Website layout for Web 2.0 Marketing

I've had a ton of feedback from Group Members wanting to know more about site layout, so I decided to put all this in a PDF report and send it out.

Typically it worked out to be much longer than initially anticipated. It was originally going to be a quick list of things to do, but it turned out to be 14 pages long with a real life example included.

I even designed a site for this specially, so you could all refer to screen shots with the notes included in the actual site pages.

This is being sent out as I type this, so you should all receive it shortly.

It's not meant to be a definitive study on website design - it's a simple layout that works and provides the most bang for your buck when it comes to Web 2.0 marketing and using Web 2.0 properties to promote your sites.

A Tale of Opinions and Options

Mostly positive feed-back on "Uncover Your Niche" so many thanks to all who sent me their feed-back.

Some varying opinions and how and why for each option in the blueprint, but everybody is entitled to their opinion.

I know some of the options in the blueprint might seem a bit long winded and time consuming, but it all boils down to what you want to achieve with your network of sites.

• Short term sales - no stickiness: Go with Option 1
• Long term income building - long term stickiness: Go with Option 4

Sort of in the middle???
Check Options 2 and 3.

Your network of free sites will mature into a long term investment if you treat them right and do the extra work in Option 4, but it's a potentially mighty big return for what amounts to a couple of extra hours of work per run.

Try to get your sites as unique as possible. Keep them all alive and kicking and they will add to your internet real estate and your bottom line.

Once your sites are live and working for you, try to keep them fresh, even if it's only a question of a quick post every other week. Even if you have to manually log-in to your sites and add a post (only option for the time being), like that well known sports company says:

"Just Do It"

The rewards are kind of nice...

Thanks

PDF Has been sent... FINALLY

Took a bit longer than I had initially planned, but once I got into compiling the PDF for the Group I figured I'd do something along the "how to" lines and not only the "why".

It eventually ran to over 20 pages, including a simple blueprint to follow.

Some comments I've had so far include "Andrew, thanks this is simple" and "Andrew, this is simple dude"...

Common thread there seems to be the simple bit.

Well, I've got some news for you all: "It is simple"

No matter how techie or complicated you make it sound, Niche marketing boils down to doing some simple things a whole load of times. Simple...

Have a look at "Uncover Your Niche" and make sure to get any and all questions back to me.

From here on in it's working on the simple stuff.

Thanks

Delivery Issues or Why I don't have Autoresponder Messages

A few members of the group have been commenting about not receiving the back issues of the newsletters. Simple reason for this is I haven't done a series of autoresponder messages for these newsletters.

I wanted to be able to address specific issues people were having, so a series of pre-written messages or newsletters would have defeated that objective.

I'm currently compiling all the back issues into a PDF which will be sent to all group members, Some of you will already have most of the information in the PDF - apologies if this is the case, but it's the easiest way for me to be sure we are all on the same page.

The PDF will include the past issues and the latest issue.

Many thanks

My Thoughts for the Future or Why You Won't find any Affiliate Links Here

Brute Force has launched to hugely positive feed-back from users. Yes, the software has some bugs which need fixing, yes there are some issues for some users.

Pete and his support team are working flat out to fix all these and I have no doubt all will soon be resolved.

The sheer number of users who signed up must be taking a toll on the system I feel. The software is solid and I'm 100% sure Pete will iron out all the wrinkles.

Not an unusual turn of events. How long has Windows been around as an operating system and how may bugs does that still have ?

Brute Force is good. Enough said on that one.

You might have noticed that this blog is now minus any affiliate links to Brute Force. The reason is simple. I won't be presenting anymore affiliate links to the product.

Why ???

Simple answer. The way the affiliate program is setup is that affiliate links only start to work after the 7 day trial is up. Once the trial is up, affiliate links will work for those spots not already filled. If any of the original 1000 spots are still vacant or any of the original 1000 users drops out, affiliate links kick in for those vacant spots.

Anybody who did try to use my affiliate links, many thanks, but your purchase went into the general system. Rest assured though, I'm still around.

I've decided to remove my affiliate links as:

1. I can make more money using the Brute than promoting it
2. I don't really feel like getting into a scrap over scraps

So how can I help ?

My commitment to offering as much assistance as possible to my subscribers is ongoing. I won't be changing that.

I'm delaying the launch of Shotgun Marketing. Simple reason. Better to address general questions people have about affiliate marketing using Web 2.0 properties and RSS (aka Brute Force). Get to know the product, get a bit more familiar with what you'll be doing - then we can move on to the advanced Shotgun Marketing tactics.

I will be releasing Shotgun Marketing, hopefully by the end of October - beginning November, but this will be a stand-alone product and not part of any bonus offers. Not a prerequisite to being on my subscriber list. Get it or not, all the help I can offer will be open to all.

I will also be increasing the size of the marketing Group to include ALL subscribers to my Brute Force related lists.

It's as easy to send 5 emails as it is to send 1 and as easy to send 10 as it is to send 5.

There might be some of you who prefer not to be on this bigger list. If this is the case, please feel free to use the "unsubscribe" link in the next issue of the newsletter.

Many Thanks

Brute Force is going the change the way internet marketing is done. It's the great leveler and will allow users to promote their sites and start to generate serious income from the internet.

Keyword Research the Brute Force Way

There's probably not much more to explain about Brute Force SEO Software that hasn't been said already. It's clear to me Brute Force SEO is the way forward for "real" marketers. Marketers who make their living from actual sales of actual affiliate products - not the small inner group who make all their money promoting each other's products. It's clear to me and my bank manager seems to agree.

It's helped me HUGELY and if you give it a chance, the Brute is more than willing to help you as well.

So you've had a look at the Brute and seen it's power and potential. But what's the first step in any great marketing promotion ?

Targeting Your Market Segment

When it comes to internet marketing, targeting your market segment means targeting the right keyword phrases

Get it right and you can kick back and count the affiliate checks, Get it wrong and you might as well give Google all your money up front and save yourself some time, effort and frustration.

So how to choose the target market - how to find the right keyword phrases ???

Well, the Brute has you covered there as well.

Pete Drew has added an extra module to the Brute Force package - My Gold Tracker, and believe me, it not only tracks gold - it finds, digs and hands you the gold on a plate.

Here's a quick example of how this great new addition to the Brute Force lineup works:

Think YOU could target a few niches
using My Gold Tracker
and destroy them using the Brute ???

I do it all the time
