Thanks for letting me know about the broken links in my Blog – and my apologies for not having fixed them all yet.
It’s been hard NOT to fix them as I wanted that to be a priority! I hate faults and any imperfections that I think I can fix (given time).
However, I’m also doing my best to prioritise and keep myself organised – so I’m actually using this as an example of self control – to prove that I can keep my word and WILL make my News Site and correct Page Building/Adding to my many other sites a higher priority than correcting a few links on this Blog. (Note the Privacy Policy and About the Major pages now in place!)
I apologise again for broken links though, I must have messed them up when I was trying to learn how to best use the Socrates and Flexsqueeze Themes that I attempted to set up here………. but failed…. oops, slipping back into “Old-Speak” …. I should have said ……….but haven’t yet succeeded – haha!!
Just as an update so that you know a little more about what I ‘m doing…….. some would keep it secret until completed but this is meant to be a Hype Free area so it’s only fair to let you in on this……….
I am currently still evaluating several different Site Installation Software Packages but have got so involved with the nitty gritty of two of them in particular, and the Manual Site Builder with which I am comparing them, that I am regularly behind my preset deadlines and run out of time for anything else. I can so far say that I don’t really find JP’s Site Profit Bot a very useful tool for me (I just don’t like the appearance of the Sites or the manner in which I should add content), and also found myself utterly swamped by the vast array of facilities in Chris “The Day Job Killer’s” Affiliate X.
CB Predators is a total “Dog’s Breakfast” and just goes to show that a reasonable product can be ruined by poor planning and abysmal customer support!
Did anyone else notice Chris Fox and co asking their users to write the manual for them???? How crass can you get?
Edwin Boiten’s “geeky” but very promising program “O” as yet remains untested, though I have now succeeded in completing its installation – an achievement I’m very pleased with as it proved quite difficult for a non-techy like me. I must add yet another vote of thanks to Dan Thomson at D9Hosting – Thanks Dan, your support desk is second to none!!!
Chris Sempel’s Affiliate Genie looks very useful, but I’m only part way into that – sharing time on that one with Marty Roz’s Affiliate Pilot Pro system…….. which I’ve found very impressive so far. I like his WordPressDirect anyway so maybe I’m a little biased! (I have to mention that having Keith Baxter as a partner must make a difference there!)
I can’t really comment on the value of Multi Profit Websites as I have not yet completed the first one – I find them a bit dated, and not as easy to adapt to what I currently have in mind as I had expected. I had to leave Aaron Danker’s Rocket Launcher to some one else to evaluate as I just ran out of funds at the time it came out – haha, an old problem eh?!
I couldn’t possibly afford Nathan Anderson’s Niche ATM system either, or some of the other hugely expensive automated programs that have been pouring out this summer, but I am determined to fully test Ben Shaffer’s “No Cost Traffic System” and that is currently receiving high priority in my daily work. A lot to learn, but well worth it I’m sure.
There are other programs that I’m just scooting around because again, they aren’t on my priority list…..
But I will shortly begin to monetize this Blog and then will give my honest views of programs I would support, along with some of the necessary links. …………. another hour passed by, but this time it was with one of my “Golf Balls” (if you’ve read one of my other posts). My 2 year old Grandson Oscar wanted to play “Bubbles” so we’ve had a ball chasing hundreds of them round the lawn……. great fun eh! Luckily I ran out of Bubble Fluid or we’d be there for another hour yet!
Well, maybe this isn’t a complete post, and it jumps around like an interrupted diary insert – but “it’s all mine folks”, and it sure beats crawling along an Afghan ditch waiting to come across an inevitable IED with no way around it and nowhere to shelter…… I feel for those lads, it can’t be easy!
Don’t forget now, be careful out there (you Hillstreet Blues fans).

What are your Lifestyle Principles?
Do you have any? Do you NEED any? Isn’t Lifestyle just “Natural?”
My friend Randy Smith is always commenting on lifestyle features and effects – telling his Readers to enjoy “Loving Life, Living it with Passion, And Passing it on!”
That sounds good to me, but I wouldn’t dream of “stealing” his pitch!
Randy recently posted a very amusing but thought provoking article based on a variety of quotes from Leviticus (guess who sent it him? – OK, it was me, I just didn’t think of using it in my Blog!).
However, it really set me thinking about the vagaries of human beliefs and just how strong an effect they can have on so many lives. Now I’m not one to discuss religions, or religious lifestyle, “Each to their own” is my maxim, as long as it doesn’t harm anyone who happens to disagree!
However, I’ve been giving some thought to my own “lifestyle” views. It’s odd isn’t it, how we all have some idea of how we think we live, but don’t necessarily find it easy to spell it out if someone dares to ask – “What’s your lifestyle secret?”
I’m not usually stuck for words but I couldn’t think of a short answer to that when I was recently working on a part of the iClick University – http://bit.ly/9vcR1hUClick “Homework” that Richard Butler set me. I do have a lifestyle guide, or theme, but it’s based on a two page document.
I was reminded of it again today when talking to an old ex-Army friend of mine who is now bed-ridden with a long term illness. We talk every now and then, and I often write to George (in the MOST non-PC fashion possible) as I know that it can give him a lift – I understand what makes him laugh, we share the same sense of humour!! George was talking about the need to ignore the unfairness of life in general and the importance of being positive and knowing just what things were really important to a person. So I printed out and laminated a copy of my Lifestyle “Golf Balls” theme for him – I posted it too, he should have it tomorrow! As a result of all this serious thinking (very hard work for a “skimmer” like me) I thought I should post it here as well because I do feel that it may help to nudge you into giving your own beliefs a bit of a stretch and a run through the “Do I still feel this way?” tester.
Should I Call This My Lifestyle: – Mantra – Creed – Doctrine – Guideline – or is it just good old Common Sense?
I picked up the original of this Lifestyle Comment in my mail a couple of years ago, I don’t even remember who sent it me, but over the next year it slowly became the mainstay of my outlook and approach to lifestyle in general. My son Philip has also adopted it as one of his reference points, and I believe he even uses it in part of his training patter in the Police Force.
Here it is – a Lifestyle Principle In A Jar -…….. simple but so very clear!
The Mayonnaise Jar and Two Beers
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the grains of sand. The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your lifestyle. The golf balls are the important things— your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions— and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else—the small stuff. ‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
‘Pay attention to your lifestyle, to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first— the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.
The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’
The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.
“Each to their own” is my lifestyle maxim, as long as it doesn’t harm anyone who happens to disagree!
But – remember your Golf Balls!

“Think Positive” and “Count Your Blessings”
These are personal comments, not much of an Internet Marketing slant, but maybe with some educational value – like “Think Positive” and “Count Your Blessings”!!
I posted this a couple of months back in Joel Comm’s World Village Site, but as my Blog is undergoing a hefty revamp I thought I’d add it here, now that I am officially an Old Age Pensioner! Please bear in mind that this was written in March.
I am redesigning Major-Reviews – it’s a Positive Move!
Yes, I am redesigning Major-Reviews, and also building a Major-Reviews-Bonus site – plus adding a DOTedu Major-Reviews site too (plus a Blogger Blog Major-Reviews which is already lurking somewhere in the depths of Google, busily breeding a host of personal spiders — ??). I’m obviously quite keen on this positive style site title!
So, here’s a little bit of my personal history, just out of random interest……… and don’t worry, this isn’t the bit where I lived in Keith’s Car, Jonny’s Back Office, Omar’s Cubicle or Mike’s Cardboard Box!
In The Beginning……………
I first took a gasp of English air 6 days after VE Day, in a rural part of Lancashire on the wetter side of the Pennines.
Being born so soon after such a historic and long awaited moment swayed my parents’ minds towards patriotic endeavour. Hence my initials were inevitably declared as VJ, reflecting their hopes for a quick resolution of the Japanese War that still raged on so far from that soggy, windswept Lakebank that was our home at the time!
Being declared on my Birth Certificate as “Victor John” was one thing, but as neither parent really liked “Victor” as a name I was always known as John….. and thus began my lifelong battle with a split personality! – Forever since those far off sulphurous days in the swirling yellow smog of the downwind sector of Manchester’s shadow I have been “Victor” to Banks, Customs and Excise, Doctors’ Receptionists and just about every other official body I brushed swords with, but Jolly John to everyone else – from School Cleaner to Admiral!
Have you come across these books in the “From You To Me” Series? They’re the latest secret weapon that the youth of UK today have in their armoury to tease and torture their worthy elders. You’re just recovering from a hefty dose of Brussel Sprouts at Christmas (because you’ve always been taught to “eat up your greens”), or sliding down into your armchair after a heavy portion of Birthday Cake (does anyone really like marzipan?), when slap-bang-wallop! Next thing you know you have a wonderfully wrapped bundle covered in paper and three rolls of sellotape thrust under your nose – while several little darlings demand that you force your way into it quickly, so that they can get back home to their Weewees, or whatever it is that they prance about with half the day and night! When you finally force your way in (thank goodness for Swiss Army Pocket Knives) to wonder at the delights of the treasured “Prezzie” what do you find????? A book resembling a Diary, which you are then duly obliged to fill with explicit detail in answer to some of the most challenging questions a senior citizen can be asked. (I mean to say – “Tell Me About Your Wedding Day” is either an invitation to Libel, something for after the Readers’ Watershed, or merely the call for a “How the Heck should I remember – ask your Grandma, she’s never let me forget it either!”
Anyhow, I digress a bit….. what was I talking about? Was it positivity or focus? The font I’m using is far too small for my poor eyesight and my slippers keep sliding off as I pull myself forward to peer at the screen. Still, let’s do be positive, it beats standing at the Kitchen Worktop having “Grandma” tell me yet again how she’s finished all 3 of her books whereas I’m only half way through my first. She always could remember all the embarrassing things I’ve done, whereas I was never allowed to mention hers – ON PAIN OF DEATH!
Maybe I’ll get away with one or two here, if I can recall them…….. it was on the Royal Yacht Brittania that one occurred and everyone else had a good laugh but Grandma. We were in Montreal at the time, doing our bit to keep the former Colony civil, when we were invited to one of those Cocktail Parties where we Brits fly the flag and get to talk as loudly as we like in English whilst the natives lurk about speaking French as Frogishly as they can! Oh no, digressing again, I knew I’d used the wrong keyword for this Village homily, maybe I’ll change it to “sorry, where was I?”!
We dressed up, drove to the harbour, climbed aboard (actually I believe it was a rather splendid Gangplank!) and bent forward to cross the Royal threshold through one of those Bulkheads built for the mini sailors of old. as we stood upright again before three beautifully groomed and gold-braid bedecked “Admirals” Grandma’s belt popped off and fell to the floor.
Before I could pick it up for her and head for the Brandy Dry (“Horses Necks”) she scrabbled for it herself whilst I apologised – I felt obliged to – and said “Sorry Admiral, she’s always dropping them”! Neither of us was prepared for the sight of three rows of gold braid heaving up and down as if in a choppy swell, as gales of stifled laughter burst from the red faced august bodies of Naval Blue before us. Just one of life’s little moments to me, it was a grand evening with the Marine Band playing on deck in the sunset – another rich thread in the golden tapestry of life……… apparently not quite how Grandma saw it. My ears still ring today, but I did manage to drive home after many of those delicious “Horse’s Necks” that the Royal Navy lavish on anyone who’ll entertain them!!
Well, long past my bedtime, I still work for a living (if you can call it that). As you just may have gathered, it’s now only just over a month till the 65th Anniversary of VE Day……. so I’m almost 65 and could, in Utopia, consider retirement. But here, I’ve got Grandma to keep happy, so I have to find some way of earning a pension…….. maybe I’ll write about that little village in Herefordshire…….. next time I remember how to get back in here – think positive, I WILL be back!

“Positively” - Byee for now

A Happy New Year to you and yours……..
and here’s to a successful 2010 on Twitter.
I’m sure that you will think this Post a bit late in the day because Twitter has been going strongly for a long time now.
Well, you have a point, but major progress now raises the stakes and Twitter – ing moves up a gear:
- Even Dell gave out data covering the great effect that Tweeting had on their sales figures for the year 2009, so it has to be taken seriously as a marketing platform as well as in its social context! If Dell are all of a Twitter then who am I to argue?!!
- As far as I’m concerned, it is now a much more serious adventure and I’m trying to retrain myself to Tweet more seriously and more frequently than in the past.
- Have you heard of Twittollower yet? It’s a weird name for a system and at first I found it difficult to take it seriously, but hey – we’re talking about Twitter and the world of “Tweeting” here so maybe it’s more of an obvious term than I imagined!!! Anyway, I was alerted to this new product that Tahir Shah and Matt Garret had been working on. I know both of them from Seminars and Workshops we’ve been on and have been impressed before by Tahir’s comprehensive, deliberate, though rather long-winded style. Well in this video I really wanted him to hurry because for once I found myself really desperate to get to the end of it!! But – because I wanted to take action and grab a membership as quickly as I possibly could….. not because I’d had enough of Tahir’s voice!
- Ok, so I used to do this a lot, hence the several hard drives full of Ebooks and Videos, but Randy Smith and other Mastermind Group friends have combined to beat this out of me (to a large extent) so I am now a bit wary of “The Next New Thing” and tend now to unsubscribe rather than buy!!
- Where is this going? Straight to Tahir’s Video – because I want you to have the option of getting in on TWITTOLLOWER while you have the chance. It may not be for you, but it’s another leap forward in automation and looks very useful indeed if you are finding Traffic a hurdle in the way of your progress towards a successful business On Line. This link may be an Affiliate Link, as you’d expect, but I’m only recommending that you give this an appraisal – I think it’s a boon – but then it’s up to you…..
- Take a look here – it worked for me! – http://twittollower.com
Now then – my next post is meant to be a quick assessment of the Phantom Cloaker. I’ll be working on it shortly because I needed it for a particular project I’m working on, maybe even for Twittollower too!! I had been trying to use the Magic Link Cloaker program but so far have not been successful, I still get stuck on some of the terminology in this magical OnLine world of ours! It’s true, I grew up being much better at shooting out the middle of a target (live or plywood) than fathoming out new languages and following written instructions…
Meanwhile – feel free to comment on Twitter or here about Twittollower, we all want more information on its progress.
(See my PS for an update)
PS: -Twitter Update
An update for you on my Twittollower progress:
I set up a new Twitter Account, joined Twittollower and input my Twitter details.
I accessed my Twittollower account (and mistakenly made a few changes to my Twitter Account by adding a few names I wanted in there to be followed).
All went well for a day or so and I saw myself following 30+ very quickly – then my Twitter Account was suspended (almost certainly for following too many names too quickly!).
So I had to start off again with a new Twitter Account, submit that to Twittollower (with my apology), and do nothing but add the odd tweet to that account – BUT NOT ADD ANY MORE!
Here we are on the 24th Jan, approximately 15 days since Twittollower actually began operating on my new account – Result as I type is: Following 1689, Followers 1469.
That’s definitely on course to meet the promised 2000 Follower Minimum in one month so the Twitter Followers are there, and are meant to be in my chosen Niche so that in one way they are “targeted”.
Of course, it’s now a matter of me and my Tweets – and the response to them from my followers – as to whether this is of material benefit to me…. but Twittollower is living up to the promises that Tahir and Matt made when I first looked at it.

I’m keen to get this information out to you so I’m going to save time tonight by putting Rex’s Youtube video straight into this page with his comments in full (and his links too).
It’s a hot topic amongst the whirl of “Where to source Traffic?” queries and I found it very useful, so I hope you will too…….
http://rexharris.ning.com
http://www.linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefid=70352
Ive been a fan of LinkReferral since the day it launched. Its the one free traffic resource that is actually worth the effort simply because of the traffic it creates. Most of the traffic generating resources available online (like traffic exchanges for example) create the traffic they serve within a frameset, which does not produce the quality unique visit that you need. In fact, if you were to use a website or blog featuring AdSense, you can actually have your AdSense account suspended because Google doesnt consider the traffic unique.
A good rule of thumb, in using Link Referral, is to use it DAILY! On most computers, it only takes 20 minutes or so to finish the daily task. Its time well spent if you are consistent with it, even if you only get the unique click through credit. You will generate sign ups and sales into any business, home business or business opportunity with consistent use as well.
When leaving a review, regardless of how much you might not like something, be kind. Do for others what you would want done for you. Regardless of how bad a site looks, you should be able to find something good about it. Dont offer constructive advice unless you know exactly what you are talking about. If the site is that bad, or you cant find anything good to say about it, then go on to another. You only have to review five out of thirty.
Dont forget to add your favorites, thats part of the score for the day.
Participation in the forums also get you ranking credit. Stick to forums you are confident in participating in, if you are going to leave advice or answer questions. Dont be afraid to ask questions, either youll probably get some good advice there.
Remember, whatever you do there, LinkReferral is watching, especially the reviews. The higher the letter grade on your account, the better it is for you. Write reviews that show you actually spend a couple of minutes to learn about the site and you will do well.

Using Video to advertise your site…
Ok – I promised some more info on the value of PLR material – and here it is. I have read up on a lot of this before but found this a very useful reminder myself of just how simple it can really be to get started with Video….. even though I’m using a You Tube delivery means instead of making my own!!
Did you know you can easily create attention grabbing videos using PLR Articles?
If you become a member of PLR.me, the first day of each month sees a new collection of 30 PLR articles, 30 person reflection affirmation, 20 wallpapers, and 5 PDFs available for download in the members area.
Today we want to look at how you can use all of these items to create short promotional videos that can drive traffic to your site.
If you use Windows, all recent versions of Windows come with a free video editing program known as Windows Movie Maker.
This software is designed primarily for video that you shoot with your camcorder, but it can also handle still images and allow you to create slide shows with them.
Another Microsoft application is Photo Story 3. This application is really dedicated to creating slide shows from still images. It allows you to add some photo montage effects such as zooming in and out, or panning from side to side or top to bottom.
All recent Macs come equipped with iPhoto and iMovie – two applications that work well together to help you create slide shows from your PLR.me wallpapers and other still images.
iMovie includes a feature known as the Ken Burns Effect, which does a very good job of creating photo montages with many special effects.
Animoto.com is a web based tool that has been garnering rave reviews. It will take your still images and music you choose and automatically create elaborate photo montages that would require many hours of a video editors time.

I want to include the information below on PLR.me because there is much to be learned from the detail in the ad, even if you choose not to use PLR.me itself to help you with your material on a monthly basis.
Despite the very simplified, and rather irritating manner of the presenter, there are a lot of sound tips in the video below so I do recommend you view it and take notes. If you then decide that this membership WILL be of rapid benefit to your online work then by all means join – BUT remember “Only Buy What You Are Going To Use”!!!
I’m going to include another post on this too because there is another PLR.me video with a few more handy tips for those ready to make their own videos from PLR material……
The True Value of PLR Content lies in using it!!!!
– In this video, we outline 7 ways to make money online with private label content.
1. Post the PLR content to your site. Doing this will increase your search engine rankings and build a name for yourself. The key here is that Google rewards RECENCY, so keep your site current!
2. You can include the private label content in your auto-responders. If you only email your clients once a month, you’re leaving money on the table. You won’t be bugging them if you reward them with quality information!
3. Combine a bunch of PLR articles to create a unique PDF report. Then offer this as a product, bonus, or an upsell. As you enhance your product line-up, your sales will skyrocket… and with PLR content, more than half the work is done for you!
4. You can turn that same eBook into a print-on-demand book to become an instant author. Once you gain this kind of credibility, you’ll find the media will be knocking at your door and your customers will keep coming back.
5. Surprise your clients with a printed version of the PLR content. So the next time you’re holding a seminar or talk, you now have some handouts and worksheets to give out.
6. Record the PLR material as a CD or MP3. You can offer your own commentary about the topic and it’ll only take a few minutes to read the material out loud!
7. You can compile some PLR articles to create a script for a teleseminar. Just set a date and time, and invite your clients to hear you give your talk. The private label content is already written for you!
This is just a quick sample of what you can do with private label rights content.
Once you begin to implement PLR content in your business, you’ll no longer be the bottleneck to your own growth and prosperity. Get out of your OWN way and have quality private label content delivered directly to your inbox with PLR.me.

Anton’s Guru Bypass
It’s been far too long since my last post for you.
Besides being very busy with our Candle Shop and Grandchildren (where do they get all that energy???) I have also been busy working on a series of tests and reports that has proved a much bigger task than I had expected it to be….. I needed to revise some of my opinions and also re-learn some old lessons………. enough though, enough, I’ll get the findings into print here as soon as I can!!
Meanwhile………… this just can’t wait, I have to tell you about it:
Review of The Guru Bypass – and Maybe My Biggest Mistake
The GuruBypass:
http://bit.ly/BypassGurus
Does it live up to its claims, and has it passed my test?
Long before it became a marketable product I’d heard about this system (later named the Guru Bypass) from Anton and Randy -
From the very basic details that Anton was recording I knew he was on to something very unusual………… Of course it then became “Top Secret” and I had to await its launch, along with most of the other Members at More Monthly Forum!!
As soon as I saw the Case Histories in the pre-launch and early bird disclosures I knew that I just had to give this a trial……
Then when I finally saw the Sales Page for The Guru Bypass (GBP) this was rammed home because something struck me immediately…
It said – I could make money first – before I had to start spending!
Now – having spent thousands of dollars on various products in the past, only to learn I had to spend lots more to make them work, this was something that really appealed to me – and how!!! And because I knew that Anton and Randy would not be spinning me a line I really felt this was something I could trust to do the job!!!
Comparing this with many other product launches, the first thing that stands out here is the price.
It’s not the usual $147 reduced to $97 – but only $77 if you buy it now… type of product.
In fact at $47 Anton and Randy do seem to have taken note that the credit crunch is affecting people, and they’ve made it VERY affordable!!
Getting Started:
The Membership Area is well laid out but the first thing I did was download the GBP System pdf – I could hardly wait I can tell you!!
Having already seen the case studies – I was really inspired to get straight into the product and get it working for me. I can’t tell you just how much I’d been looking forward to knowing how this System worked!
Never having come across these methods before I was a bit apprehensive and even though they seemed straight forward I did wonder if I would be able to follow the instructions.
However, after reading the E-book Guide a couple of times I thought I ought be able to follow it through to the end. Then I remembered something……
Back to the Members Area and there of course was a selection of
“Step By Step Video Tutorials” that anyone could follow.
What really pleased me here was that they weren’t part of a One Time Offer
designed to get more cash off me before I had even seen the product!
Doesn’t that normally seem a Rip-Off to you? I’ve been caught by that sort of offer before – it’s easy to forget that it usually comes as a Continuity Clause and before you know it you’ve spent 3 months paying for what ought to be included in the selling price……… Ooops, mustn’t get off on a rant!!
Randy & Anton have included them as part of the package -
which adds hugely to the value of your purchase.
Back to the system:
I can’t give too much away about how it works, which was using parts of the Internet that were entirely new to me, but I can confirm it’s true -
you can use this system even if you have….
- No website
- No Money
- No List.
- No product….
and you can see results within hours not weeks or months!
Could I Do It – Did I Do It – And Did The Guru Bypass Work For Me?
In fact I didn’t get ‘results’ within 30 minutes of setting things up,
it took me a couple of hours to get everything in place, and then a bit longer still to rewrite my material!
I was very slow at first and found the terminology a bit confusing in an area on the Web with which I was totally unfamiliar (many of you will I’m sure already be using it for other purposes).
However, this is where Anton’s Guide (and the Videos made by Mark Orr) really helped me. It wasn’t really difficult, just NEW to me!!
This is one system that is NOT dominated by the Guru’s and where anyone with a little time and effort can start to make an income on the net.
The Guru Bypass System E-Book does go further than just outlining the initial process. Once you are in profit it shows you how to use some of that profit to build a long term business. It isn’t a get rich quick scheme, but does include building a mailing list and other long term tactics you need so you can finally start to reap the benefits from your efforts.
Both Anton and Randy know that having a mailing list is the most important factor for long term stability of any real online business, so although they do show the incomes you can make at the start with just the basic system, they rightly put a lot of emphasis on switching tactics once some initial cash has
been made.
Ok – what was my biggest mistake?
Well, I made two main errors when I started in on this, but the first one is what I will emphasize because if you haven’t previously spent a fortune on EBooks and PLR Products you should NOT follow my example and skip the OTO!!
Ok, I will admit that I didn’t spend long on reading it because I already have a pile of material on my hard drive and I didn’t think that I really needed more.
It could still have been a big mistake for me, and IF YOU make the same one you’ll kick yourself afterwards because you really can use the OTO material to get yourself off to a quick start with Guru Bypass!
I’ve often found that OTO products are not really related to the main product I’ve been buying (despite a lot of hype) and were just another way to
squeeze money out of me. However the OTO that these guys show you is
amazing value.
But – more importantly – I now realize how purchasing the OTO would really fit in with The Guru Bypass System (which I didn’t understand when I was rushing in to get going) – so my advice to you is grab it on the way in whilst you can get it at such a great price.
Let me make it easier for you – The One Time Offer presented is in the form of a ‘Massive’ library of 136 Unrestricted PLR products that can be used with the Guru Bypass system to generate increased profits and at a quicker rate, but that is something easy to decide on for two reasons.
1 – If you already own a heap of PLR , then it wouldn’t be needed unless you really wanted to add to your collection.
2 – The price of the OTO is also a very reasonable $37
So for that amount I wished I’d grabbed it myself there and then! It would have helped me to speed up my initial campaign work, and would have proved an ongoing asset. Having now seen how these can be used with
the system – they do seem to be a perfect fit at a very good price.
Overall opinion:
The Guru Bypass System isn’t really something brand new, but it is something that I’ve not seen any other big marketer using. However, it’s totally new to me, and I’ve been watching On Line Marketing Methods for well over 5 years now!!
This is where the Guru Bypass system wins hands down… Anyone can use it at any level!
The downside is the couple of hours it takes in setting it up, and then the task of having to do some of that again at future intervals. Also, as they warn you within the product – some aspects are under the control of outside influences and can cause campaigns to stop.
There is a full explanation of what to do to restart your process if this does happen to you (I’ve avoided it so far but some of that is just Pot Luck), and this single negative aspect isn’t anything to do with what is taught – just one of those things that occasionally occurs online.
I can hear your minds ticking over now after reading all this, and some are thinking
“So what was his second big mistake?”
Well, I hate to admit it but it was a common error – despite all the warnings, I really had expected this to be simple BAM-BAM-BAM – set and forget…………
The amazing thing is that it IS just that in essence - but it has to be repeated a lot!! I didn’t allow myself enough time in the initial set-up phase to do more than just get started, but you will now be prepared and can avoid this poor bit of planning on my part!
You can also reduce your time and effort if you monitor what happens more closely than Anton was doing when he started using it, but you do have to be prepared to repeat the process many times if you want to build up to better income levels. I’ll get over that mistake, and you can now avoid it.
Conclusion:
The Guru Bypass does what it says on the Tin!
I imagine people with large lists probably wouldn’t spend too much time on this, and if they did, they would jump past the initial stages because they can.
But for the newbie – this does seem to be one of the best start-up systems I’ve come across in years.
Seeing results so early on in using the system will encourage many to keep going, unlike most products we purchase where we just give up too soon because nothing is happening, or we need to spend a lot more cash to make it work.
And this is the strength of The GuruBypass System.
I certainly believe many people will use this as a springboard to regular online incomes, and a lasting business.
For established marketers with large lists – this is probably a product you would have your outsourcing staff set up for you and tweak on a monthly basis for extra list building. Plus it’s something you would probably want to recommend your affiliates get a hold of to add to your income levels.
For people with no list, or just starting out with a small list and growing – this
could well be the product that takes you to the next level!
If you don’t try this out now you’ll kick yourself later when you talk to others who’ve made a sound start On Line by using it!!

Backlinks Made Easy – The Keith Purkiss Way
I have to tell you that Keith’s free offer of his $7 software is a steal – don’t miss it! And if you really want to speed things up with more automation then $17 is a very sound price to pay for the extra that Keith provides. I’m happy to support his software, I’ve seen what it can do!
“Gimme Traffic, and lots of it!!”
So – You’ve got your site uploaded and finally working – now you want to “force” Google Spiders and potential customers to come to you.
The Value of Links
This is a simple post as I’ve had questions asking for a few more basic details, besides the “complex” gems I’ve been covering so sparsely up to now!! So if you just want the Backlink software – rush down to the end for a link.
You will probably have heard of the common term Indexing. It’s really just a method to get Backlinks but just remember that Backlinks are the kings of cool in terms of indexing and traffic.
Backlinks are links from other pages/sites to your page/site and they are sometimes referred to as Inbound or Incoming links. This is akin to a popularity contest, the more links going to your site the better. Google and the other search engines think all these other Webmasters like your site because they are linking to it, so the Search Engines are forced to agree they like it too, and index it – whoopee – more traffic, more eyeballs on site!!
However, remember that Backlinks are only useful if the site linking to you is already indexed itself! So, by leading the bots that regularly visit these already indexed sites straight to your site you’re speeding up your own site’s indexing process.
Linkbuilding Methods
Before I show you a method of getting Backlinks while you watch it happen, here are a few working ideas that you can use as routines to build Backlinks regularly yourself, which will in turn get your page indexed, in most cases at a pretty rapid pace. If you’re already indexed this can continue to improve your position in the search engines or cause the search engines to crawl more of your pages and get more of your site indexed.
Blogging – Jackpot! This is another great way to get Backlinks. When you write a blog, Google knows about it practically before you’re done writing it. Google and other search engines visit Blog sites too many times in a day to count. You can use Blogger.com free of charge, or safeguard your investment by setting up a Wordpress Blog on your own domain / Web Hosting.
When you make a blog posting and casually drop in your site link, you’ve actually created a Backlink. Any blog host that is of any worthiness is indexed in Google and the other Search Engines.
Almost all methods of getting Indexed quickly rely on Backlinks and getting them easily. Blogging is a great way, as is having your friends link to you if they already have indexed sites.
Below are some reputable Blog sites that could be of great use to you. Don’t put a blog on every single one of them, or at least don’t put a blog on every one as well as using the future methods I am going to talk about. It can do more harm than good if you overdo it and appear to Spam any of these sites.
BUT – Six good sites to Blog to about your own Site are:
- https://www.blogger.com/start
- http://www.Blogspot.com
- http://www.360Degrees.com
- http://www.Spaces.msn.com
- http://www.MySpace.com
- http://www.Xanga.com
There are many, many, many more Blogging sites. Some are for just general Blogs and others are for specific types of Blogs. Do some research and you’ll find a lot more with Google etc. Blogging, combined with Pinging, may be the most useful and successful way to get indexed.
It can all be free and really valuable when it comes to getting indexed quickly.
I won’t cover Pinging in this short introduction but I must touch on RSS.
RSS – Really Simply Syndication: – It’s a way to let the search engines and blog hosts know when you update your page or blog on the spot. While RSS alone is useless, when you make use of it with your blog or page it’s just another tool in the arsenal of indexing that you can readily take advantage of.
This isn’t a fully comprehensive guide, it’s an introduction to some important principles and methods to get you geared up so you know what you’re doing and why! The one sure thing about RSS is that it really does work. Always try to include RSS feeds and go out of your way to ensure your methods make use of them.
See the site at http://www.feedage.com for a really useful RSS Directory.
Social Networking: – Bingo, another great source of valued links!
In addition to Blogs you should always include at least a small circle of linked Social Network Sites for your main Keyword Site(s). I’m not going to cover this in detail here, it’s a big topic. However, for your immediate guidance I strongly recommend you research using: -
Be sure to follow this up as the Social Sites are already well crawled and spidered by the search engines and carry high rankings. How does this help? – eg if you set up a Squidoo Lens around just one keyword phrase for the site you link it to, and make it a valued Lens (see instructions in Squidoo.com on this), then it will be well ranked on Squidoo and will also be well placed for the search engines because of the ranking that Squidoo carries itself. This will get you indexed rapidly and prove a real traffic driver, a FREE TRAFFIC DRIVER. Duplicate this for 3 or 4 of your keywords on Squidoo, repeat that for HubPages etc, etc……… and Bob’s your Uncle!! Beware of recent rule changes in Squidoo, but it’s still a valuable tool if used correctly.
Of course there are hundreds of sites besides Squidoo and HubPages so as these two become known and “busy” try some of the less well known sites (Google them yourself) and follow the age old principles:
- Track your activity
- Check what’s working, tweak what’s not
- Select the best (this is the Rinse!)
- Repeat, Repeat, Repeat
Now, the bit you’ve waited for – WHAT!! – you didn’t wait – shame on you, you’ve missed some real gems!!!
For a limited time Keith is giving away a Free Program which will build Backlinks for your site.
In addition to that, he also has a special offer available for only $17 for automating this process. So, you CAN actually watch sites popping up as they are backlinked into your site – truly……..
