If you have the Digg toolbar installed you will probably be getting the little pop ups of newly made popular stories in the bottom right of firefox.
To make some good use of that here is what you can do.
Just now a story popped up about ‘8 tips to make your home green’. If you are involved with ClickBank at all then you will know of a product called Earth4Energy which has been smashing the sales in the home made energy/renewable energy niche.
In order for a story to pop up down there i believe it needs to have had quite a few diggs in a very short time. So this means that not only it will be seen by anyone with these alerts enabled but also listed quite highly on the digg pages. So many more people who are browsing Digg will see it.
All you need to do now is jump on it with an affiliate link in the comments with a tinyurl or an actual domain (make it look less spammy) and make a comment with the link in it! If the story really takes off and your comment is up the top of the list (and doesnt get buried) then you will get bucket loads of free fairly targeted traffic to your hoplink!
EASY!
Just make sure you dont do this like mad and actually have some decent content in your comment and you will be fine.

A while back i posted about a couple of videos i uploaded to YouTube. Well, here are some screen grabs of the insights for both of them another month down the track.
Video 1 never really took off actually, and I’m not too sure why. Could be the music i think haha, i might change that. Video 2 has always been the better performer and after some tweaks on the info after some of the commenters pointed out a few contradictions (:$:$) it picked up even more.
I was concerned that they might fizzle out after i added an annotation box to the second video and the views took a hit almost straight away. After taking that out you can see that the views picked right back up again! Now the second vid is doing pretty well and I’m getting about a 15% CTR back to my landing page which has resulted in quite a few sales for the products which is nice.
If you can manage to get a video up to 500+ views a day with a decent affiliate program then you will be absolutely laughing. If you then duplicate this across the plethora of Tube sites then you will be laughing all the way to the bank! This is very achievable. These 2 vids are in a pretty random niche.
I think my next video marketing attempt is going to involve some sort of singles/dating service affiliate program ;). I’ll keep that one under my hat until i have some decent info to tell you guys!
Chris Rempel (The Lazy Marketer) and a guy named Dave Kelly have just release this to the masses. I’ve seen the hype building for this for about a month now i think.
What it is is a $67 ebook teaching you how to rank for any keyword you want, in MSN. Basically it outlines some techniques on choosing domains, creating simple one page landing pages with layouts that are proven to convert well. Once you have your site and page setup its on to the link building. Here you need some blogs and there is a script that has been written for this purpose by Dave Kelly.
You need content for you blogs and of course this takes a bit of effort. But if you are sitting on a bunch of articles then that will make this step a lot easier.
These sites are being built specifally for MSN. They probably will not do so well in Google but MSN still has its fair chunk of the pie so the possibilities for profiting are quite good.
Overall I would recomend this. Actually every product of Chris’s i have seen has been of very high quality. He is no bullshitter and from what i know of Dave Kelly he seems to know his stuff and has put quite a bit of effort into this one.
I might update this with a more in depth review once i start seeing some action! (shouldnt be long now!)
Buy it to get more traffic for some highly competitive keywords

Do you write your own articles? If so where do you get all your inspiration from?
Writing is one of my weak points (as you might have guessed from my blog! :P) so I really struggle to come up with any kind of decent content (hello outsourcing!). So i decided to have a good think about how i can turn this around and become an article writing maniac.
As you know if you write something on the internet that you read off the internet there is a good chance that this will be caught out as being duplicate material and you can also get busted for plagiarism if you don’t reference and acknowledge the sources. So i thought to myself ‘where can i find some stuff that might not be duplicated on the net already?’
When it comes to writing for health related niches I approached some of my medical mates (doctors & nurses etc) and ask them for journals and reference books that might contain some info on a particular niche. Yes actual books, real life hold them in your hands books. Most of these medical issues have been around for many many years and a lot of the information has stayed pretty constant, so you can actually read a journal from 10-20 years ago and find some golden stuff.
Now i am not saying copy all of this word for word and plug it into ezine articles. As always put your own spin on it and rewrite it before submitting to any directories or posting it on your blog. Most of this stuff might not have ever seen the light of the internet before. Just another source for you to look for when you are stuck in a rut like i seem to be most of the time!
Just some food for thought.

Bet you didn’t even notice i was gone did you!? Where did i go? I went to Perth. Ive never been there before so was a little excited however it ended up being just a boring work trip to fix some stuff and to figure out how some people managed to get employed.
Toward the end of last week i learned some new adwords tricks and i tested them over the last few days so what i will do now is try and write up some findings and share a few secrets with you. stay tuned.
