		<description>Robert,

You&#039;re totally right on this one. I shouldn&#039;t have announced it until I had it ready to go. I am still working on it. 

Had some major problems with an ecommerce site of mine that has kept me swamped for the past 3 weeks...but I haven&#039;t forgotten.

		<description>Hi Chris,

For the love of God man, stop promising modules you can&#039;t deliver when you say you&#039;re gonna deliver.

Where&#039;s this &quot;Twitter Module&quot;?</description>

		<title>Comment on Case Study 2 &#8211; Affiliate Launch by Chris</title>

		<description>Hi Steve,

Somehow I totally missed your question on this thread...so this answer is about a month after you asked the question. Sorry about that.

Quality score - My quality scores tend to be pretty high on these kind of promos because I generally stick to very targeted keywords (think name of product, author, etc). The majority of my keywords are 10/10 for quality score...some keywords might dip down to 7/10. I usually don&#039;t worry about this much unless these are major keywords that I expect to get alot of traffic.

Another thing that helps with quality score is to build out separate pages for your reviews and bonuses. I like to build out a page on the blog called &quot;Product name review&quot; and another page called &quot;product name bonus&quot;...and send the traffic for the &quot;bonus&quot; keywords to the bonus page and the traffic for the &quot;review&quot; keywords to the review page. 

OK, am I using PPC? The answer is absolutely! I just started off by showing you the organic SEO stuff because that is the stuff that takes the most time to get in place...so I always start with my SEO work and then proceed to my PPC work.

For PPC, I pretty much stick to the big 3: Google, Yahoo, and MSN. If I really want to push hard on a launch (and I usually do), I will setup search and content campaigns on all 3 networks. I will get into the PPC side of this case study as soon as I finish up with all of the SEO stuff. There is still a bit more that my overall strategy that I want to cover before I get into PPC.</description>

		<description>Steve,

I actually considered doing another video on my keyword strategy for videos. I will definitely do that here shortly. I go about it several ways. Sometimes I will go after the most general keyword and not even worry about SE competition. For example, I might target the keyword &quot;weight loss&quot; which is ultra competitive...with this method, I&#039;m only worried about traffic from YouTube and I can get it by using the right tags for my video and submitting it as a &quot;video response&quot; to a popular video.

But for search engines, I like to go after anything with less than 150,000 competing pages in Google. If you can find keywords with less than 50,000 competing pages, you can almost always grab a page 1 ranking just by blasting your video out with Traffic Geyser. 

Lately, I&#039;ve been using Market Samurai to get even more precise. I will do a video showing how I do this manually and how I do it with Market Samurai.

		<description>Hey Chris Great videos I&#039;m just getting started with video marketing so for me a lot of useful information here.
Thanks for that...

Question:
To get top 10 rankings for a video what sort of keyword competition stats should we be looking for. For article/bum marketing there are certain ratios of search and competition we should look for do you have numbers for video marketing?

Cheers

		<description>To be honest Chris I&#039;m not one to slam people in forums and I don&#039;t intend to start now, but if I did it would be justified because you deserve it. 

I&#039;m pissed off, I feel I&#039;ve been lied to, and ok maybe you did intend to actually deliver some quality training here but the bottom line is you haven&#039;t and you&#039;ve had more than enough time to do so.  

All we ever hear are excuses and there stuff coming.</description>

		<description>Robert,

Thanks for the comment Robert. I appreciate it. And I appreciate the cajoling too believe it or not. I certainly deserve it!

Please feel free to email me anytime at chrishubbard1@gmail.com. That&#039;s the best way to reach me. I&#039;m happy to help anyone here out with any project you&#039;re working on.

		<description>Hi Chris,

Nice to see you&#039;re awake. I was coming here to see if I could hear my echo.

Thank you for this communication.

Now...

...if you could only do that more frequently I know I&#039;d feel better.

Given the hostility you&#039;ve encountered here I can understand your reluctance to publish a Twitter contact.

There is still email...

		<description>Hey guys,

I completely understand your frustration. I&#039;m frustrated that I haven&#039;t been able to keep my promises as well. If you think about it, it is ME that has lost the most by not delivering in a timely manner. I&#039;ve built a nice buyer list with all of you guys on it and these long delays have greatly diminished my trust with you guys. I hate that it has unfolded this way and it certainly was not my intention. I completely understand if some of you dont believe I will come through. I have had alot going on lately. No need to go into detail but my time has been extremely limited. 

However, I do plan on following through with everything I promised. I have outlines drawn up for more content...specifically a way to use Twitter to make affiliate sales, video marketing (which I&#039;m already working on), and more organic ranking strategies. 

I&#039;m not going anywhere.  I have not forgotten about this site and I will deliver everything I promised and more.

@Nick - you can post whatever you like. Again, I understand your frustration and I do apologize for the long delay. But saying that I am a scammer who never planned to follow through is completely false. 

If that was the case, I never would have setup this membership site, taken my time to create videos, uploaded the blog theme with tutorials, uploaded all of the videos to my own Amazon S3 account, and written that &quot;lame pdf&quot; that has by the way made me thousands and thousands of dollars over and over again in different markets. Yep, that tiny 3 page pdf....just because I chose not to fluff it up into a 100 page ebook doesn&#039;t mean it doesn&#039;t work. You have to realize, I&#039;m not creating a product here...I&#039;m telling you what I do to make money as an affiliate...that pdf is exactly what I do to kickoff my promotions and it works....have you tried it at all? I&#039;m positive you haven&#039;t because if you had, you surely wouldn&#039;t call it &quot;lame&quot;..

With all that being said, I will do my best to carve out time to deliver more content here. This is my first time teaching any IM stuff outside of close friends and family...so this is new to me. Maybe I&#039;m overthinking some of the stuff I wanna teach you guys...but I will get it together here and deliver more videos to you.

First up will be video marketing. I&#039;ve already begun working on this..then I&#039;d like to move on to twitter as it&#039;s been a very valuable tool for me lately. If there are any specific areas that you want covered, please do let me know. 

Again, I apologize for the delay and the frustration it has caused everyone. I still have alot to share and I am looking forward to redeeming myself.
