Get The Bar – I Get Paid To Surf And It’s Free!
Have you ever wondered why you don’t get paid for surfing the internet? What better way to spend your time than getting paid for what you do online already? Well, I get paid to surf for free and you can too.
I’m not talking about getting paid for creating content that people view or earning ‘credits’ on autosurf or traffic exchanges. With all the billions of dollars being made off of our surfing by websites serving up targeted advertisements, what would happen if you were compensated for the time you spend surfing online?
It’s a concept so disruptive that most people haven’t thought about it much. But one company has – Get The Bar – and they have just released a game changing model for advertising that levels the playing field. Imagine if you had an online business and your advertising wasn’t subjected to the bidding wars of pay per click? Imagine if you could reach a highly targeted specific audience for $0.10c an ad? What kind of impact would that have on your conversions and sales?
Advertisers can stop fishing for goldfish in an ocean and instead fish for goldfish in a goldfish bowl.
The best part? The revenue from advertising is shared with the average online user, paying them for doing what they do now – surfing, checking classifieds, email.
So how is this accomlished? Get The Bar uses an intuitive toolbar for your browser and you get to choose when to view ads that are relevant to your interests. By interacting with Get The Bar you get paid. But…..if you invite your friends, when they install the Get The Bar toolbar, not onloy do they get paid – you do too!

Sizzling Hot Graphics Explode Sales
Sizzling HOT Designs That Transform Poor-Performing Salesletters into Cash-sucking Selling Machines.
Gone are the days when copy was the sole determining factor in sealing a salesletters’ fate. Things have changed since then and marketers who preach that copy should be the only tool in your marketing arsenal are simply living in the past, oblivious to the rapidly changing landscape of direct response marketing and Web 2.0.
Let’s face it. It’s 2008, not 1998 anymore.
Graphics, layout and presentation have risen to become as equally important to a salesletter as the copy itself. If all elements are perfected, working in unison, these four key elements together can create some seriously high converting marketing pieces.
Just yesterday I happened to stumble across a brand new design studio called ‘Pulp Minisites’ that specializes in turning poor performing salesletters into cash-sucking sales machines that will explode your business with new customers.
Now the thing that makes these guys different than your everyday freelance minisite designer is the fact they’re a real design studio, they have a real team with a real office and treat their operation as a real business. In other words, they’re not your typical minisite designer working out of a basement.
It looks as though these guys have some real big plans for this niche and you only have to see their work to realize that. I’d recommend checking them out and see for yourself whether this new design studio is just ‘hot air’ or whether they’ll become a ‘household name’ in the internet marketing community.

How Secure Are You?
I am finding more and more of my newer team members in my businesses have little to no practical experience with best practices when it comes to internet security of their own computers. I decided to shoot this quick video on what I use and provide some neat cool tools you can use in your browser as well as online to research websites before you visit them.
I introduce the basics of a whois via centralops.net, my favorite online source for checking on domains, email addresses and other cool stuff you can do.
I tried to embed it but I shot it too large to display here and the resize isn’t working in the plugin with this theme so just click the link, both IE and Firefox recognize the file type and can play it in your browser.
Keyword Research Primer
October 3, 2008 by LBB Admin
Filed under Internet Marketing
In my last post I mentioned keyword and traffic research as a way to test or identify how effective your subject of choice will be as it relates to your online marketing efforts and in this post I will provide a basic primer on the subject.
If you have read my previous posts, by now it is fairly obvious that I love to write. I could literally spend hours writing on subjects that interest me (and hopefully interest you as well) but truthfully, my life as a single dad with a full time, high demand job allows for little free time to focus on my marketing efforts to the level I would like – transitioning to Wordpress from a previous platform and writing new content has easily kept me up until 2 am a number of nights this week.
With all of the steps involved in writing content – research, outline, drafts, crafting copy, checking it double checking it, etc…I can easily spend an hour, in most cases more, on just one article or piece of content.
For that reason, I am always on the lookout for simple to use FREE resources and tools for online marketing – the simpler, the better. So rather than try to reinvent the wheel here and explain everything in detail, today I am going to give a basic overview of keywords and traffic research and then provide you with some amazing free resources to help you in these areas.
So let’s get started.
Keywords – when you want to find something online, you probably head over to Google or one of the other search engines. The text you enter for your search are keywords that search engines use to provide results of websites that match what you are looking for. A simple way to look at keywords is to think of them as the market you are looking for or interested in.
Keywords in the internet marketing world are like the keys to a car – they are the starting point in your journey. The car itself is like your business – the vehicle that gets you where you want to go (and hopefully you have a Ferrari vs. a Yugo for your business – but if not, there are ways to make your Yugo perform better).
As with any car, it requires gas (and in this analogy I think of ‘gas’ as the traffic to drive your businesses). And of course there are ongoing maintenance and performance enhancements for your car – content and optimization.
In my post on Internet Marketing Strategies and Ideas, I shared a process to identify your market or subjects of interest for your business and you will use those subjects as the basis to find the keywords you can use to ‘start the car’.
I am a huge fan of the 30 Day Challenge team as they provide a no-nonsense, straightforward FREE course on internet marketing and they do an awesome job of showing you how to go from A to Z in starting an online business. The 30DC team has tons of great videos on Youtube that show you exactly what to do. One I like a lot on the subject of keywords uses the FREE Google Keyword Tool to research keywords.
Watch the video on how to use the Google Keyword Tool here.
Traffic – is the gas that fuels your business and like a car, without traffic (gas) your business will go nowhere. There are basically two types of traffic – broad or targeted. Either of these can be obtained via paid or free sources.
Broad traffic is in most cases not targeted and is based on volume for its success rates. An example of broad traffic is unsolicited spam. This type of traffic is really a numbers game – massive traffic will get you conversions (sales) but the percentage of conversions depends on how effective your traffic campaigns are and it take time. I will cover in a future post some of the sources of broad traffic but here I want to focus on targeted traffic. After all, that is the purpose of researching keywords for your business and FREE or organic, natural traffic is what we are looking for.
Why? Because eye tracking studies have shown definitively that natural or organic search results are where people focus nearly all of their attention on search engine results pages. People spend a small amount of time looking at PPC or sponsored links. For more information, visit http://www.enquiroresearch.com.
Ok, well I will close this post here. Hopefully you have garnered an understanding of the basics of keyword and traffic research and can use some of this to help you in your own ventures.
To Your Success!
