Do you think CPA Deals beat CPC deals on your site?

Recently it came up at lunch, and I was wondering what some of you thought about this.

I've actually got a book on the subject as I think it's "the next big thing" in a sense.

See what I mean? You weigh in too, I'm curious to hear your experience.

Internet Marketing 101

I felt like I had to post this because I've seen so many sites lately that have nothing to do with commerce or marketing at all. Simply making a brochure site doesn't mean you're doing business on the web.

Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula

In case you weren't aware of Jeff and his PLF training, he's one of the people behind some of the most successful internet marketing launches in recent history.

His PLF formula has been reputed to have made many people much money and I have to say that I've been impressed with his own product launch... so I'm lining up with the rest of the people crashing his servers :)

You know it's a popular program when the minute the launch goes live, your servers are crashing due to the demand.

Cool... I want my launches to do that.

When Free info is not free

I have to say that lately this is something that's starting to bug me.

The old "FREE REPORT" game.

In this case it was click tracks although they are not the only ones by any means, they're just the ones that I'm focusing my laser beam like rant at.

It's not free info, if I have to give you my full email, mailing, name and SIN number (ok, not the SIN, but everything else).

Let's be honest, my lead info is actually a commodity that they would gladly pay for. Knowing that I am interested in the subject matter alone is enough to place me in the "qualified lead" category.

What's a qualified lead worth in the business intelligence market?

I don't know, but I assure you that it's probably a lot more than $5 per lead... the going "trade show contact" accepted metric.

So in fact, it's not free information if I have to pay with my contact info now is it? Let's be honest.

I think apple's got it right, if you download quicktime or itunes you'll notice they want the lead info, but it won't stop you from downloading it if you don't give it to them - they still want you to have the information / platform / software / mind share... The form looks like you have to mind you, so I'm sure they have a high rate of opt in.. but that's OK, and they're not calling it "FREE INFORMATION" and then harvesting your lead info from you.

(I didn't download the report in case you're wondering - someone post the link to del.icio.us would you?)

Free Article Submitter Software

While article submission isn't anything shockingly new to the world of SEO, many people STILL don't do it... and for good reason.

It takes so incredibly long to do manually.

I'll admit, I had tried article submission at one point, but after I finally found a few article dircetories to submit my articles to, then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required
textboxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be better spent doing something else.

Then I came across a free program created by Brad Callen and Bryxen Software, Inc. that allows you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of article directories with a few mouse clicks. Basically all
I had to do was input my article criteria into the software, ONCE! Then, the program would automatically fill in all of the required data at each of the submission websites. Pretty incredible if you ask me.

The only part I didn't understand was why the program is free... but I can't argue with that I suppose.

The software currently contains around 700 article directories, all free to submit your articles to. It is the most straightforward program that we've come across, in that all you need to do is:

• 1. Input your article details (i.e. title, article body, bio,
  etc.) into the software
  
  
• 2. Click on the directory you want to submit to

Then the program will automatically fill in your article details.

Just click the submit button and your article is instantly submitted to the directory. You can then move to the next directory, go through the list, and by the time you're finished you'll have roughly 700 one way
links pointing to your website.

I can't think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if you're going to get links this quickly, it's important to submit different variations of your articles, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Article Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

The software is constantly being updated and there is an incredible community of users established that allwork together to make the software better and better, so you know you're getting great value for the money.
