Google Traffic Estimator – A must have in your arsenal!

I’m actually amazed that I’ve not used this tool to date!! Especially considering that this comes straight from the Google family and like everyone interested in SEO, I follow Google products big time. But sometimes, things like this just slip out!

Anyway, for all those people marketing on the internet, one of the holy grails is PPC – especially Google AdWords, and unless that is a part of your campaign, you are not really serious about what you do. Irrespective of what people may say, PPC works, and if you are new to the field of online marketing, you need something like that to get started right.

But the problem is that even your mistakes cost your direct money as you have to pre-decide how much you are willing to spend. That is where Google Traffic estimator comes in – and it is absolutely free – you don’t even need to have a Google account to check it out!!

You can visit Google Traffic Estimator and enter the budget you have in mind. You can also enter a daily budget if you’d like. Then enter the keywords, the languages and the countries and territories you want your ads to feature in. Once you do that, just click on submit and Google will come back with a realistic estimate of how much each click could cost you for those keywords in those regions. It will also tell you approximately how many clicks you may receive per day based on your budget and how many ads might be served.

What this does is it gives you a fabulous idea of whether the budget you have is sufficient. It also tells the new internet marketer about whether he will receive enough visitors to break even, by using this strategy.

Most people who have used PPC will agree that a tool like this will save you hundreds of dollars. Otherwise, you will just have to pre-decide a budget and go out on a limb. Most people who argue that PPC is not worth it have done exactly that and that is why they are where they are. Check out Google Traffic Estimator. It could open a whole new SEO marketing strategy for your business.

Google rocks!!

Whale Done – Review

There are very few books which leave an impact years after being read, and Whale Done – The Power of Positive Relationships is one of those few.

Written by self-help expert Ken Blanchard and his team, this wonderful book – like most of Blanchard’s other books, is a small tale which connects beautifully into what we face each day in our real life.

While books like Who moved my Cheese and The One Minute Manager are based on fables, Whale Done is based on something more relatable – the true story of Shamu the Whale. The opening statement of the book itself takes us into the psychology of Shamu and the other performers on the show, and through a story, Blanchard takes us behind the scenes and gets us to meet the trainers who work with these wonderful animals.

Like he always does, the author uses a story of a manager, who is having trouble at work, and gets her to interact with the trainers at the Whale Show on our behalf. Like always, the questions are extremely poignant and very valid for all supervisors and managers – all over the world.

Speaking through the trainers, the author gives us wonderful little snippets of wisdom, and by the time we complete the book, there is a lot of change in the way we perceive our teams. Like the name suggests, the book talks about using the power of Positive Relationships to better performance all around, and the good thing about this book – when compared to others in the genre – is that the suggestions are all do-able. But then, when we read Whale Done, we don’t feel like someone’s giving us suggestions, and we actually feel like reading a story. But by the time the protagonist starts implementing those thoughts into her daily schedule, we start forming plans to do the same at work the next day!

If you’ve not read the book, you certainly should! Buying a hardback would make sense as there will be a lot of readers you will want to pass this on. There is also an audio book available here in case you are more of the listening type.

Newer ways of losing weight!

There are literally thousands of e-books and online products which promise users that they will counter that most horrible of weight loss problems – reducing belly fat. However, the truth is that most of those products are half truths or whole lies, and though the intention with which they’ve been written is good, they simply are too ordinary to work for everyone reading the material.

But then once in a while, there comes across someone who has really cracked a whole new solution based on his personal experience, and that product is Truth about Abs, and that man is Mike Geary.

Now, this program has been used already by over 263,000 people and that should mean something! Geary’s program works simply because it also includes a constant motivation chart which we can see each week and that keeps us going. When you look at the Truth about Abs homepage, you’ll see Mike Geary’s pix and you will see that he is a true weight loss champion. On his journey, Mike has discovered the best fat loss foods and has also invented a whole new set of unique exercises focused on losing belly fat.

But like we said, what sets the whole thing apart is the constant motivation and training access which is included in the Truth about Abs program. Unlike many other weight loss products, this one is not a monthly recurring product, and that means you just pay $ 39 once – for lifetime and including all updates. In fact, when we come to the check out page, Geary does not allow us to buy the program off the shelves immediately by paying the money. What he does instead, is to offer us a 21 day program at $ 4.95, and let us decide whether the results are visible or not. If they are, we can pay the remaining $ 35 and buy the whole program, or let it be!!

Like most products reviewed on my site, this one also has an 8 week money back guarantee if we don’t feel that the investment is worth it.

Believe me – this is truly a one-of-a-kind belly fat loss program, and one you should check out. You can check out Truth about Abs here.

Kindle goes global!

The Kindle has been a long time favorite of mine – meaning I’ve been following it right from the day it launched and have been keeping a tab on all the different models that have been coming out.

But the latest Amazon Kindle all the older variants with a single stroke – it is now globally usable, and wireless is pre-activated in most countries in the world! There are also several international magazines including those specific to certain countries that can be downloaded and stored on a Kindle, making it a truly global accessory – probably the first of the gadgets to have truly earned that sobriquet.

All the great features of the Kindle – including the screen that is immensely readable even in harsh sunlight, the size of under 1/3 rd an inch, the amazing internet speeds which allow us to get a book wirelessly delivered in under 60 seconds, and so on, are still there. The classic Amazon Kindle – the one with a 6″ screen – is now available for a very affordable price of $ 259 and that is already pre-loaded with global wireless. Since Amazon is now shipping all over the world, it is quite simple to order!

And for the real die-hard readers who want to go electronic, the larger Kindle – DX variant comes with a screen of 9.7″ and seriously looks like a modern magazine straight out of star trek!! That one can store 2500 books in electronic form (the smaller one can store 1500, and that in itself is huge!), and has several more amazing features.

If you’ve not yet checked out the Amazon Kindle, it is high time for you to do so – right now!!

Government Car Auctions – What I’ve always been looking for!

Everyone who knows about this will want to get in! Actually, when we were younger, we used to talk about getting access to seized government vehicles at throwaway prices – especially jeeps were what we were interested in, but we never really got close to one of those auctions.

Today, thanks to the internet, there is a way by which every single person who wants to buy a car (which means most of us reading this article) can have access to government auctions and see if he can get his hands on a new car seized for whatever reason! Then there are police vehicles and other government vehicles which have to be sold off due to rules that they can’t be in service for more than the stipulated period, and they go into government auctions too.

But the question is, how do we get into those auctions? Here is the solution.

The first thing I loved about this website is that we can check out for free the vehicles which recently got sold in our zip code area.  I found that some wonderful Chevrolet vehicles got sold for as little as $ 4000, and that is seriously good! Then we need to register for a very affordable sum of under $ 40, and there is a lifetime access to all auctions on it. Even if you don’t ever buy a car on the site, just the fact that you can gawk at all those shining cars being sold off for a pittance makes your membership worth it If you get around to buying a car, you make up that amount several times over anyway – and what I love is that this is a lifetime membership – meaning whenever I want to change my car, I can access their database – which is really great!

Apart from that, there is a 30 day money back guarantee on the membership, which is refunded without question if we don’t find the site useful. That is really nice of the guys who manage that site.

Finishing this up, I found a Mitsubishi Galant on offer at $ 1100, a Ford E-350 van for under $ 2000, and several other vehicles (which I liked) at such prices. The membership is absolutely worth it!! Another thing is the exceptional customer service this site has – though it provides us with listings from hundreds of repossessed car auctions from all over, it handles the customer service of all those auctions right from this one site, and that is a great option. Try it!

Have you seen the Avatar store?

Most of the people who will read this article would already have watched the magic Avatar of James Cameron. If you haven’t, first watch it and then come back here!

Though we are not talking just about the movie, I can’t but mention how much I enjoyed the wonderful creation of this wonderful director. Like most movie buffs, after coming back home, I came online to check out for other stuff which would make the experience even better and then came across a whole page on Amazon dedicated to several lines of products inspired by the movie. For starters, here is the link.

Not only does the store now have collectibles and action figures from the film (which by way, look quite awesome!), but they also have some amazing new video games and books that take you behind the scenes. The good thing – which I love the most – is that the pricing of them all is quite good – for instance, the books are at under $ 10 and the action figures start at under $ 10, and the apparel range of ‘glow in the dark’ t-shirts also start at $ 10.

If you have kids at home, you absolutely should make sure that you give this store a visit. Since the Avatar craze is only getting stronger, you probably won’t find stocks of the popular toys and games in a few days from now! Check it out here – http://thereviewsite.info/avatar

Now, all you need to do is to rub a lamp!!

Or almost rub a lamp!!

If there ever were an easier way to become successful as an affiliate, I’m not aware of it! And i’ve been online for quite a few years now.

A lot of people try out several kinds of strategies to become ultra rich as an affiliate, and the truth is that atleast 95% of all those people will never see a single dollar come out. Of the remaining 5%, atleast another 90% will filter out in a month or two, not necessarily having made a fortune. It is only the remaining very few people who will stay on to become successful affiliates and a tiny percentage will be called ’super-affiliates’ and will consistently make 6 digit incomes as an affiliate.

Another truth, however, is that becoming an affiliate is an almost certain way to make money online. Then why don’t more people become rich that way? Because the path is to be discovered anew by each affiliate for himself (or herself). One of the key learnings along the way will be to create a site that converts visitors into customers and 99% of all affiliates never discover that! That is why I say that Affiliate Genie is the absolute blockbuster when it comes to becoming successful as an affiliate.

For a one time fee of $ 97, the founders give us a software which churns out websites – ready made websites, including all the bells and whistles needed for optimum SEO visibility – as if they were child’s play! It is just a matter of putting in your own codes and your sites are up and running in no time at all! Everything is taken care of by Affiliate Genie – from creating your hyperlinks to ready to use sales copy to RSS feeds, Sitemaps (so that Google loves your sites even better) and lots more!

The latest version is even better – it automatically submits the site to a huge number of ping sites each time you update it, and there is also an in-built social bookmarking feature so you can submit to all the relevant sites for a greater exposure. For most people, creating a website using Affiliate Genie takes under 60 seconds, and that is why it is as easy as rubbing a lamp!

Well done, Chris and Matt; You’ve got one winning software here!

Finally, like with most products reviewed on this site, this one also comes with a 60 day unconditional money back guarantee and that makes it win-win for you. Also, unlike a lot of other products in the genre, Affiliate Genie is not a monthly billing product. You buy it once and get lifetime updates coming to you free. Check it out – absolutely worth it.

If you are a new affiliate, take it for granted that you will be spending quite a bit in site building, hosting, creating content (even if you write part of it yourself), submitting it to all the relevant places, doing SEO, and all that stuff. $ 97 is a big cost saving for you, as it’ll do all these and more without any effort from your end.
