			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img height="125" hspace="5" src="http://www.affiliateclassroom.com/blog/AffiliateElite_Box.jpg" width="128" align="left" vspace="4" /> Right now, you can use<a title="Affiliate Elite" href="http://singal.bryxen9.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank"> Affiliate Elite</a> to <strong>find profitable keywords, and spy on the competition for just $4.95!</strong> </p>
<p>Affiliate Elite is a tool for affiliate marketers that offers more than one way to evaluate the performance of keywords.  With it, keywords can either be evaluated by merchant, or by other affiliates.  This allows you to identify opportunities by looking at what works for your competitors and what doesn&#8217;t - even down to the ad copy. </p>
<p>If you have your own products to promote, you can easily find affiliates who promote similar or competitive products, which is a goldmine to a product owner!</p>
<p>The Affiliate Elite tool is really very easy to use. You just click the dropdown selections on what you would like to do, fill in a few blanks, and the information is returned to you in an exportable format. It is one of those rare products that helps both PPC efforts and personal product sales.</p>
<p>Here are just a few highlights of Affiliate Elite:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Find Profitable Affiliate Products to Promote:&#8221;</strong> What we liked about the Clickbank feature is that it uploades ALL of the Clickbank products so you can quickly scan through them.  Better yet, you can sort by any field you want - Category, Rank, Earnings, Gravity, etc.  It even shows if the product has a recurring factor!  Now you can easily find products in any niche; chose those with the biggest payouts; and continue to increase your monthly income. </p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a special sort function on the right of the screen that makes it even easier to find products based on keywords, web sites, or whatever.  The ability to search by keyword and then sort by any field you want will GREATLY reduce the time you currently spend finding profitable products to market.</p>
<p>Another helpful feature is the ability to click on any of the results and have the sales page pop up in a window below the result list. How cool is that!</p>
<p>Then there is what&#8217;s called the <strong>spy feature</strong>.  Using this feature you can see what keywords your competition is bidding on – and how much they’re paying. We checked our site&#8217;s keywords first – just to see how accurate the software was, and then checked our competitors’ sites.  It was a nice surprise to find out that if we increased our bid by just a FEW CENTS, we can jump right over our major competitors!  </p>
<p>Can you see how that could increase your profit potential? You should definitely be able to get more sales – for less!</p>
<p>The <strong>&#8220;Analyze Adwords Competition&#8221;</strong> area is where you can see what your competitors’ ads look like.  This is surprisingly useful when writing new ads, or fine-tuning copy to get better results.</p>
<p>If you own a product, you will not be disappointed by the &#8220;<strong>Find Super Affiliates</strong>&#8221; feature.  You can add merchant information from three large networks and find out who is marketing their products.  Then you can contact them and ask them to market YOUR product.  Maybe you can even steal them away and have your product marketed exclusively!</p>
<p>Time is money, and Affiliate Elite is a very small investment to make to get back a LOT of your precious time.<strong> </strong><a title="Affiliate Elite" href="http://singal.bryxen9.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank"><strong>Test it out today for just $4.95</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="140" vspace="6" hspace="7" height="184" align="left" src="http://www.affiliateclassroom.com/blog/pqc_ebook_stack.jpg" />It&#8217;s not often you read an ebook that just about everyone  can learn from - from beginners to experienced marketers. But this is definitely one of them.  It shows you how you can break into hot niches with relative ease, fatten up  your bank account, and even piggy-back on the &#8220;guru launches&#8221; - and  <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">in as little time as a weekend</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The ebook is <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">Alok Jain&#8217;s Project Quick Cash</a></strong>, and it delivers  everything it promises. Spend  just an hour reading it, and you&#8217;ll be able to put two, maybe even three of his  five cash-generating techniques to work for you right away - and without  spending a lot of time or money.</p>
<p>The  <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">five separate techniques are explained fully</a></strong>, and in a step-by-step fashion. As  long as you understand some of the basics of online marketing, such as getting  a domain name and signing up for an affiliate program, you won&#8217;t have any  trouble following along.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s  what another AC Staffer - who&#8217;s relatively new to the publisher side - had to  say:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I hear  about some affiliates building 20,000+ keywords, it just sounds intimidating -  so much to build, invest in, and manage! But Alok&#8217;s techniques describe <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">easy  baby steps</a> </strong>that also have the huge benefit of generating cash very quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Technique  #1:  By the time I got to page 20, I was  so motivated, I almost put down the book so I could get started!</strong>  Most valuable tips: what your maximum keyword  bid should be, and WHEN you should tweak your ad copy.</p>
<p><strong>Technique  #2: No cost out of pocket, except for buying a domain name. </strong>Building a blog exactly  as Alok recommends takes a bit of time - but not that much! This one&#8217;s well  within the reach of anyone with a few dollars, and can yield sales fast.</p>
<p><strong>Technique  # 3: So easy - just find a subject I’m interested in, and participate in online  communities.</strong> And it&#8217;s fun! Close to zero out of pocket, and it&#8217;s such a nice  way to monetize something you enjoy or are passionate about.</p>
<p><strong>Technique  # 4: A great introduction to AdWords.</strong> The approach is very targeted, so it  definitely has a higher chance of return. Best advice: start slow and keep budgets  low. Plus you get specific suggestions on a daily budget and click bids.</p>
<p><strong>Technique # 5:  I love this - make quick money by riding the  coat tails of product launches.</strong> Even more valuable: Alok shows you how to expand  this long term, with higher results. And once you generate some quick money, it  builds on itself - so YOU can be the one who is approached to support new  product launches!</p></blockquote>
<p>Alok is a great teacher, too. &#8220;I  heard of one of these methods before,&#8221; said another of our reviewers,  &#8220;but didn&#8217;t understand it well enough to so it.  But it was <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">explained so well in Project Quick  Cash</a></strong> - I had no idea it was really this simple!&#8221;</p>
<p>After  reading <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">Project Quick Cash</a></strong>, you will have no doubt that Alok spent $30 on a project that earned him $13,150  in commissions for just 2 hours of work. But  what&#8217;s even better, you&#8217;ll know exactly HOW he did it, so you can copy his  success.  <a target="_blank" href="http://singal.projcash.hop.clickbank.net">Check it out here.</a>

<p>Once in a while a new service comes along that makes life so much easier for affiliates, we slap our foreheads and say &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t somebody think of this sooner?&#8221; We all know that video reviews of affiliate products can generate a lot of traffic and sales, but getting your video review online and in front of the right eyeballs can be a real challenge.</p>
<p>Now thanks to <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">Customer Review Videos</a></strong>, both affiliates and consumers have a central place to post honest reviews of products and services.</p>
<p>And for affiliates, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">Customer Review Videos</a></strong> not only makes it easy to build video review web sites in just about any niche you want - you can also start making money with those videos in multiple ways.</p>
<p>Three members of our staff tested <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">Customer Review Videos</a> </strong>out.  Let&#8217;s look at their findings&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Multiple Ways to Make Money</strong></p>
<p>Membership to <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">Customer Review Videos</a></strong> includes the ability to create squeeze pages AND build your own niche websites. You can easily embed brand new videos, or simply use videos that have already been placed on YouTube.</p>
<p>If that wasn&#8217;t enough, what really grabbed the attention of our reviewers were <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">the many ways affiliates can make additional money</a></strong>. The system allows you to add all the proven components of a high conversion page such as &#8220;Get It Now&#8221; links, and eBay and Amazon links - all automatically coded with your affiliate URL.</p>
<p>But it isn&#8217;t just about making money from the video itself - which is pretty good on its own. Customer Review Videos adds in additional viral marketing benefits. For example, your referral ID gets embedded in the video, and you earn all additional commissions if someone adds a social bookmark (like with Digg), if someone embeds the video into their blog, or even they email the video to a friend.</p>
<p><strong>Using the Site</strong></p>
<p>Basic membership in <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">Customer Review Videos</a></strong> is free, so you can sign up and look around with no risk. We were delighted to find that the interface was extremely easy to use (unlike some sites we&#8217;ve tried to figure out).  Everything you might want to do is all laid out in a simple format.</p>
<p>What if you&#8217;re new to the whole video marketing game, or new to affiliate marketing?  Detailed instructions are provided on how to select a niche, how to find a product and sign up as an affiliate, and how and where to search for appropriate videos.</p>
<p>The Platinum account is $69 a month, and completely worth it. You&#8217;ll need a Platinum account to do a few of the more advanced things, but it&#8217;s really a small price to pay for saving you so much time and money in building sites from scratch.</p>
<p>With the Platinum account you can:</p>
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Build Squeeze Pages</strong><br />
It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you have ever built a squeeze page before in your life. You are taken by the hand and guided through the process.</li>
<li><strong>Build Niche Websites</strong><br />
We tested this out by inputting a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/Member/Member_Main.cfm/u/guest/rid/1/vid/1001.html">video for our new Article Marketing site</a>. This took all of 5 minutes to complete (of course, we did have the video already created on YouTube). But just being able to click a few times and build an actual site saved hours and hours, and we didn&#8217;t have to pay a web designer to do it.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">To sum up Customer Review Videos</a></strong>:</p>
<p>Very easy to use.</p>
<p>With the Platinum account, you can quickly build video squeeze pages and niche websites.</p>
<p>Plenty of high quality videos to choose from, so you&#8217;re likely to find something that suits your niche.</p>
<p>Easy plug-ins to add multiple ways to make money (Amazon, eBay, etc.)</p>
<p>You can make a lot of additional money through viral video marketing - much more than simply embedding a video into your own site.</p></blockquote>
<p>We give <a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">Customer Review Videos</a> 5 stars - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.CustomerReviewVideos.com/VAM/Default.cfm/rid/744.html">click here</a> to check it out now!</p>
<blockquote><p>IMPORTANT UPDATE - GET $20 OFF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION UNTIL APRIL 30!</p>
<p>Use coupon code  april2008  when you checkout to get $20 off your monthly subscription for life.</p></blockquote>
