Super A-List Celeb Review of little ol’ me? What a waste…

December 21, 2007 · Filed Under Affiliate Noob 

So as some of you may have seen, I won the very cool “free John Chow Review” contest that was on WinningTheWeb recently. I assume many people that took part would have chosen to have their blog reviewed by the almighty chowder man himself. After all, the “chow effect” has become legendary and could give a blog a real nice jump start. Thing is, my blog sucks! I haven’t been blogging very long yet and don’t have many post to really give anyone an idea what this blog will be like and beyond a few basic post showing some of my personality, there isn’t enough to go on to really give a review let alone come check out after reading a review by John. I hope to change that as I get used to this blogging thing and have more to post about but it seemed silly to have this blog reviewed at this point. So what am I having reviewed instead? A super duper product to launch my affiliate career, or course!

A while back I emailed John asking if he could do product/service reviews for the paid reviews and, of course, he said yes. I didn’t have the cash to pay the crazy hourly rate that a super A-list blogger charges but it was right about that time that fate stepped in and I found the contest on WinningTheWeb. Now I just have to figure out how to bribe John Chow to give a really great positive review and make it all worthwhile!

Want a sneak peak at what I am having John review for me? Well I’m going to tell you anyway…

A while back I signed up for an affiliate network I read about somewhere that seemed a bit different than the usual networks called MoreNiche. After signing up and checking out what they had to offer I noticed rather than having a huge listing of offers they only had a small selection of products and most of those were related to either diet pills or penis extenders of all things. What set them apart though was the amount of resources and help they offered with these products for their affiliates. Each of the offers had a HUGE amount of creative material including all the usual banners and such but also PLR articles, websites and even PLR ebooks that you could edit and distribute. There is also a huge library of help files and how-to ebooks making it almost as much of an “e-course” on how to be an affiliate marketer as it was a network pimping their products.

Although I was very impressed with the amount of support and materials made available, I didn’t have many sites or traffic that would have benefited much form penis extension and the like. Not that that is a bad thing, of course, I just didn’t think my Journeyman fan traffic was really the most targeted for an extra inch or two. Then again, I guess you never know…

Well thankfully, MoreNiche has been busy building up their catalogue of offers and products and expanding into many other very cool niches…you could say MoreNiche was getting into “More Niches”. Or not if you aren’t into stupid obvious puns.

Although there are a few of their new products I am excited about, one particular service really got me excited (no pun intended at all here, seriously). Not just because it could be a good money maker if it converted but also because it is just a really kickass new service, especially for internet marketers who like to know what their traffic is doing. Forget just having analytics. Get over just studying your heatmaps. With ClickTale you get to see exactly what your users are doing on your site with VIDEO. Meaning their actions are all fully recorded while on your site. It’s as if you are looking over their shoulder while they browse your site and you get to see where they hover, what they avoid, what they click and how long it takes them to click and pretty much everything you would want to know about what users actually do on your site. Short of being able to ask them why the hell they aren’t clicking on your ads/offers in person, there isn’t a better way to learn how your users use, or don’t use, your site. It’s incredibly powerful to actually be able to SEE the problems you have and be able to fix them based on that feedback. Sure, analytics are still important but when you are laying out your landing pages or trying to improve your usability there is nothing like being able to actually see how your users get around.

Best part is you can actually try it out for FREE. After signing up at TryClickTale.com you get a free 100 recordings a week for two URLs! Even if you never decide to upgrade, with that much free time you should easily be able to see and learn enough to make some huge improvements to your sites and landing pages.

Yeah, of course I’d like to hype ClickTale because it is an affiliate product but to be completely honest, of everything I have every promoted, ClickTale is by far the coolest and one I actually use and believe in. It really is a huge advantage to be able to learn how users use your site by actually watching them. In my case, I learned that I suck at setting up navigation and regardless how slick I thought I was with my ad integration, I learned my uses were much much smarter than me and avoided a lot of the ads in the beginning.

So, if you want to check it out before you see what John Chow thinks, go ahead and sign up for your free trial at TryClickTale.com. Please let me know what you think of it as well because I really am looking forward to seeing what others think of it.

And if you think it is something you’d like to promote, MoreNiche has some pretty impressive payouts on top of their great support. You can sign up for MoreNiche at JoinMoreNiche.com. Definitely let me know what you think about their network as well. Maybe it’s because I am so new to affiliate marking but I was blown away by the amount of resources they make available for their affiliate.

Now, bring it on John!
