OK, I just finished reading Google Sniper by George Brown and it took me 3 sittings to go through and review all 99 pages.

First off let’s verify some claims from their sales letter

Can you set up automatic money-making mini-sites in 2-3 hours with this system?

Yes, I know this for a fact and could probably do it in 35 minutes if I knew something about the niche and product(s) I was going to be promoting

Is a Google Sniper site completely 100% done after the 2-3 hours of set up?

No, it will more likely be 2-3 hours of set up (for WordPress newbies) then an additional 30 minutes to add/publish the final content piece. For someone like me it’d be a total of one hour to make a site like this.

Some questions users might want to know about the income claims of $15,000.00/month from Sniper sites:

Can you make 15k/month doing this?

Answer #1 -

I have one sniper-style/authority site that makes #1,000.00/month on autopilot and the income increases a little bit each month, so technically 15 of these would be tantamount to a 15k/month income.  however, that site requires a ton of work for me but I love doing it and would do it for free just to help people out, so I probably spending more time educating on that site than I do selling.

Answer #2 – Yes, if you do your research properly and make a lot of these sites

What does George Brown’s Google Sniper ebook course tell us that’s new?

Kind of hard for me to answer that since I don’t know what i sin your head, so let me explain to you what the course covers without giving away all his content:

1- Finding a niche and it’s related keywords (this is ALWAYS the first and most important critical factor for your site’s success)

2- How to build these sites (the video modules cover this well and this info is available everywhere for free anyways)

• Why use wordPress to build sites
• Installing WordPress
• What plugins to use, how to install them, using and configuring plugins
• Designing the site
• Finding Free themes, what themes to use for certain niches

3- How to make your site sell

To me this was the real golden nugget of this course and George knows it, and even says so on page 35 of 99.

• If you build a site and nobody comes to it that means you did poor niche research, right?
• If you build a site and people come to it but don’t buy that means you aren’t convincing your site readers to buy from you, right?

The Pre-selling for 20% Conversion Rates section is something a LOT of people need to know and understand because I see a ton of people who have really crappy sites and content that I’d never even think about buying form because their content sucked, big-time.

Note: How can site content suck?

• No calls to action
• Overly pushy calls to action
• Site content didn’t make me a believer in the benefits of getting the product
• No claimed or proven proof that the product works (see bullet point above)
• …and sometimes the bonus is just terrible (unrelated + useless addition to product)

Chapter 4- SEO stuff for getting free traffic and dominating in the search engines

I know SEO pretty well and everything he says here is true, although I could add in a few things that could make it better, more powerful and more useful.

In chapter 4 of Google Sniper George writes about gathering keyword lists together using free tools, but the NEW thing I see here is he’s talking about using LSI-based keyword research.

True/False…?

He writes that getting a keyword-based domain name is the #1 most important SEO aspect to your Google Sniper site.

TRUE

He says you can extrapolate a list of related keywords to use for LSI and eventual easy rankings using Google free Keyword Rearch tool

TRUE

He says Google’s keyword tool is notoriously inaccurate when it comes to saying how many times a word is searched for each month because Google includes search partners in its volume numbers.  Therefore you should shave off something like 20% off the search volume counts.

TRUE ( I was happy to see someone else besides me say that.  I said that here a long time ago)

Chapter 5 – Cloaking Affiliate Links

This was a brief and important chapter that shows you how to make cloaked affiliate links at no cost to you and it’s pretty easy to do.  Good thing to add in here, and something a lot of marketers, myself included don’t do (cloak aff links)

Chapters 6 +7 go over creating these sites step-by-step and then talks about the site promotion angle of things

This is where I could save you a lot of time and teach HIM and/or you a thing or two about SEO and backlinks generation, but since these sites by their very nature don’t need a lot of backlinks or promotion, what he wrote here is sufficient for niches with low-to-medium SEO competition.

Chapter 8 – What everyone really wants to know, does this work and can it turn into a 6-7 figure yearly income?

It works for him, apparently, but will it work for you?

Will it work for me with the 4 new Sniper Sites I’m going to build for this Google Sniper Case Study?

That remains to be seen, but this is definitely a good ebook to get just for the Pre-selling chapter alone.

Moving forward, I will reveal the 4 niches I decided on then make a 2-post case study to wrap things up here

I decided to do a Google Sniper review at the request of about 20 subscribers so here goes…

What is Google Sniper?

On the outset/first glance it looks like another hyped-up Clickbank Product showing you how to make 6-7 figures/year using George Brown’s methods for making mini-sites that make sales for you on complete auto-pilot.

Since the methods involve using WordPress and I have a few automated sites doing this already, I feel qualified to tell you whether or not this ebook can teach you this.  And if the ebook is no good, then I’lll teach you what I do to make sites that can get built in 2-3 hours and make automated sales…

With Google Sniper you make affiliate marketing sites focused on one product or targeted terms using a variety of basic SEO methods to get ranked highly for those targeted “money” keywords.

Does Google Sniper work?

Can’t tell you that just yet since I just bought the ebook but what I can tell you is that mini-sites devoted to selling/promoting just one product will work for making automated sales.  However, you will need to make a whole bunch of these sites in order to see the Promised Land of the sales letter’s $15,000.00/month income.

To me that’s not a downside because massive action equals massive success if you’re doing the right things in the first place.

I do nothing half-ass!!! pardon my french…

When I review something I do it whole-heartedly yet selectively, so my Google Sniper review will actual be a series of posts dedicated to reviewing Google Sniper.

NOTE: Have I used the word Google Sniper too many times in this post, ya think? Geez…

Well, go to Google and search for Google Sniper or Google Sniper Review or Google Sniper bonus and tell me where my site is listed in the rankings… without any backlinks that is…hidden SEO lesson for you there.

If I’m not highly ranked yet it’s either due to:

• The other sites all have the keywords in their domain names
• The other sites did a better job of on-page and off-page SEO

Quick SEO Tip:

If you want to promote something like a product name but don’t want to buy a domain name in order to get the easy rankings, then you should make a category named whatever the product name is that you’re reviewing, then add multiple posts to that category.  This is like making a mini-site within your larger site (if you own/have/maintain one that is…).

Idea: I haven’t done any research or testing with this idea yet, but it might be powerful…

It might be worth it to create add-on or subdomains to your main site with the main keyword you’re targeting as part of the domain name.  So…instead of getting new domain names for every product you want to create a series of posts on, you could try installing a new blog on a domain named productnamekeywordhere.danielmcgonagle.name.

This way, your site inherits all the link juice your main site hopefully already has and might make it easier for you to spend less money on new domain names without having to shell out 9 bucks each time you build a new site.  Just an idea…

Who cares where my post is ranked for the term Google Sniper?

Well, I see a lot of “reviewers” who have the words “Google Sniper” in their domain names acting as if getting page 1 rankings for those words is something impressive..

It’s not, and it’s easy to do, and it’s all part of what G Sniper espouses for effective SEO tactics.

Moving forward, this review series will go over the quick start guide, the manual and all the video modules, to be followed b a case study with 3 sites I will build as part of this comprehensive review.

The reason I picked Google Sniper out of all the thousands of other Clickbank products I could have done review son is the concept and method is solid, is something I’ve been meaning to teach anyways, and if the product is crap then I will take care of you by making some blog posts and the case study to show you how mini-sites can crank out auto-sales for you all day long (if the traffic is there).

Wanna see some of my product-related mini-sites and how I do it?

Then go…

• here (page 1 for a very competitive term it seems),
• here (page one and top positions for almost all variations of the 4-5 keywords I was targeting)
  
• here (page 1, position #2 right now)
• here,(page 1 and top positions for almost every keyword I was targeting)
• and here,(this one’s not doing too well yet, but will be page 1 and top positioned when I have time to get back to it)

Analyze everything you see on those sites.  There’s good content, a good domain name, an optin box, and a follow up newsletter.  That’s “how I roll” when I make mini-sites.

ALL of those sites make money and I probably spent way more time on them than I had to because I was/am trying to deliver note-worthy quality content on the site itself not just writing pre-selling content of little to no value (mistake?)

NOTE: Some of those sites are works in progress since it does take some effort to provide valuable content that pre-sells the products being touted…

Is there going to be a Google Sniper bonus?

That remains to be seen, the official Yes, get this, or No, don’t get this will be a few weeks away so please remain patient
