John Chow vs. WP Text Ads.

I was a little disappointed in the review of the new marketplace at WP Text Ads by John Chow. I found his review to be a little short sighted.

John does make valid points about the current usefulness of the marketplace to advertisers.   The marketplace only has a couple sites listed which are of little value to majority of advertisers, however this is not the point.  I think the marketplace has real potential. 

When Text Link Ads was first launched it didn’t start with this community of advertisers and publishers.  Just like any site trying to grow online it started with it’s first user and grew from there.

Although I think WP Text Ads will have a very difficult time trying to compete with Text Links Ads, I do feel they have a market in this industry.  They just have to find their niche.

Check out the new version of the WP Text Ads WordPress plugin available from my good friend Alex over at WPTextAds.com. With the release of this new version comes an integrated marketplace. Personally I’m really pleased with the marketplace because it allows advertisers to quickly and easily find potential sites to purchase links. It also includes at a glance all the main details that an advertiser will need when determining the best place to purchase links at the most reasonable price available.

One of the biggest benefits of using services such as text-link-ads.com over a standalone plugin such as WP Text Ads is their ability to bring advertisers and publishers together. I strongly believe that this marketplace has bridged that gap bringing WP Text Ads to a more level playing field. Especially when you consider the additional benefits of eliminating the middleman in lower cost of links for advertisers and higher profit for publishers.

So if you’re looking for an alternative to text-link-ads.com or just looking to manage your own text links, the WP Text Ads WordPress plugin is an excellent choice.

Ajax Domain Registration

For years I’ve been using godaddy.com to check on available domain names. I found their site quick and easy to find out if a domain is available. That was until I found Ajaxwhois. This site uses ajax technology to search for available domains. The site is extremely fast to look up domains and whois information. Highly recommended.

John Reese’s Formula for Internet Marketing Success

John Reese has the uncanny ability to summarize any business transaction into a simple to understand process. I have forgotten just how good of a teacher John is and how valuable his information is to online success.

For example John has summarized internet marketing success into one simple formula. Sure the formula appears complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. If you incorporate each of the individual portions of the formula into your site, you are bound to see an improvement.

The Reese Formula:

LG x P(x) x SEO x C(x) x CS x EM x ME x V V x TM x VS x B(x) = INTERNET MARKETING SUCCESS.

LG = Lead Generation
P(x) = Partners (to the power of the quality of the partner)
SEO = Search Engine Optimization
C(x) = Content (to the power of the quality and quantity of your content)
CS = Content Syndication
EM = Email Marketing
ME = Marketing Exposure
V V = Visitor Value
TM = Traffic Monetization
VS = Viral Systems
B(x) = Brand (to the power of the quality of your brand)

Check out the video, it’s well worth your time.

Help from a Guru.

What do you ask when a Guru offers their help? John Reese is starting a new series on his site, Income.com, in which he will answer specific questions from his readers. He’s looking for detailed specific questions that he can provide detailed specific answers.

I’m having trouble trying to think of something to ask John. I guess the problem is that I’m not struggling with one specific thing that I think John can help with. I know if I was working one-on-one with John in developing my internet business his help would be priceless. I know there must be a zillion things that I need to improve/change in order to increase my results, but that’s the problem. I know there are things I need to do to improve, if there wasn’t I would already be more successful, but what are those things?

How can I give John specific details about what I’m struggling with when I don’t know what it is that causing my problem. The biggest problem I face is traffic. I’m not getting the traffic necessary to increase profits. Despite my best efforts, my traffic remains on average the same. I’m only getting 3-10 clicks per day on advertising (all sites combined) which produces on average about $1 a day in income.

I’ve tried to harness the power of social networking, article writing, press releases, however I’ve seen little results. Maybe I’m not putting enough time/effort into this aspect and my results are reflecting my efforts. Maybe it’s the quality of my copy that causes the lack of interest. Maybe it’s the niches that I have chosen. Maybe it’s a combination of everything. Maybe it’s just me. Who knows exactly what is causing my lack of traffic and interest.

I know it’s not the site itself because I have created a wordpress package that’s perfect for internet marketing. It’s a unique combination of plugins and seo modifications that changes the basic wordpress install into a internet marketing powerhouse. It’s an awesome package that makes starting in the internet marketing world quick and easy. ~*<– hidden message *~

Either way whatever it is, I don’t know how to summarize it into one post on John’s site that I know that he can answer that will make a noticeable difference.
