The World Internet Summit (WIS) is making its third annual visit London, as I type, to the Earls Court conference centre in London.  It started on Thursday 15th Nov and finishes after four days on Sunday.

Paul and I attended the first WIS event in the UK in 2005 and generally we had a great time.  So having had a year off, we thought it was time for another visit.

The event was created by Ted Ciuba from the USA, Tom Hua originally from China but now an Australian citizen and Aussie native Brett McFall.  Last year Ted's passion for creating an updated 'Think and Grow Rich', the classic by Napolean Hill, meant he decided to leave the event with Tom and Brett in charge to run the show - which has appeared in Australian, USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates, Japan and of course the UK.

From the conversations I had, just like our attendance in 2005, the majority of the 500 attendees are new to business on the internet. Drawn by the promise of freedom from the daily grind in a regular job and the opportunity to generate a huge income by working a few hours a week, from anywhere in the world, using your laptop.

The way these events work (and yes, there are many such events) is that the speakers are invited to deliver two things - inside knowledge on running some aspect of your internet business and secondly an offer.  To speak at this kind of event you must have a high value, high price product to sell and offer during your talk.  The events make their money by taking a split of the profit from the sale of each speaker's product - products ranging from US$1000 to maybe US$10,000 (I'm writing in the afternoon of day 2, and the highest priced product so far was just under $4,000). I think understanding that helps you enjoy the event - expect to be sold to, but expect great information too.

One of the unique selling points of the World Internet Summit is the 'World Internet Challenge'.  Where a product is created and marketing set in motion during the event.  I'll tell you more about that and Shaune Clark who ran the challenge in a later post… followed, of course, by the answer to the big question… how much money can Shaune make in the four days of the event?

We'll also tell you more about each of the speakers and the overall agenda in posts to follow shortly!

Keywords and phrases drive internet search, they drive search advertising and so they are used in search engine optimisation.

And I’m going to let you into a little secret… when we do SEO for our clients or ourselves and when we are looking for the best combination of keywords and price for advertising (looking for niche phrases that arn’t going to cost £££’s per click), we use WordTracker.

The folks at Wordtracker periodically compile a database of over 330 million search terms which is updated on a weekly basis - and then makes it available for our research, which they make pretty straight forward.

Anyway, my point is that as one of their clients and affiliate partners they have given us the ability to pass on a rare discount opportunity on to you… a 15% discount on their service during November, so it ends on November 30th.

To take advantage visit

Enjoy!
