The
Google Snatch 2 Manual
The Google
Snatch 2
Manual was written by Mo Latif, who we've never heard of before. He
certainly likes to talk about how popular he is on his sales page, but
the point he is trying to make is that a successful product can make
you popular and even famous in certain circles.
Whether he's
well
known or not, all we care about is if all this material is any good,
and
will it actually work for you?
Advanced Traffic Experts
Stay Away
Google
Snatch 2 is no
doubt a meaty guide. In fact, there's probably some aspects that you'll
never focus on because you're too busy working on the other stuff.
Our
Immediate thought
was, "If an experienced traffic guru bought this, they would be a
little disappointed to say the least".
The reason
we say that
is because although the guide is clearly comprehensive, there is no way
that it offers anything groundbreaking in terms of free traffic generation methods.
...but
that depends on you
You see, we
don't know
what level you're at with your internet marketing business. You could
be a total beginner or an age old veteran! So ultimately, whether you
extract value from Google Snatch 2 all depends on how much you've
already learned about free traffic generation before.
No Stone Unturned
With that in
mind,
what you really should know is that overall, Google Snatch 2 is a beast
of a guide, that covers every aspect of free traffic generation that
you need to know.
Google
Snatch 2 covers
all of these major traffic generation areas:
SEO
Offsite and Onsite
Directory
submissions,
Landing
page conversions,
Blogging,
RSS
marketing,
Social
bookmarking,
Video
marketing,
Audio
marketing,
Groups,
Classified
ads,
Yahoo
answers
...and
numerous Web 2.0 social websites.
For the
absolute new
starter to internet marketing, that list alone might be enough to put
you off, and for the more experienced marketer, you might think you've
got every base covered already by looking at that list.
Mind Maps and Blueprints
change these
misconceptions
Sure, as a highly
experienced internet
marketer, you may know a lot of what's inside this guide already but
the introduction of mind maps certainly helps to clarify the entire
free traffic generation process.
Google Snatch Mind Maps
and Blueprints
The mind maps allow you to
plot the
entire flow of free traffic from birds eye view.
As a newbie, the
accompanying mind maps
and blueprints allow you to consume the masses of information in a much
more realistic fashion.
We truly think that the
blueprints and
mind maps are a saving grace for a product that would have been too
much information overload for the newbie and nothing tangible and
actionable for the more experienced marketer.
If you're a total newbie
to internet
marketing, Google Snatch 2 will open a world of traffic generation
methods that you never thought possible. If however, you have been
studying and learning all of the free traffic generation methods for a
considerable amount of time, then your benefits will come more in the
form of organizing the traffic tasks and traffic flow (using these mind
maps and blueprints) without getting your head tied in knots.
Google Snatch 2 Guru
Success Formula
The guru success formula
was a little
disappointing, as we were expecting more written material. However, the
success formula is actually another separate mind map that outlines
that exact process of free traffic generation that can yield the best
results.
This is only an addition
to the main
product, but we felt it didn't need to be and was possibly added
separately to enhance the perceived value of the product.
Either way, a new starter
can take this
very simple blueprint formula (that is laid out in a map style diagram)
and mould their entire early days of internet marketing around this
system to cut straight to the big traffic and easier sales.
If you've already got a
working system
in place that you can expand upon, then this element of the course will
hold little value to you, especially if you've got plenty of internet
marketing experience.
Google Snatch 2 FREE
Targeted Traffic
Report
This additional report was
quite useful
actually. This is very concise and contains a real, proven approach to
finding places where targeted traffic is just waiting for you and your
offers! This system is actually pretty fool proof and has been
previously documented by some well known gurus in recent months.
Again, to the more
experienced internet
marketer, this may not be particularly groundbreaking information.
However, to someone new to the game, or struggling to find the right
traffic without having to pay for it, then this short little add on
report can really help boost you in the right direction with little
extra work involved.
We particularly liked the
part about
using certain data research sites to fully understand your market and
how to find more people in more places. I haven't personally thought
about this approach before and will certainly adopt this market
research aspect into my current marketing approach online.
Here's What We Didn't Like
About Google
Snatch 2
The first
thing that
struck us about the manual itself was the first chapter. There seems to
be a lot of unnecessary babble about picking the right domain name.
Sure, we see his point about choosing a name that people will hopefully
remember, but in all honesty, that doesn't always matter and you should
not get caught up in that mindset for too long...or you might end up
never buying a domain name at all!
Painfully slow and basic
start
Unless you're
a total
newbie (or someone that hasn't really grasped the main concepts of
internet marketing yet) then we would like to warn you that at the
beginning of the guide, you might feel like you're being sent back to
beyond the basics. For example, some of the early paragraphs in the
first section actually speak to you as if you've never heard of the
internet before, let alone making money on it!
Nothing
new unless
you're new
As we
progressed
through the guide, into the next section which talks about SEO (search
engine optimisation) we still found that although the information is
rock solid, there is nothing on offer for the well versed marketer.
If you've
struggled to
grasp the foundations of SEO, such as title tags, back links, keywords
etc, then this will be very well suited for you.
What we did
like was
that it talks about creating content for the search engines on a much
more realistic and sensible level than we have read before. It was
refreshing to see somebody talk about creating pages of content with
the right, human approach...not just someone trying to calculate their
way to the top of the search engines.
Skims
a little too
often
As we made my
way
through the guide, we couldn't help but feel that some sections were a
little thin on the ground. Certainly not useless, but we feel that
certain parts were in need of some examples or further explanation.
This was not the case for all the sections, with the real meaty stuff
still holding lots of content and examples. We just wish the
consistency
was there for the smaller, more brief tips.
Not suited for the lazy
We feel bad to
criticize a guide that requires you to actually do some work, but we
guess it could be deemed as a negative point by some people who want an
easy ticket to free traffic and essentially, free money.
Look,
whatever you do
online that generates life long free money is worth working for. To be
honest, there is no other way. However, it's important to realize that
Google Snatch 2 is jam packed full of free traffic generation methods
that will require some real work.
You're not
going to
get a push button cash machine here, but what you are getting is a real
guide full of real traffic generation methods. Sure, the sales page is
hypey, but the content inside the guide is genuine and certainly well
proven.
Ultimately, this
stuff works...
Of course, there's nothing
to say that
once you're earning a nice income using the system that you can't
reinvest that profit back into outworkers and freelancers to get the
job done for you, right? After all, that's exactly what the big players
do. All you need to do is provide the blueprints taken directly from
this course and you can get people working exactly how they should,
making full use of your money!
Here's What We Did
Like About Google Snatch 2
Clearly, this course is
designed for new
starters or anyone struggling to get even he smallest amount of traffic
to their sites (i.e. less than 250 people per day).
But even as an experienced
marketer
myself, we can clearly see where the real value lies in this course,
even if we knew some of the material already...
Complete A-Z removes
guesswork
We think one of the most
important
aspects of getting things done (and properly) is by following a step by
step guide. Although you can pick out parts of this guide and make them
work for your existing business, it is also designed in such a way to
allow you to start literally right at the beginning and work your way
through step by step.
If you're a newbie, this
format of
learning will truly get you to the financial level you're aspiring to.
But as we previously mentioned, be prepared to work for it.
Wordpress simplified
If you've ever messed
around with
Wordpress or been told how important it is for generating lots of free
traffic, but stalled every time you've tried to set it up and make it
pull this traffic for yourself, then Google Snatch 2 kindly removes the
pain of Wordpress.
Nice additional advice on
converting
visitors into buyers
As a traffic guide, we
weren't expecting
any information on actually getting your visitors to buy something from
you. we found this a nice touch as Google Snatch 2 does a great job of
explaining how to add suitable amounts of call to action text, where to
add it, what to say etc, in order to get the visitor to click on the
money links. We think this is as equally important as actually getting
the traffic in the first place, so we salute Google Snatch 2 for this
added info.
Easy to read , digest and
learn
Although we did mention
that Google
Snatch 2 was a hefty guide, there has clearly been a lot of effort put
into the delivery of the information.
We think without the easy
to read layout,
the blueprints and the mind maps, this product would be too
overwhelming and stuffy for most people.
Luckily, they have managed
to deliver
the goods in such a way that you can either quick reference them with
the blueprints (which are a great idea) or you can easily skim through
the main guide itself and find the exact traffic generating strategy
that you're looking for.
Nice tips list adds even
easier quick
reference
In most of the sections,
there is a lot
of information that is generously poured out. By the time you've
reached the end, you've absorbed a lot of free traffic generating
techniques. What made this guide even easier to digest was the summary
at the end of each major section which basically lists all of the key
tips you need to take and use for that particular method.
Again, this careful
attention to the
delivery and readability of the guide makes it easy to absorb and use
the masses of info contained within.
Web 2.0 demystified
Before we picked up this
guide, the world
of Web 2.0 marketing was a big, blurry barrier.
Google Snatch made the
whole process of
modern marketing via Web 2.0 sites a real breeze. Not only are the
concepts more clear, but there is real actionable advice that we can
use
to pick out masses of traffic from these places.
Until now, we thought Web
2.0 marketing
was a myth or fad, but Google Snatch 2 has opened our eyes to how easy
all of this social marketing can be when you have a simple system. We
think the mind maps and blueprints really helped here, as otherwise it
can get a little crazy without a map and birds eye view of what you are
aiming for here.
Lots of useful free
resources
Each section describes a
technique and
series of tasks, but obviously they require you to actually go out and
deploy these newly learned techniques on various websites. Instead of
just letting you go out there and spend hours trying to find the right
websites to actually use your "secret weapons" on, you are given a
nice, very handy list of the exact sites the top marketers use to
execute these very same techniques. These resource lists are pretty
extensive and will save you a lot of time trying to build up a set of
bookmarks of sites to visit yourself.
The audio marketing
section is an eye
opener
One section really was
totally brand new was the audio marketing section. We've heard of
podcasts
before, but this section opened our eyes to a whole new world of
traffic
that is largely overlooked by so many marketers.
The best part is, there
are actual
techniques described along with the exact sites you need to use these
techniques on in order to pull in a huge flood of literally untapped,
targeted traffic. Very cool.
Summary Of Google Snatch 2
As you can see, Google
Snatch 2 is
certainly not perfect. However, what you must remember is that this is
entirely dependant on your current level of experience.
As we said at the start of
this review,
Google Snatch 2 still holds value for experienced marketers through
it's clever use of mindmaps and blueprints. So if you need to establish
a rock solid, unwavering system of driving a ton of traffic to your
site without falling off the track, then yes, even experienced
marketers can benefit from the overall Google Snatch system.
Also, there are lots of
small tidbits of
traffic generation that we picked up as an experienced marketer
that we
didn't know existed before. What you have to remember is that even the
smallest tweak to your current internet marketing techniques and
systems can make a huge difference...and that's the honest to goodness
truth.
Ultimately, we think that
newbies to
internet marketing are going to love Google Snatch. After all, traffic
is one of the hardest things to get to any website, even as you get
better as a marketer the task of generating traffic remains as
difficult as the day you started.
Therefore, with the
concise blueprints
and mindmaps, along with the easy to digest material we believe that
Google Snatch 2 is one of the most effective ways to develop a tidal
wave of traffic over time...and will be something that once learned
will be a very wealth bearing investment.
Ultimately, if you can get
traffic you
will never go hungry. Along with the conversion tactics also thrown
into this guide, Google Snatch 2 provides even the most pithy of daily
traffic figures to really soar to new levels.
All we would advise is
that
you should be
prepared to put the suggested work in in order to see results...because
although the information is solid and proven when it comes to traffic
generation, it means nothing if you don't actually set the wheels in
motion (even if you have to pay someone else to do it).
