If you are like me and have any blogs that have banners on them, then you will be interested in this review.
By far the easiest plugin that I’ve found to handle banner advertisting on WordPress, has been Max Banner Ads by Max Blog Press.
What I like about it is that it’s all point and click. No need to muck around with the theme code.
I’ve been using it for the last 1 1/2 years on my niche blogs to display advertisting.
A couple of examples.
On one of my sites I have two sidebar widgets setup to handle larger block ads and the smaller 125×125 little blocks and I’m using the Max Banner Ads automation to put a 468×60 at the top of the first blog post. These formulate my Gold, Silver and Bronze advertising packages for private business. Yes direct advertisting pays better than adsense!
On another of my sites I have three 300×300 banner spots embedded around the theme, and I just copied and pasted the code that Max Banner Ads generated into the theme at the spots I needed. Once again direct business advertising is a winner over adsense.
It’s all managed by a simple admin interface.
The banners all rotate evenly within their groupings. So it’s fair time share between the spots.
Plus it has built in statistics so I can see how many views and my click through stats. Which of course then I pass along that info to my business advertisters.
They have two version a free version with a nag line “powered by Max Banner Ads” and a pro version.
They have made it simple to affiliate via Clickbank, so you can of course add in your clickbank ID to the nag line on the free version.
I must admit when I first registered for the free version they were moving servers or something like that and my registration wasn’t accepted for about 2 weeks. But after contacting support they sorted it out and I’ve been happy ever since.
They have a video and screen shots and more explaination on their website – Max Banner Ads.
If you are looking for a way to display multiple banners or even just one on your blog, try it out you’ll be happy you did.
I think this is so important that I’m going to offer a limited time bonus.
LIMITED TIME BONUS UNTIL END of MAY 2010
As a marketing test, anyone that buys Replay Media Catcher via that link, can choose ONE of my software products and have that for FREE. Backup Smart $37, or Script Smart $67, or Affiliate Page Pro $97. Just submit your receipt to the support area, and I’ll hook you up. Strict time limit on the bonuses, at the end of MAY I’ll pull this.
Let me know what you think of being able to easily capture, save and download streaming video or media directly to your hard drive, by just leaving me a comment below.
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.
