This is a fairly old trick but is working really well for me at the moment – people seemed to have stopped using it so it’s extra effective.

Okay, today i’m going to show you a super cool way of driving tons of traffic to almost any page by exploiting download sites. Using this, you can also gain TONS of exposure to your articles/books on top of getting the traffic to your site.

The first thing we’re going to do, is to convert our e-book, articles or website into an .exe file. To do this, we’ll use a free piece of software called WebSiteZip.

It can be found here:

WebSiteZip

I’m not going to explain how to use it as it’s pretty self-explantory but if you are having problems, feel free to email me.

You can also add your “opt-in” box at the start of the exe-book to generate loads of leads.

We’re now going to submit our exe (software) to hundreds of software directories.

If you don’t have an e-book, website or anything, just use PLR articles. They’re easy to find and since you’re uploading them to software directories, you don’t need to worry about duplicate content.

Here’s a list of the TOP software directories. You should start off my submitting your software to these:

Download.com
Tucows.com
Versiontracker.com
Jumbo.com
Freedownloadcenter.com
Regnow.com
Regsoft.com
5star-shareware.com
Shareit.com
Topshareware.com
Passtheshareware.com
Sharewarejunkies.com
Softpedia.com
Shareware.com

If you’re really lazy, you can use a software called PromoSoft. It’s what i use! :p

This program is CRAZY. It submits your EXE to over 800 software/download sites automatically!

It’s not free though and you can find it here:

PromoSoft

Just follow the instructions that come with PromoSoft.

So, there you have it. A quick and easy way to drive loads of visitors to your article, e-books and websites and build a huge list.

This post is about order buttons. I want to share with you three of my favourite profit-generating sales buttons.

The first, is just a standard, graphic-free, html button that looks something like this:

I use the standard button (non-graphical) on pages when i want a site to look like it was created by a “real” human. This makes it easier for the consumer to relate and “bond” with me. It converts well. You can play with the size a bit too:

Another button that has worked really well for me, and no-doubt for hundreds of other people, is the one famously used by Ryan Deiss. He’s tested this button extensively against others and it always wins:

I use that for any “salesy” page. Converts really well when placed on a long-form sales page.

Finally, one of my all time favourite buttons. I stole it from Apple…

This one works amazingly well on squeeze pages.

Hope you enjoyed this short post. Try the above out and let me know what works best for you. My favourite is still the standard HTML button (maybe i’m old skool!).

A lot of people enjoyed reading the “Millionaire Mindset” article i posted a while back so i thought i’d point you to another one of my favourite motivational pieces. The following video is of Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple). Watch it. It will really motivate you. If you prefer reading, i’ve included a transcript below – he’s not the greatest public speaker.

Stanford Report, June 14, 2005
‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down – that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960’s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Note: This article was taken from my CovertClub membership site. It was one of the first tricks i released – it may no longer be as effective as it used to be but it’s definetly worth a try!

Here’s how you can get hundreds of twitter followers in minutes, without using ANY software (and without adding thousands of people and hoping they’ll follow you back!).

Welcome to another CovertClub weekly issue. Today, i’m going to show you a KICKASS way of getting tons of Twitter followers in minutes without using any of the expensive software the “gurus” keep trying to sell to you.
I haven’t got time to go through the benefits and explain how revolutionary Twitter is and why you should use it. Do a bit of research yourself and come back if you don’t already know “why” you want followers.

This killer “trick” is so simple and yet so powerful – by the end of the day, you’ll have a ton of new people following you. And you don’t have to go around following loads of other people. All you need to do is follow a few “key” people – let me explain how it works…

Getting Followers at Twitter can be pain in butt, you can use some tools to automate your work but it sucks, because not everyone will follow you back. But with this trick people will follow you, no need to beg or follow them..these people will find you and follow you.

The “Trick” Step By Step:

1. Go to this site.

There you will find a list of the top 100 twitters. These are people who have the most followers. You could keep going and look at the “Top 250, 500 etc.” but i like to stick to the top 100 – the big “playas”.

2. Select 10 people from that list. Ten people you want to follow. Sometimes i pick the top 10 people on the list or sometimes i go lower down – it doesn’t really matter. (as long as they have a large amount of followers). To get started just pick top 10 people.

3. Open 10 tabs (FireFox RULEZ!) and in each tab have each profile open. So:

Tab 1 = Profile 1
Tab 2 = Profile 2
Tab N = Profile N

You should have 10 tabs open with 10 twitter profiles (the 10 profiles should be the top 10 twitter users for now).

4. Now follow all of them. Follow the 10 twitter users you selected.

5. Now here’s the super-cool trick…

A few things happen when you follow them:

* They follow you back automatically (they have software that does this) and that means you get the top spot on their “Following” list on their main profile page.
* You also get the number one spot on the “Followers” page.

For that brief moment while you have these number one spots, you get followers. Why? Because these guys have thousands of people on their Twitter pages at any given time and you’re profile is being featured there. A lot of people who add these guys also start adding the followers (they also usually think the ones at top a more important!)

So, how do we exploit this?

Simple, we follow and unfollow these guys every 5 minutes. Each time you get about 20-60 followers without having to follow any of them! Clever eh?

Within 30 minutes you’ll have 200+ followers and you only had to work about 2 minutes (the time it takes to follow and unfollow 10 people).

This is a “bug” and it works all the time. I have 30 profiles open and I just follow them and after 5 minutes I unfollow all of them, I do this for few hours a day and then I get 500 followers. I stop and continue the next day.

In just few days i got 2600 followers -not to bad. It also looks better when people see i’m only following 30 people. And then it just snowballs from there…

I also made a macro with JitBit, so now i have 50 tabs on my Virtual Machine and I am following and unfollowing these guys every 5 minutes.

This works all the time, whats even funnier, YOUR PROFILE gets a high PR LOL..

Your profile really does not matter – it can be of a chick or a guy. I make girl profiles just because i get more followers (damn twitverts!)

No need to pay 500-600 USD for a bot. This is REAL SHIT THAT WORKS. And no GURU will share this trick with you..

This one article is responsable to a LARGE part of my online success. Read it – a few times. Very powerful. Full credit goes to “Allen Says” for writing this.

Washington DC was nasty as could be. As I sat on the bench waiting for my bus to arrive I couldn’t wait to get back to the backwoods of Louisiana. I had almost sat in a pool of blood that was on the far end of the bench and I was ready to go. I truly hope people coming to visit our country don’t make DC one of their stops.

Anyway, before my bus arrived I was approached by a nicely dressed elderly gentleman in need of directions. I told him I had no idea what he was looking for as I too was just passing through. To this day I’m not sure why, but we started talking as if we had known each other for years.

We talked about life, people and eventually the conversation turned to business. It was here that the gentlemen saw something in me, I suppose, that made him feel like sharing what he said was the greatest secret ever told. He said everyone had heard it but almost no one paid any attention to it, even though it was the one thing that could bestow a fortune upon any man or woman who used it.

My ears where definitely starting to perk up. Something about his tone told me this man knew from whereof he spoke. And I wanted to know what the secret was with a passion. He must have sensed my anxiousness because at that very moment he gave me a warning that was almost a scolding.

I’ll try to recount here as best I can the rest of our conversation…

Man: “Do not make the mistake of shrugging off what I am about to tell you because you have heard it before. No doubt you have heard it already from at least one person in your life. You may have even heard it many times. Do you have any aversion to religion Mr. Says?”

Me: “No I don’t. I don’t believe many preachers know what they are talking about or even what they are trying to teach, but I do know the Bible has a lot of great knowledge in it.”

Man: “Good. I would not want you to discount what I am about to tell you because it does come directly from the Bible. But its applications reach far beyond what most people can conceive of. It will take thought, intense pondering on your part, to begin to get some inkling of its power.”

“This simple secret, when applied to business, will draw money to you as easily as water runs down a mountain. Even a fool can apply it and prosper. When applied to relationships, it will create more friends than you can handle” (laughing heartily)

Me: “What is it, I’m dying to know now?”

Man: “Patience Mr. Says, Patience. I will not give it to you as it has always been repeated by fools who have no respect or knowledge of what it even means. No. I will give it to you another way.”

“What type of business are you interested in?”

Me: “Well, I’m dabbling in Mail Order right now. I would like to place ads and sell books.”

Man: “Fine. Fine. Mail Order it is. Let me tell you how to create a fortune in this Mail Order. All you have to do is create the product you want to buy“

Me: “I don’t understand”

Man: “You will”

“You see, you are your market. Whatever you want, there are millions of other people wanting the same thing. That elusive product you are looking for is the product millions of others are also looking for right now.”

“All you have to do is create the product you want to buy, the product you yourself have been looking for. Once you have this product, what would you want the sales message to say so that you know this is the product you have been looking for?”

“If someone else where selling this product, what would you want the ad to say, what would get you to buy this product?. When you have that answer, that is the ad you want to create.”

Me: “I see” (hesitantly)

Man: “See the business across the street here? Pizza. I could triple the business that place does inside of 10 minutes. That’s what I do by the way” (smiling)

“All I would do is walk into the business as a customer. I would sit there and imagine all the things that could be done to me that would make me a loyal customer to that business for life. What could they do for me that would make me feel this way?“

“Once I had the answers to that question, I would implement them across the board. Every customer would be treated the way I had imagined. And without any doubt what so ever that business would triple the profits it now makes.”

Me: “I think I know…”

Man: “Wait, you don’t really know anything yet. That’s the problem with people. They brush something off because of where it came from or because they heard it many times. Leave that for fools. You won’t “know it” until you have deeply pondered it and put it to use.”

Me: “Ok”

Man: “What I am telling you has power undreamed of. The simple words used to describe it cannot contain it. Does not do justice to it, and has been prostituted by blabber mouths who let wisdom fall off their lips with not even a single brain cell grasping what they are rambling about.”

“What I am telling you is Law, not man’s Law, but the very Law’s of nature herself. It’s the way things work and those who truly understand it rise to the top in every field known to man.”

“What people don’t understand is that it applies to everything. This secret can be applied with virtually every step you take, everything you do, every word you speak and everyone concerned profits by it.”

“If you are a writer, write like you would like to be written to”
“If you are a salesman, sell like you would like to be sold to”
“If you are a speaker, speak like you would like to be spoken to”
“If you want more love, then love like you would like to be loved”
“If you want more friends, be the friend you would like to see”

“When you infuse everything you do with this secret it takes on a magical power. Businesses dominate the market, books become best sellers, leaders attract huge and loyal followings.”

“How would you like it?”
“How would you respond to it?”
“How would it make you feel?”

“Those are great questions to think about every time you do or create something. You will get into the hearts and minds of everyone who comes under your influence if you will first think how you would have it done to you.”

“I’m certain you already know the quote from the Bible I’m referring to. But don’t repeat it, just ponder it and pratice it.”

Me: “I do. But I’ve never thought of how it could actually apply to everything in life. I too was one of those fools who passed it over without so much as a second thought. I really want to thank you for sharing this with me.”

Man: “It’s been a real pleasure talking with you Mr. Says, have a safe journey home.”

———–

And with that, he was gone. The funny thing was, as I was riding home on the bus I realized I never got his name, nor do I remember ever giving him mine. Maybe he saw my luggage tag. I’m not sure. It really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I’ve profited from that advice for the last 15 years.

I’m not even really any good at it either and I’ve still pulled in huge amounts of money. Especially from the Internet. This is one place this knowledge can really shine. People have always asked me my secret. How come the Warriors is still here, with the same products, with all this competition, after all these years?

This one simple secret is the answer. I always ask myself how would I like to be treated by this company? What would I like to see? What would I like to get? How would I like to be dealt with?

Those simple questions are all you have to answer. When you do get the answers, put them into action and watch what happens.

Create The Site You’ve Been Looking For
Write Like You Would Like To Be Written To
Sell Like You Would Like To Be Sold To
Talk Like You Would Like To Be Talked To
Deal Like You Would Like To Be Dealt With
Create For Others What You Would Like Created For You
Excite Others The Way You Would Like To Be Excited

I’ve been a big fan of video for a long time. Such a great way to connect with people on a different level. Something to add instead of just “plain” text.

I’ve spoken about the “YouTube Method” – ways to make a few hundred dollars a day with YouTube. I’ve discussed where to find viral videos. I’ve shown you how to get your videos to the top of YouTube and now i’d like to show you a very easy way to MAKE viral videos yourself. Videos to use on your own sites or to promote on YouTube etc.

All you need to do, is make a free account at animoto.com

Find 10 images. Funny, creepy, inspiring, disgusting, sexy etc. Anything that will intrigue and entertain the average user.

Then, you pick a song. They have a bunch of existing music tracks but you can also upload your own.

Animoto will then take your pics and edit the whole thing together to make a really nice video. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is and how good your videos look.

I’ve used this to create videos for some of my “internet marketing” sales pages with pics of cheques, cars, boats etc. and it increased conversion hugely

You can also add text and watermark the video.

Once you’ve got yourself a video (if you’re using my example of picking some interesting photos) then select the “upload to youtube” option. You can then use YouTubeLoader.com to download it and re-upload it to all the other video sites. Use TubeMogul.com to do this.

Then, use my previous articles to make sure you get to the top of YouTube and start making some cash. If you picked funny pics or interesting pics, the vids will spread themselves.

Why not do a “Weekly Funny Pics” video. Add them to a blog. Then flip the blog for a few hundred dollars at the end of the month. Do it again and again with different niches.

Take care

P.S. I’ll soon be posting the most valuable PDF you’ll ever read. All about taking action and the THREE ways to make money online.

Sign up to my list below for more tips, tricks and systems without the usual BS.

Forums are VERY useful for marketing purposes. And are very entertaining to market on.

I made my first sale using a forum and have since used forums to build backlinks, build a brand, promote products, develop a reputation, drive traffic and learn a ton of information.

I’m going to be honest. I “use” a few hours of my day just browsing forums, reading posts and trying to help out. It’s probably not the best use of my time but i always seem to find plenty of “gems” lurking around.

So, if i use forums so much, i might as well make the most out of it. Even just helping out in itself will build your brand and your reputation.

Two days i posted a topic on BlackHatWorld, one of my favourite forums. I shared some good information that helped a lot of guys. Since then i’ve received over 200 unique visitors a day. Not bad.

More importantly though, the community members helped me improve my article! Taught me some stuff i didn’t even know. How cool is that?

Over the next few days, i’ll be sharing some ways you can increase your site’s exposure, rank, reputation etc. just by spending time on forums. I’ll also cover how to properly set up “Sell” threads on different forums.

But today, i want to stroll over to the dark side…

I’m going to share a quick technique i’ve used in the past to generate some very very targetted traffic to my site. A technique that has generated quite a few sales for me.

WARNING: If you use this on BHW. I will personally hunt you down

So, when you go to a forum, you are presented with certain categories. You click on these categories and they are often sub-categories. These categories and sub categories, in some forums, can go on for ages and what you’ll find is that you will reach very specific areas of the forum.

We’re going to take advantage of these targetted sub-sub-sub categories in forums.

When you go one of these, you will see that in most forums there is a section underneath saying “Current Online:” or “Currently Viewing:”.

This is a list of users who are currently browsing this forum and who therefore likely to be interested in that specific topic.

Why don’t we send them our targetted offer ?

All you gotta do is go through the list and send them a personal message. You can even get programs to do this for you. I did this when i first got started online and it only took me about 30 minutes to make a sale.

$40 for 30 minutes work…not too bad!

A lot of the IM forums have caught on to this but if you look around in other niche’s you’ll see that actually, this feature is quite common. I believe that on most forum packages this feature is enabled by default.

So, there you have it. A easy way to get targetted traffic and buyers to your site.

Nothing pisses me off more than a badly chosen domain name.

There’s some ridiculous stat that says a domain name is registered every 2 seconds. No wonder so many are complete rubbish! Arguably the domain name is one of the most important aspects of your business and it’s imperative you get it right.

I’ve included these examples of funny domains for your own entertainment. We’ll get into the meat of it just after.

• Experts Exchange – www.ExpertSexChange.com
• Therapist Finder – www.TheRapistFinder.com
• Pen Island – www.PenisLand.com
• Who Represents? – www.WhorePresents.com
• Via Grafix – www.ViagraFix.com
• Italien Power Generator – www.PowerGenitalia.com

Obviously, i’m guessing most of you won’t make ludicrous mistakes like these when choosing a domain. However, it IS important that you follow these three rules. I’m going to brake em down to you one by one. They all revolve around the KISS (keep it simple stupid) theme, word of mouth potential and memorability.

Here’s a tool i use constantly. Every time i need to find a domain name i use this. It’s free and is called Instant Domain Search. It lets you search for domains and tells you instantly (no waiting) whether they are available or not. Stop playing around with sites like GoDaddy!

Thou Shall Always Use Thee Dot Com

I’m probably going to get slaughtered for saying this but if you want to be recognized, trusted and remembered, you should ALWAYS buy a “.com” domain.

Why? Because that’s what social conditioning has trained us to recognize. I never feel safe buying form a “.li” or “.info” domain simply because all the other “major” sites run of “.com” domains. “.com”, i believe, was one of the first domain names around and so the world has been “geetting used” to these for a long time.

“.com” domains are also far easier to remember. In fact, most people will assume your site is a .com when typing it in. Regardless of what they were told. We’ve just become so acustomed to “.com”’s. If you don’t agree, post your comments. I’d be interested to hear what you have to say.

If you can’t get the .com, the only other two kinda acceptable endings are:

• .net
• .org
• .name (if you’re doing a blog or something about yourself).

Also, there are a few exceptions. For example, it’s okay to buy and brand “PlayOnThe.net” or “ListenTo.Me”

I’ll be posting a “.info” trick soon too

Thou Shall Never Use A Number

Never ever use a number in your domain name unless you can get the number in both forms i.e. “3″ and “three”.

Why? Domain names which include numbers can be a hassle to spread via word of mouth!

“Errr, go to “just2laugh.com, that’s with a 2 not a to.”

“A to? or a 2?”

“A 2. Like the number damn it”.

It’s much easier to just say “go to laughnow.com” or any domain without a number.

Thou Shall Never Use Hyphens

They look so TACKY. I don’t know if it’s just me, but hyphens in a domain name screams amateur.

Unless you’re buying a domain purely for SEO purposes then please don’t use hyphens.

Hyphens make the domain harder to remember (”Hmm, where were the hyphens?”) and just complicate things. Keep your domains simple and to the point.

Obviously you should consider much more than what we’ve discussed so far. Does your domain sound catchy? Is there any alliteration? Chance for including a mascot? etc.

The above three though are what i consider to be my golden rules when picking out a domain name. If i were you, i’d follow them too.

Here’s exactly how i got my old LetMeAdvise blog to a PR 5 level in just 3 months. On top of producing good, quality content on a consistent basis, i was building links using the method i’m about to show you.

It’s simpe really.

Take a look at UberAffiliate.com

It’s a PR 4 blog and if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you’ll see the “Top Commentators” section. (bottom left)

The number one spot on that list is taken by a guy with just 6 comments!

6 comments only !!!!!!!!!!!    and he gets a link straight to his site.

So, all we need to do, is post 7 comments and we get a link from the front page of a PR 4 blog And it’s a do-follow link!

One comment = 45 seconds max.

7 comments = no longer than 6 minutes.

(you don’t even need to get the “top spot”. Any spot on the list will get you the same “PR Juice”)

In fact, i’m going to go do it now! I’ll be right back.

.

.

Back. Go to UberAffiliate.com now and you’ll see i have the top spot. Mighty Dave King at number one.

I timed myself, it took me 7 minutes. But i posted an extra 2 comments because i got carried away!

You’ll be surprised at how many blogs have this widget.

Warning: I’m not suggesting you spam the hell out of every blog in your niche. I’m just saying that if you’re going to read someone’s blog, and they have a “Top Commentators” section, you might as well post some good comments and get some backlinks!

I was doing this on Jonathan Volk, Shoemoney, Cash Tactics etc.

Combined with quality content, Google quickly bumped me up to a nice high PR level.

Best part was, it was actually quite interesting reading the posts and the commenting and i wasn’t expecting Google to be so generous!

Also, having a link on the front page of the blog and in a lot of the comment sections will drive a lot of traffic to your site. So, it’s a good idea to do this, even if you’re not doing it for the pr!

Stay tuned though, i’ll soon post a sneaky trick you can use to get the No. 1 spot on almost any “Top Commentators” list in 30 seconds by posting one comment.

Take care,

-Dave King
