Easy Blog Traffic

Recently I made a $7 purchase of "Easy Blog Traffic" and it included the resale rights. However, I don't recommend you get this product and here's why:



  • The product is written for WordPress bloggers so if you are using Blogger.com or any other blog service or software, most of the recommended plug-in won't work for you.

  • The author highly recommends WordPress as the best blogging software (this may be true, I don't know) but has not kept current on the new features of any of the other blog services available. With the new version of Blogger, many of the features that did not work before, now do.

  • The author freely admits that installing and using WordPress is not the easiest thing to do and even gave up trying for awhile. I guess he finally went back and tried again because he now points to his blog at: http://www.whoisandrewwee.com/. While his blog shows a good page rank, I am sorry to say that I found it too difficult to read to be of any value.

  • All 6 ebooks contained in this package continually promote both his and another fellow blogger's products along with some recommended resources (affiliate links of course). After seeing his blog I wasn't convinced that any of his other products or recommendations were of much value.

  • While he states several times that blogs on Blogger won't draw much traffic, he uses this blog to show the value of having a lot of traffic to make money selling advertising space:

  • 1 of the ebooks is a PDF version of Louis Allports Blog Traffic video ebook. While there is some good information in these videos, at least half of it will be of no use to the average blogger.

  • The ebook "Blog Profit Machine" states that it has "The basics of blogging and setting up your blog, perfect for even the most clueless newbie." (Statement taken from the sales page.) While it does have some high level information about search engine optimization, writing content and traffic resources, it won't help anyone who doesn't know how to set up a blog. There are no instructions to assist in setting up the options on Blogger or to install WordPress.


I could go on and mention a few more reasons why I don't recommend this product however I hope the above 7 are enough to convince you to keep your money.


Now even though I don't think you should "buy" this product, I will give you my affiliate link. If you're not going to take my recommendation, I'll gladly take your money for Easy Blog Traffic. Also, if you are a member of the Prudent Resellers Book Club and can wait until next month for this product, you will be getting it free as a member. Then you can review this product too and add your comments to this review.


To Your Success,
Susan
