Authority Black Book Screams Out The Door!
If you are reading this, you’ve downloaded and read at least parts of the Authority Black Book.
Why did we do it?
To establish some semblance of organization and sanity in a new web world where thousands of social networking and marketing sites are popping up monthy.
People are confused as to how they can best use social sites to market their sites and grab a piece the hundreds of millions of visits generated by these sites collectively each month.
Believe me, I’ve been studying this stuff for over a year and the Black Book has helped me immeasurably to get organized and efficient with my “Social Power Linking” efforts for The Friday Traffic Report.
That’s why we did it.
Why is this thing FREE?
For many reasons. One is because we have something to tell internet marketers about being an authority on the web the no one else is talking about. And we want to reach every single person who has the slightest inspiration to do something more on the web than plop up a site they built with Frontpage and hope for the best.
The Black Book is an alert to everyone that the web has indeed changed. That Web 2.0, or whatever you want to call it, exists and is not a fad.
The difference between user-based websites and interactivity, voting systems, user submitted content, and all the other unique features of new media sites and the old web are like night and day.
Forums and bulletin boards are one-dimensional. Web 2.0 sites are multi-dimensional in their ability to get the word out about your site and get traffic back to your products and services.
Putting a link in your signature file on a forum and participating is about as passive as marketing can get.
Using a site like MyBlogLog.com to build community, groups, and activate a readership for your site is much more effective and multifaceted than old school advertising methods.
So the argument that there is nothing especially “new” about the web today, or that what has happened with the thousands of sites coming online specifically for users to control doesn’t deserve to be “named” anything special is just simply a hollow, ignorant argument.
The Black Book has gone a long way in exposing that the “fad” of Web 2.0 is actually a full blown industry and the new face of the web all together.
But, tell us what you think below. This is just version 1.0 and we have plans to make it much better with more resources organized in the best way possible to get you efficiently producing more traffic than you currently have.
Tell us what you think…
…and we’ll keep pushing the envelope of quality for Black Book until it is the best free resource anyone has put out in our industry…period.
March 12th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
Wow Jack!
This is just version 1.0?
I’ve heard you on Sean Wu’s call and can tell you know your stuff.
But this, in written form…And written Interactively (in the book) as you talk about Web 2.0 clearly illustrates your clarity, authority with this Field.
I like the way you have text links, graphics and also the You Tube tutorials empowering the user to choose which to click, Very 2.0.
I sure appreciate your glimpse into the future and recommend everybody to read this Authority Blackbook.
The future is already here and I agree that to think Web 2.0 is “a fad” or something that’s not here to stay and be marketable is a big mistake.
The resources in the book will keep people for weeks, months busy I’m sure, But it can save lots of time, assist people to finding their strengths in Web 2.0.
The resources are incredible, the book is written/organized in a very easy to read logical flow-And It’s Free! Great Book:)
Thanks & Best Of Luck,

Hey Jack. I have to ditto the first commenter. Absolutely fabulous. You could have made a fortune with this report if you had wanted to. It is loaded with real meat and potatoes type info. I do not think I could have found all these great resources on my own. I do not want to detract from your great work but I am sure you would want to know if anyone had any kind of technical problems. I found a couple of links that I think are not working correctly. The links in question are the video links that lead to The Friday Report. Once redirected the page loads except for the main content. Hopefully it has something to do with my browser but I thought I should say something just in case. Thanks again for an absolutely invaluable piece of work Jack. This blog moves right to the top of my blog list. Great work.

Jack,
I’ve spent the past month trying to figure out the Web 2.0 opitmization formats including RSS, converting RSS to html, etc… and your book is amazing. Thank you Jack, for putting this together in an easy to use format. Thank you!

Hi Jack,
The first time I heard that your FridayTrafficReport website is 100% original, no borrowed content, it struck me what a stickler you are about the quality you put out there.
This Black Book is another proof of that. 100% quality.
What felt extra good for me reading the Black Book is that since I became a member of AuthoritySiteCenter 3 months ago, I’ve learned so much that I actually could understand this Black Book. A few months back, it would have completely flown over my head. Your Black Book rocks, your AuthoritySiteCenter rocks, your quality rocks.

Hi Jack - I was soooo stoked - sorry, we say things like “stoked” here in California
- when I got the message that you’d put together the Black Book. I knew it’d be content rich and provide real, down-and-dirty how-to’s of using Web 2.0, blogging and social media to drive traffic to one’s website.
Can’t say I’m disappointed - you’ve delivered an awesome, well, Authority on the hottest traffic generation methods of 2007.
There’s tidbits for even the most seasoned marketers to learn from, but you deliver it all in such a way the even a beginner can benefit from, and grow with, the advice given in the Authority Black Book.
Thanks Jack!

Michelle - I was AMPED! Is that more surfer even than stoked?
Listen Jack - I’m all for selling stuff at no affiliate commission - that is why I made the http://www.1affiliatelink.com site - but to give this away is blatant ‘ho-like activity.
Have you been reading Jimmy D. Brown or something?
Seriously, back on that fateful day last year when Stompernet and ClickFlipping launched - I blew my money on Stompernet and chased a fickle bird into info-overload.
If I had it to go over again - I would have signed up for Click Flipping (awesome program) for short term profits - and listened to you and Peter about Authority Site building.
If I would have - I know that now I would have both sides of the equation covered - and be on my 3rd or 4th authority site by now - and sitting pretty.
I can honestly say after being in the center of a bunch of this stuff - that you guys, and Nathan Anderson, are the only truly brilliant guys I know who share EVERYTHING that you do RIGHT NOW that is working.
Most membership sites, gurus, ebooks, etc. simply teach theory or what they USED to do, after the fact.
I’ve signed back up for your Authority Site system - and will do what you tell me from here on out!

Blown away only covers half the story. Your Black Book unlike so many others out there is gold. No fluff direct and to the point. It gives readers most of the tools that they will need to get on board the Web 2.0 train and ride off into the land of popularity and if they choose profit (not everyone is looking to turn a buck on the web).
The fact that this is a free resource is simply amazing.
Awesome work from the obvious Authority!
March 21st, 2007 at 9:10 pm
Jack,
As a member of Authority Site Center and an avid reader of Friday Traffic Report I have become spoiled by the high quality information you and your team provide.
Authority Black Book again provides outstanding information that I try to utilize with my site. With this information we have gone from a pr of 0 in January to a pr3 in early March. Our traffic is exponentially increasing and our business is growing.
Thanks!

Just when I had finished a list of all the search machines and websites I’m promoting my new website to, you bring out the most STUPENDOUS and HUGE list of sites and facilities I’d never even dreamed exist.
I now have to start all over agin but I think your strategies make mine really suck…
Now stand in a corner and I’ll send a nurse in with something REALLY SPECIAL for you.
From a very admiring .. The Picture Doctor.
March 22nd, 2007 at 7:54 pm
Jack, this ebook is fantastic. I’ve downloaded a LOT of crap lately and this free, did I just say free? ebook is simply awesome. I’m not sure what your angle is for releasing something of this quality (did I mention I’m cynical?) for nada. I just don’t really care. This resource is simply amazing.
I threw a post up on my blog saying as much.
I think it will help with not only Lost Ball but all my other blog efforts. Thanks again for a fabulous read.
March 22nd, 2007 at 8:39 pm
Hey You Guys!
What an amazing wealth of information in that one book. I am blown away that you are offering all of that for free!
I cannot believe all of the resources that are given in this book. Now I can trash all my stickies placed strategically surrounding my workspace containing little jems like those contained within that book.
Thank you for this!

You could not have spelled it out any better than you did.I have always liked WP and am impressed with the possibilites of it. I am actually thinking on a larger scale right now and am “AMPED” so to speak about my future. Thank you so much for this invaluable work of art. You don’t know how much I appreciate this. Thank you Jack and everyone involved.

Jack,
“Wow!” was my first impression. It seems like such an understatement.
As a voracious learner, I have devoured several hundred resources over the past few years–ebooks, reports, email courses, programs, systems, seminars, etc.–and none of them have given me as much VALUE as the Authority Black Book.
This is one resource that’s not going to be collecting dust on my hard drive. It’s one I will be USING EVERY DAY. I can’t think of a greater compliment than that.
Your and your Krewe have done an incredible job. I’m used to that from ASC, of course…
… but you just keep raising the bar.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Didn’t cost a cent. The ‘gurus’ must be sh!@#$%Z
their pants. Ahh…how sweet it is.
March 23rd, 2007 at 10:30 pm
Greetings everyone -
If your just starting out or even if you need a few more ideas on how to get that site of yours in front of your clients, then this is a great resource.
Knowing just where to start in the marketing and promotion jungle can be a daunting task, that at times kills peoples ideas off just from it all being too difficult.
This publication is easy to follow and I have to say is quite thorough in it’s content, with so many e-books out there it is refreshing to find a original content book, that is actually helpful.
Simply put if you want to MAKE it online, this is a simple starting point, after you have divulged the amazing easy to read directions and helpful text, dive in over to ASC and join up, your success will thank you for it.

Jack,
I have to tell you the truth. I didn’t expect a whole lot from this free ebook. I thought, well… you know… it’s “free” so it’s probably just going to be chocked full of either affiliate links, or possibly want me to buy something.
I was dead wrong in assuming that.
The Authority Black Book totally encompasses everything about Web 2.0 that people need to know and understand. Not only that, but you laid this book out in such an easy to follow format that even a novice beginner can jump right in and get started.
Just reading it, and being able to finally understand things like RSS and SEO blog optimization made me jump right in and get started.
Thanks Mr. Humphrey for giving this one away. For those of us who are serious about internet marketing, it’s a lifesaver for the future of net commerce.

Hey guys, I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about in at least the first part of the Black Book…the part about setting up a blogsite. I’m obviously pretty far behind everyone else, but that’s the way it is. Hell, I’m a complete newbie. A ping file? I looked at ping files on the link that was provided, but I have no idea what I was looking at!! And no, I’m not a young kid just getting my feet wet, I’m an old guy…66 years old and trying to get something going on the Internet to supplement my Social Security check. If you know anything about SS, the monthly check isn’t big enough to pay my bills let alone do much marketing. But I’m trying!
March 23rd, 2007 at 11:45 pm
I downloaded the book Authority Black Book and have started implementing a few ideas. Look like it works. How much traffic increase I get will be clear in a month.
I have seen many resources, this definitely ranks in the top 1,2,3. Plus I received it as a Gift for subscribing. Great and cheers
March 24th, 2007 at 12:05 am
This is awesome. While others internet marketers are giving out out dated stuff or old school stuff. It has a lot of data concerning Web 2.0. This is real cool.

Great report.
I’ve downloaded it, read it and joined the Authority Site Centre

Thanks for the report.

Jack,
For a while now I’ve been looking to make my site different from all the other Celtic sites out there.
Some are static, others are more forum based and we have the odd blog.
So when I downloaded the Blackbook I had one of those ‘Aha’ moments. Now Jack I’m not a techie, far from it, but with your roadmap and some more dedication I feel as though I might be getting to grips with Web 2.0.
The fact that you’re going to keep upgrading the book means you’re not leaving the less techie people like myself ‘high and dry’.
Great work, Jack,
Thanks a lot,
And a Hail! Hail! from the Celtic Fanzone
March 24th, 2007 at 6:11 am
Hey Guys at ASC!
Are you nuts? Why did you release this book for free? OMG!! You should have at least charge $97 for this awesome resource or put it behind a membership area and ask for a monthly fee. I am absolutelly positive that the information in this book will increase my website traffic tenfold. And it won’t be just any traffic: it’s going to be the most targeted traffic it can ever get. THANKS ASC! YOU ROCK!
March 24th, 2007 at 6:57 am
Hello Jack, and hello readers!,
The BlackBook is… HUMILIATING ’cause it makes obvious that my website is FAR from OK, let alone good.
Due to the fact that one can never know what one doesn’t know I might just make the effort to get knowing and practice.
Thanks for making me aware of my inadequacies!
Warmest regards, Peter Breda

Great job Jack!

I am impressed! I am currently doing research on getting traffic and then out of the blue I get your book. There is alot of material out there, but only your product attempts to tie the latest craze with the traffic issues. This is a necessary resource to prevent a website from becoming extinct. Again, great job!
March 24th, 2007 at 9:56 am
I am testing your book out on a new dieting blog I am in the process of creating. I knew I needed to get to grips with the Web 2.0 world but how? There’s no doubt something on my hard drive but where to find it?
And then along came your black book with great timing…
Now I am working through it step by step - it’s taking me longer to set up this blog than my last one as a result but hopefully this one will get lots more traffic. I will post my results.
Thank you so much

Hi Jack,thanks for reminding me to read.I almost missed the
precious meat in the book. Awesome! I sure will apply some
ideas when I get home from ISS MasterMind Conference.
I’ve seen and felt that I could start generate traffic by
following the step-by-step instructions found in your
Authority Black Book.
To all who desire to succeed of having an internet business
I highly recommend to you to have the Authority Black
Book.It’s amazing.Try it.
March 25th, 2007 at 7:29 am
Wow, This is an amazing resource Jack!
I am just focusing on building an authority site in what I know best (Teach the French language {beside Self defense, my field}), and I don’t know what to do now.
I am currently building the site: How To Speak French, but I think I will switch to a wordpress blog instead.
I do have a wordpress blog on a directory, but I am going to put it on the root I think. I will think about this tonight.
You just gave me a lot of work man.

Information Overload! Someone could take any part of the Black Book and Make Money Online or Off. The Black Book is a comprehensive read that just about anyone could use to better brand, market and sell their products and services.
My first three books are about the Music Business and the competition is thick. The Black Book will give me a leg up over the competition. Thank you for releasing the Black Book. May you continue to eat from the fruits of your labor.
March 25th, 2007 at 1:27 pm
Well, I can see why you released this for free. It was to make the people lucky enough to receive it fully aware of the need to take a more specialised view on the issue of websites that will endure and grow.
This is what the ‘Black Book’ focuses on and, as such, it does the job admirably.
Few people will read this and not be sold on the necessity of building authority sites from here on.
But don’t get me wrong, this is not simply a smart piece of marketing, it’s an education you’ll find nowhere else to my knowledge and certainly not for free.
I am now in the programme myself and I’d happily advise anyone who takes their future in internet based business seriously to look no further than the unique facilities available at Content Desk.
March 25th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
I just really started to get into the Black Book.
But what I have found and used has already shown me the power
that is contained within.
Just scratching the surface has put more visitors to my site than anything
I have tried has done before.
I can only imagine the possibilities of working with this resource full time.
It’s already got me thinking of adding new sites to what I have now with
confidance they will produce.
Thank you for all the GREAT information.

Hi Jack,
Didn’t get to see you at Stompernet but have listened to the teleseminar you did a couple of times. Having read the Authority Black Book all I can say is that I am bowled over with the amount of valuable information you have provided. As a direct result of the information gleaned my action plan for the next few days is to start a blog on each of my websites!
Many thanks for that.

Hey Jack,
Your Authority Site Black Book is unbelievable.
You’ve put together a resource that’s easily the clearest bible on how to get website traffic this year.
It now takes its place in the FIRST folder I look at on my own computer, as I start the day’s traffic-building activities. And the bonus is, now I can clean out all those OTHER books from that folder!
I guess it’s easier for you to know where the bar is rising to, when you’re the one who’s doing the raising, huh?
Thanks for the excellent support and ideas that keep flowing from ASC. I’m glad to be a member.
Best,

If used correctly even new bloggers out there can be assured they will receive
more traffic to their site.
Keep up the good work!

Jack,
I’ve been following what you have been doing from the sidelines for a year, yet lost touch with what you were doing for the past six months or so… until I saw you at Stompernet (and listened to your teleconference).
I have known for some time that learning to leverage Social Media networks for traffic is an important skill to learn… and although I’ve had some success with it I never could quite put it all together.
What you have shared in your Black Book has gotten me that much closer to finding “the pulse”.
I can attest to the fact that what what you teach works; and I’ve seen traffic increase to a couple of my sites in front of my very own eyes! (while I was implementing the things you suggested in your ‘talk’ as well as in your Black Book!)
Very impressive.
I can only imagine what you are “hiding” from us at the Authority Site Center.
I’m thinking I’m going to become a member…
All the best, and keep up the great work!
Thanks,
Steven

I’ve read so much about SEO and generating traffic through trickery and every time the search engines get smarter, out come new tricks. As fast as its published it’s outdated by a new breed of searchbot (eg meta tags, cloaked pages etc).
At last someone is telling the truth: put good quality content out there and they will come. Make it interactive and they will beat a path to your door and refer you you to others. As the searchbots evolve they will always seek good content - you’ll always be ahead.
Also it’s great to see people actually admitting to the huge learning curve and countless hours required to start it off. I’m sick of the “Gurus” saying they get money for jams and forgetting to mention the many hours they spend promoting their products as well as servicing their sites.
Web 2.0 isn’t about new tricks it’s about giving people what they want and Authority Black Book shows you where to begin, where to go and how to get there.

Wow, Wow and DOUBLE Wow!!!
I had just enough time to print out the Black Book and throw it in my laptop bag before I left to do my most recent Live Workshop in London.
I wound up reading it on a fast train back to the city one rainy afternoon, and my jaw literally dropped. You guys give MORE content, MORE useful information, MORE value than just about anything else I’ve read in the past year.
Why you didn’t charge at least $97 for this is beyond me, but I can and will make sure each and every one of my Readers knows about the incredible value you have kindly made available here.
Job well done!

I think I have finally surfaced from 12 weeks of researching IM as a complete newbie. Now I see some daylight for a business for the long term. This whole concept is worth my investing a lot of valuable time going forward.
When I got to read the “Black Book” after first studying the ASC guide and link material I was just amazed at this incredible resource being made available free. I look forward to taking some action now.

Seriously though, Jack, this was an amazing resource and my big mouth has been telling everyone about it.

Dear Jack
I really cannot thank you enough for introducing me to the Authority Black Book and I agree completely with the many people who have praised it so far.
Never have I seen so much information and help in such a free download that really guides all of us who wish to succeed, in the right direction !
So far I have managed to read up to page 33, having clicked on many fantastic links en route and on these, even more huge
information resources which must surely be invaluable.
It is so refreshing to enjoy this quality material compared to some of the information costing the innevitable $47 which although useful, is nothing compared to The Black Book.
Once again Jack
So many thanks. Now I shall start again on page 34 !!!
Best wishes

Your book made me think about how much I still don’t know about Net Marketing. It gave me more stuff to work on in order to double my earnings one more time. I am very impressed and at the same time confused.
It is just INCREDIBLE!!!

Hi Jack,
I have been working on Web 2 strategies, looking for information etc for a while. So I was absolutely delighted to get your book. And it is amazing that it is at no cost.
There is a lot of detailed instruction in the book, which is great. A real how to do it which is what I need!
Thanks again

Hi Jack, Can you tell me…does this report have a rebrandable version for me to give to my list?
Can you give me more information and the link to where I can download the rebrander?
Thank you,

WOW, still more great info…
And thanks to Liz Tomey and her great newsletter. That’s how I found the Authority Black Book.
Even though I’ve been playing with computers since my VIC-20 Commodore in — GET THIS — 1980, I am still in the dark ages when it comes to WEB 2.0.
A great opportunity to get a solid overview in ONE place.
THANKS

Oh MY GOD!….
One day my husband asked me … “Whats Web 2.0?” … and I said I don’t know I have heard the term around a lot lately. The next day Jimmy Adamas is joining my list and membership site and telling me how he is totally into this Web 2.0 thing…. sending me to read Authority Black Book and…
Boom!
Now I know! … doors flung open wide. This thing is nothing short of amazing. I love community. The world is my community. Humanity is my community and I love internet marketing and networking and teaching… so this thing is …. no words to do justice … AWESOME!!!
Thank you Jack!!!!!!!!
If you really do share everything as one commenter above put it… and I must say it certainly does seem that way… I read all 64 pages… unusual behavior for me …. then your my guy! Your the man.
I signed up for Friday Traffic Report today too and will read it.
Warmly Networking & Community Building,

Have just been able to look at a few of the resources and found them to be of good quality. Best darn e-book download I’ve found in some years!
April 14th, 2007 at 6:28 pm
The best value with zero cost of a free ebook it’s hardly to find in the internet
recently.You can find tons of crap “how to drive the traffict ebook…” and it can easily cost you beetwen $67 - $ 97. People are getting excited to make money online and they will do and try to sell everything,even study hard to become “scam artist” to burn your pocket….
thank you Jack,you done are a great job for many newbie with low budget.
April 14th, 2007 at 11:17 pm
A very very special and best e-book i had come across.
A very practical and no nonsense e-book. This is the only e-book that I had read in one taking and immediately applied the first of the 7 steps to my blog - http://singaporehomebiz.wordpress.com . And wow, my readers jumped from 23 to 67 for just that day and plus people who reads my feed increase about 5%.
Well, what can I say? Grab that book NOW!!!!
Great job!!!
April 15th, 2007 at 3:20 am
Two days ago I didn’t know what a trackback was, now I have just posted one. Thanks for a very valueable resource.
April 15th, 2007 at 10:52 am
I am so happy that I stumbled upon this resource. I am a newbie online marketing guy with a PIPS site and a blog on Bloggger. To begin with, I’m having problems just logging onto my account at Blogger—this is not pleasing. I’ve been wondering about Wordpress for some time…is it too much for a newbie to handle?, for instance. Your report helps to make it understandable and accessible.
I was impressed by your knowledge, and the very fact that you shared this great info with the rest of us! Now I’m going to find out if I can port my Blogger blog into Wordpress….Thanks again.
Richard Sleeman
April 15th, 2007 at 10:56 am

Wow Jack,
The list of resources is overwhelming. I am not even half through with the book and can see must have resources to use.
Your list of wordpress plugins is worth the read alone.
Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. And free too.
April 16th, 2007 at 12:47 am
Hi everyone!
Just got through reading all 60-some comments here and I am blown away, to say the least.
Your feedback sure does make the work that went into Authority Black Book 1.0 worthwhile.
I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to download, read, and then come here to post.
You really don’t know how something is going to be received until it’s “out there” and I guess we did ok.
Watch for new things like a marketing plan to help you organize your time efficiently and new link resources we are finding every day.
Give us a little more time and version 1.5 will be out! (We have so much planned for it that we are skipping to 1.5!)
Thanks again and do me a favor: Tell Your Friends!
Jack
April 16th, 2007 at 6:16 am
I read the ebook and was motivated to find out more. After having done the sums I decided to come on board. Then disaster……I lost my wallet. So it will be a week to 10 days before I can do business. Please keep a place open.
April 16th, 2007 at 7:56 am
I have purchased and studied many, many, other so called “Top Secret” ways to grow my online business. I have sent them all back because they were all a rehash of the same-ol’ same-ol’ but this was free and I can tell you I definitely received a gift here.
The list of resources was fabulous, and the info on Web2.0 was great. I haven’t finished reading it all yet - just got it a couple of days ago and had to scan over it on the sly at work. With the help of this book, and a little time, hopefully I won’t have to go to that job any more pretty soon :))
I NEVER do endorsements but was glad to see you had a space for them here. Thank you for a great publication.

Hi Jack,
Your Black Book on Web 2.0 is amazing and so you’re much more amazing to give such secrets out for FREE! Not many marketers can do that! You’ve got me as a disciple in Web 2.0. So, please, DON’T LET ME DOWN henceforth in the series yet to come.

April 17th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Thanks Jack,
For sharing your research for free.
I have to say I’m not disappointed I have spent hours to check out Authority Black Book. I think the lists must be very valuable.
Very recognizable material, dealing with the developments of internet marketing over the past year.
I wish I had done all of that research myself. I can see now that I’ve neglected important aspects.
Keep up the good work!
To our success!

This is great reading!! I have put into use a lot of it already. After all, having an online mall at http://www.mypowermall.com/Biz/Home/2941 and giving people their own mall just for the asking takes a lot of my time but I always keep time aside for special readings, and this is one of them!! Great Book !! Thanks !!
April 26th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Wow! The Authority Black Book has more information
than any 25 Paperback Books or eBooks combined.
This will be a resourse that I will use for weeks, months,
and years to come.
My first impression was, ‘This eBook is just too long!’,
but it is All good stuff. It may be difficult to read in one session.
There are 100’s of links to reference to.
Have I seen them all? No! Will I view them all eventually? Hopefully.
Am I using them at present? No, not yet, but I will.
But, what I have viewed, again I say, “Wow!”
This is a ‘Must Read Sourse’.
Thanks for Making it available,

AA absolutely amazing info….and for free! Very few cyberpreneurs provide such quality of service. All your info is soooo current hot subject that is unbelievable your are giving it away. Mega thanks.
April 28th, 2007 at 4:56 am
OK, I did read and go through this little black book and I gotta say that ALL THE INFORMATION I found in it really surprised me, I usually get around 200+ emails each day that is jammed packed with useless information on starting and building a home business. And let me tell you, I do take the time to look at most of the CR*%P that is sent to me, a wast of time. But then on rare occasions, I do come across a bit of GOLD that makes it all worth while! And I gotta tell you, this little Black Book is well worth the time I took to check it out, congrats to the person who created this little bit ‘o’ Gold! And PLEASE!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
April 28th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
The big black book is not a quick read for me. I am new to all this and need to “nibble” away while in the learning curve lest the confusion about all the internet marketing that still seems like gobbly gook to a non-techie person like I would be enough to choke a horse. It is comforting to me that I have it and can go though it at my own pace. I deeply appreciate the generosity. There is a saying, “Until I know you care, I don’t care what you know” and so I am one who appreciates the effort and time that many of you experts are putting into the human aspect of building a relationship with me as a customer or potential distributor before rushing in to hard sell me so fast it would make my head spin.
I lack investment money and do desire a website that will help me have a passive income stream that I can continue to reinvest back into more passive income. But I also want to market my own professional service and the books I’m writing. So it would be nice to ride the elevator but one step at a time also works so long as the ladder is set up and I feel competent with the rungs. It occurs to me that with multi purposes in mind as to internet utilization there may not be one best web site for me.
I feel like a sitting duck really. And it reminds me of the story about someone who did the learning curve. Then she did anything. In doing anything, she realized she could do something. And have you ever done something, then realized you could do everything? By reading and studying and listening to the teleconference calls and watching the free videos et al, there is progress in motion. I’ve always asked the ducks, “Take me to the eagle.”
So I’d like to know who the eagle is because there has got to be one best mentor out there and I don’t even know who the players are. It seems that the internet, like everything else in life, may not be what you know, but who you know who has been there, done that. Why reinvent the wheel? That’s why I’ve been slow off the starting line.
And it takes resourcefulness to make money. One has to perhaps go through the experience first hand to raise the bar for others and so hats off to all of you who have the head start. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do and I’d like a few hands to hold. Thank you for the Big Black Book.
April 28th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Thank you again.
April 29th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Hi,
I have read your book.It’s great source.but when I need to follow your link I have to open your book.If you tell resource of your link (mean :http://…….) I think it ’s easy to use.
However your book so useful for me and another newbies of internet marketer.
Please go on to help other,that very kind of you.
Thank you again to make black book.I’ve never seen the book like this before
It’s too much detail. Great!
Take care,

Wow and thanks a million ! I have paid lots for other books that do not hold half the information you have provided for free. This is a “real” million dollar rolodex…..so many resources.
And from the laws of karma Jack, may you prosper immensely for your generosity.

After reading (and rereading a lot of it) I realized how and why my website is not working. Time to re-tool. Lucky for me it had minimal traffic; )
Even luckier my head is empty, so now I may fill it with good things…
Thank you so so much!
May 4th, 2007 at 7:20 am
Thanks for making me realise quite how inadequate my SEO attempts so far have been! Frustrated that I didn’t get this info months ago, but delighted it was free and so useful.
May 4th, 2007 at 7:21 am
As an owner of both a social networking site and a blog service I am always looking for ‘meat and potatoes’ for the sites to help my members. MAN! You have so much M&P here that not charging for it is GROSSLY INSANE. Some (few) things I will say are in debate but …
Bottom line, You have assembled OVERKILL here. And gave it away.
Thanks for your work and time. God Bless.
May 4th, 2007 at 7:28 am
Well, this has got to be one of the best resources (paid or not) out there!
I printed it off and then read it through… then made the fatal mistake of following the links. I only managed one in two and a bit hours, and there are lots and lots more!
There is so much information not generally available elsewhere…
Thank you for your time and effort in producing this amazing gift!
May 4th, 2007 at 7:33 am
The best resource book I have come across, well presented and easy to follow even for a firly Old Newbie like me.
Only downside is I now have a lot of work to do and catch up on but it will be more than worth the effort - a small price to pay for the benefits to be gained.
You Gotta Get It!!
May 4th, 2007 at 7:36 am
Excellent…a valuable resource
May 4th, 2007 at 8:02 am
Thanks for the great content!
Plenty of practical, can-do-it-right-now ideas to get me started. I have read the Authority Black Book once quickly and I am going to read it again thoroughly, take down notes and prepare a plan for implementation.
I have many WordPress blogs and the information in the book is precious. I think I will be referring to the book every day, trying whatever is suggested, going back to re-read, check and improve my application.
I cannot believe that you guys have given all this away for free.
Thanks once again for making the book zero fluff, easily readable, saturated with absolutely down to earth practical ideas and excellent resources.
May 4th, 2007 at 8:25 am
Just in process of putting together my new site. Your ebook has proven indispensable.
I can think of no greater testimonial than to honestly declare that I’d gladly pay for the information you give away free.
Much thanks,

That was some top banana stuff I read last night. I’ve never seen so many web 2.0 resources dropped in a freebie.
I got into web 2.0 through Dr Mike Woo Ming and Howie Schwartz and in the process I seem to have stumbled across the ‘inner circle’ of web dudes!
Many thanks to Jack for this wicked piece of bedtime reading:)
May 4th, 2007 at 9:05 am
This is the most valuable free resource I’ve ever downloaded.
May 4th, 2007 at 10:14 am
Wow! As a newbie to Web 2.0, I found your Black Book to be fantastic readng. I can’t believe that you offered all of this information up for fr.ee!
Thank you for all of your research and hard work. You have saved me both time and money! Much success to all of your future projects!
May 4th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Gee, do I ever feel stupid! I’ve paid good money for far less information than is in your free Black Book. Thanks a million for the education.

May 5th, 2007 at 10:51 am
Its all great thing to add my comments on your Authority Black Book and the Social Networking Cash. I must say that it had been a wonderful reading. Most of the modern trend vocabulary in online business have been clearly explained and practicalised. Even those of use who are newbies in the field can now coast along with the assurance that we can build our optin list faster than normal and follow olne discussions.
I am proud to say that I will go along with you. You have established yourself as an honourable expert of the web 2 school.
May 5th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Downloaded the Authority Black Book a few days ago and only had the chance to open it yesterday. I must admit this book was better than most of the ones I have downloaded. Most of them have been utter rubbish, when I say rubbish I dont mean to offend anyone - but nearly every one is full of the same information. I have downloaded so many (enough to start my own business) but I was always getting the same thing over and over again, not only that but most of them are out of date - links dont work or the book was damaged. I was hoping that at least one of them would have different info and this Authority Black Book beats them by far. I found this book to be very informative and helpful and no doubt I will keep reading it for many months to come. Thanks for the great book - keep up the good work.
May 5th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Hi Jack,
I just recently downloaded your ebook and read it. I have no idea about blogging but last week created a blog on blogger.com. Now I’m confused because you speak so highly of wordpress.
Your book is great, I’ll say that with honesty. But on the flip side, there is just to many links and websites. It would take me 6 months to go through each one to discover which ones are best. Could you narrow it down to the best 3 in each category?
Thank you very much for providing so much content and information for free. I appreciate your efforts, time and experience to help us beginners.
May 5th, 2007 at 9:15 pm
My God! This is so awesome! I have never come across such a good free resource until today. Sad to say, I don’t know what the first part of your book is talking about. And I haven’t touched wordpress or a ping list before. Cheers!
May 6th, 2007 at 7:18 am
Hello Jack
This is the best ebook I have read in a long long time, free
or paid. Even though I do not use Wordpress for my
blogging, I have still learnt a great deal from your
book and I am looking forward to implimenting some
of your ideas. Thanks a lot.
May 6th, 2007 at 7:23 am
Hi Jack
Thanks for the book - packed with solid information forcefully and clearly delivered. I have developed and maintained a website through ‘Homestead’ for years, but never had a clue how to market it without breaking my very small budget. Your book introduces me to many cutting edge concepts, but as a complete beginner I now have to go away and learn and practice some basic techniques, and absorb your information gradually by actually using it! Thanks especially for introducing me to wordpress and Web 2.0
May 7th, 2007 at 7:59 am
Hi there:
How refreshing to receive exactly what I was looking for: information on web 2.0 along with clear “how to” information on implementing. Excellent, valuable content. You have my attention. I’ll let you know my progress as I put it to work. And the price? Let’s just say I’ve paid much more for much less.
Many, many thanks!
May 8th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Very practical. Straight to the point. I would recommand it to anyone looking for actually “do-able” advices on how to use web2.0 to generate income. Great.
May 8th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Thanks again Jack. The Black Book is one of the most informative books I have ever read. I am just half way through and setting everything up blow by blow. To think this was a free book.
Well, whenever I think of getting more traffic or SEO you know who will be on the top of my list to go to.
May 9th, 2007 at 7:47 am
Thanks for a great resource. I look forward to implementing many of the tools and resources you provided. Now it’s just a matter of not getting overwhelmed with all the great information and taking it one step at a time.

I am now energized in incorporating the web to its’ fullness in my endeavors. I look forward to your very appreciated direction in this regard.
Warm Regards and Thanks!

When I started reading the ABB I felt similarly to when I got Mr. Sheffren’s ‘Manifestos’, basically that I was very blessed and fortunate to be getting clear, actionable, no bs information. There’s a cool spirit of giving that came with it. It’s helpful and doesn’t smack of that slimey, ‘here’s a little info, now rush and buy my product’ vibe.
Thanks.
May 11th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
you guys came along at the precise point in time.
I hope your efforts are worthy.
Give me time to absorb your material,
and we may just go far…who knows?
I am at step 1… I built and ran a gaming fan-site for 1 year,
(with no ads on it, i was learning how to build, and maintain it )
now im ready to rebuild that site, and take it to the next level.
Web 2.0? hmmmm lets explore the possibilittes…

Hi
I have read and printed out your Authority Black Book. It is fantastic and just timely for me. I am in the process of making a new site based on WordPress and phpBB, and was actually downloading the WordPress plugins, when I’ve read the book. I have already downloaded all the recommended plugins and once I am ready to use them, I’ll start blogging (my blog will be on Personal Development with Astrology and Energy Healing).
As for using Web 2.0 sites for internet marketing, I can tell you it works. I used social bookmarking sites to spread the news about a new page on one of my other sites (those were original, high quality pages, no spamming was involved here), and they would receive 40, 50 or even more visits during the next 24 hours! Of course, after that, it would really depend on the quality of my site to keep the relationship going, but to have 50 visitors for a brand new pages today sure beats waiting for Google to index that same page a few months later., if at all.
So, you are on the right track and I shall certainly use your 1 dollar per week idea to learn your system even more. I am now on the fence whether to enter your membership site, because 99 bucks each month should better be well spent or…
In any case, many, many, many thanks for the Authority Black Book, and if there is more in that same vein, please let me know
Sincerely, Dusko Savic

After a quick glance at some of the pages , I can say with confidence that the Authority Black Book is a brilliant source of information & learning on the Web 2.0 and other related marketing subs. In depth reading, I am sure will reveal much more than many anticipate.

There is no doubt at all, anyone knowing just a little about S.E. etc, or those who consider themselves knowledgable, cannot help to be impressed with the Black Book.
Like many others who are stuggling to get hits to their web sites, I am writing articles, getting links by the hundreds and doing it the normal way. As you say, we all must move on to the “new” way.
Just by reading your free book, (which by the way, it’s the first I have ever seen that is Far beyond anything around) I can understand what needs to be done.
I will no doubt be joining you shortly.
I look forward to a wonderful future, not for just you guys, but for myself also. I have a few successful keywords on the first pages, however there are not too many hits.

The book is great. Unfortunately, I have worked only with web sites so I am having to set up my first blog. Although you strongly recommend WordPress, I may go with Blogger for the first blog because it seems easier to set up for Adsense which is where my major focus is now. In a few months down the line, I would switch to WordPress. That may sound stupid but I am still learning what terms like trackback, ping, and tag mean. I mean I am really at the starting gate when it comes to blogs.
Thanks again for getting me started in Web 2 although your excellent recorded interviews with Dr. Mike played a role, also. Using the techniques you outline in the recording and the book, I plan to multiple my present small on-line income many fold in the next few months by using blogs.
Any reccomendations from you or your commenters would be appreciated.

How refreshing to have a manual that gives great tips that can be put into action immediately. This is an area of the internet that marketers know little about. The Authority Black Book is timely and valuable. Thankyou.

I can’t thank you enough for the confidence you’ve given me with ASC and The Authority Black Book. After floundering for months back & forth between the promises of one guru or another, it is wonderful to have a step-by-step guidance system - that works!
Thank you for helping those of us who are not “techies” understand, not only how the internet works, but how to be successful with the internet of the future.
You have helped me raise my sights and I am grateful.

133 comments and counting says it all really! Thanks for an excellent book. I don’t think there is one person out there who couldn’t learn something from it - it certainly is bringing me up to speed on things like video and podcasting where I’m a bit of a dinosaur.
Most books with this much content would cost you dearly - thanks so much for putting it out there for the global community!

It is a fantastic ebook. I’d say 99% of the links to Web 2.0 sites / communities found within the material are unknown to me.
The ebook has definitely given a big boost to my Web 2.0 marketing efforts.
Big THANK YOU goes out to Jack and all the folks who worked hard to give us this valuable content!
June 13th, 2007 at 11:55 am
Unbelievable. Others would charge a fortune for the knowledge and guidance contained in this amazing book.
My only complaint is that now I have months more work to do
June 14th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
You mention the Ultimate Tag Warrior v3 as a great plugin for WordPress…… well it was until WordPress 2.2 came along in May 2007.
WordPress 2.2 has its own tagging ability and now “breaks” UTW3 without some hacking into your PHP code.

You guys aren’t charging for this stuff?
Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.
You could have stopped the report at page 20, and still provided enough value for anyone. But you went to 60+ pages…
What a lesson. Thank you.

I’ve been considering how to get going on some kind of affiliate income, with a few websites and a couple blogs for topics that interest me, but haven’t done anything at all yet. I’m one of those incurable academic types who study the problem to death before doing anything. I started investigating the subject of traffic generation and yesterday evening I stumbled on your site and downloaded the Authority Black Book. I scanned it and was overwhelmed. It looks like way more than every thing I need to know to get started. The idea of setting up my sites as blogs makes total sense to me now. Forget the static sites. It’s just incredible that anybody would put in the time to write it and offer it for free. I’m not to the stage where I can utilize even 1/10 of what you compiled, but when I do get going it’ll be a real great resource. On top of that you’ve directed me to an unbelievable amount of apparently free software to use to get started with a state of the art presence on the net. You’ve got a new lifelong devotee. Dan

Hi Jack,
I have to say that I was gob-smacked at the sheer breadth of the Authority Black Book and the fact that this has been made available from the heart.
Every marketer with whom I am coming in contact is being told of the need to acquire this indispensable resource.
This is a wonderful read which demands that one returns to it time and time again. Thank you for your generosity in making this precious information available.

Hey jack! Just got the report but, ummm . . . Rick Butts is right - your header graphic is butt ugly. (Yep, those are his words!) And so we’ve been asked to tell you to get a new one. Rick even mentions a place where you can get one for $25 - http://thebannerqueen.com . Looks like a pretty good deal. But if you don’t like hers, I can make you one (I’m a graphic designer too.)
Blessings,
Annie
July 7th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
I love the Authority Black Book Manual! But you have to something about the banner on this ugly blog.
July 7th, 2007 at 2:16 pm
Hey, Jack - just got an email from someone saying you needed a header graphic for your blog so I whipped one up for you. Here’s a link to go look at it and save if you want it.

Hope that helps!

How is he supposed to go pay $25 for one if you GIVE him such a beautiful header for free?
Seriously… it’s NIIIIICE!

I’m an ardent reader of John Reese’s blog at Income.com, and there is where I was introduced to the Authority Black Book. Although I’m new to Internet business, in the mean time, I do understand a lot of the jargon and technical terminologies and am amazed by the vast amount of valuable information you provide both in the Authority Black Book and the two related newsletters (March and April) from the Authority Site Center Buzz.
I also like the Authority site concept and will be using the Wordpress platform for the niche site that I’m building in the specialty that I’ve been working in for many years. I will begin it first as a blog and build from there. The idea for doing so came from reading John Reese’s blog and the Authority Black Book.
Keep up the good work. What you are doing is extremely useful to loads of people.
July 28th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
As always I’m looking for extra information on blogging and WOW! The Black Book was an amazing resource!
I’m still a “blogger” blogger and wondering why I’m stuck in the sand? Well I know why but haven’t done anything about it.
After I devoured this book in one sitting, [yup , that’s how good it is!] The different marketing strategies V2 and alike has got me hooked & revitalized!

Great to find something on the web that is actually useful, rather than the usual 3 mile long sales pitch, I mean webpage, that tries to convince readers to download something for an unbeatable price.
Well the Black Book price was certainly unbeatable! It was free. And I now know a lot more than I did before I downloaded it. I can see a light on at the end of the tunnel again! And a big thank you for that.

August 13th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Hi Jack
Just after I downloaded the Black Book and went quickly through it, I immediately sent it to my external hard drive for safekeeping. I don’t care if my PC crashes, I’ll still have this excellent book!

I have been testing OnlyWire and I found out that only 6 of the 22 social bookmark sites work with OnlyWire. I know there are hundreds of social bookmark sites and I know theoretically I could get hundreds of back links to my site if I submit to all of them.
Is it worth the time to submit to all of them? Which ones are the best ones to submit to for real traffic?
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:00 am
Jack,
I know you get many testimonials, but I thought you would be impressed by these results.. all due to you. At 8:00 am the other day I created a squidoo lens for my business. After taking that content and syndicating it across the wen through sources your ABB suggests, I had by 6PM acquired the top 6 spots in google for my main keyword.
I am still in shock.. it’s two days later, and most of my articles/pages are still in top positions.
Thank you.. I can’t say enough about how much your book has taught me in a matter of hours, and how that has translated into serious interest//traffic to my in my product/sale page.
THANK YOU!!!!

August 24th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
I’m the greenest of newbies and ABB is overwhelming for me. I still am trying to learn terminology and the likes. I am pleased and very thankful to have found a resource that will keep me busy for some time learning the right way to go from the ground up. A google on ‘internet martketing’ returns more ’stuff’ (much of it junk) than a mortal could read in one lifetime. Trying to figure out what is worthwhile and what is junk even from a few sources is very time consuming. Thank you so much for helping me get off on the right foot. If my head is going to spin at least let it spin in the right direction.
I’ll be awhile getting through this excellent resource. Thanks again.

Jack,
There are three things that catch my attention in this book:
1. The section “The Importance of Authority on the Web.” It is the most sublime, honest, and inspiring piece that I have ever read concerning big time success on the Net.
2. Its resourcefulness. It is a comprehensive resource on Web 2.0 Social Marketing techniques. It covers the full range and provides all the links that anyone can ever need to other Internet resources.
3. The Authority Site Centre. I never knew that anything of this sort existed on the Net. I launched my site in August 2006 and have done little marketing since because my whole time has been taken up by optimisation work. For 45% of the site I have done all that I can without making use of Web 2.0 techniques. The remaining 55% needs a further year’s full time work to bring it up to date. However, I want to start driving real traffic to the site on a very low to non-existent budget. With the Web 2.0 fast-traffic generation techniques promised by ASC it seems that this is what I am looking for. I shall be giving it serious consideration.
Thanks for a job well done!

I’ve been using Web 2.0 technology for over two years now and never realised there was a real technique to making the most of what’s available on this topic on the Internet.
Your Black Book is “stappit foo*” of useful snippets and nuggets of invaluable information for anyone wishing to drive traffic to their website. *Scots for “totally full, with no room for more!”
Many thanks once again, from over here in Bonnie Scotland.

September 15th, 2007 at 4:58 am
Jack, this is what I would call fabulous.
It is incredible of you to have given us all that for free as well. I am going to go over it again this afternoon and implement some of the strategies as I desperately need to drive traffic to my site. By this time next week, there should be some major improvements on my wordpress blog.
Thank you so much

The Ping List was a nice item to see because I never have had a clue as to which ones to even use!!
Thanks for giving us a chance to be in possession of a free qualitative and informative piece of material which in turns allows us to give to the world the same in return and even better.

Hi Jack,
I must say “Thank You!”.
You did it! You are giving away something you can’t buy for $97 or more, today on the internet.

I don’t know where I have been this past year because I literally stumbled upon the “Authority Black Book” 2 days ago. I have spent the past 2 days overhauling one of my blogs and implemented several of the recommended steps.
My traffic jumped from 39 to 123 in one day. I am absolutely amazed.

I don’t know where I have been this past year because I literally stumbled upon the “Authority Black Book” just 2 days ago.
I started to implement and follow some of the recommended steps. Already my blog traffic has jumped from 39 to 123 in less than 1 day.

Hi Jack,
Your Authority Black Book is simply the most comprehensive Web2.0 guide that I have come across so far.
Thank you for providing this vast amount of information, all for free! Its a shame that many of the other $97 ebooks aren’t even able to provide the same kind of information you provided for free.
I will be starting to implement some of your strategies and recommendations in the ebook. And I’m sure I’ll start to see improvements in my website.
Thanks you!
