From what I have heard, if you didn't receive notification of an upgrade coupon, you should raise a support ticket with Brad's people. It isn't spam email if you have signed up to his list, or the emails are related to his products, services or similar marketing products, and he provides a way to opt out.
If people were offered a free upgrade, then again the best course of action is a support ticket.

I'm a big fan of SEO Elite and used it for a while not really seen much on Keyword Elite becuase I removed myself from almost all the people you have above email lists. Oh well I like what Brad has to offer and I'll go check it out. Thanks for the review Andy

Hi,

I looked for that discount and I couldn't find it. Someone mentioned something like $100 off. On some places online there are quiet a few angry owners of Keyword Elite v1. Many claim to have had promises of a free upgrade to version 2. I don't know, I never got a promise from Brad...just a bunch of spam email. I still use Keyword elite v1.3 but I have added Market Samurai...it rocks. But what it boils down to for me is finding niches with low competition in Google and to do that I also use SeoQuake-free plugin. Works for me.

It doesn't take many people to start following the rules for others to realise that they may need to improve their game.

If you had the original you also should have been sent a coupon code from Brad for a significant discount - best to check with his support desk

I have been using the original Keyword Elite for my website/ business purepointgolf.com. It has proven to be a very effective tool. I am excited to use the new version and see how it helps me now. Also, I went with the Belcher/Deiss bonus and i did not know about it till I read your blog. Thanks for the tip.

So far I have really liked Keyword Elite 2.0. I am also a big fan of Market Samurai. I went through the bonus of Michael Rasmussen which was very good too. I am surprised to see some of the better more well known Affiliate Marketers are so blatantly breaking clickbank rules.

Great post.

Hope you gained some sales from it - bonus wars on stuff like this are fun to monitor though you need a large stable of products to compete these days.

From what I have seen of the order process, the continuity is totally optional and very clear, thus it is totally up to the buyer to decide whether they want to take him up on the offer.

Hey Andy,

Thanks for the link. I stopped looking at my feed about the same time you stopped blogging, guess I will have to reactivate it now... Nice to see you back and anxiously awaiting your next move ;)

Andy thanks for your long comment.

I just think the bonus giving has gone too far which panders to the greed emotion inherent in most of us.

Of course more is better than less - except it isn't for many information products. The bigger cost is not buying the stuff but the time to read, watch, listen and then consolidate into your existing thinking.

I hold my hand up and say that I have been tempted and given in but I now have far more stuff than I have looked at.

For some high profile gurus, that means that I will never buy anything else from them until I have gone through what I've got already.

i'm a really big fan of market samurai, a great an easy tool to use. I've checked out the demo for keyword elite 2.0 and it looks pretty good. But in all honesty i think i'll keep my cash in my wallet and stick to using MS despite all these tempting promotional offers.

Affiliate must state clearly and prominently that the bonus offer is not the responsibility of ClickBank or of the seller of the primary product. I totally agree.

Re: Keyword Elite 2.0 – Bonus Wars & Clickbank Transgressions

AndyBeard — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:21:06 -0000

I think the intention is to provide everything else needed, if people have nothing.

Worse for me is when I see someone I promoted as an affiliate a few weeks or months later offer the same product (in which I created value) given as a bonus to another product.

Ultimately if they can generate enough income from the various upsells, maybe even up to 3x the income compared to the front end, then it isn't far off from the income they might receive on average from selling one of their own $97 - affiliate fees memberships, or a $500-$600 product.

They can also make their own backend offers.

Does it devalue products? Possibly, though remember that the people offering huge bonuses have huge lists to leverage, so they can offset costs better.

Overloaded? It really depends on how overloaded people already are. Many people buying info products buy everything, and then outsource or delegate analysis of information and how it is then acted upon to change internal procedures for lare internal and external teams.

These days it is not 1 guy in his pajamas necessarily buying high end info products, or at least not only, it is also people with 80 staff.

Is it just me but I think that people like Anik and Mike devalue both the product and their own stuff with "take the customer for a fool" offers like "grab our $5,373 bonus".

Get real and stop these stupid "pile them high" bonuses which overload people with stuff they don't want or need but feel guilty about not looking at.

Hey Andy,

Thanks for mentioning my bonus package.

I have taken your recommendation into account and have added some legal notices to be "clickbank compliant".

I also plan to use a bonus delivery script as soon as possible (I have one but didn't have the time to learn how to use it yet).

Great post!

This is one of the few honest reviews I've found for Keyword Elite 2.0.

I have been bombarded with offers for Keyword Elite 2.0 today, but refuse to purchase a product with forced continuity.

A free trial is great. BUT, Brad should send a notice to people who use his free trial offer to see if they want to to become members of his continuity program rather than bang their credit card after 30 days. Kinda sleezy, isn't it?
