I was poking around checking some affiliate links today when I came across some offers on quality internet marketing products. I’ve no idea how long these offers will last so use your on judgement.

First up is Market Samurai, a top-notch keyword research tool. If you build websites for profit or you’re looking for keywords to do article marketing on, then this is a superb tool. It pulls keywords from Google and provides a range of tools for analyzing those keywords for relevancy to your niche, checking the competition (and strength of that competition), hoe much traffic those keywords get and whether they’re profitable or not. There are numerous way to find out more about your competition so you can decide if a niche is worth going into or if it’s just too competetive. If you’re stuck for an affiliate program to match your selected niche, it will provide a list of suitable programs for you and will advise you on the best offers to promote. It will even find content for you. Use the above link to save 35% on the regular price for the software.

Next is Keyword Elite 2.0. Another top-notch keyword research tool. While it doesn’t have the same set of tools as Market Samurai, it does pull keywords from other sources as well as Google, so keywords come from other search engines and may not be used as search terms in Google. This gives you a wider range of keywords. The software itself provides SEO insights, quickly allows you to determine if your keywords will target buyers or window shoppers, find high CPA offers, uncover niches and sub niches pretty much on demand. Normally selling for $297, Keyword Elite 2.0 is currently on offer for $97.

Then there’s Auto Blog Blueprint 2.0 which is a course that teaches you how to build successful autoblogs (it’s easy to build unsuccessful blogs; building a successful one takes more care and effort). This is unquestionably the best autoblogging course available. It’s techniques and methodologies can be applied to regular blogs as well to help them do better in the search engines. If you don’t know what an auto blog is, it’s a blog that has content added to it automatically on autopilot. Normally $147, you can get the course for $97 using this exclusive coupon: BEC006C89A. The course is updated frequently (at no additional cost) and consists of a mixture of text pages (like an online ebook) and a series of videos. There’s also a forum for members.

If you do article marketing or are looking for content for your websites, you could do a lot worse than Article Underground. Each month, you get 400 high traffic, low competition, exact keyword phrase optimized articles of at least 400 words. They also have a network of 44 high quality blogs (plus over 80 more member contributed announcements blogs too!), covering broad & specific niches and general topics where you can promote your own sites and pages (i.e. instant quality backlinks). There’s also a load of special reports, tutorials & videos available to members. Membership is normally $97 per month, but using the above link, you can get a year’s membership for $399 (equivalent to $33.25 per month – a saving of 66%).

Lastly, $7 Deals have reduce the prices on all their video sets to $7 (they normally only sell video sets for $7 for a week before permanently raising the price). Video set range from SEO techniques to article marketing, working with Camtasia to creating brandable reports, and other internet marketing related topics.

It’s been a while since I updated this blog with my progress in Alex Jeffreys marketing course. It’s a rainy Saturday afternoon and I have a bit of time to spare, so here’s what I’ve been up to during the course…

The core of Alex’s course is to build a list. I’m involved in a few online enterprises (writing software, building and maintaining websites, testing the waters with autoblogs, looking after customers, etc.), so I’ve had less time than I’d have liked to devote to Alex’s course. So my timetable has slipped over the last couple of weeks (a minor health scare and a short stint in hospital didn’t help either).

Putting The Course Into Action

The idea behind building any list is that you give away a product to a visitor providing they sign up to your list. As part of Alex’s course, he gave his students a product to give away in order to help in building their lists. It’s the Easy Cash Webinar (you may have heard of it by now). I’ve done a little bit of promotion on this but not as much as I should have and, consequently, I haven’t built much of a list here. The webinar is pretty much the first module from the Marketing With Alex 3.0 course and gives a good grounding in how you should approach running a business online. Everything stems from using that mindset.
