I am currently enrolled in the Arbitrage Conspiracy PPC/CPA course. I am going to review the course on a week by week basis. First, let me say that I think the design and pace of the course is superb. There is enough content to keep me busy every week, and in most cases, the questions I come up with while doing my "homework" are answered by the following week's material. Second, I respect what Aymen and Emmanuel are doing with Arbitrage Conspiracy, so I won't be revealing any specific course content. Third, I will provide my honest opinions. Fair enough?
As I write this, we are finishing up week 6 of the 13 week course. I will post a complete article covering each week in detail. Here, I will provide a quick overview of all content presented to date. Every week there are usually between 8 and 12 videos posted on Monday, and a 60 to 90 minute webinar on Thursday that is devoted to questions and answers.
So far we have covered in week 1, Mining Golden Nuggets, which is finding and testing profitable offers on our affiliate networks, and the Jumpstart Guide which is an overview of the process. One minor criticism here; some of the affiliate networks are a little picky about who they allow to join. Aymen had stated that there would be some guidance on the best ways to get accepted, but there is none. I did my own research and have been fortunate and been accepted by 12 CPA networks and only rejected by one.
Week 2 is the Fast Tracker Module, which covers the 7 Rules of Offer Engagement, Niche Selection Tips, and Ad Copywriting techniques.
Week3 is the Traffic and Keyword Intelligence Module, covering 7 different techniques to drive targeted traffic to your offers. Iframing your offers on your own website is presented, and the source code provided.
Week 4 is the Campaign Cranking Module, which presents tools and techniques for *quickly* generating campaigns and posting them to your Google AdWords and other search engine accounts.
Week 5 talks about Website and Landing Page strategies, including the 6 Keys to Golden Landing Pages to help increase your conversions rates and therefore your profits. They also reveal a very powerful Powersqueeze technique to start building an email list while making money from your offers! Mining Golden Websites rounds out the week.
Week 6 is the Pro League Testing Module where we learned about testing everything; Ad Copy, Landing Pages, Domains, CPA Networks.

Have you ever been confused by a diamonds characteristics and how they are graded? Hopefully this will help. A diamond's color (or really the absence of color) is graded on a scale of D to Z with a D-color diamond being absolutely colorless. D-color diamonds are extremely rare and are more expensive, while diamonds of lower color grades get progressively less expensive. So how does understanding the diamond color scale translate into information that you can use to make an informed buying decision.
Diamonds with a D, E, or F color grade are considered "colorless" diamonds. A diamond will reflect the color of the metal in which it is set, therefore a diamond with a colorless grade of D, E or F should be selected when a diamond will be set in platinum or white gold. In other words, it doesn't make sense to spend the extra money for a colorless diamond if it is going to be set in yellow gold because the diamond will reflect the gold color of the setting. On the other hand, diamonds in the "near colorless" range of the color scale, which includes diamonds with a G, H, I or J color grade, are ideal to be set in platinum, white gold or yellow gold and represent a good balance between quality and value. In fact, the large majority of diamonds used in diamond jewelry today are of a G or H color because these colors offer the best combination of quality and value. Diamonds with a color grade of K or less will start to show hints of yellow or brown and are considerably less expensive than higher color grades.
Each diamond is unique, so there is a diamond for every budget. Here is a good example of the characteristics of (1) a high quality diamond, (2) a diamond that is a good balance of quality and value, and (3) a diamond that is a good value without sacrificing quality. These characteristics are for a round brilliant diamond, which is the most popular diamond cut.
Highest quality diamonds - The highest quality diamond will have a D, E or F color grade; a FL (flawless), IF (internally flawless), VVS1 or VVS2 (very, very slightly included 1 and 2) clarity grade; a depth percentage between 60.1 and 62.8; and a table percentage between 53 and 57.
Good balance between quality and value - This diamond will have a G or H color grade; a VS1or VS2 (very slightly included 1 and 2) or SI1 (slightly included) clarity grade; a depth percentage between 58.5 and 64; and a table percentage between 52 and 60.
Good value diamonds without sacrificing quality - A good value diamond will have an I or J color grade; a SI2 or SI3 (slightly included 2 and 3) clarity grade: a depth percentage between 57.5 and 64; and a table percentage between 52 and 60. And although this is a good value diamond, you still maintain the quality necessary to have a nice diamond.
When studying diamond characteristics remember the abbreviations and characteristics used to describe the diamond. These abbreviations can be confusing at times so make sure you understand the diamond you are buying. Read the certificate prior to your purchase. This will tell you exactly how your diamond is cut. Understanding each characteristic will allow you to know if your diamond was cut by a skilled jeweler and whether or not it will have the fire and brilliance you are hoping for. Remember one more important factor, carat size does not affect quality just the price. The larger the carat size the more expensive the diamond, but careful study of all characteristics will ensure the purchase of a high quality diamond with great value.

We promise to bring you the best quality and value possible and will answer any questions you may have during your diamond ring purchase process.
The vast majority of people coming into network marketing will use a company generated website. This is for two reasons. Firstly, most people starting a network marketing business do not have enough knowledge of website building to be able to go straight out and put their own site onto the Internet. Secondly, most people who go into network marketing are basically lazy. If the company has provided something, why go to the trouble of producing your own?
The reason is simple. Most network marketing company websites are not designed with direct response copywriting in mind. They are the usual tedious websites, which just give meaningless information about the company, its products and services, usually a biography of the managing director, and all sorts of other so called information which absolutely nobody is the slightest bit interested in.
The people you will be trying to sell the opportunity to are just like any other people. They care about what is in it for them. They do not want to read all of the irrelevances on the company website. They only want to know whether the opportunity is the right one for them, and whether it is going to make a serious difference in their life.
You can still make use of a company's website by showing it to leads once they have been brought into your marketing funnel. The informational content on the website is then of interest to people who have already decided that the opportunity has something to offer them. By using your own lead generating direct response website as a way of connecting leads, and then filtering them to the company website, you are making the optimum use of resources.
It is very easy to become involved in network marketing. This is both a good thing, and a bad thing at the same time. The negative side is that it attracts people into the industry who are totally unprepared for success. What makes this matter even worse, is that the methods being taught by so many companies and distributors are totally ineffective. People go into business as lambs to the slaughter, with absolutely no chance of success, yet believing that what they have been taught will make them rich.
It is hardly surprising that failure rates are extremely high. The few who succeed will be the ones who go away and analyze their initial failure, learn from it, and come back into the business to use what they have learned. The key is learning to market effectively, and that has absolutely nothing to do with targeting family or friends.
You can learn to market effectively by developing yourself, and promoting yourself as a skilled business professional. Marketing comes down to two vital principles, the principles of traffic and conversion. You need to develop the best offer you possibly can, and you need to put that offer before as many targeted prospects as possible.
Take time to learn how to market, and you will put yourself above the vast majority of people in network marketing. You will no longer be concerned with the tried and failed methods of targeting warm markets. You will have the techniques and skills you need to grow your network marketing business on an ongoing basis.
