Today I got the following email from a marketer most of you have probably never heard of. He’s not your typical guru IMer in that most of his emails are giving away something of extreme value, and most of his tools are free. In fact, most of his free tools are more functional and have made me more money than most tools I’ve paid for. For example…for an awesome PPV tool he created, check out Laser URL, again…free.

I highly recommend you check this guy out, download whatever tool he’s giving away and get on his email list. You’ll make more money because of it…trust me. I have.

BTW: His name is Matt Harward, creator of the famed site sniper pro.

Here’s that email I received this morning. Read it…then check out his new ImageAd Builder tool he’s giving away for his birthday. I used the beta version a while back, great tool!

Oh, and Happy Birthday Matt!

Wes,

I’m turning *40* on Thursday.  I don’t know whether that’s the good news… or the bad

I do know that I’m throwing a party, though.

My only problem is that most my friends are IM’ers, like me.  And they’re all over the world.

So, while I’d love to invite you to my place on Thursday for the “offline” party, I’ve got another idea for my online friends.

Before I release my new content network crushing software and strategies for sale, I’m giving it away to you.  But only for the week surrounding my birthday.

Seriously.

I just posted the first release of the software this morning, along with a short tutorial video.  You can download it at:

Then, on Thursday, I’ll give you a strategy guide and show you some cool tricks you can do to get huge traffic and low-cost clicks from Google.

And next Tuesday I’ve got a huge announcement.  I love my birthday… and I’ve really out-done myself this year.  But 40 seems like it should be a big deal… no?

Go get the software right now… it’s my birthday present to you

Wealth and Abundance,

Matt Harward

P.S.  Since you already know me, I’m actually giving a sneak peek on Thursday (my actual birthday) of what I’ll be unveiling next Tuesday.  Get the content network software and then watch your inbox for more information…

I think you’ll like it.

Today I thought I’d take some time to cover a somewhat mysterious topic to some, and hopefully dispel some myths about the Adwords Quality Score.

There are some major misconceptions about how the Adwords quality score works, how it’s calculated, and what is required to “beat” Adwords and obtain a good quality score.

First off, some of what I want to talk about is based upon information provided directly from Google. But secondly, my own tests have shown that the secret to the magical “10″ Quality Score, isn’t actually all that difficult to obtain and can easily be achieved if you put your copywriter’s hat on.

But first, what does Google say about how the quality score is calculated? I think this video sums it up very nicely and will clear up some of the major misconceptions: {click to continue}

The question of how to best use Tracking202 with SpeedPPC has come up time and time again in the 202 forum, so I figured it was time to finally sit down  and create a detailed tutorial. So grab some coffee or your drink of choice, close all your other browser tabs, and pay close attention. This is going to make you some money if you follow along!

A couple of things to keep in mind before I begin:

-   The following tutorial assumes a working knowledge of Speed PPC, Tracking202, and the Adwords Editor. In the interest of time, I will not be detailing the setup or general usage of any of these tools. If you are not yet familiar with these tools, this tutorial will probably be a bit over your head. I highly suggest you first study the user documentation of each tool if any of this material confuses you.

-   Since Tracking202 and Prosper202 are essentially the same tool, this information will apply to both tools. For users of Tracking202 Pro, the process is even easier, but that will probably be another post.

-   Some assumptions are made about your affiliate marketing knowledge, including how to research and choose an offer to promote, keyword research, and writing ad copy. I will not be covering these topics in detail.

-   We will be working with Google Adwords using the Adwords Editor. The process for working with MSN AdCenter and Yahoo are similar enough to not be covered at this time.

-   I suggest you set aside enough time to read this tutorial in its entirety as it may get a bit lengthy. I intended to provide as much detail as possible.

Ok….now that our assumptions are out of the way, let’s get started! Read the rest of this entry
