EasyClickMate 2009 Edition

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Since early this year, I’ve been quietly adding new features into easyClickmate. Here’s a quick summary of the new features:

1. Automatic Support for Google’s Adwords Tracking ID for Affiliates.

Your affiliates may have requested that you embed his or her Google Adwords tracking ID on your thankyou pages. This is manageable if you have a few requests from your affiliates.

However, if you have 100 affiliates requesting that you add their tracking IDs, it’s just not feasible to add the individual tracking codes on your thankyou pages.

Now, you no longer have to manually add the Google tracking ID. EasyClickmate will automatically embed the affiliate’s Google ID for you. All you need to do is insert a code snippet on your thankyou page, i.e.

<?php include_once(“ecm_trackID.php”); ?>

More details on page 11 in the “ecmPro Integration Guide”.


2. Intuitive Affiliate Link Generator.

Your affiliates just need to login, select the product they want to promote and click on the ‘Get Link’ button. Their customized affiliate URL will then appear.

See the screen shot below:


3. Advance Affiliate Link Generator.

The Advance Affiliate Link allows your affiliates to define their own landing page. For example, if you have written a case-study (or a non-sales pitch article) - your affiliates can decide to link to that page instead of the usual sales page.

See the screenshot below.

*note: As the vendor, you can choose to enable or disable this feature. If you disable it, then the affiliate won’t see this option in the affiliate area.


4. ClickBank Gravity Booster

One of the ways to rank higher in the ClickBank marketplace is to have a high “productivity score” - essentially a function of the various factors, one of which is the “Gravity”

A higher Gravity will help boost your Market Place rankings. In plain English, it basically means that if there are more affiliates promoting your products (i.e. more affiliate sales), your product gravity will be higher in the ClickBank market place. (more info here)

EasyClickMate 2009 Edition (version 8.5) allows you to insert multiple ClickBank IDs (your own affiliate IDs) into the admin panel. See the screen shot below:

IF no other affiliate ID is detected (i.e. the traffic to your sales page is from your own promotion), easyClickmate randomly select one of your ClickBank IDs in the sales process. This will result in an ‘affiliate sale’ (you are your own affiliate) and therefore, increase the product gravity in the marketplace.

This function has been extensively tested, if an affiliate ID is detected, easyclickmate won’t use your ID. Your affiliates need not worry about losing their commissions because their affiliate IDs will take precedence over yours.

EasyClickGuard Version 2.5

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

On 18th May, I sent an email to all customers regarding version upgrade to 2.4.
Since then, some customers have reported that the log files did not show the IP addresses of the customer downloads. Version 2.5 fixes that.

Below is the summary of the features released in 2.4 and 2.5

New Features Summary

1. Added the ‘cancel’ function (this is to request cancellation
for recurring products). Currently, it only has the request
refund function

2. Added a ‘pop-up’ confirmation for the ‘delete’ function.
Some folks have complained that they have accidently deleted
an entry because the script did not prompt for confirmation.

3. Fixes a bug that appears on certain hosts for the Time-delayed Bonus Delivery.

* The Time Delayed Bonus Delivery feature allows you to specify
the number of days to pass before a bonus is displayed in the
download area. It also allows you to specify an expiry date for
the bonuses.

Some examples:

Bonus ABC|30|30 <= bonus will only appear 30 days after purchase and expire 30 days later.

Bonus PQR|0 <= bonus to appear immediately, does not expire

Bonus XYZ|15 <= bonus to appear 15 days after purchase, does not expire.

Bonus XYZ|15|0 <-- bonus to appear 15 days after purchase, does not expire. (the '0' is optional)

More details in the User Guide.

- the Upgrade Guide (instructions on how to upgrade, what files to backup, etc)

Best wishes,

Steal this niche keyword now!

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Here’s a potential gold mine which I’ve discovered using Keyword Research Pro.

Seed (root) keyword: Tiki Torches - 269,000 results | 49 Ads

Keyword variations (Search volume is in May 2009):
- propane tiki torches - 16,100 pages | Search Vol: 480 | Avg CPC: $2.31
- bamboo tiki torches - 34,000 pages | Search Vol: 3600 | Avg CPC: $1.50
- copper tiki torches - 52,300 pages | Search Vol: 1000 | Avg CPC: $1.80

With just 16,000+ competing pages for ‘propane tiki torches’, it should be a snap to rank 1st page in Google’s SERP.

And this niche is HOT! Look at Google Trends below (16th June 2009):

If you own a copy of Keyword Research Pro, I suggest you plug in this niche keyword now and dominate this niche.

*Tiki Torches is just one of the many hidden keyword goldmines I’ve discovered using Keyword Research Pro. There are many, many more!

Now, let me show you another niche that I’m involved in. It’s the highly competitive baby niche. Someone bought a polka dot rug for a cool $312. Looks like there are still plenty of folks with money to spend - on RUGS!

My commission for that sale is $31.20

It’s “easy” when you know how to target the right keywords using the right tools :-)

Yeah, yeah, I’m going to recommend that you get a copy of Keyword Research Pro

Why not? I believe it’s the best keyword tool in the market. If you do SEO or plan to do SEO, then this tool is a must.

You could spend hours on Google’s Keyword tool, or you could let Keyword Research Pro hand you the keywords on a silver platter within minutes. For me, the choice is obvious.

* A Quick Tip - the Role of the ’seed’ (or ‘root’ keyword)

This is very important. The ’seed keyword’ that you use will determine the quality of the keyword lists that are both profitable and easy to target/rank.

Where can you find these ’seed keywords’? Go to your favorite bookstore and pick up a few books in your chosen niche. Turn to the ‘glossary’ pages in those books.

For example, if you pick up a book on ‘diabetes’ and turn to the glossary page, you will find many terms which you can use as ’seed keywords’. These are highly targeted keywords and definitely easier to rank.

Once you have the ’seed keywords’ - plug them into Keyword Research Pro and let it run!

If you are thinking of getting Keyword Research Pro, I suggest you do it now.
