Is Google is DEAD For Affiliates?
I receive emails daily from vendors soliciting me to promote or at least review their products. Unfortunately, that just goes with the territory when you have a face and more so a web site that is well-known in affiliate marketing, especially as it relates to Clickbank.
Believe it or not, I have almost 2 dozen vendors that want me to show off their products at the Earn1KaDay IM Summit Conference in Orlando this month. Sorry, guys and gals, that’s just not going to happen. Nothing personal, and this is not intended to discredit or even just “dis” any of the products or vendors, but things simply don’t work that way.
We are all competing for the attentions of those that we feel can help us along, but there is due process in place (hint: fill out the contact form and be sure to send a download link to test the product- wait 48 hours or so, you know…be patient :>)
In any event, once in a while a product title or byline catches my eye, and I simply have to open the email and see what is being promoted. After all, you never know when you will meet the next Seth Godin in your inbox.
Today’s product is one that claims Google is dead as far as affiliates are concerned, which of course concerns me quite a bit, at least if there is any truth to it.
The product is called “Yahoo Cash For Idiots“, perhaps a little less flattering than I might like this early in the new year, but I had a look at this fellow might be onto something. I have been a long time proponent of avoiding Google Adwords at all costs, even after one of us here attending a few very good workshops on the subject, the most notable being Perry Marshall’s Bootcamp at his place in Chicago 2 years ago, and all sorts or smaller less notable ones since.
Truth is, I am waiting with baited breath for somebody to come up with something better than Adwords- better than Adwords in that it works WITHOUT a dergree from Google on how to make it work profitably.
Conservative estimates put the money losers on Adwords in the 80% to 85% percent range, with about 10% breaking even, and the rest are, well, the Adwords Gods, or maybe just Perry Marshall and Seth Godin :>)
Enough belly-aching, I know. Back to the product – it is based on using Yahoo’s PPC program, which purportedly is much less expensive and easier to use, easier to be competitive in for keywords, and even better – the return on investment is actually a POSITIVE number for the average user. Shocking, I know! #;>)
Now the ad copy on the site is full or biased propaganda, and a few figures that had to have been pulled out of the air more or less, but the product and the premise is sound an logical. This in the face of hugely successful Adwords / Clickbank products like Commission Blueprint, which at very least is one of the most over-delivered products I have ever seen, even if I found the work a little too involved for me.
One of the claims on the Yahoo Cash for Idiots site is:
“Yahoo! Is A HUGE Unexploited Mine Of Gold…With No Competition… Just An Extremely Profitable Untapped Playground”
I guess that is yet to be evidenced, but something I am going to toy with for sure, given the less than Godin like results I have had with Google Adwords to date.
Anyway, if you are like I am in terms of success with, or rather without Google Adwords, this might be worth a look.

I could just as easily say something like:
Remember, "Atheism" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand.
Atheism is a disease of the mind, born of fear and being set in your own ways, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race.

The first European carrier for the Nexus One is all set to start offering Google’s superphone for free on two-year contracts costing £35 ($54) or more per month. Pre-orders are being taken today and full retail availability is slated for April 30. It’s kind of an anticlimax now that the Incredible has started stalking the American prairies, but we’re sure there’ll be plenty of Brits who’ve been waiting with baited breath for this. There’ll be 18- and 24-month contract options, with prices starting at £25 per month, and a 1GB 3G data allowance is included together with a 1GB WiFi allowance via BT Openzone hotspots. Not exactly the most generous price plans we’ve ever heard of, but then the handset’s looking eminently affordable with its zero cash up front requirement. Full PR after the break.

Description: This story of a poor working-class family begins in the squalid setting of Ancoats, Manchester, in 1897. When 11-year-old Kate’s father dies of consumption, the family are catapulted into destitution and the workhouse – the horrible conditions and the brutality of the overseers are graphically described, as is the sense of shame the inmates felt at being there. Kate is fortunate to go to an industrial school where she learns the skills she will need for a life in service. At 14 she finds a position as a maid in the Lamport-Smythe household where she stays for five years, enduring the long hours of the ‘downstairs’ life and the unwelcome attentions of the Lamport-Smythes’ son. Kate’s only desire is to unite her family under one roof and return to the loving family life she had known before her father’s death. This she manages to do, but gradually she becomes disillusioned with her mother and her stepfather’s drinking and decides to make her own happiness. This is a lively…

Yes I do realize the cost of Cap and Tax.(check out the section of the bill on candelabras) to the creation of new welfare programs for Democratic constituencies to, above all, massive giveaways for every financial, industrial, and political lobby imaginable, this bill would permanently deform American politics and economic life.
Eighty-five percent of the carbon permits will not be sold at auction — they will be given away to utility companies, petroleum interests, refineries, and a coterie of politically connected businesses. If you’re wondering why Big Business supports cap-and-trade, that’s why. Free money for business, but higher energy prices for you.
The sale of carbon permits will enrich the Wall Street investment bankers whose money put Obama in the White House. Top of the list: Goldman Sachs, which is invested in carbon-offset development and carbon permissions.
CNN reports:
Less than two weeks after the investment bank announced it would be laying off 10 percent of its staff, ***Goldman Sachs confirmed that it has taken a minority stake in Utah-based carbon offset project developer Blue Source LLC. . . . “Interest in the pre-compliance carbon market in the U.S. is growing rapidly,” said Leslie Biddle, Head of Commodity Sales at Goldman, “and we are excited to be able to offer our clients immediate access to a diverse selection of emission reductions to manage their carbon risk.” o_O
State what your original views were, what they are now, and why they did not change. I assume the views of different philosophers were discussed in your class. Explain why they either confirmed your beliefs or why you didn't agree with them.
There is nothing wrong with continuing to believe what you do even after you heard other points of view. Don't let your professor intimidate you in your beliefs.
Maybe your belief is wrong but it is how you see things at this point in your life. Don't apologize for it.
What do you believe? Do you believe God exist and the professor is wanting you to believe otherwise? Or is it vice versa? Either way, stand your ground and don't let him/her intimidate you. I kind of sense you feel like you are required to change your position after hearing other points of view. Teachers who don't agree with a student sometimes wants a student to see things their way because they think they are right and the student is wrong.

Summertime, and the sports world is hopping. The NHL Finals just concluded, the NBA Finals will soon, the College World Series of baseball is about to start, and there’s less than a month before the Tour de France. Meanwhile, the FIFA World Cup is about to dominate the sports world for the next month. I’m planning two Big Shots posts on the World Cup, one after the group phase, and another at the conclusion of the tournament. Meanwhile, there’s truck pulling in Israel, the Mud Olympics in Germany, and a traditional rodeo in Mexico to divert our attentions. ( 27 photos total)

“OK, Google Buzz has been out several months now (you can see my Google Buzz items on my Google profile page). When it first came out lots of people tried it. But they just as quickly went away. I know, I have 10,000 people following me there but many haven’t been back since the early weeks. Plus, Google got a lot of bad PR because when you setup that service it shared your social graph publicly. One problem: Google Buzz’s social graph is based on the one you built up inside Gmail. That’s potentially troublesome. Google fixed that problem after a few days, letting you hide your social graph, among other fixes, but that bad aftertaste still exists. For a while it seemed like the service was going to be a ghost town. But lately it’s been coming back. I’m getting more engagement on my items there than on Twitter or Facebook. Personally it’s more fun, but more on that in a second. Why is it coming back?”

Going by the book is the way the copper saves his life and keeps his job. Notice that Crowley wasn’t required or expected to apologize because he did nothing wrong. We cannot provided special treatment to any particular group. There was no racial profiling here. Gates was wrong! He believes that because he was a black man that the copper should give him special treatment. Well, I’m an Italian. Where’s my special nuance treatment?

I’m one of the masses that have given more to Adwords than I ever got back. At least I got smart and quite before some of the price rises of 2008.
I’m doing pretty well with seo, blogging, etc., but a reasonable PPC system would entice me.
I’m not going to buy that product, too much else on my plate right now, but I look forward to seeing what you do,Ron.
Hello Meirav,

I could not agree with you more. Google has a monopoly on PPC, at least at first look, but there are many quality alternatives with evidently superior ROI.

Any lower cost alternative to Google Adwords would be good ! I think that in the near future more and more advertisers would be moving from Google Adwords to other alternatives (such as Yahoo, as you mentioned). There are others less known ones, such as ExactSeek that publish the ads on numerous other search engines and blogs.
