I couldn’t believe someone had the balls to…
Friday, January 18th, 2008A few weeks ago, I was wandering through my logs and found that this one site was hitting one of my images a lot. I clicked on the link to see where it was and I found that the site had stolen one of my images! They were eating up my bandwidth and nobody had ever asked my permission, they not only swiped my image, but they left it on my server!
I got really upset and began this long process to replace the image with one that called out the site owner as a thief. It was fun, but it cost me a bit of time.
I even posted to here about it, so you would never have to figure out how to handle the situation if you ever faced it.
Recently, my friend Willie Crawford sent me an email about a product he did with some friends that would have prevented this long process.
This will replace any image that someone tries to “hotlink” to from one of your sites.
It will also stop them from copying the image and uploading it to theirs. The image shows up blank…
Possibly more important is the fact that it will protect any file. Even a pdf (no more of people posting your products on warez sites!).
I strongly recommend checking this one out!

Stompernet’s SMARTS Don Crowther bashes Howie Schwartz and Conversation Domination
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008I have been watching the Stompernet SMARTS launch closely. I knew something was coming when they started the free videos and began seeing emails from lists I’m on and some of my friends. However, I didn’t expect what came from those videos.
If you look at the videos, you’ll notice that there is next to nothing about social marketing in the content. It’s all SEO stuff. Social Marketing has to do with SEO, too, but I saw nothing social about the videos. Needless to say, I’m unimpressed. If the content in the course is anything like the videos, I’d say that it would be like wiping your behind with $1400 and flushing it straight down the toilet.
Beyond the videos and their content, Don Chowther took an opportunity on a recent teleseminar to bash my good friend Howie Schwartz. Howie’s Conversation Domination is the one and only social marketing product I have seen that is not only different, but insanely effective. To prove it, I’m using it to tell everyone that I can about my opinion of the SMARTS course and the actions of Stompernet. I’ll be combining my methods with Howie’s to show everyone exactly how the conversation can be dominated when two smart, ethical marketers combine their tactics and annihilate the competition.
For now, please don’t waste your hard earned money on SMARTS. If you want methods that truly work, Conversation Domination blows away anything that I believe Stompernet could ever put together. I’ve used some of the methods and they always work.
Remember that the key to social marketing is to provide content that people want, not crap and spam. If you do it right, you can dominate literally anything online. Nobody has seen SMARTS other than those that created it, so go with something that’s proven and grab Conversation Domination instead.

Announcing: I’m Giving Away 10 Tickets To The Masters Internet Marketing Seminar in Las Vegas!
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Before I give any details, I must tell a bit of a story.
In January of 2007, I contacted a guy through MySpace that was putting on a seminar. I simply sent him a message offering to help him out in exchange for a ticket.
That man was Ken McArthur and the event was JV Alert Live in Orlando.
He responded with a resounding “YES, come on down!” The problem was that he gave me a whopping 2 weeks notice. So, I made the necessary travel arrangements and flew down to Orlando.
The seminar was a business changing experience for me and Ken and I have grown to become close friends and partners on some of my upcoming projects.
The point of this is that I want to be able to help you like Ken helped me. I already have quite the crew to help out at the seminar, so I’m just going to give away 10 tickets.
All you have to do to get your hands on one of these tickets is record a video of yourself talking about how attending The Masters Seminar will help you and your business. Leaving a written comment is also acceptable, but video will definitely make more of an impact.
Post the video to YouTube and link to it from your comments. I will be posting them here for others to vote on, but I will have the last say about who gets to come and who doesn’t.
I wish I could give away more, but the event is filling up fast and 10 is already pushing it. I can’t wait to see what you have to say and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Las Vegas from January 25th through the 27th!
UPDATE: There will also be a contest for all of the attendees of the event. How would you like to have a one on one session with one of the speakers? 5 lucky attendees will be picked at the seminar to get 1 on 1 coaching at the event with one of our expert speakers.
Also, one of our speakers had a family issue and won’t be able to attend. What that means is that I’m pulling one of my VIPs in to cover his slot. I’ll be announcing the new speaker the week before the seminar.

The Traffic Manifesto Revisited. The Best Thing I’ve Ever Done!
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008Not too long ago, I was reading The Traffic Manifesto and realized that there was far more that I could add to it. I dove into rewriting it immediately and added another 30 pages of insane content.
I then looked at what I could do to add even more to it and added a members forum and even more bonuses to it.
I’m mere hours away from the relaunch and I have to tell you something.
I’m Thrilled!
I can’t wait to get it into more hands so you can have an easier time finding your customers online.
