I see it all to often in internet forums, or on websites, etc where people out of no where will ask you to review an ebook for them or, ask for a link back to their website. Thats ok by all means but you must remember that you are far more likely to get a response if you first introduce yourself and offer them something in return that they can get value from.

In most cases offering a back link to their web page from yours isnt enough to persuade anyone. You could offer them a free ebook that you own or free services or anything that could help them out. In most cases a link from your website to theirs (when you are first starting out) is not going to help them out any. If you have large site with a good amount of traffic and you were to offer them prime placement on your homepage or something then it would a much better deal for them and they would more likely consider.

You must respect other peoples time and know that they value their time and efforts just as much as you do. The more you give, the more people are going to give back to you in return. Its the way friendships are created and the way to making your wealth in any business.

Keyword Elite Review - Part 2
Brad Callen is one highly respected marketer online that has created many top tools online, like SEO Elite, and now Keyword Elite.

The Good Reviews

"The bottom line is my niche sites are getting more traffic since I started using KE keyword lists and while it is far from perfect, I am running it on two computers almost every waking hour generating lists for me. I certainly like it much better than wordtracker and keyword discovery."

"I have both keyword elite and seo elite, I have never had any major issues with either. Easy to use, real time info. Good back up and regular updates. You pay for what you get and in this instance I got value for money. I have 7 high targeted keywords at number 1 with google, say no more."

"KE is not a miracle worker, but it is a useful tool. Saves time (time=$)."

"I am using it and it helps quite a lot since the yahoo overture tool is no longer available.
The software does act a little squrriely at times but the are regular updates to solve those problems."

The Bad Reviews

"Keywordcountry is far better, although its more expensive i haven't come across a keyword research tool as good as KC before."

From what I have gathered, this is a great tool that does what it claims to do. Customers seem to be happy with the features, ease of use, and the customer support is good.

Keyword Elite Review - Part 1
Brad Callen is one highly respected marketer online that has created many top tools online, like SEO Elite, and now Keyword Elite.

Analyze Pay Per Click Listing
I launched this feature and noticed that you can set many feature here as to where it would gather the keywords from.

The information retrieved is awesome, you can view the tops bids, know exactly how many competitor there are for Adwords, Overture, Ehance and Miva.

For Pay Per Click users, this is the type of information you want.

Create A keyword List
Using keyword Elite you can build a big list of up to 10,000 in one session. But, that's not all you can edit and append to the list of keyword found. The best part I like is, that it is happening on my desktop, and the keywords retrieved are from the top search engines.

Select A Keyword List
This option just baffles me, I have no clue why this was included. It is actually used for building a keyword list from a built in list of over 2 million keywords. I prefer to do my keyword research from live data retrieved from the search engines.

As it seems, the data retrieved had some nice little keywords included.

Analyze Keyword Competition
Keyword Elite really does a great job here analyzing the competition. It retrieves the top keywords and the top websites for your researched keyword.

What I specifically liked is the SEO-Research provided showing you exactly how the top sites were ranking. It showed if the site included that keyword in h1 tags, in the title, bold tags and in the first 25 words.

This information alone can help you to make minor adjustments to your own site for better rankings.

Spy On Adwords Competition
Now, this tool takes any top ranking site url that you insert and will keep track on a daily, weekly or monthly basis as to how the adds are performing in Google, I would recommend keyword elite to anyone that makes a living off of Pay Per Click.

Just make sure you use only one joke per post, Craigslist will know if you use the joke more than once and it will not let you post it twice.


Which brings us to the next are of discussion. You will want to prepare atleast 2 days maybe 3 days worth of titles and body txt. In the same excel document on a new tab break out the content into 3 days and search for original content.

Since you will be posting in the small business ad section, which is the only location I recommend you post because they are less likely to get flagged and removed. You will want to delete the prior days each day and repost in the same locations, or do a 3 day rotation between 2 different groups of cities. For example: on day one you would post your day one content at say seattle and san diego, then day two you would post your day two content to salt lake city and toronto, then on day three you would erase the content in seattle and san diego before reposting your day three content in seattle and san diego. Of course you will post to like 10-20 cities per day instead of only 2 but you get the picture.

I think that is all I have for now, this strategy has netted me amazing results using craigslist here is a list of other free advertising mediums to utilize.

Craigslist, when used correctly can drive massive traffic to a website. One ad alone can net you 10-20 people per day. The trick is to use multiple ads and drive 100-200 people to your website per day with a few minutes worth of work.


The easiest and fastest way I have found to posting ads is to save a string of text in an excel spread sheet to help keep track of all the different ads you can use.

There a few things you should know and be aware of because craigslist is touchy when it comes to posting multiple times. Only post once every 5 minutes or so. 15 minutes after your first post you will need to go back and check the first add to make sure that is active. You cant simply go into your account, you will have to go to the actual location that it is supposed to be and make sure it is there. If it is not then the post has been "Ghosted". A post can become ghosted a few ways, posting to many times per minute(thus wait 5min between posts), or content that seems to be duplicated(thus you must use different titles). Try to avoid using the same text in the body, the string of text I sent you will be fine to use each and every post because it is html coding.

Now for the title you want something that is going to stand out. You want to avoid something that will make the reader get the wrong opinion before he even opens the ad. To do this I have found that using a question (usualy a joke) such as "Where do you get virgin wool from?" will get good results.

It gets good results because it peaks the interest of the reader, it will also stand out because it will be different from ever other title. Then of course within the body I will type in the answer "an ugly sheep" followed by "hehe " then right below it I will paste the string of text to show the advertisement. It also helps break the ice a little by getting them to laugh........
