			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Here is my <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/assassin" target="_blank">Google Assassin</a> review.  I know a lot of people are excited by the prospect of cloning a 24 year old millionaire and if you can&#8217;t sit still one moment more, then by all means, go right now, the Assassin is live&#8230;</p>
<p>There are several good reasons why Google Assassin is a solid buy&#8230;</p>
<p>1. It comes with a keyword tool:</p>
<p>The keyword tool that comes with <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/assassin" target="_blank">Google Assassin</a> is great for fleshing out your keyword lists.  When you buy traffic, you want a slew of longtail keywords. This makes you more money.  It&#8217;s included in the Google Assassin package.</p>
<p>2.The Site Targeting Automator:</p>
<p>You may not grasp this 100% right now but here is the gist: you CAN get adwords traffic for less than a penny a click.  This is insanely profitable for affiliate marketing methods.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.djkassassin.com/image/bookgif.gif" align="right" hspace="5" /><a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/assassin" target="_blank">Google Assassin</a> has a tool that automates finding these gold mines.  You just enter your niche and it shows you how to suck the cheap traffic right out of your Adwords account. Brutal.</p>
<p><strong>What Else is There?</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just say, &#8216;the boys are back in town…&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8230;the &#8216;<a href="http://www.affiliateprojectx.biz/DayJobKiller/" title="Day Job Killer" target="_blank">Day Job Killer</a>&#8216; boys, creators of the fastest selling ebook in Clickbank history, which sold over 7,000 copies upon its release back in February…are back again.</p>
<p>&#8230;but the twist is&#8230;this time, I hear the monster&#8217;s even bigger and stronger than the last time it was out.</p>
<p>Now, If you&#8217;ve been struggling up until now to make a full time living online so you can finally quit your day job&#8230;it doesn&#8217;t get much better than this&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;listen, we&#8217;re not talking about just another old ebook or average &#8216;money-making&#8217; software here&#8230;this thing is much, much bigger than that.</p>
<p>Basically, it&#8217;s like cloning 24 year old millionaire Chris McNeeney, so that you can do what he does, automatically&#8230;</p>
<p>And people are doing well with it.  I know Chris personally since we&#8217;ve corresponded at times.  I heard the stories directly from the beta testers&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;a 61 year-old man from Michigan was able to make a consistent $500 every month using the <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/assassin" target="_blank">Google Assassin</a> system&#8230;and he did this without spending a single penny on Google Adwords PPC advertising!</p>
<p>&#8230;a newbie &#8216;beta tester&#8217; who was one of the lucky few to try out the system, ended up generating just over $470 in the first week of using this program&#8230;and is now well on course to making much, much more in the coming weeks and months.</p>
<p>&#8230;a self-confessed Google Adwords &#8216;no-hoper&#8217; who had never before made any money online in his life was given the system to experiment with&#8230;and after just a few weeks, he banked his very first $1,000 check from Clickbank.</p>
<p><strong>Why You Shouldn&#8217;t Touch it</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s unrealistic to say that <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/assassin" target="_blank">Google Assassin</a> is for everybody and that you should rush to buy it without thinking.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not an action taker, this package, as automated as it is will do nothing for you. Please don&#8217;t buy this and let it sit on your desktop, that&#8217;s just sad.</p>
<p>Also, if you don&#8217;t like affiliate marketing, refuse to work with Google or otherwise hate Pay Per Click marketing, then this isn&#8217;t for you, because it&#8217;s focused on making an extra $300-500 a week with exactly those methods.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you&#8217;re already making over $5000 a month on affiliate marketing, you probably don&#8217;t need this that much.  Of course with that kind of income, the price is a drop in the bucket, but it won&#8217;t be a breakthrough product like it will for others just getting started.</p>
<p><strong>You Decide</strong></p>
<p>Realistically, other than the reasons mentioned above, I wouldn&#8217;t pass this up. <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/assassin" target="_blank">Google Assassin</a> takes all the methods Chris uses to make as much as $170,000 a month and automates them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very much step by step, clicky, clicky clicky.</p>
<p>And there is <strong>TONS</strong> of stuff.  As in 10 different tools and tactics rolled into one. A huge manual and the software that goes with it, so you don&#8217;t have to buy anything else&#8230;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much all I have to say for now.<br />
You decide.</p>

If you want to follow a unique blueprint laid out by one of the world&#8217;s top ClickBank affiliates, this could be your final chance to secure a spot.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cb-aff-formula.com" target="_blanK">CB Affiliate Formula</a></p>
<p>Membership to CB Affiliate Formula is being reopened on Nov. 15th, 2007 at 9AM EST. For how long I can&#8217;t say but&#8230;</p>
<p>During the previous period when memberships were still available, I received quite a number of e-mails regarding Andrew Fox&#8217;s CB Affiliate Formula, and I wanted to address some of the most common questions.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What exactly IS CB Affiliate Formula?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> It&#8217;s simple. Andrew Fox makes hundreds of thousands of dollars as a ClickBank affiliate - and CB Affiliate Formula explains precisely how he does it. This is not &#8220;another e-book&#8221;, though; it&#8217;s an exclusive coaching club that will be updated constantly with new content, training videos, step-by-step training guides, a members area (with top affiliate mentors), access to Andrew&#8217;s &#8220;testing lab&#8221; and much more&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Who is Andrew Fox? Why do I want him to coach me?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Andrew is one of the top affiliates on the planet right now - the number just don&#8217;t lie. He&#8217;s generated as much as $100,000 in affiliate sales in <strong><u>ONE HOUR</u></strong>. Beyond that, Andrew has a proven track record of training struggling affiliates to finally profit with ClickBank. His content always comes highly recommended, and the number just don&#8217;t lie. $100,000 in one hour, anyone? (Did I mention that already?)</p>
<p><strong>Q: Why do I want to take action right now?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> There&#8217;s a few reasons. Firstly, Andrew is inevitably going to put up the price very soon (there&#8217;s currently only 19 spots left at the discount price). Initially it looked like this would happen in a few days, but given the rather excessive demand (double what was expected), it could well happen today or tomorrow. <strong>And remember, if the price does go up, you will pay more, not just once, but every single month</strong>. Apart from that, the information inside CB Affiliate Formula is completely new, unreleased gold - and if you don&#8217;t use it, your competition will very likely use it against you. That could well be the largest cost you will incur if you fail to take advantage of this opportunity.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cb-aff-formula.com" target="_blanK">CB Affiliate Formula</a></p>
<p>If you have any other questions, they&#8217;re probaly answered in this video Andrew Fox created to answer such questions:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cb-aff-formula.com/video.html" target="_blanK">Andrew Fox&#8217;s CB Affiliate Formula Q&amp;A Video</a></p>
<p>&#8230;or download the free <a href="http://www.cb-aff-formula.com/CB-Affiliate-Report.pdf" target="_blank">CB Affiliate Report</a> (PDF).</p>
<p><strong>Q: What are the bonuses you mentioned yesterday?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I&#8217;m offering 3 exclusive bonuses (I only have a few left). A copy of my <strong>Clickbank Elite</strong> software package that&#8217;s currently on sale for $67 on Clickbank (you get the bonuses that come with it as well), Platinum membership in <strong>Affiliate Profit$ Resource</strong> which gives you affiliate training materials - videos and pdf files - which normally costs $19.97 per month and a free membership to Saving Your Time, a membership site that </b?affiliate>provides 200+ instant access training courses that will build your business, free up your time and put more money in your pocket (normally costs $47)<b?affiliate>.</b?affiliate></p>
<p><a href="http://www.cb-aff-formula.com/bonuses.html" target="_blanK">You&#8217;ll find out what you need to do to get the bonuses here</a></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s next?</strong></p>
<p>You know the answer.</p>
<p>Join the highly recommended CB Affiliate Formula coaching club&#8230;before membership is closed again (possibly for good).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img src="http://www.affiliateelite.com/images/AffiliateElite_Box.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="240" hspace="8" width="292" />Brad Callen is well known in the internet marketing community for producing software such as <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/SEOElite" target="_blank">SEO Elite</a> and <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/KeywordElite" target="_blank">Keyword Elite</a>. He&#8217;s been secretly perfecting his new product, <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/Elite" target="_blank">Affiliate Elite</a>, over the past 9 months. It&#8217;s designed to make finding hot products to promote incredibly easy and you can track the sales history of products on Clickbank and PayDotCom to see how they performed for up to 90 days.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not all, Affiliate Elite also allows you to effectively spy on other affiliates, enabling you to see which of their pay per click ad campaigns are working and what type of ad copy they are using. You can then use these ideas and copy their ad campaigns to earn yourself some affiliate commissions&#8230;</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s only some of what the software can do.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/Elite" target="_blank">Affiliate Elite</a> isn&#8217;t cheap. It&#8217;s $147 for the first 1,000 who buy it and $199 thereafer. There&#8217;s also a $39 monthly payment to cover the costs of keeping the data behind the product bang up to date.</p>
<p>The software won&#8217;t suit everyone and will be outside the budget of some. Demand will be big (you also get a free copy of <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/ProjectX" target="_blank">Affiliate Project X</a> and some Project X videos with it). I&#8217;ve bought my own copy but haven&#8217;t had time to review it yet. I&#8217;ll get a review done and post it when it&#8217;s ready.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in getting your own copy of <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/Elite" target="_blank">Affiliate Elite</a>, I&#8217;m offering 3 bonuses with it. All offer affiliate and internet marketing training so they go hand-in-hand with the software.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/EliteBonuses" target="_blank">Go here to see the bonuses on offer</a>.</p>
<p>If you order through any of the <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/Elite" target="_blank">Affiliate Elite</a> links on this page, forward a copy of your Clickbank receipt to me at: netopps at gmail dot com and I&#8217;ll send you out your 3 free memberships to the above sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img src="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/image-files/google-pagerank.gif" align="left" border="0" height="75" hspace="8" width="152" />If you have your own website(s), you may have noticed a couple of days ago that the PageRank (PR) of your site(s) changed. Yes, it&#8217;s that time again, when Google do a soft-shoe shuffle and change how things work.</p>
<p>What seems odd with this update is that established White Hat sites have lost PR whereas newer or Black Hat sites seem to have done pretty well.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with those terms, White Hat refers to sites that are built to provide quality content for visitors and are built and added to over time. Black Hat sites are built in a day (or less) and are made up of RSS feeds, scraped content and/or free or PLR articles. Black Hat sites are designed to make money from Adsense and/or affiliate marketing. The idea is not to worry about the quality of any one site but to build 10s, 100s or 1000s of them. While each site may only make between $0.20 and $0.50 per day on average, having lots of &#8216;em means the money adds up.</p>
<p>My own White Hat sites have all dropped in PR by one which is frustrating. My youngest site is 2 years old, my oldest is 10 year old. That was a PR6 site. Actually before the PR update earlier this year, it was a PR7 site.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been experimenting with Black Hat sites for the past couple of months and all those sites have had PR added. Almost all of those sites have only one or two incoming links, yet some of them have gone up to PR4.</p>
<p>Looking around the forums, a lot of established sites have taken similar hits, sites such as <a href="http://www.WashingtonPost.com">WashingtonPost.com</a>, <a href="http://www.Forbes.com">Forbes.com</a> and <a href="http://www.ProBlogger.com">ProBlogger.com</a>. Some of these sites were PR7 and have now dropped to PR5, scores of PR6 sites have now dropped to PR4 and so on.</p>
<p>So what has Google done and why?</p>
<p>At this point, we can only speculate until Google actually tell us something (which they may never do). One opinion doing the rounds is that such sites have been singled out by Google because they were using their high PageRank scores to sell links and have been punished as a result. This doesn&#8217;t quite square with how my own sites were affected.</p>
<p>True, I have sold ad-space on some of my sites using <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com/TLA" target="_blank">Text Link Ads</a>. But not on all of them. And even those sites that don&#8217;t sell adspace of any description still got demoted.</p>
<p>Others are speculating that all Google has done is reduce the PR value that appears in the PageRank graphic that&#8217;s part of the Google Toolbar you can add into your browser. Site positions in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) don&#8217;t appear to be affected (at least so far) and so the thinking is that perhaps Google are firing a shot across the bow of those who do sell links on their websites.</p>
<p>Another idea being posited, and it&#8217;s then one I think is most likely, is that Google has made some change in the way they fundamentally calculate a website&#8217;s PageRank. Google have never made public how they calculate rankings and Search Engine Optimization experts love second-guessing what metrics Google use to determine it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s possible that Google have become disenchanted with the amount of link selling going on as such links can be used to pass PR juice from one site to the next, thereby upping its PR very quickly. So a site&#8217;s PR becomes more about how many high-PR sites link to it rather than the quality of content actually on the site. And, as we all know, Google states that they love quality content sites. Google have also stated that they don&#8217;t like link selling. Which is a bit hypocrital of them since they sell links themselves. Anyway, how can Google distinguish between a link that a webmaster is being paid to display, a link that&#8217;s a reciprocal link with another site or a one-way link to a site that the webmaster thinks will be useful to his readers? Maybe Google are being just a little heavy-handed?</p>
<p>Folks familiar with search engine optimisation (SEO) think that maybe Google thought there were too many high-PR sites out there and have devalued a large number of sites so that high-PR sites have some meaning again. So today&#8217;s PR4 sites are the equivalent of last week&#8217;s PR5&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Whatever the real reason behind Google&#8217;s latest PR update, I&#8217;m pretty sure they&#8217;re enjoying having let the cat out amongst the pidgeons. Maybe when they get bored (and all that&#8217;s left are feathers), they&#8217;ll let us know what they did and why&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;but I wouldn&#8217;t hold my breath.</p>
<p>How have your sites fared?</p>

		<description>Ok, first of all welcome to my new blog. 
I&amp;#8217;ve been running the Home Based Business Directory since early 2004 (and still do) but I think a blog is better suited for the commentaries I want to make on making money online. 
So that&amp;#8217;s why I&amp;#8217;m here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Ok, first of all welcome to my new blog. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been running the <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com" target="_blanK">Home Based Business Directory</a> since early 2004 (and still do) but I think a blog is better suited for the commentaries I want to make on making money online. </p>
<p>So that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here.</p>
<p>Now what&#8217;s a Thousandaire? Ok. it&#8217;s a term I just made up. I make a full-time living online and have done so since 2004. I put <a href="http://www.makeonlineresidualearnings.com" target="_blanK">Home Based Business Directory</a> partly to self-organise and also to tell others about things that I&#8217;ve tried and worked for me. Now, there are so many opportunities available online, no one can try them all. So I also mention programs that I haven&#8217;t tried myself but that have been recommended by friends and contacts whose opinions I trust. </p>
<p>Anyway, being a thousandaire that means I make a few thousand bucks each month online which keeps food on the table, the bills paid and puts a little extra into the bank for those rainy days (and vacations).</p>
<p>Some things have worked for me and some things haven&#8217;t. And I&#8217;ve spent some of my hard-earned cash on the latest and greatest must-have marketing products and been mightily pissed at myself for having done so afterwards (at least in some cases). </p>
<p>Having gone htrough the rigors of surviving online, I think it&#8217;s time I started commenting on what I see happening (good and bad) in the big bad world of internet marketing.</p>
<p>So welcome one and all and feel free to comment on my diatribes!&#8230;</p>
