It’s been quite an interesting time since the last post inquiring  “Is theTRAFFICplan a Scam?”

I have recieved about 20 emails with various comments… 99% in favor of the way the article treated the topic.

As I mentioned in the comments, I was closing the comments for THAT article post. We’ve had enough open forum on this and it’s time to move onto the business at hand.

As a newspaper publisher and journalist, I am used to people sometimes deciding to not only attack the message but also the messenger (as one person decided to do.)  It served no purpose to draw this out any further.

So I decided to continue on and write the next question someone might have after reading my post - it’s entitled “Web3.0 - Social Profit Streams & theTRAFFICplan - Is It Hyped-Up Bunk? Here is a small taste of the post:

Is it hype to think Social Profit Streams & theTRAFFICplan could be so powerful to change the way we think about doing business in both online or offline marketing? On the surface it sounds like hype…

Is there really any deciphering the meaning to this idea of “Web3.0 - Social Profit Streams” and theTRAFFICplan Training system? Or is it just a bunch of hyped up bunk?

Former newspaper publisher and investigative journalist Wayne Clayton (of TrafficPlanPro) recently decided to examine the difference between theTRAFFICplan & Web 3.0  Social Profit Streams.

“First, when you hear Bob DeCecco talk about Web 3.0 and the Social Profit Streams, that is the idea - the vision…

Second, when his partner Franco Gonzalez talks about theTRAFFICplan, they are referring to thetrafficplan as “the vehicle” that enables Social Profit Streams to become realized.”

Is theTRAFFICplan a Scam?

Posted by: TrafficPlanPro In: Miscellaneous

thetrafficplan_scam_alert3Is theTRAFFICplan a scam? Well, like all things cutting edge, controversy seems to follow. I noticed something posted in Google from Scam.com regarding “Bob DeCecco / thetrafficplan with Jack Weinzierl.”

Frequently I look through the Google listings for the search phrase ‘theTRAFFICplan” to see how well we are doing at TrafficPlanPro.com, and happened upon the scam.com listing ragging on some guy named Jack Weinzierl… and consequently Bob DeCecco and theTRAFFICplan. If you read the posts, they come up with some fairly heavy handed accusations/muckraking that come to the conclusion that theTRAFFICplan is a scam (some type of guilty by association premise.)

Was I shocked? Why of course. Believe it? Nope… not a bit (with a caveat.) So what do I do with the information? Well, that’s when the past training as an investigative journalist comes in handy.

First lesson in investigative journalism… check the facts. Is there subterfuge? (Subterfuge is an artifice or expedient used to evade a rule, escape a consequence, hide something, etc. As scam.com states that Jack Weinzierl… no that’s theTRAFFICplan uses the free offer to “lure people in.”) Let’s see if we can unravel this he said…she said of accusations.

Fact: I don’t know Jack Weinzierl. Never heard of Jack Weinzierl until I saw this show up fairly recently in Google. Upon further inspection, I see he was involved with an MLM type training program that went out of business. At that point the rumors started and accusations we’re made by some that it was a scam made to part people from their money. Lawsuits were filed, and judgments…legal judgments were made. At no point are Bob DeCecco, Franco Gonzalez, Jeff Long, nor theTRAFFICplan involved.  End of story…right?

But somehow, one of the moderators on scam.com decided to make theTRAFFICplan “guilty by association” due to Jack Weinzierl joining theTRAFFICplan training program. Now to clarify what this means, this is from the site, FallacyFiles.org -

“Guilt by association” is the attempt to discredit an idea based upon disfavored people or groups associated with it. This is the reverse of an Appeal to Misleading Authority, and might be justly called “Appeal to Anti-Authority”. An argument to authority argues in favor of an idea based upon associating an authority figure with the idea, whereas Guilt by Association argues against an idea based upon associating it with disreputable people or groups.

Target - The person or group being criticized
Link - An idea that the Target shares with the Bad Thing
Bad Thing - A person or group of which the argument’s audience disapproves

EXAMPLES:
Person P accepts idea I. Therefore, I must be wrong.

Hitler was a vegetarian. Therefore, vegetarianism is wrong.

All communists are civil rights supporters. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a civil rights supporter. Therefore, Martin Luther King, Jr. is a communist.
http://www.fallacyfiles.org/guiltbya.html

Get the idea? Simply by having someone they don’t like join theTRAFFICplan, the moderator at scam.com made theTRAFFICplan and Bob DeCecco “guilty by association.” Is Jack Weinzierl guilty of what the scam.com site says he’s guilty of? Don’t know…and frankly I don’t care. It’s all hearsay really. But is Jack Weinzierl somehow a mystery owner or principle of theTRAFFICplan? Good question… I put that along with a few other question straight to Bob DeCecco. Here are Bob’s answers:

WAYNE: Is Jack Weinzierl is somehow involved as a principle of theTRAFFICplan?

BOB: No

WAYNE: What exactly is his involvement with theTRAFFICplan?

BOB: Same as you, a Premier Member of theTRAFFICplan

WAYNE: Do you have an “official statement” regarding this “guilty by association” tactic being thrust upon theTRAFFICplan by scam.com?

BOB: No.  I spoke with Jack about this personally.  Long story short, the woman has made it her mission to hurt Jack because he is a strong Christian that professes his Faith openly, and she sees Network Marketing as pyramid schemes, etc.

WAYNE: Will Jack Weinzierl, aside being an affiliate, have ANY fiduciary involvement in the the company at all?

BOB: “No. Unfortunately, the upside of the internet is also the ‘downside’; no ability to hold people accountable for their actions or written word.  My position is simple…I live my life as full of integrity and righteousness as possible.  One post… can only harm  the reputation of a person or business to the extent it deserves.  All anyone has to do is “follow the yellow brick road” and do proper due diligence before arriving at a conclusion and the truth will be forthcoming.  The mere fact that she lumped ME and/or theTRAFFICplan into this is proof positive, there is no basis to her claims.  If she has a legitimate beef with Jack, it would be focused on Jack.  The fact that she has taken the time to co-mingle ME and theTRAFFICplan with something that has nothing to do with us is just further validation that she is nothing more than someone with too much time on her hands.

To use an analogy, I guess its not much different than the “National Enquirer” and what “Celebrities” must go through on a daily basis.

Wayne, we are free to enter, so people can come to their own conclusions without risk.”

Anyone having any experience in business will tell you there is no way to control what happens on the internet.  while it’s harmful to anyone’s brand to have such muckraking spread about them, it happens to Fortune 500 companies too.  You would never see a Fortune 500 company respond to such attacks publicly, and I see theTRAFFICplan taking the same position. I would go as far to say that even if Bob himself actually asked the woman what beef she had with him since I don’t believe he knows her and hasn’t done nothing to harm her…. it would do NO GOOD.

Let me reverse the tables and show you how this “guilty by association” can come back to haunt the accusers.

Does scam.com support selling and providing illegal drugs like steroids and pornography? What if I could show you “proof?”

Let me state, to my knowledge, they (scam.com) do not. But it’s a great example proven by the next story.

I recall reading a story by Brad Konia whose website was found “guilty by association” and BANNED by the search engines simply because they shared the same IP address of someone “guilty.” Let me share his story here:

What if you’re sure that you’ve followed all the rules, you’ve established some external links to your site, and the search engines are still not listing you? In that case, it’s possible that your Web site is using a “tainted” IP address.

What’s an IP address and how could it become tainted? An IP address is like a phone number, but it identifies a Web site connected to the Internet. Every computer connected to the Internet has at least one numerical IP address. When someone types your text-based domain name into his or her web browser, that person’s computer quickly looks up the corresponding IP address for the domain name and establishes a connection to that IP address.

This is kind of like looking up someone’s name in a phone book to obtain his phone number. The phone book of the Internet is called DNS, which is short for “Domain Name Service.” When you type a domain name into your web browser, your computer does a DNS lookup to obtain the IP address for that domain name.

IP addresses consist of four sets of numbers separated by periods. Each number can be between 0 and 255. For example: 192.168.0.1 would be a valid IP address. If you do the math, you’ll discover that this yields about four billion possible combinations of addresses. This may sound like a lot, but believe it or not, the Internet is running out of the addresses. Consequently, the groups that regulate the distribution of IP addresses have made it somewhat difficult to obtain a unique IP address. So, instead of having a unique IP address for every website, many hosting companies will use a single IP address for hundreds or even thousands of domains. In fact, the majority of Web sites today utilize shared IPs.

If all this technical talk is making your head hurt, please bear with me just a bit longer. It’s really important that you understand this if you want to prevent your website from becoming banned by the search engines. A recent Harvard Law School study found that 87% of all web sites use a shared IP address. The fact is that unless you’ve paid extra for a dedicated IP address, your website is probably using a shared IP address.

Now what happens if any ONE of the hundreds or even thousands of web sites that are sharing your IP address breaks the rules of one or more search engines? Yes, the search engines may remove or ban that website domain, but guess what…they may also remove every other website using the same IP address. Since it’s easier for search engine spammers to get new domain names than it is to get a new IP, search engines often choose to ban IP addresses for abusive behavior.

This means that your site can become banned even if you follow all their rules to the letter. You’re guilty by association! In fact, the April, 2002 issue of this newsletter carried an article about AllTheWeb.Com, an engine that claimed to have blacklisted over 30 million websites based on their IP addresses.

Brad Konia is the CEO of Market My Site, a leading search engine optimization and online marketing firm.  http://www.marketmysite.biz/

So let’s compare the facts…

1) The IP address of scam.com is 207.226.161.2

2) The Hosted domains on that IP address are w3bhost.com, ns1.rackco.net, and ns1.scam.com

3) Other sites (the nameservers for) related to that specific IP address are

10minuteworkouts.net
agilitydrills.net
aminoacids.net
anabolicreview.net
100freeadultsites.com
100meter.com
11sexstreet.com
bizvend.net
camel-cigarettes.net
2dozenroses.com
40wattfuneral.com
abslikestone.com
absolutestardesign.com
abstractmodelportfolios.com
abstractweddings.com

and HDPornTV.com previously on racko.net

I count one site that sold anabolic steroids (illegal) and three pornography sites.

See how you can bend the facts to accommodate “your truth?” Scam.com should know better than making theTRAFFICplan and more specifically Bob DeCecco guilty of anything. Jack Weinzierl is only a member, and that’s all the influence he has. It doesn’t matter what he’s supposedly done, it doesn’t affect anyone who’s looking to join theTRAFFICplan - at all.

Is offering free training a foray into emptying out the pocketbooks of unsuspecting members? Some of today’s most savvy marketers are doing the same thing. No one is emptying out anyone’s pockets, much less theTRAFFICplan. What they are doing is smart business… in these economic times, Bob DeCecco, Franco Gonzalez, and Jeff Long are meeting the market where it is, and on it’s terms.

I like one of Bob’s comments to me when he said “we are free to enter, so people can come to their own conclusions without risk.” That’s smart by association if you ask me.

thetrafficplan-cheatsheet-trafficplanproI love these three articles by John Ryan at his site Buyersteps.com

If you want success in your online business, website or blog using what you’ll learn from Franco Gonzalez or Bob DeCecco in theTRAFFICplan, you’ll undoubtedly start to come across some, if not most of these sites.

Learn of them, use them, capitalize on them.

A Cheat Sheet to Sites We Should Know: Part One

There is so much going on in social media, it’s difficult to keep up. So I’m starting a series on different aspects of the social media landscape. We start with social networking and bookmarking sites. I tried to focus on the sites with the most traction so the articles don’t get unwieldy. If the reader feels like I missed a social networking or bookmarking site with more traffic along with stickiness, please let me know (john@buyersteps.com). I’ll be happy to update the list if I feel your argument has merit. Also, if I made any mistakes, please let me know. There were a lot of numbers here and I learned long ago that I am not infallible by any stretch of the imagination.

On the market research part of this, I used Alexa, Compete and Quantcast to reflect sometimes similar metrics and sometimes differing opinions. I put some description of these services at the end. Some of Quantcast’s estimates were rough which means the website hasn’t registered with Quantcast. The demographic profiles of the users also came from Quantcast so if they use a rough estimate, please weigh that into your analysis. I hope all sites register with Quantcast soon to improve all transparency for everyone. Congratulations to everyone on the list, it’s not easy to get this much traffic, that’s the first hurdle.

Discover The Dynamics of a Swarm Inside theTRAFFICplan

Posted by: TrafficPlanPro In: Uncategorized

swarm theTRAFFICplanMost films about teenage life would show teenagers who have foolishly succumbed to the temptation to volunteer their homes as a place for a party. It’s a classic movie plot. What was planned as a small private gathering usually turns into a “free for all” party. Not wanting to lose face or get dubbed as “chicken”, the teens put up with all their uninvited guests. We’ve seen it dozens of times on TV and in the movies.

Different groups with different identities and views come together in a limited space. But, guess what will happen? Of course, you know all too well - clashes and havoc breakout as the different swarms collide. In our example of the teen party, the following morning they get greeted by a trashed house that reeks of beer and if they’re lucky just a few scratched or stained furniture. (It’s strange how teens never learn from the mistakes of others or even from their own mistakes.)

Nowadays those groups are called SWARMS. A swarm has been defined as **a set of (mobile) agents which are liable to communicate directly or indirectly (by acting on their local environment) with each other, and which collectively carry out a distributed problem solving.  Researchers tell us the swarm model is: degree of separation, alignment, cohesion, and avoidance between the individuals.
** http://www.molbio.ku.dk/MolBioPages/abk/PersonalPages/Jesper/Swarm.html

What you’ll learn in theTRAFFICplan, as you get involved in marketing, you find (sometimes) the adult social networking space can show many of those same dynamics. When different groups come together in a single space, the chances of collisions are always present. As more and more presences join in you can well expect the number of collisions to increase.

With the increase in the number of meeting places, (and by that I mean forums and networking,) add to that the immense number of people who can join in from every part of the world at same time, differences will surely arise. Arguments will surely cover every conceivable aspect with conversations turning accusatory or inflammatory. How groups communicate and their attitudes soon become their brand.

Individuals then gravitate towards a group based on searches or referrals and eventually to conversations that become a point of identity for the group. The collisions of many different swarms create chaos through which an individual would have to sort through to be able to create the identity that he desires. This identity will then target on its desired goal like productivity enhancement, social enrichment, improved economy or values.

Technology and leadership is the partnership that optimizes the outcome regardless of the swarms’ size or identity. Hopefully advances in technology will make it possible for the different swarms to stay within their boundaries, thus delineating visions and values. If we want to set the stage for the value creation of tomorrow, we need to focus on:

A) What we want our brand to represent?

B) What are the company vision and value statements?

C) Does the brand match the statements?

D) What are the best “spaces” to join in?

This is a fascinating topic, and I’m excited to share how it applies to business today. I will go into more details as we explore how understanding the swarm can help you build your business and brand. Next time we’ll look at the primary core of swarm business… they are -
1. How power can be gained by giving it away
2. Why you MUST share with the swarm
3. In today’s economy, it’s imperative you concentrate on the swarm, not on primarily making money

Friending - New post on SocialMarketingExpert.org

Posted by: TrafficPlanPro In: Uncategorized

The rise of social networking sites over the past few years has been nothing short of phenomenal, but yet, many people still don’t understand why these types of sites have succeeded. Especially given that many of the sites are extremely basic, and simply offer methods of communicating that people have enjoyed for decades.

I actually found Franco Gonzalez (one of the founders of theTRAFFICplan) before finding out about theTRAFFICplan. I was impressed with his approach and quality of giving and sharing real world, brass knuckles information that does what it’s supposed to…namely GET RESULTS. Franco is wise in remembering his sources and teachers when Franco told me,

“If it wasn’t for Mike Dillard’s training and concepts, I would not have understood internet marketing (in our home business niche) like I do today and Mike has been an incredible influence in my own business.”

The real world, “does it work?” litmus test for Mike Dillard is really just as impressive.  Mike has attracted over 100,000 targeted people to his newsletter and his BetterNetworker Community is vibrant and active. People are sharing there every day… all day. How many forums have you seen by big-name “gurus” who barely have anyone sharing, and if someone does, its basically just to spam others? Dillard’s community is there  to give back — to reciprocate what they’ve received from his training. As Franco continues,

“Mike puts out quality training product. And his products flat out convert! It’s easy to put a review email together, send it to my list and generate sales from putting them into Mike’s product pipeline and newsletter.”

“So if Dillard’s program is so good, why am I talking to others and sharing theTRAFFICplan with them,” you ask? If it’s basically the same, why spend the money for both?

Good question. Here’s my answer. It’s more of a reinforcement rather than a competition. Imagine holding your hand out in front of you with your fingers spread. Now lay your other hand on top and fill-in-the-gaps with your other fingers… get the idea? It not only fills in the gaps, it reinforces it. Both the model and approach of theTRAFFICplan fits’ over whatever current program you’re working or learning from.

However with that said, there are some differences in the models and approaches and overall functionality of Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard compared to theTRAFFICplan.

According to Franco,

“We allow people to link our lead capture page to their own autoresponders so they are building THEIR OWN list. Mike does not allow that. Granted, that way he takes full control of the sales process and generates sales for his affiliates.”

Second, there is a differences in the”sales process and generates sales for his affiliates. We also retain communication with our affiliates and lead the sales process, however we thought it fundamentally critical to allow people to build their own lists, as that is the most valuable asset you can build online.”

I mentioned to the man I talked to who really spurred this article for me, that I felt it’s important to build you as a brand and a business… not just your program. It’s a totally different mindset. Less of “what’s the next big thing” to “I AM what drives the thing. I help decide if it’s the next big thing or not.” It’s based on efforts..not timing.

I like what Perry Marshall said in “What to Do, and What NOT to Do, in Email Marketing“. He gives a great example of what I’m shooting toward.

Last week a guy asked me, “OK, Perry, so what should I try to do with my business, anyway? Promote a bunch of affiliate programs? Develop my own product? Or what?”

My answer: “What you want to be when you grow up is a guy with a big, responsive email list, people who bond with you on a specific topic. Or even multiple topics. But what you want is a bunch of people who read everything you send them, and buy something when you ask them to buy.”

And honestly that’s the best advice I could possibly give anyone. Nothing equals having an asset like that. While I was gone, the autoresponders continued to do their job. Sales continued to come in. My able assistant Jeremy handled the calls and all of that. When I came home, the balance in the business account was bigger than when I left and there were checks to cash in my mail pile. Why? Because I’ve cultivated a list and built a relationship with thousands of people.

from “What to Do, and What NOT to Do, in Email Marketing” ©2005 Perry S. Marshall & Associates

That last point dovetails nicely into the next point, which is The Viral List Building System. Franco continues,

The Viral List Building System in theTRAFFICplan is designed to invite people to free training and as they do that it builds our affiliate’s lists AND places people in positions under the inviter so that any sale that is made going forward generates a commission to the inviter, EVEN IF that inviter is a free member.”

Now if we compare that with Dillards Magnetic Sponsoring, you’d have to buy the Magnetic Sponsoring book to qualify to earn any commission from your invitations or promotions to others. One build a list for someone else, the approach taken by theTRAFFICplan is building you and YOUR list first.

Let’s talk about training. Last year I joined a training program by a very well known Web 2.0/ Social Web “guru.” For my $200 per month I got access to his site with reports on it and audio and video training. Sounds good..but it was TERRIBLE. How could it be terrible you ask? In was lonely. Let me relate a story for you.

Have you ever gone into a huge big box store and needed info and wanted a product but couldn’t find anyone to help you? Did you feel lonely? Well that’s exactly what I experienced. It doesn’t do any good unless there is some type of REAL interaction. Who do you talk to and WHEN can you talk to them when you have a question? In my opinion live training is key.

So I asked Franco about live training, and he said,

“we conduct live training without cost to our basic members and teach them fundamental internet and direct response marketing tactics so they can improve their abilities to promote their own primary program as well as theTRAFFICplan.”

Not only that but there is also the iLobby - this is a Communication feature that allows you to use theTRAFFICplan system and tools to TEAM BUILD and build relationships with your growing team. Far as I know, Dillard’s Magenetic Sponsoring has no feature like this, instead it’s more of a straight affiliate product that you choose to drive traffic to….and build his list…remember? And on top of that theTRAFFICplan has the TRAFFIC Rotator - Premier members get positions in the rotator that receives our own traffic. Mike does not send anyone any traffic.

Next Franco goes on to state,

“Our free and paid members get access to the iVAULT which is a space dedicated to promoting THEIR primary programs of choice. The Magnetic Sponsoring system does not have any feature like that.

You basically are using Mike Dillard’s products as a funded proposal in your follow up email marketing and it’s like a JV relationship… Mike sells his stuff to the traffic you send him and sends you a check… You send in traffic to Mike… but it does not directly help or assist in promoting or closing sales in your primary program…”

Franco closes our conversation with these thoughts,

Mike Dillard’s products and promotions convert like nobody’s business. Based on his NAME alone, his promotions sell and will always be a GREAT JV partner for ANYONE that needs to convert affiliate sales… We just took from his concept, and built theTRAFFICplan with some additional tools, and functionality that we saw lacking in Mike’s and other systems out there. We wanted to combine the elements of TRAINING, List Building, and built in Affiliate Marketing into ONE SYSTEM that promotes the free training and list building aspects on the front end and helps monetize the community by offering our own line of educational products built into the system.”

Bob Dececco wraps up this article with his insights,

“In my humble opinion, the focus shouldn’t be so much on what the differences are today, as much as what the vision holds for the future.  I personally believe we are on the forefront of a fundamental change in how business will be conducted in the next 3 -5 years; Social Media Marketing and Social Commerce (e.g., Social Profit Streams) will be a much more common and accepted practice for EVERY business; whether its the home based business entrepreneur, or the small local enterprise (e.g., local doctor/dentist practices), or Fortune 1000 companies.

Bottom line is this, what we are doing for folks today is to begin to prepare them with the basics necessary to create a solid foundation which will begin to position themselves as leaders and be prepared to take advantage of future opportunities ahead of us.  All while benefiting financially today.

At the end of the day, we may be competing in the same space today, but if my vision holds true, this will likely morph into something much more mainstream than just helping Network Marketers grow there Network Marketing businesses :)  (that’s where the real ‘blue ocean’ of opportunity lies…)”

I just got off the phone with a nice, and yet… a little frustrated man who has just become involved with theTRAFFICplan and seemed quasi-excited..yet he was concerned. His main question was based on what is the promary difference between Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring and what Franco Gonzalez offers in theTRAFFICplan?

Good question Bunko… what, if any, are the differences? Is it a waste of money to buy both? Is one better than another? If two trains were racing toward each other at 50mph…never mind,  you get the idea.

I am going to answer that plu more questions in the next exciting article (lol) from TrafficPlanPro.com.

theTRAFFICplan.com Launches… finally!

Posted by: TrafficPlanPro In: Miscellaneous| Uncategorized

trafficplanpro-thetrafficplan_launch
The A-B-C’s of internet-based direct response marketing utilizing what has been promised to be some of the most proven tactics to create multiple income streams has finally been launched by Franco Gonzalez, Bob DeCecco & Jeff Long in theTRAFFICplan.com and SocialProfitStreams.

I have been waiting for over a month now for this program to launch… and found that some were out there touting verbage like this about theTRAFFICplan:

Did You Know? theTRAFFICplan is going to COMPLETELY change the way we think about how to do business as a online or offline marketer. It’s such a simple, yet powerful concept, that if grasped early, it will create more value for selling any particular product or service…EVER!

SOURCE: http://thetrafficplanrevealed.com/

Will SocialProfitStreams and theTRAFFICplan.com do as promised? Frankly… I don’t know, but I believe so. I think this based on the people associated with it, but I go off of whats been communicated lately which has been not so frequent as I thought it would.

Does a lack of communication really matter? Probably not. The team and culture being built here is strong with proven result AND more importantly, the ability to transfer their knowledge to others.

I like what I’ve seen and heard so far, and will look forward to sharing theTRAFFICplan - SocialProfitStreams ideas with others. DISCLOSURE: I am a Master Affiliate with theTRAFFICplan. If you’d like more info, please click here.

So what exactly is theTRAFFICplan and SocialProfitStreams? Based on what I’ve seen so far, let me tell you what it isn’t.
* Not another prospecting system
* Not another training center
* Not another business opportunity
* Not another social networking type community.

So what is it? In a nutshell:
* Offers traffic generation resources
* Offers educational tools which are designed to help regardless of what other program you’re offering
* Offers a built-in monetization opportunity for new members
* Offers the information, even to free members, that teaches HOW to monetize their opportunity.
* Offers basic and advanced prospecting system tools available to both newbies and “experts.”

As I get more information in the next few days, I will share just if, and how, you can benefit from theTRAFFICplan.com and SocialProfitStreams.com.

If you’d like to follow me on Twitter, let me share with you a couple screen names:
