Lately I’ve heard of datafeed sites and decided to find out what’s it all about.

Well, datafeed sites are simply sites that are created using feeds of data from a merchant, which includes all details about the products they sell.

There are several types of datafeeds – Javascript and file based.

Javascript feeds are simply javascript codes you can add to your site and everything is does automatically for you by the merchant. In this case you don’t have much influence about the products that will show. You able, however, to control the colors and fonts and usually the category of the products.

file based feeds are text files in either XML, CSV or TXT files with all products available from the merchant, along with categories, prices, link to images etc. In this case you have absolutely full control over what you will show on your site.

Here are some sample products from a file based datafeed…

BTW – This is a real product you can order…

I’m going to play a little more with datafeeds and eventually, I’ll decide if it’s too hard work and if it worth the effort.

Stay tuned!

Just take a look…

What can you do with this information?

I guess you’ll have to figure this out yourself. I’m still trying myself…

Good luck.

You can browse Google in real-time & see anyone’s Adwords keywords! This is specially cool because you know what works without the need to lose money on testing.

Better yet, this tool is completely free and you can download it from here: http://www.ppcwebspy.com

Hope you’ll enjoy this tool as I did.

Good luck!

This free WordTracker tool eliminate the need to switch to WordTracker’s window during the writing of a blog post.

It opens up right inside the current browser’s window, search for WordTracker keywords and lists them with their daily search estimates, just like WordTracker does.

Then SEO Blogger will allow you to pick up words you want to use in your post and will count the number of times you use each word as you edit your blog post.

What I feel missing in this tool, that could make it perfect, is the ability to give the density for each keyword.

Anyway, this is a free extension for Firefox, and you may install it directly from here.

Have fun!

This tool brings lots of useful functions to your browser. One is the Keywords & Bids. This option will use a given keyword to search for similar keywords on WordTracker and bids range from Google AdWords. This will give you instant indication weather this keyword or niche is any good for you to build a campaign around.

The toolbar will also display the Google PageRank and Alexa Rank of the current page, Number and list of inbound links and Real-Time Web and Conversiona statistics from HopURL.com.

A special feature of EverProfit Toolbar allows you to display PageRank, Alexa Rank and number on inbound links directly inside Google search results.

You will also be able to see latest internet marketing news, alerts and opportunities and editor’s picks.

EverProfits Toolbar‘s Content Wizard will search for articles by a specific keyword and will rewrite them according to your specifications. This will allow you to easily create articles to promote you web site.

All in all, this is a great tools for internet marketers, both beginners and experts. You may go to EverProfit Toolbar‘s site to view a detailed video and download and install the toolbar completely free.

For some, article writing comes easy. Some use outsourcing. Some try to write but needs a little help.

This is where Article Ideas comes in.

Article Ideas software is a simple tool that takes a keyword or a phrase and search that term in 300 article directories. It then takes paragraphs containing the specified phrase of the articles found, and create a long document with all these paragraphs. All you have to do when the program completes its task is to go over its output and get ideas for your article.

After your article is ready, you can use Automatic Article Submitter to submit your article to these same 300 directories. The more articles you write, that makes use of your keywords, the higher your site will rank in search engines, which means more traffic.

After installing SearchStatus, it will show up on FireFox’s status line and will be ready to give you information as you surf the web. It will show you details about Google PageRank and Alexa rank of the current page, along with SEOmoz rank and Compete rank.

One of the most important features on SearchStatus is that it can highlight nofollow links directly on the page. This way you can know if writing an entry in a forum or commenting on a blog, will assist you in promoting you site ranking on search engines.

Among the other features SearchStatus have are Link report, Meta Tags stripping, Keyword Density statistics, Index and Backlinks status for Google, Yahoo and MS Live. You can also query WhoIs database and see the history   of the page on archive.org.

I use Quirk SearchStatus regularly as I search for forums and blogs to promote my sites, search for link partners and when spying after competitors.

One of these tools is an Add On to FireFox, called PPC Web Spy. This tool show lots of useful information when you search Google.

As soon as you see the Google search results, every AdWords Ad will have a button under it. Clicking this button will show you keywords that used to activate this Ad, along with some more details such as Clicks per day, Average and Max Cost Per Click, Position and more.

You will also be able to see the destination URL of the landing page. This is the page you get to when you click on the Ad. This is useful if you want to see a landing page of an Ad and you don’t want to click the Ad, such as the ones that show up on your site as part of AdSense.

The PPC Web Spy is free to use, although it has Silver, Gold and Platinum versions, in addition to the free Standard version.

I hope you’ll find this tool as useful as I did.

I already made a few steps in the IM world and I have to make you catch up with me. I’ll share with you what I’ve done so far.

Okay, my first step was to learn about Google AdSense. I already have an AdSense account for several years, and my web site usually generates about $50 every month. I always looked at is as a way to cover my site’s expenses. It did.

My Home Study Course showed my a simple trick: If one site can generate $50 monthly, then 10 sites can generate $500 and 100 sites can make me a monthly income of $5000 on Autopilot.

I decided to start and build my first site (as an income source). I researched niches as I was taught in the HSC, built a web site under WordPress, wrote some articles (Didn’t want to outsource at this point) and launched the site: Effective-Spyware-Blockers.com.

Two weeks later, the site is indexed in Google (It was actually indexed in less then 24 hours, but that’s for another post), some links pointing at it, but very few traffic, needless to say clicks on ads. I also added some widgets to the site, Amazon, ClickBank and PayDotCom. If I need to make an income from this site, I will give the visitor anything he might want.

As soon as I understood that AdSense income takes time, I moved to Affiliate programs. Again I researched for a niche, located a product, and created an AdWords campaignand waited. I made two sales, totaling $97 in commissions ad stopped the campaign. It was not profitable enough. I cost me about 80% of my income.

During that time I read Mike Filsaime’s 7 Figure Secrets. Only then I understood the importance of a mailing list. This is my next step…

CU Next time…
