Internet Marketers Cave http://www.imcave.com The Underground World of IM With Reviews and Resources Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:13:50 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Google’s New Privacy Policy http://www.imcave.com/googles-new-privacy-policy/ http://www.imcave.com/googles-new-privacy-policy/#comments Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:16:58 +0000 Admin http://www.imcave.com/?p=684 So with all the talk about the new privacy policy from Google, I decided to check it out and what I found out was quite frightening.  Let me paste just a few small sections of the policy below for you to read..

  • Log information

    When you use our services or view content provided by Google, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This may include:

    • details of how you used our service, such as your search queries.
    • telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls.
    • Internet protocol address.
    • device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL.
    • cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Google Account.

Now I’m not a lawyer, but this seems pretty self explanitory.  Read this next one..

  • Location information

    When you use a location-enabled Google service, we may collect and process information about your actual location, like GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We may also use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may, for example, provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers.

And one more I though I would share with you..

  • Local storage

    We may collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5) and application data caches.

So there have it.. if you want to read the whole policy, you can check it out at http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

If you’re really concerned about this, here are a few things I recommend.

  1. Unless you’re using a Google service such as Gmail.. don’t sign in to your account, especially when surfing the Internet.
  2. Don’t share ANYTHING on your Google accounts you don’t want anyone else knowing about.
  3. Unless you absolutely need it, don’t use your GPS feature on your phone.. turn it off.

Remember, these are just a few recommendations that I see that may help keep your information more private.  I am not a lawyer, so please don’t ask me specific questions regarding their policy.

What are your thoughts about this?

How NOT To Treat Your Clickbank Customers http://www.imcave.com/how-not-to-treat-your-clickbank-customers/ http://www.imcave.com/how-not-to-treat-your-clickbank-customers/#comments Fri, 02 Mar 2012 19:06:53 +0000 Admin http://www.imcave.com/?p=673 I am sure there is not one of us who has not asked for a refund for a product we purchased through Clickbank simply because it wasn’t quite what we wanted or it was just a crappy product.  In my case, it didn’t have a few features I was wanting.

The other day, I asked for a refund for a product and was shocked at the response I got from the vendor.  I won’t be naming any names or the product, but here’s what happened.

I was searching for a product to help me with videos (to put it easy).  After my purchase, I found out the product didn’t have some features that another product did have and was very important to my online business.  So I bought the other product and requested I get a refund on my first product.

Here’s how the conversation went.. 

I decided to go with ——– as it —— and offers the option to —- and ——— please refund.  Thanks.. it’s a great product, just doesn’t quite offer the features I was needing.

Here was the vendors reply…

Chris, you love getting free products by asking for refunds.

Can you believe that?  Don’t get me wrong.. I understand there is a big issue with people buying things on Clickbank then asking for a refund.  This has been going on for a very long time.  But I wonder.. does this vendor talk this way to all his customers?  What would happen if Wal-Mart done that?

I was not upset at what he said, but I WAS upset because he treated a customer this way!  I have several products on Clickbank and have NEVER said anything like that to them if they purchased and asked for a refund as I know it’s part of the business you have to deal with.  If nothing else, use some kind of a license script so the tool can be deactivated after the refund.

Ok, so here was my reply..

If that was the case, I would not have bought your —— either! If that’s your thoughts towards your customers, then you won’t be seeing anymore purchases from me..

Have you never returned anything because you found something that fit your needs better?

I’m a full time affiliate marketer and have promoted your products to my list and my website visitors, but saying what you did was VERY offensive.. I had uninstalled your plugin before I even requested a refund!

Making assumptions and saying things like that will get you a really bad name in this business.. I know.. I’ve been in it since 2000.

Please refund my money.. and don’t expect anymore hops from me..

I know.. maybe a little harsh.  What really got me was I had just purchased a product from this vendor like a week before this one.. so I guess you could say that I was a repeat customer.  I don’t know about you, but a repeat customer is EXTREMELY valuable to most vendors.  I RARELY ask for refunds and when I did and got that response, I had to let him know exactly how I felt.. :)

So here is how he replied back..

Chris, spare me the drama.

If you have been around for so long, and promoting my stuff, etc, then why are you using Clickbank as a support desk, when you bloody know where my support desk is.

No, I do not refund a product that works according to the salespage. A say it like it is. You are only upset because I saw what you are up to.

I really don’t care if you promote any of my products any more. I actually prefer that you do not. You know how to refund with cb, as in your own words, you’ve been around since 2000. Just get a refund, and enjoy the free product that was my labour.

I don’t know.. maybe he was just having a bad day, I just know that I would NEVER treat one of my customers this way, especially one that has previously bought and would have probably bought more future products.

Here’s how I ended the conversation..

I am not upset, but I don’t understand why you are so upset with me.  I rarely ask for refunds for products I buy which is why I HAVE NOT requested a refund for ———. It’s one of the best ——- plugins I have used and the graphics are amazing.

Even though I uninstalled ——- and am now using ——–, I will keep your product and NOT ask for a refund.  I just hope that in the future, you don’t treat other customers as you have me.

So, here’s the moral of this conversation.  If you want to lose repeat customers, follow the example this vendor laid out.  

Please let me know your thoughts below..

YouTube Account Got Terminated http://www.imcave.com/youtube-account-got-terminated/ http://www.imcave.com/youtube-account-got-terminated/#comments Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:34:16 +0000 Admin http://www.imcave.com/?p=667 It’s a shame when marketers can’t beat you, they have to find other ways to get you out of the picture.  I tried to sign into my YouTube account today and found it was terminated due to violating their policy of scams and spam..umm yea.

Basically what happened is there are certain marketers who get really jealous if they can’t beat your YouTube search rankings.. so instead, they flag your video on YouTube.  Once flagged, your video gets removed.. just like that!  I know for sure.. because a while back I ran across a video on Youtube that was VERY scammy and I flagged it.  In less than  a minute, the video was removed!!  

It’s crazy to think someone can destroy your YouTube channel that easily.

So what’s next?  Well, I will build a new YouTube channel and start again.  Here’s the thing.. with Internet Marketing, especially with “make money” type products there is HEAVY competition due to the amount of money you can make and people will try to do whatever they can to get your site or video out of the picture so they get the commissions for sales and not you.  So if you plan on playing in this territory, plan on things like this happening.. but DON’T let it stop you from moving on.

You have to be aggressive as you would with any business.  Just clear your mind and start again.. think of it this way:  The more times you repeat a process, the better you get at it each time!

My Thoughts On “Auto” Software http://www.imcave.com/my-thoughts-on-auto-software/ http://www.imcave.com/my-thoughts-on-auto-software/#comments Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:58:58 +0000 Admin http://www.imcave.com/?p=622 There has been a lot of recent products based on “auto” style software.  We’ve heard of terms like “autopilot”, “autoblogging” and “auto content” and today, it seems like that word has been changed to mean something other than it used to.  

For example.. I consider software like WPRobot to be an “auto” style software.  It’s a plugin that automatically fetches content on the Internet and automatically posts it to your blog posts.  This is autopilot.. it’s all done automatically. The problem with this is.. sites like these tend to get less attention from the webmaster also lacking in unique content and backlinks.  This is why when you normally see these types of products, they recommend you build mass websites even several hundred so you can get a decent income.

My thoughts are this.. why make hundreds of sites  that WILL drop from search rankings pretty quick just to make some short time income?  Why not focus on one niche blog and build it, to become an authority site where people can go to and find REAL information that will ultimately result in happy and loyal returning customers.  It’s these loyal visitors that trust you and what you say which can lead to an astounding income!  Isn’t it true that you would rather buy from someone you believe has a sincere interest in you and the topic?

I recommend to stay away from “auto” type software and tools.  These rarely end up serving a long term income but can rather cost you heavily.  Focus on one topic, build one blog, be an authority webmaster that your visitors can trust and you will see amazing things happen.

SEO Link Monster http://www.imcave.com/slm/ http://www.imcave.com/slm/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:04:02 +0000 Admin http://www.imcave.com/?p=549 Product: SEO Link Monster

Price: $47 first month then $147 every month after

Official Site: http://www.seolinkmonster.com

Bonus Offer: Scroll Down

So the question is, “Is SEO Link Monster worth $147 a month?”  

Honestly, I think it’s overpriced.  I would pay $97 a month, but $147 I feel is a little too much considering the majority of your backlink are coming from PR NA, 0, 1 and 2.  I use a service that is more affordable (depending on how many projects you have) and most of my links are on blogs that have a PR of 2 – 4 and even some 5′s!

BUT, the advantage with SEO Link Monster is that you can submit as many articles are you want and it’s very easy to do as you saw in the video.. or you can watch it below.

Visit The Official SEO Link Monster Website – Click Here

About the bonus.. I do a LOT of backlinking and I have used just about every service and software out there.  There are 2 I use that many marketers don’t know even exists and I’m willing to share them with you along with training on how to use them effectively to dominate your competitors in search rankings.

To grab this bonus, you will need to puchase your subscription to SEO Link Monster through a link on this page.  Then send me your receipt number to bonus @ imcave.com (remove the spaces) and I will send you the video training link.
