FIRST,
You have to check this out. Simpleology has just
completed a major acquisition - and the first offering
from this acquisition looks extremely promising. You
can download it at no charge right now:
Simpleology
As you probably know, everything Simpleology releases
is extremely high quality and this will be no exception.
Oh, and if you want traffic for your website, this is
probably the "sanest" solution I've seen for that
problem in a long time. (it's not some gimmicky box
of tricks - but a real plan)

The One Traffic Tool Every Product Owner Should Be Using Daily
By Jimmy D. Brown, http://ping.fm/oZdfX
What if there was a magic bottle that you could rub and a
traffic genie would pop out to beckon to your every
internet marketing command?
After the initial shock wore off, you’d be quite happy to
have it in your possession, right? :-)
Well, in a manner of speaking, such a genie exists. She
exists in the form of an “affiliate manager”.
An “affiliate manager” is someone who oversees the
operations of an affiliate program in exchange for
compensation.
And, out of all the traffic “tools” on the market, the
affiliate manager is the one that you should be using daily
in your business if you own your own product.
Why?
The bottom line is: more traffic, which results in more
revenue for you.
But, specifically, there are 3 reasons why you need an
affiliate manager...
1. Recruiting.
Your affiliate manager can recruit new affiliates into your
program for you. Instead of you spending time trying to
find (and then convince!) affiliates to join your program,
your “affman” can do this for you while you focus on other
things.
2. Rewarding.
Everyone knows that simply getting people to join your
affiliate program is not enough. It takes a lot of effort
to get passive affiliates to become (and stay!) active. An
affiliate manager is responsible for motivating your team
to remain involved in your promotions.
3. Running.
Beyond getting affiliates into your program and making sure
they stay active, your affiliate manager can “run” as much
of your operations as you want her to. Here are just a few
things my affiliate manager (props to Nicole!) does...
* Creates training materials
* Write follow-up mailings
* Communicates with affiliates
* Answer affiliate support questions
* Monitors contests and incentive programs
* Posts to our blog
* Clerical stuff (creates rebrandable files, etc.)
* Circulates content (article directories, etc.)
I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
Perhaps the best part of hiring an affiliate manager is the
fact that it doesn’t have to cost you a penny in out of
pocket expenses. That is, you can setup your agreement to
be performance-based: you pay the affiliate manager a
percentage of the overall revenue generated through her
efforts ... the more revenue she brings in through the
affiliate program, the more she earns.
Now, the question is –
** Where do I find an affiliate manager? **
There are actually quite a few ways to find quality
(emphasis needs to be on “QUALITY!”) affiliate managers for
your program. Let me share just one...
One of the easiest ways to find an affiliate manager is to
visit your favorite affiliate marketing (or internet
marketing) forum and post a request asking for
recommendations or responses for your needs.
You can do this in two ways -
1. Post a PUBLIC Request.
That is, you post a message for everyone to see, with brief
details on the position you have available and that you are
seeking recommendations or interest to explore further.
2. Post a PRIVATE Request.
The other option is to identify those participants at the
forum who appear to have experience and/or knowledge in
affiliate marketing who might be good affiliate manager
material. Then, you would simply contact them privately to
see if there is interest in discussing your needs.
Running your own affiliate program is a tremendous traffic
generation tool, but it has a lot of parts. There are many
different activities that are involved in successfully
running an affiliate program, and hiring an affiliate
manager to oversee your operations is a great way to free
up your time to work on creating additional products and
other “creative” work.
A good affiliate manager can bring in affiliates, train and
motivate them, and run your operations for you. Her efforts
bring in the traffic; your efforts turn the traffic into
orders.
It’s the closest thing to a traffic genie in a bottle that
you’ll find. Rubbing is optional. Using this strategy
isn’t.

How To Get All The Free Traffic You Want With Only One Marketing Activity
By Jimmy D. Brown, http://ping.fm/oZdfX
Are you a “traffic juggler”?
That is, do you attempt to get traffic to your site by
doing all kinds of activities ranging from SEO to PPC
listings to buying solo mailings?
In other words, do you “juggle” your traffic generation
activities like multi-colored balls – never holding on to
one for very long and always moving on to the next one?
As a recovering “traffic juggler” myself, I can tell you
this with great certainty ... you and I aren’t alone.
Sadly, most internet marketers wear the same hat. They
complicate things by trying every new traffic strategy,
buying ever new traffic tool and joining every new traffic
program.
It doesn’t need to be that way.
In fact, what I want to suggest to you in this article will
make your life a whole lot easier, and, as a direct result,
will actually get more traffic to your site than ever
before.
Brace yourself for a life-changing statement –
** If you have your own product to sell online,
you only need to focus on ONE traffic strategy! **
Yep, you read that correctly.
Instead of trying to do a gazillion things, there is a very
simple, very effective approach: focus on the ONE thing
that really matters, the ONE thing that produces the
greatest results, the ONE thing that will get you all the
traffic you’ll ever need.
And that ONE thing is to...
** Start, Strengthen and Spread Your Own Affiliate Program*
Let’s look at that statement in 3 steps for simplicity
purposes...
Step 1: *START* Your Affiliate Program.
There is one major reason why you need to start your own
affiliate program that stands head and shoulders above the
rest: every traffic generation concept (past, present and
future) can be done FOR YOU, BY OTHERS if you have your own
affiliate program in place.
Let that sink in. Chew on that for a while. It’s such a
paradigm shift that most people don’t even realize the
tidal-wave-like power behind the concept.
Instead of you working with PPC ads and you working on the
SEO stuff and you buying the solo mailings, you can get
others to do this FOR YOU as a member of your affiliate
program.
So, to begin with, you need to start your own affiliate
program. A great place to do this is Clickbank.com.
Step 2: *STRENGTHEN* Your Affiliate Program.
After establishing your affiliate program, it’s important
to “strengthen” it. That is, you will need to train your
affiliates to do all of the marketing for you. You’ll also
need to provide them with marketing materials such as
brandable PDF reports, articles, advertisements, banners,
etc.
But, let’s take this another step.
Instead of loading some marketing and training materials to
your affiliate center and leaving it up to your affiliates
to figure out how to use them, why not point out how to use
them?
Example: List 10 great newsletters where they can purchase
solo mailings to promote your offer. Put something in
there for every budget. (What a nice treat it will be when
one of your aggressive affiliates purchases a $500 solo
mailing to promote your offer!)
You’ll be SHOCKED to see what this one additional step can
mean to your bottom line.
But, you could take it even another step further.
How about offering to personally train 10 affiliates in how
best to promote your offer? You could teach one how to use
ezine advertising; another how to buy PPC ads in numerous
engines; still another how to distribute ezine articles.
(Here’s an idea: how about you purchase a copy of the
latest traffic tool or manual for one of your affiliates
and get them involved in using it to promote you?!)
Can you imagine the impact?
Step 3: *SPREAD* Your Affiliate Program.
Finally, you want to continue growing your program by
recruiting more and more affiliates. As your numbers grow,
so will your results.
The bottom line is simple: instead of “juggling” a bunch
of different traffic ideas, a much more effective use of
your time is to focus on ONE source of traffic: your own
affiliate program.
Juggling is great for clowns, but lousy for internet
marketers.
Don’t be a clown when it comes to your business.

The One Traffic Tool Every Product Owner Should Be Using Daily
By Jimmy D. Brown, http://ping.fm/t14aH
What if there was a magic bottle that you could rub and a
traffic genie would pop out to beckon to your every
internet marketing command?
After the initial shock wore off, you’d be quite happy to

Well, in a manner of speaking, such a genie exists. She

Running your own affiliate program is a tremendous traffic

Beyond getting affiliates into your program and making sure
they stay active, your affiliate manager can “run” as much
of your operations as you want her to. Here are just a few
things my affiliate manager (props to Nicole!) does...
* Creates training materials
* Write follow-up mailings
* Communicates with affiliates
* Answer affiliate support questions
* Monitors contests and incentive programs
* Posts to our blog
* Clerical stuff (creates rebrandable files, etc.)
* Circulates content (article directories, etc.)
I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
Perhaps the best part of hiring an affiliate manager is the
fact that it doesn’t have to cost you a penny in out of
pocket expenses. That is, you can setup your agreement to
be performance-based: you pay the affiliate manager a
percentage of the overall revenue generated through her
efforts ... the more revenue she brings in through the
affiliate program, the more she earns.
Now, the question is –
** Where do I find an affiliate manager? **
There are actually quite a few ways to find quality
(emphasis needs to be on “QUALITY!”) affiliate managers for
your program. Let me share just one...
One of the easiest ways to find an affiliate manager is to
visit your favorite affiliate marketing (or internet
marketing) forum and post a request asking for
recommendations or responses for your needs.
You can do this in two ways -
1. Post a PUBLIC Request.
That is, you post a message for everyone to see, with brief
details on the position you have available and that you are
seeking recommendations or interest to explore further.
2. Post a PRIVATE Request.
The other option is to identify those participants at the
forum who appear to have experience and/or knowledge in
affiliate marketing who might be good affiliate manager
material. Then, you would simply contact them privately to
see if there is interest in discussing your needs.
Running your own affiliate program is a tremendous traffic
generation tool, but it has a lot of parts. There are many
different activities that are involved in successfully
running an affiliate program, and hiring an affiliate
manager to oversee your operations is a great way to free
up your time to work on creating additional products and
other “creative” work.
A good affiliate manager can bring in affiliates, train and
motivate them, and run your operations for you. Her efforts
bring in the traffic; your efforts turn the traffic into
orders.
It’s the closest thing to a traffic genie in a bottle that
you’ll find. Rubbing is optional. Using this strategy
isn’t.

CS Casino
With all the online casinos out there today it's hard to decide which ones to trust.
CS Casino has been in operation since 1997 at which time there were only a handful of online casinos to choose from. In my opinion, any online casino that has been in operation for over 7 years must be trustworthy. They also have won numerous awards to back this up including Gambling Online Magazine's "Best Reputation" award 3 years in a row from 2001-2003 and "Best Payout / E-Cash Program" by readers of Casino Player Magazine.
If it's software quality you're looking for, CS Casino uses award winning software developed by Cryptologic, a leading developer in online casino software. Here are a few screen shots of their casino:
 |  |
$100 bonus after $8,000 wagered for new and
existing players!
GAMES
CS Casino has over 80 casino games to choose from including several progressive jackpot games such as:
- ($1 and $0.25) Triple Olives Slots
- ($1 and $0.25) Super Jackpot Video Poker
- Rags to Riches Slots
- Spice Island Poker
- Video Keno
- Shoot-O-Rama
- Video Slots
Their largest progressive jackpot winner was "BOBO" who won $414,119.22 on September 3, 2001. This is the currently one of the largest jackpots ever won online.
PEAK REWARD LOYALTY PROGRAM
One of the best features of CS Casino is their COMP Program - undeniably the best COMP Program I've come across. It was voted "Editor's Pick and Top Progressive Slot" for 2004 by the readers of Gambling Online Magazine. They have a plethora of merchandise to choose from including:
-
Travel Packages
- Golf merchandise
- Jewelry
- Electronic equipment
- And more!

Sun Poker
There is a new edition to the online poker family! Peak
Entertainment™, one of the most prestigious and trusted gaming companies
in the online industry, is proud to offer Sun
Poker™ to the virtual gaming world.
Sun
Poker uses Cryptologic software, one of the most advanced and esteemed gaming
software companies in the industry. Although the look and feel of the software
similarly compares to other poker rooms, Sun Poker is quick, flawless and hassle
free. Here are a few screen shots of the software:
 |  |
Let me tell you, this poker room is addicting! I've played poker
with my buddies for several years and didn't think playing online would have
the same appeal as sitting around a table with trash talking friends. Within
an hour of playing
Sun Poker I was hooked! For two weeks I was playing every night for a couple
of hours, and this was just the "play for fun" mode. Once I was used
to the pace of the game, I finally decided to play for real money. After two
hands I was up $100 and feeling pretty good about my poker skills. Unlike playing
in person, you have to concentrate on the betting habits of the other people
at the table instead of relying on the little quirks and nuances of each individual.
You'll see what I mean once you start to play.
At
Sun Poker you can choose to play Texas Hold 'Em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha High
and Omaha High/Low. They also have daily tournaments where you can test your
skills against the best from all over the world. Believe me, it's pretty exciting
knowing that you're playing in a tournament with a guy half way across the world.
That's the great thing about poker - the rules of the game are the same no matter
what language you speak!
Bonus
Receive up to $1,000 in bonus money each and every month!
Jackpots
The Bad Beat Jackpot will never drop below the minimum of $2,500.00/£1,500.
Every morning at 12:00 AM EST, the jackpot will increase by $150.00/£100.
Review Summary
Take it from me, out of all the online poker rooms I've tried,
Sun
Poker is definitely my favorite. If you're a poker fan like me but just
don't have the time to get together with your buddies every week, visit www.sunpoker.com,
you may thank me or you may curse me for getting you hooked on one of the best
online poker sites on the Internet today.
Wishing you good cards!..George

Golden Tiger Poker
Golden Tiger Poker was launched in October of 2002 and is still one of the smaller, but more active poker rooms on the 'net.
Since launch, Golden Tiger Poker has delivered over 500,000 hands to their customers, primarily for Texas Hold'em, but also 5 and 7 Card Stud Poker. The advantages and disadvantages of a “smaller” poker room are just two sides of the same coin: Fewer people make it a more friendly atmosphere, since you keep seeing the same folks whenever you play, but fewer people usually means it's harder to find a game other than Texas Hold'em during non-peak hours.
Graphics / Software
The interface and the “play” of Golden Tiger is consistent, the number of seats at a table varies from 2 for 1 on 1 Hold'em, to 8 seats for 5 and 7 card stud and 10 players to each Texas/Omaha Hold'em, tables. The lobby allows you to view open tables, by the type of game. Each game list allows you to view the stakes for the game, the number of people playing and when relevant and the number of people waiting to play. You'll be able to choose the betting limits you're comfortable with. Texas Hold'em stakes range from $.50/$1 to as much as a $50/$100 table. Once you’re in there, you'll see a table and chairs - but only names for players, not Avatars (people) like at most poker rooms. Right click a player’s name for more info on them and the ability to keep notes.
Games
All the games are great if you like that particular version of poker. Texas Hold'em is typically the most popular variation, with 7 Card Stud following closely behind.
Special with Goden Tiger Poker
Golden Tiger also has a $250 prize for highest Texas Hold'em hand every day!
Sign-Up Bonus
First-time depositors - receive 50% bonus up to $200
