Who is Peter Parks? Affiliate Punisher Review
Who is Peter Parks? Peter Parks is the guy who is going to make a difference in your life. Starting today.
Peter Parks is the guy who will help you decide whether you are a real player in the affiliate marketing industry, making real money knocking down a six-figure income, or just someone who has a bunch of affiliate links on your websites and blogs.
Yes, he is that good.
He knows how to do it. The Aggressive Affiliate Punisher! You know, rank and dominate search engine results pages. He's mastered the art of making sure his products and his information are directly, and I mean consistently directly, in front of buyers when they are ready to buy.
The six-figure bank balance he has didn't just happen by itself. Peter Parks made it happen. And now, he has decided, now is the time to start giving some of what he has learned back. Yes, back to you, and to me.
Don't get me wrong. Peter wasn't born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth. Quite the contrary. He is not so different from you or me. We've all had our struggles, we've all had our challenges, and some of us made it through and overcame them because of a vision, a goal, a passion to succeed which was so strong that not even the harshest days of winter could keep a man like Peter Parks from reaching for the gold, his gold, the gold he saw every time Google rendered another page of search engine results.
He studied with the best. He was educated and mentored by the top players in the industry, including the legendary Frank Kern and Ewen Chia. Because he was wise enough to continually invest heavily in his education, he quickly earned the reputation of being a Super Affiliate. Because he applied what he learned to his business. He has most recently joined forces and is partnering with Eric Rockefeller, a.k.a. "Erock" for a new product Aggressive Affiliates.
In addition to learning and masterminding with top affiliate marketers in the industry, Peter let search engines, the internet and Google educate him. He knows how they work. He has acquired an insider's eye into the mind of consumers; knowing how their words, and the search engines, work in harmony, and that music you hear is the sound of money being deposited into his bank account, every single day. He wants to share the sound of that music with you, and me, now. His burning desire, his want of today is to hear a symphony played every day from all that money landing into our bank accounts too.
He is relentless and aggressive in the way in which he has mastered and learned how to use all the Web 2.0 technologies to put money into his bank account. He has spent endless hours researching and applying every nuance of the industry into a concise and proven system to dominate any niche industry he wants to go after, and he knows how to absolutely CRUSH his competition. And he is the master of traffic, of driving all that free 'cash in hand' traffic from Google to his web sites.
I'll tell you what, the experts and journalists out there go on and on saying that "Content is King" and all that, but let me tell you, Web 2.0 OWNS THE CASTLE. And Peter Parks is the ninja-style warrior in charge of the Web 2.0 castle!
You don't spend as many years as he did absolutely CRUSHING his competition without getting noticed by somebody, right? Yea, he got noticed all right. That's when he could no longer maintain his Underground Traffic Ninja Warrior status.
Luckily for all of us he chose to become openly known in the affiliate marketing industry. People wanted to know what he was all about, and about how he was doing what he was doing to completely dominate any industry he chose, how he was driving all that FREE traffic from Google to his websites, and most importantly they wanted to know the techniques he used to absolutely CRUSH his competition. Who wouldn't want to know that?
So Peter Parks the Aggressive Affiliate began taking on students, and mentoring select individuals who were serious about applying what he taught to grow their affiliate marketing business. And over the span of the last year or so he's been busy compiling all his secrets and techniques of absolutely DOMINATING any MARKET NICHE, driving TONS of FREE TRAFFIC and how he uses Web 2.0 systems to simply CRUSH THE COMPETITION into a product named Affiliate Punisher. The title makes sense, don't you think?
At first you might wonder why? Why would he reveal all this stuff? All his power, all his thunder? Well, it's pretty simple. It doesn't matter how many players are out in the industry. The industry can never be diluted because the playing field is so vast. There is enough to go around for everybody. Including you and me. New market niche's open up every single day. They are there for you to begin your domination of that niche, and to be in a position to absolutely crush anyone even thinking of trying to compete with you. The Affiliate Punisher program teaches you how to do it, step by step.
Personally, there are many qualities and characteristics that I like and respect in Peter Parks. Let me share a few of them with you. First of all, he is succinct. He is precise. He doesn't talk in generalities. He gets to the point in very concise words. He doesn't ask, "Do you know what I mean?" He makes sure you totally understand each step of the process before you go on to the next step. He knows what the 'big picture' looks like because he painted it! He is a master at instructing, "Do this, do this, do this, expect this."!!! Perfect industry-wide money-in-your-bank-account expectations!
And because he has literally written the book on being the Affiliate Punisher, there isn't a single step, process or expected result which he doesn't know intimately and understand. And it is crucial and important to Peter that you 'get it' too. All of this is presented clearly, and precisely in Affiliate Punisher.
Peter Parks is looking for ninja marketers in the making or a ninja marketer that needs a mentor to take them to the next level.
He wants to teach you how to walk into a market and simply CRUSH it with traffic tactics so underground, so ruthless, that it would make a priest blush.
I have Peter Parks in my intellectual crosshairs. You should too. Let him mentor you. Let him teach you. I am.
When you have the opportunity to gain access to Peter Park's Super Affiliate teachings don't think twice. Grab them. Grab Affiliate Punisher now while it is available and on the market. It is now up to you. You can CRUSH your competition. You can have that six-figure income in under six months time. You owe it to yourself to be ruthless for once in your life. Peter Parks shows you how in Affiliate Punisher.
Visit the Affiliate Punisher website at www.AffiliatePunisher.com, listen to the testimonials, watch the videos, prepare your mind for this success, and when the product becomes available to buy, buy it, because chances are your competition is planning to buy it immediately.
Sincerely,

How We Were Able to Make Money Online and Now We Can Help You and Show You How You Can Make Money Online Too!
Dan Lopez and I recently did a very successful and profitable internet marketing experiment combining techniques and marketing strategies openly published by leading internet marketers.
And all this free traffic was highly qualified and in the "I Am Ready to Purchase This Product Now" phase of the buying process - simply because of our strategically-chosen keyword and keyword phrases. No casual information seekers. When they got to the site they were ready to buy.
One product. One keyword. One consistent message. One click through to buy a merchant's product and an affiliate commission to us. Simple.
It was that advice from Jim Koester which helped frame in Dan's and my mindset for this "money-getting" internet marketing experiment. Dan and I didn't really want just crowds, we wanted qualified buyers (who doesn't, right?).
The best part is we didn't have to spend a dime on additional websites or hosting or domains. We used an existing network of personal websites and within seven days of creating the mini-sites we made the first sale utilizing the principles of The FAR Approach.
We focused on the highly competitive HDTV market niche within the electronics market. Pretty gutsy if you ask me to try and compete as newbies in a highly keyword-competitive market. The simple research we utilized showed us there were huge advertising dollars being spent on the HDTV market niche, and even though we started after the Christmas shopping season, we knew we could catch some of the HDTV Super Bowl traffic. We weren't expecting to get all the traffic. We just wanted a small piece of that traffic to visit our sites. We just wanted to generate interest and free traffic. And we did. Surprisingly the traffic hasn't really slowed down much (except for on Super Bowl Sunday!) because of the way we wove our long-tail keyword phrases throughout the text, meta tags and descriptions. It was very easy to do. You can do this too.
Is it simple? Does it really work? Can I do this if I don't have any experience selling on the internet?
The answer to each of your questions is yes, you can do this too. If you can browse and identify bestselling products on Amazon (or from any other vendor with an affiliate program) and use a simple HTML template, you can duplicate everything we did and generate traffic, and make commissions on products shoppers buy. This, at the "very most simple best" is all you have to do. And I have even figured out a way to do this for free, without having to go through the expense and upkeep of buying domain names and hosting websites.
This is for a product which I am comfortable recommending to you as the easiest to understand and use program which explains how we did what we did, and why we did everything the way we did. This is a great program for "newbies" and experienced pros alike. BUT, it is the best place for you to start your online business, and you will not experience the confusion of information overload. You will get just what you need to succeed with your internet business.
Continued success to you!

------------------------------------------------------
We made a sale within seven days
of launching a series of mini-sites and we immediately ranked on Google with solid page one and page two results. And we started getting traffic. Free traffic. No PPC, no advertising, no videos, no articles, no press releases. Solid "I am ready to buy" qualified traffic and buyers. Immediately.And all this free traffic was highly qualified and in the "I Am Ready to Purchase This Product Now" phase of the buying process - simply because of our strategically-chosen keyword and keyword phrases. No casual information seekers. When they got to the site they were ready to buy.
One product. One keyword. One consistent message. One click through to buy a merchant's product and an affiliate commission to us. Simple.
This is better than having to buy and own merchandise, build a website, find a market, build a list.
You get the picture. It can be daunting. One of the earliest mentors in my career was Jim Koester, owner of The Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor, Michigan. He was the king, and I mean the king of wholesale liquidation and generating huge crowds to his Weekend Public Market. Some very good advice which he gave me early on about products and buying and selling in the liquidation industry was, "Don't look at it, don't love it, don't touch it. Buy it and sell it. Immediately." The other piece of good advice he gave me which came in handy when I owned my bookstore was, "Never confuse crowds with money." Time and time again he proved to be so "right on" with that advice.It was that advice from Jim Koester which helped frame in Dan's and my mindset for this "money-getting" internet marketing experiment. Dan and I didn't really want just crowds, we wanted qualified buyers (who doesn't, right?).
It was easy to follow simple guidelines
Dan established some site design guidelines to attract and capture the eyes of site visitors. For instance, all crucial elements above the fold, a compelling "call to action" graphic image, the correct balance of H1 and H2 tagged headlines and sub-heads, strategically-placed keyword phrases in each paragraph, and crucial keyword-rich links to similar websites.The best part is we didn't have to spend a dime on additional websites or hosting or domains. We used an existing network of personal websites and within seven days of creating the mini-sites we made the first sale utilizing the principles of The FAR Approach.
Pretty simple logic. Focus. Action. Results.
We focused on the highly competitive HDTV market niche within the electronics market. Pretty gutsy if you ask me to try and compete as newbies in a highly keyword-competitive market. The simple research we utilized showed us there were huge advertising dollars being spent on the HDTV market niche, and even though we started after the Christmas shopping season, we knew we could catch some of the HDTV Super Bowl traffic. We weren't expecting to get all the traffic. We just wanted a small piece of that traffic to visit our sites. We just wanted to generate interest and free traffic. And we did. Surprisingly the traffic hasn't really slowed down much (except for on Super Bowl Sunday!) because of the way we wove our long-tail keyword phrases throughout the text, meta tags and descriptions. It was very easy to do. You can do this too.
Ok, you might be asking yourself, "How can I do this?"
Is it simple? Does it really work? Can I do this if I don't have any experience selling on the internet?
The answer to each of your questions is yes, you can do this too. If you can browse and identify bestselling products on Amazon (or from any other vendor with an affiliate program) and use a simple HTML template, you can duplicate everything we did and generate traffic, and make commissions on products shoppers buy. This, at the "very most simple best" is all you have to do. And I have even figured out a way to do this for free, without having to go through the expense and upkeep of buying domain names and hosting websites.
The theory is simple.
Catch the people when they are ready to buy. Choose your products to match popular gift-giving holidays (Hallmark has certainly defined those days for us!), discover your own niche to match your personal passion, or just get downright down and dirty and competitive and go after established market niches.Your start up is simple and easy.
Take it at your own pace in your spare time or go into it full time. You just have to add the words to the pages. And they don't even have to be your words. Just gather the data and add your own flavor and personality to what you are selling.You can't take ACTION if you are in the middle of the confusion and chaos of "Information Overload"!
There are so many products I could recommend to you to do this. But the problem you will encounter is what I went through. You will soon begin to experience what all internet marketers come to know as "Information Overload." You will end up spinning your wheels trying to put together all the pieces of the "internet making money online" jigsaw puzzle. Don't do that. I don't want you to do that. You can't take Action if you are in the middle of the confusion and chaos of "Information Overload"!A product I am comfortable recommending to you!
This is for a product which I am comfortable recommending to you as the easiest to understand and use program which explains how we did what we did, and why we did everything the way we did. This is a great program for "newbies" and experienced pros alike. BUT, it is the best place for you to start your online business, and you will not experience the confusion of information overload.

Rich Schefren has done it again with The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency
I Feel Like A Total IdiotThat was my first reaction when I read Constraint #7 inside Rich Schefren's "The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency".
You got your free copy too, right?
Get your free copy of The Uncertainty Syndrome here (if you dare!)
Because in just 60 something pages, Rich basically rips the cover off your business and takes a long hard look inside.
And some of it ain't pretty.
For example, Rich list 7 constraints that most entrepreneurs face. And I was feeling pretty good about numbers one through six.
But when I hit number seven...well, let's just say it hit me back.
Like a sledgehammer upside the head.
Go ahead and click here to get your free copy of The Uncertainty Syndrome here (it's only sixty pages!)
I had no idea I was leaving so much on the table because of this one constraint. In fact, I didn't even know I HAD this stinkin' thing rolling around in my business.
But there it was, plain as day. Staring up at me like a dead fish washed up on the shores of Suttons Bay. And smelling like it too.
Yuck.
But here's the cool part...
Rich offers a Silver Bullet solution for each constraint, giving you practical answers you can implement right away. And that's what I intend on doing with Silver Bullet #7, right after I type this blog post.
But I had to pass this along immediately, because I know you suffer from constraints as well. And you're looking for answers.
Well, here they are..for FREE.
Jay Abraham, America's #1 authority on business has written an great introduction to it as well!
Talk again soon,
Cheryl C. Cigan
AffiliateProgramsoftheInternet.com
P.S. One more thing that struck me when reading Rich's report...
He talks about something called Leisure Phobia, and how this deadly disease is plaguing the entrepreneurial community.
And as I was reading this, I found myself slinking further and further in my chair...
Yikes. Hope it's not affecting you too.
Go ahead and download the report, I know you want to!

It Started With a Death Threat
and Ended With a Letter from John Reese about V.R.E.
A note from Phil Craig reads:
As I was heading home from the office I received the call that would change my life forever.
It was Thursday the 16th of June, 2001, a beautiful day outside, and I had the top down... looking forward to the ride home.
These next few minutes... they will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life. Just as I was about to pull onto highway 404, my cell phone rang.
"Phil", he said. "Yes, this is Phil, who's this?" "I'm the guy that's going to make your wife a widow Phil. You're a dead man."... click.
Freaked out, I tried calling the number back, but I just got a busy signal. My mind was racing a thousand miles a minute and I had to pull over to collect myself.
Whoever just called me had threatened my life.
Needless to say, Phil took the advice of a friend in the law enforcement field and bought a gun and "got out of town" for three years.
When he returned to California he was faced with having to find a job and he began the process of rebuilding his life "state-side."
He was just about to give up in his quest for finding some way to make money on the internet when he received an email from Internet Marketing expert John Reese explaining the concept of V.R.E., or Virtual Real Estate. In the world of Internet Marketing, according to John, the way to increase traffic from the search engines is to own more of the internet - to have more sites and web pages on the internet.
One of the major platforms of John Reese's internet marketing programs is Traffic = Money.
One Thing Phil Learned is That
The Domain Industry is a Billion Dollar Industry.
More of Phil's story...
So, as you can imagine, once I stumbled into this secretive industry I became like a kid in a candy store, researching and buying domains in blocks of 10 or 20 at a time. And I was monetizing them with Google AdSense and then selling them for hefty profits.
I couldn't get enough. In just 6 months I had become an expert at monetizing my VRE and was making $5000 per month, every month, and I was only spending a couple hours a day to do it.
But it was the thrill of the hunt, the thrill of watching my VRE empire grow daily, and the thrill that I was going to turn this into a million dollar enterprise. To say that I was excited is a massive understatement.
I knew there was so much to this VRE... with millions of people flocking to the Internet, just like in real world Real Estate, "property values" would continue to rise.
In ways that would allow me to quickly turn tiny investments into profits like this one...

Datran Media Reports Email Increases as Top Branding Tool for Direct Response Advertising
Internet Marketing - Dynamic Logic Shows Email Increases as Top Branding Tool
The Inbox as a Branding Tool
Research Reveals Email Increases Brand Favorability and Awareness
Marketers know that email can be a great direct response channel, encouraging consumers to take immediate action and help boost sales, but few thought of email as a powerful branding medium.
Until now.
A new study conducted by Dynamic Logic shows inbox advertising can provide significant branding benefits in addition to the acquisition strengths typically attributed to the media channel.
The study, conducted with Datran Media and eHarmony, reveals that inbox advertising made 37.7 percent of people aware of one of the tested campaigns. These people otherwise would not have been aware of it. In addition, unaided brand awareness increased 11.5 percentage points, and brand favorability increased 7.3 percentage points.
The results counter mainstream characterizations of inbox advertising as an acquisition-only vehicle. More than many other channels, inbox advertising gives companies the ability to deliver highly targeted messages to opt-in consumers. Because it significantly increases the chances of delivering the right message to the right consumer at the right time, inbox advertising can have the additional benefit of creating a more favorable impression of the company's brand.
"Until now, marketers hypothesized that the key role of inbox advertising was an acquisitive one, and there was no formal research to verify the branding benefits," said Jason Oates, vice president of media services for Datran Media. "This study makes it clear that inbox advertising provides significant brand impact across each of the key branding metrics, including brand favorability. This applies to both contextual ad inclusions and targeted stand-alone branded acquisition-focused email advertising."
eHarmony's CEO, Greg Waldorf, echoed Oates' remarks and added, "These results show that email campaigns are not only an effective customer acquisition vehicle, but also are supporting and enhancing consumer impressions of the eHarmony brand."

Because it significantly increases the chances of delivering the right message to the right consumer at the right time, inbox advertising can have the additional benefit of creating a more favorable impression of the company's brand.
"Until now, marketers hypothesized that the key role of inbox advertising was an acquisitive one, and there was no formal research to verify the branding benefits," said Jason Oates, vice president of media services for Datran Media. "This study makes it clear that inbox advertising provides significant brand impact across each of the key branding metrics, including brand favorability. This applies to both contextual ad inclusions and targeted stand-alone branded acquisition-focused email advertising."
eHarmony's CEO, Greg Waldorf, echoed Oates' remarks and added, "These results show that email campaigns are not only an effective customer acquisition vehicle, but also are supporting and enhancing consumer impressions of the eHarmony brand."

Gen X author Tony Rubleski skyrocketed to the top of the Amazon.com "Marketing Sales" charts last week with his new book Mind Capture: How You Can Stand Out In The Age of Advertising Deficit Disorder. This feat was accomplished within hours after the book launched on the popular retail site. MIND CAPTURE also topped the "Movers Shakers" list which identifies, by category, the biggest gainers in sales rank over a 24 hour period. The book was at the #2 slot for most of the day. When the book was first launched shortly after midnight on the 29th, it ranked #71,298 in terms of all titles online. By late afternoon, it had jumped as high as #140 – an increase of more than 46,000% according to Amazon.com reports.
"Our team sat perched at their computers watching the rankings get higher as the day progressed and I’m absolutely thrilled with our results for the opening day," Tony says. "Americans are starving for good, solid marketing advice and I think MIND CAPTURE delivers that to them. The fact that the books were flying off the shelves, so to speak, is a testament to that."
With MIND CAPTURE, Tony has written a fun, engaging and practical business book that shares real-world, specific strategies to help sales professionals, entrepreneurs and business owners wade through the confusing and changing advertising arena to stand out from the marketing clutter to produce ‘Mind Capture,’ sales and repeat business.
"With the economy continuing to be a daily talking point with the media and by the Presidential candidates and advertisers vying for our attention on social message boards, nearly everyone from our minister to our parents have become bottom-line salespeople, trying to capture our attention," says Tony – who is on a mission to perform a million marketing exorcisms before he hits 40. "And let’s face it, these days we have the attention span of a fly."
Rubleski says the amount of new media options being created creates even more and more confusion and argues that understanding ‘Mind Capture’ and taking a fresh look at your marketing and sales strategy will determine your success or demise in today’s sped up, web based world. Using "to- the-point" techniques and case studies, including the one about a former rock star who used ‘Mind Capture’ to raise money to fund a music CD release, Rubleski reveals:
With resistance to advertising at an all-time high, Rubleski presents the societal forces all businesses and non-profits are up against when trying to communicate and what they must do if they are going to have any chance of being noticed, taken seriously, and believed.
Tony Rubleski is currently the president of Mind Capture Group which focuses on direct marketing consulting, copywriting, advanced public relations and sales and marketing training for business groups and sales teams. He has advised many of the top sales and marketing minds in the world and his work has been featured in such outlets as Bottom Line Magazine, FOX TV news, the Detroit Free Press and Entrepreneur Radio.
On July 21st, Tony began an ambitious 50+ city, national tour.

Why you must be Google-licous in the digital age;
The #1 mistake 99% of businesses and organizations make in their marketing;
