As we have come upon the close of 2009 I had to take some time (like everyone else) to reflect on what I have accomplished thus far. While I am quite pleased with the goals I have reached I am also disappointed with what I have not accomplished.  So instead of telling you about the monetary goals I accomplished in 2009, I am going to tell you what I am going to do different in 2010.

1. I have purchased HUNDREDS of domains with the hopes of eventually putting something on them. I literally spent over 5k in URLs alone.  That’s a substantial amount of money just sitting there. So in 2010 I will not be renewing the majority of the URLs.  In fact for the domains that have nothing on them I will be setting up my own version of a parked domain and then selling them off to private buyers and domain auction sites. In the end I’ll be keeping about 23 domains… No more domain buying sprees for me.
2. I need to blog more… What more can be said.  I blogged a total of 65 times in 2009.  That comes out to just over one post a week.  That’s not enough if I want to make the blog bigger and better. So to start out I am going to blog two times a week.  I’m going to try and get blog posts out on Tuesday and Thursday of every week. Some weeks will be more.  By the end of the year I want to be blogging four times a week.

Well… Its October 1st now so I thought I would get this out to you right away :)

Here are the top 5 posts in September.

• 40 Minute Video on Niche Research- Once again…  This is a hot hot video.  I frequently get told about how people are refered to this video by their affiliate managers.  This is an EPIC video! It’s a great video that covers some very basic techniques in researching your niche before you jump in to it. Watch it… and please leave a comment!
• CPA Offer Search- This is a new one to the top post list.  It’s actually not a post but a tool for searching CPA offers.  Here you can compare different offers in the same niche. There are currently over 25,000 different offers that can be search with this nifty little tool!
• Check out Revolution 202 Right Now- This is a post I wouldn’t have expected to make the list.  But it did.  With a couple thousand visitors too… I was surprised.  Anyways, this post is short and just explains how the Tracking202 team has started their own CPA network.  Not only do they provide you with quality tools to use in your marketing efforts, but now they provide you with a place to find offers.
• 9 Marketing Methods- I think this is the only post from September that made the list. This was posted on 9/9/2009 so I had to play on the 9s theme and post 9 different methods for marketing. This post very briefly touches on PPC, SEO, Media Buying, Social Marketing, and more.
• The Landing Page Example-Just a simple little example of a very basic landing page.  This isn’t rocket science, but you can get an idea of some of the landing pages that I use and have success with.  The biggest contributor to this post is 5 star affiliates.  Thank you Linda for sending people to the blog :)

Nuff said.

Hey guys and gals. I totally forgot to share up the top posts for June and July so I’m going to jump in and do the August ones right now. The last set of tops posts was shared in June for the top 5 May posts. So with out further adieu… Here are the tops posts in August.

• 40 Minute Video on Niche Research- I get more comments via email about this one video. It suprised me how many people didn’t know about Google Insight. I’m also amazed at the lack of using Google Sponsored Search. It’s a great video that covers some very basic techniques in researching your niche before you jump in to it. Watch it… and please leave a comment!
• The Famous Question- In all honesty I didn’t remember this post… Until I read it. I still get asked the question posed in this post. Now that I remember this exists… I’m going to begin referring people to read it when they ask the question. The main point of this post can really help you grow your business 10 fold.
• $25,000 drawing – What would you buy if you won?- This is the only post actually written in august that made this top 5 posts list. Here I was giving some information on a contest we are running with Karaktr Media for $25,000. Everyone can win. This isn’t one of those contests that is slanted towards the “biggest fish” in the industry. The great thing about this contest is that the sign-up forum is now even shorter!
• The Landing Page Example!- This post is always in the top somewhere. This is a very basic example of a landing page. I’ve provided a link to download the actual landing page from within the “Free Reports” section of the blog.

This contest has been canceled due to lack of interest. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey guys. This has been a long time in the works. I’m just going to jump right into it an explain whats going on. For about 6 months or so I have been trying to find a network that would allow me to do a contest for $25,000. This isn’t just any old contest though. This is the real deal where every affiliate has a chance to win. Not just those affiliates that make the big bucks. Let me explain.

Karaktr Media and I have teamed up to present a contest that awards a ballot to individuals for certain actions. Each ballot will allow the individual to enter in a drawing for $25,000 at the end of the contest. This is our way of “leveling the playing field”! Those affiliates who don’t promote in big numbers will easily be able to generate one ballot a day, while those who generate huge numbers can earn up to 5 ballots a day. Does this not make it fair for everyone? Now you have a chance to win even if you are just starting out in this industry!

So who exactly is Karaktr Media? How are they different from other “networks”?
Well to be honest with you … They aren’t a network. They are the advertiser. That means that they own the products. They create them. They distribute them. This is good for you because you can potentially generate a higher payout than the network can give you because there is no middle man. You can also take advantage of their REOCCURRING COMMISSIONS!!!…WTF… Yeah it’s weird… I’m not going to lie… Reoccurring commissions for pushing Berries or Pipe cleaner (colon cleanser). Can you imagine how much you can generate from this one little perk on a month to month basis? Crazy I know… Oh and… Payouts START at a whopping $42!

Here is the link to the contest:

Hey guys and gals. I just wanted to give you a heads up… Last Wednesday I did an interview with Andrew Wee. You can check it out here: “Friday Podcast: CPA Marketing Tips With Kris Trujillo”

Andrew Wee does a weekly friday podcast and this is the second time I’ve been on there. During this podcast we talked about this blog post: “What I like to see in a CPA network”

The first podcast that I did with Andrew can be found here: “Friday Podcast: SEO Strategies With Kris Trujillo”

Check out those interviews and leave comments :)

Don’t forget to join our members forum. We have a lot of good people in there. Also, if you are in there but not in the PPC Mentoring program the forum might look a little slow. But I promise… There is stuff that goes on in there!

You heard that one right. Thanks to the guys at Tracking202 Cashtactics.net has their very own Offer Search! You can check it out here: CPA Offer Search. OR you can use the nifty little search box in the side bar!

There are over 60 networks included and over 13,000 offers to search through.

Bare with us as we work on blending this nifty little tool into the site. We are in the process of getting the blog re-designed by Unique Blog Designs so for now the page is going to look plain. But the results are there and they are looking good!

There are many reasons why you would want to use a tool like this. Here are the top two reasons.

1. It’s quick and easy to find offers that are related to your niche. Instead of calling up your affiliate manager or searching through each of your networks individually you can just plug in a keyword hit submit and get instant results. This is a HUGE time saver.

2. It’s always important to see what networks are running the same offers. You’ll often see networks giving different payouts for the same offer. GREAT… But don’t go for the highest payout. You should always test the offer against all the networks that you can. Sometimes you will have an offer that converts better with one network over another. It’s weird how it works and I’m not going to get into it… But you get the point.

Two great reasons for you to check out our new little tool. Here’s the link again: CPA Offer Search OR remember… You can always use the sidebar for searching!!!
