The Search Monitor (“TSM”), an online monitoring service that tracks competitive advertising activity on paid and organic search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites, announces its release of a new affiliate tracking software that identifies affiliate marketers who are sponsoring paid search results pages.

This powerful new tool is the first and only way for internet marketers to gain insight into the scope, strength, and breadth of their competitor’s affiliate programs. The Search Monitor is able to identify affiliates who deploy direct linking tactics and affiliates who manage and operate individual web sites.

Uses for this new tool include:

Measurement of the reach and strength of competitors’ affiliate programs on paid search.
Policing affiliates for compliance with affiliate program terms of use.
Identification of competitor’s affiliates for potential recruitment opportunities.
“Affiliate programs are a smart way to gain maximum exposure on paid search,” says Troy Lerner of The Booyah Agency. “By using affiliate programs as a tactic in our arsenal, our clients can own more page real estate on SERPs. We like the new reports from The Search Monitor because it gives us incredible insight as to where our affiliate efforts are strong and where we need to focus more time. Our clients love it because it enables them to build strength in numbers, while at the same time protecting their brands from misuse by affiliate marketers.”

“We are excited to bring this information about the affiliate channel to internet advertisers and their agencies,” says Lori Weiman, CEO of The Search Monitor. “We are a strong supporter of affiliate marketing as a powerful way to optimize online advertising in a controlled and deliberate way”

The Search Monitor offers important information that can only be gained by careful 24×7 automated monitoring, and surfaces the information in 3 easy to use reporting sections:

Competitor Monitor gives insights into competitive bidding strategies, competitor market share and visibility, ranking on sponsored search, ad copy strategies, and promotions like free shipping, trials, or sales.
Trademark Monitor eases the tasks associated with reputation management by auto-detecting advertisers sponsoring branded keywords, use of trademarks and slogans in ad copy and display urls, and negative, positive, and neutral brand buzz on blogs, news, and web sites.
Affiliate Monitor simplifies oversight of affiliate programs by auto-identification of affiliates using sponsored search to detect violations of rank requirements, keyword restrictions, ad copy requirements or restrictions, and landing page copy requirements or restrictions.
Search engine marketing has become a critical component for advertisers. According to the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO), North American advertisers spent $12.2 billion on SEM in 2007 and that figure is estimated to more than double to reach $25.2 billion by 2011. The Search Monitor was developed to provide the tools necessary to optimize the sizable investments being made in this medium and to protect brands from competitive threats.

The Search Monitor, an online monitoring service that tracks competitive advertising activity on paid search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites, announces its release of geo-targeted monitoring. TSM now monitors 17 countries, 6 languages, and most major regions, states, and cities in each market.

Pittsburgh, PA September 9, 2008 – The Search Monitor (www.thesearchmonitor.com) (“TSM”), an online monitoring service that tracks competitive advertising activity on paid search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites, announces its release of geo-targeted monitoring. TSM now monitors 17 countries, 6 languages, and most major regions, states, and cities in each market.

Geo-targeted monitoring enables companies to watch their competition and affiliates, and to manage their reputation and brand use locally. With this launch, interactive agencies, marketers, affiliate managers, and compliance teams are able to monitor paid search, blogs, forums, news, and web sites around the world from a local point of view in countries including: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and many others. Monitoring can be conducted in English or in the language native to each country.

By gaining visibility into global search markets, companies will be able to overcome a key challenge in analyzing activity in their extended markets. Prior to the geo-targeting capabilities of TSM, an agency with clients worldwide could not effectively monitor locally targeted ads because its visibility was limited to its home base. TSM’s new capabilities provide the insights needed at the local level to protect brands and optimize search campaigns on locally.

The Search Monitor offers important information that can only be gained by careful 24×7 automated monitoring, and surfaces the information in 3 easy to use reporting sections:

1.    Competitor Monitor gives insights into competitive bidding strategies, competitor market share and visibility, ranking on sponsored search, ad copy strategies, and promotions like free shipping, trials, or sales.

2.    Trademark Monitor eases the tasks associated with reputation management by auto-detecting advertisers sponsoring branded keywords, use of trademarks and slogans in ad copy and display urls, and negative, positive, and neutral brand buzz on blogs, news, and web sites.

3.    Affiliate Monitor simplifies oversight of affiliate programs by auto-identification of affiliates using sponsored search to detect violations of rank requirements, keyword restrictions, ad copy requirements or restrictions, and landing page copy requirements or restrictions.

The Search Monitor was developed to provide the tools necessary to optimize the sizable investments being made in this medium and to protect brands from competitive threats.

“Monitoring both globally and locally is critical in benchmarking competitor advertising strategies and for watching affiliate activities online,” says Shaun Martinec, a TSM founder. “Many affiliates will carefully craft their campaigns at the local level in order to take advantage of better priced keywords or to avoid merchant detection when they are not in compliance with affiliate program terms. We find that major brand marketers are often outbid by competitors and affiliates on top terms at the local level.”

Record both audio and high-quality video to compressed mpeg4 format, upload video to Youtube from iPhone.

May 12, 2008 — DreamCatcher today announces the release of iPhone Video Recorder, a powerful iPhone oriented video recorder. iiPhone Video Recorder is a powerful iPhone oriented video recorder produced by DreamCatcher. iPhone Video Recorder records audio and video to the compressed mpeg4 format, so the recording is space saving, an-hour-high-quality recording will be a file as small as 60MB. iPhone Video Recorder boasts a frame rate up to 15fps which guarantees better recording performance. With iPhone Video Recorder, recording is easy and enjoyable, you may play back the video, download it to a computer, upload to Youtube, or send it out by email as you wish.

Because of the CPU overhead, iPhone Video Recorder encodes at the end of a recording session, and the encoding can be paused anytime and then resumed when you are convenient. It is possible to record on-the-fly, the sound is good, yet the frame rate will suffer. Besides, we offer some important settings which are configurable, such as the audio input amplifier and the video size mode settings. You can also customize the image quality, the brightness and the audio bit rate options.

We are going to update this app as iPhone firmware upgrades, and it will be made to smoothly run on 3G iPhone. We are also preparing for listing in AppStore. Registered users are entitled to permanent free upgrades.

* “Awesome work on the iPhone Video Recorder. It works really well and its great to see someone put our a smooth video recording app for iPhone.” – jmso

* “Cool! I’m indeed one of those who found it ludicrous that Apple did not include recording features on the iPhone. At $19.95, I think it’s a small price to pay considering I almost NEED this feature (for my own purposes).” – Kat Marion

iPhone Video Recorder works on iPhone firmware 1.1.x, 1.2.x, 2.0. A limited-functional trial version (recording up to 30 seconds) can also be downloaded from this web site http://www.iphonevideorecorder.com.

DreamCatcher Software Co., Ltd., set up in 2007, specializes in developing and marketing iPhone related software.

If a problem for one user is also seen by others, the common good is served by bringing the issue to wider attention. There are often simple solutions to troublesome product problems, and ThingMatch provides the consumer forum in which important information can be shared.

Just as Ralph Nader publicized problems in the Corvair and other products, and later problems in Firestone tires affected a large number of American vehicles, more recent products remain subject to problems on a small or large scale.

Now users need not wait for problems to surface at review sites since they can proactively collaborate from the earliest days of use at ThingMatch.

ThingMatch enables everyday users easily to connect with other users of the same products and services so they can efficiently share information to work around smaller problems and manage large ones that might even impact the health of themselves or family members. We set out to offer a service for the common good.

In the world of Listbuilding, it’s as if Yahoo and Google decided to work together on a search engine: Internet Marketing Master Shawn Casey and his student, Listbuilding Jedi Tellman Knudson, are bringing their “forces” together to create the ultimate Listbuilding course to help new entrepreneurs conquer their fears and build their own ‘robotic moneymaking machines.’

Brattleboro, VT April 20, 2008 — It’s like a scene from Star Wars, the one we all wanted to see: where Luke Skywalker joins up with Obi Wan Kenobi and they put their lightsabers together and team up to side-by-side against Darth Vader to clear the way for the new generation of young Jedi Knights. Shawn Casey, best-selling author of Mining Gold on the Internet, and Tellman Knudson of Overcome Everything, Inc. have teamed up to create what they call the ‘Ultimate Listbuilding course’ — appropriately named after it’s future home on the Internet: Listbuilding.com. It’s purpose, they say, is to help the next generation of entrepreneurs quickly and easily build lucrative businesses online using the most respectable, proven and long-lasting of the internet skills: Listbuilding.

Currently in pre-launch, this giant of a Listbuilding resource is scheduled to launch this spring; and if pre-launch activity is any indication, it’s going to be simply huge. At press time, the services and materials they have distributed free of charge — including step-by-step videos on how to create a site, a 24-hour “Squeeze-A-thon” that helped over 200 business owners get their squeeze pages built, and tell-all reports on how Shawn and Tellman started their own multi-million dollar businesses — have received raving reviews.

Both Casey and Knudson have incredible rags-to-riches stories that prove anyone, no matter where they come from in the universe, can make this work. “I started my company on 50 bucks and a ‘Frankenstein’ computer that was built out of other broken machines and resold,” said Knudson. “The CD drive was hanging out of the front because it didn’t work unless I held it in my hand and shook it, and the fan was so loud I couldn’t make a business call in the same room as my computer.” In his desperate search to make a living online, he accidentally found a copy of Casey’s Mining Gold on the Internet. “At the time, I had no idea who wrote it or what it was really worth” says Knudson, “I was clueless, and going further in the hole each day. But I kept at it, hoping something, someday would work.”

Then, he got Shawn Casey on the phone for just twenty-two minutes–and things changed. “Shawn told me a few things–but one of them was I had to send out these nine emails all in a row, and I didn’t want to do it; but he was ‘the master’–so I did,” says Knudson. Because he trusted his teacher, Knudson made $800,000 in profit that year alone–his first year online. Now he owns a multi-million dollar company with twelve employees, but he’s never forgotten who helped him when he was in need.

Casey, who was practicing law in back in 1995, started in a small, cramped apartment in Pittsburgh during the summer–with no air conditioning in 100 degree conditions. “I was living in an efficiency apartment that had no furniture in it, except for a table, two chairs, and a sofa that the landlord had let me scrounge from the furniture left over from previous tenants that he had piled up in the basement,” said Casey. From this humble beginning, Casey rose to become CEO of a company that made the Inc. 500 list for two years running. Yet, feeling suffocated by the corporate rat race, he wanted something more.

Then he discovered the potential power of direct marketing on the Internet. He applied his expert skills from his corporate days to this new business-form, and quickly became a master of building ‘robotic moneymaking machines’ using the internet as raw material. Today, Casey is a multi-multi-millionaire, who often runs his business while vacationing in the Caribbean (which Obi Wan would certainly have made his headquarters instead of the desert if only he’d known about it).
In all seriousness, both Casey and Knudson live a life that most people only dream of. Tellman now lives in a million dollar mansion in the woods of Vermont and works from home as well.

Casey says their inspiration and goal for this joint project is to teach other people to do the same thing they did–in half the time. The course, which will be released sometime in late April, will follow on the heels of the pre-launch materials out for viewing now, including free training videos, reports and case studies (also on video) of their previous students, who have made their own dreams come true following the advice of “the Marketing Master and the List Building Jedi.”

For more information about their upcoming series of trainings, destined to change the face of Internet Marketing, contact Kyle Battis, Affiliate Manager, or get more information at the ListBuilding.com website at eye-candy.ch
