Yeah yeah, we read all about them.  Well, they are selling for $37, which is relatively reasonable.  So we decided to take a plunge and investigate what is behind this “beast”.  So we plonked another $37 of our hard-earned money from our daily routine 9-6 job (yes, we work an extra hour) and check out what the system/software is all about.

First Impression

Ok, while the member area looks organized, we think it is not exactly well organized.  It is not exactly as bad as some of those rubbish we have bought and tested though, but it could be better.  What we find lacking is a step by step guide, which summarizes what you need to do, something like one of the other products which we bought (and like actually – will put up the review on that product shortly).

Some of the information are repeated, like keyword collection etc.  Beginners may find it useful, but intermediates and advance users can essentially skip to step 3, when you are presented with an interesting software – Auto Blog Software.  For those who are not at home with computers or WordPress, this tool may help you quite a bit.  If you are a seasoned campaigner, well, you can still use it to automate some of your tasks.  There are quite a number of such software out there in the market now, some charging as high as $197 for their versions.  So the fact that  G Sneak offers this as part of the system purchased is quite welcomed.

The members site also teaches you how to build squeeze pages etc.  Ok, we have seen some blokes out there who wants to charge you $49 for software building squeeze pages, this one has it for you in the members area.

There is also this keyword generating software included.  Got to be honest with you, we have not tested the software out yet, as we rely a lot on Market Samurai on it.  The Step 5 also gives you some added bonuses, which can be very beneficial especially to the new guys on the block.

There are other sections which discusses what to do with different social media etc.

So?

Right, you may not exactly get the $83,000 per month to start off with.  However, if you are new to the block, and wants to have some instructions which you can follow and software to help you along,  G Sneak is something which can help you.  For intermediate users, well maybe you will find the tools helpful in automating some of the tasks.  For advance users, well, you probably already have got your tools, so this may not be something for you.

We will be testing out the steps and report the results in due course.

I guess the main thing you will learn from Auto Mass Traffic is the trick to get traffic to your site, for a price lower than advertising in Google.  The software they provide in the members area are not exactly software.  They are merely web apps used to collect some data from the web.  Helpful?  Perhaps, but experienced marketers will find them a waste of time.  For beginners, it is a good start to give you an idea on keyword collection.

If you already own keyword research tools, there is no purpose in those software.  That said, the information they teach in the members area is quite informative.  I find the information applicable to newbies.  More experienced marketers may find the readings boring after they discover “Oh! It’s that thing!”.  They do teach you on how to collect keywords in the shortest and easiest way, without much tools required (another reason why I find the software in the members area sub-par).

Can we get the tons of traffic they described on the Auto Mass Traffic sales page?  Well, if you are expecting to spend zero to get the traffic, you will get zero traffic based on this system.  This is not the course for you, if you are not expecting to spend a dime on advertising.

You are expected to spend some money to get your traffic, and may I add – targeted traffic, very targeted actually.  How much?  Lets say you would need at least US$100 to start off with, based on what they have suggested.  Will we get tons of traffic with the money?  Will we get a lot of commissions from deploying their methods?  Based on probability rule, I would say most likely yes.

Why I Canceled Then, You Asked?

Ok, first, the link that brought us to the sales page.  They promised us tons of freebies.  Ok, not that we need them really.   But I hate to be cheated.  So I send the sender of that sales pitch email asking for my freebies.  No reply.  Upset, I send an email to Latif.  No reply as well.  So I send a complaint to Clickbank.  They DID NOT EVEN BOTHER to reply me.  Just refund me, they say.  That is so much for your customer service Latif!  I have bought many products from you before mate, you are doing it all wrong!

If you cannot even get a reply from Latif or his support – You can FORGET ABOUT THE $500 guarantee he put up.  No way you will even smell it mate.  Buy the software/information based on what it is, as it is.  You will NOT, even if you fail miserably, get that $500.

In Short:

Go with it if you are ready to work without any help from them.

It is an excellent idea! No more article writing!  Almost all internet marketers will tell you they would not want to write articles if they can. That is why so many of them outsource it to third parties – ending up with crappy articles.

So what else does the software do?  Essentially, it goes around collect posts from EzineArticle with your specified keyword.  It will also go to ClickBank and Amazon to collect relevant products/services to be posted as ads in your blog.  Oh yes, the software works with Blogger.com and WordPress blogs, so it will work for you.

At this time of this review, the costs of the software is $77. So you will be expecting to make back your money in no time!

Right?  WRONG!

The idea is right, absolutely. I bought the software the moment it came to the market.  I did not fall for the sales page, I fell for the idea.  It was a great idea after all!  Search for articles and post to my blog, all automatically. You can even set the schedule of posting as you pleases.

Wait – Too Good to be true?  Oh well, half true.

First thing first – You need to have a current Adsense Account.  If you dont, good luck.  The blogs you created WILL NOT get you approved.  Why?  Because they are crappy, in all honesty.

You also need to have affiliate ID with Amazon, ClickBank etc.  They are easy to create and you do get approved quite easily. BUT NOT ADSENSE!  My suggestion is that you create a proper blog or have a proper web site with nice contents and all, use that to apply for your adsense account FIRST!  Use that approved adsense account for your blogs on Blogger etc.

Bugs?

The software itself has many bugs to be fixed.  Deleting of the articles which were wrongly fetched didnt work.  The software will freeze if you have too many blogs setup (I tested with 12 blogs setup on Blogger.com) and run it too many times.  The trick is to exit and start the software again, well, it will work again.  I guess it has been around 2 weeks since I purchased the software, but till now there are no announcement that there are bug fix versions coming out.  The author is probably too busy smiling now since he is most definitely making more than $4,400 per month now, considering the popularity of Auto Blog Samurai.

The software also claims to post in more than 20 languages.  That is incorrect.  I have problems using the software to post in Japanese and Chinese.  Seems to me their unicode support is terrible.

Flaws?

Yes, the software does fetch wrong articles for your keywords sometimes.  In the tests I have done, the rate is probably about 10-15% incorrect articles (wrong keywords) fetched.  I am not talking about long tailed keywords.  I tested with “diet pills” and end up getting dating related articles.  You would also need to take note that the software is fetching articles from Ezine Articles, which means you are using the content of another person, you will need to give the author proper credit, which means you are going to loose link juice to the author!  Most of the time, the authors are internet marketers themselves (Who is so free to contribute articles to EzineArticles as a hobby?  No one would do it for fun!) who are and would be your COMPETITOR!

So, when you are using the article, make sure you go through what the software has fetched for you.  11 minutes a blog they say on the sales page.  Well, if you do things blindly, you can probably get a blog set up in 5mins FLAT – yes, that is what I can do.

Use it the RIGHT WAY!

My suggestion is to use Auto Blog Samurai to collect the articles.  Use the articles as a source of information.  Use re-writers and churn out a fresh copy of the information.  For better results, you should combine information of various articles so that your article is unique.  You want to make money, you got to work for it honey, no other means.

It is still a good piece of software, they can probably improved on it and make it an even bigger success.  In the meanwhile, do not expect one click do all and make $4,400 per month.  It does not work that way.

In Short:

Worth A Shot, Use It Correctly, Don’t Expect Miracles

Update – 2010 October 27:

Ok folks bad news. Some of the blogs which we created and deployed on Blogger.com has been deleted by their auto-spam tracker.  There could be a variety of reasons on this, but we feel it could be due to the massive amounts of posts made on a single run.  For example, for each run, you usually collect a X number of articles, Amazon products, ClickBank products etc and post them based on the schedules you set.

That apparently is a no-no for Blogger, and we feel Google may take the same grim view on your WordPress blogs too.  So use it with caution.

We do not recommend more than 5 posts per day, even if you set them on schedule – hey they are using their system, it is easy for them to know if you have uploaded 2000 articles at one run and schedule them till 2015 – that is still spamming no?

To trick the system, you should post maximum about 3 – 5 articles (including all those by Amazon, ClickBank etc.) daily at the beginning,  for at least the first week before ramping it up to 7 – 10 articles per day.  You can schedule them if you like, but our advice would be to upload to Blogger.com ONLY the number of articles on a daily basis, not all at one go.

For WordPress blogs, it should be better since you can schedule them to 2020, spreading say 5 – 10 articles daily.

You can and should check out Auto Blog Samurai and see for yourself.  Experiment and do not be greedy and lazy, one step at a time.
