Hi Bee
If you want to get a refund please email me…I give them the same day in most cases (with the rare exception of when I can’t find out who ordered it - many of the people who ask for refunds use an email not connected to their paypal account, without giving their name, and then take a bit to get back to me with their account details when I ask for them)

Don’t get me wrong, I think there is nothing wrong with this ebook. The SEO pro is clearly not the market though. Intermediate users still can benefit from it.
So if you’re a normal webmaster get it.

I have read his book. For myself, I don’t see anything I do not know before. For people who already know SEO, its really no point in getting the book.

However, for complete beginnners, its a good introduction, and its updated.

So I recommend it for beginnners but not for those who is already in SEO

I thought the book was excellent. It was well written and well put together with lots of links and sources.

I think it’s kind of funny that you read a book and then want a refund after, that’s kind of absurd.

I don’t know how the author of this post expects to sell an SEO book to people coming from Stumbleupon, that’s just funny.

Well, don’t ask me about Aaron Wall.. :-(

Bought his product. It wasn’t what I expected. Knew most of the relevant stuff already & the rest was just padding. I tried for THREE MONTHS to get a refund & he just ignored my e-mails.I still haven’t got a refund.

Maybe if you’re going to try be an affiliate,

1.do so for products which stick to their guarantees for starters, (i.e. have integrity); and

2.products which tell people something they don’t already know….

People are probably onto Aaron Wall’s gig already… hence your lack lustre sales. He’s probably been been relegated to status of white noise already.. people just zone it out.

Just my view. Good luck.

“Nobody is interested in SEO, people read my blog because I’m so funny”

Well, the last part anyway. ;)

I think maybe the comment about putting up a free tool might be your best bet.

Hello Aaron,

thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog personally. Indeed I wrote an article introducing the SEO Book and the other products so I’m with you on that. It’s rather what the others said: I preach to the converted as my readers are mostly beyond the SEO Book like myself or own it by now.

When John Chow posted about SEO Book he sold many copies of it. Largely because his review did not look or feel like an ad.

Most of my top selling affiliates integrate the ads into the content area and provide it as more than an ad.

I am a big fan of editorializing ads to add value to them. If you are advertising something tell me why I should be interested in it instead of just sending me over to a salesletter…like talk about your experiences with the product and why you value it. Link the ads to that page and then link out to the affiliate product from that page.

The smaller each step of commitment or blind transfer of trust is the higher the conversion rate should be. I believe that is one key, and the stuff PaymentBlogger said was spot on as well.

I said I’m not a blogger :) Anyway not in the regular sense of the word.
And I do as everyone should. Build some strength on site and then enable links.

All links are stored in database and will be enabled as soon as the site puts on some muscles :)

PS: I don’t comment for links. I just put on a link when there’s something relevant on my site. I never even look if one has / does not have nofollow enabled.
