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.

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.

Script Smart Order Page Before

Here’s a screenshot of after I gave the product a title …

Script Smart Order Page During

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.

Script Smart Order Page After

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.
