Three Little Mistakes That Cost
Many Internet Marketers
Thousands of Dollars--every Month!

Are you getting ripped off?

• Do your affiliate links look something like this?

  If so, you're losing money!
  
  
• Do you track your ad results? Just Adwords? How about e-zine ads? If you put a link in an e-mail to your list, do you know how many people clicked it?
  
  If not, you're losing money!
  
  
• Do you put affiliate links for products you recommend in e-books? What about when the company you recommended goes out business or changes their URL or name?
  
  You can't go out to every downloader's hard drive and update the e-book, can you? But...
  
  If not, you're losing money!
  
  
• Do you try every guru's tips for headlines, body copy, background color, etc. but don't know if they really improved sales?
  
  If not, you're losing money!
  
  
• Do you hate all the time it takes to set up and configure ad tracking in multiple systems (e.g. Google Analytics, 1ShoppingCart, plus your autoresponder). Do you say what I used to? Namely, "I'm not anal retentive enough to track all that stuff."
  
  If so, you're losing money! And quite a lot of it, too.

You may be one small change away from raking in the big bucks.

But you'll never know until you start testing.

Introducing Sales Voodoo, the testing, tracking, and affiliate link cloaking tool for the rest of us

My name is Ross Lambert, and I'm the Midnight Marketer. I don't know about you, but for me the difference between making a solid income online and losing my shirt is just a small change here or there. For example, I've tested using audio with my sales letters and doing so has always improved my bottom line.

I wouldn't have known for certain that was the case without my friend Jay Jennings' private affiliate link cloaking and tracking software, which I liked so much I finally got rights to distribute it. I call it Sales Voodoo.

*Yes, Jay and I are really friends, not just JV partners who call each other friends (which drives me crazy when I see it). I was Best Man in Jay's wedding. We've worked together on and off for nearly 20 years.

 

The Big Three Mistakes

Sales Voodoo helps you avoid these costly mistakes:

Mistake Number 1:
Using your actual affiliate link in ads.

There are several reasons this can cost you a lot of money. First, affiliate links tend to be long, and the end of the URL can get cut off or wrap to the next line. Many of your readers won't copy the URL correctly and your affiliate ID will get munged. They may still get to the web site and order--but you don't get a commission.

Here's the difference:

Raw Affiliate URL:
http://somewebsite.com/cmd.cgi?
cmd=aftrack&afid=123456&u=
sonicmemo.com

Cloaked URL: http://rossrecommends.com/go?sm

One more thing: I'm not sure why, but there are people that will deliberately remove your affiliate and product information from your published links.

They cannot do this if you cloak them with Sales Voodoo. I'm certain that if you cloak your links you will see your affiliate commissions increase!

Mistake Number 2:
Not tracking the effectiveness of your advertising.

Again, if you're like me, you try many different media. You send e-mails to your e-mail list. You run pay per click ads, probably on more than one search engine (Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Engine Marketing, most likely). Maybe you also try some pay per lead programs. You may also place classifieds in e-zines. Maybe you even buy some banner ads on some web sites.

What a pain it is to set up tracking for each ad in each media for everything you might be selling, right?

In virtually all software available today, the answer is certainly YES.

But not Sales Voodoo. Would you like to know how long it takes to configure Sales Voodoo to handle every campaign and media for a single product? This long...

0.0 seconds

How is that possible? It's possible because my buddy Jay is a very smart and very lazy guy (I mean that in a good way). :-) Jay made the server-side code for Sales Voodoo "notice" a new URL and automatically start tracking it.

So, let's say that you created a campaign in Sales Voodoo for a product called "Magic Opt-in". The URL for that campaign might be:

http://rossrecommends.com/go/moi

Let's say I've written classified ads for two e-zines. Not only do I want to see if they are doing me any good, but I also want to see which advertisement is generating more clicks.

To track my two ads, all I have to do is add an identifier to the URL that tells Sales Voodoo which is which. And I can just put it right in the ads; I don't have to even open Sales Voodoo:

Ad 1: http://rossrecommends.com/go/moi/ez1

Ad 2: http://rossrecommends.com/go/moi/ez2

As soon as anyone clicks on either ad, Sales Voodoo will track information about each click and group them by ez1 and ez2. The reports look like this:

There's a bar chart for each unique URL on a campaign (e.g. ez1, ez2, etc.).

As you might imagine from this example, you can also use Sales Voodoo to do split tests.

Split-testing is when you keep everything on your test pages the same except the one element you want to test. It is sometimes called A-B testing since you will usually be testing one thing against another.

Typical elements to split-test are: headline, price, background color, long copy versus short copy, one entire sales letter versus another, header graphic versus no header graphic, fonts, etc.

 

Mistake Number 3:
Putting affiliate links in e-books

As all marketers know, just because you give something away for free doesn't mean it can't generate income. Many top gurus give away very valuable reports, but the text contains link to both their own and other people's web sites. The latter are usuallly affiliate links.

Now imagine what can happen if your e-book goes viral and is spread around the globe and one of your links goes bad. Maybe the company sold the product and changed the URL. Or maybe they renamed the product. Or maybe you found a better product and want to replace your old link with a new one.

Since you cannot search all the hard drives of everyone who has your e-book and replace it with the new version of your PDF file, you're stuck with thousands of potential customers having faulty links.

Unless, of course, you're using Sales Voodoo.

Take a look at the Sales Voodoo campaign setup screen; it includes a "Redirects To" field:

This lets me take the the cloaked URL:

http://rossrecommends.com/go/moi

...and redirect it anywhere I want, any time I want. I can just about guarantee that if you run your e-book affiliate links through Sales Voodoo, at some point you'll be grateful for the ability to redirect that link somewhere else.

In one case I heard about, the affiliate was getting cheated out of his commissions, so he simply redirected the link to a competitor's product!

Using Sales Voodoo gives you that kind of freedom and protection, too.

Do NOT Buy a Different Cloaker/Tracker
Before You Read This!

There are other tools available that appear to do more or less the same things as Sales Voodoo, but there's a big difference once you look at the details (not to mention the price). I'm not going to "bad mouth" anyone, but before you decide on one or the other, make sure your choice does everything Sales Voodoo does.

• Sales Voodoo can work on multiple web servers - as in dozens, or even hundreds if you want. There are some products out there that restrict you to just a SINGLE site.
  
  
• Sales Voodoo doesn't require you to give the private login information to your site. That's highly confidential and nobody should be asking you for it.
  
  
• Sales Voodoo does not use unethical practices. It is for people who are building a solid business that will stand the test of time.
  
  
• Sales Voodoo doesn't require you to figure out how to create a MySQL database. You're a marketer, not a database developer, you shouldn't have to mess with stuff like that.
  
  
• Sales Voodoo is not a hosted solution. You don't need to worry about someone else's server going down when you run the software yourself--and you don't have to worry about paying a monthly fee.
  
  
• Sales Voodoo shows you tracking data using bar and line charts. Most other cloaking software doesn't even do tracking, and those that do just usually give you a bunch of numbers to look at.

A Really Special Special

As I'm sure you're aware, internet marketing products are usually priced based on the amount of money they're likely to make for you. I use Sales Voodoo so much myself (virtually every day), that I believe $197 would be a fair price--it provides that much vital information.

But you already know I'm not going to charge anywhere near that much. The question in your mind is, "How low will he go?"

Pretty darn low.

Why?

Because I know the lifetime value of a customer. You'll like this so much you'll buy more stuff from me. :-)

So here is how low I'll go: $27

But first ... our guarantee.

The Digital Provisioners Unconditional and No-Hassle Guarantee: If for any reason you are not satisfied with Sales Voodoo, we will refund your full purchase price for up to one full year. The only question we might ask is how we could have served you better (or made the product better). Your bonus e-book, Sales Copy Confidential, is yours to keep.

And a word about privacy: We hate spam as much as you do, and we do not rent or share your e-mail address with anyone.

However, as I indicated earlier, I licensed Sales Voodoo from my friend Jay. When you buy it, you will be on both my customer list as well as Jay's. That was part of the deal, and that is one reason I am able to keep the price down. Jay is one of the "good guys" (and I'm not the only one that says so, either), so you really want to be on his e-mail list, anyway.

I could inundate you with bonuses, but I honestly think this product doesn't need one. My bet is that you already have a pretty good clue about how much money it could save you--or make for you, thanks to actually knowing the return on your marketing dollars.

But I do have one really cool bonus, anyway, my brand new e-book, Sales Copy Confidential. You may already have it since I'm trying to get in the hands of the entire world. :-) But whether you do or not I'll tell you that it is the best writing I've ever done. If you can't improve the return on your sales letters after reading it, give me a call. Seriously.

So, if you want to...

1. Protect your affiliate commissions
2. Track your advertising dollars
3. Make e-book URLs dynamic
4. Improve the effectiveness of your sales letters with Sales Copy Confidential

Then click here to buy now...

I guarantee Sales Voodoo won't wind up on your shelf. This is the most extraordinarily useful piece of software I've ever owned.

Yours for family and financial freedom,
