Another little FREE tool has just jumped onto my radar and made it into my stable of useful software tools.
It’s called Michelle MacPhearson’s Rank Decoding Engine, and it’s actually the most no frills software I’ve used in many many years. I just love these internet marketing launches with all the freebies, some of them are really great.
Look out geek speak ahead! No installer, no update mechanism. Just a super tiny (10kb) executable file which is basically a wrapper around an inbuilt browser to Michelle’s server based scripts. Superb use of software!
Watch my video review of it now.
Super easy eh, let me know how you go with uncovering super targeted link opportunities in your market. Leave me a comment below.

Let me show you how I use online live chat to increase sales and have better customer support.
Watch this video.
As mentioned in the video leave me a comment on this blog post if you would be interested in an info product that makes this super easy to setup on your own site and / or across multiple niches. Videos on installing and setting up the Livezilla chat software (Windows only I’m affraid people), and the script to get a nice hover popup over your existing pages. Which is the best way to get a chat going. Not some static live help image sitting off to the side of the website that no one sees.
For those brave souls that like a challenge and do it on your own, make sure you get started with LiveZilla.
Forget all the paid chat services, they can’t handle multiple instances of the chat software which is what internet marketers need. Those with multiple personalities anyway

Thought I’d answer a question from the warrior forum on my blog with a video. I know some of your will want to know this. Watch below.
How to delay a buy button or link to appear on your website after a certain amount of time. This is popular for video sales letters so that visitors are forced to watch to a certain point in the video.
Of course this method is so crude that the visitor just needs to pause the video on your webpage and come back to it later and the button / link will have appeared since it’s just on a timer and not triggered from the video player. So if you need to sync this up to appear when you are speaking about it in the video, you’ll need the more advanced method.
The more advanced method is hooking the javascript up to an event from the flash player at the 15th minute for example. JWplayer (my favourite web based flash FLV player) has this ability, but that’s a whole other video tutorial since it’s an advanced approach.
But why make it hard for yourself, just do it this way it’ll cover you for most cases.
Stick this in the header area of your code
<script type="text/javascript">
function showBuyLink() {
document.getElementById("buylink").style.visibility = "visible";
}
// adjust this as needed, 1 sec = 1000
setTimeout("showBuyLink()", 5000);
</script>
Stick this around your buy link code.
<div id="buylink" style="visibility: hidden"> <!-- put all your add to cart buy links and images inside this hidden div --> <p style="text-align:center; font-size:26px;"> <a href="http://mybuylink">Add to Cart or Buy Link</a> </p> </div>

Watch this video as I review Peter Drew’s Brute Force SEO EVO II
If you have a website or know someone that does and you want to get higher search engine rankings then Click This Link to get your 7 Day FREE Trial of this automated link building software.
Here’s some videos of Peter Drew’s that show you EVOII working…
Now that you’ve watched all the videos, here’s my thoughts in writing.
My review of Brute Force SEO EVO II is simple. I use it and happily pay for the privledge of using it every month.
I use it on my niche websites, I use it on my software websites, I use it on my offline business websites, and I use it on my clients websites.
Now I even charge clients for SEO on a monthly which makes up a nice side income for my business.
I never wanted to do SEO for my local business clients before I started using EVOII because it’s just so much work doing the link building (off page work). But now I’m using EVOII and the power of automation it’s so much easier.
I wouldn’t use it much less recommend it, if it didn’t do what it says on the box. It’s an automated link building tool. Period.
This means that it’s not the be-all and end-all of marketing your website, but it sure cuts down on a MASSIVE amount of drudge work that I used to do by hand. Even outsourced.
Dan Raine (from ThirtyDayChallenge / ImmediateEdge) got me onto this software and I thank him for that. Now I’m passing on my findings to you.
Click here to take the free trial and I’m sure that one day soon you’ll be thanking me in a blog post like this one.

My first Wordpress plugin is such a simple one, but it works like a charm.
So you want to get more comments on your blog posts, but most non technical and non blog savvy visitors have trouble finding how to get from the front page of your blog to the comments area of an individual post.
This plugin solves that by including a dedicated and in your face link at the bottom of each of your posts (not pages) that points the visitor directly to the comment response area.
You can see the plugin in action for an example of the add your comment link … http://truckiesonline.com
Download the Add Comment Link Wordpress Plugin directly from the Wordpress plugins directory. Since this plugin is free I thought I’d put it into the directory.
I’d like to add some options to this to make it better, any ideas just leave me a comment. Or leave a comment if you’ve found it useful.
PS. You can change the text that appears at the bottom of each post to language that makes sense for your site visitors. See the Add Your Comment section under the Settings menu of Wordpress.

Did you know that Clickbank now offer you the ability to put a product image and a title into your products sales order or checkout page? This came about in April 2008. (Clickbank didn’t find it worthy of letting anyone know, well I didn’t get an email about it and I’m on their list). Clickbank had a big year in 2008 – starting a blog, taking Paypal payments, offering to pay their users via direct debit instead of cheques and many other improvements.
But since I’ve only just realised this great feature about product images was sitting under my nose all this time, I thought I’d share this with you in case you also didn’t know.
What’s the big deal you ask? Well it’s all about presenting yourself in the best possible light to your customers. Clickbank have certainly cleaned up their order page they present on your behalf, but it’s still not your order page so to speak. You need to get as much of your info on that 3rd party order page to make it look less foreign to your buyers. (Same goes for Paypal if you use that).
If you don’t have an image for your product then I urge you to get one made at rentacoder.com or elance.com for around $20-40USD. The credibility it builds for you and ability for affiliates to use your product image in their promotions is worth it alone.
Here is a very interesting statistic and a potential source of income for a freelance graphic person – “Amazingly 27 percent of ClickBank sales pages have NO usable image whatsoever” (source).
Here’s a screenshot of Script Smart’s Clickbank order form before… You can see that I didn’t have a title of the product and it was just the default text. Not very professional at all.
Here’s a screenshot of after I gave the product a title …
I added my product image to my Clickbank account ( you can see how to do that here )
Had to wait 1 day for it to approved, then associated it with the product.
Now here’s my order form with the image in place.
Looks so much more professional and I’m happy again.
Make sure you are making good use of this excellent feature of Clickbank.
Leave me a comment below as to your thoughts on this. Do you even use a product image to help promote your product.? I believe it’s mandatory for all products digital and physical.
