Happy Thanksgiving and Google Assassin Review
Hey, I just wanted to reach out and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving… yes, even those not in the US. It's nice to set aside time (even just one day) to be thankful for everything you have in this life.
I'm thankful for having YOU in MY life. I take pride in this blog and am grateful to have readers.
On another topic, I had a chance to review the hyped up Google Assassin. I give it a thumbs up. I'm not promoting it with an affiliate link as I enjoyed what Frank Kern wrote yesterday… there are others with bonuses and I have none, go buy through them (well said, Frank).
What the hell, how can I write a 'review' and just give a thumbs up. Not too responsible of me.
So here's some detail…
I read 2 plans. One on site targeting and one on article marketing in 2007. Both plans tell you what you need without fluff. I like that. Both plans are very similar to what I personally do already. I like that as well.
The Clickbank product finder tool in the affiliates den is nice. I still use CB Engine, but the DJK team takes it a step further and gives you SPECIFIC recommendation (nice touch).
There are several software apps included. None of them were very impressive (Maybe a 4 out of 10 each), but they are all USABLE. I gave them a 4 out of 10 as I am personally aware of better software independently sold that does the same job. Now, you have to PAY for that other software which REALLY increases the value for those who are part of this membership (all his tools are included in the price).
As always, watching the DKJ team's sales process is as important as what you get inside the membership (remember that).
On another note (and I'm not sure why more people don't do this). When you find a good service online that relatively few people know about (and has a referral program), why not spend 2 hours writing a report about that service? I've done this a few times with lending sites.
Hint: you don't need to write the report yourself. You can hire a company like Ebooks Created to crank them out for you. Speaking of ebook (or report) creation shops (1 stop place for everything), who can you recommend? I admit, I have just hired Ebooks created and have yet to determine whether or not they will be used again.
I'm off till Sunday (unless I get the itch to write again).
Enjoy,
Woody

Hi Woody,
Just wanted to let you know, that I also have an ebook creation service that offers everything you need to get going. Depending on what you need, 2-7 days turn-around.
Unfortunately, as the saying goes the cobbler's children get shoes made last so still working on the site at:
http://www.theproductmachine.com
However, I have turned over about 30 different ebooks in the last two months and no complaints as of yet. Infact, only praise
Drop me a note if you need more details or want a reference from people that you will know.

Would you kindly list those tools that do the job and better?
Google assassin is a piece of crap. I can't believe you say it is good..
Hi Rudy, I'm sure you are smarted than most other people.
Personally, I think Google Assassin is a great starting place for those looking for direction.
The reality is that most people are not content on settling for one plan, thus we jump from idea to idea looking for the magic pill. Once we've moved on to the next big thing, everything else prior to that is a 'piece of crap'. This isn't always the case, but it often is.
Apparently, this isn't for you and that's ok.
Woody
I have the same request as Brian as I know there are some better tools out there to do the same job. Please share.

Google Assassin Review (Does Not Live Up To The Hype)
When this guy comes out with a ebook on how he got every internet guru on the planet to promote his service I will buy it. I bought Google Assassin and I am really dissapointed. He says you can create unlimited Clickbank Review sites automatically with his online software. You cannot. You can only promote a list of about 8 chosen products! You cannot even choose the Clickbank products you want to promote! I thought it would really be interesting to have software which quickly produced nice review sites of Clickbank products. He absolutely does not deliver on this.
Most of the tools that are in the members section can be found free on the internet. Such as the Overture keyword tool,tools to find the most popular ads for your keywords and links to some sort of article directory of affiliate marketing. Folks, if you want to find the most popular Google Ads just type your keywords into Google. You do not need a $67. per month subscription for this.
There is one piece of information they gave me which I found interesting. That was how to place Google Adwords ads on specific sites and how to pay per 1000 impressions and not per click. They had a nice tutorial on this. I have not had a chance to test the technique but I will. I guess I could have learned this from the Google help section but I did not not. They introduced this concept to me and this alone might pay for the price of admission. I have yet to test this out. I guess it is taken from a book called Adwords 180.
After you order you are redirected to a page where you can upgrade to get the Advanced Day Job Killer Blueprints. This costs $47 then $47. monthly! This is fine with me if they really give me great info. Unlike many marketers I will read the stuff and really try to apply it. So if the info it is good this is nothing for me to pay.
Here is some of the copy from the upgrade page:
“The step-by-step, copy and paste techniques used by the world’s most successful, underground $500/day Traffic Arbitragers - some borrowed, some “stolen” - all gold, and the surest path to join them in the world of financial freedom. You will never guess how they do it until you see it happen yourself…”
This, my friend is complete bull! I printed out the entire Arbritage PDF. Of course I know if I buy traffic low and sell high I can make money. Duhh! What I do not know is how to get quality traffic on the cheap. This report is pure fluff. I read the whole thing on the beach 1 hour ago. They do not tell us where to get the cheap traffic! This report tells you nothing. The only good piece of info I got out of this report was to consider international markets. However, this is just a tip. They go into no detail on how to exploit the international markets. Really superficial. Not worth the money at all. Mainly it is a pitch for another backend product which is supposed to go into great detail on the subject of traffic arbritrage.
Didn’t I just pay a $47. upgrade for this? Now I have to buy another ebook. Shameless. If the customer PAYS for the info deliver it. Here is the ebook they are promoting on the backend. You are probably better getting this though I have not had the chance to review it. It is called Google Payload.
Overall I am really dissapointed with this system. I do not recommend that you buy it. No affiliate link here to click. If I hear information to the contrary I will post it but for now it does not even come close to living up to the hype.
Struggle for a while to type this email. Woody seems not very helpful in providing valuable information to its visitors but keep promoting products/services only. It will not be a very useful blog if it is the case!
sorry/James
Hi James,
Are you an idiot?
Seriously.
It's hard to find a blog that's GIVEN as much as I have.
As far as promoting a few products that I believe in, I say 'get over it' and be thankful I'm even writing this blog in the first place.
Woody
Just to say that the James that knocked your blog is emphatically not the Jim that did the Google Assassin review. A marketer has every right to promote what he believes to be a valuable product. How else would you find out about them? If you don't agree with the recommendation, don't buy it. It's that simple. If you don't like the blog, don't read it. If you have constructive remarks, great. Otherwise, it's better to remain silent and learn. Besides, nothing stops you from doing a little research and reading other reviews!
Hi,
well i read this info on the product, and it was ok to me.
plus i guess its up to the person involved if they want to purchase the product themselves.
