We had been with our web host for a couple of years, and always received good technical support with hardly any downtime. Based on that, we had recently upgraded to a VPS account, which combined all our sites and gave us greater control and flexibility managing the sites.

Imagine our horror when without warning, all email from our various domains suddenly went off the air – missing in action. Shortly afterwards our main website also went down.

No amount of phoning, email requests or live chat calls resulted in any response – it’s a helpless and frustrating feeling to say the least. We had a contact in the sales department, who was also unable to get anyone technical to respond to us. (More on this when we finally move all our sites)

After a couple of days we started looking for another host, and decided to check out wwKiosk.com who were highly recommended by Mike Filsaime in his famous Resource Report. It didn’t take us long to realise that they offered certain services which put them a cut above the rest in the world of web hosting.

So, after two or three days of very hard work – setting up hosting and email accounts, uploading websites and re-testing everything, we were finally back on the air.

And finally, ELEVEN days later, we received an email response from our previous webhost, who noticed that our nameservers were no longer pointing to them. (Funny about that!)

Our disastrous experience has led us to several questions we should have asked ourselves when choosing a web host:

- Is there personal information available about the the owners and the staff?

- Does the company own and operate it’s own datacentres? (Many just rent the space, if one company’s servers go down, they all go down)

- Does the company own it’s own fibre optic lines? (Many share lines with other web host companies)

- How long have the staff worked for the company?

- Is there a variety of 24/7 support options? (Phone, email, live chat, live conference calls, support desk)

Some of this information may be difficult to determine. Usually if it is not mentioned on the website a company does not want you to know about it!

Suffice to say we have learned our lesson the hard way, and hope our experience will help you to avoid any web hosting disasters in the future.

Stay tuned for more on the previous web host, we’ll post a full story soon.

The software really does live up to it’s claim – “taking keyword research to the next level”.

So much so that I’ve cancelled our other keyword subscription services and now use Keyword Elite exclusively. It’s very quick to harvest huge lists (you choose the number) of keywords, then allows you to manipulate them in a multitude of ways. Uploading lists to Google ad campaigns is quick and painless. The advanced features are just too numerous to mention.

The support and backup is great, and there are tutorials and articles (here’s just one sample) available to help you get the best from the software.

If you’re tired of spending way too much time on your keyword research, check it out for yourself. Feel free to send any questions – I’m using it all the time and love it!

See you soon

It’s a 53-page PDF report and it contains a lot of extremely valuable information about the present and future of Internet Marketing.

It’s definitely a MUST-READ.

The internet is changing – and fast! John’s one of the internet pioneers and one our most trusted sources of information related to internet marketing. In our experience, what he predicts will happen…… usually happens.

Much of what he covers in the Rebirth of Internet Marketing Report really makes sense. As an accountant and small business consultant, many of the techniques which have been “guaranteed” to turn a profit from the internet haven’t been sitting particularly well with me. For example, things such as long and “over-the-top” sales letters, continually bombarding your list with offers, making money from every single link of your affiliate sites, etc. etc…..really make me squirm. I’d always rather give customers lots of value for money (free stuff!) and keep them coming back.

Consequently when John predicts the successful internet marketers of the future will instead form lasting relationships with their list, continually improve the content on their websites, and generally “serve” their customers – it really makes sense!

The report is 53 pages of pure gold – if you’re keen for your business to survive on the internet in the future, do yourself a favour and download it now. It’s completely free.

Enjoy the read.

He’s just created a valuable tool that he wants to share with all of us.

The Resource Report is his personal rolodex of the helpful resources, sites and tools he usesto run and grow his business.

It’s full of invaluable resources that will save you time, money, frustration, and energy in running your online business… and shortcut your learning curve.

The report and inside info on Domain Registrars/Web Hosts alone is worth its weight in gold – I was absolutely shocked to find out the damage some of those Terms Of Service can do to your business if you’re not aware of them.

Do yourself a favor and grab your copy now as a gift from Mike at:

The people who have had an opportunity to read it and apply it are loving it, and you will too!

Take care

“Some people didn’t notice a thing; others noticed big-time: Google tightened the Quality Score again at the end of last week… but they also added a new feature that’s quite helpful. Here’s the full story:

http://m171.infusionsoft.com/go/gs3/SC331590

The good news is that with a customised report, you can now see a Google Quality Score for your keywords – this is good news. As Perry says: “you must understand that as the Pay Per Click landscape continues to get more competitive, the quality requirements will continue to tighten. This ain’t the first and won’t be the last.”

Enjoy your read!

“As of today, PayPerPost.com bloggers will have to dislose that they are being paid for certain posts.

This comes hot on the heals of the Federal Trade Commission’s December 11th statement about word-of-mouth marketing, that said that those who are paid to promote products to their peers, must disclose those relationships.

The disclosure statement does not have to appear within the blog post, but must be prominently displayed via a disclosure policy on the site.”

“The results of my experiment are in! Over the past week, I’ve told you a bit about the power of video to get traffic to your web site. Now I can demonstrate conclusively that video does indeed work to get your pages listed higher in the search engines, thereby driving more traffic to your sites.Go watch this 4-minute video that shows you exactly how I got over 2700 new visitors to my web site in just a few days using video!

I know there are a limited number of spots in this program, so good luck securing your spot!”

You may have also noticed that more and more learning products are utilising video as the main teaching tool. The simple fact is that video and audio make a powerful combination to accelerate learning like never before.

“All the marketers of the world have been arguing about this for… oh, about a hundred years now: Is it better to write big long sales pages and spend 10 or 20 or 30 pages telling your story, or is it better to be brief and to the point?Guys who charge fifteen grand to write 46 page direct mail packages say their results undoubtedly prove long copy is better. Madison Avenue people who work for (obviously successful) Fortune 500 companies would remind you that Coke’s “The Real Thing” and Alka-Seltzer’s “Plop plop fizz fizz” slogans stuck in hundreds of millions of peoples’ heads.

They would also remind you that even Apple’s iPod was sold not with long copy, but with U2 and shots of hip dancers wearing those white headphones on buses and trains and billboards.

Well they’re both right. And I know the answer to this ‘long copy-short copy’ question, because I’ve seen enough things and tested enough things to know what the real answer is.

The real answer is:

*The right amount of copy is just the amount that gets a person to take the next step that you want them to take.*

No more, no less.

What I’ve found from using live chat to watch visitors come into my website and look around, you need two paths:-One that conveys the highlights quickly
-One that tells the whole story

Traditional copywriters (myself included) accomplish this partly by building a “dual readership path” with headlines, sub-heads and font changes, so a skimmer quickly gets what he wants. And more than any other media, the web gives you unlimited ability to build multiple paths so a person can stick around and look as long as they want and keep learning more.”
