This is a REVIEW of Autoblog System X….To visit their site click here.

Recently launched Autoblog System X just became the first ever product on Clickbank to top the 1000 gravity mark. To those who don’t understand what this means; Autoblog System X just became the most popular product of all time amongst people looking to make money online.

So What’s it all about?
Fellow Brit’ Rob Benwell takes you step by step through the process of creating set-it-and-forget-it automatically self-updating websites. The practice of creating ‘autoblogs’ has been around for some time now, being not only one of the best kept secrets in the internet marketing world but also possibly the very best way that a newbie can get started earning a serious income online.

Creating autoblogs is in fact how I got started in internet marketing a couple of years back. If AutoBlog system X had been around when I started, I would probably have earned five times as much and saved myself $10,000 in buying useless ebooks and video trainings, not to mention (though I will!) about six months of full time try-fail-adjust hard graft and a lot of disappointment and critisism!

What’s in it?
It’s a 60 page ebook, with accompanying videos for those who prefer to be shown exactly what to do (rather than just reading the theory). The ebook takes readers step by step through the process of choosing a niche, buying a domain name, setting up the framework to be able to quickly develop an unlimited number of websites, creating the websites themselves in just a few minutes (even with no previous experience) and finally the author exposes both on-site and off-site methods to drive massive amounts of visitors to the sites that you have created, all on autopilot. It’s a true How-To-Set-It-Up-Properly-Then-Forget-About-It blueprint for creating a great online income.

If all that sounds a bit long winded, here’s the short version:

You will learn how to set up a website in about an hour or two that will bring in $50 a month. Month after month, year after year. That may not sound like much but after a couple of months, you could easily be sitting on a few hundred sites all doing the same!

What did I get out of it?
A LOT! Like I mentioned earlier, I’ve been setting up autoblogs, that’s small websites that target a specific keyword or niche, for around two years now. The idea is that anyone can set up an automatic, self-updating site in a couple of hours, using the right tools and infrastructure, then watch as the pennies roll in when people click on the google ads (Adsense) and affiliate banners that you’ve put on the sites. Due to the fact that these sites are very easy to create and require only a few minutes maintenance every few months, you can easily build several hundred of these type of sites and your residual income will just grow and grow.

It took me a year and a half through trial and error to get to the stage where my monthly clicks income from (just) google adsense reached the four figure mark. Using Robs methods, I reckon it would have taken me only three months from scratch (i.e. knowing NOTHING about wordpress or website developement or traffic generation beforehand and working only in my spare time). If I had to critisise the course in any way, I would have to say that some of the wordpress plugins recommended are not really necessary (although they wont do any harm) and a bit more time could have been spent on the different ways to monetize the autoblogs. Additionally, a management template, something like a checklist “do this, then this, then this” would have been useful. Personally I use an excel spreadsheet to keep everything organised, as I’m sure a lot of readers will do also. Finally, there was little mention of how often to carry out maintenance but I guess this is not that important, as really it’s only a matter of updating the plugins every now and then, checking through the comments that have accumulated (waiting for approval) and that the auto-content plugins are all still posting away.

Will you be able to earn money using Autoblog System X? If you can’t earn money using this method, you should really consider getting a 9-5 job; making money online doesn’t get much easier than building adsense-producing autoblogs.

Is is worth the money? Yes. Just the list of recommended plugins will save a lot of time searching for what works. When I consider the money I’ve spent over the last two years to get to the stage where my efforts are only really achieving a third of what they could be….I think I would have rather paid a couple of thousand bucks to go on a seminar to listen to what the author has to teach. This course is seriously underpriced, then again, that’s probably why it has just become the fastest selling make-money-online book of all time.

Summary
Look around for my other product reviews and you will see that I have never said this before: It’s the best e-book on ‘how to make money online’ I have bought, period.

You can find out more about Autoblog System X by visiting their sales page / watching the video here:

Hard Cash Hijack is an ebook and software package that shows you how to tap into extremely cheap sources of highly targeted traffic for the purposes of selling (typically) affiliate products, although it can be used to generate traffic to any type of offer/site. The main thrust of the system is that you will be placing banners on high-traffic sites in your niche. (Banner Advertising). The software included does 90% of the work for you, identifying potential sites to advertise on using a proven and successful formula.

What did I get out of it?

I was mightily impressed by the claims on the sales page video saying how this new, unique system would allow me, a lowly internet marketer, to “tap in to the 85% of traffic that Google Bing and Yahoo don’t want you to know about”. So I duly purchased the Hard Cash Hijack system, costing $37 and consisting of a 72 page ebook and ‘HCH software’. As regular readers will know, I am not a big fan of “How-To” ebooks, I prefer push-button profit systems by a long way but I have to say from the start, that this was the most interesting read of the year, by far.

Of course by the time I got about a third of the way through the ebook, I was so excited by the ideas and methods shown, that I fired up the software, found my first potential advertising media and fired off a few emails requesting advertising space. It was only three hours later that I had already agreed a deal with a website owner, $50 a month for a prime spot on his website.

Over the next seven days I watched the clicks through my affiliate banner very carefully and was to say the least, disappointed by the low levels of ‘hops’ that I was getting. Nevertheless, four days into the experiment, I got a sale and earned $27 commission. Same thing happened on day seven, another $27 commission making a total of $54 in the first week, for a spend of $50. Not a great profit but still a profit – and of course, I still had three weeks worth of advertising paid for so I was fairly pleased with the progress.

Being disappointed with the low number of clicks I was getting I went back to the ebook and – you guessed it – realised that I shouldn’t have been so impatient (my enduring ‘quality’ lol) and should have read through ALL of the guide before making a start. This advice is clearly stated in the introduction!

Anyway, round two. Using the software again, I got a deal for $80 for a banner on a high-traffic site in my target niche. So, this is like saying that the banner placement costs me $20 a week. Results after 7 days of the banner being on site? … 11 sales @ $27 commission, total of $297 or lets’ say $277 profit! and there are still three weeks to go.

As you can imagine, I am now going ‘nuts’ with the software in my efforts to strike banner placement deals here there and everywhere.

Anyway, I’ll cut to the chase. Is Hard Cash Hijack as advertised? Yes. Is Hard Cash Hijack as good as it claims? Yes. Is Hard Cash Hijack a system that total newbies AND seasoned Internet Marketing Pro’s will learn from ? Yes. Will you be able to earn a decent profit quickly using the HCH system? Definately. Is HCH worth the price? ($37) Damn right, I would have paid $100 for the software alone and the information and tips in the ebook are well, priceless.

Summary: The HJH package scores maximum points from me, so it’s no wonder it’s currently one of the hottest Internet Marketing products around. Even if you just read the ebook and did nothing with the information given, you should still feel like it was money well spent.

Social Bookmarking Your Site For A Massive Jump in Search Engine Rankings and … why you should use Bookmarking Demon Software

As part of an overall strategy  to build links to your website, in turn getting higher search engine rankings (and therefore more traffic), social bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, Mr Wong, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Propeller and so on simply cannot be ignored: they have very high Page Rank (PR) and are indexed by the major search engines every few hours. You may have noticed when you do a Google search that results from these bookmarking sites show up with increasing frequency…

Let’s say that you open an account at Digg.com. You bookmark all of the pages from your site, choosing your target keywords (your ‘anchor text’) as your bookmark titles. Each of these bookmarks will appear on Digg.com as having 1 ‘dig’ or vote. There you go, you’ve got a good solid anchor-text link from Dig.com to your target website, one to each website page, links that will very quickly be picked up by the search engines and counted in their calculations to rank your site. The higher your websites’ rank the more (targeted) traffic you should get, so it stands to reason that you should be using a bookmarking strategy to get your site more traffic.

The first thing you can do is open an account at socialmarker.com. Then you go and open account at several bookmarking services and use Socialmarker.com as a tool to ‘semi’ automate your bookmarking. With a couple of hours work you can gain several dozen back-links to your website, FREE OF CHARGE and many will also carry the ‘do-follow’ tag, meaning that Google assigns maximum ‘juice’ to these links.

You can also get the free browser toolbar from onlywire.com, this can allow you to bookmark with 20 or so top bookmarking sites with a couple of clicks. This is a great little tool and the paid version (about $40 per annum) is pretty good value.

Yes, it’s a couple of hours work for each of your websites but it needs to be done! The problem now is, if you want more links from social bookmarking sites, then you have to open another bookmarking account with all of the social bookmarking providers using a different email address and different log-in information. To open a hundred accounts (yes there are at least that many popular, high PR rank bookmarking sites), well, you can see how this could become very time consuming but believe me, if this was the only method that you had at your disposal to build links, you would see massive, positive results very quickly.

As your site gets another ‘vote’ at each bookmarking service, it moves up in their internal rankings meaning that as users search within the bookmarks for recommendations from other users, rather than use a traditional search on say Google or Bing, your site may even start to get traffic from the bookmarking service itself as well as from higher search engine ranking positions (‘SERPS’).

Like I said this can be VERY time consuming and for the past few years many automated and semi-automated services and software solutions have arrived, the most effective and best of them all being the Bookmarking Demon software from Edwinsoft (BMD). Yes there are a few other packages of SEO tools offering bookmarking as a module, Miracle Traffic Bot and Magic Submitter to name just two (which I also use extensively!) , but BMD is the one dedicated to automated bookmarking.

I bought BMD back at the start of 2009 and it is still the top selling bookmarking software at the time of writing (June 2010) and deservedly so. At first I would use the software to automatically open bookmarking accounts, load up my web pages and leave BMD running in the background  all day every day. It wasn’t long before I was getting ‘some’ traffic  and sure enough I started getting ‘some’ movement in my SERPS. Disappointment set in, I tried searching the internet to see what other users were doing different to get better results but alas it took several hours of trial and error, waiting weeks and weeks to see the outcomes, before I found out how to get the maximum out of the Bookmarking Demon Software.

All I can say here is that the trick –and people are charging $30 to $50 for this one piece of information – is not to bookmark your whole site over and over; instead sign up for 20 or so email addresses from Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. Put all of these new profiles on an excel file and import it into BMD. Then use the software to create accounts, load a FEW pages from your site – the best pages – and let BMD go nuts bookmarking your site. Then do the same again every month or so and sit down for a couple of hours bookmarking through BMD the sites requiring CATPCHA input.

It is easy to use? Yes. Does it deserve it’s place as the ‘Daddy’ of all bookmarking software? Yes again. Is it worth the price tag ($149 to $199)? Absolutely. Does it work as promised? Yes, if you use it right. If I could only have one SEO tool to promote my sites, this would be it, without question.

Summary. If you want to see your site climb higher in the search engines, get more traffic than ever before, show off your SEO acumen to clients with real world results, then you simply have to own a copy of Bookmarking Demon. Doing SEO without it is like being a mechanic without a wrench – or a graphic designer without Photoshop. It is simply an essential tool and until something better comes along, the only serious choice.

p.s. please leave a comment with your own experiences of using BMD or any questions you may have. Finally, don’t forget to mutiple bookmark my whole site with your copy of BMD – and I will do the same for you!
