The secret - ALMOST revealed…

shhhh.jpg>>> This is a long post. But it's important stuff, and I needed to take the time to explain it to you. Please take the time to read it completely - it's important to your business. <<<

OK, let's all take a deep breath… the rumors have been spreading like a wildfire, and it's time to calm things down before this gets COMPLETELY out of hand…

Over the last few weeks we have released three "Going Natural 2.0″ videos. From everything I've heard, people loved them… they loved the killer content and they loved the production values.

(OK, I will admit… yes, I am a bit proud of my video production skills. I mean, I've got some chops - I don't know many other Internet Marketers who have won National Emmys or who were principals in the Blair Witch Project. Yes, the videos rocked… yes, I'm proud of them.)

In any case, after we released those videos the rumors started up… people were saying we were about to re-open StomperNet. Every time I denied the rumor, it just seemed to fan the flames.

And then we released our Stomper Scrutinizer software. And instead of charging something like $300 a month for the product, we released it for free.

(If you haven't gotten your copy yet, go get it here)

Now that REALLY shook people up. People were wondering "just what are these guys up to?"

In fact, you might have been one of those folks who were wondering what was going on.

And, of course, the rumors started up again… people were saying that StomperNet was about to re-open.

Well… let me clear this up right now…


We are NOT about to re-open StomperNet. Maybe in a few months, but not now. So if you were hoping to get into Stomper… well, it ain't going to happen anytime soon. Sorry about that.

HOWEVER… we do have something coming - and it's coming very soon.

I don't want to be all secretive about this, but we're going to be releasing another Going Natural 2.0 video on Monday. This will be the best and most content-packed video yet. The script is in its final stages right now, and we'll be shooting and editing the video over the weekend…

And I think you're going to be shocked at some of the stuff we have in the video. If you thought the first three Going Natural 2.0 videos had great content… well this one is going to seriously raise the bar.

But this isn't just about "content"… it's about a fundamental shift in what's happening online. The buzzword on everyone's lips these days is "Web 2.0″.

And sometimes when you keep hearing a buzzword, you think it's just hype.

Well, there is a huge amount of hype around Social Media and Web 2.0… but don't get distracted by the hype - there's also a fundamental change taking place deep in the underbelly of Internet Marketing.

Make no mistake… search has changed. And conversion has changed. Big time.

For well more than six months, we've had our Stomper faculty studying this stuff feverishly. The amount of hours and resources that we have poured into this is simply crazy… but with such a fundamental shift happening online, there was simply no other way.

And the strategies and tactics that we uncovered (and then started using) are are working crazy-good.

Do you want instant search engine rankings?

Check. Within hours, in fact.

More natural high-converting traffic?

Check. Monster traffic.

How about multiple Google rankings?

Check. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it.

How about a higher conversion rate?

Check. The phrase "Holy Grail" keeps running through my head.

I could go on and on - but that's what we are going to show you in our next video, so I don't want to spill all the beans…

Like I said, the video is going to shake people up. And it's not going to just be a bunch of "what to do"… we're going to show you HOW we do it.

But let's get back to those rumors…

This is the bottom line… we are going to be releasing a Coaching Program very soon.

As you probably know, we've never done anything like this. Our business has been running a very high-end training portal for Internet Marketers: StomperNet.

And frankly, the price for StomperNet has meant some people just couldn't afford it. That doesn't make me happy, but when we decided to go with the best faculty that my dollars could buy, it meant we had to price it at the higher end of the spectrum.

But this change we are seeing right now is so big and the opportunities are so huge, that we decided that we had to do something different.

So we went back to the drawing board - and we decided that if StomperNet was sorta like going to Graduate School to get a real-world MBA, then we needed something more focused (and lower-priced) that would be like taking a single very focused high-level university course.

"Stomper University" if you will. I like the sound of that. :-)

And THAT is what we're going to be releasing very soon… like next week.

Of course, like any class, this Coaching Program is going to have to be limited in size. That's the only way we can insure that we maintain our Stomper quality.

And since this is the first time anyone is going to get a peek behind the curtain at a super-focused Stomper Coaching Program (especially without the normal Stomper sticker price), I imagine the demand will be pretty intense.

But we'll have more time to talk about that later… I'm working on contingency plans and I'm hoping we can meet the demand.

In the meantime, watch for our next Going Natural 2.0 video that we are releasing on Monday. This isn't some "pre-launch hype" video. You have already seen in our last three videos that we are all about delivering serious, meaty content. This video is going to be the best yet.

That's it for now… if you have any questions or comments (or if you just want to watch everyone else's reaction), then go to our blog now and join the conversation.

Best regards,
Andy

P.S. If you want to see ALL the Going Natural 2.0 videos in one place, we set up a an "uber video page" for you.

P.P.S I'm going to be personally watching the comments on our blog, so if you have a comment or question for me, that's the best place to get my attention.

    Hey Andy,

    I am brand knew to Stompernet. I heard about you guys from worldwide brands. I have been watching some of your GN 2.0 videos and they are AWESOME! My question is - Since I'm so new to all this I wanted to check out any and all of the past videos you have released and I was wondering where could I go to find all of your videos that you have put out? Can you help? Thanks!

    Hey, Andy ~

    Firstly, I appreciate the clear, unambiguous way in which you communicate to us "underlings" via your email messages. As a long-time studnet of communications (both formally and informally)…KUDOS on that!

    Question: to what degree will this new "Stomper University" -and your other services, for that matter- benefit "info-preneurs" like me…folks who don't actually have a literal e-commerce site?

    Thank you for working so hard for the "little guy!"

    Carlos

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - Underlings? Heh. We have a different name for people like you Carlos - we call them Peers. To your question - yes sir - Traffic and Conversion are NOT Business Model Specific - meaning, what works to get an eCommerce Store Traffic, Rankings, Conversion, etc, will WORK just as well for an Info-preneur such as yourself. Of course, the messaging is different on the front end and back end, but the bottom line is, a top SERP or High Conversion is going to enhance any business type. Hey - thanks for the props!)

    Hey,

    I'm looking forward to the new video as well as the coaching session you've just been talking about.

    Yeah, I've noticed some changes on the net, especially Google has I believe has filtered out a lot more spam pages, which BTW didn't affect my rankings.

  9. Posted January 4, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    Looking forward to the next video. You seem to have so much fun doing this and it is fun to watch you doing it.

  11. Posted January 4, 2008 at 2:06 pm

    I don't understand half this stuff but I know if I keep watching the videos some of it will sink in and help me out on sales on Ebay. I've been selling on Ebay as Satinlady Enterprises for several years and frankly its not even coming close to paying the bills so a little extra traffic my way sure couldn't hurt. Thanks all, eventually I'll "get it".

    Wow. You're good at building hype huh. Any clue on how much it may be? I'm a college student, and hopefully soon going to 2 Universities :P Hopefully I can afford it! After all, you did say it's "lower-priced."

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - Anyone named Andrew has got to be cool…. :o) There's going to be several options Andrew, in terms of payment, etc. MOST people should be able to afford it with no problems at all. Good luck in School! )

  14. Posted January 4, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    Awesome!

    Not that I need to join because I've been enrolled in StomperNet since day 1, but I can tell you, these guys are incredible. I really have gotten my Internet Marketing MBA, and have made incredible progress for my employer's business and my own.

    Anyone who doesn't take advantage of this opportunity has to be a loon.

    Plus, the Stomper crew is fun. It's not boring to learn all this incredibly useful information.

    What's better than making money and having a great time doing it?

    The Stomper guys make that real.

And, the best part is that you are willing to share this knowledge! Worth every penny! Thanks Andy, Brad and gang!

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - Dave, it's HARD, expensive, time consuming… It's also extraordinarily fulfilling, profitable, FUN, and being there trying to do what we do helps me sleep at night. Thanks for asking - we don't get that question very much from people that are not our members)

  19. Posted January 4, 2008 at 4:28 pm

    Hello Andy,

    I was a school teacher. I currently teach my own unique golf instruction program. Word of mouth brought me most of my golf students. The feedback has always been the same - not what I know but how well I present what I know.

    That gives the background for me giving you feedback about the recent videos. It doesn't get any better than the way you deliver awesome new content. I encourage anyone who reads this to feel good about the Stomper teachers and then to encourage others to strongly consider you guys and gals as the benchmark of great teaching.

    Again, it is not how much you know but rather how well you impart to others what you do know.

    Hi Andy and the GN 2.0 crew,

    OUTSTANDING job on the videos! The content in these videos are by far the most original and best I have ever seen. I myself do not have an e-Commerce site yet but I will have before year end. I have been looking at just about every opportunity on the net for last 4 or 5 years now and spent a few $$$ on some info from the so called gurus and none of the info wholes a candle stick to the free content you have provided us. Again thanks to you and the GN 2.0 Crew; I can’t wait until Monday.

    John

  21. Posted January 4, 2008 at 4:43 pm

    this is great stuff and cant wait for more videos , and a chance to learn more as i am somewhat new to this but your info is a big help ,,thanks

  22. Posted January 4, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    Great professional videos - you have come a long way! Looking forward to all the new videos.

    Why "nofollow" on the comment name links - trying to spoil our fun!

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - GRRRR…. That should be - we like giving link love. I just asked one of our Developers to switch off NoFollow on the comments. She'll probably get to it tomorrow. BTW, it's good to see that you're paying attention to that Howard.)

    Hi Andy,
    I already emailed some comments to you.
    This is to say that I put some tips into my website which was already good, but now its not as cluttered and I got some good comments that its clean and fresh, someone was asking for website tips and I gave them some tips, didnt tell them it was from stompernet, they were delighted with the tips, the videos you did with animation was brilliant and easily explained everything, genius.

    I am very hard to impress with all the baloney floating round and the rip off merchants, a bug thumbs up, oh and as you were saying some of us could not afford Stompernet and you are coming out with something more reasonable.

    I am sick of so called Gurus and just plain greed of some people and people who are useless when it comes to helping out, its a credit to you`s at Stompernet helping people like that, I awlays try to help others so will be doing them a better service now I seen whats in the videos, cant wait for the next one, exciting stuff

  26. Posted January 4, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    Andy, the Stompernet videos are very useful, even if they are a little 'fun', but can you tell me if these techniques are geared towards Google only, or are other things needed to help results in other search engines? Also, a little off topic, but any advice you can give about the open directory project, i.e. what makes a site a 'quality' site, that would be great.

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - The videos are Google Centric, to be sure, but the overall fundamentals will work across all 3 of the big Search Engines. In terms of DMOZ, the Editors are the one's the determine what a quality site is, and since it's not peer review, like wikipedia is, there's not a lot you can do except try your best - and no one knows what that is. So, don't beat yourself if you can't crack their code)

  27. Posted January 4, 2008 at 6:37 pm

    Hey Andy and Ed and Sherman and whoever else is involved these days at the Stompin' HQ….

    I LOVE the new videos…. somebody has too much time on his hands or a big product launch coming…!

    I am a Stomper Simple grad who loves the attention to detail and out-of-the-box thinking you guys put out there.
    I look forward to the next phase of Stomper Education that comes out of Stomper U.

    Your no-fluff, just get going approach is what a lot of people need to break out and get started….

    I worry, though, that if you keep providing high-value, action-oriented content and programs, the competition out there will get a lot tougher!

  28. Posted January 4, 2008 at 7:57 pm

    Hello Andy and Team,
    I just recently found you guys and I'm so very pleased to have done so. I'm a relative newbie to computers in general–got my first one about 8 years ago at age 50+ which makes learning anything technical a true challenge.
    Then I had a website built for me–it's a really pretty website but of course I didn't know a thing about marketing. So, I followed the regular newbie trail, you know the one "buy my $27.00 e-book and I'll make you $1M in 30 days:>)"–then I graduated to the more costly items. I was a copy-writers dream! But, I finally met some good folks, while I could still feed the dogs (barely) and then I found Stompernet through my "new" teacher/friends.
    I'm just really happy to have found you and grateful that you're not having me sell a kidney to get your stuff. So, from the depth of my Being–thank you.
    I sure look forward to the new stuff.
    Sandi

    You should be proud of your video production skills…….the videos are amazing and entertaining. And the content isn't too shabby either! I have paid good money for less information. Can't wait to see the next one.

  31. Posted January 4, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    Hi Andy

    Been watching the whole series

    Wonderfull content and great delivery.
    You sure have a knack to make these videos not just full of great ideas but entertaining right to the end.

    I think you deserve an Oscar!

    Take care

    Hi Andy,

    I've been eager to join Stompernet since its very first launch.
    But unfortunately, I couldn't afford it.
    So, I'm very interested in "Stomper University".

    May I participate in it though I'm a Japanese living in Japan?

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - We have members from 54 countries inside of StomperNet, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't participate in StomperUniversity. We have lots of members from Japan already)

  33. Posted January 4, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    I absolutely LOVE the last two videos…I'm still implementing your suggestions on my website and can't wait to see what you have to offer next!

    Thanks Andi and Team…YOU ROCK!!!

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - Jennifer - thanks bunches for the kind words. While I was waiting for the latest video to upload for Monday's release, I took a look at your site - couple of suggestions: Loose the bubble background, it actually throws off too many foot candles of brightness and will cause eye strain. Make your links BLUE underlined, not red. Move your trust Icons (Visa, MasterCard) higher on your page - and add at least one more row of product images in your center column.)

  34. Posted January 4, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    Hey Andy,

    Love the 2.0 videos and been following some of the faculty members programmes too. Be great to see the next video on Monday and kinda funny how we'll all be learning at the 'Stomper University' - kinda cool I think :-)

  35. Posted January 4, 2008 at 9:26 pm

    Hi Guys
    On my connection your videos are slow to load but once loaded I have to say the content is brilliant. What I do now is to leave it on a tab loading while I am doing something else then as soon as it is complete I go back to it with the play button.
    I can see that a lot of work must go into the production of this stuff.
    I learnt an awful lot on the duplicate content video and I'll watch it a few more times before taking action.
    Many thanks…Looking forward to the next one
    Regards
    Chris

    Hey Again Andy,

    Thanks for the reply, and I must agree with you that anyone named Andrew has to be cool :P

    Well, I wanted to contact you personally regarding your site, but couldn't find your email anywhere… so I guess I'll just post here?
    …..

    I was looking at your site http://www.a2armory.com mentioned in the first video of GoingNatural 2.0, and I'd like to offer a suggestion. Although I am currently a newbie Internet Marketer (just started a month ago), I have had experience with web design and creation.

    When I first visited your site, I looked to see if I could click the large images in the middle of the page that represent different sections of your site, but when i couldn't it took me a couple seconds to realize that the link is actually below the image. Now, I'm just guessing here, and of course you are the expert, but maybe you are loosing visitors because of that small aspect. I think if you were to make the images themselves actual links, you will have a slight (or maybe massive) decrease in bounce rate and in turn increase your sales. If I may give you some sample code…

    -Medieval
    -Excalibur
    -Gladius
     

    Because your image is actually a background image of a table cell, you can't technically make it a link, but you do have some text within that cell that you can turn into links. If you don't want to make them look like links you can always edit it using styles and get rid of the underline, which I've already done for you above. You may have to adjust the width and height of the link block, but this is the basic code. It will make it so that when people mouseover the image, it's a link they can click. Instead of waisting valuable time finding where the heck the link is to that section.

    Hope this helps your site and conversions!

    By the way, you're videos on StomperNet are incredible. I have not missed one, and the content is literally priceless!

    Thank You,
    Andrew Kuo

    P.S. If Andy Edmonds tells you someone named Andrew emailed him about this, but meant to email you… that was me :D haha

  37. Posted January 4, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    Hi Andy,

    Your e-mail/sales pitch sounds great.

    I have a question: what will be the difference in intrinsic value between the high-price StomperNet membership, and the lower ticket Stomper University? If you "spill the beans" at Stomper University, what will be the benefits of staying on the StomperNet member roster?
    Best,
    phil
    PS– I noticed Scrutinizer does not work with Flash site. Is that something you intend to modify in the future?

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - All good questions Phil. First things first - Scrutinizer DOES work on Flash sites - it's actually a limitation with Adobe Air - we're investigating a work-around for the next service update.

    To your next question — StomperUniversity products are "Classes" in the truest sense. They are limited in scope (We go deeply into a specific topic), they are limited in time (6-10 weeks), and any and all of the supporting material is specific to that topic. In the example of SMARTS, it will "Spill the beans" in a profound way, about Social Marketing - which is one very important aspect among dozens of disciplines that you need to know to be hyper-successful.

    One purpose is to make specific, but limited parts of StomperNet available at a lower cost for a shorter time. As a business owner, I'd like to think that if people use our educational materials, even in a limited way, they'll be able to afford StomperNet easier.

    StomperNET, on the other hand is a total solution for eBusiness - the topics are vast, including all of our core competencies, as well as guest professors that create related content (for instance, Sydney Johnston created a 20 Video eBay course because our members wanted on). There is a vast array of supporting material - Personal One-on-One Coaching, 5 Faculty Office Hours Calls per week, SCORE, our Article Syndication Software, StomperPro Services, which are a la cart services (like Article Writing, Link Building, Web Site Design, Store Set Up, Blogging, etc.) available only to Members, Live Seminars, Topic and Media Specific Forums, Living Wikipedia, Reference Documents, Classified Ads…

    There's a LOT. And 9 Faculty Members, Yadda Yadda Yadda. And of course, any StomperUniversity product is ALSO a part of StomperNET, at no charge. And that's in addition to the 500 or so videos, documents, audios, etc. that already exist.

    Hope that answers your question.)

  38. Posted January 4, 2008 at 11:41 pm

    Hey Andy'
    Yes, it is me …the one with my nose pressed against the window of Stompernet wishing I could afford your professional information. I was so excited to see what you have done with the latest 2.0 videos and I went right to work on my site. As always you are the greatest …I achieved 2 listing to my surprise.

    Now to know I might be able to afford just a small portion of your information is more than I could hope.

    I believe if you could train people like us to get to the first level …we would have no problem jumping into the big dollars for the MBA of internet marketing online ….Stompernet!

    As always …thank you for sharing what you have and I am looking forward to to being any part of your success training.

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - Gloria Jean - you might be very surprised how affordable one of the options for SMARTS is.)

    Andy,

    Thank you for the great videos. I have watched and or downloaded all of the Stomper Vids that I can find…btw, will you ever post the Going Natural 1.0 videos again anywhere? I found one titled How I went from $0 to $16000 in 3 months Part 1 and then later found part 2 on Vidilife but I can NOT download Part 2 off of Vidilife to save my life! Please help!

    I started putting myself through "Internet Marketing School" approx 8 weeks ago (I have been do nothing but learning full time since then) and will be chronicling the launch of my first website from start to finish later this month.

    I am fortunate in that, unlike others I did not buy a bunch of nonsense training but instead stumbled onto Ken McCarthy and The System Seminar completely by accident. (this was my very first exposure to any serious internet training) Ken led me to you and Brad…I decided to purchase Ken's Physical Products course (which took me an entire week to go through the first time cause I was so busy taking notes, stopping, re-watching, etc) I bought Perry Marshall's book, SEO Elite & Keyword Elite, joined Wordtracker & World Wide Brands, downloaded the Stomper Scrutinizer and will next join Stomper University and then finally StomperNet when it is open again.

    Anyway, thanks so much for all that you are doing for me. My life has changed immensely already because my thinking has changed so profoundly (thanks in very large part to you and Brad)…now the fun begins when I launch the first of many sites.

    Keep up the good work! I am looking forward to Monday and already have my credit card in hand!

I am an old guy that is not easily impressed but I have to say that if the sonic boom of change doesn't kill us and my old head doesn't explode with all of this new stuff, we feel you guys, like Ed, Britt and Chris are the real thing so we are casting our lot and our limited resources with Stompernet.
    My only suggestion is that you develop a partnership with Gorilla Grip to help us hold on.
    All kidding aside I value the opportunity to be involved with my son and thru you guys he is teaching me some exciting stuff. And who knows we may even make some money for my granddaughters education.
    Thanks, NEIL

    Hello Andy and the rest of the Stompernet Crew,

    Well, what can I say but AWESOME! I have not finished viewing the complete video but from what I have seen, this is scientific genius at it's best! I never heard of StomperNet, but I am willing and waiting to take the plunge and sign up for this membership whatever the cost!

    I am a newbie, have a few websites built, but
    I have yet to receive the minimum payout from the various affiliate programs which I have joined yet! This website and program is definitely the answer for me. I am so glad I received the link to your website from one of numerous emails I receive daily. Sometimes it DOES pay to join email lists.

    I am going to read your blog about Stomper Simple, and read everything I know about this awesome technology. I can't wait for Monday and the re-opening of this great course.

    The creators of Stomper Net ROCKS!

  44. Posted January 5, 2008 at 11:04 am

    Hey Andy,
    I saw all of your videos and they are very good and quality for me. i want to ask if there will be more videos on how to use the Stomper Scrutinizer software?
    thank you.

    (Reply from Andy Jenkins - Amir, there are 10 short "How to Use StomperScrutinizer" videos planned - Andy Edmonds released one of them this weekend internally and it will be made public later this week)

    Hi Andy,
    Thanks so much for the videos, they are terrific and very helpful! I am discouraged with the constant changes in SEO but you are one of very few folks I trust with the teachings as there is so much misguided info out there. Looking forward to the next videos.

    Thanks a million.

    Thanks Andy for mentioning StomperSimple coming online in Feb. I'm a newbie and need baby steps. I'm anxious for StomperSimple to start, meanwhile I'll try to absorb as much as possible of the high-powered info. You and the Staff are doing a Great Job!

  48. Posted January 5, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    The Going Natural videos were amazing. So much we didn't know about duplicate content, how to get double listings in Google… but especially, how the eye jumps around the web page… the incredible Scrutinizer software.

    This will be of great help as we design the page content and internal linking structures of our new website. After all, the incredible and painstaking work we've done on product (how-to help for caregivers and home health care products) will not do ANYONE any good if we don't get capture the eye of the visitors and get the conversions!

    Thanks for caring and sharing!

    Hi Andy and the team,

    I was lucky enough to receive an email from StomperNet back in July telling me of the 30 Day Challenge (which I loved!) Didn't make any money (and still haven't) but learned heaps from people with integrity (rare these days unfortunately).

    The videos are absolute eye-openers for me (in terms of learning) and your honesty and integrity shine through in all of them.

    I'll no doubt have to cancel all my other memberships to join StomperU but if it's anything like the 30DC, we'll all be in for a wonderful learning curve with an extra dash of fun thrown in.

    This is all completely new for me, when I resigned from a very stressful job in June I didn't know what I'd do with my time. I soon found out - I spend about 10 hours daily learning about this fascinating subject! And I've still barely scratched the surface!

    Thanks again for everything and may you and yours have the best year yet.

    Kathy

  52. Posted January 6, 2008 at 1:47 pm

    Thank you, Andy for the Going Natural 2.0 videos. I have been struggling for over a year now to figure out just how and what and when to design my website for ecommerce. Oh, I have a couple of designed-by-others sites that, so far, have brought me nothing. I also note that I cannot make list building pages on these sites. I also am doing my niche research and selling off some stuff on eBay to generate the cash I will need to finally get set up correctly —- read profitably with more than one income stream. I'm an old grandma of 66 who wants more than social security for a paycheck and now I am old enough to earn as much as I want without destroying that barely basic base income. Your how to, hands on, fun videos are beginning to make the pieces fit together for me and showing me another way to optimize my earnings and sites as I build them. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peace and Love to you and yours — Ellen

    Hello,

    I downloaded Scrutinizer, both ver 1 and 2, and installed it on my computer. After I installed each version I opened the Scrutinizer program and do not understand how the program works. I.E. what it should do or how I can interface with it. I might add, I have been marketing on the net since 2002 using Yahoo Stores and have taken sales in one store from $19,000 a month to a record $228,000 in Dec 2007. In many ways thanks to your advice this has been possible. With this in mind, I do not consider myself to be stupid and would love to understand how to use Scrutinizer if you have the time to respond. Many Thanks for a great program, Dominic SendaCowChip@yahoo.com

  55. Posted January 6, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    Hi Andy…
    Just started watching the going natural videos and find that it certainly seems "simple" enough :-)

    I have been working on my site for over 2 years and not having nearly the fun or the success that I hoped for. I keep hoping that I get some answers here.

    Looking forward to more tips and seeing what the mentoring program is going to look like.

    Happy new year to you all.

    Hi Andy and the gang, I've watched your videos and they're simply amazing :) I want to work for you guys-hehe ;) I've been slowly but surely implementing some of the stuff in your videos and have already seen the double listings, increased rankings… etc — still need to work on creating longer descriptions and avoiding duplicate content. if I didn't have a full time job — I'd be able to do this a lot quicker :) But Thanks again, it's REALLY appreciated!

    Hello Andy and stomper.

    Love your site and contents.

    I'm very excited about your stomper university program, but how are you going to select your participants? Let's say 200 signed up for your 45 spots, who are you going to pick?

    Is it First Come First Serve? Or via bribes? And what's your private swiss account where I can send some?

    All kidding aside, will you be releasing a reservations area for the signup Andy?

    I REALLY enjoyed your site, and signed up for more. There is so much information, that I wish there was a way to back track to hear & see the examples again. I had to save it (which I wanted to) just so I can see it again and again. Some experts suggest that we not get caught up in the "technical stuff". but because of your site I see how much of a factor it plays. I am a neewbie, looking for all the newest, greatest types, but this is the first site that really brings some "mythbuster" ideas into play.
    They are easy to understand (while I will have to watch them again and again) but it really makes sense to me. It seems that you have taken it to a whole different science.
    I will be using a lot of the things I learned from you as I work to develop my own business. If I have learned nothing else in the last few days is that they are many marketers (experts) to teach the ropes, but many teach the same thing. I TRUELT enjoyed seeing something different, scientific, fun, and easy to understand.
    Do you have an affiliate program??
    Like I said I am a newbee, but need to make money fast. My friend and I work together to find and evaluate different programs, and I enjoy the difference you have offered.

    Why leave things out? For those who are new and don't know a lot, any detail that it might be obvious for others, it can be a mind opener for us.

    (I should speak for my self actually, but I don't want to feel alone…)

    Posted StomperNet info on my Blog
    I'm thinking that the big video is yet to come. Its Monday 1030 est now. I posted the video about conversions Early Monday morning.

    What about an Affiliate Program?
    Hoping this will be available in some form, want to tell others about this program.

    Top 10 in Google, Non-existant In Yahoo.

    I've been enjoying all the great SEO video's including the GN2, but here's a perplexing scenario for me:

    My site is ranking in the 1'st page of Google for very competitive keywords: "fashion jewelry", "costume jewelry", etc. but completely off the chart in Yahoo and MSN for those main keywords, what's the beef with the 2 other SE's?

    1. They can actually UNDERSTAND what you are talking about because you are using video, audio and several learning styles, plus kinetics because they have to actually go and download and experience the software.

    2. If that is free, bring on the paid content!

    GREAT! That's all I can say. Thank you for releasing this tool to the public and I look forward to your course.

    I can say from personal experience that Scribd.com, one of the websites Don talked about in the video can be very effective in driving traffic to your website if you take advantage of its many features and use it properly. Its traffic analytics feature is incredible.

    Don, great video!

    I love the videos and attitude.
    Here's a true story:
    After the first video I checked and to my delight and surprise I had #2 position with double indentions on the first page of google for 3 of my clients keywords! And that was almost by accident. Now I am zeroing in for the bigger traffic words.

Well, that was the case. I am now listening to your video and it is very informative.

    First, let me say that of all the training out on the net, your's is head and shoulders above the competition, even those who have very prominent reputations on the net. I have been a marketing consultant for 40 years. I have developed numerous companies from an idea to national or international status: Companies like BlockBuster Video, ERA Real Estate, Fantastic Sam's Family Haircutters, Jiffy Lube, Popeye's Fried Chicken and many more. Most of these were started with few dollars but lots of enthusism and a strong belief we could impact an entire industry. The same spirit that was present with every one of the clients is expressed on the professional and to the point methodology you have adopted. You cannot help but be successful and I am greatful I have had the opportunity to witness this first-hand. I am certain, you too will attain the level of "household words" as have my clients. Thank you, for your exhuberance, your talents, and the knowledge you are imparting to all those who are open to these new ideas. Keep up the good work! Best regards, John Mauldin
