Hi everyone, I’ve been a little busy these days, I still am, but I took the time to write a little article on internet marketing trip.

I wrote about Dean Hunt, a buzz marketer I really like the style and work. Dean made some very valuable resources available for download and for free. You shouldn’t miss that, I don’t tell you more than that, check my article Free Web Traffic Resources From The Buzz Marketing Guru.

Dean gently left a comment and pointed that I didn’t have a contact info page at imtrip.com and here too ! That’s corrected now.

I’m still working on the website I told you previously and I think I now found my rythm of work for this one. I have to keep adding content, build some links and traffic. I’ll reveal it as soon as I make my first sale with it.

For those who also read about the merchant who still doesn’t answer me for one of my visitor who asked a discount for an order of 50 of their article, I still didn’t get answered. That sucks ! I wonder if I have to call them, not sure if my English is so good when spoken, even if I already had to do so in the past.

Today I received some papers in my mail box concerning my business and… professional taxes I have to pay.

Grrrr…

In response to my previous post, today I am still in a preparation phase of a new project and continued my… work.

I’ve found more merchants that automatically approved my application to their affiliate program. The website is ready, I started to add more content to it, I need to build some links and drive traffic now. As soon as all is well rolling, I’ll put it here the website.

As a rule of blogging : frequency is something I can’t escape from, so I post here once a day (now) and just blogged at Internet Marketing Trip too.

I also just remembered I had to add Google Analytics to all the new websites I have created. For those who don’t know, Analytics is a tool which allows you to track traffic on your website. You know from which page your visitors came from, where did they click, what keywords lead them there.

Of course it gives you the number of visits and page views, and where are your visitors from. Analytics is free to join, so don’t hesitate it’s really useful. You will learn what your visitors like and then it’s much easier to improve yout website.

So for those who don’t know : I’m French, and the iPhone will be available the 29th of November here (4 days left) .
First TV commercial is running and I can’t prevent myself from thinking about one of the greatest article ever written online. Please don’t think it’s just about flaming Apple, cause the author also does it for Microsoft too.

Here is the article original page : The iPhone is a Piece of Shit and so is Your Face

It’s just a review in direct and explicit words, comparing the Apple last toy and the Nokia E70. But for internet marketers this is also an excellent example of buzz marketing, if you check Digg, it’s been dugg more than 15′000.

No doubt words can bring traffic, it’s a “How to make people talk about you” proof.

So, if you didn’t understand the article : buy a Nokia E70, it’s cheaper and better, the iPhone sucks. (Personally, I want the Sony Ericsson K810i, or K850i).
