My Life As A Fun Loving Internet Marketer…

Hey guys. Am trying to go minimalist and own as few things as possible and have decided to throw a little gadget sale to get rid of all seldom used gadgets. As I live in Kuala Lumpur these items are only available to those living in KL. Here’s the list :

First up : My Arcam IR Ipod Dock. I bought this new from the UK but have since upgraded to all-in-one home cinema system that comes with a built in ipod dock. Perfect condition like new. Used maybe 3 times. Comes in box with manuals etc. Nothing missing and no scratches etc. Absolutely mint!

Got it new not more than 6 months ago for RM650. Selling for RM300

Next on the list : PSB Alpha LR1 Bookshelf Speakers. As I’ve upgraded to a new home cinema system I’ve got a whole set of speakers so don’t need these anymore. Bought them also not more than 6 months ago. Also mint condition.

Product link : http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/alpha/Alpha-LR1-Monitor

Bought these new from the audio shop in Bangsar Village. Can’t remember exactly how much but roughly RM600-650 I think. Selling for RM350. Will also throw in a pair of Audio Quest speaker cables. One’s only 1 metre in length and the other one’s 3 meters.

Nintendo Wii. Yes have finally decided to sell my Nintendo Wii (sigh*). I used to play games like tennis, mario kart and house of the dead pretty often when I first got it but I hardly use it anymore Its a Japan modded version and everything .eg menus are in English. Good condition and works perfectly but the sensor cable was bitten off by a cat. I’ve connected it with electrical tape and it works fine. You’ll see how it looks in the picture below. Also throwing in 2x guns, numchuk, 2x controllers with silicone covers and the big gun (not sure what its called but you’ll see it in the photo). I’ll be giving you everything in the photo. No games on the hard disk but I’ve got some game disc’s that I’ll give you as well. House of the dead, Sports e.g tennis, Mario Kart, Resident Evil and few others.

Am also going to throw in my Sony Playstation Portable for free. I’ve lost the charger and the battery doesn’t work but if you buy a new battery and charger it’ll work just fine. It also hasn’t been used very much although I did purchase it a few years ago. Asking price : RM450 for everything.

Now for my apple products. Am selling my airport express. I bought it cause I wanted to print wirelessly from my laptop but I hardly ever to do and print mostly from my desktop. Only few months old. Also selling my Apple 30 inch display monitor. Had it for about 4 years and bought it new from Smack in Bangsar Village. I want to use a dual monitor setup and get two 27 inch monitors and that’s why am selling this. Works perfectly and no scratches. Mint!

Airport Express selling for : Rm150. Apple 30 inch display selling for : RM3000. If you buy the display I’ll throw in the airport express for free.

That’s all for now folks. Send me a message if you’re interested. If you buy a bunch of stuff I’ll give you more of a discount.

Helloo….wow its been awhile. Can’t believe my last post was 6 months ago. Thats how long I’ve been in my hole. I just can’t seem to find the time to blog these days. A couple of weeks ago I purchased a time management course by Jimmy Brown. I thoroughly enjoyed it and implemented some of the time managements techniques. Now I just gotta try and stick to it. I’ve actually gone and designed my weekly activity chart which based on the plan requires only 4 hours of work/day. Can’t quite seem to stick to that though….

Well anyway. Here’s what I’ve been up to. I can’t remember if I mentioned this in one of my earlier posts but I’ve now moved over to Yahoo and thru blood sweat and tears I’ve actually managed to rebuild my campaigns and achieve almost the same profits I was generating on Google Adwords. At one point I was getting slapped at least once a month. It was real hindrance to my productivity cuz every month instead of working on new campaigns I spent my time rebuilding the ones that got slapped. Now that I’m 80% on Yahoo life is just sooo much easier. Took a lot of hard work getting there tho.

The Secret To Making It Work on Yahoo

I can’t speak for everyone else but this is how I got my campaigns to work on Yahoo. Nothing is more important then Testing & Tracking and I mean REAL testing and tracking. Often times people (even myself till about 2 months ago) thought that I was doing enough testing and tracking by just split testing ads and tracking keyword conversions which resulted in my just pausing or deleting the non converting keywords. Now…my whole view of testing and tracking has changed.

Its freeeeeezing here in Star Bucks and for a Sunday the Mid Valley traffic seems to be unusually clear. These days I try to fit in a reading day where I spend a couple of hours once a week just reading and going through my book list. I’ve found that I tend to spend too much time on my business that I hardly ever have any fun anymore. Mind you I do consider sitting in front of my pc and developing campaigns or reading blogs fun (minus the wrist blisters and the blurring images due to eye fatigue). Gosh I sound like such a geek…but then again who cares as long as I enjoy it.

Anyway….that brings me to the topic of todays post. I wrote a post last year about the purchase of my new iMac and how I couldn’t quite get the hang of it especially since a lot of the software I used ran only on Windows. Well…I’ve somehow gone back to using my Mac and parallels desktop (after getting extremely frustrated with my Windows Vista) and I feel like I’m on a highway as opposed to a dirt path. Things just work so much smoother on the Mac and I don’t get the sudden freezes or lag that I experienced with Vista. I’ve now decided to go Mac all the way. I currently have a 20″ iMac, a Vista laptop and desktop. I spend most of my time working on my Vista desktop (with a HP 22inch screen) and am now going to indulge in a Mac Pro. Imagine a Mac Pro with dual 30inch Apple Cinema Displays — sweet! Unfortunately the Mac Pro isn’t cheap and the 30 inchers are just pure indulgence so I’ll stick to using my HP 22inch for now….one step at a step i guess!

I’ve also just downloaded the new Google Chrome browser and am still playing around with it so can’t quite comment on anything yet but I must say it looks good and is quite speedy as well. I know some people who have actually ditched Firefox in favor of Google Chrome. Can’t say if I’m one of them but will keep you posted. Sigh* yet another browser platform to test my landing pages for…….

CPA Offers - yup its CPA all the way for me now. The only CPS offer I’m managing now are the ones that I built much earlier and were all Clickbank products. I’ve signed up to quite a few CPA networks and CPA conversions just rock! I go for the super high traffic niches. Since I’m gonna be spending time on a campaign it might as well have the potential to be really big.

Over the past few days I purchased a couple of Adwords courses. I havent quite finished going through all of them but I just thought I’d share my findings. If you’ve signed up to Adwords specific mailing lists then you would have received promotional emails promoting Commission Blueprint. I received about 4 emails from different people promoting it and I’m a big fan of videos so I checked out the video link. I was kinda drawn into it and was curious about what it could offer so I signed up. It was a one off $77 cost.

The course basically consists of a pdf manual, landing page templates and 14 or so videos.  I’ve bought my fair share of Adwords courses over the past 2 years and am aware of the quality of a lot of them. Some very good…most just rehashed basic material. I’m not going to provide links as I wanted my review of these courses to be as unbiased as possible. Courses are not cheap and especially to us Malaysians so I wanted to provide you with a list of courses that were really worth the money.\ Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve all heard about Google’s duplicate content penalty but how does this affect PPC affiliate marketers?

I bought an adwords course and the expert on the call talked about a little about this so am just going to share what I learnt. Don’t want to get into trouble with the owner of the course so am not going to disclose it here..anyway here’s what I learnt from the course.

‘If you have multiple landing pages with only slight differences between them then just select one as your control page and insert a no crawl code into the rest of the similar landing pages so they don’t get crawled by the Google bot’

I haven’t done this yet but in my experience (can’t say for sure but…) most of my landing pages were hit either because the design was similar to another advertiser or it focused primarily on making a sale. Anyway most of my landing pages are unique and use PHP code to dynamically insert the new keyword into the landing page instead of creating 100s of landing page. Its easier maintenance with PHP. This way when I need to make a change to a link or image etc I just need to change one page instead of all of em….
