<p>After I posted this to my blog, I was getting ready to submit this post to digg.com. Just as I was about to post the submission, I searched the term &#8220;Clearing the Confusion of Internet Marketing&#8221; in Google. Guess what I saw?</p>
<p><center><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="320" height="240" id="viddler_9ab6e450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/9ab6e450/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/9ab6e450/" width="320" height="240" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_9ab6e450"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>Alright, so that was a nice little unexpected treat. But that&#8217;s sort of what I&#8217;m getting at here. Small little actions you learn throughout <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com">the WEST Program</a> can get you big results. By the way, since I posted that&#8230; Google is already sending me traffic to my blog because of that post&#8230; pretty cool.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;d like to clear the confusion of internet marketing either, go through WEST and figure out what works best for you, or if you do not have a membership to <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com">the WEST Program</a>, get one here <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com">www.TheWESTProgram.com</a><!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

Then again, this morning Brent sent another email to me, enhancing upon the original response I had given him.</p>
<p>As I sat this morning, and thought about Brent&#8217;s confusion, I consider that others may be facing the same confusion of Internet marketing and I could possibly clarify what you should focus on and why some things that I do NOW&#8230; are different compared to what you should do at the start of your internet business and what your business model&#8217;s needs are.</p>
<p>Hope this video helps and thank you, Brent, for sending your awesome questions. I know the other WEST students appreciate it as much as I do.</p>

<h2>A Guide for the Liars of Marketing and Sales</h2>
<p><center><strong>&#8220;Bat Guana is Responsible for 2% of the World&#8217;s Methane Poisoning!&#8221;</strong></center></p>
<p>It&#8217;s ironic. </p>
<p>If you were to read that headline in a trashy tabloid or gossip magazine, you wouldn&#8217;t give it a second thought and you&#8217;d be happy with going about your day. Yet, if you were to read that same headline on a newspaper or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales" title="Sales" rel="wikipedia">sales</a> page you&#8217;d give it some thought and perhaps read further.</p>
<p>Is the statement true? I seriously don&#8217;t know, but it isn&#8217;t my job to know that is it? Alright, enough of the cloak and dagger stuff, I&#8217;ll get to my point. If you are a sales or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia">marketing</a> professional there is one solid truth you and the rest of us must live by. Just because we say it&#8217;s so, doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean it&#8217;s true. There has to come a point in time where marketers and sales people hold themselves accountable for the claims they make. Even if those claims reside in a three lined piece of ad copy, you have to back up your facts.</p>
<p>Even the FTC is jumping on board with this. Recently the FTC released ammendments to long existing guidelines about the whole &#8220;results are not typical testimonials.&#8221; It would seem some of the juice, snake oil, pills and potion pushers wereflying a bit to close to restricted airspace with company and corporate testimonials that laid claim to some pretty outrageous results. In today&#8217;s world there are two types of consumer and buyers. On one side, there is the consumer who consumes some, then more, then more and before you know it their credit card bills are more than they make in a year and it&#8217;s your fault they spent money they didn&#8217;t have.</p>
<p>Some could say that statement is from a marketer so it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean it is true. You&#8217;d be right. But, the marketing industry has tested time and again that most consumers are not aware of all the purchases they have made over a twelve month time period. Further, most consumers do not understand what they are purchasing or, don&#8217;t even understand it after they have purchased it. I can take this even further to state my own research has shown that nearly ninety percent of consumers facing buyer&#8217;s remorse will not even ask for a refund or return a product because they believe it will be too much of a hassle or cost them more in the long run.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s sad the sales and marketing industries have become professions where a lie is more common than the whole truth. Imagine this, if for just a moment:</p>
<p>You are a professional author who has just met a team of scientists who have discovered a cure for cancer. You ask the scientists for permission to write about their discovery with the hopes more agencies will help fund their discovery and testing. You write your book, it gets picked up by a publisher and the publisher asks for results based testimonials. You&#8217;re stuck. You have nothing to present this publisher with since the discovery is barely out of the testing phase. You are attempting to sell an idea or product without backing up what it will do for the end user.</p>
<p>In another scenario, all the above applies except for the fact you have scientific data and research that shows what the scientists&#8217; testing has discovered and what their projected progress could be if they had the proper funding. This allows for an educated decision to be made by your publisher and investors. </p>
<p>In both scenarios, there was a passion surrounding an idea or &#8220;product&#8221;. In the first scenario, the author (or marketer) was providing no substantial proof of the benefits of such an idea or product.</p>
<p>In the second scenario, were testimonials provided? Did the author have statements from human test subjects that sold results or miraculous cases of cancer being cured? No, in both cases no user or results based testimonial was utilized or needed. Although, in the second scenario, the author presented data and projection which could allow the end reader to come to a specific conclusion. This is called pre-supposition and it allows our consumers or audience to come to their own conclusions based upon FACTS we as sales people and marketers may present to them. No smoke and mirrors, no hyped up sales claims or testimonials; they simply have the facts and benefit information of the products or services you are selling.</p>
<p>Imagine, a world of marketing and sales where the consumer is savvy to marketing and sales tactics. Oh&#8230; they already are savvy you say? Imagine a world where marketers are too reliant on results based testimonials instead of facts and benefits of a product that can be proven. Really, marketers and sales people are already too reliant on hyped up claims and testimonials?</p>
<p>Imagine this for a moment. What if buyers could come into a sales or marketing situation and be presented with the solution they are looking for? What if they could learn what all the benefits are that your product has to offer while still learning how much it is going to cost them, how much it will save them compared to your competition and what level of a solution it will provide? In this scenario, you could weed out buyer&#8217;s remorse. With these elements laid in place, you would no longer need worry or rely on results based testimonials. With the straight honest truth without the hyped claims, you&#8217;d have to rely on your product or services own merits and value.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my final question for you. Could you do this for your market place or, does your product need the hyped up claims?</p>
<p>Would you like to learn the honest way of doing business in marketing and sales without all of the hyped up tactics but instead achieve bigger results by being honest? <a href="http://www.thewestprogram.com">Click Here</a></p>

targeted list of customers.</p>

<h1>Best Internet Marketing Training Advice</h1>
<p>.<br />
Many of us so called &#8220;high profile&#8221; internet marketers keep receiving emails and calls asking what is the best internet marketing training and could they get some advice on where to look for the top information.It&#8217;s actually pretty simple and fairly complex at the same time. Truthfully, the best internet marketing training is the hands on training. The best internet marketing advice I can give you is stop learning for a while, pull out one of those overpriced ebooks you purchased and start implementing the strategies in it until you master them.There&#8217;s way too many new internet entrepreneurs trying every strategy they can get their hands on, all at once. This isn&#8217;t how the game works folks. To get the best internet marketing skills, experience and training you must first make a consceous decision to make a plan of action. So, within this article I am going to give you the most detailed plan I can without overloading your mind with useless information.</p>
<p>Here goes!</p>
<h2>Step One: Find a hungry, desperate market and the solution they are looking for.</h2>
<p>This one is pretty simple and some of the best internet marketing training I can possibly give you. Go to a site like ClickBank, enter a keyword in their market place and see what&#8217;s on the top twenty list. There&#8217;s over seventeen thousand products in clickBank, you&#8217;re not going to run out of options.</p>
<p>Then, grab the main url for each of your competitors. Go to alexa.com or quantcast.com and enter the url of each of your competitors, one by one. Once you find out which sites their visitors also visit, look for the blogs and forums in that niche.</p>
<h3>Hint: You can also search Google for forums by entering the main niche keyword of your market with the word &#8220;forum&#8221; next to it.</h3>
<p>Why are we going through this long process. Well, folks, this is business and not a hobby. If you want the best internet marketing training and profits, then you gotta do a little bit of leg work and get your feet wet. Next, after you find out where your market is hanging out, go and listen in on the conversations they are having. Look for questions that are being asked and make a note of the questions, as well as, the answers that others are leaving.</p>
<p>After you have made a note of this information, simply ask some questions of your own. I always say there are ten questions your market is asking and there are ten questions they should be asking. Ask questions, respond to other peoples&#8217; questions with an answer of your own. Spend a week or two being a contributor and participant. This is, by far, some of the best interactive internet marketing training you will get, not to mention the awesome research you are going to get.</p>
<p>To top all this off (place cherry on top and continue) you can go to Google Groups and Yahoo Answers and find others in your market place asking and answering questions.</p>
<h4>Important Note: Do not sell anything in forums or groups, you are simply participating and doing a bit of covert marketing research&#8230; k?</h4>
<p>Moving on. Now that you know your niche has a need and are hungry for a solution, it&#8217;s time to do a bit of keyword research. Remember that list of competitors&#8217; URLs you gathered earlier? Well, go to their website and in the top of your Fire Fox Browser (yes, the only browser a marketer should be using) click the &#8220;view tab&#8221;. Then, click Page Source.</p>
<p>Take a look at your competitors&#8217; HTML code and at the top next to meta keywords, copy all of the keywords and paste them in a notepad document or spread sheet. Do this for all of your competitor sites. Then, search each of those keywords in the Google Keyword Tool. You are looking for words that have over 2,000 monthly searches. Then, after you have narrowed your list down, type each of those keywords in the Google search engine. You want these to be between 0-35,000 &#8230; no higher than 500,000 search results.</p>
<p>I bet you thought I was going to tell you to go after the search results with over a million listings? BZZZZ&#8230; those keywords are too broad. you can sprinkle them throughout your content, but not too much.</p>
<p>Now that you know what your market wants and what they are talking about, you know who your competitors are and what keywords they use and you know what keywords are the best to use, group your keywords in pairs.</p>
<h5>Make a long list of two keyword phrases. Write a piece of content around each of the pairs of keyword phrases.</h5>
<p>You do not have to do this all in one day, but might I make a suggestion? Thanks&#8230; I appreaciate it!</p>
<p>Write a one thousand word article and be sure that your two keywords show up in the title, description and throughout 5% of the body content.</p>
<p>Then, write a blog post for each section of your article (if you have 5 sub sections then you will want 5 blog posts). Be sure each of the blog post titles and subtitles contain your two keywords and your keywords show up throughout 5% of the post. 200-500 words on each of these should work.</p>
<p>Next, record a video for each of your blog posts and I&#8217;d suggest using Audacity to record audios simultaneously. That way, you will have keyword opimized video content for the video sharing sites and the same for your audios for podcasting submissions.</p>
<p>Then, rinse and repeat this process until you run out of keywords. Be sure to submit your articles at a fantastic place like Ezine articles and make sure it is quality, unique content.</p>
<p>Each day, submit one blog post, bookmark it and ping it. Then, each day submit one video, bookmark it and ping it. Then, each day submit one podcast, bookmark and ping that as well. Through this method, you have a constant stream of content that you can link back to your blog and get people to sign up on your newsletter.</p>
<p>Always make sure your newsletter sign up form redirects to a &#8220;Oh by the way&#8221; product sales page. Introduce people to a product early on in the process. Then, while sending emails to your subscribers about all of your content (every few days) you can also mention good products and services that will help them find the solution they have been looking for.</p>
<p>This, my inter-web entrepreneurial friend, IS the best internet marketing training advice you are going to find. Feel free to send people on over to this article to spread the love.</p>

<h1>Duplicate Content on the Internet</h1>
<p>I get a lot of questions asking about issues with getting the Google Slap for <a class="zem_slink" title="Duplicate content" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplicate_content">duplicate content</a>. Look, if you&#8217;d like to be sure that your content is completely original, then pay close attention to how I show you how to have a conversation with yourself to be sure that you are not posting duplicate content on your site.</p>
<h2>Step 1: Defining What is Duplicate Content?</h2>
<p><span class="zem_olink">Duplicate content is content that is exactly identical to content that can be found on another web page, whether it is on your web pages or somebody else&#8217;s web pages.</span></p>
<p>Also, duplicate content can be found within the template of your site. Here&#8217;s what I mean. If you have text links, anchor text or, alternative text in images on the template of your site then you must be sure that you have at least 35 more keywords within your body content of your site. We want to make sure you have more unique content on your page than you have within the template of your site.</p>
<p>Think about this: Site A has three paragraphs of text on the body of their home page. Also, within the template of their site, they have 20 keywords within all of the navigation and links and such. That same page sticks to a 5% keyword density on the body content, meaning if there is 500 words in the body, 5% of those words are keywords. So, then we find that page on the first page of Google one day and the following day it is gone.</p>
<p>What happened? Why did this page get removed? More than likely, it&#8217;s because there are more keywords or words in general within the template, that Google says, &#8220;These 20 words that you have on this template shows up on every page of your site, therefore, your site is scattered with duplicate content.</p>
<p>Now we move on to site B. Site B also has 20 keywords throughout the template, but the body content on their home page has 1500 words and a 5% keyword density. Now, there is more unique body content to overpower the content that is within the template. Realisticly, if you were to add three or four new paragraphs of original content to each of your site pages, there is a good chance that you will rank higher in the search results.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s move on to our next step.</p>
<h3>Having a Conversation to Promote Unique Web Page Content</h3>
<p>Nine times out of ten, I will guarantee you that the conversation I have with one of my friends is going to be 100% unique compared to the conversation that YOU have with your friends. Why? Simply because I am different than you and you are different than me. We have different thoughts, we have different ideas and we talk about different topics. So, imagine if I took my conversation and turned it into a blog post. Let&#8217;s imagine that a 20 minute conversation turned out to have over 30 thousand words.</p>
<p>I could take that hypothetically transcribed conversation and break those 30 thousand words down into 20 unique 1500 hundred word articles or blog posts. Isn&#8217;t it safe to assume that no other person in my industry will have a post identicle to mine? Of course it is! So, when you are writing your content, I suggest creating a mock conversation. Here&#8217;s how it works.</p>
<h4>Designing Unique Content that is Accepted by the Search Engines</h4>
<p>First, lets pretend that we have friends, even though we are closet computer geeks that sit around writing articles about how to keep from writing and posting duplicate content. Let&#8217;s, for a moment, pretend that our friend Roy has come to us and asked, &#8220;How can I get my blog to generate more traffic?&#8221; Well, many of us can give Roy quite a few tips, so I want to play this conversation out in my head. Without stating Roy&#8217;s name, I want to answer some questions that I believe Roy would ask and throughout my article I am going to answer these questions. Here&#8217;s an example of my conversation with &#8220;Roy&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong> What plug-ins do you have in your blog?</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what plugins are and I&#8217;m not really certain that I have any. Well, then you should probably consider getting, at least, an All In One <a class="zem_slink" title="Search engine optimization" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization">SEO</a> Plugin, a Sociable Plug-in, the Max Blog Press Plug-in and a Viral Tweets Plugin. That would be a great start and it would certainly begin to help with on site SEO and social media traffic.</p>
<p><strong> How many videos have you created and submitted to the video sharing networks?</strong></p>
<p>Videos? I don&#8217;t even know how to record a video. Well, this is simple. Do you have a webcam? Yes. Alright, fire up your logitech and record ten videos that are about 2-4 minutes long. Do a bit of keyword research and create titles, descriptions and keyword tags for each video. Then, be sure that your keywords are included in your title and description and submit those videos to all of the video sharing sites. Then, post each of the videos you submitted to You Tube to your blog, one post a day. Be sure to write a descriptive blog post about that video and include that video&#8217;s keywords in your blog post and label them in your All In One SEO Plug in before you publish your post.</p>
<p>Now, go back to You Tube and edit your video description to include the link back to the relevant blog post. Now, you have web 2.0 viral video marketing in place as well as, quality, relevant content to generate more traffic and search engine listings. Pretty simple right?</p>
<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s real simple&#8230; I know I can do that all day long!</p>
<h5>Master Uinque Content Generation with Conversation</h5>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a great writer to develop unique content on a regular basis, how long were you reading the above text before you forgot that I was speaking to my buddy Roy? By typing a conversation as if your are talking to and asking questions of a reader and then answering those questions for them, you have a nice fluid, conversational post that is sure to be read by all of your traffic.As well, you have a site filled with unique content and the search engines will place you in the rankings of the content generation kings. The method above works extremely well for blogs, hub pages and squidoo lenses&#8230; but you can also fine tune that method to write content for your websites.</p>
<p>I truly do hope that this article has helped you skip past the realm of duplicate content and that you can see that anyone can beat duplicate content&#8230; as long as you can keep it original.</p>

<br />
Fun isn&#8217;t it? The title I mean. I&#8217;ve been having a lot of fun watching some<br />
of the cartoon characters of the marketing world. They&#8217;ve been running around,<br />
having fun, just being a bunch of guys who can kick back and kill some time.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, you spend your money on their products, you could use some of<br />
their personal attention, but they&#8217;re a bit too busy for you after you spend a few<br />
grand. How&#8217;s that make you feel?<br />
<br />
I get it. I was under this ridiculous assumption that maybe if I purchased<br />
some of their courses, that would somehow get me on the inside of the “Rat<br />
Pack”. Remember them, the real Rat Pack? I&#8217;m kinda young but I think it was<br />
Sammy Davis Jr. , <a class="zem_slink" title="Dean Martin" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001509/">Dean Martin</a> and Frank Sinatra. There may have been one<br />
more, but you can just take a look at the characters of today&#8217;s marketing and see<br />
the same group of the IN (NO not the I.M.) crowd and see that same untouchable<br />
band of brothers.<br />
<br />
Funny how marketers utilize the instance of <a class="zem_slink" title="Celebrity" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity">celebrity</a> to excel them into the<br />
self-proclaimed guru position. It&#8217;s an awesome tactic, but a lot of work and a big<br />
headache. See, with every celebrity comes the Poporazi. You know, the ones<br />
running around taking pictures at the most inopportune times. Sometimes, they<br />
are telling stories that were shared in the strictest of confidence, only to be sold<br />
to the highest bidder by that celebrities closest friend.<br />
<br />
I don&#8217;t necessarily like those folks, but it seems as if we could almost do the<br />
same. Think about it. What if there were a certain marketing guy who chases<br />
butterflies or something, and one day he had a picture that looked like the before<br />
photo from the hair club for men and the next thing you know, he&#8217;s dressing like<br />
a jock and has a full head of hair&#8230; hmm.<br />
<br />
Nobody seems to talk about that stuff, or even how that method of<br />
marketing that he uses is simply the chaos theory&#8230; and not well written at that.<br />
Then you could have this beach bum guy, who was about 80lbs lighter a few<br />
years back and got into a little trouble with the law; I wonder if people realize<br />
that his marketing tactics are simply a poor attempt at NLP, or Black Ops<br />
Hypnosis&#8230; hey wait, didn&#8217;t some guy with a “Star” in his name write that<br />
course&#8230; he sure does sound an awful lot like the cousin of the beach bum&#8230; I<br />
guess you have to be in the Rat Pack to know who I&#8217;m talking about.<br />
But Wait&#8230; I&#8217;m Not in the Circle&#8230;<br />
<br />
How Could I Possibly Know This?<br />
<br />
Alright, that&#8217;s enough of my ranting. I&#8217;m going to stop with the literary ramblings and<br />
innuendos of something fishy going on in the marketing world and get down to<br />
strategy.<br />
<br />
When I first came online, I was simply looking for a quick way to get my family off<br />
Welfare. I wanted to work less with my body and more with my mind. It wasn&#8217;t easy<br />
laboring in the winter time, chopping wood every day just to keep warm and I needed<br />
a break&#8230; or my body was going to break.<br />
<br />
So, I began to study all of these great marketers. No, not the cartoon ones. They<br />
were pretty easy to figure out. They made broad stroke attempts at leveraging<br />
peoples&#8217; passions to market them, but their methods were a bit sloppy and crude.<br />
That&#8217;s not to say they weren&#8217;t great at what they did, but when you are in the game<br />
as long as these guys, you tend to mirror the superstar of your industry.<br />
<br />
I remember a line from a <a class="zem_slink" title="Bill Murray" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/">Bill Murray</a> movie, “Groundhog&#8217;s Day”. Bill said, “Maybe God<br />
isn&#8217;t all powerful, maybe he&#8217;s just been around for so long that he knows a lot!”<br />
I&#8217;m in no way implying that marketers are gods, but they are celebrity to their own<br />
industry. I chose to study Jay Abraham, Brian Tracy, Chet Holmes and a few of the<br />
other greats. Reason is, that&#8217;s who most of the cartoon guys today had study and<br />
these were the guys who invented raw marketing and direct sales when it was in it&#8217;s<br />
straight tie, smoke filled office, vodka in the middle of the day era.<br />
<br />
You know, like “Mad Men”, advertising and marketing guys were the magical money<br />
getters of their era and it is amazing how they have gone from a group of class, to a<br />
group of ass&#8230; that&#8217;s cute, I wasn&#8217;t planning on typing that but it really flowed.<br />
So the question begs, “How do you create celebrity status in the marketing world?”<br />
Well, I don&#8217;t think you have to, but there is a way you can leverage “Celebrity” that is<br />
much easier if you&#8217;d like to give it a shot.<br />
<br />
I&#8217;m not sure, exactly, how this is going to turn out typed on this document, but by the<br />
time I&#8217;m done here, I am going to show you how to leverage traffic that already exists<br />
in order to generate some extra dineros for your family.<br />
<br />
Take this into account: In no way am I saying this marketing method is for everyone<br />
and in no way am I saying that it will work for those who do not follow all of the<br />
steps. I am saying, however, that if you can get creative and focus on the goal at<br />
hand&#8230; big bucks in little pockets, then you could probably have a lot of fun doing this<br />
and you won&#8217;t be facing any competition.<br />
<br />
Here Goes!<br />
<br />
Cash in On Celeb Fame<br />
<br />
For a while now, I&#8217;ve been testing a fun little project. I will not tell you the name of<br />
the celebrity that I am using for this test, simply because I do not want your<br />
competition and it is doing very well for me.<br />
<br />
Basically, I&#8217;ve chosen a name of one of the most controversial, hottest celebs of all thetabloids out there and decided to make a blog around him. Then, I registered a domain name that is a bit something like this [ www.YOURCELEBNAMESUCKS.com ]<br />
<br />
I know, it seems crude, but you&#8217;d be surprised. For every celebrity that people love<br />
and there is a huge following for, there are plenty of folks out there that love to dish<br />
and make fun of them as well. There&#8217;s a trick to this though.<br />
<br />
You gotta chose a celebrity that has both types of fans. Yes, even those who hate<br />
them are truly fans, just of a different nature. But, you want to be sure that this is a<br />
celebrity that you actually like, that way you don&#8217;t get tired of writing about them.<br />
Next, search your domain name in the search engines like this:<br />
<br />
YOUR CELEB NAME SUCKS<br />
<br />
Don&#8217;t use all caps like I just did, but you get it I&#8217;m sure. Then, open each of the<br />
listings you find in Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and whatever favorite search engine you<br />
can find.<br />
<br />
Copy and paste the URLs [website addresses] into a notepad document and save<br />
them for later. These are going to be great sources of content. Next, install a word<br />
press blog onto your own hosting account. If you&#8217;re not sure how to do this, simply go<br />
to www.WordPress.org and learn how&#8230; it&#8217;s not rocket science.<br />
<br />
Next, go to www.Google.com and type in the search phrase:<br />
<br />
YOUR CELEB NAME MOVIES<br />
<br />
See if you can&#8217;t find some movie sites that have affiliate programs attached to them.<br />
Remember, Amazon has become pretty popular in the movie department and people<br />
can download the movie they purchase directly to their computer and begin to watch<br />
immediately (that type of instant gratification can be very appealing)<br />
<br />
Once you have some affiliate links to your celeb movies, go back to your links that you<br />
saved on your note pad document and begin to take notes on the many different<br />
articles out there. Mixed with your positive opinion of the celeb, write a review of why<br />
some people may think your celeb sucks and counter with the positive.<br />
<br />
To reinforce this positive, at the end of each post, send people to your email sign up<br />
form&#8230; whoops, go to www.Aweber.com and get an auto responder for about $19 per<br />
month.<br />
<br />
Then, as you write your review blog posts you can simply send out broadcasts on the<br />
review and be sure to place your affiliate links to your celebrity&#8217;s movie underneath<br />
the post&#8230; sort of a positive reinforcement back up to your post, getting your reader<br />
involved in watching one of their films.<br />
<br />
The best part is, when they buy that film from Amazon, you get paid!<br />
<br />
Nice right? Here&#8217;s the coolest part. You never run out of content about famous celebs<br />
and most of the time you don&#8217;t have to create your own. You can grab a You Tube<br />
video and embed it on your blog post</p>
<p>{There are plenty of tutorials out there to show you how}<br />
<br />
Then, you write a review of the movie trailer or whatever celeb clip you got, just<br />
beneath that video on your blog. Be sure to also start a link section on the side of<br />
your blog.<br />
<br />
You will want to go to www.HubPages.com, www.Squidoo.com, www.GoogleKnol.com<br />
and many other content sites and write and post even more content. On these sites,<br />
you really want to get people back to your blog.<br />
<br />
OK&#8230; the big question that comes up on the rare occasion that I teach this. “Why<br />
should you pick such a negative domain name about the celebrity?”<br />
<br />
Simple&#8230; negative headlines sell, the same usually holds true for a negative subject<br />
line in an email to get better open rates, a negative title on a blog post or video as<br />
well as, a negative domain name, which is typically the headline of your browser <img src='http://thewestprogram.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Slick right? I think it is and through the testing I&#8217;ve done on this, with a couple of<br />
partners that I lock in my basement, I&#8217;ve found that the influx of traffic, the open<br />
rates of emails and the willingness to purchase the movies on Amazon, are some of<br />
the best sales and subscriber conversions I&#8217;ve ever received.<br />
<br />
All this without creating your own product, you can write or record about someone<br />
you don&#8217;t mind talking about. You&#8217;ll virtually never run out of content, which means<br />
you will be able to post new content every day, thereby giving you new search engine<br />
listings and all while only having an auto responder, a hosting account and a domain<br />
name to pay for.<br />
<br />
Domain and Hosting Account: www.HostGator.com<br />
<br />
Auto responder: www.Aweber.com<br />
<br />
You&#8217;re looking at about $28 a month or less.<br />
<br />
One you get one site up and successful, talking about one celeb and you start seeing<br />
a profit, continue posting on that one with new content everyday and start an<br />
additional one.<br />
<br />
You will only want to start one of these at a time, that way you can see what is<br />
working for you, fine tune it and hone your skills a bit.<br />
<br />
I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this month&#8217;s WEST Newsletter and I do hope you can join us<br />
for our newly enhanced World Entrepreneur Success Training Program. We actually<br />

I hope you enjoyed this Celeb Infiltration Tactic. If I see any of the Gurus using this<br />
one, I&#8217;ll know that they stole it from me, because I created it in my mastermind group<br />
6 weeks before I wrote this <img src='http://thewestprogram.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

You likely won&#8217;t see an email from me in the future and there definitely won&#8217;t be anymore free rides and I&#8217;ll explain what that means in a moment.</p>
<p>So, what could make an internet mentor, someone who truly cares about the success of others throw in the towel? Simply put, lack of perceived value and no regard for other peoples&#8217; commitments to you. Now, this isn&#8217;t necessarily directed toward YOU, but it is directed toward those who are more concerned about their own personal gain than they are with respecting the time and effort that others have contributed to them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve goofed a few times in my internet career. Not finishing clients&#8217; projects on time has been an issue, doing to much to offer more to my subscribers while spending less time with my family and not cutting people off when they were becoming bottom feeders and wasting my time, just to try to find that &#8220;magic bullet&#8221; that would make money gush out of their computers.</p>
<p>Recently, one of my students said that they were losing faith in me. Hmmm. I was told that I wasn&#8217;t teaching enough. I was told what I needed to do and what they expected. I&#8217;ve been hit with a few demands and consistently work on fulfilling my commitments. Sometimes though, I wonder if people from the other end are looking at the commitments they are getting from me.</p>
<p>Take for example. From January of 2008 to July of 2009, I&#8217;ve released over 200 hours of free video lessons that gave enough content to make a homeless man rich. I&#8217;ve written close to 1300 hundred articles teaching even more and I&#8217;ve broadcasted <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentorship" title="Mentorship" rel="wikipedia">mentoring</a> sessions live, my live radio show coaching and had one on one mentoring sessions, all for free, for the past 2 years that range up to 700 hours.</p>
<p>I have written close to 1600 blog posts coaching people in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_development" title="Personal development" rel="wikipedia">personal development</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_marketing" title="Internet marketing" rel="wikipedia">internet marketing</a> and many other topics with the hopes at helping others to enhance their quality of life. During that time, I&#8217;ve been asked to give people scholarships into my high end <a href="http://http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">coaching programs</a>, give discounts, make payment arragements, give products away for free or to just spend my TIME for free with them with no regards of what effect that would have on my business, my time or my family.</p>
<p>Effective immediately. No more free rides, no more discounts and absolutely no more of ME allowing others to waste my time. I am focusing my time on my <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">World Entrepreneur Success Training Program</a>, <a href="http://www.ewebmarketingmanagement.com">eWebMarketingManagement.com</a> and my clients&#8217; projects. I will continue with my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niche_market" title="Niche market" rel="wikipedia">niche marketing</a> and will not allow myself to attach to my subscribers. I made a promise to myself, back in early 2007 that when I found the way to succeed online that, I would teach others to do the same&#8230; until people began to take advantage of that kindness and began to not hold themselves accountable for their own success.</p>
<p>That time has come and I am currently clicking on the delete button on my mailing list.</p>
<p>My <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">WEST</a> students will only receive <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">WEST</a> updates from my support responder and&nbsp; any new subscribers can expect regular product promotions from me that will provide them with solutions. Here&#8217;s the thing, I don&#8217;t sit here and type away on a computer all day and record videos, spend hours in post production and send out countless pieces of unique, quality content for my health. I&#8217;m in business to succeed and provide CUSTOMERS with value. Not to give away that which is precious to me&#8230; i.e. my time and my products.</p>
<p>Anyone who can respect that , feel free to enroll in <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">the WEST program</a> at <a href="http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html">http://www.TheWESTProgram.com/west.html</a></p>
<p>If this offends anyone, I&#8217;m not sorry&#8230; I&#8217;m glad that I&#8217;ve been able to helps so many people and that they continue to contact me and tell me about the amazing results and benefits that they gain from what I have taught them.</p>
<p>By the way, below you will see one last internet marketing lesson video from me. It&#8217;s 64 minutes of solid content about <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization" title="Search engine optimization" rel="wikipedia">SEO</a>. Recently someone told me that I didn&#8217;t teach an SEO section in the WEST program. Well, I did&#8230; but it would take for someone to understand that SEO is literally EVERYTHING that you do online&#8230; and those who spend their time JUST teaching SEO is WASTING YOUR TIME!</p>
<p>I hope this and the many other pieces of content I have on the internet are helpful to you and I truly feel sorry for those who chose to ignore the email that I sent about this post&#8230; because that is the last email they will receive from me.</p>
<p>Take care and good luck in all that you set out to accomplish. I wish you all the best and that you continue to grow. For those of you who wish to become successful online but don&#8217;t want to do any work, who doesn&#8217;t want to implement strategies and pay for marketing material or advertising&#8230; there&#8217;s an easy way to remedy that problem&#8230; log off the internet and don&#8217;t open another internet marketing course ever again.</p>
<p>Of course you could waste your time with adsense and writing articles for pennies and dollars if you&#8217;d like&#8230; it&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

<h2><a class="zem_slink" title="Behavioral targeting" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_targeting">Behavioral Targeting</a> : Tracking the Traffic Swarm</h2>
<p>Not long ago, I wrote a paper and submitted it to a local university, here in Pittsburgh; about the elements of behavioral targeting of website traffic and internet user behaviors. It was well received in some circles, i.e. the marketing professionals, but was met by hefty criticism in the the reader and consumer circles.</p>
<h3>Many believe that behavioral targeted research is an invasion of privacy.</h3>
<p>Consumers and searchers alike do not like to feel that their every step is being monitored while they are simply entertaining themselves. The fact is, you are always being monitored.</p>
<p>When you do a search on Google.com, to find your favorite topic or to learn how to do something, Google&#8217;s mega servers are tracking your every move from that point on. Do you have an online email account with Aol, MSN, Yahoo, or even Google? Well, do you think they just like giving stuff away for free? No, they make money through advertising and providing their clients with up to the minute demographic market research, in order to offer the user a better experience and their clients a bigger bank account.</p>
<p>Where many people believe that it&#8217;s the &#8220;Big Dawgs&#8221; of the internet that are doing most of this type of research, it&#8217;s really not. When you call 411 or directory assistance on your telephone, guess what? Your usage of your phone is being documented and tracked. When a telemarketer calls your home and your answering machine picks up, that&#8217;s being tracked down to the minute.</p>
<h3>When a human being actually picks up the phone and says &#8220;Hello?&#8217;, that&#8217;s being tracked.</h3>
<p>When you are watching your favorite baseball game on television, your favorite drama or sitcom, or even the local news, guess what? You guessed it, it&#8217;s all being tracked.</p>
<p>Have you ever walked into a grocery store during the beginning of the summer months and notice that all of the charcoal, bar-b-que grills and hotdogs are all in the same area, as if they put it right in front of you? Guess what, that&#8217;s one of the oldest results of stats from behavioral targeting of consumer habits.</p>
<h4>You really can&#8217;t get away from it.</h4>
<p>Whether it is the time of day and what you Tweet about on Twitter.com. down to the fun and free applications that you and your friends use when you are playing Mafia Wars on FaceBook.com. it&#8217;s all being tracked and compiled into databases to give marketers and companies a better idea of what their potential buyers are looking for.</p>
<p>So, the next time you download an mp3, buy a book on Amazon.com or post a video to YouTube.com. know that you are being watched and the elements of behavioral targeting of your habits online are being tracked. By the way, did you know tracking traffic on your websites is a form of behavioral targeting? Yep, there are free tools that you can use on a continuous basis that will do all of the research work for you.</p>
<p>In a two day online workshop online, on July 18th and 19th at 1pm EST, SEO Phenom Paul Counts and myself will not only be teaching how to explode your traffic, but how to see exactly where it is all coming from, how YOU can position yourself to get in front of your targeted traffic and how you can successfully monitor the behavior of your potential buyers. Behavioral Targeting can be your gripe&#8230; or your leverage&#8230; you chose. <a href="http://www.bobyeageronline.com/traffictantrumspecialoffer.html">Click Here for More</a></p>
