Google Nemesis
Haven’t done a review of third-party stuff in a while, so today I thought I’d talk about Google Nemesis, which launches tomorrow. It’s another product from the guy behind Affiliate Project X and other entertaining infoproducts. I haven’t received an advance copy, so this isn’t technically a review, just some comments on what’s out there.
If you visit the Nemesis site, you’ll get to view a long video. I watched it early this morning, so it’s still fresh in my mind.
The first half of the video is devoted to showing you how great a ClickBank affiliate Chris is. Not much I can say here except that I wish my ClickBank cheques (oops, checks for the Americans) were even one tenth the size of his.
The interesting part of the video is where Chris “reveals” a niche that’s been pulling him in $1500/day on average in ClickBank affiliate commissions (note this is not profit — the advertising costs aren’t subtracted from that figure). This niche is, get this, the magical water fuel cell. Apparently (and this is news to me) you can run you car on gas and water by using your battery power to convert water into oxyhydrogen which can then be used as fuel. Before you get all excited, though, let me note the following warning in the Wikipedia entry:
Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to increase automotive engine efficiency or to operate a car using water as a fuel. Many of these claims, prima facie, violate the Laws of thermodynamics.
OK, it’s a product of a dubious nature. Still, we’re not here to criticize the choice of niche but rather to talk about what Chris is doing with it.
It’s quite simple, really, he’s built a simple review page that compares three separate “run your car on water” type products (all from ClickBank) and recommends one over the other two. This is pretty old school stuff — see my Beating AdWords review.
What Nemesis claims to bring to the table are tools to help you find profitable niches and create similar review-style landing pages. Oh, did I mention it was a $67/month membership program?

Its quiet interesting am going to try this now!!!
Eric,
This is why I am not going to buy Google Nemesis. And this is coming from the guy who has bought all of the Chris McNeeney products over the past two years.
All of the products (with the exception of Day Job Killer) show how to buy AdWords ads to sell Clickbank products.
The problem is most of the ClickBank products are completely over sold one ends up paying high prices for a keywords to catch a few bottom sale customers. Thus, a part time Internet marketer ends up with an Adwords spend of 350.00 for 90.00 in Clickbank commissions. It does not work.
Further, I cannot compete with Chris McNeeney (or any of the other top affiliate marketers) on AdWords campaign budgets ($400.00 or more a day) to sell a really hot new product, so, why bother?
I understand completely!
I did a product launch AdWords campaign for iContentRobot that in theory netted me $500 after my ad spend…. too bad they haven’t paid out their commissions. Some excuse about the bank freezing their account.
Say what you will about ClickBank, at least they pay consistently and regularly
But I agree about competing with all the big guns, it’s nigh impossible.
