The new Epic Traffic Systems launched by Keith Baxter, Jon Stugart and Joey Smith went live on 15th June with a price tag of $1,997 (one-time payment option) or $797 (3-installment payment plan).

The product includes comprehensive training on web traffic systems, a copy of their previously held Traffic Domination workshop, a bunch of automation software covering traffic sources from Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc.), Organic SEO (through building a link network using WordPress multi user sites) and Paid Traffic sources (PPC, PPV, etc.), plus free pass to a live web traffic training event in August 2010.

After personally reviewing the total package, I believe the price level of $1,997 provides tremendous value for someone who wants to quickly get up to speed with gaining web traffic using all the three sources of traffic – Social Media, Organic SEO and Paid Traffic plus get the all important training.

Many subscribers of mine were more interested in the Epic Traffic Systems suite of automation tools and less on the traffic training modules and since they could not decouple the 2, asked me for my advise on options. So here's my take on this -

1. Paid Traffic Automation:

Two products come to mind here when looking at the Epic Traffic Systems paid media campaign automation tools -

a) SpeedPPC: This is a tried and trusted product that has been in the market since 2004 and supports automation of PPC campaigns for the Content and Search networks on multiple ad networks – Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, Bing AdCenter, Miva, Ask, 7Search, AffiliateRadar, etc. (most of the networks mentioned in the recently launched and popular PPC/PPV traffic training courses – Confidential Conversions by Philip Mansoor and PPC Ninja by Christian Weselak – both are excellent courses).

SpeedPPC also creates custom landing HTML as well as WordPress pages. Price: $497 for the pro version. You can check out SpeedPPC on its website www.speedppc.com.

b) Placement Locator: This product from seasoned Internet Marketer, Armand Morin enables you to quickly find wbsites to place your banners. Placement Locator is priced at $197 and you can view the product demo here. The functionality of the Placement Locator software is one of the features demonstrated in the Epic Traffic Systems video.

For your quick banner creation need, you can download the free Banner creation tool from the Epic Traffic Systems website here or even better use the powerful and free Display Ads Builder from Google.

2. Social Media Traffic:

The crux of the Epic Traffic Systems social media marketing automation tools is their Twitter Marketing Automation software. You can pick up a more powerful tool for automated Twitter marketing with TweetAttacks ($147) from Jayson Yanuaria. Check out the video demo of TweetAttacks here.

As always, I recommend SYNND as the most powerful social media marketing weapon – for marketing via social media the right way.

You may also check out Web Link Robot as a complimentary tool to SYNND.

3.Organic SEO Traffic:

For organic SEO traffic, through link building and automated blog network creation, you can check out Traffic Multiplier X at $197.

(On a side note, I did find Mark Dulisse's Dominating Google's course and tools a worthwhile mention for newbies wishing to dominate organic search rankings on Google)

So, based on where you are with respect to your web traffic needs, you can either pick and choose individual programs as listed above or go with one single package which ties it all together viz, Epic Traffic Systems.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Consequently video sales letters have come to stay and you can use them in your own business to ramp up sales (they can also be used for promoting affiliate products) as well as provide for added income if you do it as a service for your offline clients.

Here are 3 resources that could help you get started -

1. Ryan Deiss has introduced a new training course -Video Sales Letter Formula – on how to create a video sales letter, including the copy-writing process. I have previewed the contents of this training and believe it is worth the $197 investment.

Click the link below to get the details -

2. The next part is with regards to creating your video. Ryan advises you to use PowerPoint (or Keynote on the Mac) and Camtasia. If you're challenged with using Camtasia Studio, then there is a cheaper and more cost effective alternative from Incansoft called GFX Video Writer.

You can check out GFX Video Writer here -

3. Once you have created your video sales letter, the next challenge is how and where to host it and how to embed special action codes in the video that will help with viral marketing. Josh Bartlett's Easy Video Player is the only application you will need for this.

Click on the link below, scroll down the page and watch the "Behind The Scenes" video that shows the power of Easy Video Player -

This $127 (one-time) software is truly a good investment. Please note there is an upsell at the backend for $47 which gives you the tracking functionality. I bought the upsell too since I thought it was a very critical piece of the video marketing component.

Video creation and using video to promote your products/services is increasingly becoming a key element in online marketing. The above listed resources are, in my opinion, all that you will ever need to get started. Check them out now -

Why Socrates is the right theme for beginner Internet marketers?

In my opinion it is multi-fold – the simplicity, the flexibility of the theme, the training and support, and most of all the experience and credibility of the creators.

Following are my top-3 reasons why the Socrates theme is the apt website building tool for new affiliate marketers -

1. The training videos – Most of us seasoned Internet marketers often wrongly assume the proficiency levels of newcomers to Internet marketing. The truth of the matter is they require very simple and basic training to get started. Joel and Dan have understood this and have put together a very simple to understand and follow basic instructions in their video tutorials that is part of the Socrates theme package. These include -

* Wordpress Installation Video
* Socrates Installation Video
* Adsense for Wordpress
* The Everything Wordpress Webinar
* Wordpress Plugins and SEO
* Cpanel and Wordpress Setup
* How To Locate Profitable Niches
* How To Profit From Trends
* How To Find A Great Domain Name
* The Best Webhost For Your Domain
* How To Get Google To Pay You Money
* How To Get Paid To Promote Other People's Stuff

2. The Layout flexibility – Socrates has built-in flexibility and easy to implement layout options which can give a unique look to your websites. These options include -

a. Multiple Sidebar Layouts You have 5 options to layout the sidebars, each giving your websites a unique look-n-feel.

b. Over 200 Niche Header Designs – There have included over 200 header graphics to cover multiple niches, including business, health, nature, people. You have the option to easily upload your own designed header too (check out XHeaderPro if you want to create more headers).

c. Custom Styling and Color Options – Yes you have multiple options for backgrounds and theme color options, all designed to make your website unique.

d. Navigation panel options You an even configure the links that you want to appear in your navigation panel.

3. The Monetization options – The is the most important part and the Socrates theme delivers powerful options. Joel Comm's experience with Adsense is in play here when it comes to the ad placements – designed for optimum conversion. Here are the monetization options the Socrates theme gives you -

a. Built In Adsense and Clickbank Ad Bar – this 768×90 ad-bar placed right at the top of the page is a very effective placement. Here you can place Adsense ads, Clickbank ads or any other affiliate product banner.

b. Two HTML Ad blocks – you additionally have 2 custom ad blocks (220×90) which randomly rotate (each time the browser is refreshed) in the area adjacent to the leader-board. Here you can promote either Clickbank or any other affiliate product.

c. Ads in post and widgetized areas – You can also place ads in the individual posts, sidebars and footer bars.

Here are some ideas on what you can do to monetize your site -

i. Whydowork Adsense Plugin – This plugin allows you to auto insert Adsense code in your posts and pages without modifying the template.

ii. CBproAds – you can add rotating Clickbank text or image ads to your individual posts as well as the widgetized areas in the sidebar and footer (using the Text Widget)

iii. CBtagClouds – You can add keyword tags (displayed as a tag cloud) in your post or widgetized areas promoting Clickbank products.

iv. PrettyLinkPro Plugin – With PrettyLinkPro, you can add affiliate links to keywords within your post.

v. OpenX Ad Server – if you want rotating ads in your leader-board and widgetized areas, you can enable them by using the free OpenX AdServer (for more advanced Internet marketers)

The Price:

The price of $77 for multiple site license with lifetime upgrades is indeed a steal for this powerful and flexible theme.

Additional Resources:

1. My Preferred WordPress Plugins

2. Clickbank Tag Clouds (CBtagClouds) – New Monetization Approach for your Blogs & Websites

3. WP-Robot – How To Get the Best Results from this Wordpress Plugin!

The concept and implementation is simple and I see it as a 'low hanging fruit' for promoting Clickbank products on your website or blog.

The cost of CBtagClouds at $47 per year is a no-brainer investment. (Note: If your membership expires, 50% of your CBcashCloud links will use your cbTagClouds Clickbank ID)

How Clickbank Tag Clouds Works?

CBtagClouds (also referred to as CBCashCloud) finds the hottest products currently on Clickbank, in the most popular categories (there are over 250 categories). The tool searches the ClickBank Marketplace for the best keywords in every category and delivers Tag Clouds like the ones below to your website or blog.

These top selling products and categories are updated weekly and saves you time on keyword research and searching for products to promote. Your websites and blogs will therefore always contain the latest, relevant, highest converting products from the most recent categories available in the Clickbank Marketplace.

The best part is that each time a visitor arrives at a page with cbTagClouds in it, a unique combination of fresh, hot selling products are featured in a brand new tag cloud. The Tags link randomly to one of the Top 10 Best Selling products in Clickbank and each product page opens in a new window, so visitors will never leave your Website.

For SiteProfitBot users, the good news is that you can add CBtagClouds to your SPB site too. You can see it at work by checking out the 'Product Tags' on my website – FirstSignOfPregnancy.org

Some shortcomings of CBtagClouds:

The following are a couple of shortcomings with the CBtagClouds product -

1. Inability to select multiple product sub-categories:

It would have been awesome if CBtagClouds.com allowed you to create the tag cloud from multiple categories … currently it only supports 1 category and the only work-around is to select the main parent category in order to get product tags from all the child categories in that segment.

2. No Language Filter:

There is no language filter and you could end up getting non-English Clickbank products promoted on your site.

Hopefully Tim Brechbill will look into these and fix them in the subsequent updates.

The above notwithstanding, I believe it is a cool monetization add-on to your websites.

The growth of SYNND is not only with its Web 2.0 website network but also with its membership. SocialMediaScience.com is poised to add another 1200 members to the Synnd network within the next few months thereby providing a powerful website promotion leverage of 2000+ people across 2,000+ IP addresses, interacting (voting, bookmarking, tweeting, commenting, rating, viewing) your website content as well as working to increase your website/web-page rankings AND visibility in the search engines. … all of this actually being performed by 2000+ Remote Automators across the globe … the power and effectiveness is simply incredible.

However there are couple of warnings/caveats for prospective subscribers -

1. There is the potential for a significant price increase with the increase in the size of the network … the current lowest tier price of $67/month for 500 credits is a steal.

2. The list of network sites put out by SocialMediaScience is planned only and could change. Furthermore, the roll-out of additional sites could be gradual. You have to make to sign-up decision on what is available today and their track record of meeting their promises! This is a call you will have to make … as for me, I have made my call and am staying with SYNND the whole length of the journey.

Before I give out the reasons why I rate this product so highly and provide you some insights on how I use it, I would like to briefly tell you about Semiologic Pro …

First of all don't be mistaken … although many refer to Semiologic Pro as a Wordpress theme, it is not to be confused with a 'typical' Wordpress theme.

Semiologic Pro is a software that turns the WordPress content management system (CMS) into a powerful and comprehensive website builder. Initially released in 2005, Semiologic Pro comprises a stable version of WordPress combined with a suite of powerful plugins and widgets designed to support the ease and speed of use for both technical and non-technical Internet marketers.

In the words of Denis De Bernardy -

"Semiologic Pro is a carefully prepared combination of WordPress, tweaked with proprietary Semiologic code, and integrated with over 70 tools and plugins, each selected for both utility and SEO considerations – then tested to work harmoniously with each other and within the Semiologic framework".

Here's what I like about Semiologic Pro -

1. Design inherent search engine optimization – I'm truly amazed by Semiologic Pro's ability to generate organic traffic from the search engines – you can see proof of it as most of my blog posts are ranked in the top 1-3 pages of Google for the select keywords, without any/much of promotion or link building.

If you are wondering how this is possible, here's how -

Many WordPress implementations load pages left to right, making the sidebar appear before the content. Not Semiologic! Denis Bernardy created an optimized layout which serves your content first, then the sidebars. While you may not notice this 'sleight of hand', the search engines do notice, reading and indexing your content faster, because they see it sooner.

2. Quick, Easy and sophisticated website building – I use XsitePro to build corporate php/html sites but prefer Wordpress for my Internet marketing sites. Semiologic provides the the same simplicity and power (as XsitePro) to build Wordpress sites. You will find everything you need, in one cohesive framework. One-click feature customization, advanced page templates, built-in SEO, ad management, newsletter subscriptions, visitor tracking, author images, podcasting, video casting, comment subscriptions, spam control, advanced caching, are some of the many out-of-the-box functionality provided by Semiologic Pro!

3. Suite of powerful, common-sense plugins – The plugins that are bundled as part of the software is a treat. The best news is that it can be used with most Wordpress themes (I use 25 of these plugins by default). You cannot find the range of functionality that the entire suite of Semiologic Wordpress plugins provides anywhere else. And the best part is that the support for these plugins and their seamless integration with the Wordpress platform is simply outstanding. They are well tested and designed to work cleanly with Worpress and upgrades are a regular feature.

Click here to read my post on the Semiologic Pro (and other) plugins I use most on my blogs!

4. The Blog Cloning and Theme/Plugins Update Wizard – When I am putting up multiple mini blogs on a domain, I use the same theme, widgets, header, footer, etc. and I'm able to save a significant amount of time by simply cloning the 'parent' blog using the Semiologic Cloner tool. Simply enter the url of the blog you need to clone and enter the unique site identifier code and sit back and wait for a couple of minutes while Semiologic goes about cloning your blog. All you have left to do is add posts and pages and you're ready to go.

The latest version of Semiologic Pro's Version Checker tool enables one click upgrade to the latest version of Semiologic as well as one-click mass upgrade of all the plugins … a significant time saver.

5. Website Layout & Customization – This is the icing on the cake, so to speak. The variations you can implement with the Semiologic theme is simply mind boggling. Some examples -

a) Layouts and Skins

Semiologic Pro includes 18 layouts, 24 skins, 3 width options, 12 font options and 3 font size options. Ideally, you will probably choose one or two combinations as favorites, but it is good to know that you have so much variety, and that each one has built-in SEO. (If these are not enough, you can also use other WordPress themes and take advantage of the powerful plugins).

b) Advanced Templates

In addition to the standard template based upon your choice in the Layout and Skin switchers, you can also select a sales page or a single-column template to create some variety and override the "blog" look for those particular pages that need it.

c) Header Customization

With Semiologic you can have a different header on any page/every page, if you wish. You want can also have the navigation bar above the header by simply dragging the respective widget within the Header area.

d) Widget Contexts

This feature is not available anywhere else. If you wish to control the display of the content specified in one of your widgets, you simply deselect the box where you do not wish the content to appear. The selection is done totally within the widget. Just to give you and example of how practically useful this feature is, if you don't want the say, multi-language translator widget on the home page of your blog (for the obvious reason that the home page is constantly changing and you can't cache it), all you have to do is to deselect the Home page box and you're done. As simple as that!

e) Widget Management

This is even more powerful stuff – how Semiologic uses Widgets. Widgets can be anywhere: in the header, before the entry, in the content, in header and footer blocks, in the footer, and in the sidebars. You would be hard pressed to find an area where you could not insert a widget. Imagine, every area of every page can be reordered and is reconfigurable (see sample image below). Your imagination becomes your only limitation.

Furthermore, Semiologic provides for generalized or fuzzy widgets which can be used for posts, pages, and links. They can also be further customized to show only certain categories, allowing contextual sidebar navigation.

For easy entry of widgeted content into posts and pages, Semiologic has inline widgets, a virtual widget location which can be accessed from a drop down menu within the editor to effortlessly insert a widget any place within the content. For example, adding an optin form within your post.

6. Siloed website -  Siloing your website with themed content is one of the key requirements of good SEO. Semiologic serves this design best practice with Silo Widgets.

There are three types of silo widgets:

- A Silo Page Widget outputs what amounts to an automatically generated navigation menu for your static pages.

- A Silo Stub widget, which you can use as an inline widget when you'd like to automatically generate the contents of a page whose only purpose is to link to its children and

- A Silo Map widget, which you can use as an inline widget to automatically output a full site map of your site.

7. Many More Features – There are many, many more features which make Semiologic the outstanding product that it has become. My favorites are -

- The Redirect Manager which lets you create a site that redirects affiliate links as well as pages
- Built-in auto tagging
- RSS and Social Bookmarking
- Google Sitemap Generator
- Plugin for Google Analytics Integration
- Script Manager – to add various scripts site-wide or to specific pages.

I also like the tools that allow you to easily insert content using our Article Uploader, the Search Reloaded which is without doubt the most powerful improvement to WordPress's built-in search in the market, and Advanced Cache, the easiest to use, and most advanced caching plugin for WordPress.

The Bottomline:

Quality & Support - To add to all the above goodies, Semiologic Pro is, undoubtedly, the best maintained piece of software in the internet marketing world. Denis and his team are extremely professional and proficient. The product is in continuous upgrade mode, both to parallel the releases of the underlying WordPress platform, and also to implement features and modifications suggested by users and research staff.

Semiologic Pro Pricing:

Priced at $295 for unlimited site license plus and annual maintenance fee of $175/year, Semiologic Pro is definitely an excellent investment for any serious Internet marketer.

This post is to share my evaluation and perspective of this service … (a warning  – this is a long post … had to be due to the complexity and significance of this product)!

First things first – What is The Internet Time Machine (ITM)?

Simply put, The Internet Time Machine (ITM) is an extremely powerful Search Retrieval and Analysis Engine (built on the cloud computing architecture, which gives it its power and scale), that mines over 36 million keyphrases from across the World Wide Web every 24 hours for -

a) what's being talked about
b) what is being advertised
c) which are being searched for, in what proportions and related to what topics.

The ITM has been conceptualized by Curt Dalton – an Economics major from Massachusetts, and he has rightly used core Economics principles to create an application that analyzes the inefficiencies in the supply and demand curves of what people are looking for (the demand) and how much supply is available on the search engines with respect to products or solutions (measured by number of organic search results and PPC ads for the demand keyphrases).

The ITM project, developed by a team of engineers and mathematicians, started 8 years ago and cost over $200,000 to put together. It has been in private operation for more than 2 years now and is just being opened to the public.

As a side note, Curt Dalton is launching a new search engine – NowRelevant.com, which integrates The Internet Time Machine into the paid search ad campaign platform.

How does the Internet Time Machine (ITM) work?

ITM makes a scorecard that records nouns and pronouns phrases that are being searched and time stamps them. Then the ITM goes out to the top search engines and then uses its own proprietary algorithm to analyze the trend of these key phrases.

Essentially, the ITM analyses the demand and supply curves of the latest buzz works on the internet and provides you the results.

How is the Internet Time Machine (ITM) useful to YOU – the Internet marketer?

The ITM is a revolutionary development in the realm of Internet marketing, giving Internet marketers and SEO experts the ability to foresee a highly profitable product or product niche, BEFORE it has gone public. The wealth of information provided by the ITM in the form of hundreds of thousands of extremely valuable keyphrases in this manner, creates a market breaker for product development and profitable release.

The biggest problem most Internet marketers make is simply look at 1 dimension – the demand curve to see what's in most demand, and build niche sites promoting products based on this single dimension. What they are missing, which will make a big impact on their results, is the 2nd dimension, which is the supply curve. Where supply and demand meet it is equilibrium – there is no niche here – no way to make money.

A niche develops when the supply and demand curve in a particular area is not efficient. If you just have trends, or search volume, you will not make money without the other side of the equation, the results.

The ITM uses artificial intelligence algorithms to ignore most of the mined keywords, instead choosing to focus on the top one hundredth of one percent. These are the words showing the greatest increase in search volume with results not keeping pace with volume. The team at the ITM then then back test the data to find out if what they have a "million dollar gap", which is then presented to the members.

With the ITM, the days of experimenting with varying combination of Keyword Lists and Keyword Tool Suggestions are over. Users of the ITM will have the ability to Know Today What People Will Buy Tomorrow, or better yet, are wanting to buy now!

With the ITM marketers can easily find niches that are high in demand but with low supply in terms of product and/or services.

What tools does the Internet Time Machine (ITM) provide you?

The ITM membership provides 2 levels of access -

1. The ITM Membership Site Access: which provides you with -

a. Top-10 $$ ideas

2. The ITM Software Access: which includes the 3 search tools -

a. Most Recent Mentions From the Last 24 Hours
b. Potential Trends From the Last 24 Hours
c. ITM Core Trend Analysis

About the 3 Internet Time Machine (ITM) Tools:

a. Most Recent Mentions From the Last 24 Hours:

This tool scans over 36 million keyword phrases, proper nouns and noun phrases used in search engines, blogs, newsgroups, mailing lists, etc. – keyphrases that are the most popular 'movers' in the world – just what's currently popular, what people are talking about right now or what the buzz on the internet is right now.

Internet marketers can use the keyphrases generated by this tool for SEO purposes – by knowing the keyword phrases that are most popular, you can optimized your anchor texts, title tags, blog headlines, blog post titles, article theming etc.

Scoring -  10 being the highest from the internet buzz standpoint – what everyone is talking about … so you can make your blog or article for your niche more relevant.

b. Potential Trends From the Last 24 Hours:

This tool is ideal for PPC arbitrage -  the missing link PPC advisiters are looking for – quality clicks with little or no competition.

The tool harvests keywords and keyphrases that people are searching for on multiple search engines, which do not have enough supply with regards to content or PPC campaigns. Basically keywords/keyphrases whose search volume is rising, but organic search results or PPC is not keeping up with the search requests. The generated content is not a keyword synonym result, but the actual search terms being used – searches that are getting HOT on multiple search engines.

c. ITM Core Trend Analysis:

This is a very powerful tool for Internet marketers planning on creating a new product. This tool uses proprietary, state-of the-art search analysis algorithms to identify hot new product areas and niches that are developing worldwide. It monitors increase search volumes over time in topics and look to see where supply, organic or PPC, is not keeping up with demand. These are long term product development ideas.

Similar to (1) but goes over 60-90-120 days looking for trends – actual trends that people have continually searched for but there isn't enough results either from organic search or PPC.

This database updates every 24-48 hours.

This is the "big idea" button for product development/affiliate product promotion.

A note of caution here – since the tool analyses subjects that people are talking about, there may not be many money making niches. You may have to ignore 90-98 % of the data, but the 10-2% you find could be pure gold for product development.

How does the ITM compute the relativity SCORE for each keyphrase?

The ITM is composed of THREE major components: CRAWLERS, TREND BOTS and STATISTICAL ANALYSIS MODS.

The combined operative functionality of all three components in tandem, allows the ITM to study data from millions of sources across the web, and evaluate what keyphrases are being mentioned where on the web, what their relative importance is to the users searching for them, where (which search engines) they are being searched and in what frequency, what topics are being written about on multiple websites that are contextually relevant to these keyphrases, how much PPC Advertising there is already being conducted for these keyphrases (if any, which is the catch the ITM capitalizes on), and what keyphrases are exhibiting high volumes of search and have little to no PPC ads being supplied for them.

Having completed its daily search and analysis routines, the ITM is capable of projecting a score, individually, for each keyphrase, that depicts how valuable that keyphrase can be to Internet Marketers, SEO Experts and/or both. The scores projected are such that, the HIGHER the score, the HIGHER the DEMAND for it is (this is reflected via No. of Search Queries as only ONE of several parameters involved in computing the score), and the LOWER the SUPPLY in PPC Ads for the keyphrase in question. Typically, the HIGHEST SCORE and any scores within 5% of the HIGHEST SCORE, represent HIGHLY PROFITABLE keyphrases / keywords that if used correctly in PPC Campaigns can generate massive profits due to little to NO Advertiser Competition!

By providing these scores to users of the ITM, particularly those of the 'Potential Trends' feature, the ITM provides a wealth of information to Internet Marketers to successfully market existing products in hot niches identified by high-scoring keyphrases, OR to develop new products for the same. This presents an AMAZING plethora of hundreds of thousands of UNTAPPED keyphrase combination that are PPC-Ready, or are basically winners if used correctly in PPC Campaigns to market new or existing products.

My perspective on The Internet Time Machine:

Having had full access to the Platinum membership the past few days, I believe it is a very key tool for Internet marketers to find new, hot niches or new product ideas. We depend on this kind of intelligence to scale our revenue generation efforts and take the most advantage of new and emerging opportunities.

The model (demand-supply analysis) upon which the ITM is built is flawless and the output based on multiple sources is irrefutable. Having said this, you should be aware that since the ITM is mining from a wide database, many of the results may not pan out to be money-making niches. You have to use the information the tool provides to find products/solutions that would be viable for earning revenue. This is especially true of the ITM Core Trend Analysis tool where you would need to ignore maybe up to 98% of the keyphrases spewed out by the system. Is this a waste of time? In my opinion – No!

Also since the promoters of this service are relatively new names in the Internet marketing business, I did an extra due diligence to verify their credibility. The ITM site is rated as a Trusted Site by the Onine Business Bureau and they have a "Recommended" rating which means that they are a member in good standing with no outstanding complaints. You can find this information here.

I look forward to your feedback and comments on this post. As always, I will answer all questions you post here to the best of my knowledge and ability.

For those of you Internet marketers who are just starting out and have not generated sufficient online income or do not have sufficient websites to justify signing up for website promotion services like SEnuke, Web2Mayhem, EVO2, or SYNND or buying one-time payment products like Bookmarking Demon or SocialBot, then you will find this free product – Viral Submitter from Jeff “Herschy” Schwerdt an extremely valuable tool.

It is simple to use, time saving and it works great.

Of course there is an obvious 'catch' for the 'free' offer … Jeff “Herschy” Schwerdt wants your email id to promote an upcoming product to you in the near future.  Apart from this obvious marketing tactic and the fact that it is being given away free does not in any way depreciate the usefulness or value of Viral Submitter.

So, what does Viral Submitter do for you?

In simple terms Vial Sumbitter allows you to quickly submit your content (videos, articles, blog posts and press releases) to the top online properties – YouTube, Viddler & Vimeo for video, PR-Log, Free-Press-Release and ClickPress for your press releases, EzineArticles for your unique articles.

Once you've done that, Viral Submitter allows you to quickly syndicate the content through Digg.com (which is a 'big boy' loved by Google when it comes to content syndication) and also tweet the url through the Twitter.com network – undoubtedly the most powerful viral messaging network.

No sweat … takes just a few minutes.
