An Authority Site Is Born

Witness the birth and evolution of a new authority site created and marketed by our team and written by two talented, professional writers.

The site, TeenCheckup.com, is, of course, a blog. The “big bang” happened this week with the site setup, new content, and initial indexing by the engines.

If you want to see how an A-List blog progresses from humble beginnings to wild popularity, this is a blog to watch. This is where we prove our methods work.

I will be posting updates here on each benchmark and success story and will try to be as transparent as possible without giving away too many of the secrets that people pay us a worthwhile chunk of money for each month.

What to watch for:

1. Links - watch them pile up over the next couple of months with Yahoo link checking.
2. Buzz - watch our professionally researched and expertly written content grab links and mentions from around the web from other bloggers.
3. Rankings - we are already showing up in the engines on keywords from the first few articles published this week. As our authority grows, watch how many keywords we’re showing up for in Google and elsewhere.
4. Traffic - I will report back here with daily unique visitor counts every so often and give hints as to how we are increasing our traffic over time.

Watch our baby grow up to be a high-traffic, profitable, respected, informative site in the online safety niche before your eyes.

What I Will Be Showing Authority Site Center Members

Members of Authority Site Center are going to be getting videos and reports that show the step-by-step development, marketing, and results along with exact keyword rankings. Basically, my “peeps” get to see how we build authority sites from the ground up in complete detail.

The map that will be laid out by watching every little thing we do to build a profitable site will be absolutely invaluable. If you’ve been wondering how we do what we do, this would be the time to join our “Authority Site Building Army” at ASC!

Free “16 Steps to Success” Coaching Launches Today

Guest Post by Sam Clark, 16 Steps to Success Coach

Just today, thousands of people logged onto the internet searching web page after web page to find a way to work from home. It can be a very difficult chore figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

More often than not, many people are confused about to how to build their business even after buying expensive internet business training programs. Every time you log on and check your email there is the latest and greatest way to get rich.

Therein lies one of the biggest problems for most people trying to develop a business online.They are looking for a magic pill that will spit money out of their computers. Unfortunately many people are misguided and waste precious time and money looking for this magic pill.

The magic pill to online marketing success comes down to the fact that there is no magic pill.

You need to roll up your sleeves and get to work. One of the ways to succeed quicker is to invest in yourself and find a good internet business training program that will show you how to properly build your business.

Choosing an internet business coaching program comes down to doing your homework on who is providing the training and what their track record is. Another aspect is what kind of support and training are they going to provide.

As you go through the training you will have many questions so you will want to have good support as well.

To build your business online by utilizing an internet business training program, you will want to find out if there are foundational principals that you can follow along with.

One of the first components is setting up your business properly and getting highly organized. You may literally have hundreds of places and resources online that you will need to access. So make sure you take the time in your early days to get yourself organized.

I found through a survey I conducted that over 86% of people skip this vital part and jump right into trying to make money online. Information overload sets in and suddenly steals your time as you bounce around the office looking for that password to a site, or trying to figure out the web address of that very helpful site you were on last week.

This is a common problem I have found that many marketers overlook and it hurts their business in a big way. When information overload sets in they tend to spin out of control and end up either quitting or looking for a new way to make money online.

Next up is market research.

To succeed online you need to make sure that the training program you decide to invest it offers excellent training in this area. Investing the time to learn how to research a market will provide you the biggest payoff down the road and help you avoid the traps that steal your time.So take a deep breath and spend some time researching to find the right internet business training program.

Look for real testimonials from people that have been through the course and you will save yourself a lot of money and also wasted time.

I crashed the server again…

My apologies to all the ASC members on server 3. The Friday Traffic Report is on a dedicated server as of this afternoon. The blackout this morning was caused mostly by FTR traffic. As soon as we moved the site the loads went right back to normal.

I promised that once an ASC site took off we’d be in touch with the owner to move you starting with the notice everyone wants to get: “you’ve exceeded your bandwidth allotment for this server.”

Today I heeded my own advice and got out of your way.

We are going to be moving some other sites as well, so watch your email. You might be getting too much traffic to stay where you are!

I love this kind of problem!

The Power of Video Syndication

My buddy Rick Butts did a video for Authority Site Center and used Traffic Geyser to syndicate it all over the freakin’ world. Thanks Rick! Here’s the video…

That’s a nice thing to have syndicated all over the major video sites. Traffic Geyser is celebrating its 1 year anniversary on Wednesday as the web’s first and still the very best video syndication service out there. For one freakin’ dollar you can see what all the fuss is about and experience what it’s like to get all this video traffic everyone is talking about, once and for all.

Of course, if you aren’t an Authority Site Center member yet, that’s something to check off your list as well. That is, if you really want some serious traffic and a true authority site.

Authority Site Center Updates

New from ASC…

We’ve been upgrading our membership services to include a lot more training and contact with coaches and staff.

New Webinar Center

We are using a a new webinar center to have more training events more frequently.  A new series of short 10-15 minute training videos will be recorded with this software.  Topics include:  Outsourcing, Content Development for Main and Remote Sites (like HubPages, Squidoo, and blog sites like Xanga).

Video Training Center

Our video training center now houses well over 100 videos from using Cpanel, to Wordpress and plugins, claiming your blog on Technorati and MyBlogLog, and Blog Marketing topics galore including exclusive “Bending the Web” training.

We have a whole section on common Wordpress Plugins.  A section dedicated to publishing on the ASC system from working with your blog to posting tactics that related to our Post and Rank (TM) technology.

Weekly Coaching Calls

We have two weekly coaching calls (Monday and Thursday) where our coaches and senior ASC members train on all facets of Research, Publishing and Marketing with the ASC system as well as answering questions you have about anything to do with those topics.

New Member Orientation

Orientation is a big deal with a site this big.  We found that people were getting lost at times and needed some guidance on where to start and how to find everything in this “library” of tools and resources.  Now with the new member orientation calls you can get on the line and get a personal tour from Program Director Sam Clark.

There isn’t a bigger, better internet marketing membership site on the Planet.  Starting off in the right direction and learning where to find the tools you need right away is a big time saver.

ASC Newsletter

Our newsletter consists of articles and training by staff, partners, and senior ASC members who have lots to teach.  It comes out once per month and is chock full of useful traffic driving, content development, and search engine marketing tactics.

Customer Support

Our support system is second to none with the addition of our new Support Director David Olsen.  Tickets are being answered and members are being helped with lightening speed, which is a major deal in the internet marketing world.

Results

Case study after case study is finding our members driving more traffic than they ever did before joining ASC, capturing more leads, making more sales, and ranking in the engines for hundreds and even thousands of keywords people are typing in to find them.  (Not just “vanity keywords.”  Real keywords people are really using to hit ASC member sites.  There’s a BIG difference there!)

There is no better time to be a member of ASC. 

With the opportunities for promotion expanding exponentially, the opportunity to become mighty confused and disorganized is also increasing for DIY web marketers.  Publishing on the most powerful, optimized platform and getting the training and tools you need to manage and grow an Authority web presence is absolutely crucial to the success of sites bringing in 500-10,000+ visitors per day.

Check out Authority Site Center today, risk free, and feel what it’s like to become a true, high-traffic Authority in your niche.

Authority Site Center Case Studies

We have a new case study available showing the results for one of our newer members. His site, Fitness Black Book, which gives out killer fitness tips, is really taking off well with over 500 visitors per day. I am impressed mostly with his mature outlook on building an authority site. It takes a certain kind of entrepreneur to develop quality into a business first rather than try shortcuts which only ever amount to short money.

Ask Your Guru If He Can Do This…

With all the grandiose stuff flying around the web today from every angle and on every kind of internet business and traffic generation tactic, it’s GOT to be hard to figure out what to do as an online business owner.

Today, I’m going to make it a lot easier for you.

Simply ask your guru if he/she can show you how to:

• Get a top 10 listing for an A-list keyword that commands nothing short of 955,000,000 search results
• Get you listings in the engines for keywords that compete with hundreds of millions of other pages
  
• Get 5000+ visitors a day in a tiny niche
• Make $10,000.00+ per month with a blog
• Not “dominate” but completely RULE a niche in any size market
• Get you up to 400-1000+ unique visitors per DAY within your FIRST MONTH
• See at a glance that 99.9% of the stuff being offered to “make you millions” is complete and utter sh**

No one marketing anything at all about internet marketing today is even close to claiming - or proving they can do any of this stuff. I guess that’s why it’s been so hard to get JVs with many of them because they’d be stupid to mail their lists about us. We’d literally steal their best customers right out from under them.
I’m tired of sitting on top of the best kept secret on the web. Authority Site Center is creating online business owners who are completely trouncing their competition and driving traffic to their sites in the MILLIONS of visitors per month.

The only reason we aren’t the only thing people are talking about on the web today is we are so passive in our marketing. We give away $197 products instead of shoving them down your throat and spamming you day in and day out with “the doors are closing” bullshit.

We have more social proof of our service and training results than 90% of the theoretical materials out there today.

Track Record

We’ve been building and refining ASC for over two years. There isn’t a product on the market today dealing with driving traffic, other than Power Linking!, that started selling 2 years ago which still sells today.

We are one of the few internet marketing companies on the web that stands behind our customers and continues to develop incredibly powerful, exclusive software and training as the web evolves rather than launching, getting sick of supporting the product, and closing shortly after.

Our product gives you a mountain of opportunity to drive very serious targeted traffic to your business, yet we charge a fraction of what we should for the services:

800 hours of Authority Site Building coaching per year - no one comes remotely close to this even for $25,000.00-$50,000.00! We do it for $97-$197 per month!!

A publishing platform and exclusive software and marketing tactics that give you “Post and Rank” (TM) ability - no one even dares claim this on even the most hype-ridden sales letter!

Hundreds of training resources - quite literally - you can count them when you get inside! - like exclusive reports on using Web 2.0 marketing tactics and specific sites, over 150 videos on our system and building an Authority presence on the web every micro detail included, and a truly professional forum where fellow Authority site builders hang out daily.

We have more staff to take care of customers than 99% of the people selling you stuff in your inbox right now.

We have invested 2 years of our lives and literally millions of dollars making Authority Site Center the best publishing and training system on the web today, bar none. No one else on the web can say that (and have it actually be true!)

People ask all the time when they hear the things above “Why isn’t everyone a member of this?” My reply is usually “I just don’t know - but it’s probably our fault for being so damn laid back about marketing it!”

Well, at least for today, I am going to get right in your face and tell you that there is absolutely nothing in your inbox that is worth 1/100th of what we offer at ASC. Absolutely, positively nothing.

You honestly don’t have a choice to make here. If you want to build a massively successful “TechCrunch” level of authority in your niche, there is no other choice out there.

This is my 10 year anniversary on the web - living the dream so many of you are still chasing. I’d wager very very few people who are trying to sell you something today, this week, this month have a track record of success like mine.

All of my usual humbleness aside - I honestly don’t know why anyone would waste another moment thrashing around on the web, spending thousands of dollars on crap that hasn’t done them a damn bit of good, when they could be building their empire at ASC.

Today I am unabashedly and damned proud of what we’ve built at ASC. So are 400 clients who got off the treadmill and started building a money-making, high traffic authority presence.

Tomorrow I will go back to giving away what most charge for and most others didn’t even know was possible in online marketing.

If I’m stretching the truth even the slightest bit, get your freakin’ money back and go tell the world Jack Humphrey is a fraud. (If it were true, you’d think someone would have done it two years ago and put ASC in its grave.)

You simply cannot be serious about your business if you haven’t tried Authority Site Center. There’s too damn much proof and buzz out there for you to be acting responsibly on behalf of your business by ignoring the best kept secret on the web one moment longer.

Sign up - either I’m telling the truth and you will begin to build a massively popular authority site or I’m pulling your leg and I’ll send your money back.

How to make money online with an authority site: A case study

There is much discussion going around about the Authority Site Center and the kind of sites we build.

Though dissent is expected, I am very much blown away how little there is compared to the praise we’ve been getting on our authority site building technology and training.

One of the main questions people ask is “Do these sites make money” followed quickly by “How much traffic and how fast?”

Steven, an FTR subscriber, has answered both questions quite well in his case study on his own experience so far with what he’s learned just from the Authority Black Book.

Traffic and profits are what its all about, otherwise why bother?

I know some “pure bloggers” are seemingly altruistic in their willingness to share for no apparent personal gain, but don’t believe the hype.

A high traffic site makes money even if you can’t tell how it is making it. Even if the author is just banking the rankings and traffic to sell out one day in a big way.

Anyway, visit Steven’s authority site and check out his case study with hard numbers for his results so far in both traffic and profits.

Then grab my free Authority Black Book and learn how you can get started on an authority site of your own!

We Melted Our Servers Again Yesterday…

Every once in awhile I will see forum posts in different places about Authority Site Center where people remark that our servers must not be very good.

If you tried to visit The Friday Traffic Report last night and it wouldn’t load, you might think so as well.

Actually this site and many of our members’ sites are hosted on a server that is the top of the line server from LiquidWeb.com.

It has 4 cpus and 4 gigs of ram!

You can’t get a better server than the one I am on.

So why the downtime yesterday?

In one word: Traffic!

This site gets about 4500-5000 visitors per day. There are a few sites on this server that get far more than that.

And the average ASC site on this server is getting 200+ visitors per day minimum.

Most members are still wondering why they are getting so much traffic with our system, but they aren’t complaining about the mystery. They are just happy they’ve finally found something that works as promised.

Members are driving targeted traffic because of the SEO friendly and proprietary software we’ve developed over the past 2 years.

Another comment that is common in forums outside ASC is that “ASC is just Wordpress and some fancy plugins. And I can do that on my own without signing up for a membership there!”

It’s probably our fault that misconception continues to linger. Somehow we’ve not communicated just what it is that makes the above statement 100% wrong.

Partially it is because we don’t want corporate spies trying to get ahold of the secrets, and part of it is because our sales material buries the facts in the overall explanation of why and how we can generate results for our members that no one else has been able to touch.

That’s why we attract a whole different crowd of people to ASC. And we like it that way.

You have to become a mature, business-minded person to succeed on the web. While everyone is tempted in the beginning to get into “too-good-to-be-true” fluffy “business opportunities,” there comes a time when men separate themselves from boys and get real about what they want out of life.

Those in the small percentage of people who “get it” are members of ASC. They are workers. They have their own ideas for their online businesses and don’t follow crowds and fads (anymore) that always end up watered down and fruitless for everyone involved.

The most successful sites on the web are owned by people who split off from the pack and did something, as Seth Godin would say, Remarkable.

That’s why when people follow trends and fads where everyone is encouraged to jump aboard and do the same thing as everyone else, whether MLM or spam sites, thousands of people without the benefit of any business experience whatsoever get duped and get mad.

You see, if you have any business experience at all, you know that there are rules involved in success. Most people selling business opportunities and schemes are breaking those rules knowing most people will fall for them.

You never EVER get something for nothing.

You never get true secrets to success and wealth for pennies on the dollar.

People who come to us at ASC are tired of all that and are doing something for their future that cannot fail to pay off for them if they work and learn from the professionals who build true asset-oriented authority businesses online.

When’s the last time you heard of anyone who sells traffic driving software, training, or coaching actually blowing up the most expensive servers in existence?

You don’t hear about it because it doesn’t happen. No one follows up and tells the public about the thing they sold months ago actually working today.

Let alone something from a company that’s been growing for over 2 solid years! That is ancient on the web for a successful system of any kind!

Well, I am here today to report that our members are happy, thrilled, that they are finally building a business that works because they are finally realizing that the one main secret of success: It is buckling down and learning from people who know how authority site building is truly done.

We are buying more very expensive servers today.

Some of our members now have to get on their own dedicated servers because they are too big for shared hosting.

A note wil be going out to our highest traffic site owners to let them know the “bad news.”

That they have been so successful at what they are doing that they need to move to a shared dedicated or full dedicated server account so we can handle the bandwidth they are using!

How would YOU like to get a note like that someday?

Anyway, that should dispel the mythology floating around out there from people too scared of success to actually come in and try it out risk free. It’s not like there’s any risk whatsoever to find out first hand if we are legit or not.

(You’d think after 2 years and very public promotions, that if ASC was some kind of scam it would be easy to find credible evidence and testimony to that fact!)

What it really is is that some people are freaked out that this might just actually work, and if it does, their lives will change.

“Many people prefer to have a slick marketer blow in their ear and flirt with them, promising the moon and the stars.”

Others are simply tired of the pick-pocket circus that is internet marketing and want the truth.

The truth is that there are some honest people on the web showing others how to build and grow true, high traffic authority sites with access to one-of-a-kind software (not just wordpress templates for god’s sake) that makes the process so easy a child could do it.

Time to take the pill Neo chose and wake up to the truth. The sooner you do the sooner you can start making your move on those goals you have listed somewhere on your computer right now.
