There has been a flurry of signups (Thank you!) since releas­ing Traf­fic Marks into the wild, so we decided to record a short walk-through to help every­one max­i­mize their results.
In a few extremely riv­et­ing min­utes you’ll learn:

Why scor­ing back links from “Traf­fic Mark” sites is vital to your dreams of 1st page rel­e­vance
How to successfully […]

We just posted a free case-study video show­ing exactly how we helped a client score 150% more traf­fic and 133% more con­ver­sions.
It’s almost exactly 16 min­utes and depicts exactly what this entre­pre­neur did to her crazy niche site… which is “EMF Pro­tec­tion Equip­ment.” You’ll see “before” and “after” pics as well as hear from the […]

We all know what karma is. What goes around comes around… it’s the law of the uni­verse. Sim­ply put, the more you give, the more you get… or as Robert Cial­dini puts it in the sci­ence of “Influ­ence”, it’s the rule of reci­procity.
Now, we’ve all heard of reci­procity with our cus­tomers. Give them bonuses, surprise […]

If you con­struct your land­ing pages right, you’ve got a lot of beach time ahead of you. Your land­ing page is the first step to cap­tur­ing all that traf­fic you’re pay­ing for. A well-made land­ing page could be the dif­fer­ence between a web­site that’s your hobby and a web­site that funds your vaca­tions.
If you’re spending […]

Our reg­u­lar read­ers may have noticed a slight down­turn in AdWords-centric blog posts over the past few weeks (months?).
Let me explain why.
While we enjoy shar­ing our reg­u­lar exper­i­men­tal results and weekly nuggets of wis­dom, we took a hia­tus from these to focus on some­thing dra­mat­i­cally more use­ful to you.
We hun­kered down and finally put into […]

When the laugh­ter died down in the back room of the focus-group facil­ity, I was told that this pro­posal was DOA, for two rea­sons. First, the prod­uct man­ager would never meet her employer’s aggres­sive finan­cial objec­tives sell­ing shrink-wrapped soft­ware priced at $15 a copy. Sec­ond, every­one on the client team assured me that it would […]

As I write this, we are 8 hours and 45 min­utes from launch­ing a totally new prod­uct.
Before you go into a frenzy, it is not in the inter­net mar­ket­ing field. It’s actu­ally a new per­sonal devel­op­ment prod­uct we’ve been work­ing slav­ing over for sev­eral weeks and are now releas­ing to the world.
As you’ve prob­a­bly figured […]

I was doing research today on blog mar­ket­ing and wanted to share a few of the qual­ity links I came upon. The obvi­ous win­ner here is Dosh Dosh; the amount of qual­ity con­tent on that site is amaz­ing. My only gripe is that the date of pub­li­ca­tion is never obvi­ous.
With that, if you are […]

John Reese is invit­ing you to become his friend. Jack Humphrey thinks it’s a great idea.
It’s a nice mar­ket­ing stunt, and I’m sure John has a well thought-out plan for the likely 5000 peo­ple who add him, but that’s all it is: a stunt. The long term value is not pend­ing for most of us (John […]

I just noticed this (The “Los Ange­les” line). Any­body seen it before?

I’d be curi­ous to know what the story is behind it and what sort of con­ver­sion impli­ca­tions it has.
