Tim Bekker’s Autoresponder Code launched earlier today.

The Autoresponder Code is unlike other email marketing products. Rather that teaching you “How to build your list” or “How to drive traffic to your website”, in instead focuses on a largely unknown area of email marketing, offering simple tricks and techniques you can instantly use to :

- build a strong and positive relationship to your opt in list subscriber

- personalize your websites for your subscribers

- increase your squeeze page conversion rate massively

- increase your confirmation rate

- build your own affiliate program just by using your autoresponder

There are more than 25 techniques that aim to increase your profits dramatically.

Pros:

It’s a pretty good course on how to go about list building and the psychology behind opt-ins and listbuilding and it will help you to maximise your list building efforts.

Bekker is also providing 3-Tiers in which affiliates can earn from promoting this system.

Cons:

If you don’t have a list yet, then you’re probably better off not buying the course until you have created one. The course doesn’t teach you how to drive traffic to your opt-in pages, so you’ll need to go elsewhere to learn that skill.

I was about to head over to the WarriorForum to check out the new posts when an email dropped into my inbox from EzineArticles about an article I’d submitted to them a few days back. So I opened the email, assuming it would contain an acceptance notice. It didn’t. Hmmm…

The article I had submitted was about the problems I’ve been having with the Wordpress “Missed Schedule” posts on some furture-dated blogs and directing people where to find solutions (they’re listed on this blog). So it came as something of a surprise to see this the content of their email:

Affiliate marketing can be a tough business. It’s hard to find quality products to promote. And if you promote a bad product to your list on on your website , especially if you endorse it, it can damage your reputation with your list or readers.

Many affiliates promote products from the Clickbank marketplace. Clickbank certainly has its share of products (over 10,000 of them) and, while some are absolute corkers, there’s no denying that some of them are absolute stinkers. And, to make matters more difficult, a stinker of a product may sell well initially because the marketing behind it has been well thought out. But as time passes, its refund rate increases as buyers send it back. And no affiliate likes seeing refund notices appearing in the inbox!

So how can you find quality products or offers to promote? This post will list three of the best available. Some because they’re tried and tested over time, some because they’re from the biggest names in the internet marketing industry and offer significant commissions.

So let’s get started…

Tim Bekker’s “Autoresponder Code” is offering 3-tier commissions on both leads and sales (even though this is a Clickbank product).

The prelaunch began on June 8th and the official launch is on June 15th.

Go here, then look for the “Affiliates & Partners – Click here” sign-up link on the lower right of the page and sign up as an affiliate.

It pays up to $1.75 per lead on the first tier as well. Make sure to read the PDF file you get when you sign up as it shows just how much you can potentially make with this offer. It’s good stuff.

So sign up and start telling others about it. Write a blog post, add a page to your website, publish a Squidoo lens, etc. so you get people signing up under you.

If you’re looking for ways to get traffic, sign up my Blog Linking Tactics report (at right). If you don’t have a blog, most of the tactics can be used to promote traditional websites. You’ll also get 50 traffic generation videos to watch.

The question of how much (percentage-wise) Google pays webmasters for clicks on Adsense ads displayed on their websites has always been open to speculation. Google have never revealed what that figure is and speculation among webmasters put the figure at anywhere between 10% and 50% of revenue share.

Personally, I always figured it was around the 50% mark and I think the majority of opinion put it at between 40% and 50%.

Well, it was something of a surprise then when Google recently came out and announced exactly what the revenue share percentage is. The announcement was supposedly made “in the spirit of greater transparency”.

And the percentage?

Ever have one of those days when just about everything seems to go wrong? Well, I’ve pretty much had a week of that. Some things went well, most didn’t.

So what did go right (I’m starting with this list because it’s much shorter than the things that went wrong!)?

1. I released the latest edition of my SiteBuilder Elite software. That had been on the back burner somewhat, because I’ve been dedicating time to following Alex Jeffreys in his coaching program.

2. I released the latest edition of my LunarPhase Pro software. This has absolutely nothing to do with internet/affiliate marketing – it’s a software tool for amateur astronomers that predicts various lunar phenomena, contains an interactive Moon atlas and other stuff.

3. I got my most recent blog post written up and published (My Article Marketing Strategy).

4. I managed to get a Squidoo lens set up for my training with Alex Jeffreys.

Now for what’s gone wrong…

Write An Article

I write articles with a view to spinning them. Not in the sense that some thesaurus just replaces keywords it identifies in the text with various synonyms, making for semi-readable articles, but in terms of me doing the spinning. So first, I write an article. Pretty simple. Then I take that article and rewrite each sentence in it two more times. It’s important to note that it’s sentences that get rewritten and not paragraphs as a whole.

One of these articles I’ll submit to EzineArticles. This article directory takes a couple of days to review submissions and if they find a variation of your article somewhere else, they’ll reject the submission. So articles submitted to EzineArticles need to be absolutely unique.

Once EzineArticles has accepted the article, things really start to roll…

Aside from a couple of blogs like this one that I manually update from time to time, I also run some autoblogs built using the WordPress Mage system. If you’re familiar with the term, an autoblog is one that has a number of future dated posts queued up to be posted on specific dates. You build the blog and let it run on autopilot from then on.

That is until Wordpress 2.9.x came along…

If you’ve read my previous post, you’ll know that I’m now one of Alex Jeffreys‘ students. As part of the practical work he’s set in his coaching program, he’s set a competition for his students: whoever gets the most traffic to their blog by early next month will get as a prize, a complete professional blog created fro them (including content, plugins, graphics, etc. and the blog will be the front end to a whole marketing business. Quite a prize and one worth fighting for!

One of the terms of competing is for students to document how they are driving traffic to their blogs. So that’s what this progress report will be about.

I’ve spent time yesterday and today using various techniques to drive traffic. It’s a time-consuming business and there’s no way I could get everything done in a couple of days. Or even a week. Driving traffic is a long-term process, and there are quite a variety of ways to pull it. So here’s how I started:

1. I have a number of other websites so I added links pointing to this blog to them. A couple of my other websites are in the internet/affiliate marketing niche so it was ok to put a link to this blog on their front pages. With the other sites, I placed the links on “resources” or “links” pages on the site. Google seems to prefer links that are between relevant sites. Also, all links are one-way (i.e. this blog doesn’t link back to sites that link to it). One-way links carry more weight in Google and should help this blog rank better.

2. There’s a forum for students in Alex’s coaching program where the new students are asked to do two things: a) leave comments on other members’ blogs and b) post your blog link so others can leave comments on your blog. I’ve done both, but I’ll keep adding comments to other blogs over the coming days so I get more and more traffic. I’ve also added a link to my blog into my signatures/profiles on the various forums I’ve joined.

3. I’ve added my blog web address into my email signature. Anyone who reads my emails will see it there.

[Update: While writing this post, I got sidetracked into listing all the methods I use to drive traffic to my sites and ended up turning it into a report you can download (from the top right of this page). So, on the plus side I now have a report I can refer back to and that you may find useful too. On the downside, I've lost time actually promoting this blog!]
