StomperNet Free Trial Review - Why I Cancelled and Search Engine Marketing Resources

Filed Under Search Engine Optimization, StomperNet

Scamhunter wanted my later thoughts on StomperNet. There is a pretty good review on his site of his experience in the program.

So I cancelled my subscription, and here’s why. There is a ton of great information on the site from videos, audios, active forums and instructors. The information that StomperNet provides is great for someone just starting out with an online business or Search Engine Marketing. I wish I had a resource like this 5 years ago. That being said, for someone who has been around the Internet and search engine marketing world a while may not come out of the program with that much, at least within the first 30 days. For the $1 dollar trial members, after the first 30 days, the offered a limited program for $97 per month instead of the full $800 or so per month program. Personally, I could not justify the value of the $97 per month subscription.

If you are looking to learn about search engine optimization and don’t have the $97 per month to blow, consider Aaron Wall’s SEO Book as a good start and is always up to date. I’ve had the book for sometime now and it’s rock solid information. If you don’t want to pitch out for the book just yet, his blog is filled with deep insights.

Speaking of SEO Blogs, be sure to check out SEOMoz. Rand and his team spit out blog post gold. They even to videos every Friday. They also have a premium membership, of which I’m a member, that allows you to have access to books, and resources only available to subscribers.

But Of course, if you want to spend money on your search engine marketing education, the best investment you can make is a round of beer at a conference!

BTW. If anyone is in the North Florida area and wants to talk search from me or other talented professionals in Jacksonville check out the Search Engine Marketing Association or Jacksonville, FL (SEMJAX.org).

That’s enough for now, I’m leaving on a Jet Plane. Exciting changes but more on that in a later post.

StomperNet Trial - Week 1

Filed Under Search Engine Optimization, StomperNet

I’ve been digging around the StomperNet free trial for the past week or so. I’m actually quite surprised with the amount of information available to full members. Unfortunately, I can only see a sneak peek of everything since I’m in trial mode and I get cut off in the middle of the video. There are a ton of video training sessions that walk users through, step-by-step, skills like keyword research and setting up an AdWords account. Pretty basic stuff, but I wish I had a resource like this when I was getting started in search. I haven’t seen much value for someone with more experience in search marketing, but there is still a few more weeks to go in the trial. They say they’ve got a few bonuses for more experience marketers to be revealed during the next few weeks, so we’ll wait and see. I’ll continue to dig around and hopefully pick up a new tactic or two.

StomperNet $1 - 30 Day Trial

Filed Under Search Industry News, Search Engine Optimization, StomperNet

If you’re in Internet or search engine marketing and haven’t heard of StomperNet you must have been living under a rock. These guys (Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins) know how to launch a product and have been going full steam this past week for the reopening of membership to the try it before you buy it crowd (like me). I just signed up for StomperNet’s $1 dollar trial and have been looking through the members area. I must say there there is a ton of information that full members get. Unfortuntely, $1 members don’t get full access. The 30 day trial opened today and closes Friday at midnight. I say it’s worth taking a look at, and much better than the $795 per month price take usually attached. I’ll keep you up to day of my progress through these next 30-days. $795 a month is a lot of cash to spend on a program, but if it works - it works.
