“Desperate Nerd From Ohio, achieves….”

Or How about

“One Legged Golfer, reveals…”

Those are great headlines that sold so much product they made their creators beyond rich. Reason why is because we as humans are attracted to stories.

But beyond that, what really ties the knot in this case is this thinking:

“If a one legged golfer can do it, then so can I!”

“If a desperate nerd from Ohio got it to work, I can do it too!”

When someone with a disability achieves results far above average, we are quick to think it must be easy. This thinking is actually correct a lot of the time.

Imagine our one legged golfer: it’s pretty safe to assume they have a strong disadvantage over their multi legged counterparts.

But if they developed a system or tap into some kind of secret, then that system would work even better for someone in full capacity.

Of course the drive and desire have to be there, but beyond that, systems work and they are the way by which ordinary and sometimes strongly disadvantaged players get their big breaks.

I’m telling you this because about a month ago I met a guy named Kevin.

Young guy, somewhere in his early twenties who has not only overcome the odds by making himself into a strong 6 figure earner at an age when many are still in school, but he also did it despite being completely unable to talk.

Here’a link, but keep reading here, it gets better:

3 Major Niches
———————-

A lot of our gurus get their breaks almost by mistake. In fact that happens a lot in life.

Just this morning, I was talking with some mastermind fellows and the conversation went towards the ability to reproduce results.

We all pretty much agreed that while what the Google Guys (Sergei and Larry) had done was pretty exceptional, they almost certainly couldn’t do it again.

Think about it, it’s a case of right thing at the right time: non exceptional skill + luck = once in a lifetime result.

Do you really think that even if you gave them both a million years, they could ever come out with another Google? I don’t think so…

Same thing for the world’s youngest billionaire, the founder of Facebook. Do you think he could do it again? I don’t.

And that’s one of the main reasons I stay away from things like that: for every super home run, there are a million failures you never hear about.

So essentially, I strive for things that are simple, proven and with an ability to last and be done again and again.

When I enter a new market or make a new product, I pretty much know what’s going to happen: I’m going to make a small but certain pile of cash.

And that’s exactly what Kevin has been using his system to accomplish.

In just a few months, he successfully used his system to enter 3 of the most competitive and cashfilled niches around:

- Internet Marketing (and his success at it makes him more than qualified)

- Betting and Horse Racing

- Forex Currency Trading

Those are markets in which the millions are flowing and the competition is supposedly fierce. Supposedly because if you work the system properly, there is no real competition. At least not any that you can’t crush underfoot if they refuse to fall in line and get out of your way…

————————————-
CRACKING THE CODE
————————————

Kevin has recently released a book that demonstrates how he does it. It’s short and no fluff.

The material is right on point and just 2 of the diagrams in there made it more than worth the asking price.

But then I hit the download page and was literally blown away. There is a pile of unadvertised bonuses in there. Not the crappy rehashed PLR stuff: real quality materials including PDFs, audios and videos.

It’s like a killer library of cash in there. I’ve been enthralled since last night and I haven’t even been able to look at the half of it…

——————————————–
READY FOR THE BEST PART?
——————————————

This offer is so good I’m not even sure what the best part is…

You see Kevin sells this for the grossly underpriced sum of $47. And it sells very well everyday, a lot of it from word of mouth since the value is so high.

But then I did the greedy thing and asked Kevin if he would be willing to do something special for my customers and subscribers.

I’m not one to shy away from asking for what I want, so I asked for the full package: a big rebate, some extra bonuses AND a special call where I get to grill him silly for my and your enjoyment (as you can well imagine, the call will be with his partner since he can’t talk…)

We’re going to talk about his niches and websites and the exact tactics he used to make it happen. And if you know me, you know I won’t settle for generalities and hot air…

To my surprise he said, “sure Alex, anything for you”.

———————————————–
SO HERE IS THE DEAL WE MADE
———————————————-

Kevin has made a special page for you only. You have 48 hours to follow this link and place your order there.

You will get a full $20 off the already discounted launch price. That means you get it all for just $27, which I think you can agree is plain ridiculous…

- You get the core blueprint
- You get ALL the unadvertised bonuses (something like a thousand bucks worth)
- You get 2 extra bonuses
- You get the “Feet to the Fire” call where I grill him silly

AND You get 30 days of email training (only the first 100).

This is not like those other programs where some uninterested customer support Pill gives you vague answers three days later. This is the real deal where a real pro shows you where it’s at.

Just that is worth more than the $27 investment if you only use it one time (and you can use it for 30 days).

——————————–
How to Claim your SPOT
——————————-

All you have to do to get all that is place your order through the link below within the next 48 hours. The sooner the better if you want to be sure to get it ALL.

Then email me your receipt to bonusoffury (a.t.) gmail (d.ot) com with the title CODE BONUS.

That’s all I have to say about this and I will only ever mention this offer once, so make good on it now if you like what you’ve read so far:

http://www.crackingonlinewealthcode.com/alex/

Whether you take advantage of this exceptional offer today or not, I’m glad to have been able to bring it to you today. I like it when I can bring you something different and valuable that adds some clear cut benefits to being a customer or subscriber with me.

Another slew of oozing gooey sales pitches disguised as friendly communication.

Another wave of guru bashing. Another dose of fake outrage at what the gurus have stooped to (yes, they keep going lower and lower those hell spawn).

Another lazy long haired surfer boy brandishing easy riches. Another dream, just one in an endless string of broken promises and hype…

When you look at pros in whatever field you can imagine, there are two types of people at the top: those who get there with every ounce of juice their body and mind was ever able to produce, and those that make it look so easy you start thinking they got nothing over you.

Kern is of the second type. This guy flies right under your radar with his dorky T-shirts, rude jokes, improper humour and general lack of seriousness.

Indeed, when you see him presenting at conferences, he might as well be sitting around with a bunch of friends drinking beer: that’s how laid back this guy is.

But it’s all an act. Frank Kern is the epitome of the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. You think, hey, there’s no way that “dude” is going to sell me anything. M. Visa and M. Mastercard can stay well anchored in your wallet right?

Hello no. I’m not sure I’ve encountered a more dangerous marketer than Kern.

This guy gives you stuff the likes of which most gurus would be honoured to sell… if they had half the brains to come up with it.

Slowly, the rich content and beaming smiles sway you left and right. Slowly, the formula begins to work it’s magic. Without you even knowing, it’s infecting you, coursing through your veins.

And then it’s too late. Fever. Delirium. Infinite desire. Oh boy can this guy sell. It’s almost disgusting. In fact…

Yes, he really is that dangerous. With tremendous power comes tremendous responsibility. So how did this great blond fool come to wield such a deadly weapon? It was a natural thing. If Tiger Woods was made for golf, then Kern was made for marketing…

That’s the name he gave his formula. And believe me, this isn’t a joke or an overstatement. Frank has put together this system that turns ordinary people into purchase obsessed zombies.

I know the guy. I’ve seen him work. Stompernet, Annihilation Method, Pipeline profits. Millions spewing from the machine launch after launch. Gigantic influence over driven masses and sales, sales, sales…

The man has done it in dog training, internet marketing, dating and countless other industries. It ain’t no fluke.

If there was such a degree as a PHD in mind control, Frank would have 2.

I haven’t written here for a long time. I haven’t promoted a damn thing in ages. I’m disgusted for many reasons.

Not only are all products coming out cheap knock offs of something much better written by someone far more intelligent… The worst part is the crap tactics and tips that send thousands of the hopeful careening up shit creek without a paddle.

When I saw Mass Control (and yes, I saw it nearly a month ago) I wanted to cry with joy. There is stuff in there that is plain priceless. I can formerly declare that in that single course, I understood the game of marketing more clearly than ever before.

I grasped the whole launch and selling thing so achingly simple it made my ears buzz.

This is some crazy stuff and I firmly believe it’s “the WAY”.

This is where it starts. All of it. This is my first post of 2008 and I will tell you right now: if you decide to make money with this, you will, unless you have some kind of crushing disability like morbid all-encompassing laziness.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: product ownership is the way to go. Plain and simple. I can’t conceive of someone with half a brain following the plan and not doing six figures this year.

I’ve never done this before but I loved this so much, and in general I have such an obsession with marketing that I’ve decided to put my reservations aside and go for it.

I’m going to take a stake in your success this year. It fits into my personal objectives to make several disciples rich this year, and I honestly could see no better way than with the offer I will make you shortly.

Expect a post on that soon, but for now, go to Mass Control and optin. Do it right now and unhesitatingly.

Obviously, there is going to be something for sale at some point. Duh, we all know that so I won’t try to hide it. It also smells expensive and my nose is rarely mistaken. But hey, you knew that already…

The stuff being given away here has hard value. I would have paid good money to see these free videos. Don’t miss them. Better yet, don’t miss the whole process, it’s mastery in motion.

Feel free to comment on the whole thing here and let’s get that party started.  (just make sure you sign up first)

I have to say this ebook gave me mixed feelings. Let me explain why:

This is why I loved it. I was already familiar with many of the 5 tactics in the book (although 1 really caught me by surprise). These tactics are well explained and documented and I can tell you without the shadow of a doubt: they make money, more on that in a minute…

Now don’t take this the wrong way because it would be a big mistake to do so, but Project Quick Cash will NOT make you a zillion dollars.

The tactics are rock solid, but I would be surprised if you could get over $500 a day applying them. It just doesn’t scale that well. That being said, if a guaranteed extra $100 a day would make a big impact on your life, then read on…

Tactic 1: CASHING THE SPIKE 1:

This was my favorite tactic in the book. It’s a pretty obvious one when you think about it, but it caught me by surprise because even in my rather imposing experience, I have never thought to do this.

Well Project Quick Cash changed that and I immediately gave it a spin. The results were instant and they blew me away. You see, this tactic shows you how to capitalize on trends and buzz before the market has the chance to catch up.

It sounds like a good idea, but if you don’t know how to do it, you’d likely be hard up to figure it out. When I read about it in Project Quick Cash, it was demonstrated so simply I couldn’t resist trying it. I setup a campaign in about 80 minutes and banked $30 from a 4 dollar ad spend on the first day. And the same thing on the second day…

Very very easy money at over 800% ROI…

Tactic 2: CASHING THE SPIKE 2

This is a spinoff of the first method but it works by sucking traffic out of social networking sites. While the theory is valid, it certainly wouldn’t be my first choice of tactic from Project Quick Cash…

Tactic 3: INFO NICHING

This is something I used to do a lot of and that has been the first stepping stone of many success stories. It requires a little sneakiness but it really can work wonders.

In fact I remember reading that Russell Brunsson started it all doing something similar, so that gives you an idea how far this can take you. You just have to take it to the next level when the time comes…

Tactic 4: SITE TARGETING

This is an explosive and well explained way to get the cheapest traffic imaginable from Adwords. Dirt Cheap. And Dead on Target.

This is the best converting traffic out there when you do it right. It’s very well explained in Project Quick Cash and could cover the cost of your investment right there.

There is a complete ebook on the market explaining the same subject. If you’ve bought that book then you know what I’m referring to here. If you haven’t, then there is a huge gap in your traffic generation methods and you have a chance to close it here…

Tactic 5: LAUNCH LEECHING

This is one of the simplest ways to generate a big hit of cash overnight. I’ve used this tactic in the past on several occasions and it never failed to make bank.

In fact, I showed a buddy of mine some secrets from my bag of tricks and he made$3000 last week on the launch of Google Assassin using a very similar tactic to the one found in Project Quick Cash.

A simple word of warning on this: if you are unwilling to get creative at all, you will hit major competition. If you are willing to think just a smidgeon, then this is covert affiliate cash blasts at their best…

So that’s the story. If you’re making over $200 a day as a full time marketer, I doubt you will be blown away. However, if you are struggling and an extra $500 a week with little or no investment would really help right now, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see Project Quick Cash not only puts it within your grasp but practically hands it to you on a silver platter.

Check it out for yourself…

Surprisingly, Bum Marketing was recommended in one of my many email subscription newsletters, by an Internet Guru entirely unassociated with Bum Marketing. My being a writer, the methodology sounded intriguing, so I went to the main BM site and subscribed to Travis Sago’s e-newsletter.

I was in the midst of doing something else online, so reading the BM emails was slow. But after a long delay, I had heard enough to convince me to devote some time to further researching it.

Again, as a writer, BM looked appealing. But it took me a long time to be “sold” on it, which means you can do your investigation much faster…

How YOU can “quick-start” Bum Marketing, by avoiding my initial mistakes

You might know the genre from such nauseating classics as “The Death of Adsense” and “The Death of Internet Marketing”.

So when I got an email this morning from Russell Brunson for the “IM Myth”, I pulled out a fresh supply of vomit bags. In fact, I was going to spare myself the aggravation and ignore it entirely.

But then I saw a new blog post from Eric Holmlund, a marketer who’s opinion I respect.

Long story short: I read the report and put the bags away for future use, I won’t be needing them today.

No kidding, this guy has serious brains. He’s way ahead of almost all the so-called gurus.

The way he’s integrating offline tactics to his online efforts is absolutely commendable. If you want to see how he’s got thousands of people on monthly shipping programs or how he mails letters for a buck a piece that bring back over $22 each, you’ll enjoy this report.

If you want to see some downright brilliant tactics using the very latest technology (the “tear page” bit in particular), this report is for you. It’s definitely acting as a lead generator for his upcoming product “12 Month Internet Millionaire” which is basically a collection of interviews with Vincent James from the original 12 Month Millionaire….

Anyways, enough blabbing. I must say, I’m sure this short report, that’s refreshingly to the point, will impress you.

This is exactly the turn I want my business to take in the next year. If you’re serious about making the real fungolas, I think you’ll agree…

“Get a Tidal Wave of Free Targeted Traffic to Your Blog”, they trumpeted.

The only problem is that Blog Rush is an over hyped shinny turd with 3 major flaws so obvious every email I get about it makes me bow my head in disgust.

1) Ghastly Pyramid Scheme: You can’t receive traffic that doesn’t exist…

Come on, this isn’t even funny. Even a flunkee of grade school math should be able to see that Blogrush is promising more traffic than it is possible to deliver. And by a monstrous margin.

Let’s break it down in a simplified manner.

John has a blog that gets 10,000 daily impressions. He was one of the fat cat first adopters so he referred 50 people on whatever level of the pyramid. It doesn’t matter since he gets 1 impression for each impression on the blogs he referred up to 10 levels deep.

These 50 blogs he referred total 200K impressions daily.

Since the Blogrush widget displays 5 links on every impression, John can provide 50K impressions daily, but he is owed 200k.

That’s the top of the pyramid.  What of the bottom?

On the tenth level, any referral creates the need for 10 times their daily impressions.  If they get 200 daily page views, that means that each of the 9 people above in the referral chain are owed 200 impressions.

That’s 1800 impressions.  Add them to those now owed to this particular blogger and you get 2000 impressions.  Yet his 200 page views can only provide 1000 impressions.

Thus there is more traffic owed than traffic available.
Compensation for this factor either does not exist or does so at the expense of those on the bottom step of the pyramid. The system is flawed.

If it involved money instead of traffic, an as of yet unregulated resource, it would be branded a ponzi scheme and closed down by the FTC.

2) The Black Hats have Already Spoiled the Party:

As pointed out by several shadow dwellers, the system is unbelievably easy to game. All you have to do is setup a simple script on several domains and spoof impressions with random user agents, rotating proxies through TOR.

It doesn’t take many people gaming the system for hundreds of thousands of credits each to quickly throw a wrench into the already invalid system.

People are doing it already. Expect it to become a plague. You can get the code to do so right here.

People like Andy Beard have already posted to the effect that they will “filter out” blogs that have no content, or are spammy.

Since you can choose where you attribute your credits, the black hat can “earn” a million impressions using one of the scripts above and then send it to a legit blog to be monetized.

In not time, the smart bloggers will realize they are feeding spam empires with their precious blog real estate.

This won’t be easy to counter… that is, if the black hats even find it worth doing because:

3) CTR is Pathetic:

Andy Beal from Marketing Pilgrim released his stats here. Not only did he get less than 10% of the impressions he was owed, his clickthrough rate was 0.0017% (3 visitors from 1,715 impressions).

But wait a minute, Blogrush is still new. Once the ad blindness sets in, the results will be even more amazing.

In other words, you are chucking out that part of your screen real estate for peanuts. If you really want traffic for your blog, use that space to monetize. Buy some text links or traffic from somewhere else. Then it will actually be targeted and worth doing.

Use that large rectangle for an affiliate banner, datafeed, even adsense for chrisakes, or maybe a widget that actually provides a semblance of community and value like mybloglog or bumpzee.

In other words, it’s barely even worth gaming, which says a lot about the overall value of the system.

Thanks for the waste of bandwidth.

 In order:

1. Kieron’s Case Study:

3 weeks ago, Kieron registered a domain to run a quick experiment determining how easy it would be to start a niche blog from scratch. It features F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

Now he’s back with results, showing you how he’s already getting 300 unique visitors a day with a bit of unique content and ingenuity.

2. The market realizes the new iPhone is just a expensive glossy turd:

It also comes with a long, painful contract. Sales fall far short of previsions, stock takes a tumble and Apple fan boys stop high fiving each other for a couple of minutes. Whew.

3. New Blog SEO 2.0:

Funny, brief and mostly accurate. Take for instance this post about why you don’t need to read Matt Cutts’ blog. I’d like to add an eleventh reason:

Following Cutts makes you a Cuttlet. Goodbye self-esteem.

4. Truemors.com:

Guy Kawasaki’s new site is a giant wad of suck. You’d think someone with his level of experience would know better than to launch such a vile atrocity.

About as distinctive as a cheap box of chocolates on Valentine’s day.

5. Truemors for Friends:

You leverage all your contacts and reference your new project countless times in your technorati top 100 Blog. It fails harder than Michael Jordan’s baseball career and you’re still trying to beat some life into it? Learn. When. To. Move. On.

6. Spending $12,107.09 to get Truemors built:

Ok, I’m over Truemors now, I’ll never mention it again after this post.

When Guy launched it, he led an army of horn blowers touting it had only cost $12k to launch a Web 2.0 “business”.

The legal fees were just under five grand. I can think of a hundred more constructive things I would have spent that money on. The first of which: a clue.

*
*

Thought / Action of the Day:

Living in the past? Buy the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and learn how to let go.

Number of the Day:

8: number of people that think Truemors doesn’t suck. Incidentally, also the numeric value of their collective IQ.

My buddy Matt Haslem is launching his first Internet Marketing Product today (he’s a strong affiliate in other niches and has products in them too). It’s called Ninja Cloaker and what it does is allow you to make your affiliate links disappear.

You probably know 2 of the main reasons for loss of commission in affiliate marketing:

• People cut out your affiliate link because they don’t want you to make money from their purchases
• People replace your affiliate ID with their own to steal your commissions

For a long time, I was just content to know this. I didn’t do anything about it. Then I started using an affiliate link cloaker. A day later I was holding my head in my hands telling myself how stupid I was to have waited this long.

The result was immediate and conclusive. There is no doubt in my mind if you are not cloaking your affiliate links properly; you are leaving between 30 and 50% of your commissions on the table.

The other fun thing you can do with this software is cookie your visitors while sending them to any page you want. No more pesky squeeze pages or poor converting merchant pages. You can send the visitor straight to the buy button, order page, a post on your blog, whatever you like.

And if they buy, you get paid.

Most affiliate link cloakers send your visitor to a page that looks like this guruABC.com/recommends/product XYZ. That’s real subtle and all but you can do better by sending them to plain old guruABC.com. No special page, no funny characters, just pure cookie setting goodness.

Yup, that’s right.

That’s why this isn’t exactly front page news.

On the other hand, I had this little conversation with Matt yesterday and it shows why the time may be right for you to grab this offer:

Alex: $47 is pretty cheap. Why so low?

Matt: You’re gonna laugh but it’s my first Clickbank product and I have a limit on my account. I have to make some sales before bumping the price up to where I want it.

Alex: Oh. Well I guess the customers won’t complain…

So, plain and simple, the price is very low and the software is high performance stuff that will get your conversions and sales up.

If you don’t have an affiliate link cloaker, get this one now before the price goes up. If you use my link, I’ll send you a bonus when you turn in your receipt.

The Premise:

You enter a bunch of keywords in the software and it checks the ads running on the big PPC networks. It finds out if these are direct ads from merchants or affiliate ads.

After a couple of days or weeks, affiliate ads that are still running can be labeled as “probably profitable”. Using the data gathered, lazy and or smart affiliates can enter a niche or add keywords to their repertoire and have a strong chance of seeing them turn profits.

The Culprits:

There are many different pieces of software or applications that exploit this newly popularized intelligence gathering method. The latest of these has been the much hyped Google Cash Detective by surfer boy Chris Carpenter: $397 entry fee plus $97 monthly. Sold out.

The first of its type was Under Cover Profits. $300 a month. Sold out.

(Don’t be tempted to put this software in the same category as the Rich Jerk’s Keyword XRay or Xconversions. They don’t do the same thing.)

Finally, the latest newcomer on the scene is AdSpyPro by Jean-Philippe Schoeffel. It’s sold for a one time fee of only $67 and many have called it a clone of those mentioned above.

It isn’t.

That has some good and bad implications. Notably the author is not stealing anything from former developers but the software also has some handicaps.

I can’t say I don’t recommend it but it’s important to know what you’re getting when you buy this piece of software and neither the gurus nor the sales letter are giving you the full account.

First off, since I haven’t weighed in on the concept behind the software yet, here it is:

I think it can be an extremely valuable “cheat”. If you can load up hundreds of highly searched keywords and find out which affiliates are making money on which keywords, while spying on their landing pages or noting their direct links, it’s hard not to see the value.

The important thing is to not get carried away. The hype would have you believe you can just replace their ads with your own and live happily ever after.

That’s not the case, especially on the direct linking ads. The affiliates you are nuking will not go without a showdown, making it extremely likely you will dogfight your way to the upper limit of thin margins.

If you use your own landing pages, it slows down the process but the competition becomes indirect and you can inflict some real damage.

AdSpyPro: It has some issues…

The good Stuff:

• Allows you to spy on your Adwords competition
• Traces ads and how long they’ve run
• Automatically recognizes affiliate links from the 15 largest networks, including Clickbank
• Runs on proxies: does not harbor additional costs
• Price: At $67 one time, it’s not in the same ballpark as the others
• Detailed, clear instructions

The Flaws:

• Only returns ads from the first page of results
• Only automatically detects direct links and can’t read iframe or redirected affiliate links
• Runs on proxies: you have to supply them which makes research slower and less automated
• Has some minor bugs at time of launch
• Needs detailed and clear instructions (it has them) because the install process is not automatic
• You need hosting to use this software

To conclude, the verdict is not one sided.

AdSpyPro is a useful and functional piece of software. It has its limitations and might require you to read instructions to complete installation. You’ll also need to go proxy hunting.

On the other hand, it can afford you an important advantage over your peers and lessen the edge your competitors have over you if they have one of the expensive sold out kits and you are flying blind.

Check out AdSpyPro and decide for yourself.

John started monetizing his blog in September 2006 when it made a not so whopping $353. Since then, it’s sky-rocketed a more than respectable $11,700 in April 2007. The May figures are yet to be released but you can bet they will beat the previous ones as each month’s earnings have surpassed those of the past month.

While Chow has been known to be slightly evil at times, disrespecting innocent creatures and suggesting you cookie stuff your visitors; his blog can be hard to turn away from.

He may not win any popularity contests just yet but here sure is making a case as a steeple of how to make money with your blog, one of his favorite subjects.

Just yesterday, he released a free ebook that is a collection of his best money making posts accompanied by his commentary. In short it explains how to create and monetize a successful blog, something he is very much qualified to teach.

JohnChow.com is monetized to the extreme although it does a surprisingly good job of not seeming cluttered with advertising. The author uses everything from Review Me sponsored reviews to Text Link Ads, Google Adsense and Kontera.

There are also some methods that go a bit far and irritate some of his readers, such a special plugin he had created that allows you to pay a monthly fee to have “no follow” removed from your comments.

Recently, he also added a “buy me a beer if you liked this post” to each blog entry. Suggested prices for a beer is $3. This might lead you to wonder what a multi-millionaire will do with your $3.

The answer is that the site is John’s playground and the name of the game is to make as much money from it as possible, not because he needs it, but rather to prove a point, something that’s definitely been working so far.

One thing that can’t be ignored is how he came up with one of the smartest pieces of linkbait ever contrived.

Once upon a time, John noticed that the term “make money online” was getting some odd 40,000 searches monthly on Overture. Thinking it would be nice to rank for the term, he had people start reviewing his blog promising them a link back if they did things properly.

Since his blog is so heavily trafficked, he’s already had close to 800 takers, all of which have obligingly linked to him with the aforementioned term. Guess what; he now ranks #1 for one of the most desirable terms imaginable, something largely out of the league of the mere mortal…

You can play too if you want to review his blog and grab a link on his high traffic PR6 site.

And if ever he writes something that irritates of offends you, you can always give him a good kick in the butt. It made me feel a lot better…
