Product Review: Traffic Annihilator
Traffic Annihilator is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test…
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Traffic Annihilator” links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Traffic Annihilator Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Traffic Annihilator link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Traffic Annihilator link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Annihilator. So if anyone clicks the Traffic Annihilator image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Traffic Annihilator links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into Traffic Annihilator (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Annihilator image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Annihilator also.
I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Traffic Annihilator even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Traffic Annihilator really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT’s cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Annihilator. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business
The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business
By Jimmy D. Brown
My wife laughs every time she sees me doing it.
At least once or twice every week, I’ll be at my desk (or
at the dining room table) with my Franklin Covey planner
open and a stack of laminated checklists in hand.
“What are you doing, honey?” she calls, already knowing
the answer.
“I’m planning”, I reply with a smile.
She laughs and I get back to work.
She laughs because she swears I spend half of my time
“planning”. But, if you ask me how I’m able to get as
much work done as I do in only 3 hours a day, I’ll point
to a black Franklin Covey planner with about a dozen
laminated checklists inside.
Building an Internet business is easy. Seriously. I’m
not saying that it’s not complicated, because it is. I’m
just saying that it’s easy to accomplish if you just have
a system in place.
There’s very little in this world that can’t be
accomplished with the right set of action steps in front
of you.
Today, I’m going to give you such a system for building
your Internet business. There are only 4 steps…
1. Decide What You Want To Do. Do you want to run an
eBay(R) business? Be an affiliate marketer? Buy and sell
reprint rights? Get involved in niche marketing? While
all of those things will likely find their way into your
plan in time, you gotta begin with one thing at a time.
My recommendation: Choose a “broad” topic you are
interested in and begin building a list of folks interested
in that topic.
2. Determine A Weekly Action Plan. After you decide what
you want to do, it’s time to determine how to get it done.
What I do is this: I create a weekly set of action steps.
That is,I have a set of things I do on Monday, on Tuesday
and so forth. Decide how many hours (as little as ONE) you
want to work each day and schedule yourself a reasonable
amount of things to get done in that time frame. Repeat
this process week after week.
My recommendation: Begin writing ezine articles to
promote your list … and affiliate programs. It’s the
easiest way to get free traffic and build your list at the
same time.
3. Devote Yourself To Staying On Schedule. The important
thing here is to stick to it. The easiest way that I know
of to make certain you develop discipline in your schedule
is to NOT set unrealistic expectations. Give yourself ample
time to do each day’s action step – don’t overschedule.
Look for progress along the way to celebrate. Reward
yourself when you’ve reached a milestone. And, remember,
you’re GROWING a business. Just like physical growth, it
takes time … it WILL happen if you remain committed.
My recommendation: Weave in simple activities related to
the following categories – List building (ezine articles),
product creation(conduct interviews or hire ghostwriters),
site development (making your site convert more visitors into
buyers)and education (continuing to learn new ways to grow
your business)
4. Develop Additional Shortcuts. As you get better and
better at working with your lists, creating products and
tweaking your site,you’ll want to continue to improve your
business with new ideas,strategies, tools and resources.
The key is simple: never stop learning!
Visit forums. Read articles. Download reports. Identify
sites and resources that CONTRIBUTE to your success in
educating you. You want faster results, bigger increases,
automated processes,and other ways to get more accomplished
and more profit, with less work involved.
Everything depends on your developing a plan and sticking to
it.
And that is the REAL secret to building a high-profit
Internet business!

The value of this site is to look at what other top bloggers are doing, and attempt to emulate it with your own blog. Understanding what makes a certain blog in your niche so popular can revolutionize the way you think about and post to your own blog, which could have long lasting positive effects.
TheFreeSite.com offers free blog resources that are as much fun, as they are useful. The site offers users free software, and plugins to enhance any blog, or even create one from scratch.

Life Is Good!
First Happy Easter! I know I haven’t posted in some time, it is something that I need to get better at.
So where are things now that a year has past since Barry’s sudden death? Well the business no longer scares me and I’m actually making some money, which is always good. I am still working on cultivating a relationship with my subscribers and I think I’m getting better at it from some of the comments I have recieved from some of them.
My Skype friends are always looking out for me and they always give me a head’s up on new things that are going on just in case I’ve missed something and I really appreciate that. One of them yesterday as we were talking and Bruno is a subscriber of mine so I asked him how I could make my emails better and he gave me a very good tip about added some tips or tricks to my emails, which is something that I’ve thought of doing for some time but wasn’t sure where to get those tips and tricks from, he suggested I take snippets from PLR ebooks that I have and include them in emails.
On a personal note, my life outside of business is also doing better. I have my last bankruptcy hearing coming up on April 16th and then I will be done with that. I’ve almost got all the past taxes filed that Barry never did so that is good and this year’s taxes will be filed on time.
I have a new love in my life, in fact we’ve known each other for about 6 years and he is my best friend, even when I was married, he was the one I talked to about things going on. As much as Barry and I loved each other it really wasn’t a good marriage and we had some rough times and towards the end we were basically just living in the same place which was sad that things got that bad. But Barry’s main concern or interest was always working and I had a hard time getting him to talk to me or spend time with me without him being on the computer.
My friend came out to Missouri in March for 4 days and the visit went very well, it was very comfortable especially since it was the first time we had met in person. Then towards the end of March I went out there for a week and it was better than when he came out here. Of course I took my laptop and worked while he was at work. We are planning our next visit with me going out there again since I can work from anywhere.
