Most Internet Marketers earn their keep by promoting products on how you can promote online products or earn money from some tactic or another.
Every now and then a marketer develops a site/product/service which separates them from the pack and catapults them into being a serious player.
John Reese of ‘Traffic Secrets’ fame did just that. 
His BlogRush syndication was developed to help increase FREE targeted traffic to your blog by placing a widget on your site that allows other blogs to see related material and vice versa. The Internet Marketing twists:
1) If someone clicks on a topic on your blog.. a new window will open so you dont lose a viewer.
2) You receive a viewing credit each time the BlogRush widget is viewed on your blog.
3) With ‘Kosher Style’ MLM, if you refer bloggers to BlogRush, then you can get ‘viewing credits’ based on the viewership of each blog you refer. Of course the problem with this.. if you sign up 10 sub par non active blogs, and it caps at 10 sub referrers, (which I believe I heard), then you may not get the results you like.
I am all for more Blog Traffic, but my ONE complaint and reason you do not currently see the BlogRush widget on my blog.. It is too wide and the script does not allow me to play with the sizes, as I have done for MyBlogLog, and Bumpzee. I could not find any way to contact them via their very well put together site. Any advice?
I highly recommend you get started with BlogRush today, since like other MLM’s those in first stand to benefit the most. Plus its just a great all round asset for your Blog, and it looks nice too. No Hype Needed.
Well I may actually stop writing about the show, except it is giving me sooo much darn traffic!
So I skipped 3, but on to episode 4…
So hey all you old forum friends.. will try not to insult you too terribly since I am a power player, and am here to network and yada yada….
HOWEVER..
HOWEVER..
Have you ALL lost your minds???? ![]()
Over 10 minutes of this episode was spent on eating worms. YUCK!!
I have no problem with worm slugging if it’s part of what makes you different and yet not completely ‘out there’. Like I kinda believe Alisande that she is up for anything and would actually find herself in another situation where she would eat worms, with the stakes being MUCH less. Just for the experience. But here is the problem..
Do you want to JV with someone who would RATHER eat worms than do a task? I hear the other side that they would rather accomplish than surely fail, and they do look like they go down pretty smoothly.. but I would certainly hope Joel isnt calling a non worm eater an inappropriate JV partner.
Here is another thing and maybe its just me and my education.. but I kept remembering that afterschool special called ‘The Lottery” or similar, where someone picked a name out of a hat and they were selected to be stoned.. and as ludicrous as it was, everyone joined in.. like lambs to the slaughter… losing their sense of right or wrong. Not ONE person passed on the challenge. Actually a few people passed, but after seeing the rest follow suit, they too succumbed to the peer pressure. The one contestant who didnt eat the worms TRIED and got ‘brownie points’ for considering it. Would the individual who said an unequivocal ‘NO’ have received congratulations?
Some of you may or may not know why, but there is no question 100% absolutely that I would NOT have eaten those worms. The question I have for myself is Would I have felt bad? A failure? Probably.. I can be pretty pathetic sometimes

Marlon Sanders is the Guru of the week. I am a pretty big promoter of his items - in fact - if you look to the right of this blog
under top picks, his items are 4 out of the 5 items listed there. You want to know how to build a website from scratch? Point and click web building.. etc.. check them out.
The execution challenge was to create a product, and discuss the marketing plan. They were also using NINJA terms we were not privvy too like plank or flank .. again.. I know you were giving them a limited amount of time to perform a task, and I see you helping them from the sides.. but there is nothing more dull than water and phones…. As internet marketers, product creation is ESSENTIAL to SUCCESS, and it would have been really neat to actually witness something realistic. I know I have a bunch of product ideas… dont they all? Couldnt they have combined their brain talents and produced SOMETHING?
The reason the execution challenges are not succeeding .. meaning one team is repeatedly LOSING.. the other team isnt really WINNING.. as opposed to the immunity tasks, is due to the combination of talents and inability to tap into them properly. They keep repeating the same problems in the judgement room yet people keep volunteering to be the leaders. Lesson #1 - being a leader is NIM suicide!
If you think I am insulting the show, forgive me. I find the show fascinating from beginning to end, but I am too personally involved to have a real objective opinion.
Lesson # 2 - Know thy limitations, be honest with your strengths, weaknesses, and confront them. So hear goes nothing:
I know that I sell myself short, great things are right around the corner, I am a nice, honest, and ethical in business, and I would have kicked a$$ on that show. As it stands now, I would have been like the multi-talented Jason Marshall, yet with the IM skills to back it up! My weakness? I spend most of my time telling other people how to make money online instead of doing it for myself.. How to overcome it? Have patience, a plan, JV partners, and
outsource, outsource, outsource.
My new online friend Big Jason Henderson got kicked off the show, which wasnt entirely a surprise from the previous episodes. I think he was definitely misunderstood and came off as a villian and just NOT what I think he really is. Frankly to me he seemed pretty shy and passive on the show.. , which he seems anything BUT in real life.. makes you wonder about that cutting room floor.
So Big Jason.. possibly all will be revealed, and possibly not, but how did you feel about how the other contestants spoke about you, and why were you so dissed? P.S - I really like what you said about your email offering a support desk link. You should have gotten points for that.
Now you better leave me a comment here or else.
This is a ‘quickie’ (no pun intended)… but I just want a blogging question answered.
*DISCLAIMER - for those of you seriously considering hiring me to turn your struggling online presence into a star-studded affair, do not be discouraged by my need to ask these questions. I can back it up with 7 years of serious internet marketing and it’s those who ASK who LEARN. Yes I could have googled it, but this is MORE FUN and just maybe I am a keyword GENIUS to write this post.
Moving on….
What is the difference between being ‘tagged’ and a ‘meme’? Rather, I know what it means to tag, but how should the ‘tagee’ react if tagged vs being ‘memed’.
I ‘tagged’ a few people and the end result was that one person wrote a blog post about the subject (which was cool) and someone else ‘memed’ me and I just commented on their blog…
All I wanted was to start conversations and get comments.

Yeh.. you know me always trying out for something. I was looking to find the link to show you for my latest
WHO WILL DISCOVER ANDREA YAGER … - WILL IT BE YOU??
but unfortunately my email is too busy downloading 1700 spam emails for me to open the other account and find out for you!
In a nutshell - I answered a very simple 8 question survey for why I should be accepted into this very small select group of individuals.
One interesting question:
How would you list the following, in order of importance from top to bottom?
Creating your own digital product
Affiliate marketing
Adwords and/or adsense
JV’s
Building your list
Since I dont know if there is ‘ONE CORRECT ANSWER’, I am withholding my answer, to hear YOUR answer. This is the choices they offered. Would you have added anything?
So if you are TAGGED, please ANSWER!!
I have a confession to make.
Whenever I would read blog post after post about comment spammers, well, I have to admit,
I was a little envious. hmm thats too tame. I was SOOO JEALOUS!!!
Why wasnt I being Spammed!! Is my BLOG NOT WORTHY??
Well those days are OFFICIALLY OVER. Not only has the SPAM completely polluted my blog, it has also kept me from seeing REAL comments/emails from friends, and has completely taken away the pleasure I use to thrive on - that of the little notification at the bottom right of my computer screen when I would receive a new email. Now it’s ALL SPAM!!
So this is what I have to say to YOU:
If you THINK for even one second that I am going to help you by linking to your keywords.. I think I will tease you instead, but placing them HERE without a link. hahahahaha..
of course since 99% are your garden variety pharmaceuticals and female body parts that leaves me with samples including the following
removing wax from feline fur
engine mitsubishi mivec picture
myspace moving picture codes
automotive electrical supply wiring
Apparently SOMEONE has done their Long Tail Keyword studying and spent a day at Wordtracker finding their High Demand / Low Supply Keywords (recommended to one and all!).
I am officially joining the Wordless Wednesday Cult. I am game for anything not requiring intelligible (or any) conversation.
I am already failing miserably:
1) I am talking, big no no, but go ahead and hang out with me and see if you can get me to be quiet. It’s really hard!
2) I am not taking a nice pic of my kid eating paste, or a deer looking at the sunset. I have ripped off an image I received from those annoying forwards we all complain about, but read anyways. I think its funny.
