I just downloaded mine. Short and fun report. But they only give out limited copies. ASAP. - Buff Toast

hmm I really downloaded a copy and saw what it had - TrafficBug

Oh my God, this is an absolute killer. Allison, I just put up this sales letter on my site yesterday, and my conversions are up to 68%. Thanks for posting it here. Guys, guys, I urge you take advantage of this and download it before they pull it down! - Ritesh Lal

My conversions are going up too. Just hit my first $5000 day using this technique. Awesome work, Ladies!! - Barry Unruh

Oh Guys...You got me - FRAK

Your tweets should be key word rich, not your name. Your name should be all about your identity as a real person in your niche. Be it a nickname, a pen name, or your real name. - Barry Unruh

Thank you. I thought it would look too spammy. I think I will stay with my main Twitter account and use the other one to spread my links a little further. - Michael Netsch

I asked a similar Q in 30DC+ forum ... here it is http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/forums... - Buff Toast

you can mix+match both, which is what I do - TrafficBug

If you go strictly biz then it comes across spammy. I like to see a bit of both with the tweets I follow. - Elizabeth

ok that is interesting - Mitja MG

Don't be discouraged Mitja! Just look at something your competition is doing and start by copying that...then think how you can just make it so much better! If you ever have any specific questions just shoot me an email! TrafficBug@gmail.com I would be more than happy to walk you through the steps - TrafficBug

awesome, thanks TrafficBug! - Mitja MG

I am not part of 30DC+ but I have a partnership with 2 other guys, and we have just about created 2 products for the dating niche. PDF's and videos are the order of the day, and they are based on what has been selling well on clickbank. They will be on sale by mid April, I will keep you posted. Anyone else interested in a JV? preferably UK as it is where I am situated... but I'm open to suggestions... - san

Mitja, if you hang out in forums in your niche, take note of some of the questions that keep being repeated in the posts. Then create a product with the answer to that question and you are good to go;)).All thats left to do after is put your product link in your forum signature, and give great advice out when you see related posts. cha ching!!:). - Elliot Webb

Sales are OK, 10%CTR, $50-$500 product range. It's a good niche I guess ;) - Jorge Blanco

Links are sold based on PR mostly. Thats the main criterion for link sales sites like Teliad, linkworth, text-link-ads etc. - TrafficBug

The higher the PR, the higher the link price per month - TrafficBug

how about on pages with pr 1, 2 n 3? - Jorge Blanco

Depends on your niche AND the PR. To get an idea, get a free account at sites like Teliad where you can see the PR for your niche sites and what they are charging at the moment - TrafficBug

As much as they'll give you! ;) Question - what is the difference between a paid link and an ad? I was watching some Google guy over on YouTube and he mentioned paid links will get you banned. What's the difference? I'm assuming that's ads are obviously ads and paid links are presented more just as hey this is a cool site sorta thing? - DaleK

It's more complex than that. The concept of "trustrank" is being developed by search engines as an alternative to simple "link". What is trust ? It's a link that come from an established domain, with a certain relevancy and pertinence. So to speak, a well formed link from a Travel Blog, is going to be valuable for your site about travel coupons. It's not so effective for your car accessories site. - gareth【ツ】

Thanks, it was more of a curiosity question than anything, I am not having trouble finding sites as there are MANY in my blog niche, I always come across them even when I'm not looking and I only use well established relevant sites. In a couple of REALLY useful busy forums which allow live links in your sig - there are a fair few regulars who have thousands of posts and I was planning on using them a lot from now on! - steven

Since you have Camtasia for the post I will assume you are using a PC and Camtasia. Ed uses Screenflow which is for a Mac. I am now using Camtasia 6 (had 4 and 5) After you create your video, you then need to take it to edit. In edit at the lower left sidebar under Produce, click *Produce video as* You may have to then click custom settings and then you will have all the different formats to chose from.mp4,mv4,ipod,real,mov,wmv,swf,avi,ect.Pick one.continue on an your video will be rendered in that format - Colossal Marketing™

Thanks Ron@ColossalMarketing. When producing the video as done in 30DC, do you think that a "You Tube-like" size is used? Also I rendered in Real Player format (.mov format) because I want to capture as many users with a free player compatible production. What format would you recommend to capture the greatest user population for both a downloaded product as well as physically distributed CD's? - Frank Dobner

no...go three separate domains as each should be targeting a different keyword in the url - Allison

I think Sean means 3 different hosting companies, so they are on separate IP addresses. Also, keep in mind, if they are related sites, you can also share the love between your 3 sites by commenting about your other sites in your posts. Get some inter-family love going.. - Barry Unruh

Depending, but 3 opt-ins/products on one page might confuse people and sounds like an administrative nightmare. To start, you could optimize/promote one keyword/product on the website, promote the others via mailing list or as an upsell, get one keyword ranking then split them up to different domains later. I'd focus on ranking one domain/keyword at a time! - DaleK

And.... if you plan on building 3 domains and interlinking them my understanding is that is bad for seo unless you put them on different hosts. http://www.seohosting.com/ - DaleK

Would it be a good idea to use sub-domains? - Art Y.

Thanks for the comments. The keyword only needs to be in the Permalink, not the root, I would think. Except for Adwords where character length is limited. Bookmarking is done for the inner pages, not home page.Yes? Three opt-in's would be a potential problem. I was not planning on inter-linking, but some reference links may be appropriate, as Barry suggests. Regarding Sub-domains, Google treats them as totally separate domains, so that would also be considered inter-linking.. - California Jerry

Congratulations. You're on your way!! - Barry Unruh

Congrats Susan! - Buff Toast

Congratulations Susan. Good week, isn't it :-) - Ritesh Lal

Keep up the good work! Congratulations! - Wendy Merritt from twhirl

That's great Susan, keep going grrrl!! - JayP from twhirl

Great feeling, right? Remember it and do it again. - Haim Schlesinger from BuddyFeed

Good and keep rocking for more! - TrafficBug

Well Done!!! - Peter Johnson

Congrats! - Beage from twhirl

I'm pretty good on the triangle if anyone wants to form a band. - Groobers

Wow... Does anyone here use copyrighted music for your videos? I've never dared to try for fear of get a law suit... :S - Art Y.

Don't worry about it Art so far my attempts at video are all just me practicing talking to camera, no music, just my dulcet tones, which are to be quite honest absolutely hopeless, but are providing me and my husband with a good laugh, but if I keep practicing sods law I must get better (well thats the theory anyway). - Groobers

Surely they can't enforce that. People will just upload it again and again - Tim Brennan

I've been using some Creative Commons music from Jamendo with my videos. I just make sure I've checked the license, and credit the appropriate person in my notes. That's a quick, legal, free, and easy way to take care of this issue. - Barry Unruh

Yes you have to sing meatloaf tunes;)) - Elliot Webb

funny you should mention singing - it's more info products but there is a BIG lesson to be learned from teenage girls singing..... - Ed Dale

Really?;)) - Elliot Webb

Hi Kara, how did you put that in here? - Frank Donnelly

http://www.flickr.com/photos... is the flickr link for better viewing :-) - Kara

Frank - I first pulled up the SEO Competition with Market Samurai. I clipped the results using SnagIt and pasted that into Word. I then added the text above and clipped everything using SnagIt and saved it as a .jpg - I also posted it in Flickr. Not too bad for my first time! - Kara

Domain links - if I understand you I mentioned what they were above. - Kara

I have to be frank and say that I really don't like the look of this. Those backlinks at #7...! And it's way over the 30dc SEOC limit, which makes it even harder. And the click-thru rate doesn't look great... It's really not what you're looking for if you're doing it the 30dc way. - Isha (Marysia)

s thomas, if you click on it you see a bigger version. - Isha (Marysia)

No, meant domain links linking to the sites in the green and pink table...... wondered if they had been taken into consideration during the decision? - Inspired Writing Research

IIRC, domain links are much less important than page links . . . - LJF Wolffe

Thank you! - Inspired Writing Research

Kara, you might like to look at this: http://www.wordpressdirect.com/ote2con... The interesting bit for you starts just over 4 1/2 minutes into the first video. It's from the recent Over the Edge conference - these are experienced IMers talking with Marty of WDP. - Isha (Marysia)

The competition in this niche looks pretty stiff - remember Google likes old domains, and you have some that are 10 years old here. But you might want to try adding a word or two to your phrase to look for something a little more "long tail." - Tom Landini
