link.

Typically, sales pages do not pull in good results on the TEs, which is why squeeze pages are so popular on the exchanges. A squeeze page is a very basic web page with a short sharp message that teases or tempts the surfer to fill in a form or click a button to find out more. Nowadays a lot of these pages have video or audio embedded and preset to start automatically when the page is downloaded.

On the main sales page for TWR Power System, you get a video of James Al-Oboudi, a lot of big print sales copy and a big red "free lock-in" button.

I'm tracking the hits I'm getting from the TEs. The service I am using to track the hits is HitsConnect, which tracks every single hit back to the source. The results have been very revealing not only about the pulling power of the main sales page but also into the varying ratios of hits-to-unique-hits that each TE delivers.

With HitsConnect you can also discover which hits led to sales IF you post a snippet of code on your "thank you page". Unfortunately, because this is an affiliate promotion and not a promotion of my own product I have been unable to do that on this occasion.

Even so, this test clearly demonstrates the value of using a professional tracking service such as HitsConnect.



Here are the results after a few days of exposure on several TEs:

Hits = Tot/Unq

easyh4uban = 1/1

easyhits4u = 502/413

goneclick = 262/35

hit2hit = 349/268

hitboopro = 132/118

hitboosban = 1/1

lotsmorhts = 2/2

maxtrafpro = 227/140

maxtrprban = 1/1

s4t = 274/205

traffwitch = 205/136

trafshodwn = 345/106

trafsplash = 297/256

trafsplban = 1/1

If you are familiar with the TEs it won't be difficult to work out which ones I've been tracking. The suffix "ban" refers to links to banner ads like this one:



What I have gleaned from these figures is this:

Top traffic exchanges such as EasyHits4u.com really do delivery a higher rate of unique hits (and much more quickly) than lower ranking TEs such as GoneClicking.com, which delivered just 35 unique hits in 262 views of the page. (EasyHits4u.com is the #1 ranking TE by a long way on Affiliate Funnel.)

When I saw how quickly EH4U was going through my credits I realized that it was one of the more important ones to keep topped up with manual clicking when I'm taking a break from more mentally taxing jobs.

Overall I am getting an average of around one unique hit for every two showings of the page, and ONE sign-up per 750 unique views. Hardly impressive, BUT this is NOT the ideal traffic exchange strategy; I am effectively funneling a bunch of cold prospects to the sales page and giving them 6-10 seconds to buy.

The 5 Lessons A Millionaire Taught Me


The Five Lessons A Millionaire Taught Me About Life And Wealth, by Richard Paul Evans, is a short book that you could easily polish off in an afternoon. But don't just read it once and lay it aside. Read it several times, digest the message, apply it to your own life and integrate it into your wealth-building strategy.


If you don't have a wealth-building strategy, then this book offers you a fast route to acquiring one.

As Richard Paul Evans says in the Preface,
The Five Lessons contained in this book, if followed, will lead to wealth and financial independence.

The beauty of this book is that it is enjoyable to read and easy to understand. The lessons can be applied immediately.




When Evans was twelve his father was incapacitated in an industrial accident. During that difficult time Evans attended a talk for local youth given by a self-made millionaire who pointed out that in the parable of the Good Samaritan,
"The Samaritan was able to help because he had the financial means to do so. Without it he could only have offered minor assistance."
It was this talk that set Evans on a new path, and it is to that self-made millionaire, Kerry Heinz, that the book is dedicated.

So, what are the five lessons?

They are:


  1. Decide to be wealthy.


  2. Take responsibility for your money.


  3. Keep a portion of everything you earn.


  4. Win in the margins.


  5. Give back.
