Authority Pro WordPress Theme by Alex Goad (is) a Scam?

Image via Wikipedia

Authority Pro, the WordPress theme developed by professional scammers Bryan McConnahea and Alex Goad, is a good example of how the Internet marketing business is turning into a scammers paradise – a puddle full of slimy, greasy losers who think money makes them superior to everyone else.

Professional rip-off artists like Alex Goad (I don’t know Bryan McConnahea, so he is only guilty by association), are masters at building up the big product release, only to abandon the product and move on to the next big product release (can you say Alexander Krulic? When was the last upgrade to his Magic Article Rewriter? Seems like he abandoned it for Magic Submitter).

This is a disturbing trend in the Internet marketing business, seen more and more often. So if you are new to the Internet marketing business, beware that you are likely to be scammed many times before finding an honest person or quality product. Quite honestly, this business is filled with scum-sucking leaches who don’t give a damn about integrity or product quality.

Let’s look for a minute at Alex Goad’s Authority Pro theme for WordPress. Early reports were that it was full of bugs. [...]

Article Marketing: Writing Ideas For Greater Conversions

Image via Wikipedia

When applied properly, article marketing is one of the best ways to promote your website or blog for Internet marketing and affiliate marketing success. Here are some ideas and tips you can use to become a more effective article marketer.

One of the best ways for people new to article marketing is to study the articles of other proficient and successful writers. You can learn many valuable techniques from these professionals, such as the importance of titles and using keywords effectively. You also want to learn styles and phrases that will peak the interest of your reader and get them in a buying mood (if that is your intention).

Of course, you don’t want to plagiarize another person’s content, but there is nothing wrong with rewriting their article using your own ideas and words. Harold Bloom, a brilliant literary critic, called it “creative plagiarism”, and it is what most people do – even the best writers.

But remember to find your own voice. Make it your own, by using your own natural speech patterns, syntax and vocabulary, and adding as many of your own unique ideas as possible.

So the best way to become a [...]

Article Writing Suggestions For Higher Conversions

Each and every online marketer would greatly benefit from knowing how to craft and write quality articles. In this article we shall be looking into a few effective tips that can help you write more meaningful articles.

Whenever you write articles, be darn sure you offer them information that is targeted to them and is of good value. It’s extremely easy to find articles published in directories that are vague and really do not offer anything substantial to the reader. Simple question, would any readers in your own market have good reasons to read your articles? You have to give the reader what he/she needs, and in return you’ll get the traffic that you’re aiming for. Your articles will not be much better if you simply re-write other articles, and you’ll find that response to yours will be better if you add new and solid content to yours. Your articles will have a much higher chance of getting published if you give good to excellent value to the reader. Your reward can include other people publishing your articles on various online sites, etc. Another reason to write excellent and informative articles is because people may bookmark them to social bookmarking [...]

Warning: PayPal Arbitrarily “Limiting” Accounts, Again.

Image via Wikipedia

As many of you know who have been in the Internet business world for some time, PayPal has always had one of the worst reputations for third party payment processors. This reputation was well deserved. There were thousands of cases in which PayPal, without warning, shut down business owners’ PayPal accounts for no apparently good reason, and if there was a reason, PayPal had no intention of telling them what it was. That’s how dictators operate – in a realm of secrecy.

These despotic, unethical and inhumane actions on the part of PayPal were brutal and devastating to thousands of business owners. People who had spent years building up their businesses saw them destroyed in an instant, at the whim of some jerk who worked at PayPal, who obviously had some sort of pathological inferiority complex which could only be satisfied by the sadistic, wanton destruction of people’s lives. And the owners of PayPal didn’t give a damn.

In fact, the huge negative publicity garnered by this brutish, dictatorial destruction of people’s online businesses was actually good for PayPal’s business. It put PayPal in the headlines and gave them massive media exposure which they never [...]

AdSense Tips to Make More Money and Increase Click Through Rates

After long hours researching Google’s Adsense program, I’ve come up with a few important ways that may help you to increase your adsense earnings. The important thing is to follow google’s guidelines for use and not violate their terms of service.

As most of you know, adsense is google’s pioneering contextual advertising program. They were the first(?) company to offer contextual ads and are still the most powerful  search and advertising company on the internet.

Contextual ads are simply ads relevant to the content of your website. Therefore, the most important thing to keep in mind for adsense success is to keep your website content tightly focused with keywords and niche topics, and the quality of your content high. High quality content is more important than anything for long term success for people who have higher goals than just making money

Yes, there are blackhat (illegal) techniques for making money with adsense that work well for short periods of time by breaking all the rules. These are run by people who like to “game the system” and value making money more than ethical behavior or adding real value from the content they are posting on the web.

If you’re a [...]

Internet Marketing Success: Professional Sales Letter Writing Tips

Here is how many of the professional internet marketers in the online affiliate marketing business craft their sales letters so that they can “convert” (conversion), or sell products to their customers.

One psychological technique which has become vogue in recent years is the idea of “overcoming resistance”, or getting your potential customer to stop hesitating from fear or doubt and take the plunge and make a purchase from you.

If effect, you want your sales copy to get the potential customer to “take action.” Obviously, in an industry as competitive as online internet affiliate marketing, the first person who can convert the sales is the winner – the “super affiliate.”

So when an expert copywriter sits down to create his sales letter, he has to think about the psychological hurdles and resistance that must be overcome if he is to be successful. These include such things as:

Is the product too expensive? Am I getting a “good deal”? Can I trust the seller, or is he some kind of crook or thief? How do I know this product will satisfy my needs and solve my problems? Do I really need to make this purchase right now, or can I [...]

E-books, Articles for Internet Affiliate Marketing Success

Publishing your own E-books is one of the best and fastest ways to make money on the Internet. The proliferation of Ebooks has exploded over the last several years, which is proof that they are rapidly becoming an accepted, mainstream form of digital media distribution of important information.

In other words, rather than driving to their local bookstore, people are now looking online to the Internet to meet their information needs. More and more people are coming online (particularly in countries outside the US) and beginning to trust the Internet as a safe and convenient way to shop, which is creating an incredible, never seen before opportunity for writers to publish their own material and make good money in the process, reaching an international audience at the click of a mouse.

An Ebook is simply a regular book that has been converted to digital media so it can be displayed and transmitted over the Internet. This allows not only a faster means of proliferation and the ability for everyone to get published, but it also makes it possible to carry an entire library of books in your pocket. What a revolution!

Wikipedia says this about the benefits of ebooks over [...]

Time Management & 2.0 Social Networking

The 80/20 Rule

Wikipedia: “The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule . . .) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.” That’s a confusing way of saying that we waste most of our time because 80% of the results of our labor comes from only 20% of what we actually do. It is a law of efficiency .

This article will also focus on some social networking sites and how they can benefit your online Internet marketing business when using advanced principles of time management and efficient information processing(EIP).

If you’ve never heard of the 80/20 rule, you have now. It’s one of the most powerful ideas today that can truly make a difference in your life and to your viral marketing.

Last year was great for the development of my business. It would not have been were it not for the 80/20 rule – learning how to cope with information stress and overload. In the Information Age, information is either your ally or your worst enemy.

Information overload, processing and organization have always been challenging, but it’s getting more difficult every day. Although the Internet [...]
