I have written a pitch for your Product Launch Formula dollars
It is a little special, as I am doing stuff with WordPress noone else is currently doing
Take a look here
Yeah… I am offering what I believe is a unique bonus
Expect some special content over the next few weeks… no more “slumber time”
I have deliberately published this as a separate page to highlight some of what I am doing

Nice to see your blog again! :) Wow, where are all the widgets? Is this a temporary look or shall we get used to it?
Actually I wasn’t planning on relaunching in such a raw state.
I was using the login lockdown over the last few days with a custom landing page, but for some reason the feature that allows you to exclude pages from being “locked down”, allowing you to read them, for some reason wasn’t working for me.
At least not fully
It would allow people to access RSS, and Feedburner to pick up a feed, but not get to a landing page.
I found this out about 30 mins after the doors opened for PLF (I was already running late)
Thus I debated a full site redirect to the PLF page, or opening up the blog.
As it is, I still need to get a contact form reinstated
I agree with others, this theme is really nice. What are you using for cascading comments? Lockdown or not I missed some action on this blog, as probably do many others :). Nice to see it in action again.
This is just default thematic, and I keep breaking things as I am hacking the live site with lots of custom stuff in functions.php
I have to tell you I love this theme already!
It’s the WP 2.7 threaded comments, correct? I like the way this theme is handling it.
Andy I have to say your all white wp theme is nice – Havent visited since its been like this – is it new?
Welcome back! I need to resubscribed via email, and the option seems to be currently missing. Got a link?
…and here I thought you were gone for good. I had to do a double take when I saw this post light up in my reader with the previous one saying over 9 months ago. Looking forward to the “special content” that’s coming!
While I was reading this I could’t help but think that it was going to be a cheap rip off of “million dollar napkin” turns out it’s actually unique and descent material. Nicely done mate. CPM was well explained btw
I am a fan of Ryan’s stuff, extremely well presented.
At the same time by his own admission he is not a “technical geek”
I no longer class myself as a programmer, I dabble (maybe know enough to be dangerous), I am a “marketing geek” and whilst I much prefer to use other people’s solutions when they work, sometimes the existing solutions just don’t work, and most programmers haven’t got enough “marketing nonce” to create a workable solution for the people who aren’t propeller heads.
Hi Andy, just found your blog :) Been reading for the last 30 minutes, there are some really great content here. I read the PLF it was a great read, I especially liked how u tried to address the flaws too.
Anyway thanks
It’s nice to see you back Andy. Hopefully I’ll get to find out what you’ve been planning all this time.
I haven’t encouraged anyone to look at this second page yet but it partially demonstrates the power of what I am doing

I´m a fan of this theme too, it´s “clean”, no stuff for distractions, just your juicy posts.
Good to see you back Mr. Beard. When I found your blog it was about 4 months ago , since then I’ve always been curious if you will be updating it or not.

Thanks
Ever since I found this blog I’ve been checking back in religiously, nice to see you posting again.
Hey, welcome back Andy. I like the old look of your blog than this all white background.
Well anyway, the content of your blogs have been very helpful! Continue on sharing your knowledge, I’ve been learning a lot.
The old site had a lot of white, but some elements will make their way back soon – events and timing meant I had to open the door even though there are no fittings, paint on the walls etc.
Good to see you back Andy..I will be back
I think, that he get’s the first visitor an this visitor get’s the first click on advertising. In effect it’s luck. In case it would be nice tho have 12.000$ / CPM but it isn’t.
great concept. I shall be waiting eagerly to see the further development of this.
Good to see this blog back in action. It’s been a while! I’ve been reading the older posts and have learned a lot. Thanks for coming back to give me new content to read/learn from. Love it!
Aah $12 per visitor sounds really almost to good. But i will wait for more posts about this subject to come. looking forward.
its been awhile since i last checked out your website and the look of the website looks really eerie as if something has changed dramatically and i’m not sure what it is that gives me this feeling.
Yes, I’d have to agree with the others Andy, good to see you back, always have great content on here.

Hey andy,
good to see you back.
The blog looks a bit bare now though:)
Been a while since I visited – please post more often :)
When I found your blog it was about 4 months ago , since then I’ve always been curious if you will be updating it or not. One of the greatest source of ultimate seo techniques has been restarting again.
$12 per visitor is great, but I’ve been wondering, is $12 per your affiliate site’s visitor or per visitor, you’ve sent to product page (eg. clicks or uv’s from clicks).
I also offer kinda bonuses (except that they are online casino bonuses) and I still dream for earning that much per visitor. Yes, and I use A/B and MVT testing too :)
I think they are measuring unique visitors rather tan clicks – I must admit some of those visits I wasn’t measuring effectively on my end to determine between clicks and uniques.
Theoretically there are tons of industries where they can afford to pay Google more than $12 per click from search, so it isn’t such an extreme statement, but at the same time many bloggers who publish unique information for free struggle on low paying CPM.
Whilst I didn’t publish raw traffic and conversion numbers, I wouldn’t be surprised if those numbers were close to the average per visitor value.
If you are promoting something long term, you should gain more benefit from split testing various parts of a campaign. With launches they are over too quickly, and often there is not enough data to work with.
You have raised some interesting points in this blog. You are now in my bookmarks :)
Ive been trying to monitize blogs for what seems like ages. You have given me new strength of direction to tackle the problem again.
many thanks
I realy learned something new today. Thanks for the info.
Awesome article, definitely some new-age cool stuff. I can’t wait to see where this heads. I think monetizing blogs will surely be the wave of the future.
There really is great content here and I love the theme!

Andy,
Great content, but the all white is killing my eyes. What’s in the hopper?
Hi welcome back, by the way what happen to your blog, it is look in whitening.. :)) , kidding bro..where is all the blog stuffs..??
Andy. Please keep the new white layout. I love the clean look!
Hey Andy your white WP theme is nice, an awesome article, thanks for sharing Andy.
That sounds as a lot. Is that 12 dollar a lifetime value, or the money left by wile the visitor are still on the page (or following your link)?
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of the all white you’ve got going on here, it’s a little hard on the eyes. I would recommend some dark blue or something somewhere to break up all the blankness and give they eyes a break.
Hi Andy,
This is the first time I came to you blog. I just love the white background even Google is using this plain background. This makes the web page easy to load as well as looks nice.
Wow, I would have said that this is undoable, but I see the screen shots! amazing.
My goal used to be $20-$50 ecpm. $12000 pretty much eclipses that.
I please to see a huge discussion going here. I got a good strategy about to increase visitor value. Thanks to all……….
Websites with light shades or white background always look nice to me. I visit websites for the text, not for the images and text look very clear on lightly shaded or white background.
Thanks for sharing the useful info.
