Money Making Opportunities

HyperVRE or just hype?

I expect that like me, you have received several emails asking you to buy a selection of Adsense ready templates. Each email seems to offer more and more bonuses, and it is so easy to get more caught up in getting the bonuses then it is focusing on the product. Internet marketers know this, which is why each one ups the bonus count so that the unfortunate subscriber automatically goes to the one with the highest value(?) bonuses. They know that if you see the template product offered with a ridiculous bonus value of $5495, you will buy that template package rather than one with only $3495 bonus value, and this will put up the advertisers affiliate commission.

Of course they know that this is a good way to get rid of excess ebooks that they probably got for free anyway.

Many newcomers to internet marketing fall for this marketing ploy, while experienced marketers know that they need to completely disregard the bonuses and look at the actual product being sold as a stand alone purchase in its own right. You need to do this too. Ask yourself “Is this product really worth the price being asked, if you disregard the bonuses?” By the way, most of those supposedly high value bonuses just end up cluttering up your hard drive, gathering e-dust. You will have so many of them that you will forget what you have downloaded.

All of this brings me to my point. I looked at the Adsense templates, and thought “Are they worth the money being asked?”. My answer to myself was a resounding “No”.

Why was that my answer? Because the number of websites I could create were limited, and that any sites I did put up would be very much the same as everyone else’s.

I had previously seen emails promoting Matt Callen’s site making software, which he calls HyperVRE. I knew he was the brother of Brad Callen’, and that Brad’s SEO Elite and Linkmetro software products are highly respected on the internet. On that basis I decided to take a look at HyperVRE, especially as it had an attractive price of zero!

I must admit that my first instincts on reading the manual after downloading the package were that it all seemed a little daunting, until I realised that the perceived complexity of having to enter variables in the templates was in fact an asset, as this is what makes sites created with HyperVRE so customiseable, sites can be created which will be completely different from every other HyperVRE owner. This is so important, as search engines are pretty hard on duplicate content.

Well, firstly you open up a new project, and name it; this name will be the theme of the site you are going to create.

Then you are asked to put in a fairly generic keyword like “golf”, or “dog training”. This will describe the generic theme of your site. Immediately HyperVRE generates a list of suggested keywords relating to your main keyword. You can use these in total, or discard the ones you don’t want, you can also add your own keywords, which you have got from a keyword research tool such as SEO Elite.

Then you add your templates, which you have previously edited with an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver to make them uniquely yours. If you don’t have Dreamweaver, there are plenty of other HTML editors to choose from. Just do a search in Google, or the one I use; www.searchbigdaddy.com HyperVRE will then search and add related articles and RSS feeds.

HyperVRE will also add any images you would like to use from your own image folder to pretty up your site, plus three pay per click links, which will be your own Adsense, Amazon and PayDotCom codes. These would have been entered by you when you ordered the product, and are hard coded for you.

Next step is to press the button marked “Save project and generate Pages”, wait a few moments, and that’s it!

All you need to do now is upload your new sites by FTP up to your server, and your presence is now established on the net. You’re done!

How easy was that, even for a no-hoper like me? Once you have edited the generic templates you got with HyperVRE with an HTML editor, and saved them as your own specific templates, you are only a few keystrokes away from creating your new site.

I will say that the member’s forum is a real bonus, as the members were certainly a great help. One even went so far as to publish his own help manual in the forum – thanks Mike!

This is a far better bonus than those over-rated ebooks you would have got with the template offer, and the great thing is you can use this software to create an unlimited number of sites, not just how ever many you get with other offers.

Of course there is an upgrade to Gold membership available, which I got after about a week of playing with the software and realizing its potential. What do you get with your HyperVRE Gold membership?

• You can manually add your own articles, rather than the ones supplied by HyperVRE. This was very important to me, as it meant I could add laser targeted articles, some with my embedded affiliate links in them.
• You can manually add RSS feeds which you have chosen yourself as being of particular relevance to your site.
• You can manually add your own affiliate links for whatever products you want to sell on your site. This could be a real money spinner, and should pay for the price of the upgrade in itself.

One tip if you do plan to upgrade to Gold membership to take advantage of these valuable extras – order from the one time offer page – if you go away to think about it, when you get back you’ll find the price has gone up by $30 – it really was a one time offer.

May I finally say that I am not connected with HyperVRE in any way, apart from being an obviously very satisfied customer, and that this review is completely unsolicited, I am just writing to possibly help people in their choice of Adsense template software.
