    thanks for the kind words vic

    To clarify I’m newer at ppc but have over 150 niche sites that bring in organic traffic and income, plus handful of fun projects.

    It was almost liberating removing the ads, like “now I can have some fun” ;) Strange but true.

      Mark awesome man so we are on the same page I am sorry one of the things I try to explain is when you get into PPC better already have success driving traffic in organic matter cuz PPC it cost some money to learn. Again Mark as said in your site man I was really happy you did that and buddy wish you the best as you will get back ten fold in karma for the help you provide people coming into the business.

    I’ll be honest, whilst I haven’t made any money from BANS, I am having fun with it. I don’t feel like I’m in a position to remove the ads from my site yet (yeah, I know, sellout. Plus one guy has collared me for a year’s advertising), but I feel that in this time in October (when this guy’s advertising runs out, if I’m making over $300/month on affiliate/BANS, I will remove direct advertising from my blog).

    Yeah I’m drunk, but I feel many a true word spoken in inhebriation.

      “Yeah I’m drunk, but I feel many a true word spoken in inhebriation.” LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Rhys you kill me!!!! Rhys how many BANS sites do you have up? And how long have they been up?

      Now if you have your 100 BANS sites up plus what ever else you have the time to do that I mention in my online business model Rhys you will be making tons more then 300 a month in October just plan your work and work you plan build links build links…………. ;)

        I’ll be honest, I have about 5 or 10, but hopefully will get onto a few more over the next few days and this weekend. :)

        Will keep it up, as - unlike other forms as I’ve said - I’m enjoying it :)

    I don’t understand one thing… promoting a product is a form of advertising… what make it so different from here to your anonymous website? because you not selling stuff to your reader.. ?? or because you want to sell without telling your identity.. just wanna understand that because since the whole joel comm stuff everyone want to be ethic but at the end of the day they still selling stuff on other anonymous site or doing ppc selling questionable products…

    No critic here I love your website just want to understand …

    1. Vic on 22.04.2008 at 23:11 (Reply)

      I have no problem with promoting a product. But in my way of looking at things it has to be a product that provides a benefit for the investment example I have yet to find one ebook about Adsense that explain the most important thing people need to know about adsense to make money.

      Plus if you are promoting a product and it has a built in up sell that people need to opt out don’t you think it is fair to your readers to warn them ahead of time? And not wait until people catch what you are doing.

      In none of my websites I promote products that hurt people and I actually block in my adsense account advertisers that promote shit plus it increase the competition on my sites and I make more money ;) See the 9.95 ebook does not explain that does it LMAO!!!

      But serious I will give you an example. Blue Host is marketed a lot because they pay $65 dollars for each sign up as an affiliate Host Gator only pays $50. Now I promote Host Gator because I really believe out every Hosting company I have used including Blue Host by far the best is Host Gator and as Host Gator is good for my online business then it has to be good for the readers of BU but I could not promote either shit like Blue Host one of the worst Hosting companies on the net or any product I know it is worthless.

    Vic,

    You are getting to be quite the pro with video. I love your “live” feed and vlogs. Are you going to show us how to set it up…hint, hint? ;)

    I know you don’t like Twitter, but you’ve got to check out my last post at http://twitter.com/golftrainer

    For anyone on twitter, lets hook up.

    And no Vic…I don’t spend more than 3 minutes a day posting..LOL.

    Talk soon dude,
    Mike

    1. Vic on 22.04.2008 at 23:31 (Reply)

      Mike I promise I will just have to first make some tutorials on all the soft people use and I will ;)

  7. Mike on 22.04.2008 at 23:35 (Reply)

    I hate to even ask since you are GIVING more information to help people make money more than any other site (maybe except for griz:) )

    You 2 are at the TOP and I appreciate it.

    I will drop the occasional (only once a day…LOL) reminder.

    Best,
    Mike

    Sorry to keep bothering you Vic! I was checking out blog commenting demon, and the video demonstration did not show if the software can parse out “do follow” blogs. I don’t know if I want to get it if I’m taking to the time to comment on blogs that google does not see the links.

    I think there are a couple of other software programs that can find “do follow” blogs though.

    Mike

    1. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 00:46 (Reply)

      Mike do not for now Edwin is making an upgrade to the soft so wait till he does I am use to it so I keep using it but I can not wait for the upgrade I am so happy Edwin will do it ;)

      1. Mike on 23.04.2008 at 03:08 (Reply)

        So is this upgrade involving “do follow” parsing?

        1. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 03:09 (Reply)

          Yes it will so I am looking forward to that upgrade big time ;)

    2. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 00:47 (Reply)

  10. Mike on 23.04.2008 at 03:11 (Reply)

    Thanks! I’ll check it out!

  11. Mike on 23.04.2008 at 03:38 (Reply)

    Cool. Hopefully they get it down quickly :)

  12. Robert on 23.04.2008 at 04:45 (Reply)

    Are you sticking with this format? They don’t work for me, but Revver was fine.

    1. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 05:26 (Reply)

      No but these 2 videos where quick shots and had no time to make real videos for Revver. Why don’t they work for you?

      1. Robert on 23.04.2008 at 05:45 (Reply)

        Uhh…beats me. :)

        It never plays, the pause button is greyed out, and my only real option is to reload it, but that yields the same behavior. Does the same thing in IE, so I expect there is probably something blocked here or there. The Evil Proxy doesn’t like streaming stuff, so that is probably a factor.

        1. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 05:51 (Reply)

          LMAO yeah those evil proxies but again Robert no worries I have been really busy with this upgrade thing but I look forward to my normal video routine with Revver ;)

  13. Bruce Hollingdrake - Book Guy on 23.04.2008 at 15:42 (Reply)

    A quick question Vic.

    Do you have a max. number of bookmarks you make under 1 account (real social sites) before creating a new account?

    1. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 16:01 (Reply)

      Bruce as long as you do not try to double post the sae url you will be fine in my case becaue of my ADD I only do one pass and create new accounts so I never forget that I already submitted a url and get ban

      1. Bruce Hollingdrake - Book Guy on 23.04.2008 at 16:31 (Reply)

        That’s what I’ve been doing..good stuff, thanks. Up to about 45 BANS sites.

        1. Vic on 23.04.2008 at 16:40 (Reply)

          Built them and they will come ;)

  14. Work At Home Jobs on 23.04.2008 at 16:51 (Reply)

      1. Frank C on 23.04.2008 at 19:38 (Reply)

        He just said that the bu.bulicio.us traffic method of targeting current events still works OK.

    Hi Vic,

    I just found your website today. I’m planning on checking it out in the future. I actually bought Joel’s $9.95 ebook. I’m STILL pissed at his whole attempt at negative billing for his monthly newsletter. When I read his apology, it read like a sales letter, you know? I’m still not sure whether it was an honest mistake, or whether he planned this from the beginning. I’m still making my way in the internet world, but one thing I’m sick of is scams. Hopefully, this site can be an antidote for that. Keep up the good work.

    - Dave

      Welcome pls try to bypass the language and focus on the message ;) Joel Comm is a scammer he knew exactly what he was doing and did not expect it to blow up in his face amazing now he is giving part to charity I wonder why it took to get caught in the scam to give to charity LMAO!!

      Please start with these post and try to not only read the whole site but also watch all the videos as it is kind of a step by step.

      Again welcome and we hope to help you in your quest to success ;)
