I recently phased out the original Learners’ Hosting Plan which members got access to for years. It’s original intent was not to be a permanent hosting plan for anyone. It was to learn the ropes (“Learners Plan”)..
So newbies could get used to how to set up hosting.. learn cPanel.. learn to work with templates etc.. that’s it. Our #1 goal it to give everyone the tools to learn; how can you beat having access to an actual server and control panel to play with and learn with?
But this last year major changes occurred when one of the bonus memberships Blast Members got access to added Web Hosting and a Web Builder: Ezy Websites
..so now anyone that joins get access to the Ezy Websites Hosting Plan and Web Builder (so the original learners plan became redundant)..
This plan includes:
- Bandwidth 40 Gig
- Diskspace 500 MB
- 5 Add-On Domains
- 5 Databases
- Control Panel – cPanel
- Fantastico Pre-Installed Scripts
- And many more bells and whistles!
No excuses. Not only can a member join and learn Affiliate Marketing, PPC and how to research and find profitable niches.. but they don’t even need to buy hosting getting started!
And of course, all plans are upgradeable if needed down the road.
That’s news.

When you start reading about Adwords Tracking do your eyes start to glaze over? Your mind wanders?
For me tracking is one of the most important topics as a Search Marketer and I personally find it very interesting and know it to be one of the most impacting skills to learn as a PPC Marketer. The day I started paying more attention to it and applying it to all aspects of my business is the day I started to see real progress in the ‘profits’ department.
The trouble is there are so many things regarding Google Adwords tracking to learn. Google provides you a large set of data you can act on; you can never accuse them of holding back in that department.
The trick is learning what to pay attention to, figuring out what’s most important, how to track everything, what tools to use and how to filter all those stats so you can apply them in beneficial ways to your campaigns.
A good friend of mine online I’ve known for a few years, Adriana Copaceanu, contacted me this last week and asked if I wouldn’t mind answering some questions for her readers on her new blog (My Online Business Journey) regarding Adwords Tracking. I said, “Sure!” I knew tracking was a big topic, but here was a chance for me to help others understand the big picture and boil tracking down so it’s easier to understand and tackle.
After answering the questions it essentially turned into a 5 page report! So Adriana decided it would be best to break them up into parts and topics for better discussions on her blog.
I’ll post a link to each part here so you have them in one place. To understand tracking I believe you also have to understand how each level works from campaign to keyword. So you’ll not only learn what tools I use and recommend to track various things, but also what I believe you should pay attention to, how to decide what tools to use or start with and the importance of each element.
Here’s our Series on Adwords Tracking:

Part 5:

Part 6:

Part 7:

Great posts if you are interested in learning more about this topic and how to approach the myriad of tracking options and all the stats you have access to in your Adwords Account!
I hope this information helps! Good Luck!

One of the greatest things about those using the Blast Method (Our Adwords & Affiliate Marketing Methods) is that we have a great, diverse community that loves to help each other out.
Today I’m going to talk about our latest contribution by a member: FlashPPC
How many programs have you signed up for and were left hanging? OK, I got the info and training, but now where’s the support and community to help me with this?
THAT.. is not a problem with Blasting! Not only do you have myself and my team to help you, but you also got an active community contributing and helping…
..not just contributing content wise, but over the last few years several have stepped up to develop tools to help in the launching of Blasts.
The latest contribution by a member takes this to a whole new level!
Enters… FlashPPC.

Let me just tell you.. I thought I had Blasting about as fast as I could get. I was using a text file to build my keywords, links and ads… some great spreadsheets, a great keyword manipulation tool (which I still use, but not in the Blast Stage)… those things combined with the Adwords Editor, I could crank out Blasts pretty quick – about 5 Campaigns every 3 hours or so.
Or so I thought… Hendra, the creator of FlashPPC, did the equivalent of breaking the Four Minute Mile with Blasting. Just when you thought you couldn’t do it faster, here he comes along.
Quick.. fast.. and on top of that it consolidates everything! I also thought I had things consolidated as much as possible.. wrong. FlashPPC eliminated my text file and spreadsheets. It also allows me to save my work to reference later.. all in one file!
You just follow the process.. get your campaigns ready using FlashPPC and then copy and paste everything into Adwords Editor — Done!
It couldn’t be easier… And it’s all done in a FLASH!
So it’s worth your time to check this out.. he’s also not charging an arm and a leg for this which is awesome! The time it will save you — you’ll make back your investment (and that’s what it is.. you are investing back into your business) in a very short time.
Learn more about it here: Flash PPC
Speed is the name of the game in this business… the quicker you can launch your Campaigns, the quicker you’ll find profitable markets and products to expand in to. It’s a numbers game… always has been and always will be.
The more you get out… the quicker you will see results.
Enjoy this new tool.. & Good Luck Blasting!
