Traffic Secrets 2.0 Review: Is it Worth the Cost?

While most ebook or cd collections like this don't live up to the hype on the sales page, John Reese and Traffic Secrets 2.0 more than delivers.  One indicator right off the bat was his confidence in selling a 2.0 version of Traffic Secrets as opposed to a newly named product.  Traffic Secrets 1.0 was a top seller and this follow up is already breaking records. 

John Reese has focused so much on turning out a high quality product that he has even shut marketers out of his affiliate program and has now closed the doors on it due to some less than ethical marketing tactics by some of the affiliate program members.  If you see website's offering extra bonuses or cash back offers if you buy through them, then you should know that John Reese has personally attempted to stop this practice and has cancelled the affiliate memberships of several individuals. 

Some website's have been selling Traffic Secrets 2.0 for $997 and $697.  Then offering a $50 cash back offer or more.  The problem is, Traffic Secrets 2.0 costs $397 and not a penny more. The big question on everyone's mind:  Is Traffic Secrets 2.0 worth it? 

After taking the plunge and buying the course I was mildly overwhelmed by the sheer depth of information and content included with the package I received in the mail.  It included a 377 page report and 12 CD-Roms.  Each CD has a separate focus area and Blueprint Action Plan.

I set aside a single evening to dive into the product suite and found the information to be straight forward and easy to use.  Everything is setup for beginners, so your level of internet knowledge is irrelevant.  But the hting that struck me was the Step by Step action plans for each focus area.  I have very rarely ever seen a product which tells you what to do in a methodical manner.  John even gives you a workbook for tracking progress as you work through the steps. 

Traffic Secrets focuses on a lot of things most webmasters already know.  Content is king as we all say and John Reese uses this to its maximum potential.  His Article Marketing and Web 2.0 marketing strategies are awesome and very well written.  I have had the product for 2 weeks and am only scratching at the surface of this product.  I have now personally implemented several steps of the initial phase of his Crash course and have seen an almost immediate surge in Traffic to three of my websites which I am currently promoting. 

I would have to say that Traffic Secrets 2.0 is definitely the information product of the year.  It comes with Lifetime Upgrades, it has a member community (so if you need help with any area you will get it instantly), and it comes with a monster 45 Day Money Back Guarantee! 

Follow the steps in this program and you will see website traffic like never before.  If you don't, get your money back, its as simple as that.  I'm keeping mine.

phpLinkDirectory Version 3.3 Has More Bang for the Buck!

phpLinkDirectory was already among my favorites as a potent web directory script, but with the latest update to Version 3.3, these guys have outdone themselves.  Mounting an offensive on every other directory script on the market, the phpLinkDirectory (phpLD) is now a fully functional CMS platform where you can Blog, write articles, have visitors submit articles, and more.  The features are too many to list and the phpLD website doesn't do their list of features justce, that's for sure.

For a list of the incredible amout of features in this script, go to their features list page and you'll see the amount of flexibility and functionality this script has.  The support forum is probably one of the most comprehensive I have seen for a directory script.  The only down side is you have to pay $10 for full unrestricted access.  That shouldn't be a problem because if you leave the phplinkdirectory.com link in the footer, the script only costs a measly $25.

I am preparing to upgrade a few of my sites to the new version from 3.2 due to the multitude of additional features the new version carries.  The amount of new templates arriving on the scene for version 3.3 is steadily improving due to the massive popularity of the software.  

If you are going to choose a directory script for your new or existing site, I would definitely choose phpLinkDirectory.
