Review of Affiliate Espionage
Keyword research is an essential part of any successful Internet marketing campaign. Whether you’ve got a niche blog or whether you’ve got a product-based website, you need to know what the keyword marketplace looks like before you invest in AdWords.
Yet Google doesn’t, by default, provide you with a whole lot of help. Sure, they give you ideas about what keywords to use, but at the end of the day you have no idea what markets are truly saturated, and which keywords have proven successful for advertisers in the past.
Enter Affiliate Espionage. This software for the Firefox web browser tries to give you the kind of real data you need to know whether a given campaign has been successful.
Now, without access to proprietary Google data or an individual advertiser’s campaign data, no one can know for sure how successful or profitable a campaign is. Affiliate Espionage comes close, however. They’ve devised a formula that looks at exactly how long a given advertiser has hit on a specific keyword. Affiliate Espionage works on the idea that the longer an advertiser uses a keyword, the more likely it is that it’s bee successful for the advertiser.
One of the nice things about this software is the help it gives to new users. Not only is there a 47-page user guide available, there are many different video tutorials, all of which point out the features and functionality of the software.
Affiliate Espionage relies on other tools to help it in its task. Rather than reinvent the wheel, it uses data from WordTracker to suggest keywords, for example. It offers advertiser info from Keyword Spy, and even uses Archive.org to pull up landing pages.
While there are truly a dizzying number of features in this software, you don’t have to be a stats junkie to use it effectively. For example, you can set the software up to highlight any of your keywords that have been successful for advertisers for a period from one to 60 days. Yes, there’s plenty of other data available, but the interface provides for simple uses, too.
If you’re considering an AdWords campaign, consider letting Affiliate Espionage help you pick the right keywords and optimize your chances of success!

5 Ways to Get Lots of Non Google Traffic
A lot of “us” focus on Google for traffic… which is smart, but is there a point in which it might be causing more harm then good?
I am not by any means suggesting that you do not focus on Google. There is no doubt that they provide massive amounts of traffic… but what would happen if suddenly Google decided to remove you from their rankings?
Would your site or blog be dead?
Over the past 30 days, the following non Google sources have provided traffic to JohnCow.com:

AdSense Ads Not Showing Up - Here May Be the Reason!
My very good friend, Dean Caporella (is my manager for PortalFeeder.com and a mentor at portalfeeder.com as well… and a pretty darn successful marketer in his own right too) had an issue with Google AdSense not showing up on one of his sites. Dean, decided to send Google a “please explain” and they got back to him with the following…

What is your Business’ Barrier to Entry?
If you’ve run or worked at a brick-and-mortar business, you’ve probably come across procedures or regulations involving accessibility. These usually relate to things like doorways being wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs, or making sure bathroom sinks can be reached by folks with physical challenges.
Some small business owners I’ve heard of become frustrated with these rules and regulations. They complain that they can’t afford the expenses involved, that they don’t have the time to do the necessary updates or that they just don’t like being told what to do.
Politics aside, there’s something here these business owners often miss: these kinds [...] Continue Reading…
