Let me give you a brief play by play of what when on. I sat down to give you a play by play of what went on… But to be honest with you… I don’t remember too much about the order of events.  I just remember what we did…

———————————————

Saturday 14th

Arrived in NY around 2:30.  I was exhausted so I caught a cab to the hotel and crashed for a couple of hours.

Benny Tejeda was staying in the hotel with me so I called him up to let him know I was in the room.  He was mid transit to the hotel.

Benny ended up meeting up with me at Rue 57 with Brian (Winley) and his business partner AJ.  Brian I’ve known since December and has really taken off in his affiliate marketing.

At some point I met up with my buddies Ian Fernando and AdHustler.  We ended up heading on over to “Faces and Names”.  Somewhere along our little 2 block march we ran into some kid that… well… seemed to want to argue the whole night…Anyways, at some point, NickyCakes met up with us at “Faces and Names” and well… We took a picture for my mom.

Yeah… That’s for you mom… For some reason… My mom has an obsession with Nicky.  So when I saw him I had to get a picture with him… And boy does she love it. Here’s her comments left on the pic in Nicky’s Facebook account (Yes… They are FB friends…)

AdHustler hit that one on the head “This is getting weird”.

After we left “Faces and Names” we meet up with Jason Rubacky and did a little more… Hanging out :)

Sunday 15th

Benny and I headed to breakfast/lunch around 11:30.  The restaurant in the hotel has some decent food… But for a $20 meal I would rather eat street meat (Food vendors on the corners of Manhattan streets).

After breakfast we headed over to the “Meet Market”.  If you aren’t familiar with the Affiliate Summit, the meet market is the perfect opportunity to walk around, see who will be exhibiting, and to make brief connections with people that you plan on meeting with during the week. During the meet market I bumped into several affiliate that I have known online for months online, but never had the opportunity to meet them in person.

Lunch came courtesy of Eric at ClickBooth!  Thank you Eric :) There we talked about none other than… Well… I don’t remember… It was sports at one point…

The meetup202 group in NY had a get together. Lot’s of good contacts there.  John Hasson, his wife, and I talked about Mormons, milk, sprite with lime, and missions to South America.

After the Meetup202 event it was time to eat so Ian, Brandon and I headed over to Capital Grille for Ian Fernando’s famous “Affiliate Dinner”.  Other notable names include Morgan Thomas aka HeavyT (creator of 2 girls 1 cup!), Ryan Gray (Super Affiliate Twins), Brian (DailyConversions.com), Mike Chiasson, Wes Mahler (Creator Tracking202), Brandon Hoffman (AdHustler), Bryn Youngblunt, Ian Fernando (of course… it’s his dinner), Matt Wasserman, and the crew of Kitara Media (Sponsors for the dinner).

Dinner was good.  Probably the best I’ve had in all of my Affiliate Summits.

After dinner we hit up a rooftop party… Don’t remember who sponsored it.  But met up with some really good people.

The night was still young…   This was NY of course.  So… We headed out to where the Elite Clicks Media crew was…  Their hotel :) There we hung out, talked marketing, and well… had an overall good time. I got to hang out with some good friends that I’ve known for a long time and I even got to meet some new people. NJ, Steve Howe, Thy, Justin, Greg and Kim Davis, Tyler,  Ryan Machara, Raphaela Bazalgette, Luke Samples, Ricco, Jon Fisher, Nicky Papers and well… too many to name. At some point in the evening the hotel security came up and kicked us out… So we went to none other than… “Faces and Names”.

Do you see that guy in that last pick on the far left?  He’s some random french dude.  No one could figure out who he was and how he got there.

Anyways, I could be missing some details in there… but you get the jist of what happened.

Monday 16th

FOOD… When you go to these events and you stay up till 4:30 in the morning you tend to sleep for a LONG time.  Man was I starving by the time I woke up.  Luckily for me so was the Elite Clicks Media team and Ian Fernando. We… it was time to head over to Old Castle and grab some food.

Our service was terrible.  The poor waiter knew it too.  It was so bad we had to call the front desk to send reinforcements.  But in the end we ate, talked, and left full.

When we got done eating I had a couple of meetings with AMs.  I walked around the show for a little bit to catch other people I knew.  Stopped for about 30 minutes and talked with my good friend Ruck (Owner Convert2Media).  It was nice catching up with him after these last few months.  I also met up with Ryan Eagle (Owner EWA Private Network) for a few minutes and had a chat at some point (might have been during the meet market).

Later that day I was conducting a round table on PPV advertising.  It went pretty well. People were crowding all around just to hear a couple things about PPV advertising.  It was a lot of fun though.  There were networks, affiliates, and merchants all sitting in to listen to some PPV tricks of the trade. The only problem I had was that I was still tired… and my voice was almost gone.  I was going to record it but my flip mino was dead when I got down to the round table.

After the round table I went to grab some food.  Wish I could remember where.  Probably street meat.  Headed over to Morgan’s affiliate get together. Then the NeverBlueAds party (weak…), then took a cab across Manhattan to the ClickBooth party. Met up with Brian (Winley) and well… Had a good time.  Street meat, parties, all the fun stuff.

Tuesday 17th

Woke up hungry again… Called around to see what everyone was doing.  Finally got a hold of Brian (Winley) and his partner AJ. We headed over to Old Castle to grab a bit to eat and talk business.  We had some really good conversations.  I was explaining to Brian and AJ the best way that I have found to deliver email without using a third party autoresponder. It was a very good productive conversation.

After lunch, I headed back to the conference, hung out in the press room to get some work done (way behind) and then… headed home

———————————————

Overall… ASE 10′ was a huge success.  I made plenty of new connections to help my business grow and I cultivated connections that I have made in the past.  These event’s aren’t necessarily just a place to learn… These events are essential to your networking in this business.  It’s not about what you know.  It’s all about who you know.  AND… Who you can leverage or who can leverage you.

Now.  Many of you have sent me emails asking me what I have been doing for the last 2 months… And I’ve been getting alot of questions about the case study… Well… We’ve had 15 conversions… That means we’ve generated a total of $15×27 = $405.  On average we have generated just about 30 visitors a day from free online marketing methods.

So… What has caused me to stop blogging about it?  Well the main reason is that the site has been copied several times.  The copying has been soooooo bad that even the analytics have been transferred over to the doppelgangers. Unfortunately I can’t give an accurate representation of traffic statistics.  But… 15 sales off of 100% free traffic is better than nothing right?

So, where do we go from here?  Unfortunately I will not be continuing the case study. That should be apparent from my 2 months absence.  If I was to move into PPC on the case study then someone will copy the campaign.  Of I was to move into PPV then someone would copy the campaign… Some people have just ruined it for the rest of us…

Anyways, these last couple months I’ve been pretty busy with my coder while all of this has been going down.  We’ve been hard work tweaking a piece of software that we use on a daily basis.  I won’t go into too much detail about it. So… I hope now that I have a little bit of time I can start blogging with you about some extreme tactics that I have been using online.

Anyways, I won’t take up too much more of your fathers day.  To those of you that ARE fathers…I hope you have a great day today! Remember… All that we do online is not for US but is for our FAMILIES.

To Your Success!
Kris Trujillo

When writing your articles the common misconception is that they must be very informative and based solely on your specific niche. While the majority of articles you submit should follow protocol, don’t be afraid to throw in some fun and interesting articles that will grab the readers attention.

Also, if you have dipped your hand in this type of traffic generation method before, you know that MANY of the articles out there are low-quality dime-a-dozen type articles. It may seem like the more the better, but that does not mean you can not write rich, interesting, and exciting articles. If you want people to read them and come to your site. Take some time and write well.

Now, there are several places where you can post your articles, but I personally recommend article directories above all else. Article directories are places where you can get your articles published quickly and easily for free.

You can submit your articles to dozens of different directories,  but here is a list of directories I think you should start at:

www.Ezinearticles.com
www.GoArticles.com
www.Articlecity.com
www.Isnare.com
www.Amazines.com
www.ApprovedArticles.com
www.SubmitYourArticle.com
www.Articlesbase.com

These directories will allow you to publish your articles and post a one-way link back to your website. Before creating your link, think about what page you want to send traffic to. For example, do you want to send your readers directly to your sales page? Or do you want to send them to a page with more information to warm them up a bit. This all depends on your product, and should be split tested to see what converts the best.

So there you have it. Just a simple breakdown of Article submissions. With some intellect and moderate writing skills this can and will generate free traffic to your website.

Kris – One of the great things about article submissions is that people will often scrap your article to fill in content on their website. This will place a link on their site back to yours… 1 article submitted to an article directory can turn into a handful of inbound links to your site!

The simplest way of doing this is using Facebook and Myspace.

MySpace is a great medium because it is full of younger adults who are eager to become an adult; whereas, Facebook is full of adults who are employed and generally have a college education. You should know your demographic and choose accordingly.

The first step of joining either of these communities is to create an account. The process is simple and takes less than 2 minutes. Once you have created your account, you can access the creation page, where you can begin to promote yourself and your business on your profile.

For now, let’s skip right to searching for other people’s blogs and commenting on those blogs. I will give you a breakdown on how to do this.

The first step is to search for the different blogs about your business. We will use “surfing” as our example topic.

1. Start by going to http://blog.myspace.com. You should see the following page:

   

   MySpace’s blog search page. From here, you can locate all MySpace blogs through searches.

2. Search for your niche topic. In the case of my example, I have entered the word “surfing” and then searched for it. MySpace’s engine returned 13,400 results:

   

   A sample of some of the profiles that contain surfing blogs.

3. Move from blog-to-blog until you find one that both receives traffic and is relevant to your particular niche, as well as your goals. In my case, I found a surfing blog that may be worth commenting on occasionally:

   

4. Select a blog to comment on.(Some bloggers require you to be there friend before you can comment). If necessary, become the blogger’s friend by sending a friend request.Once they have accepted your friend request, you can begin to comment on their blog.
5. Be sure and compose a constructive comment that is useful to the blogger and its readers. Under your comment be sure and include a link to your site. (This step is VERY important, as it would be a waste of time if you do not drive traffic back to you).

This is a great method for pointing one way links towards your site and can drive a large number of visitors to your site. Additionally, it has the potential to increase your site’s SERP. This process should be done regularly as it keeps you involved in your niches community. It may be faster and simpler to have the comments written elsewhere, like on Word, and then simply copy and paste them onto the blog page.

In addition to MySpace and Facebook blogs, you can find places to leave comments in Technorati and Yahoo! Blog Directory, you should also consider checking out the various blogs on http://www.squidoo.com and http://hubpages.com/.

There has been very little traffic to the site other than what has come in from Cashtactics.net.  This is because nothing has been done by these guys that I was trying to help.  So… I’m going to put my personal assistant Randy on the free traffic patrol for this project.  Everyday he is going to spend about 2 hours working on free traffic for the site.

I am also going to put him on blogging duty for a bit.  He will be jumping on here and giving some free traffic secrets for those that want to learn.

Here is an image of the traffic stats from Google Analytics.

NOW… I know it is showing decent traffic… 50% is coming from cashtactics.net and about 45% is coming from some douche that copied the site.  They never switched out the google analytics code…

Anyways, Randy will have a post to you tomorrow morning or tonight.  He will also be loading up several posts in there ahead of time and I’m going to make sure you get at least two new free traffic sources a week until he is done.

I NOW OWN OPTINCOMMENTS AND I’M GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE!

Yeah you heard that right.  You can now own optincomments for Zero down and Zero monthly.

Let me explain to you a little about this plugin… When someone comes to the blog and leaves you a comment you can essentially send them directly onto your autoresponder.  Imagine with me for a second that we have a blog in the “Internet Marketing” space.  Now, when someone leaves a comment on the blog they can be subscribed to my mailing list as well.  This is a great way to continue a relationship with your readers.  Send them a thank you email and maybe a link to a survey.

The possibilities are really limitless here.

I sunk in about $4k more after I purchased this product to make it really top notch and seamless. So… Without wasting anymore of your time… You can grab OptinComments.com FREE by clicking this banner:

Volks a good guy infact… He is such a good guy that he put together a 17 section book with tips and tricks for affiliate marketers.  I’m not lying to you when I say I even learned a trick from the ebook.  I suggest you pick it up and read what you can from there.  >>>CLICK HERE<<<

I don’t get anything for sending you off to Volks book.  You will see there is a referral tag there…. That is just so he can know he is showing him some love.

If you don’t know about Volk he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.  I recently had the opportunity to meet with him at Affiliate Summit West in Vegas.  This guy knows his stuff.  He is young and very successful online bringing in around $300,000 a month in affiliate commissions.  Anyways, to make a long story short… Pick up his guide if you haven’t already!

So here is your update to the series.

First thing I did a couple of weeks ago is I put the site together. Not just a bunch of random pages like it was before, but now the site is hooked up and working. The first page you hit is the squeeze page.  We used aweber for the autoresponder.  After they sign up for aweber they get pushed off to a secret tip.  This secret tip should be good enough to keep them coming back for more. At the bottom of the secret tip they are presented with a link to the sales letter.

For this product we used paypal as the payment gateway.  If you don’t know how to set that up you can ask in the members forum.  I’ll be more than happy to jump in there and help you out. Anyways, after they purchase the product paypal will push them off to a thank you page.  This thank you page should only have a little thank you message and another autoresponder form.  This form will be for a different mailing list.  Not the original list we had people sign up to before.  This is how we separate our buyers from the rest of the group. Once they sign up they get pushed on to a page so that they can download their product.

The URL for the thank you page and the download page should be some weird combination of numbers and letters.  For example your thank you page could be www.domain.com/thankyoualakajlewjc9393aj9309cj409jcojrrlkcjsli4jje.html . This will keep people from guessing the link.

Then you can use a robot.txt file to block the thank you page and the download page from being indexed into the search engines.  Here is the code for blocking pages from the search engines.

# robots.txt for your site

User-agent: *
Disallow: /thankyoupage.html
Disallow: /downloadpage.html
Disallow: /orthewholefolder/

Ok if you didn’t understand that User-agent: * means every search engine spider/bot. Then you are telling them to not have access to specific pages or folders… It’s really easy. Just upload that into a regular .txt file, name it robot.txt and then upload it into the root of your website.

Okay once the site was all set up I sat down for a couple of hours and I showed the two guys how to do some basic FREE marketing.  We went over yahoo answers, blog marketing, forum marketing, and youtube video ripping.

You can see we have begun to gather visitors to the site. Here are our results for optins from aweber.

So, we’ve begun to get some results.  I’m sure some of those optins come from readers here.  I promise… there isn’t any reason for you to sign up so please don’t if you don’t have to we would like to try and keep these numbers as close to accurate as possible.

We have yet to make a sale, but we are in there working hard to drive traffic to the site. Once we get some more data I will begin to tweak the site to make it convert better.  I’ll also be installing a click map over the site.  This will help me determine what actions I need to take.

That’s it for an update.  I’ll get with these guys tonight and tomorrow.  I’ll make sure to have something for you on Thursday!
