Web Marketing Strategy Update

I just bought Day Job Killer, the sure to be a smash sequel to Affiliate Project X which broke the Clickbank record for sales with almost 6,000 copies sold in the first week of release alone!

In case you’ve somehow missed what’s been going on, in September last year, just a few months after releasing his Adsense blockbuster, Adwords Miracle, fellow Mancunian Chris McNeeney took 12 newbie affiliates under his wing and trained them to be super affiliates.

Within a few weeks several of them were already making as much as $200 per day.

Then in October, Chris released Affiliate Project X, which explains exactly what he’d been teaching his group.

I bought that too — and made money as soon as I applied just one of the methods he described.

Now he’s done it again with Day Job Killer.

Last month Chris asked for applications for another 12 test subjects to learn what he described as “new, devious affiliate marketing techniques”.

Unsurprisingly, after what was revealed in Affiliate Project X, he received over 1,000 applications within a few days.

Back in March, Google bought Urchin Software Corporation and its online web analytics service.

The service enables website owners to track visitor behavior and marketing performance and was priced at $199/per month.

Now re-branded as Google Analytics the service is being offered free for up to 5 million pageviews a month, or with no limit at all if you’re an active AdWords publisher (you can use Google Analytics directly from the AdWords interface).

“Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site. You’ll be able to focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI, and improve your site to convert more visitors.”

Google Analytics can automatically provide AdWords ROI metrics, without you having to import cost data or add tracking information to keywords and you can track up to 50 profiles.

Sign up is via your Google account (this is becoming a very easy way for Google to learn all about you, no?) and requires pasting some JavaScript code into your web pages for tracking.

I plan to give it a try on one of my sites soon, in place of the more basic AWStats log file analyzer I currently use.
