Talk about trimming fat…….US Obligations larger than the combined GDP of every country on Earth!!
That’s a pleasant thought now isn’t it. This post has nothing directly to do with internet marketing, but everything to do with the Value of Money.
If the US yearly deficits were calculated using the same accounting standards that publicly traded companies are required to use, companies like Citbank, GM, AIG, Bank of America, WaMu, Bear Stearns…….you get the idea, the Government would have reported a deficit last year not of $455 Billion, but $5.1 TRILLION.
In fact, if you took all current outstanding obligations, including Medicare and Social Security, the Feds would be in the hole for $65 Trillion, that is more than the “World GDP”
STAGGERING………..

A while back I made a post on the the “Review Site Niche“. Basically you create a site that reviews different affiliate products. But I’m taking a different slant on it. I’m letting anyone and everyone review the products. So its not just me promoting this or that.
As an added bonus, everyone that reviews a site, also gets a free backlink to their site, if they have one.? So it inherently has appeal for people? who have websites to write reviews. But the absolute best part, especially? for the consumer, is that the reviews are completely honest and unbiased. The reviewers have nothing to lose or gain by writing either a positive or negative review, since their affiliate link is not being used.
To see a basic example, check out this site.
I don’t plan on holding on to this one, it will go up for sale at Sitepoint, the same way I sell blogs.
The? products you could review are endless, you could do ClickBank and Commission Junction Products, or even CPA and CPL offers.
Well that’s it for now………..to every one’s success!!!

Everybody is talking about affiliate link theft. How supposedly, everybody who doesn’t use a cloaker is getting ripped off. Personally, I don’t believe it all that much. I mean whoever does it would have to have affiliate accounts at all of your networks.
Of course, everybody can get a clickbank ID, and substitute theirs for yours, so they’re buying the product for 25 to 50 percent of the retail price. They are still spending. Of course, in the internet marketing niche I would assume it happens at a higher rate than other niches, only because we all have clickbank IDs and some, very few, of the products do actually work. There is much simpler way of doing it though, just get your wife or sibling or anybody to buy it from your link. I mean you can email them link, so how hard can it be?
Now in terms of esthetics, those affiliate links do look crappy. Then again who looks at the bottom left of their browser so much. We are all in the Internet Marketing niche, so we are aware of it. But if you’re talking about an average Joe/Jane looking for hosting or their first domain name or anything else, they aren’t checking out the bottom left of their browser, and if they do, they just think its “computer code”, nor are they offended by long screwy affiliate links.
They don’t care!!
I didn’t care 3 years ago when I didn’t know what anything other than email and surfing were.
Now I never used a cloaker, until now. I figure I’m going to check it out here and on some other blogs I’m building. So I bought one of those WP Affiliate Link Cloaking plugin on ClickBank. Well, quite frankly, it sucked. In fact I’m asking for a refund on Monday. I tried a free software my partner sent me but I decided to just redirect at the server level, a friend of mine set it up, and it doesn’t cost me anything.
I want to see if there is any difference in my clickbank income for the next month or so. Its not that much to begin with, so the results may be slanted just by any increase in traffic this blog gets, if it gets any increase.
I’ll let you know how it turns out
Here a little test. Here a link to a list of Motivational Ebooks, I figure with the economy the way it is you might want to check them out.

Eric Holmlund, one of the most honest internet marketers I know, just launched a new productivity tool for people trying to make money online.
I said in a recent post, that “information overload” is a major stumbling block to getting started online.
Well, Eric and his brother-in-law, have developed this product, “Push Button Marketer” , which uses a software created by them called “Macro Marketer” that automates all those tedious tasks you need to do to succeed online:
- Posting classified ads
- Writing articles and submitting them to Article Directories
- Website/Landing Page Directory submissions
- Building PPC campaigns
- Monitoring your sales from your various affiliate links Keeping tabs on your email list and Automating a complete Email Marketing Campaign
- …..and that’s really the tip of the Iceberg.
The best part is you can configure the software to do each task at the stroke of one key. This alone will increase your productivity and increase your income.
Like I said Eric is a really really good guy. He’s a family man with a wife and four kids, one only a month old! He does a tremendous amount of volunteer work around the world! In fact, he’s going to India next month to do some missionary work, I believe.
The product comes with a Full 60 Day Money Back Guarantee, if you are dissatisfied with the product, which I highly doubt, Eric only does a few products a year and they are all quality , you just ask for your money back. It’s essentially a free trail, if you don’t like it, just get your money back!!……..it should still only be $67 bucks, but I understand they will be raising it soon to $97,
