				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><img class="size-full wp-image-313 alignleft" title="pop-up-domination" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/pop-up-domination.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" />What is PopUp Domination?</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/popup-domination/">PopUp Domination</a> is a wordpress plugin and stand alone software that creates really nice looking light box popups for increasing your opt-in list subscribers. I&#8217;ve been testing it on this site for about a month now and have noticed a dramatic increase in my opt-ins. Building on the success I&#8217;ve had with it here, I&#8217;ve now begun to implement it onto my other niche sites with similar results.</p>
<h2>Why do you need it?</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been marketing for any amount of time I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard the saying &#8220;the money is in the list&#8221;. Well this saying is cliche&#8217; for a reason; it&#8217;s true. It&#8217;s something that really can&#8217;t be repeated enough. When you build your email subscriber list, you&#8217;re building an asset for your business.</p>
<h2>What it does?</h2>
<p>When you first opened this site, chances are you saw it in action. Simply put, a <a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/popup-domination/">lightbox popup</a> darkens the rest of the screen and highlights the opt-in form. This might not sound like a big deal, and there are a lot of other softwares out there that do something similar, however PopUp Domination is a bit different. The reason PopUp Domination stands out is the way it looks, works, and integrates with the rest of your site. It comes with seven different template styles, each with 14 different color combinations, and an easy 1&#8230;2&#8230;3.. setup that literally takes about two minutes to get up and working on your site. It&#8217;s the fastest and most professional looking way to get an opt-in popup on your site.</p>
<h2>How it works?</h2>
<p>The first thing you&#8217;ll need to do once you&#8217;ve installed the plugin on your site is to go to the settings page.<br />
You&#8217;ll first set the look and feel you want for your lightbox popup. Like I said before, it has seven different templates for you to pick from, as well as multiple color choices after that. Just go through and mess with this until you find one that looks good and matches your site.</p>
<p>Next you plug in the html web form code from your auto-responder. (I use and highly recommend <a title="aweber" href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/aweber/" target="_blank">aweber</a>)</p>
<p>Then you fill out what you want your headline and bullet points to be on your form. Make sure you use something compelling. Now, I&#8217;m not the world&#8217;s greatest copywriter so I&#8217;m not going to give you tips on what to put in here. Jjust keep in mind that people are going to be seeing this for just a few seconds when they first come to your site. So you want it to be eye catching, professional looking, and have a strong call to action.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/popup-domination/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-507" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="popup-dominator-look" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/popup-dominator-look.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>After that, you&#8217;ll set up how often and where you want the <strong>lightbox popup</strong> to show. It can be set to show once a day all the way to once every seven days. Depending on your site, type of traffic, and niche you&#8217;ll have to experiment to see what works best for you. I&#8217;ve got mine set up to show once a day and be active for every page of the site for now, but I might change that later on as I test more.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/popup-domination/"><img class="size-full wp-image-512 alignleft" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="pop-up-dominator-settings" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/pop-up-dominator-settings.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And that&#8217;s it! You can preview it to make sure it looks good before activating it on your website.</p>
<h3>Advanced:</h3>
<p>Since it comes with full .psd files and has a code editor function in the options, an advanced user can customize it as much or as little as they want. Sometimes the best way to get it to look the way you want is to just create an image in photoshop rather than using the text and bullet point fields. This can easily be done with the included .psd files.</p>
<p><strong>PopUp Domination</strong> is by far one of my favorite wordpress plug-ins and I highly recommend it to any one looking to easily add a list building aspect to their blog.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-164" href="http://www.profitblog.com/powered-by-rapid-action-profits/rapbox/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-164" title="rapbox" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/rapbox.jpg" alt="" width="257" height="298" /></a>Whether you&#8217;re an affiliate marketer, product creator, or private label rights marketer, there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ve heard of <a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/rap" target="_blank">Rapid Action Profits</a>.  If you are an affiliate marketer, you may have at some point signed up to an affiliate program that was <strong>powered by Rapid Action Profits</strong>.  The cool thing about this affiliate software, is that it pays instant commissions through PayPal.</p>
<p>For instance, if you are promoting an ebook that costs $47, and the affiliate program pays out 50% commissions, instead of getting $23.50 for each sale you&#8217;d get $47 for every other sale!  The merchant gets the $47 for the first sale you generate, and you get $47 for the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc&#8230;  That&#8217;s why Rapid Action Profits appeals to affiliate marketers.  there&#8217;s no need to wait 30, 60, or even 90+ days for an affiliate payout.</p>
<p>If you want to find one of these affiliate programs to promote, it&#8217;s really easy.  Simply type the following search string into Google (in quotes):</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;powered by rapid action profits&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>When you do this, you&#8217;ll find a ton of Rapid Action Profits affiliate programs to promote.  You can also add on your main keywords to your search to narrow it down more niche specific.  For example, you could type the following search string if you&#8217;re in the weight loss niche:</p>
<p><strong>weight loss</strong> <strong>&#8220;powered by rapid action profits&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>If you are a product creator, you&#8217;ll love using <a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/rap"><strong>Rapid Action Profits</strong></a>, because it allows you a lot of flexibility in your marketing, and is appealing to affiliates because of the instant commissions through PayPal.  The only problem, is you&#8217;ll have to do a bit more leg work in recruiting affiliates at the beginning, as compared to large affiliate networks like Clickbank.  This really isn&#8217;t an issue if you&#8217;re actively recruiting anyways.  The main thing is that you have a good product.  You won&#8217;t have much luck recruiting affiliates when you&#8217;re selling some re-hashed garbage from an old ebook from 1997.  But that&#8217;s just common sense anyways.</p>
<p>If you like to sell master resale rights (MRR) or private label rights products (PLR), then you&#8217;ll definitely benefit from using Rapid Action Profits.  You can easily set up as many products as you like, and easily collect money, and deliver your products to your customers on complete autopilot.  Once you set it up, that&#8217;s it!  You can even be crafty, and set up a bunch of products that offer 100% commissions to affiliates just to build your list.  There are a lot of possibilities with the software.   There is a small learning curve, but there are some really good trainings out there such as <a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/rapvideos" target="_blank">Rapid Action Videos</a> to help you get started.</p>
<p>Check it out if your marketing fits into any of these categories.  It really is an awesome software. <a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/rap" target="_blank">Visit Rapid Action Profits</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-66" title="marketsamurai2" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai2.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="270" /></a>Today, I am going to share something with you that has helped my online business tremendously over the past couple of years.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai" target="_blank"><strong>Market Samurai</strong></a>. <strong>Market Samurai</strong> was developed by Brent Hodgson &amp; Eugene Ware, using the latest Adobe Air platform. This alone makes their software very reliable, as well as powerful. The main focus of Market Samurai was initially a keyword research software, but it&#8217;s actually much more than that. To me, it has been more of a &#8220;spy on your competitors and steal their rankings in Google&#8221; software.</p>
<p>And when I say that, I&#8217;m serious. You can find out exactly how many backlinks your competitors have, what anchor texts they are using, and even find out exactly what position you are in compared to them in the Google rankings for multiple keywords, and in a matter of minutes!</p>
<p>The thing that really stands out with their software, is that it is constantly being updated. They even give free updates which is awesome!</p>
<h2>Market Samurai Review</h2>
<p>Market Samurai has many uses, so I&#8217;m going to start by going over the list of it&#8217;s features:</p>
<p><strong>1. Rank Tracker</strong></p>
<p>With the rank tracker feature, you can find out where you and / or your competitors are positioned in the search engines for specific keywords. You can enter as many keywords as you like, as well as compare your websites rankings with as many competitors&#8217; sites as you wish. Once you have it set up (it takes like 3 minutes), you can just run the results again every day to see if either you or your competition have moved up in the Google rankings.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai"><img class="size-full wp-image-121 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="marketsamurai1" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai11.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="338" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2. Keyword Research Tool</strong></p>
<p>The Market Samurai Research tool puts the regular Google keyword tool to shame! Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I still use the Google keyword tool sometimes myself because of how simple it is, but this tool is much more powerful. You can find all kinds of profitable keyword phrases, and even find out approximately how much traffic you&#8217;ll receive if you can rank #1 in Google for each phrase using their SEOT column. SEOT stands for &#8220;search engine traffic&#8221;, and shows what the maximum amount of clicks you&#8217;ll likely receive in a day for a #1 ranking.</p>
<p>You can also find out how competetive each keyword is, and whether or not it&#8217;s worth going after. Needless to say, the Market Samurai keyword tool is VERY useful for market / keyword research.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-122" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="marketsamurai2" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai24.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="318" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3. SEO Competition</strong></p>
<p>Of all the features in this <strong>Market Samurai Review</strong>, this one is probably my favorite feature one of all. With this feature alone, you can find out what it&#8217;s going to take to REALLY compete with your competitors. There are 2 parts to this section that really stand out to me. Those are the PR analysis (Page rank analysis) and the Anchor Text analysis.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/market-samurai-review/marketsamurai3-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-123"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-123" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="marketsamurai3" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai31.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>The <strong>PR analysis </strong>shows how many backlinks are coming from each PR1 through PR10 sites, and even shows you the EXACT PAGE they are coming from. This is crazy powerful! I many cases, you can get your links on the same pages as people who are out ranking you! I love this one a lot. <strong>Here&#8217;s a quick screenshot:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-124" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="marketsamurai4" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai41.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="265" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The other really cool part of the SEO Competition feature, is the Anchor Text Analysis tool. This tool is really cool, because it will show you the exact anchor texts that competing websites are using to rank their site high in Google. This is a great way to spy on your competition to know EXACTLY what keywords they are targeting. By now, you should be able to see how insanely powerful Market Samurai is!</p>
<p>Those are pretty much the main 3 features that I use in Market Samurai, but there is still more. Here is a brief overview of the others:</p>
<p><strong>4. Domains </strong></p>
<p>This tool helps you find a brand new domain with your main keyword in it, as well as possible expired domains. If you&#8217;re lucky you can discover some really awesome domain names. This is very helpful whan you&#8217;re stumped on coming up with a good domain name.</p>
<p><strong>5. Monetization</strong></p>
<p>This feature helps you locate products that you can promote for any given keyword that you have yet to monetize. It&#8217;s actually pretty damn cool!</p>
<p><strong>6. Find Content</strong></p>
<p>This feature let&#8217;s you see what&#8217;s currently being discussed and / or written about related to your keyword. This is great for getting new ideas for your website&#8217;s content. Here&#8217;s a quick screen shot so you can get the idea:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="marketsamurai5" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>7. Publish Content</strong></p>
<p>This let&#8217;s you publish new content to a WordPress blog without ever leaving Market Samurai!</p>
<p><strong>8. Promotion</strong></p>
<p>This feature actually helps you find places to get backlinks to your website. I love this feature, because backlink building can be a huge pain in the ass. With the promotion module, you can quickly and easily find some free places to get good quality backlinks. Here&#8217;s a quick screen shot:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="marketsamurai6" src="http://www.profitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/marketsamurai6.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="174" /></a></p>
<p><strong>9. Adwords</strong></p>
<p>This feature is still a work in progress, but expect it to be just as powerful as the rest of them! Pretty exciting if you ask me <img src='http://www.profitblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2><strong>Market Samurai Review:</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Quick Summary of Market Samurai Pros vs. Cons</strong></p>
<p><strong>PROS:</strong></p>
<p>- Regular FREE Updates!</p>
<p>- <strong>Free 30 Day Trial </strong>so you&#8217;ll get hooked using it! <strong>(<a href="http://www.profitblog.com/go/market-samurai">Download Here</a>)</strong></p>

<h2>Conclusion of my Market Samurai Review:</h2>
<p>Market samurai is hands down my favorite software for internet marketing, and trust me, I have used a lot of different softwares. Anyone who is already using Market Samurai knows how powerful it is for outperforming their competitors websites. If you are doing any sort of SEO without using Market Samurai, then you are severely limiting your potential!</p>
<p>With a 30 day free trial of Market Samurai, you can&#8217;t lose. So, is it worth $149? It&#8217;s worth way more than that to me. Heck, just one or 2 commissions will pay for it, plus you get free <strong>lifetime updates</strong> from the developers.</p>
