			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So weeks of anticipation (not to mention hard work) has come to an end.  With the success of <a href="http://cbpirate.com" target="_blank">CBPirate.com</a> we have had a lot of people asking how they can do even better with affiliate marketing, so we put our heads together and bring you <a href="http://www.phantomlinkcloaker.com" target="_blank">Phantom Link Cloaker 2.0</a>.</p>
<p>We are constantly working to create products that will help you guys do things faster, easier and BETTER.  Not only is our plan to make something that will be useful to you, but they usually come out of a need for us needing a solution ourselves&#8230; </p>
<p>Which is why we created  <a href="http://www.phantomlinkcloaker.com" target="_blank">Phantom Link Cloaker 2.0</a> as the simple answer to cloaking your affiliate links safely, securely and very effectively.  </p>
<p>We have made it so accessible that setting it up is a breeze.  To top it off, we have tutorial videos and even a step-by-step guide that you can follow in case you need additional help or get lost along the way.</p>
<p>There are also some features that haven&#8217;t been done on any cloaking script before that (humbly we say&#8230;) blows every script out of the water.  The most talked about one is the ability to add your own lightbox into ANY page you wish.</p>
<p>This allows affiliates to earn money promoting any product that they like, while still letting you build your own assets (your list!).</p>
<p>You can have a look at the other features of, what we believe is, the ultimate link cloaking software available by visiting <a href="http://www.phantomlinkcloaker.com" target="_blank">Phantom Link Cloaker</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To celebrate <a href="http://hitsconnect.com">HitsConnect.com</a> 5th Birthday in October 2009. I have added a great new feature as a birthday gift for you.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Filtering</strong></p>
<p>When smart filtering is enabled, the rotator will prevent pages from the current website in the address bar to viewed within the rotator. For example, this means that when your rotator is being used at dragonsurf.biz, any pages promoting dragonsurf.biz will not be shown in the rotator.</p>
<p>So to take advantage of this new new feature just login to your members area, select &#8220;My Rotators&#8221; and check the Smart Filtering Enabled checkbox and click &#8220;Update Filtering&#8221; for the rotators that you want to have this feature enabled for.</p>
<p><strong>Continued Upgrade Program</strong><br />
This was part of our Phase 2 of the system upgrade plans which are nearing completion so you can expect some new features, better performance and maybe a few surprises. </p>
<p>Keep watching over the coming weeks for details!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow doesn&#8217;t time fly when you&#8217;re having fun. <a href="http://hitsconnect.com">HitsConnect.com</a> the premier Ad tracking, banner tracking, full featured rotators and split testing system had its 5th Birthday in October 2009. Although I have been online for many years before. HitsConnect.com was the first website that I built from scratch and proud to see it still providing a great service after all these years.</p>
<p>HitsConnect.com is a fully independent service with over 10,000 members and tracking over a 1/4 million hits a day. We are not associated with any Traffic Exchange system or service and therefore provide an un-biased and professional service to its customers.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m not resting on my laurels &#8211; phase 2 of our system upgrade plans are nearing completion and you can expect some new features, better performance and maybe a few surprises.</p>
<p>So thank you to all members of HitsConnect.com for making it the premier Ad tracking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve just finished uploading a bunch of new cool features to <a href=" http://instantbannercreator.com">Instant Banner Creator</a>. So if your an existing member then its time to log back in and check the new stuff! and if your not a member, well whats keeping you head over and check out this excellent free resource.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s new?</p>
<p>1. Resize Your Images</p>
<p>You can now easily resize all of your saved images. Just click the &#8220;Resize&#8221; button beneath the individual images, select the new size and hey presto the image will be sized accordingly.</p>
<p>2. Convert Your Images</p>
<p><a href=" http://instantbannercreator.com">Instant Banner Creator</a> saves all the images as .png which we consider to be the best format for web graphics. However there is still a need to use other formats so we have now added the ability to easily convert them to .jpg or .gif &#8211; just click the &#8220;Convert&#8221; button beneath the saved graphic, select the required format and whether you want to also preserve the orginal .png format.</p>
<p>3. Create Bigger Images</p>
<p>Yep, due to popular demand we have increased the maximum width and height you can select when creating your own templates. And to make it even easier we have added a text box next to the size sliders &#8211; you can now just type in your preferred size as well as moving the slider.</p>
<p>Over the next few days we&#8217;ll also be adding a ton of new templates and clip art you can use in your designs &#8211; there&#8217;s already a few new ones in there.</p>
<p>And finally Cindy Battye has created an awesome new members area for us. You have to log in and see it, it looks like a million bucks </p>
<p>Is this the sweetest members area ever?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://imsuccessformula.com"><img alt="IM Success Formula" src="http://johnmerrick.name/images/imsfthumb.jpg" title="IM Success Formula" width="220" height="138" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">IM Success Formula</p></div>I have to tell you right off the bat, Søren Jordansen&#8217;s Internet Marketing Success Formula knocked me for a loop when I got a preview on his free 41 page e-book.  So when he asked me to provide the programming for the downline builder and PDF re branding for it I jumped at the chance. </p>
<p>IM Success Formula is bursting at the seams with useful information Soren gleamed from his own experience and, more importantly, from conducting scientific surveys of internet marketers. Everything, and I mean everything, is covered from choosing a web host, building a squeeze page, monetizing the list building process, how to set up a profit pulling email series and what types of affiliate programs convert the best while creating the trust and creditability.</p>

It was designed to capture the emerging Twitter interest in the IM world and allow a way to post Tweet&#8217;s informing followers of new blog posts.</p>
<p>We have been using Twitter to drive traffic to our blogs for quite some time and it works like a charm. You simply post a &#8220;tweet&#8221; when you have updated your blog, and all you friends, followers and admirers will be instantly notified&#8230; *bang* that&#8217;s instant traffic back to your blog. And even better, people can reply to your tweet, their followers can see their reply&#8230; and before you know it you have a viral stream of traffic back to your blog.</p>
<p>Thats why we create the simple yet super powerful Wordpress plugin that would automatically integrate with Twitter with your blog. You can see it running in my side bar &#8212;></p>

It was born out of an idea one drunken evening at a seminar where I first meet Søren in person. Essentially it allows you to create buttons, optin forms, etc that &#8220;float&#8221; on your page and are always there ready for your potential customers to act on. </p>
<p>How often have you read a sales letter that you were genuinely interested and then closed the page before you got to the order button? Yes it happens more often than we want to know. Many of your potential customers are leaving your page every day, before they even reach the order button.</p>
<p>The same is true for your optin forms. You may have the fanciest lead capture pop up known to man. But what happens when your visitors close the pop up? Who says they want to optin when they first hit the page and not when they have read 2/3 of your content?</p>
<p>The simple fact is that you don&#8217;t know at which point a potential customer or subscriber decides to take action. So wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if your order button and optin forms were always in the right place at the right time &#8211; always ready to grab your prospects at the exact moment they decide to take action? </p>
