Untangling
the World Wide Web Linda
and I had a great vacation in I
allowed myself 20 minutes each day to check email, but I did not respond
since there were no emergency messages. It
was relaxing and we are ready to go again. We are composing this issue of Boomer eZine on Sunday (5/20) so be aware that we are running past the normal deadline. We debated on publishing this week, but here it is.
Pictures from our vacation.

Suggestions and Comments This is the
answer to Mike from our Eons retirement jobs group (http://community.eons.com/groups/group/retirement-jobs)
who asked how to drive traffic to his travel website at http://www.ytbtravel.com/136505. Mike, I have not been
ignoring you. Linda and I
have been vacationing in I notice that you
are using a site where you are an affiliate.
This may be harder to drive traffic to than if you had your own
unique website. Have you
thought about creating your own website? I do not know if
you are a subscriber to Boomer eZine (www.boomer-ezine.com), but Linda
and I have written many articles in it about driving traffic to web
sites. My first
recommendation is to become an author and write articles about your area
of expertise. These will get
circulated on the article sites and the links in the resource box (bio)
point back to your site. I
recommend starting with ezinearticles.com.
I just checked and there are six categories on travel on that
site. After you have
about five articles (the first article is the toughest), let me know and
I will connect you with a man in If you want to
build your own website and not be an affiliate (or you could do both and
use your own site to drive traffic to your other site), I recommend Site
Build It. Yes, I am
affiliate of SBI, but I am also a user of SBI for my websites.
I practice what I preach (Talking about preaching, today is
Sunday, by the way so I guess I can preach - LOL). There are many
successful SBI users in the travel business.
They have learned to carve out niche areas in the travel business
which you will have to do to get the search engines to send business to
your site. To check out the
SBI travel info site go to http://travel.sitesell.com/boomer.html. Mike, I invite
you to become a subscriber to Boomer eZine.
Much of what is written in it has to do with promoting websites
and attracting traffic. Thanks for your
interest. Let me know if you
have any additional questions. Sincerely, John
Howe If you have anything for this
section or you have a suggestion for a topic for an article,
please go to http://www.boomer-ezine.com/Suggestion_Form1.htm
and give us your input. With
your input, we can improve the Boomer Video eZine. Google
Cash Detective – By John Howe BREAKTHROUGH
– that’s what I call it!! Chris
is a man who genuinely helps people on the Internet.
His message is not “get rich quick”.
Rather, he tells you in detail how to make money in the PPC
arena. He shows you examples
on how to do it. He tells
you that you will have to work hard, but you will be rewarded if you
stick with it. I remember from
“Google Cash – Third Edition” his theme was exactly this – try
some PPC campaigns. Watch
them to make certain that you do not lose a large amount of money while
you are learning the business. If
you keep trying, you will succeed in the Google PPC business. In
the original “Google Cash”, Chris explained how to use Google and
set up Adwords campaigns that sent customers to affiliates where they
purchased goods from which he received a commission.
In 2003, this was easy (“low hanging fruit”). As people
caught on, the low hanging fruit became much harder to find. Google
Cash – Third Edition was released in early 2007.
We wrote a review of it in Volume 1 Issue 45 (http://www.boomer-ezine.com/V1I45_021607.htm).
The key concept that
Jeremy Wilson, Chris’ associate, taught in his part of the Third
Edition was to find a successful campaign and copy it.
He went on to tell how to find a successful campaign and monitor
it to see how successful it was. I
personally checked this technique out, but since I have a very full time
day job, I decided to postpone getting seriously into the PPC affiliate
business until I retired and had more time.
I still have some PPC campaigns running, but not at the scale
that I planned for the future. Well,
now I can get into the PPC business and have my day job too thanks to
revolutionary new software that Chris has developed.
This software will monitor competitor’s campaigns and tell you
if they are profitable. If
they are profitable, you can then jump into the campaign for the same
keywords and grab the business for the keywords.
The software will then automatically transfer the information into your
Adwords account on Google. This
saves you a lot of time at the keyboard!! Chris says that
he taught a 15 year old Mexican girl who speaks limited English how to
use the software and she made money in the first month. I
am a member of Chris’ Adwords Mentor group.
This is a subscriber only website that Chris operates where he
posts the most current information about Google.
There is also a forum for people in the PPC business. Chris sent the
email about his new software to me as a member of the Adwords Mentor
group on 5/17.
Since we just got back from vacation, I just got around to
reading it. WOW!
Did it get my attention! I
downloaded the free special report from Chris titled “Google Cash
Strikes Back” that you can download and read that covers the history
of the Google PPC business from 2003 to the present.
He then explains the new software. The
great thing – you can download and read it too. He has a really
interesting video on the page where you give your name and email address
to get the report. (I have
been associated with Chris for three years and I know you can trust him
with your email information.) I
watched the video all the way through.
It has some great photography and is not about the Internet but
rather about the lifestyle that Chris enjoys.
He is a “surfer dude”, but he is a VERY smart
“surfer dude”. If you do not
want to watch the video, enter your name and email address and click the
button to get the free report. The link to watch
the video and/or download the free report is http://snipurl.com/GCDETECTIVE If you are
already in the PPC business and feel safe,
you shouldn’t!
The new software that Chris has created will take your profits
away if you do not use it to protect yourself. I
recommend that you read the free report and watch the two videos about
the software. This is all a
pre-launch for the software. It
is not yet released and the price is not published. Chris says, “The software will be
reasonably priced, nothing like the ridiculously high priced products
we’ve all seen lately”. That leaves a lot of latitude for a final selling price so we will wait
and see. The one thing we need to be aware
of. Google
used to limit software packages like this to 1,000 accesses per day.
If this is still the case, this software may not be as attractive
as it sounds. I have posted
a comment on Chris’ blog about this.
We will see what answers we get. In
the meantime, do your homework and read the report and watch the videos
so you will be ready to make a decision about the software when it is
released. You
will see this quote by Perry Marshall, author of “The Definitive Guide
to Google Adwords”, in Chris’ free report.
Perry said, “The Google Cash method is the safest way to enter
a market …. literally the
world’s fastest business opportunity …. you can jump into a new
market in as little as 15 minutes. No
inventory, no emails lists – you don’t even need a website”. I
have long been a proponent of PPC as a great retirement job.
I have not jumped in since it took too much time to do manually.
I plan to get started with this new software immediately once I
check it for possible limitations that it might have with Google. Let’s
study it together. I will
keep all readers informed about what I find. Read the report
now at http://snipurl.com/GCDETECTIVE Do your homework. Let’s be ready to go when Chris releases his new software that promises to be a PPC breakthrough. On
the flight from “Untangling the World Wide Web” is
an interesting article written by Christopher Dreher
about the stunning innovations of the Web.
He also writes that the patchwork development has caused some
insurmountable problems. The Internet was originally created in
the 1960’s by the U.S. Defense Department.
By the 1980’s the National Science Foundation realized the need
for networking so the universities and scientists could easily
communicate. In
the 1990’s the Internet “went public” and moved rapidly to what we
have today. The
problem is that this growth was unregulated which has given rise to all
types of applications that may or may not work together.
Also, the Internet is a security nightmare. The Internet was created for
researchers to send emails to each other.
It was never designed for the volume that Spammers have created
with all the unsolicited mail selling virtually everything. It
was created for static, hardwired computers, not for the wireless
environment that has evolved. The
demand for videos and other wide band applications was not part of the
original design. The article
states, “If just 1 percent of the DVD’s that Netflicks sends to
customers everyday we downloaded, we would need a tenfold increase in
the current core capacity of the Internet”. A group of scientists at Stanford met
last month to launch a research program called Clean Slate to
reimagine the basic architecture of the World Wide Web.
They are not trying to fix what we have today.
They are trying to determine what it should look like in fifteen
years. A
man with the fitting name of Guru Parulkar is heading this project.
He is currently director of programming at the National Science
Foundation in Some
of the projected changes might be better wireless spectrum allocation to
improve the speed and reliability between handheld wireless devices such
as phones and PDA’s. Improving
network security would save billions of dollars spent preventing spam,
virus attacks, hacking and other problems.
The Internet could then be used for its original goals. Concerning security and reliability,
Professor Nick McKeown, an associate professor at Stanford, made an
interesting statement. He
said, “If air-traffic control were run over the public Internet, then
I wouldn’t fly”. The ultimate impact of Clean Slate is
not known.
Its supporters do not think it will replace the current Web
entirely. We may see a
parallel system to satisfy some of the problems on the current public
Web. I don’t know if
you have heard of the Warrior Forum, but it
is a well established Internet marketing forum.
It celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Ten years on the Net is an eternity. I recommend that you browse the forum. Join it and participate if you feel so inclined. http://warriorforum.com/forum. There is a lot of good material on the forum and some heavy hitters frequent it. We hope you enjoy
this quick issue. Coming
back from vacation on Saturday made this one a little late.
Until next week, stay tuned. John and http://www.entrepreneur-ezine.com (http://www.boomer-ezine.com/Amazon_Page.htm)
