Sitefling
I just made a little video last night for Justin Brooke on the importance of list building.
When I started my first list, it was completely in a rush and a panic. I was selling the silly Kimkins diet, and was promoting using adwords. I was paying for every visitor who cam to my site. Silly me, I paid for a lot of people to visit me and didn’t even get their names! I was devistated by this later on – not because of the missed opportunity to build a long term relationship with those folks. I was destroyed when I realized all the additional names I could have emailed to tell them about the scam. I’m confident there were many who I missed, and who for a fact I know did join Kimkins.
I didn’t get a list in place until about the 3rd day into the massive sales. It was put up quickly out of desperation when the main Kimkins site went down several times from the traffic overload. I knew people were clicking on my site, and then clicking to go to KK and they got a “server is busy” message of some kind. I was throwing adspend right down the toilet. I needed to get the names of those people so I could email them when the site went back up. It was a mess.
Anyway, here is my video on the importance of listbuilding. I didn’t go into this dirty story in that video because, well, it’s just complicated.

Part 2: 1on40
I was pulling my hair out somewhat this morning (and you’d think I’d be much more careful about it after Kimkins) as I was researching someone who I am still trying to figure out how to go about “calling them out.”
Anyway, it all boiled back down to SEO again, and I was reminded of 1on40. My first typing in of the term was an interesting typo – that was 10n40 – that’s a ten, the letter “n” and the number 40. The o (letter o) and the 0 (zero) are in very close placement on the keyboard. I’ll give that little tidbit away for free for anyone who happens over this often depressing and sadistic blog. So, I got some results with the typo’s (very exciting) and decided to type in properly, and noticed that finally the sweet little hub page I was following had trickled down and the master “1on40″ was at the top.
I was sad to see the hub page project by Terry G had dropped to 3rd on the ranking. But to be honest – I called it a week or so ago. Yes, all those new affiliates have slapped coded banners on their sites, in addition to sprinkling links in blogs, hub pages, and God only knows where – and now there are a bazillion back links getting settled in – and what a mess this will be if indeed 1on40 is deemed a scam. The clean-up will be enormous. The winner now is the 1on40 headquarters dot net and dot com sites.
I am beginning to see the nay-sayers now. A person going by the name of “felix” appeared on Terry’s webpage, crying that google has banned his site, and his page rank has dropped. I wish felix had left a little more information. If anyone would like to leave comments here on this blog, with details and links to your sites please do.
I was a little excited to see my “part 1: 1on40” hanging in there on the front page. I had only blogged once before about it, and I was sure there had to be some people pushing it harder than I was. I think one of my advantages here is the sheer power of Wordpress.
Someone joked that maybe 1on40 had shut down scam.com. The site was down for a few days, and like a junkie I was jonesing for scam to get fixed. It has been back up for a week or so now. I visited Scam, and found this great thread here. 1on40 is being compared to MTT aka morethantraffic (dot) com. This company is gone, but many suspect this is a repeat, including Reg, who has his own problems with 1on40 and is documenting them at his forum.
This is just a mini-update for now, and I’ll be continuing on with this soon. I’m sure some people will be interested in some video stuff I have done (if the real scam is revealed) and more that I’m working on – like how to file a complaint with the FTC.

I stumbled upon a new concept last week. The name of the site is 1on4o. The site promises you a top number one spot in Google and 38 other search engine results based on 5 keywords. They say they can do this within 120 days. Some big questions are beginning to follow this company. Read more

I just got wind that my How to Join a Lawsuit video was doing well with some rankings. Thanks everyone for all your support, and thank you to all the new lawsuit sign ups!
In the battle against starvation diets, many have spent hours posting information in an attempt to balance out the search engine results.
I just came across a little report : Search Engine Myths Exposed. I checked it out as it was my favorite word (free) thinking, what am I going to get for nothing?
All I can say is WOW! There are things in there for not just the bloggers, but for everyone who could use a little help in understanding how the whole search engine ranking thing works.
I highly encourage you all to download this free report. You may be prompted with a “wait, you will only see this page once” page. You are not obligated to buy anything. Just scroll through and you will get to the report.
The importance of complimentary links cannot be stressed enough. So I would like to thank Tim and Oh Yeah Babe for bringing this to my attention.
If there is something in the report/ebook that someone does not understand, please comment so I can try to explain it to you in a future blog post.
The more we know about what we are doing, the better we can do it!
