Newsletter #4

I hope everyone is doing well. My families prayers are with the victims of Hurricane Katrina. A donation button that links to the Red Cross page is on the home page of the site if you are inclined.

 

 A few new headers along with buy buttons and backgrounds have been added to the members area. A Camtasia video comes with the package along with resell rights. You can preview them here http://tomdean.net/Backgrounds.htm . Just login to get them they are under "Templates". 

Two excellent articles by Willie Crawford have been added to the Articles page. 

We have a wso going for warrior members. You can see it here if it is not sold out. See the ps at the end of this newsletter for some news about these deals.

Several pages have been updated including the Free Downloads - Recommended Tools - What's Working - Articles - Viral Techniques. An excellent free SEO ebook by Brad Callen is at the top of the Viral Techniques page.

This issue I decided to answer some questions I get about Niche Portal Builder - Cash Page Builder and Adsense

A member recently emailed me with some good questions about these two products.

I’m by no means an expert with these but here are my experiences along with some website, traffic and earnings examples.

You've used cashpagebuilder and NPB.

1. Which one is better, especially in terms of
traffic generation?

On my sites both programs seem to get about the same amount of traffic. CPB gets better click through rates for me & I am using the “out of the box” templates for all sites.

2. What are their differences?

The biggest difference is that NPB runs from the desktop as an exe program where CPB is a script that is installed on your server.

Niche Portal Builder http://www.nicheportalbuilder.com

NPB is downloaded and installed on your pc like any other program. You run it – put in your sites address/keyword/adsense id/site url/site keywords/email address and it generates web pages ready to upload to your server. It seems you get the best results from using just one keyword, like “dog” instead of “dog care”. A newsletter subscribe box is built in to the generated pages along with pages for visitors to submit an article or add a category. A page where webmasters can purchase advertising on the site for a monthly fee that you set is also built in. These extra features have had no results at all on any of my sites.

You can change the template it uses if you know how - I gave up on trying this but I didn’t try very hard : ) The default template is a bit plain. You can purchase more here http://www.npbtemplates.com  - this is the only place I have seen selling them.

NPB also offers a Reciprocal Linking Module that finds out the email and contact information of reciprocal link partners and allows you to mail them reciprocal link requests. You can even export the emails to a CSV file and use a bulk mailing software of your choice to send out the requests. I have not used this.

NPB directory generator cost $397 the Linking Module is $347

Cash Page Builder http://cashpagebuilder.com

CPB is a script that is installed on your server. You ftp the files to your server and cmod some of the files. Then run an install script that guides you through the installation. It is easier than you think. I have “extreme script phobia” (ESP) lol but got this one right the first time. After installation you login to an admin area and create your site from your chosen keywords and templates.

The CPB also offers some nice extra features. You can visit the page to see them, just scroll down to “Main Features Description” at the site http://cashpagebuilder.com/

CPB also offers about 5 different templates. They are all similar but they are nicer than the NPB template.

3. Any special price for cashpagebuilder?

They ask $97 for it at the site. If your a member of the warriors forum http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/default.asp which is free to join you can visit the WSO section (warriors special offers) where it is offered for $67. You can see this offer here  http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=47574  If you intend to join and buy from the wso please add some value to the site by contributing (posting) to the forum. You first post shouldn’t be a purchase.

John Smiley is the new owner of this script and unfortunately was displaced from his home due to Hurricane Katrina. Looking at the activity on the wso he is still actively offering the product. John is a great guy with excellent customer service.

Examples Earnings

Be careful about posting tons of websites with 1,000’s of pages quickly. It could get you de-listed from google. Add pages in a natural manner – slowly over time.

Use a domain that you are not attached to in case you get de-listed. I use .net names for these types of sites.

Add a blog to your site. This is my number one suggestion. I added blogs to some of my sites and post only occasionally… The result? The blog page is either the #1 or #2 entry to the site. Search Engines love blogs and they help you get indexed quickly.

These sites combined earn between $8.50 and $12.25 per day in adsense income. They are listed two ways – highest to lowest by earnings and by traffic for the past 7 days.

About XSite Pro

As you can see XSite Pro does a good job for adsense sites but it is a website editor not a directory generator. It will help you build sites quickly and easily insert google ads etc. IMHO it’s the best editor around for quickly building sales pages – adsense sites – product sites and other sites an online marketer may need.

You can also see that adsense is no quick way to make money online but a great way to generate some passive auto pilot income. The sites I showed you took about a month to start generating profit and it was just a few cents per day. They took just over 4.5 months to get to their current level.

If you do the math you can see that quite a bit of money can be made with generated content sites. However I would not count on that income staying steady or being around forever.

Building an easy to navigate site in a popular niche filled with quality content is the way to go. Keep updating the site add a blog even a forum and monetize it with related product. You can add links to related affiliate products from click bank etc. or create your own ebooks. A site like this will stay profitable in the long run

Here is the beginnings of a site that could be around for the long haul. 

http://weddings.askaboutthis.com People will always be getting married :) They will also be getting divorced I guess hmmm another niche site ides

BTW as always I encourage you to visit and join the Warriors Forum. A great education can be had there and some great deals. The wedding site above was sold by me in the wso section for $47. Only 10 were created and sold - a good deal for a nice site. I recently purchased a content management script  to create an online article directory. The site can be used for tons of projects other than an article directory and it came with resell rights and the source code! It was truly an amazing deal. It will be for sale at this site a bit down the road at $97. It is easily a $197 value.

Next Issue - I have purchased a little wso for everyone and will also be running a contest along the lines of - who can make the best product or website from the wso using only tools available in the members area. Let me know what you think a good prize might be. I was leaning toward an adsense website made for you by Big Mike (makes excellent money earning sites) uploaded and ready to go with a free year of hosting. Maybe an apple ipod or something eveyone may want.  Send your suggestions thomasdean@comcast.net meantime I will be figuring out the legal aspects :(  to see if I can run this informal contest and who the judges might be. About suggestions - I need to keep the value at $200 or below and it needs to be small if I ship it over seas.

Take Care

ps -  I have decided to add a section in the members area to offer similar deals that we run in the wso (warriors special offers) section of the warriors forum to our members only. This came about from all the emails received requesting to purchase an item that was seen in the wso section of the warriors forum but had sold out. These deals are limited to prevent to many people from selling the same product or having the same adsense websites online. This gives buyers a chance to actually make money from the product. The [edited out] is a good example - wouldn't you rather only have 10 of these sites online instead of 50 or 150? If you consider purchasing a site from any source run it through copy scape to see if there are 50 of the same sites online. Look for the new section in the members area soon.
