More Money, Less Work Using AdwordsDigger

A lot of people are trying to make money using Google AdWords to sell stuff or collect opt-in info. Not all of them are succeeding. And a LOT of them are missing out on BIG traffic increases because they’re afraid of or simply don’t understand AdWords’ “Placement Targeting” (formerly known as the “Content Network”).  Before Google “re-invented” this aspect of AdWords advertising, it was a lot more difficult to use, and ended up generating some horror stories about “out of control” campaigns.  Google needed to get past that stigma, so they not only re-invented the functionality, they renamed it as well.  It’s much better now.  But you still need to know what you’re doing if you’re going to make it work effectively for you.

A lot of folks who give AdWords a go are failing because they’re trying to do everything on their own when there are great tools and help available.  Tools like AdwordsDigger, which REALLY harnesses the potential of Placement Targeting.

Here’s how it works:  Plug in the keywords you’re advertising for, and AdWordsDigger automatically locates high quality sites that are running Google AdSense ads on those keywords.  It then tells you the TRAFFIC potential for each site by displaying the Alexa Ranking, and even tells you what ad formats are being used!  Select the sites you like, push a button to save the selected website list as a text file, and plug that list right into your AdWords Placement Targeting campaign!  You’ll be advertising on those targeted sites for a fraction of the search network costs.  The download page (links are below) also has a tutorial video that shows how it works.

This is not a black hat tool! It simply automates what would take you hours and hours to do – if you could do it at all. Just plug your keywords into the software, and get dozens — if not hundreds — of targeted sites that will help you make money faster.

There are other products and software that claim to be able to do this…and, some might actually be able to do it….for a price. See, all of AdwordsDigger’s competitors expect you to pay for their product when AdwordsDigger is being given away for free!

Did you want me to repeat that last part?  OK, I said free.  And I do mean free! One hundred percent absolutely, completely free. No purchase required. No mail-in rebates. Do you understand?  Free.  F-R-E-E.  And not ” free* “, either.  No asterisks, fine-print or “gotchas”. No, it’s not a demo, or a free trial. When you go to here and download it, you get the complete full version:

You’re not stupid, so you know there has to be something in it for these guys or they wouldn’t be giving this away.  AdwordsDigger is one of a suite of tools in the “PPCKahuna Membership” package that they have decided to make public (and did I mention FREE?). It only takes a minute to download (depending on your computer’s speed).  For your investment of download time you’ll get lower overall costs-per-click and a higher conversion rates on your AdWords campaigns, no matter what your niche may be.

These guys are hoping that you’ll love the tool and get interested in the other things PPCKahuna has to offer, which are NOT free.  But you’re in no way obligated to buy ANYTHING to get AdWordsDigger.  The PPCKahuna stuff looks pretty cool, but you don’t even have to LOOK at it if you don’t want to.  You STILL get AdWords Digger for FREE, even if you never cast an eye on anything to do with PPCKahuna!

When I started the Info-and-Tools.com site, one of my goals was to find FREE tools for you that can really help you.  This is definitely one of them.  I installed it myself and now I can’t WAIT to start exploiting the Placement Targeting capability I’ve been avoiding for too long.  This thing really WORKS!!  Give it a try.  I promise you it’ll help you.  And it costs zero, zip, zilch, nada — so you’ve got zero, zip, zilch, nada to lose!!

I’m sure everyone is aware of the current economic situation.  But many are not aware of how serious it could get.  Spending time & resources now to be able to create income from home could be a tremendous benefit down the road.  If the economy continues as it’s going, many companies could be cutting back, so “normal job security” (if there is such a thing anymore) is tenuous at best.  So what you’re doing here could be a very important investment in your future.

But there are other things you could or should be doing as well, that may be even MORE important!  I have created a forum where like-minded individuals (we’re a small group at present, as the forum has just begun) get together to share thoughts, ideas, plans & strategies related to preparing in many different areas.

Rather than trying to explain it all here, there’s a post on the forum that gives the basic reason for its existence:

http://www.info-and-tools.com/Economic_Meltdown

You are welcome and encouraged to join.  If you follow the link above, you’ll see a “Register” There may not be a lot of time to prepare for some of this, or it may never become the meltdown we fear it could.  Better to be prepared and not need, than to need due to lack of preparation!  Besides, everything that we’re planning to do would be useful even without a meltdown!!  It would just be absolutely ESSENTIAL in the even the meltdown does happen.

Thanks!

In case you don’t know, XSitePro is “The Internet Marketer’s alternative to Dreamweaver, Front Page and ExpressionWeb” (their tag line).

I’ve been advised of a limited time deal on XSitePro v2.0 (the latest release) and wanted to let you all know, in case you’re interested. But first I want to tell you a bit about my own experience with XSitePro (XSP) — the good and the not-so-good. I want you to make an informed decision.

First-Hand v1.0 Experience

Initial “Thumbs Up”

In its original version (v1.0), XSitePro created quite a stir by being the first full-featured website development application that was specifically designed for Internet Marketers. It had a lot of features that dealt with the kinds of things Internet Marketers need to deal with all the time. Things like tracking affiliate programs, easily inserting AdSense code, creating “Johnson Boxes”, etc., etc., etc. The other thing that was cool about it was that you really didn’t need to know HTML to create an entire website! One-page sites or complete content sites with complex navigation could all be done using the easy & intuitive user interface.

I bought v1.0 and used it quite a bit. This was back in, oh… late 2006, I think. I was very inexperienced with HTML, and frankly I wasn’t very good at it. So XSP looked like a fabulous idea to me!! I used it to create a few one-page affiliate product promotion sites and a few bigger “content” sites. They worked fine and looked fine. Certainly no worse than most of the sites out there created by “professionals”. All was right with the world.

The Excitement Wanes…

But gradually things started to get not-so-right. I kept building on my HTML knowledge, just because I wanted to understand it. The XSP sites/pages worked, but I didn’t really understand how or why. And as my HTML knowledge grew, I’d think of things I wanted to do to my XSP sites, but couldn’t. Little “tweaks” I wanted to make, etc. The problem was that XSP sites are completely re-generated each time you change them through the user interface. All the settings you input are analyzed and applied, and the application creates the entire website “from scratch” based on your design settings. That’s how it “protects” you from having to know HTML, but it’s also what keeps you from tweaking the HTML if you know what you’re doing.

Now granted, most Internet Marketers probably don’t give a hoot about HTML or the cool little tweaks and code snippets I learned. Most would be VERY content to have the XSP application generate very decent sites that provide info & graphics, “deeper educational material” where required/desired, and point potential customers to related products using their affiliate links. But I guess I just developed a hankering for “slinging some code” and wanted to do more with HTML. I liked being in control of all the little details of the site. So I gradually shifted away from XSP sites to hand-developed HTML sites. Now mind you, these were mostly one-to-three page affiliate sites — nothing really deep or complex. But they worked for me and I enjoyed slinging the code.

Introducing XSP v2.0! The Arrival Was Deafening!

Fast-forward to mid-2008, and here comes XSP v2.0 — along with all the attendant hype of a large-scale new product release. But I have to tell you, some of the changes they made for 2.0 were really cool! And I LOVE the new web 2.0 look of the templates!! They’ve improved a lot of the v1.0 “core functions”, and added some pretty neat new gizmos. There’s a forms wizard, graphical navigation menus, audio/video wizards, enhanced HTML snippet insertion capability (oh yeah), even the ability to schedule pages for publication over time! They’ve also designed in a function that will create a second version of any of your sites in a format suitable for displaying on mobile devices (phones, PDAs, etc.). I have not messed around with any of the “design for mobile” stuff (by hand or by XSP). But I do know that it’s becoming more and more a “wave of the future”. So eventually I’m going to need to get on that bandwagon. Point is, even though I’d become something of an HTML junkie, this new release was pretty tempting. So yes, I bought it. And I played with it. And it’s really quite good. If you’re not into slinging HTML code, it is very, VERY good!

The “Bottom Line” from My Perspective

I’ll be honest with you here (as always). I can’t see using it for all my sites. I’m 99% sure that I’ll still be hand-crafting my mini-sites. Not because XSP can’t do those (it can). I just find it more fun to sling the code on the small sites. And there is a little more structure to developing sites using XSP than I would normally apply on mini-sites. But I can tell you that I will be using XSP v2.0 for any large(r) content sites I develop! Version 2.0 has overcome enough of the “shortcomings” that were inherent in version 1.0 (shortcomings in MY estimation) that I can’t see any problems using it for my larger sites. In fact, I’m sure using it will PREVENT problems!! There are plenty of places to plug in HTML code to satisfy my HTML “urges”. And as I said — I REALLY like the new templates!

Anyway, there you go. My thoughts, feelings and experience related to XSP (v1.0 and 2.0). If you’re going to do primarily mini-sites, and you’re very comfortable with HTML, and you ENJOY spending time doing the coding thing, you probably won’ want it and probably don’t need it. But if you’d rather focus on other aspects of Internet Marketing (copywriting, product development, niche selection, keyord research, yada, yada, yada), then XSP v2.0 would be a great tool to free you up from the technical side of getting your sites up and running. And if you’re planning on developing CONTENT sites, you’ll REALLY want to take a good look at it.

The “Deal”

I said at the top that there’s a deal going on that might interest you. Right now (probably because the frenzy and sales volume have slacked off after the new release launch period), they’re taking $100 off the price. And that’s not $100 off of a $1,000 price tag. That’s $100 off of a $297 price tag! That’s more than a third off! It’s pretty crazy. But it’s a great deal. I honestly don’t know how long this whole discount thing will be going on. They’ve tacked on quite a few decent-looking bonuses as part of this deal too, including 50 more of those cool templates!

More Info

OK, I’ve given you my take on XSP. Here are a few links that will give you more info — from a little to a LOT. I recommend you look at them in this sequence.

• Video Overview (Videos are easy to watch. This one’s not quite 7 minutes long.)
• XSP v2 Brochure (Gives you a good overview of the features & functions of v2.0 — it’s only 7 pages.)
• Feature List (Features are also in the brochure, but this list has more detail and compares against v1.0. It’s about 11 screens of detail).
• Webinar (LOTS of information & insight here, but it’s about 86 minutes long! However, if you’re seriously considering buying, it’s a pretty good investment of your time).

And check out the home page — you can see the bonuses that are part of the package, and order if you’re so inclined.

Keep in mind — they’ve got a 30-day money-back guarantee on this! If you think you MIGHT like to give it a go, just get it and take it for a test drive! Thirty days is PLENTY of time to decide if it’s something you like or don’t. If you don’t like it, just tell them, and you’ll get your money back. I’ve dealt with the management team and the support team from this company for years. They are VERY responsive, reliable and trustworthy. That’s EXTREMELY important to me, and it probably is to you, too.

Let me know what you think! Seriously. I’m very interested in your thoughts about it. Just toss in a comment or two here in the blog.

Thanks!

I wanted to make this blog as accessible as possible to everyone and anyone, and make it as EASY as possible too. So I don’t REQUIRE registration (man, I hope you appreciate that, cuz I’m deleting a LOT of SPAM comments!!!).

Anyway… while registration is not required, I’d encourage you to register, if you wouldn’t mind. That way, I can send out periodic emails when I’ve added a post or commented on an existing one — just as a reminder.

You can register here: http://info-and-tools.com/communication/wp-login.php?action=register

Of course, I PROMISE not to use your email for anything other than this. Are you kidding? After I just talked about dealing with SPAM, you think I’m gonna send your email to the world so you can get some??? Uh-uh. No way. I’ll be the only one who sees your email. IF you register.

See ya!

Thanks!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.” — John 3:16

Right. Here’s the deal (and you’ll find this same text on the Info-and-Tools home page, as well as the “About” page of this blog): Day after day, I’ve been praying for God’s guidance on how I can glorify Him in my business, and at the same time praying for success. Recently, I felt He’d given me guidance on how to accomplish both at the same time: “Help people.” That’s it. Plain and simple.

So that’s my goal. And to accomplish that goal, I’m going to do my very best to find out what your biggest challenges are, RIGHT NOW. I want to find out what obstacles you face; what things you do that you wish could be done more quickly and easily. And I want to help you find solutions to those challenges — free, if possible. Cheap if not free, and never suggesting a solution that I don’t believe is appropriate or cost-effective. Sure, as you get more and more advanced, the tools & solutions you need are going to cost more. But there are so many ways to do things without breaking the budget! And I want to help you find and try those before you make the jump to “big budget” items. Chances are, some of the less expensive solutions will work fine for you. If not forever, then at least for a time. Save money for as long as you can. I want to help you do that.

And I believe that if I truly help people, success will follow. Why? Because God says so. And because I believe that people who get value for their hard-earned money also stay loyal to those who help them get that value. That’s how I hope to earn your loyalty, your repeat business, and success.

So go ahead - moan, groan, whine & wish. What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now? What’s your biggest obstacle or frustration? What do you wish would just “happen” or what do you wish you knew?

Maybe you’re facing technical challenges — you know you need to have landing pages, but you have no clue how to begin! Or maybe you’re confused by the plethora (love that word ) of HTML editing tools out there, and you need some guidance on what to pick. Maybe you’re new to web hosting and the only thing you know about cPanel is how to spell it.

Maybe you need a tool to accomplish something, but you have no idea what you’re looking for or where to find it (hmmm… sounds like it’s time for some “Home Depot Wanderings” ) Maybe you have a set of tools, but you’re not sure what they REALLY do, or how they can help you. But they sure sounded good when you read the sales page!!

Maybe you just need to know that the struggles you’re facing are not unique to you. Unless you’re doing some really weird stuff, you can be pretty sure they’re not.

I want to help you. I really do. And I’ll BET that just by creating a small community of co-strugglers and closet geniuses we’ll find out that each of us has something to contribute. This is different from the blogs & forums run by the “big names”, the “gurus”. I’m not here to sell you something — that’s not my primary objective (unlike MANY others).

I want to help you solve your problem for FREE, using free tools, and “coat hangers“. And when you’re just getting started in new areas, a lot of times, that’s all you need. As you get more advanced, you’re going to need more advanced tools. But that’s when we aim for “cheap”.

And eventually, when you’re making money, and you want to really crank up the factory, then you may need some of the “big guns”. So you know what? When we’ve looked at all the free ideas, and there’s a paid gizmo that I think (WE think) will be the best choice for where you are, then I’ll offer you that tool with my affiliate link. I hope to have earned your trust and loyalty enough that you wouldn’t begrudge my making some money

But like I said, I really believe that by focusing on helping people, God will reward. And if He chooses to reward by way of you guys buying tools & services you need through me, so be it.

Remember the Info-and-Tools.com tag line:

“Help for Online Entrepreneurs on a Shoestring Budget.”

That’s the goal. Free first, cheap second, “premium” last. Gotta keep an eye on those shoestrings

Realistically, I won’t be able to deal with everything, and some things may take time. But I promise to do the best I can. I’ve also made quite a few contacts in this business over the last few years, and I’m not embarrassed to ask questions I also hope we’ll be able to help each other as this community grows and matures.

I’ve left access to this blog wide open, to encourage participation from as many people and places as possible. But because it’s so open, I’ve also set it up so that posts require moderator approval. There are very few places immune from spammers anymore. Sad, but true. Makes a little prudence necessary. Hopefully it won’t slow us down too much

So have at it. Leave your moaning, groaning, whining & wishing comments below. Let’s get started on solving those challenges and moving onward and upward!! Woo-Hoo!!

See ya!!

Thanks!
