2) My Week

This week I’ve been as busy as ever. On Friday I presented at the Australian Institute of Professional Facilitators conference in Brisbane, Australia. It was a great group to work with and they seemed to enjoy my “10 Tips to Rocketing your Small Business Website up the Search Engines” talk. Hopefully some of those tips will increase their lead generation and they'll see how powerful the Internet is as a tool for an offline business.

On the Internet marketing front, I’ve been reading some very interesting reports on article writing that I am hoping to bring to you in the next month. There were some really good ideas on how to make article directory sites work much more effectively in driving direct traffic rather than just link building. It switched my thinking around a bit.

I’ve also been playing with a range of software such as article spinners and seeing how far I can push them to make quality content that the search engines and humans will like. The database merge facility is making my head swim with possibilities from an SEO point of view. Hmmm…. Misspelled keyword articles ☺

Anyway, have a profitable week!

Brad Hauck

    Hey Mr. B, thanks for the tips!

    Care to comment on the way that you do split testing with a WordPress site? I'm sure there are tons of options, but I'm ready to learn what's already out there.

    Super case study, Brad!

    Good interview, Brad. I wish Mr B well in his online efforts. Just goes to show that, if you stick to it, an online business will succeed. But it does take loads of patience and a huge time investment. He is absolutely right - this doesn't come easy. However, it is well worth the effort in the end.

    Hi Mark,

    Mr B doesn't want to name his website just to keep his business private but I can assure you that it is a great site and has awesome rankings. I have been there myself.

    When his book comes out, hopefully soon, we will see if we can bring it to you.

    Thanks :-)

    Thanks for your open and honest advice (without the catch). I am so over the
    . finding the code
    . cracking the secret
    . this is the way to get easy money without doing any work
    . mosey over to your computer in your pajamas and collect your electronic funds.
    . instant success

    It does take work. Internet marketing is a moving target - the rules change every day. The experts can't predict what specifically will work, testing is the only way. We also underestimate how much learning is involved to make anything work well. You can set up PPC in 10 minutes. Just ask Google.

    We expect to create a business on the web in a couple of hours with someones formula. If someone had a magic formula, they wouldn't be sharing it.

    Congratulations on your success Mr B!

    I have been in a similar situation as you, both in terms of traffic and income - actually much higher income, over many years. But be careful on relying on SEO and PPC traffic for the majority of your traffic.

    I assume most of your traffic is coming from Google. They have been cracking down big time on websites and AdWords campaigns promoting 'get rich quick' schemes.

    Google has slapped penalties on my SEO rankings which reduced traffic in half overnight. Plus they banned an AdWords account for promoting IM products that appeared to imply customers could 'get rich quick'.

    If they haven't gotten around to you yet, they may do so soon.

    It only took me a minute to track down your real identity and your main website. It's probably better to stay under the radar.

    My advice is to diversify your traffic source NOW, before Google punches you in the groin (so to speak). :-)

    Anyway, good luck!

    If you name your web site to a lot of people looking to build a web site then someone can hire someone from India or the Philippines to rewrite the site and you can get a domain name like XYZnow.com and get your site next to his and steal half his traffic.

    If I were him I would think twice about even naming it in the book. I would not if I were him.

    "My other sites which make $3,000 to $4,000 a month were very, very easy to build when compared to my main site. And also, they took a lot less effort and involvement to get where they are presently."

    This above quote from you gives me hope.

    Thanks, Andrew

    I really enjoyed reading this interview. It is so inspiring to read "Mr. B's" story. Mr. B is at my goal income. It is motivating to read about how he got to this point. Not to mention, it's nice to know that he makes mistakes (just like the rest of us), takes the time to learn from them and is ultimately successful

    Interesting article, but with over 300 domains he sounds more like a domain marketer than an affiliate marketer.

    I would be happy to have an income of 3,000 or 4,000 a month from my site at the moment.

    I do agree that too many people read all the get rich quick schemes about the internet and believe every word they hear.

    I have been working for a year on my site, and although I am seeing growth, it is very slow.

    But as Mr B says maybe that

    The biggest advice that I got out of reading the post is that you must do a lot of trial and error with Internet marketing. The journey that this person took was the most valuable part of his being able to profit the way he has.

    Learning pay per click and search engine optimization allowed Mr. B to be able to get traffic on demand. Great interview.

    Hi Tim, Most of the 300 domains are old projects that never worked out. They are just sitting doing nothing. 100% of my income comes through adsense, Direct Banner Sales & CPA & affiliate commissions.

    Hey LizzyFin,

    I really just do all my testing manually, using spreadsheets and swapping things around for a few days here and there.

    There are probably better ways, but I like to keep things simple.
