    I get the following questions all the time:

    Does your software only work with cj?

    No, the software works with ANY affiliate program, ppc ads, etc. Basically anything you can send traffic to. :)

    Well, I can't believe I just found this thread.

    I just made my first cj sale a few days ago without even realizing.

    I'm definitely going to check out your software when I get home from w-o-r-k. (let's see if we can put an end to that, shall we? work, that is)

    In addition to the tips here - When I was first starting out coupon code promotions via CJ and learnign about SEO really helped monetize my wordpress blog. Best of luck to all new CJ affiliates!

    Hi 1 Eight...

    Just been surfing the net and it seems SEC is a combination of Doorway Wizard and GoDaddy and Media Temple? Is that right? The domains are cloaked with SEC and it provides domains and subdomains and does provide hosting too?

    If that's so, it sure is saving time, effort and money.

    Thanks for a quick response....

    You are basically correct in your statement. For the hosting, we do provide free hosting for the script, but HIGHLY suggest using your own hosting as soon as possible. Otherwise you are stuck on a server with dozens of other people doing the same thing. You have less control over the software, you can't upload any additional scripts, and you can't use any free scripts to help with link building in our forums. In other words, having your own vps or dedicated server provides infinite flexibility.

    Ok, you've piqued my interest. A few questions:

    Any limitations to running your software on a Mac? Is it browser based? Works on Safari or Firefox or what?

    Anyone using your system in conjunction with BANS? How's that working out?

    Can I start from the get-go hosting on my own server or do you not recommend that?

    I'm sure I'll have more questions......

    The software is web based, so it can be run on most linux based servers.

    Actually, we have a number of users that have started using the software with BANS, all of which are reporting very positive results.

    I definitely suggest going straight to your own server if possible. That is the best way to get started since you have total control over the application.

    Let me know if you have more questions. :)

    I just want to be sure I understand the basic gist of what you offer. This is essentially a system that will enable me to set up multiple domains that will (hopefully) rank highly in the SE's for my selected keywords. The domains I set up in your system are essentially "cloaked" and will redirect this keyword targeted traffic to the "whitehat" sites of my choosing. Is that basically it? Are the sites that your software builds designed to be read by humans, or are they just designed to be read by SE Spiders?

    You are spot on with your description. You can actually design sites that are 100 percent legitimate readable content with our software using our "custom content" builder, or you can use faster scraped content, or you can use rss feeds, or any combination of the three. It's flexible enough to do just about anything you want. For people that are into ppc with adwords you can use the custom content section to quickly build pages with high quality scores for your campaigns. You then cloak the pages wherever you want the traffic sent. The cool part here is that you can change the redirect url at any time without losing your adwords history.

    So, you can do natural search engine traffic building, ppc, affiliate marketing, ppa, pretty much anything you can come up with will work.

    On a side note, if you do sign up be sure to spend some time in the member only forums reading and asking questions. I've seen some people come on board, jump right into things without reading, then they end up doing things completely wrong because they wanted a fast buck. Take the time to learn how the tool works before using it :)

    Sounds interesting.

    Here's my question - I don't have a whole lot of knowledge and/or experience with SEO or things of that sort. Is this program newbie friendly? I'm assuming it's not completely "plug and play" (for lack of a better term), but how much do I need to know/learn in order to be successful with this?

    I have people that have started from scratch and become quite successful, I also have people that were quite knowledgeable that have joined and completely bombed. The difference between the successful people and the unsuccessful people hands down is their activity level on our member forums. Our member forums are very active with several hundred posts a day. We are always discussing new ways to use the software, experiments, things to avoid, tips, etc. The people that follow that information are always better off and more successful because of it.

    These days there are so many uses for our software that it has evolved away from being plug and play. We want to give you guys as much flexibility and room to grow, try new things, as we can. Have you ever built a web site or managed a domain before? Ever used a server or anything? If the answer is no there, then it will likely take you a bit longer because you will have a larger learning curve. Nothing that can't be overcome though if you have the time to learn some new tools.

    Thanks for replying 1Eight.....

    What's the best VPS server you recommend? I'm a total newbie to all this and will have a steep learning curve, but I'd like to join tomorrow if there's an opening.

    The good thing is I like reading, and if you've noticed I like asking questions in forums so looks like I'm about to have me some money-making fun.

    Thanks for supplying this strategy to us on DP and I look forward to a great Easter Holiday with a lot of work put in!!

    Oh I forgot, IEightT,

    can I use SEC with Landing Page Generator by Chris Koehl? It does help to create personalised landing pages.

    How difficult is it to install on a server? Are there detailed instructions that will allow someone with moderate knowledge to do the job, or is it more of a sys-admin level thing?

    Do I really need a ded. IP for each domain?
