Hey guys,
Here’s a video that walks through just 3 reverse-engineered spreadsheets from each “phase” of the Affiliate Intelligence package…
(Keep in mind that there are over 1 million keywords reverse-engineered in the actual package, and to put that in perspective that is over 1,700 CSV spreadsheets, where each spreadsheet has an average of 1000 rows of keyword data.)
Click the “play” link below to watch the short preview video.
Like I said before – this is a goldmine:
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE AFFILIATE INTEL “SNEAK PEEK” >>
This entire package will be available as a Beta launch very shortly.
Just a few days away now…
Cheers
-Chris
P.S. The video might load a little slow at first due to the volume of folks watching. If that’s the case, in a few hours time it will likely run more smoothly.
(Normally I upload them to YouTube for this purpose, but this one is 12 minutes in length, which exceeds the YouTube size restrictions…)

Oh – one more thing…
I’m sure many of you will be searching my examples on Google to see if the data is accurate.
Make sure you use the keyphrase in quotation marks when doing so – to specify an exact match result.
This is what matters for organic SEO competition.
Anything under 50,000 exact match results is something you can rank for without much trouble.
Anything under 5,000 exact match results is something you can rank for in literally a matter of days, or less.
ALSO – these search results are continually changing and updated (and it also depends on your Google data server, which varies based on where you live)…
…BUT – overall, the number will be an accurate ballpark figure that signifies general competiion and “ease of rank”.
Anyway, if you’ve had any experience in the past with SEO (and how SEO works), then this will undoubtedly have you very, very excited

Awesome, can’t wait to get my hands on this. When does this launch? Any word on the price?
Thanks.

Can’t wait for this to release. Great stuff.
4 Preben // Aug 10, 2009 at 3:51 pm
This sure looks awesome! The Internet Marketers days are over! – For a while.
However, why not use the allintitle command instead of quotes? Or both?
There might be pretty few quoted results, but still many allintitle’s if there are only marketers promoting that keyword.

This is a great tool to boost our bottomline. Hopefully, it’s affordable to newbies.
Thanks, Chris – for a great job!

9 Brian // Aug 10, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Chris,
I’m watching the video now and I have a different opinion about your 1st example of targeting the keyword phrase – money exchange converter – and easily being able to get a top listing in Google “ALMOST GUARANTEED” just by putting up a page because there are only 3130 exact match competitors.
I did a search on that phrase (no quotes). The first page on Google is dominated with PR8 and PR7 websites.
Downright bloody competition for that phrase.
Anyone who puts up a page targeting that phrase is going to get creamed IMHO. (And we both know some guys are doing that right now because it’s on your video.)
It’s not the number of so-called competitors that matters, but their quality.
If Phrase A has 50 million PR zero “competitors,” and Phrase B has only 50 PR7 competitors, everything else being equal I’ll go for Phrase A any day.
OK, on to the rest of the video. Maybe this will be a good example and you’ll prove me wrong, but I’m fairly certain that just putting up a page targeting that keyword phrase will not be as easy to get a top ranking as the video states.
If anyone wants to prove me wrong – go register a domain, target that keyword phrase, and leave a comment here.
I don’t mind being proven wrong — just have a different viewpoint about what is important to achieve a top ranking, and the number of “exact match pages” is a minor factor in my book.
10 Mike // Aug 10, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I am already doing this, (phase 1) to an extent. Phrase match.
Will you have a tool so that we will be able to do the searches ourselves? that would be nice as well
All in all a lot of mega helpful info to say the least!
thanks
Mike
PS No i didn’t check your info. i knot that this works. Big G is slamming me for searching too much!

12 James // Aug 10, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Chris ,i have a question….
You seem to measure competition of the keywords in quotes, which i am not sure is the right way to do.
5000 or 50 000 sites for keyword within quotes does not show real strength,its all about authority sites on page 1 i guess.
I have seen keyword with just 4000 competeting sites , but for that keyword ,first page of google has high PR sites and majority of them are 4-5 years old.
I look forward to your reply on this.

14 Keith // Aug 10, 2009 at 4:48 pm
This looks really cool. It must have taken you months to pull this together
15 admin // Aug 10, 2009 at 4:51 pm
@Brian
1. PR doesn’t mean much. Seriously, it does not.
2. Age does have some bearing, but not as much as you might think.
3. Yes, you can easily rank for a term with only 3000 exact match competitors because RELEVANCE is what Google cares about.
Not PR.
If you have a page, or a site, that is relevant to your target keyword, and you promote it accordingly – it will rank.
I have outranked numerous sites like that in various markets just by simply targeting the keyword and offering relevant content.
It’s the basics of SEO, folks.
Those that endlessly speculate will obviously get nowhere.
Those who ACT will see that there is a reason why data like this is valuable.

22 Preben // Aug 10, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Like Chris said, it doesn’t matter that much if the top sites have a high PR if they don’t have the keyword phrase in their title – Which is what google heavily relies on regarding relevancy and placements. Also anchor backlinks etc.
But I have a little SEO related question for you Chris… As you’re more of an expert on the topic than me!
Here it goes: (Sorry for being a bit off-topic, but it has to do with relevancy of searches, and might help people realize that SEO is mostly based on logic)
I recently created a DJ website. It has 2 mixes, lasting 40 and almost 60 minutes. The website has google analytics, but no backlinks.
Do you think that google uses the fact that people often stay long on my website to give me better rankings? I’m on the first page of google for a few pretty competetive keywords, yet still no backlinks.
Looking forward to your reply!
– Preben
23 Jason // Aug 10, 2009 at 5:34 pm
This looks good,i guess it will be high priced ? Any info on price Chirs?
24 admin // Aug 10, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Hi Preben
Is the domain aged?
Or – does it have any kind of previous history?
Also, have you done any kind of backlinking, pinging, submitting feeds, etc?
I have experienced this too for 2 of my sites, and I suspect it may have to do with an expired domain’s history or an old 301 redirect or something along those lines…
And yes, I do think that Google takes bouncebacks into consideration.
As well as their new “user ranking” functions similar to digg votes.
Although I would have to say that the relevance and backlink factors still outweigh all that stuff many times over…
-Chris

Looking forward to making use of this resource. We all assume many tools will get overused when released, but you can usually count on laziness to weed out many who will never take action even if the keys to the kingdom are offered to them on a golden platter.
26 Hamant Keval // Aug 10, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Hi there Chris
Looks like an awful lot of information there.
Tell me – Is this information not already available through the many spy tools out there already?
I realize that you are putting it all in one place and therefor makes it much handier I guess.
I suppose even when one is using the spy tools , many people wont know where to begin to start their spying !
27 alan // Aug 10, 2009 at 5:58 pm
hi chris i am really interested in this when is it coming out
thanks alan
28 Preben // Aug 10, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Thanks for your reply!
@Chris – No. No to all really.
No keywords in the domain as well as it is 100% new. Just registered it 2 months ago or something.
It also has no backlinks. All I did was to ping it at pingler.com when I updated it.
Very little content as well. (Only 3 posts and 3 pages or so)
So I find it pretty weird. But over 16% of the visitors have stayed on the site for over an hour, and I’m quite good at SEO for wordpress, even though I didn’t optimize with those keywords in mind.
You can see it for yourself: http://euphoricvibes.com
It ranks for:
progressive techhouse
tech house tracklist
And a few others. Bounce rate at 60%.
I have submitted the RSS feed to some feed sites, but I got those rankings way before that.
Btw, I just realized it has one backlink from an old site that *had* PR3, but the clicks have come after it lost it’s juice.
Now considering the fact that I have analytics, I think Big G uses the *average time on site* to give me some love =) It makes sense, even though it haven’t been discussed before.

31 Andy // Aug 10, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Hey Chris,
I’d have to agree with Brian to an extent. This information is pretty but fairly useless to someone who doesn’t know how to implement it properly i.e someone without the SEO knowledge to make it work for them.
I have been attacking phrase match gaps for nearly 12 months and there are a lot more considerations than just organic competition.
With a pretty stable SEO effort I have seen massively mixed results depending on the niche, the competition and the day of the week!?
Loved all your products so far, brilliantly fluffless, but without some additional implementation training isn’t this just a Market Samurai/PPC Bully export?
32 admin // Aug 10, 2009 at 6:39 pm
@Hamant
There are two primary reasons why this intel package is far superior to everything else:
1. Unlike a keyword tool, it doesn’t depend on YOUR knowledge of markets. This shows you what others promote, and how.
There’s a big difference…
2. Now, this is something NOBODY has done yet – my data displays the actual exact-match results for EVERY keyword.
This is a goldmine for SEOers and organic affiliates.
This is a group that has been completely overlooked in the past, even though it’s a huge part of the affiliate community.
That’s what this “intel” release targets specifically.
I built this database for myself, since I basically only do organic affiliate promotion.
And for me, this is like the ultimate brainstorming treasure map. I will never run out of ideas for site topics, markets, etc. based on this package alone.
Nor do I care about “competition”, since we are talking about thousands of products, thousands of markets, and millions of keywords.
-Chris
33 Alan H // Aug 10, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Chris,
Here’s my take on it…
Anyone who signs off their post with “Thanks a bunch” will be the cherry pickers ;¬)
Bless them all — The long, the short, and the tall.
34 admin // Aug 10, 2009 at 6:47 pm
@Andy (31)
…Useless?
Yes, it is “useless” for people who don’t know how to use it.
Just like how I’d be pretty useless in the cockpit of an F-16.
But if you ARE an seo affiliate, and if you DO understand the importance of phrase competition and more importantly WHAT IS BEING PROMOTED – this is a treasure map.
This is like saying something is “useless” if someone doesn’t take action.
“Exercising is useless unless you actually do it”.
Really.
What a profound insight.
(Sorry about the sarcasm, but that’s hardly a “point”).
Organic SEO is not an exact science, and that is because it is simple.
If you simply create content for low-comp keyphrases, many of them will rank, you’ll get traffic, and NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT TO PROMOTE – you’ll see results.
That is the whole point of the reverse-engineering process here.
And no, PPC Bully and Market Samurai have nothing on this.
Absolutely nobody has accurate exact-match data for this much profitable market intel.
I repeat myself: This is a goldmine for organic marketers.
-Chris
35 admin // Aug 10, 2009 at 6:49 pm
I should clarify that PPC Bully and Market Samurai are designed for a different purpose.
They are research tools.
What I am offering is a research DATABASE built specifically for organic marketers.
You don’t have to “search” anything, or set up research “campaigns”.
Everything is ready to open, work with, sort, etc.
All you need is OpenOffice or Microsoft Excel.
And a basic understanding of SEO.
-Chris
36 Tony // Aug 10, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Do you have any current SEO courses? It seems like the rules change all the time.
Does MSN loophole still work?
Tony
37 Preben // Aug 10, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Yes, and SEO is quite simple once you understand the logic behind it.
Google wants to show relevant,quality results. If you base all you know about SEO on that, you will quickly understand what works and what doesn’t.
As for your “defense” Chris, it’s plain simple.
You have done all of the research, and people who get their hands on this can just pick the top candy based on what’s selling, and what’s low-competition.
YES, people will need a basic understanding on SEO, or even just article marketing, but those who do will benefit greatly.
It’s not just low-competition keywords, it’s keywords that sell – And what they sell.
Simply promote whatever they are promoting, and be a little bit smarter than them. (By utilizing organic traffic instead of ppc for low-competition keywords for example. $5 equals a decent article that can get a top ranking with little effort vs. 5-10 ppc clicks for the same price.)
I’m really looking forward to see how this turns out. Good luck with the launch!
– Prebz
38 admin // Aug 10, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Tony,
1. The “rules” have been the same for almost a decade.
a)Provide relevant content. b) Get links.
All the “complications” that everyone spouts off are usually being preached by newbies who have absolutely no grounds for forming an actual opinion.
On the other hand, marketers like me who have hundreds of sites in inventory – actually realize the simplicity of everything, since we keep it simple and do what works.
See my blog post titled “Hype VS Reality” for details.
2. Yes, it does. In fact, see the salesletter for an updated video of new results on Bing.
Also, those initial video results have held for over 9 months now.
That should say something right there…
Cheers

39 Robert // Aug 10, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Chris,
How do you calculate “competition”?
When you do a google search (in quotes) you can look for the competitors who have that phrase: on the page, or allintitle, etc.
Which are you defining to give the competition?
John Reese says that only an “allintitle” search, with the phrase in quotes, is the correct way to find the competition.
What say you?
Many thanks,
Robert

I just use an exact phrase match.
JR’s method is more about seeing relevant competitors, but the fact is, exact-match results are more realistic in terms of what you’re up against.
The title tag is important, but it’s still one factor of several.
Using exact-match data is more than sufficient for establishing which keywords are well worth targeting…

Hi Chris,
Well done on the video. Don’t want to be picky but in your video you mentioned the travel example in which you said you could rank for the ‘travel deals Las Vegas’ keyword which has 14,000 competitors or so without much trouble.
From what I can tell the first page results for this term are high PR sites but not only that they each have thousands of backlinks to their page ( for this term – even more backlinks to their domains ).
Surely there is no way you could rank for this term easily and I would say that this specific term is actually unbelievably competitive but correct me please if I am wrong – Surely the amount of back links to the page counts ?
Regards

I thought using quotation marks is actually indicating a “phrase” match? I thought to get exact match you should be using [brackets]? At least that’s how it works in Googles own keyword tool.

You are supplying the best Niches to enter, the KWs to go for, the products to sell…. Do I hear KaaaChnng! in my affiliate accounts!
If this isnt a treasure map i dont know what is!!!
So all we need to do is build an appealing website, sprinkle in a bit of good LSI & SEO & get some back links?
It certainly takes the guesswork out of IM.

59 Rays // Aug 11, 2009 at 7:40 pm
What Chris provides here can certainly help to save time. However, more importantly is to learn how to write good 300-500 words articles.
If you write lousy content, it doesn’t matter what keywords you use or how high your keywords get ranked, you still can’t make money.
Remember keyword research is only one part, another part is CONVERSION. Even if your website uses all the great keywords but if they can’t convert, you can’t make money.
60 admin // Aug 11, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Rays
Good point – BUT – keep in mind that what’s also available with all this is the exact URL that the affiliates are promoting.
Meaning you get to see the presell process, how they convert the visitor, etc.
That is very, very valuabe information.

65 admin // Aug 12, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Nick,
Market Samurai is a very capable and useful RESEARCH tool for organic marketing – and yes, it can dig up organic comp numbers and so on for keyword lists that YOU generate.
But what it does NOT do is show you what the top dogs are promoting. And similarly, it does NOT show you how.
With a tool like Market Samurai, it’s still up to the user to try and figure out what’s profitable.
With my Affiliate Intel release – I’ve literally reverse engineered the SEM campaigns of all the major PPC affiliates spanning all the major networks…
…and then taken ALL that data (hundreds of thousands of keywords) and processed them with their exact-match competition values.
If you can’t see the value in that, well…
-Chris
66 Stephen // Aug 12, 2009 at 7:13 pm
From personal experience I avoid what the top-dogs (crooks basically) are promoting because most of them are not flying straight.
Most of their figs are derived from cookie-stuffing, redirects and plain collusion with certain affiliate networks. You would be lucky to come away with much after they soak you and your tricky small fry efforts.
Besides the action is not in old school PPC search ads anymore anyway. That is why google has opened the DB door and is selling digits piecemeal. Who is going to care anyway? Sears?
67 Dale // Aug 13, 2009 at 10:47 am
Chris,
What makes your research different than Google Cash Detective? This looks very similar to the information I can pull from there?
68 Sakana // Aug 13, 2009 at 1:53 pm
How does your system determines/measures an ad, affiliate, landing page, and keyword cambo profitability? And what are the metrics used for that?
69 admin // Aug 13, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Dale,
GCD isn’t for organic marketers.
AND – what I’m offering is not a “tool”. Or a “system”.
It’s a huge affiliate market intel package, which clearly reveals the products and keywords promoted by the top affiliates across every major network.
This data has been matched with exact-match Google results so that organic affiliates can clearly see what’s “up for grabs”.
I didn’t build this for PPC affiliates, although they would definitely see massive value in terms of brainstorming and simply seeing what’s already profitable.
Sakana – I’ve used over 5 major keyword research tools, and I custom-coded my own application to extract the exact-match data for each keyword as well, and compiled it all into several thousand CSV files.
It has taken me and my staff literally months to do this.
And we’re still finishing up the last batch.
THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE HERE FOLKS IS THAT YOU’RE NOT LEFT TO “GUESS” WHICH KEYWORDS TO RESEARCH.
Sure, there’s a ton of great research tools out there that can “pull data” like Market Samurai, GCD and others.
But it’s still up to YOU to supply the initial keywords, or product category to begin your research.
What this does is it simply shows you what ALL the top affiliates are promoting, and it reveals all the “easy pickings” from an organic standpoint.
This isn’t about ad-cloning or quality scores.
This is about in-depth market research and some eye-opening data that will give you a clear roadmap as to what is actually profitable and working for other affiliates in literally thousands and thousands of markets.
And then it shows you where the easy, free search engine traffic is – in those markets.
How else can I possibly explain this?
Folks – I STILL get excited by my own resource, from an affiliate standpoint. And trust me, it’s opened my eyes to a LOT of new promotional avenues that I wouldn’t have ever considered.
And I’m not what I consider to be a newbie.
So to reiterate – this is like getting “Covert Intel” on every affiliate market that exists.
It’s not a “search tool” or some keyword research program.
It’s literally a huge ARCHIVE of profitable markets, promotions, products, etc. along with SEO “rankability” measures for each and every keyword.

Tom – nothing is being “stolen”.
Simply organized.
Just like how having a lot of in-depth market data in real estate, or car sales – or whatever – is going to give you the edge.
But it’s NOT illegal, or even unethical.
The whole point of marketing is to expose your message to the market.
It’s a very “public” affair – that’s why it’s effective.
I’ve simply organized what others are publicly doing in plain sight.

72 Dale // Aug 13, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Thanks for the answers Chris. I currently use several of your products/methods and none have failed me yet.
I’m looking forward to the release. sign me up!
take care.
73 Sakana // Aug 13, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Thanks for the reply Chris…
Does the “market intel” update itself dynamically when new data is created online (scrapping search engines)?
And does it have a mgmt interface? (I don’t like working with excel)
74 admin // Aug 13, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Sakana,
No, it’s all straight CSV.
I may upload the data and run it via MYSQL or something in a web-based area depending on user feedback…
-Chris
75 Greg // Aug 15, 2009 at 8:52 am
I have read all the way down here, as I usually do and get in on the thread a little late to see what the wash up is, and funny thing the only question I had was answered by the last post from Sakana’s question.
So yes Chris if this is any kind of feedback, having some shelf life to your product would be a smart inbuild.
Assuming you have the queries written, it would be a fairly simply matter having run on a cron job once a month to keep the online version fresh.
As you know, we get tools from you Chris and then need to find time to use them, and it can be months, so YES dynamic data please if you can.
Cheers,
Greg
76 Greg // Aug 15, 2009 at 8:56 am
Oh and BTW, looks like a smokingly hot product, and yes I can see the huge value here, book me as a customer as I was looking for something that would do this exactly.
Save me time in finding the “holes” as you rightly put it.
Anyone with a small amount of experience here will vouch for the “doh” moment you realise that all your seo efforts for the wrong keyword, your first page rankings etc, rate for diddly squat if you get the first part wrong.
Wrong keywords and show over.
Of course, you need the Three T’s.
Traffic
that is Targeted
that Trusts you or your content.

I don’t think updating data is feasible, that would take a lot of man hours, it would definitely turn into a membership site then.
78 Greg // Aug 16, 2009 at 4:54 am
@jeremy,
come on man, what are computers good at if not doing the same thing over and over again?
Programmers right the programs to do the task and the server gets a cron job and it clicks away like clockwork.
Shouldn’t be that hard?
79 admin // Aug 16, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Greg,
Actually it’s a LOT of data to update on a daily basis.
What I may do is update the keyword values every 3 months or so, since things won’t change that much in 90 days in terms of organic comp.
There are a few exceptions, but by and large in most markets these values will be relevant for a year or more.
-Chris
80 Scott // Aug 16, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Again Chris just amazing… I mean not to stroke your ego too much : P but you have done it for good here.
Since almost a year and a half ago when I bought Confession of a Lazy Super Affiliate to now you have never stopped impressing me.
You are the sole reason I make money at this IM game. The Conduit method + your resources on SEO and organic traffic are top notch.
I can already see the AMAZING value this intel can bring us all. You truly are practicing what you preach and I have no doubts you may just cement yourself as one of the best marketers when we all look back on the past of what internet marketing was.
You provide value even in a free blog post, I know I can open one of your emails and not ever be blasted with sales copy etc.
Just a stand up guy. Credit card is in hand, don’t be afraid to charge $100,000 cause I would pay it.
Haha here is to my success because of you, present and future.
Cheers,
Scott
81 Scott // Aug 16, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Oh and btw, really you should charge 100,000 for this. That way I am the sole purchaser and can spend the next 50 years of my life using all this data to create 100000′s of sites and make a swimming pool of money : )
82 James // Aug 17, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Chris, can u tell me when u plan to release this ?
83 Knilles // Aug 18, 2009 at 4:56 am
Chris, can you give us an estimation about when AffiliateArmory.com is launched?
I am especially interested in the optimized HTML and WP sites, since building good quality, converting sites isn´t my strongest point.
Finding markets and how to promote them is more in my alley. I already have some sites up and running on a Hostgator reseller account and there is space for a lot more sites.
It would be even better if there will be CPA offers on sites where we can choose from on Affiliate Armory, since I am having a lot more succes with CPA offers then with just ´normal´ affiliate offers.
84 Greg // Aug 18, 2009 at 4:23 pm
OK Chris, I hear ya man. A lot of data, but good to hear you are planning some regular updates, as it would not be long before its shelflife vaporised.
Is looks like a great time saving tool.
Eta?
85 jeremy // Aug 18, 2009 at 10:50 pm
also interested in the html high converting websites
86 John Suggs // Aug 19, 2009 at 5:20 am
Hi Chris
Any update as to when you’ll be releasing this, this looks like being the ultimate resource to truly dominating the niches we want to.
John
87 Daniel // Aug 22, 2009 at 5:27 am
I wonder if you’re thinking of releasing this on Thursday 27th, as it’s my birthday that day
88 Faith // Aug 24, 2009 at 2:08 am
I have been on alert for this ever since Chris mentioned it some time back.
This is just what I need to jumpstart my success, allowing me to focus more on content creation and cut back greatly on time/energy spent on research.
I am deleting my account at a popular keyword research membersite as of now.
With the right info – the target becomes so much more easily attainable.
Good job Chris – much thanks for making this ‘database of info gold’ available.
Will buy for sure!
+Faith
89 Knilles // Aug 24, 2009 at 6:32 am
Chris,
just watched the videos on the Intel page and I was wondering why in the first 2 modules there isn´t a column withm montly searches, like in module 3?
Seeing the competing pages in a column is one thing, but this means we have to check the searches ourself in the Google Keyword Tool for keyword we find interesting.
But in the Module 3 video, I see the monthly searches in the first column and the competing pages in another column.
Why didn´t you do this for the other modules also?
And the competing pages number, is this for exact, broad or phrase match?
Same goes for the searches number in module 3, what kind of match is this in G?
90 Guam Guy // Aug 24, 2009 at 9:07 am
It seems Chris has been in the Batcave calmly surveying the market while diligently preparing to layout his plan. He’s been silent too long!
Let’s see if I can be the first one to purchase it…
Dang Chris you need a count down on that page.
Gil
BTW It’s already Tuesday here.
91 admin // Aug 24, 2009 at 9:25 am
Knilles,
All Modules use the exact phrase match values.
The base data from Modules 1 & 2 were pulled from the adwords API, and so the estimated search volume is based on PPC estimates, not organic.
The idea is to look at which keywords the affiliates are buying in volume. If there’s something that they’re willing to spend a lot with to get a lot of clicks – it generally means that it’s a winner.
There is a difference between keywords with traffic and keywords with profit.
This resource was built specifically to identify profit centers in every market.
HOWEVER – if enough people voice this, I’ll add the monthly search data as an update.
Actually, now that you mention that, it seems like a worthy thing to add, even for visualization purposes.
(See? That’s the value of launching something as a BETA. This way you can iron out the wrinkles before it’s official).
Thanks!
-Chris
92 Guam Guy // Aug 24, 2009 at 9:29 am
I’ve noticed you aren’t on WF as much anymore.
Which brings me to the question: Will you be posting the Affiliate Intel as a WFSO?
Gil
93 admin // Aug 24, 2009 at 9:39 am
I may do that, yes.
The problem is timing with the approval system.
Maybe I could run a 24 hour special there or something…
Also – the last few months I’ve honestly just been too occupied with my own business to spend time on forums.
I’m doing a lot of new affiliate stuff (in some really cool niches), as well as preparing AffiliateArmory.com and new upcoming products under the Lazy Marketer brand.
I feel like especially these days my time is scarce and I have to make the most of it.
Also, forums have a way of silently chewing up a lot of time and they can create diversions.
When things settle down a bit more, I’ll be back on the WF.
Cheers
-Chris
94 Guam Guy // Aug 24, 2009 at 10:07 am
That’s good to hear. I appreciate the valuable posts you’ve put together.
WF is where I first heard about you back in Dec. 2007. I’ve started off with one website and stopped by February 2008.
You see I run a company that’s not mine. Revenue’s have doubled since last year and I’m gearing for the seven figure mark next year.
But I think this is it. This is where it’s got stop. I think it’s my turn.
I’ve recently watched a video that just came out with Tony Robbins speaking with Frank Kern and John Reese. Tony spoke about “Certainty”.
It hit me like a brick. I think Affiliate Intel will be the catalyst for me.
December 2007 is also the time I realized I wouldn’t become a partner of the company that I lead.
Thanks,
Gil
P.S. My one measly and contradicting website has made $1,500 since last year. What was it that you said? Scale Up!
P.P.S. Get a count down timer.
95 Mark Bradley // Aug 24, 2009 at 10:37 am
Hi Chris,Thanks for all the work that you’ve put into this.You’ve done all the heavy lifting and saved us thousands of hours of frustrating research.I am absolutely clear on how valuable this information is what I’m not so sure about is how we take this info. and turn it into revenue.I am guessing that I would need to build a salespage or a blog on which to put the keywords and the products that the top affiliates are promoting,would I need to build links and promote the site etc.Will all the steps that this requires be included in the package?Regards,Mark.
96 Shin // Aug 24, 2009 at 8:41 pm

I noticed that the homepage still goes to the survey. Are people still taking the survey?
97 Wm // Aug 25, 2009 at 12:38 am
Chris,
I noticed you do not seem to provide commercial intent as a column of information with any of your displays. Is it because you perceive all of the listed keywords to be commercially viable – as super affiliates are paying for clicks on the keywords?
Now I have no idea just how useful commercial intent might be but some keywords are obviously more commercially viable than others – and if the goal is to use this data to take advantage of long tail keywords without a lot of competition, it stands to reason none of us would go after all of the available long tail keywords. So… if the commercial intent was higher for one given long tail keyword vs. another, wouldn’t it follow that it would be more profitable to target the long tail keyword with the higher commercial intent?
On a second item you spoke in one of your videos about ranking for keywords with incorrect phrasing (Poor use of English grammar). If the primary SEO value is good content would you really want a website which populates an exact match keyword of “How play guitar” with a 2% occurrence? Including being in the title as well?
98 Trevor White // Aug 25, 2009 at 2:56 am
Hi there Chris.
Is this stuff for beginners, and you say that under 50T is good, and under 5T is better.
How is it easy to do better than 5000 other marketers?
Or, website owners, as all site owners have not much of a clue about SEO? But some do. Out of 5000 sites? How, and why is it so easy to beat them? I don’t get it.
How about the people who run the sites? Is this the idea of a hole? Their lack of know how?
Sorry, but I’m confused. What do I put on a site, in relation to you information? I mean, how do I choose what site to get, or product to promote? Obviously I’m ignorant and don’t understand, hence my asking for more training options.
Can you suggest any material for a beginner?
I get what you are saying, but I can’t exactly grasp it.
When I get this new offer, do you, or can you also provide a step by step plan for newbie’s as to what to do with all this info?
Sorry for my ignorance, but I’m just trying to learn.
Thanks Chris.
Trevor
99 Buffalo SEO Paul // Aug 25, 2009 at 10:40 am
Wow. I’m just playing catch-up with some of my email and made my way to your post. Nice job Chris! This does look incredible, like you’re providing a HUGE value for us affiliate mareketers who are going it alone. It seems we could take the data you provide, analyze the “top sellers” sales processes, use those to inspire our content and sites, and start linkbuilding.
100 David Elmes // Aug 25, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Chris
This is a stupid newb question, maybe you or some other expert could answer please
should i be using multiple keywords for each page or using that particular example that you give (on the video) as the key phraseword in the title tags etc and then adding more keywords to that
just usure whether were talking about “just keywords” or the “main phrase word” that goes in the title tags, headers etc
example: jimmy young forex
thanx
101 Ray // Aug 25, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Question of the day Chris.
Affiliate Armory comes out on the same day as Keyword Elite 2.0. Both have a price point of $197. Why would I want Affiliate Armory over Keyword Elite 2.0?
102 Ray // Aug 25, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Sorry Chris I meant Affiliate Intel not Affiliate Armory of course.
103 wg // Aug 25, 2009 at 4:54 pm
You have built a cool data base! I certainly see the benefit. However, another tool released today keyword elite 2.0 appears to have built a similar data base(evidently six months worth of rolling data) which can be traversed with a different user interface. It would be very useful if you could highlight the distinct advantages of your approach.
In particular you assert that you have captured data on he top 95 or so super affiliates in certain CPA networks. Is this really data on the top 95 affiliates, and all their markets, or data on the top 95 performing websites?
Also are their any other striking differences between your product and Keyword elite 2.0?
104 Robert // Aug 25, 2009 at 6:47 pm
David,
Well I am not going to try to answer “for Chris”, but I believe you want to mostly optimize a page for one keyword – and that keyword could be, and usually is, a phrase, just like the 3 word phrase you gave in you example.
You can use other keywords (phrases) on the page but at a lesser density. They will serve as the so-called “latent semantic index” phrases.
And oh yes, as I explain in my book, remember that the Title and Description tags in your web page are actually “headlines” when they show up on the search engine results page so be sure to write them as “advertising copy”
All the best,
Robert
105 Leon // Aug 25, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Hi Chris,
Great stuffs you provide here.
If I can put up a request…..
In your next update, please consider to include the landing pages used by the Clickbank’s affiliates in module 1.
At moment, ALL the URL pages consist only direct linking to the merchant sites.
Thanks
Leon.
106 David Elmes // Aug 26, 2009 at 9:29 am
Hey thanx Robert
must be getting an understanding of this business cos i understood your answer perfectly
Thanx Again
David
107 jeremy // Aug 26, 2009 at 9:34 am
Hey Chris,
Affiliate Intel is amazing, was looking through some clickbank products in the database I was promoting using the conduit method.
Wow, so many keywords I would have Never knew were being used to promote the these products. Outstanding.
Chris could you create a short video of how you use openoffice, to get the most out of it.
Never used it before.
108 Trevor White // Aug 26, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Hey there Robert.
I’m Trevor and my post is 2 above David Elmes.
Could you also comment on it please? If you don’t
mind.
Sounds like you have some good knowledge
to share. I’d appreciate your insight.
Thanks Robert, Trevor
109 Faith // Aug 26, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I bought this and it is Intel for IM at its best to date so far in my opinion. I’m brimming with ideas and excitement.
Having info on successful markets being promoted, I now have obliterated that ??? niche research headache and can deal with content creation and promotion efforts easily.
The ideas brainstormed gleaned from this data alone is priceless and can be used for many aspects of IM purposes.
My Profit Loophole eBiz will definitely take off from now on with this on hand.
Thanks Chris – looking forward to the next update. Keep up the good work!
110 Robert // Aug 27, 2009 at 11:41 am
Hi Trevor,
I’ll answer as best as I can. I do want to say that Chris Rempel is one of only 2 people (in the whole world) that I listen to and take seriously.
Chris has specific products concerning some of the questions you asked. He talks about choosing markets and and getting traffic. If you look over his site I think you may find them.
I got these some time ago myself.
With regard to your question about 5,000 or 50,000 competition.
I definitely believe that Chris doesn’t realize how good he is. When he says something is “easy”, (easy for him), I generally evaluate it a bit more conservatively (grin).
Here is my take on “5000 being somewhat easy”. Those 5000 sites that have the keyword, as an exact match, are not necessarily doing a good job of optimizing them for both “on page” and “off page” (inbound, quality, one way links).
So if YOU, do a good job with optimization, Chris is saying that you can rank, i.e. get to page 1 of google.
You CERTAINLY could be more conservative and choose from those that have 500 or less competition.
To find a product to promote, visit clickbank.com. Plan on spending a FEW DAYS perusing the products. Find a product that: 1] resonates with you (you like it), 2] is selling well, and 3] has a decent commission. Do a GOOD job at this.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Chris,
Perhaps a little off-topic, but have you ever started promoting what you believe to be legit stuff in a market, and later came across a forum or bunch of user comments that make mention of what you’re promoting being…questionable?
-Daniel
114 Mike // Sep 8, 2009 at 11:41 am
I may be wrong but it seams that Google no longer gives phrase match results. i double checked my findings and that seems to be the case.

Are you planning more training on this product? The PDF is good, but a bit short on details sometimes.
Obviously, from the many above questions, people need more usage tips.
Thanks!

Hi, anyone knows where is Chris? Haven’t heard from him for a while. Has anyone got the training materials yet?
118 admin // Sep 17, 2009 at 3:51 am
Hey everyone
Sorry about the wait – we had to tie up all the loose ends with Profit Loophole (webinar, etc.), as well as deal with some staffing issues in regards to customer support and technical stuff – particularly for Aff Intel.
I addressed most of the issues in my most recent mailing, but the most urgent one is the DEMO VIDEO.
I will do my best to have this developed and mailed out by tomorrow.
Thanks

119 Knilles // Sep 29, 2009 at 1:08 am
@ Admin:
Any news on the new official release of the Affiliate Intel ?
At the beta release I was short on funds, this is now solved and I would like to know when I can buy the Affiliate Intel.
Will you keep the offer open indefenitely when opening again or just for a short period to prevent saturation?
Regards,
Knilles
120 Hugh // Sep 29, 2009 at 3:13 am
Checking the sneak peek video above I noticed the following:
I checked the keywords “jimmy young forex” and “dailyfx plus” in Micro Niche Finder, which is getting it´s data straight from Google and in the Google Keywords Tool.
The numbers from MNF and the Google Keyword Tool were the same, but the data from Affiliate Intel was way off.
Searches per month are diffrent in the 2 tools and the competing pages are with a factor 5 more in the 2 tools.
I checked all with exact match, MNF gives the exact search count automatically.
The Intel data says for [dailyfx plus] 440 monthly searches, suggested bid of 5.08 and competing pages 4760.
Micro Niche Finder for this phrase gives 1000 global searches, suggested bid of 0.05 and 18.600 competing pages (exact match).
Google Keyword Tool has for this phrase also 1000 global searches (locally in the US no data), a suggested bid of 0.05 and checking on google.com for the competing exact match pages the number is 27400.
How come there is such a big difference between the 2 tools and the data from Affiliate Intel?
Is it possible it varies that much in just a month and on which data should we make a decision?
121 Daniel // Sep 29, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Internet Marketing feels to me like a puzzle at times. Kind of like I’ve almost completed it, but the last few pieces are missing. I have a site that is starting to rank for the product-related phrases, and climbing; but I’m in that period before the influx, where it feels like nothing is happening. It’s dead annoying really.
@ Knilles
I think it’s indefinitely, when he launches Affiliate Armory; but it will cost more; so as to dissuade newbies and such.
122 Janet // Nov 5, 2009 at 10:28 am

Could we please get a status update on the roll out of the WEB version of AI? I have long been desiring it versus the CSV version.
