Come Join The Pool Party!

My friend Howie just put out a NEW PDF revealing SIX new Web 2.0 sites that Google loves to rank.

The cool part is they are not well known by the masses and you can use them to rank almost instantly

Howies Pool Party

Even cooler, you can keep your wallet in your pants because he’s giving it all away.

Warning though, he said he’s taking the PDF down in the next day so you need to hurry…

PS – New Web 2.0 properties! It doesn’t get much better then this . . .

After checking out the credentials of Darren Monroe (the author if the above article), I picked up his Twitter product for $59 (*note – Perry’s full social media system which Twitter is a large component was being sold for $997+ in a big launch last week) Darren Monroe Twitter Program

Based on the due diligence I performed when looking at a bunch products out there re: social marketing / leveraging twitter, I personally chose to pick up Darren’s. As of last Friday, I had 56 followers and had no idea what the heck I was doing when it came to Twitter and really leveraging its power along with Facebook. Suffice to say my eyes have been opened!

Anyway, I encourage you to ALWAYS do research on the product’s owner(s) before making a final purchase decision – hype runs rampant in our world so definitely shield yourself from the “bright shiny lights” I have purchased stuff from Ryan Deiss before and his products are solid – so I’m certain that the Social Media Money System (affiliate link) is probably fantastic (Perry has TONS of raving fans), but I didn’t want to drop 1k on something I could probably figure out on my own – a lot of this social media stuff is really based on common sense

Use your own judgement and let me know what you think. I will say that Darren even contacted me about this post thanking me for mentioning his product – how many times has a “guru” of any product you’ve purchased or recommended contacted you? … that’s what I thought. ’nuff said.
