If you’ve ever purchased a piece of PLR software for “you to do with whatever you want” then you might be interested to learn that you might have also received an unannounced bonus…
There is a hidden danger with a lot of the software sold with private label rights. PLR software in particular is more susceptible to this problem because it’s often supplied without any support.
After 6 weeks of using AdSense Gold, the AdSense Tracker script has been updated twice; one of those updates was a major milestone - the ability to track AdSense clicks made in the Firefox web browser.
With the increasing numbers of surfers using Firefox (currently around 25%), not being able to track their clicks was a growing hole in the benefits offered by the tracker.
In my own case, I’ve been using the Firefox tracking version of the script for over two weeks now and the click figures that it’s showing me still aren’t reconciling with those that Google are telling me.
Looking over a 7-day period to get around the difference between what my installation and Google think the current date is, the AdSense Tracker click figure for most domains is less than 50% of what Google is reporting. In some cases, the difference is as much as two-thirds.
The information that I’m getting from the clicks that are being tracked is really useful and gives me a good insight into the behaviour patterns of visitors (especially the ad-clickers!). However, it’s unfortunate to think I’m missing two-thirds of the information I should be getting.
An email just in from Michelle Timothy, owner of RSS to Blog, announces that there’s a sale on at the moment giving you the opportunity to own the Pro version of the software for $197 ($100 discount) and the original version for $97.
The biggest benefit to be gained from having the Pro version is that you can automatically post to any number of blogs from a single installation. The original version must be installed on each domain it’s to post to.
The main restriction with the sale prices is that they don’t include future upgrades. Fixes are included, though.

If you write and submit articles to websites or ezines on any kind of regular basis then you may already use one of the many submission tools that are available. These article submitters take the drudgery out of manual submission, but they come with an additional price over their sales tag in the form of duplicate content penalties!
Freely distributable articles can be a great way to get inbound links strewn across the web, but when you have those links embedded in the same content then the effectiveness of your articles diminishes.
The effect of having the same article distributed across a number of websites is that they may well be treated as duplicate content by search engines. This means you won’t necessarily get the maximum amount of benefit from any links that are embedded.
Could this hurt your websites ranking? If websites that republish your article are pushed into the supplemental results then most likely YES!
This is one of the biggest flaws with current article submission software. More sophisticated submitters such as Artemis Pro overcome this shortcoming by submitting a different version of the same base article to each article directory or list.
How does it do this?
Unlike some other applications that swap words for synonyms, which can result in articles that don’t read quite right, Artemis Pro works on a paragraph level.
If you structure your articles appropriately then a typical article of 6 paragraphs, tweaked a few times, can result in over 1,000 different articles that will read well because entire paragraphs remain intact. This, of course, means there’s some extra work added into the article writing and submission concept, but the potential benefits are well worth it.
Artemis Pro also automates the submission process so that articles are only submitted to relevant ezines and directories. This feature alone makes your submissions much more likely to be accepted than taking a shotgun approach that most other software uses.
This is another tool that I’m currently trialling. The concept seems sound. I’ll let you know how I get on.
Just a quick follow-up on my ‘AdSense Tracking for Exponential Profit Growth‘ post. I’m very pleased to say that February has seen me break through the $100-a-day barrier through AdSense alone; not once, but twice!
