I wanted to point out as I mentioned in the introduction that these were all affiliate products and furthermore they were going back to bland landing pages with bullet points leading to the offer.
There was nothing fancy, no tracking, no special techniques to improve conversions just plain old landing pages with minimal effort.
The main focus of the test was to see with minimal effort and skills in terms of landing pages what the result would be, and as I said the results are not that exciting but it proves that it works.
I also wanted to point out that you don’t have to write 998 articles, this was just a test over time with x amount of articles, number two, we are talking about building a real business online, not only just building a business but creating a real asset that is worth money on the internet.
Finally when in business, you do not just advertise for one day, you consistently advertise to consistently generate business.
Since the video kept spanning to the right here are the stats.
Here is the data once again.

As I mentioned it’s not what you read about in those sales letters but the objective is to provide results based on certain actions taken, additionally you could do a lot better if you started to test and experiment. With that said do not lose sight of the fact that to build a real business requires real work.
Best Wishes

Hey Sam,
Yes, that is all through e-zine articles, but I think I mentioned to you before in an e-mail that there are other directories but goofball here did not test them in terms of individual links, we are going to start tracking other directories to see what results we get and post them here.
