<h3>Intro</h3>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB"> I’m going to give you some tips to get free Google SEO  traffic. In other words, when people go to Google and search for a  given keyword, the idea is that your website shows up, people click  on your website and you generate free traffic. By the way, this video is  brought to you by <a href="http://www.cbwebsitex.com" target="_blank">Website X</a>, and if you go there you can read  all about our website offer, which is specifically primed to bring in  free Google traffic for you. </span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">So,  let’s get started.</span></p>
<h3>Consider the &#8220;long tail&#8221;</h3>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">My first tip is to consider the “long tail”. What this means is  when people normally target a given keyword on Google, they’ll go  after a single keyword. So, for example, they want to rank for a  keyword such as “lose belly fat” and will dedicate all of their  time to ranking for that given keyword. </span> <span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">But  that’s naive and that is not how Google works.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">The way Google works is Google doesn’t just look at your website  and consider whether it should rank for a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">single</span> keyword, rather what  Google does is it decides whether your site is based around a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">given  theme</span>. So, it tries to look at your site and work out whether or not  your site is built around a given topic and if so, it won’t just  rank you for that keyword you’re trying to rank for, <em>it will rank  you for all the related keywords as well.</em></span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">So  what does this mean?</span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB"> Well firstly, it means you’ll need to target more than one keyword  at once. In other words, if you’re trying to work out whether a  given keyword has got enough search volume, enough demand, and is  easy enough to rank for, you’ll want to look at other related  keywords to that keyword and see if you can rank for those as well. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">So,  you don’t just want to go for one keyword that you can easily target, you want to go for several keywords and  try and rank for many of them. And in order to do this, you need to  understand something called “<a href="http://www.seobook.com/archives/000657.shtml">latent semantic indexing</a>”. Now I  know that sounds complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. And  what it means is Google organizes its search results around different  themes, around different ideas. </span></p>
<h3>Presenting&#8230; the wonder wheel</h3>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Now  while </span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">LSI  is quite a long term and sounds very complicated, in actual fact you  can see exactly what it means very easily. And the way you do that is  by doing a Google search as I’ve done here. And you can see, I’ve  entered “lose belly fat” into Google and I have the wonder wheel  showing up in my search page. And the way to activate the wonder  wheel is by doing your Google search and then on the left hand side  you’ll see this link here which is wonder wheel. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">And what that does  is it loads up not just the keyword you’ve entered into Google, but  also all the related keywords that Google thinks relate to your  original search. What this means if we wanted to, for example,  rank for the keyword “lose belly fat”, we would also want to  target keywords that Google thinks are related which in this case  includes keywords such as “lose weight fast”, “ab workout”,  “lose belly fat naturally”, “relacore”, “lose belly fat  fast” and so on and so forth. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">That way you could promote, for example, the <a title="Truth about abs affiliate page" href="http://affiliatex.com/affiliateprograms/TruthAboutAbs_No_April/id4623">Truth About Abs affiliate program</a> or any other product from the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/lose_fat/niche2">dieting niche</a> or <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/build_muscle/niche11">muscle niche</a> and get free traffic.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">The  other way that we can work out what Google thinks are related keywords to our original keyword is by simply using the  Google keyword tool, which you can access <a href="https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternal">here</a>. So if we search “lose  belly fat” and scroll down, you’ll see that there’s a list of  keywords here such as “weight reduction”, “to lose weight”,  “lose weight to”, etc. that Google thinks are related to our  original search. And what that means is that if we want to rank for  that keyword “lose belly fat”, we also want to make sure that our  site, our articles, our titles and so on and so forth are all built  around not just that keyword but the keywords that Google thinks are  related. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">And  by the way all of the search engines </span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">work  in this way; so by doing this, you’ll not only be able to rank on  Google and get free traffic from Google, but you’ll also be able to  rank on other search engines, such as Bing and Yahoo and get free  traffic from them as well. So, in other words, what we need to do  here is to target a long tail and that will bring in lots of free  traffic for us.</span></p>
<h3>Think in terms of domain &#8220;authority&#8221;</h3>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">The  second tip is to consider authority</span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">.  Now Google doesn’t group all domain the same. And in actual fact if  you’ve got a domain name that Google views as having a high  authority, then you’ll be able to rank for keywords much easier  than someone whose site does not have any authority in Google’s  eyes at all. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">But  what do we mean by </span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">authority? </span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Well, Google works out authority by looking at several factors. </span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">One of the factors that Google looks at is the age of the domain. So,  a domain that is for example ten years old will much, much easier to  rank for on Google than a domain which is completely brand new. And  you can look at getting hold of aged domains and old domains &#8211; there’re a few ways to do this. One way is to buy expired domains,  which you can get for example on site stuckdomains.com, and you can  buy aged domains, domains which are for sale and have already been  online for several years on sites such as digitalpoint, flippa,  yourmaindomain.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Of  course, authority isn’t limited to the age of a given site,  authority includes other factors. And apart from domain age, the  other factor that needs to be considered is backlinks and the number  of backlinks that a given site has will definitely influence the  amount of authority that a site has in Google’s eyes. And one way  you can get backlinks is by using our automated website system, which  again you can get at <a href="http://www.cbwebsitex.com">Website X</a></span></p>
<p><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">So  hopefully, I’ve given you a few things to </span><span lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">think  about here and best of luck with your Google rankings. Thank you for  watching and I will see you in the next video.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re anything but the most casual affiliate, chances are, you&#8217;ve used the ClickBank marketplace before.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the main way that ClickBank affiliates find products to promote. And with over 12,000 products for sale, and a total gravity  of over 50,000 for the entire <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">ClickBank marketplace</a>, there&#8217;s definitely cash to be made. But there are problems with the CB marketplace &#8211; and unless you know to use it, it can be misleading and problematic.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at close look at the marketplace, and see if we can make using it even easier and more profitable.</p>
<h3>Problems with the marketplace</h3>
<p>One problem with the marketplace is that it hides less popular products. As we&#8217;ve already discussed, the way the CB marketplace is setup hides the <a href="http://blog.affiliatex.com/finding-hot-clickbank-affiliate-niches/">best ClickBank niches</a> and the <a href="http://blog.affiliatex.com/finding-clickbank-affiliate-programs">most profitable ClickBank affiliate programs</a>. The problem is that the marketplace is skewed heavily towards &#8220;make money products&#8221;, meaning you have to sift through a layer of biz opp launches to get to the other products (especially in categories like e-business).</p>
<p>A second problem is that the &#8220;$ per sale&#8221; number on ClickBank does not tell you all that much. Most affiliates think they can work out refund rates by comparing the price of a product and the % payout, with the avg. $ per sale.<a href="post.php?post=161&amp;action=edit&amp;message=10#">Get Shortlink</a></p>
<p>For example, let&#8217;s say a product costs $100, and the % payout is 50%. That means the average $ earned per sale should be $50, right? And if the $ earned is just $25 (50% of what it &#8220;should&#8221; be), then the product has a refund rate of 50% &#8211; right?</p>
<p>Wrong.</p>
<p>The problem comes when a product owner has &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upselling">upsells</a>&#8221; after the initial front-end purchase. So they have a $100 product, followed by a $50 product, and then a $25 product. If a customer purchases all three products, then the average $ per sale will actually be pulled down by the lower priced upsells, which ClickBank also takes into consideration.</p>
<p><strong><em>The affiliate makes more money, but the vendor is penalized by having a lower average $ per sale!</em></strong></p>
<p>There are many such quirks with the marketplace &#8211; and that&#8217;s why smart affiliates need to use multiple avenues when choosing affiliate products.</p>
<p>Luckily, there are a few solutions to these shortcomings&#8230;</p>
<h3>1 Finding hidden products on the ClickBank marketplace</h3>
<p>One very  section of the marketplace is the <a href="https://www.clickbank.com/advancedMarketplaceSearch.htm">advanced search</a> page. This gives you several powerful filters to further refine your ClickBank product research. Here are some of my favorite filters:</p>
<p>•  Vendor Activation Date &#8211; this lets you filter by the date the product was activated. For example, filter with &#8220;Vendor was activated after 1st February&#8221; and only the most recent products will load up.</p>
<p>•  Upsell &#8211; this lets you only include products that include an upsell after the original purchase. That way you can squeeze as much value out of each sale as possible.</p>
<p>• Exclude words from search &#8211; this lets you exclude certain keywords from the search. For example, you could search for products with &#8220;traffic&#8221; in the marketplace description, but exclude the word &#8220;adwords&#8221;.</p>
<h3>2 Finding ClickBank products outside  the marketplace</h3>
<p>Our own CB 100 is (in my opinion) the best place to <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">find ClickBank products</a>.</p>
<p>We now include the alexa traffic rating of each product &#8211; which gives you a good idea of how popular a given site is, beyond the usual gravity and popularity ratings. This is especially useful because gravity doesn&#8217;t show a handful of affiliates generating masses of sales &#8211; but this will show up on our <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">ClickBank 100</a>.</p>
<p>We also include a new section which lists the affiliate pages found in our database, for each individual ClickBank product and affiliate program. For example, check out the <a title="commission crusher" href="http://affiliatex.com/affiliateprograms/Steve_Isers_Commission/id24489">Commission Crusher affiliate program</a> and you&#8217;ll see that we&#8217;ve listed that this product has an upsell once customers first buy. So you can instantly work out that the $ per sale number doesn&#8217;t necessarily tell you a lot about the product&#8217;s ClickBank refund rate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Note: find part 1 of this article, which shows you how to <a title="Profitable clickbank products" href="http://blog.affiliatex.com/finding-clickbank-affiliate-programs">find profitable ClickBank affiliate programs</a>.  You can also watch the video for both articles below, or keep reading to find hot affiliate niches using Affiliate X&#8230;</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="337" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="flashvars" value="author=Chris&amp;file=http://www.cbgamechanger.com/videos/choosingaffprogs/choosingaffprogs.flv&amp;start=0&amp;title=Video 1&amp;screencolor=#000000&amp;bufferlength=5&amp;autostart=false&amp;skin=http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/modieus.swf" /><param name="src" value="http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/player-licensed-viral.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="337" src="http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/player-licensed-viral.swf" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="author=Chris&amp;file=http://www.cbgamechanger.com/videos/choosingaffprogs/choosingaffprogs.flv&amp;start=0&amp;title=Video 1&amp;screencolor=#000000&amp;bufferlength=5&amp;autostart=false&amp;skin=http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/modieus.swf" bgcolor="#000000"></embed></object></p>
<h3>Finding ClickBank Niches</h3>
<p>One section that  you use to find new   products is the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/top_100_niches">ClickBank niches</a> section. Now the niches section is basically a   list of all the ClickBank niches, all the different subjects or topics   on ClickBank as arranged by us.</p>
<h3>Problem with ClickBank Marketplace</h3>
<p>The reason we did this is because we   found that as great as ClickBank was, it wasn&#8217;t superb in terms of the   way they structured the different niches. We did that ourselves, we   re-categorized, as you can see, hundreds and hundreds of ClickBank products into   these easy to follow keywords; you have Make Money, Affiliate Marketing,   Traffic, Lose fat, Detective, etc. And there are over 40 categories,   and we’re constantly re-categorizing and adding new products all the   time.</p>
<p>And you can see the number of affiliate programs in a given category also . We’ve got the three different ratings. We have   the total gravity of all affiliate programs in that given niche; we have   related niches, so for example Make Money is related to Affiliate and   Traffic, Lose fat is related to Build Muscle. And we also have a little growth  icon, which shows whether the niche is going up or coming down.</p>
<p>So let’s click on that <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/lose_fat/niche2">Lose Fat Niche</a> and you’ll see that the   gravity has gone up and now it’s coming down and now it&#8217;s about to start   rising again. You’ll see we have related tags, we have the total   gravity of all affiliate programs in the niche, the average commission   percentage of all affiliate programs in the niche and the average dollar   per sale of all affiliate programs in that particular niche. We also   have an SEO rating, a pay per click rating and a JV rating as well.</p>
<h3>Affiliate  niches: In depth analysis</h3>
<p>If you scroll down, you&#8217;ll see that   we&#8217;ve actually provided an in-depth description of the niche in   question. So we explain exactly what the customer’s like, we explain how   the market works, how the niche works, what are the popular methods for   generating traffic in the niche, and so on and so forth. Again, there’s   a list of all the affiliate programs, there’s gravity and dollar per   sales in that niche, a list of potentially profitable keywords that you   can focus on. So in a nutshell, everything that you need to make money   with this given niche is presented to you in an easy to follow list.</p>
<p>Once again, the way to decide what niche you want to focus on is by   looking at the ratings. And if you want to use the SEO method, then   maybe you’ll focus on Lose Fat, if you want to use the PPC method, then   maybe you’ll focus on <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/build_muscle/niche11">Build Muscle</a> and so on and so forth.</p>
<p>I’ve just discussed the graphs and I’ve talked about the importance of   graphs in whether a niche is rising or falling. Another interesting   thing you can pick up from looking at these graphs, by the way, is   whether it&#8217;s a &#8220;product launch niche&#8221;. Now launches tend to be very up and down,   so the gravity will go all the way down and then will shoot up, then   will come back down, and then shoot up. And it will kind of repeat   itself, so you’ll have these massive spikes where the gravity shoots up   and then it shoots down, and then it shoots back up again.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/forex/niche4">Forex niche on ClickBank</a> is another one where   there are a lot of launches; you see this very up and down graph   numbers, so they&#8217;ll be up and then come down, and then up and then down.</p>
<p>So if you want to look at a niche where there are lots of new   products being launched, then watch for those up and down graphs,   because they suggest that there are lots of launches going on in that   particular niche.</p>
<p>Now, two final points before I finish up. Firstly, regarding the   niche pages, you’ll see that we have our own <a href="http://twitter.com/chrisdjk">Affiliate X Twitter page</a> . Now I’m not   a huge Twitter fan, but we do have our own Twitter profile and the   reason we have it is because it allows us to quickly keep you updated   with any new changes on our Hot 100 and niche pages, along with any new   products that are coming out. So if you want to quickly stay in touch   and find out what the new products are, then please click <a href="http://twitter.com/chrisdjk">here</a>, and then the Follow   Me icon and follow us on Twitter.</p>
<p>Secondly, bear in mind that the ClickBank 100 and niche pages are updated every 24   hours, so do check back and do keep your eyes open, because there are   always new products coming in, there are always new products shooting up   and down the marketplace and it’s just very, very useful to keep your   eye on the Hot 100.</p>
<p>So hopefully this video has explained to you exactly   <a title="choose affiliate programs" href="http://blog.affiliatex.com/finding-clickbank-affiliate-programs">how to choose affiliate programs</a> and niches using the Affiliate X   website. Remember to check out the <a title="clickbank niches" href="http://affiliatex.com/top_100_niches">ClickBank niches</a> page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One product which has been hotly anticipated by me is <strong>Google Sniper 2.0</strong>.The good news is, its launching today &#8211; and we&#8217;ve got a pretty incredible bonus package, which you will definitely want to check out. But first, let&#8217;s start from the top.</p>
<h3>The story behind Google Sniper 2.0</h3>
<p>A few years back, George Brown was a furniture removal man, earning just a few bucks an hour. He desparately wanted a way out. He thought he&#8217;d finally found it when  he discovered the seedy world of &#8220;make money ebooks&#8221;.</p>
<p>But in the end all that happened was he&#8217;d lost  all his money on so-called &#8220;get rich quick&#8221; guides. He tried every tactics the gurus recommendeed &#8211; from SEO to PPC, from Twitter to PPV. Nothing worked.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s when he realized that he&#8217;d need  to find his own method if he was going to succeed online. And that&#8217;s how Google Sniper was born&#8230;</p>
<h3>Google Sniper: Overview</h3>
<p>Google Sniper is an incredibly simple system. George finds ultra targeted Google keywords, and then sets up tiny little sites to target those keywords. The idea is simple&#8230;</p>
<p>1) People go to Google, and search a keyword.<br />
2) George&#8217;s &#8220;Sniper site&#8221; appears at the top of Google, so people click on it. Free traffic for him.<br />
3) The visitor is then sold a ClickBank product that relates to what they&#8217;ve searched. Free affiliate commissions for George.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example of a sniper site that took George just a few hours to setup, but made George over $28,000:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cbgamechanger.com/images/blog/sniper.jpeg" alt="sniper" width="465" height="238" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a devastatingly simple tactic &#8211; but&#8230;</p>
<h3>Don&#8217;t think that you&#8217;ve seen this before&#8230;</h3>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">YOU HAVEN&#8217;T</span>. This is truly different to any other traffic-getting or SEO system out there. Here&#8217;s what makes Google Sniper 2.0 so unique:</p>
<p>• Consistency &#8211; Google Sniper has made George between $856 and $1,549 per day as an affiliate. And he&#8217;s done that everyday, over 700 days in a row.<br />
• Automation &#8211; Once a Sniper site is setup, Google spends absolutely ZERO time maintaining it. The site just runs on auto-pilot with ZERO effort whatsoever.<br />
• Simplicity &#8211; George&#8217;s method is completely idiot-proof. He doesn&#8217;t need &#8220;back-links&#8221; to get traffic, doesn&#8217;t do a lot of writing, and it&#8217;s all explained in black and white.</p>
<p>And he doesn&#8217;t have any hyped up &#8220;traffic software&#8221; tools. In fact, he doesn&#8217;t even CARE about traffic. Because last year, he reeled in  over $534,000 without worrying about whether his sites will get a single visitor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this post, I’m going to show you how you can <strong>find profitable ClickBank niches and ClickBank affiliate programs</strong> using <a title="Affiliate x pro" href="http://affiliatex.com/upgrade">Affiliate X Pro</a>.</p>
<p>You can watch this video, or follow along with me using the text&#8230;</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="337" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="flashvars" value="author=Chris&amp;file=http://www.cbgamechanger.com/videos/choosingaffprogs/choosingaffprogs.flv&amp;start=0&amp;title=Video 1&amp;screencolor=#000000&amp;bufferlength=5&amp;autostart=false&amp;skin=http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/modieus.swf" /><param name="src" value="http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/player-licensed-viral.swf" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="337" src="http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/player-licensed-viral.swf" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="author=Chris&amp;file=http://www.cbgamechanger.com/videos/choosingaffprogs/choosingaffprogs.flv&amp;start=0&amp;title=Video 1&amp;screencolor=#000000&amp;bufferlength=5&amp;autostart=false&amp;skin=http://affiliatexwebsite.com/vid/modieus.swf" bgcolor="#000000"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now, when you’re looking for niches and affiliate programs you have   two links that you really want to focus on. The first is the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">ClickBank   Hot 100</a>, which you can access by clicking <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">here</a>. And the second is   the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/top_100_niches">affiliate niches</a> link, which you can access by clicking <a href="http://affiliatex.com/top_100_niches">here</a>. And   you can start your search either by looking for affiliate programs on   the Hot 100 or by looking for niches on this page.</p>
<h3>Choosing ClickBank affiliate programs</h3>
<p>So, let’s start with the ClickBank Hot 100. Firstly, be sure to log into your Affiliate X account by   clicking on the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/login">Affiliate X log in link</a>. Log in and then you   can view all 100 ClickBank products on the hot 100, which you can see goes all the way down.   And you can view all of the data and information on here, but you do   have to be logged in to be able to see all of that.</p>
<p>So let’s quickly run through each of the features of the pages.   Firstly, we have arranged all of the products on ClickBank by gravity.   We’re the only site that does this. Typically, you can expect anywhere   from a product with a gravity of 50 up to a product with a gravity of   over a thousand.</p>
<p>You can see the gravity number, the  name of the ClickBank product, and by   the way if you hover over any of these links,  you’ll be   able to preview the headline of the product in question, which is quite a   cool little feature. We have the number of keywords, profitable   keywords that we found for that given affiliate program which you can   see varies depending on the niche. So for example, for some niches it’s   reasonably lower, it’s in the 50s, for others it’s in the hundreds.</p>
<h3>The best affiliate programs to promote with Twitter, SEO &amp; PPC</h3>
<p>We’ve also rated each affiliate program and each niche out of three   for SEO, PPC and Twitter, and each rating is a maximum of two, so it&#8217;s   either zero stars, one star or two stars. So it allows you to quickly   see which one of the Affiliate X methods is going to be best to apply to   that given affiliate program.</p>
<p>We have a growth number, which is out of a maximum of five; so you   can see this one here is falling in terms of gravity and this is one   here is very much rising. We have average dollar per sale, a trends   column and a create website column as well, which I’ll save for another   time.</p>
<h3>Analysing ClickBank trends</h3>
<p>Now the trends column, if we click on that trends icon there,   you’ll be presented with a page  which displays the gravity   number, the commission number and the referred percentage over the last   seven days for that affiliate program. And we also have a short   description here, which is taken from the <a href="https://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm">ClickBank marketplace</a>. In case   you don’t know what any of these sections mean you can hover over the   question mark and it will be explained to you.</p>
<h3>Filtering ClickBank products</h3>
<p>Now one of the cool features about the Hot 100   is that you can run filters. And the way you do this is by choosing the   niche that you want, the minimum dollar earned per sale, so if you only   want to promote affiliate programs that have got $50 minimum that you   can make from each sale, you can do that; and gravity number. So you   maybe you want to focus on really tiny products that no one else knows   about, in which case you will go for very low gravity, for example less   than 10. This will for example bring up the products like, say, the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/affiliateprograms/Official_Traffic_Evolution/id23872">Traffic Evolution affiliate program page</a>.</p>
<p>Or maybe you only want to focus on the really profitable, really   popular products, in which case you’ll go with a gravity of more than   100. This will bring up products like, say, <a href="http://affiliatex.com/affiliateprograms/The_Magic_Of/id1498">The Magic of Making up affiliate page</a>.</p>
<p>And of course, you can customize that in depth; so for example, you could   choose lose fat products with a dollar earned of more $20 and a gravity   of above 50. And if I hit search, as you can see there are only six   products that match that criteria found.</p>
<h3>Individual  Affiliate  Pages</h3>
<p>If I click on the affiliate program in question, you’ll see we’ve got   a link here to the page; again if we hover over it, we’ll see a preview   of the headline. We have a preview of the   site, we have the growth, whether it&#8217;s going up or down, again the stats   that we can click on, the current gravity, the current dollar earned   and the current percentage payout that’s given to affiliates. We have a   rating of the product, out of a maximum of two, for SEO Organic, PPC   i.e. Google AdWords, and Twitter. We have the related niche, a ClickBank   marketplace description and these keywords here. If I click on this   keywords link, you’ll see that we have a list of all the keywords, both   Google AdWords and SEO that we found that are going to be profitable for   this given affiliate program. So that’s basically all the data that we   need to make money using this affiliate program.</p>
<p>Now in terms of what you actually want to do when you find an   affiliate program you want to promote using the Hot 100, you’ll want to   promote it using the methods that are inside here, in the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/upgrade">Make Money</a> section. And the method that you choose will depend on the rating we   give that particular affiliate program and these three columns here. So   for example, <a href="http://affiliatex.com/affiliateprograms/PeopleSearchAffiliatescom_For_Over/id1497">Reverse Phone Lookup</a>, has the maximum rating for   the PPC method. So you’ll want to go to the Make Money section and apply   our PPC method, which is the PPC Gap. Likewise if you see a high SEO   rating, for example <a href="http://affiliatex.com/affiliateprograms/The_Diet_Solution/id4658">The Diet Solution</a> has a rating of two, you want to   apply our SEO method etc.</p>
<p>Now, three quick points before I finish up on the Hot 100. The first   point is that you’ll see we have a total gravity number for all the   products in the ClickBank marketplace, which is a useful way for you to   work out whether all the products on Clickbank are doing well or are   going down.</p>
<p>The second point that I want to make, in regards to the Hot 100   before moving on, is that as much as it&#8217;s great to promote any one of   these products and just look and see whether it&#8217;s got a higher rating   for a given tactic, one way to sort of tip the balance in your favour is   by looking at whether the product is growing, whether it’s going up in   terms of gravity.</p>
<p>And you can see that by looking in the Growth column and looking for   these green arrows pointing up. So for example, you might  see that the gravity has gone up by   20 or so in the last couple of days. So it&#8217;s possible that they’ve   changed something in the sales letter and there&#8217;s some kind of new thing   which has gone on, which means you&#8217;ll want to promote it and jump on it   right now. So that’s the first indicator to look for to see if it’s a   product you should promote; whether it’s increased in gravity, which you   can see from these green arrows.</p>
<h3>Finding Hot ClickBank Affiliate Programs</h3>
<p>The second thing that you’ll want to look for to <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">find hot ClickBank products</a>, is one of two icons that we use on the Hot 100. The   first of which is this HOT icon &#8211; and that’s a product that I know   people are making money from, so I’m either making money from it myself   right now or someone who I’m very close with is making money from it. So   these are definitely products which you should consider.</p>
<h3>Finding New ClickBank Products</h3>
<p>The second   type of icon you’ll see is the new icon, and normally there would be one or two new icons   if not many more. New   ClickBank products are good to promote because there&#8217;s not a lot of competition,   no one&#8217;s really seen them and generally there&#8217;s a lot of money to be   made with new products.</p>
<p>So in a nutshell, look at the Growth column and focus on products   that are increasing, and look for either hot icons like this or new   icons on the left-hand side. And by and large, those are the products   you want to focus on. And of course in terms of how exactly to make   money with them, pay attention to these three columns here and apply the   relevant section in Affiliate X to make money with that given affiliate   program.</p>
<p>Second point regarding this ClickBank tab is you also have a new   product launches section and in this section we’ll keep you updated on   any new affiliate launches, any new affiliate programs that are   happening in the ClickBank space. And these are great because a lot of   the time you’ll see new products that other people don’t know about   weeks before they launch. They’ll appear in this section, giving you an   early advantage to either set up a PPC campaign, get ready to promote   them on Twitter or to promote them using the SEO method, which can also   be very profitable especially if you target keywords such as the brand   name of a product. So that’s the Hot 100 section.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.affiliatex.com/clickbank-gravity-the-shocking-truth-part-1/">Yesterday, we talked about ClickBank gravity</a>, and came to a few conclusions:</p>
<p>1) All ClickBank gravity is at an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all-time high </span>at the moment<br />
2) Just 1% of ClickBank vendors hold 10% of the gravity wealth.</p>
<p>The stats just don&#8217;t lie: a tiny &#8220;elite&#8221; control a very big slice of the pie. And it seems to be getting worse.</p>
<p>Today, we&#8217;re going to look at exactly why this is the case. Here goes&#8230;</p>
<h3>High gravity is a virtuous cycle</h3>
<p>Personal experience tells me  that the #1 product on ClickBank (in the most popular <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/mkplSearchResult.htm?mainCategoryId=1308&amp;sortField=POPULARITY&amp;b1=1308&amp;catFromNav=true">e-business &amp; marketing</a> category) will get as much as <strong>three times</strong> as many clicks as the #5 product on the same page.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had products that were #1 on the ClickBank marketplace a few times (although it was a long time ago, and the categories were different back then, anyone <a href="http://www.theclickbankguide.com/money-employment.html">remember money &amp; employment?</a>).</p>
<p>Now  I can tell you,  you that</p>
<p>1) you generate a huge amount of referring traffic when you&#8217;re at the top (thousands of ultra targeted visits per day), and</p>
<p>2)  that traffic  falls <em>off a cliff</em> as your position slides even slightly. That&#8217;s part of the reason you see gravity&#8217;s fall so fast &#8211; fewer affiliates seeing a product on the marketplace, fewer people promoting  or buying it.</p>
<p>Winner. Takes. All.</p>
<p>Or is it?</p>
<p>Well, perhaps not.</p>
<p>And for two vitally important reasons.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s pull back the curtain, and see what&#8217;s <em>really</em> going on <em>behind</em> the numbers&#8230;</p>
<h3>Gravity does NOT equal sales</h3>
<p>Remember that  gravity is not a perfect indicator of sales. It just tracks unique affiliates who have generated a sale &#8211; see point 6 <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/ranking.html">here</a>. So for example if 10 affiliates sell 1 copy of a given product each, that will result in a gravity of 10.</p>
<p>If, however, just one affiliate sells 100 copies of a product, then that will result in a gravity of just 1.</p>
<p>So, again, gravity tracks sales by individual affiliates, irrespective of how many each sells. For the purposes of gravity, 100 sales by 1 affiliate is the same as 1 sale by 1 affiliate &#8211; a total of one extra gravity in either case.</p>
<p>This is important because products in the &#8220;make money&#8221; niches (ie the. <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/make_money/niche3"> make money</a>, <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/affiliate/niche21">affiliate</a>, <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/traffic/niche45">traffic</a> niches <a href="http://affiliatex.com/top_100_niches">etc</a>), gravity tends to be inflated heavily. The reason is simple: many potential buyers in these niches are also ClickBank affiliates, and the<em>y know they can buy products via their own links</em>.</p>
<p><strong>And this serves to artificially inflate the gravity number for &#8220;make money&#8221; products</strong>.</p>
<p>One response to this would be to go off ClickBank&#8217;s popularity number (which is how the marketplace is arranged by default). But that, like gravity, popularity is heavily skewed towards very recent purchases &#8211; and so even that doesn&#8217;t tell the full picture of who the consistent sellers are.</p>
<p>Why can&#8217;t we trust popularity to weed out the consistent sellers?</p>
<p>Well, It&#8217;s down to the second issue&#8230;</p>
<h3>Launches reign supreme in the make money niches</h3>
<p>In the &#8220;make money&#8221; niches, products aren&#8217;t released in a slow, &#8220;let it go viral on its own&#8221; fashion. Instead they often are released in a sudden &#8220;<a href="http://productlaunchformula.com/blog/">product launch</a>&#8220;, a choreographed event where the goal is to create a rabid  event and drive thousands of visitors to a site in a short period of time.</p>
<p>Much of the traffic comes from e-mail lists (arguably the fastest way to drive masses of targeted traffic), instead of slower, more consistent sources like PPV and PPC that are dominant in other niches less focused on launches.</p>
<p>This results in a huge spike of sales in a short space of time. And you can see it by looking at the lumpy, up-and-down gravity graphs on some of the make money <a href="http://affiliatex.com/top_100_niches">niches</a>.</p>
<p>For example look at the gravity graph for the make money niche (<a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/make_money/niche3">go here</a> for the up to date graph):</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cbgamechanger.com/images/blog/makemoneygravity.png" alt="" width="473" height="230" /></p>
<p>Note how the gravity has bounced up from 10,208 to 11,776 in just a few weeks &#8211; almost a 20% increase.</p>
<p>Now contrast that with the graph for the fat loss niche (again <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/lose_fat/niche2">go here</a> for the most up to date graph, plus other info on the fat loss niche):</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cbgamechanger.com/images/blog/falossgraph.png" alt="" width="473" height="230" /></p>
<p>Apart from the fact that this has a much smaller gravity (which I will return to), note how the <em>gravity has barely changed</em>.</p>
<p>In a month, its been bouncing between 1944 and 1980 &#8211; a difference of just 2%.</p>
<h3>The Formula For Crazy ClickBank gravity?</h3>
<p>What&#8217;s interesting  is that these two factors combine with each other to produce a consistently skewed gravity.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s always a launch going on, and there&#8217;s also people buying through their own link. And when you combine the two,  there&#8217;s always lots of biz opp products on top of ClickBank.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, there are some niches where big launches are commonplace &#8211; most notably <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/dating/niche7">dating</a>, <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/forex/niche4">Forex</a> and <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/gambling/niche5">Gambling</a> &#8211; but the gravity numbers for these niches  tend to be much lower, and much more stable. Why? Because forex traders and dating enthusiasts don&#8217;t know about ClickBank, and so can&#8217;t buy about through their own hoplinks.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve personally witnessed  <strong>six figure launches in all these niches where the gravity hasn&#8217;t gone over 30</strong>.</p>
<p>If a &#8220;make money&#8221; (&#8220;biz opp&#8221;) launch did that well, the gravity would be ten times as high.</p>
<h3>The Biggest Niche On ClickBank?</h3>
<p>By the way, this talk of gravity and sales not being perfectly correllated is especially interesting because rumour has it, the biggest vendor on ClickBank is in the fat loss niche (I got that on very reliable intelligence), and there&#8217;s a good chance that <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/lose_fat/niche2">lose fat</a> is the biggest niche on ClickBank, not the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank/make_money/niche3">make money niche</a> &#8211; even though the latter has a total gravity almost ten times the size.</p>
<p>The conclusion of all this?</p>
<p>Look beyond gravity when analysing ClickBank products. A 20% increase in global gravity doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that ClickBank has increased by 20% across the board. Just that certain niches have swelled in size. So pay attention to those niches in particular. Oh, and one final thought&#8230; get one of <a href="http://affiliatex.com/upgrade">these</a>. You&#8217;ll need it in the next few weeks (watch <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">this</a> space).</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ve noticed, but it looks like the <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">ClickBank global gravity</a> might top 50,000 for the first time in over 6 months.</p>
<p>As of February 8th, its sitting at over 49,423. And its trending UP:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cbgamechanger.com/images/blog/affxhigh2.jpeg" alt="ClickBank Peak" width="559" height="90" /></p>
<p>Bare in mind, it was running at about 41,000 in the month of December &#8211; so that makes a total increase of almost 20% in gravity.</p>
<p>Now that&#8217;s a pretty big increase in the space of just a few weeks for a company that turns over more than <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/blog/tag/currency/">$300 million</a> per year (probably much more by now)</p>
<p>Now before we look at <em>why</em> the jump is so big, let&#8217;s look at how we arrive at that gravity number in the first place.</p>
<p>This is important, so please pay attention&#8230;</p>
<h3>ClickBank Gravity: An Overview</h3>
<p>Firstly,  the above number is the total gravity of the all the products on ClickBank (from the #1 down to all those with just 1 gravity). The total gravity for our <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">ClickBank top 100 affiliate programs</a> is about one third of that entire number. Here&#8217;s a quick table to show you what I mean.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve broken down the entire ClickBank hot 100 by the average gravity of the first ten products, then  11-20, etc. If you&#8217;ve got an <a href="http://affiliatex.com/upgrade">Affiliate X pro</a> account you&#8217;ll   be able to look at all 100 products:</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Ranking for the ClickBank  100 </strong></td>
<td><strong>Average  gravity</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1-10</td>
<td>427</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>11-20</td>
<td>291</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>21-30</td>
<td>210</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>31-40</td>
<td>169</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>41-50</td>
<td>141</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>51-60</td>
<td>123</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>61-70</td>
<td>109</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>71-80</td>
<td>98</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>81-90</td>
<td>90</td>

<tr>
<td>91-100</td>
<td>84</td>

<tr>
<td>TOTAL OF ALL AVERAGES</td>
<td>1,742</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>TOTAL, ALL 100 PRODUCTS</strong></td>
<td><strong>17,420</strong></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Now here&#8217;s what we can conclude from this simple little graph&#8230;</p>
<h3>ClickBank Gravity Is Winner Takes All</h3>
<p>What&#8217;s should strike you here is that ClickBank appears  to be  &#8220;winner takes all&#8221; &#8211; ie. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle">the 80/20 rule</a> reigns supreme.</p>
<p><em>Not only do the top 100 products on ClickBank make up <strong>35.25%</strong> of ALL the gravity on ClickBank. But the top 10 products make up almost 10% of all the gravity <strong>on their own</strong>. </em></p>
<p>When you consider that there are over <strong>12,000</strong> products on the site, that&#8217;s pretty scary.</p>
<p><strong>Less than 1% of ClickBank vendors hold 10% of the gravity wealth.</strong></p>
<p>Hell, this &#8220;winner takes all imbalance&#8221; even exists <em>within</em> the top 100 itself.</p>
<p>So the giants walk with even bigger giants. Take, for example, the #1 product (currently Mass Money Makers), which has a higher gravity (1,276) than products 8-10 (total of 1,192):</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cbgamechanger.com/images/blog/biggap.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="159" /></p>
<p>(Note: this gap was even bigger in January when Mass Money Makers had just set a <a href="http://blog.affiliatex.com/clickbank-gravity-record-breaker/">ClickBank record for highest ever gravity</a>. And the exact numbers might vary, but the basic &#8220;80/20&#8243; rule always holds true).</p>
<p>When you go further down the top 500, the big differences in gravity start to flatten out &#8211; and fast.</p>
<p>For example, let&#8217;s look at the split across all 500 <a href="http://affiliatex.com/clickbank_hot_100">ClickBank  affiliate programs</a>:</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Hot 100 ranking #</strong></td>
<td><strong>Gravity</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>1,276</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>100</td>
<td>80</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>200</td>
<td>43</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>300</td>
<td>28</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>400</td>
<td>21</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>500</td>
<td>17</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Note how literally just 4 gravity separates #400 and #500&#8230; but over 1,000 gravity separates 1 and 100.</p>
<p>So what explains all of this? Well, we&#8217;ll look at that tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re struggling to convert the traffic to your sites into paying customers then you&#8217;re  not alone.</p>
<p>Getting traffic and converting them into buyers is one factor that separates those who are massively profitable online and the rest who just about scrape through a few dollars profit or decide to &#8216;throw the towel in&#8217; on the whole internet marketing thing.</p>
<p>But what if you could tap into a traffic source that could take you from zero to $45,506.60 in just one month. This is exactly what happened to a 21 year old kid from New York and it happened quite by accident when he was visiting some of his friends at university.</p>
<p>The result was the creation of his brand new offline traffic source that exploded without selling anything at all.</p>
<p>In fact to say he discovered this by &#8216;accident&#8217; is an understatement.  This guy spent most of his time surfing the web looking for opportunities to make a buck here and there without much success. But what happened when he was on campus with his well adjusted university friends he noticed something that they all had in common.</p>
<p>And that was his &#8216;light bulb&#8217; moment that he tapped into to access a swamp of untouched traffic that he could profit from.</p>
<p>In record time he took himself from earning next to nothing a day to over $45,000 in one month.</p>
<p>Jacobo Benitez is revealing how he made this massive leap so quickly in his life-changing &#8216;Offline Commissions&#8217; report launching Friday Wednesday 8th February.</p>
<p>In it he reveals a new and very interesting method to drive very targeted offline traffic to online offers and make money without selling anything.</p>
<p>Offline Commissions launches Tuesday 8th February, a proven method written by someone who actually walks the talk this traffic method works extremely well so if you want traffic that will actually convert into cash paying customers keep a watch out for this one &#8211; it&#8217;s going to be a huge success.</p>
