I recently bought a product called Macro Marketer. It cost $37 and was meant to automate lots of day to day tasks such as accessing a web page and logging on. There was an add-on package for a further $37 which I also bought.
Both products had the usual 60 day money back guarantee so when I discovered that I couldn’t make the software work, I decided to ask for a refund. I paid through Paypal so thought that there would be no problems but I was wrong.
I emailed the vendor several times, with no response. I used his so-called “help desk” and updated my request several times – no response. I used the Paypal complaint system with no response and Paypal couldn’t help me because it wasn’t a delivery issue. My credit card company wouldn’t help either because the purchase was under £100.
I contacted the owners of the base product who were very helpful but couldn’t offer a refund as I didn’t buy through them. They did, however, offer to help me to use the software, which was decent of them.
So, there are a couple of warnings here:
1. Don’t buy from this vendor whose

The easiest way to get into niche marketing is to start with a subject that is close to your heart. If you love pets or babies or gardening, focus on that niche because chances are you already know quite a bit about it.
Of course those niches are far too wide, so get a piece of paper or sit down at your computer and make a list of everything you can think of to do with that main niche; these will be your sub-niches. So, if we start with pets, this is how we create our sub-niche:
Dogs Cats Horses Goldfish Rodents Exotic Pets Birds
Unfortunately, these niches are a bit too wide as well, so narrow them down further, starting with dogs:
Dog health Dog behaviour Dog training Dog food
Do the same again:
Healthy dog food Home made dog food Raw dog food Meat free dog food Food for dogs with diabetes Food for dogs with kidney disease Food for old dogs Food for puppies
Now these last few are becoming narrow enough not to have too much competition so it’s time to check. You can use any free online keyword, such as the Google Adwords keyword

These are the websites which I have personally found to be the most effective at getting my articles to page 1 of Google for my selected keywords.

If you want to take advantage of getting free traffic with article marketing then you need to know how to write a resource box. The resource box or author bio is the bit at the bottom of the article where you’re allowed to put your own links to encourage readers to visit your website. If you don’t do this properly, you won’t get any click throughs (or in other words visitors) from your wonderfully written article so here’s my take on how to write a resource box.
I’ve been using article marketing for years and in my experience, there are a number of ways you can go with your resource box.
There are some rules in this respect. Firstly what your say in your author bio should be true in terms of meeting your readers’ expectations. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you tell them you’re a rocket scientist when you’re not but if you’ve promised them more information on being a rocket scientist then that’s what you need to provide. Do not make people who are reading an article on how to be a rocket scientist land on a page which talks about creating website traffic or

One of the major headaches when running an online business is getting targeted traffic, visitors who will actually buy what you have to offer. Having a budget for paid traffic is another problem so here are some hints as to how to get website traffic free.
1. Writing Articles
Write an interesting, informative article and submit it to article directories or even ezines. Leave your readers wanting more so that they’ll click through to your website. This is one of the easiest ways to get website traffic free.
2. Link Exchange
The point of link exchange is that you don’t want to exchange links with a website which sells the same or competing products to those that you are selling. So think laterally; if your site sells dog training products, it would be good to exchange links with a site which sells dog medications or some other doggie product. Input some suitable search terms into one of the search engines then contact the webmasters of the sites that come up to see if they would like to exchange links with you. Sites with a high Page Rank are preferable.
3. Forums
Once again, search the internet, but this time
