Poker Blog For Sale is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I am putting my poker blog up for sale. Since I added the forum to my main project Rakeback Rolls with a blogging option for all members. I don’t have a use for my poker blog. Although it has bring in most of my income over the pass year. I think its time to sell it and let someone take it to the next level and do something great with it.

The blog domain is 3 years old, pagerank 3, the blog uses a premium theme called the dealer theme valued at $215 and a banner plugin called oiopublisher valued at $47. The theme and plugin will be included in the sale.

Traffic stats
The blog gets over 500 visitors a month. The blog ranks for a lot of random keywords (all in or fold, sitngo, rush poker, limit holdem, and poker career) that could convert into signups if someone take the time to put in the right call to actions in the articles and do a little backlink building to rank number 1 for the keywords. The blog does come with a twitter account (kushmoney). The account updates with a lot of poker news and whenever the blog updates so the followers grow every month. Also it drives 10 to 40 visitors a tweet depending on the tweet message.

Revenue stats
There isn’t any revenue from signing up players as I drive all traffic to my latest project. I’m sure the right person will put in the right call to actions and make this site profitable. I did make nice amount of money from advertisements on the site. Most of the advertisements are expiring this month and next month. The more recent ads will be move to my poker news site or I will refund the advertiser. For my readers that are not in the poker affiliate business. If you buy the blog I will show you how to make over $3k a year from this website selling advertisements.

The starting bid for the blog is $500 and the buy it now price is $2,500. I am offering 10% finders fee to anyone that brings me a buyer that buys the blog at the B.I.N. price. To follow the current bid please click here.

Addons To My Big Project is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

Over the past few days I have revisited my research on forum software. My top picks was vBulletin and IP.Board for my forum. While people totally love vb 3.8 the latest release vb4 has far too many bugs for a non-techie no budget having person like me to spend my money on and then have to deal with the bugs. IP.Board is cheaper and more user friendly. So I went with the user friendly and budget friendly forum software.

After buying IP.Board I realize there are some great things I could do with the addons as well. So I bought IP.Blog and IP.Gallery. I contacted a designer/coder that specialize in Invision Power products such as IP.Board, IP.Blog, IP.Gallery, and etc. He gave me a quote on coding my forum to look like my site and I sent back a couple of questions regrading integrating aweber so when users sign up they are added to the newsletter and single log on for both my site and forum. Still waiting on a reply for that.

Until then I have been working on simple stuff like making the forums, added a few posts to see how it looks, added events to the calendar to see how that works and look, and added a shoutbox (mini chat room). I also created a blog and made a blog post to see how that looks.

I also seen an awesome video gallery addon that allows users to embed their youtube videos and others can comment on it. I think it would be great for users trying to help each other better their poker skills. I’m sure I will be active helping users become better limit holdem players and hopefully I can become a better pot limit omaha player.

I know its well known its hard to convert forum members into players. However, I will be running promotions that reward players for being active forum members, active bloggers, and since it’s a rakeback site they already rewarded for playing poker. Some of the promotions I have seen done while others I never seen done so it should be a ton of fun and a learning experience. I’m sure you can see the reasons why I want members active playing poker, posting in the forums, posting blog posts, uploading pictures, and videos.

I was thinking of adding the forum in 3 months or so. However, my players talk to me about it and I got to thinking. If I am going to build a community. The forum should be there from the very beginning. Anyways, I thought I’d update you all on what I been up too. As soon as the forum design is up, I will surely link to it or post a screenshot of it. Cheers.

Small Change In Project Focus is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

My big project I was working on a rakeback site with a twist to teach limit holdem. I have change focus a bit as I will not be teaching limit holdem and has removed the limit holdem content and publish the articles on my other websites. The small change is a step towards a better site.

Overall this project is all about building a solid brand. A brand that players would want to tell their friends, promote on their own blogs, and wear the brand clothes. While the name isn’t something one would think about branding the logo surely change that view.

So to speed up development I have decided to take on one or two financial partners. I don’t know how long it would take to find a partner. It’s not going to stop me from focusing on building my own funds to develop the site. Anyway, you want to invest or know someone else that would like to share in the profits without doing the work. Please visit this thread. Thanks

Back To Work is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I took a small break from working which was great. I watched seasons 1 through 5 of Weeds. Now that I am back getting things done. I also did some thinking about the goals of this month. While content is great, it’s not going to make money today. Content is more of a long term, return on investment.

I will be producing and buying content as always. However, I am going to turn my focus to branding my rakeback/limit holdem site. I set up 2 tournaments to run every weekend. I am also, going to run some freeroll tournaments to bring in more subscribers to my mailing list as well as drive sign ups to smaller online poker rooms.

Things Done Since I’m Back…
I set up a $25 freeroll tournament on Full Tilt Poker for my rakeback site. All of my players will be added in the tournament so all the password/freeroll whose looking to sign up to my mailing list just for the password will be out luck with that. However, I will try to convert them with the $25 freeroll tournament on playersonly as a cross promotion for my rakeback site and a poker forum I bought advertisement on. Depending on how well these tournaments do I will host more of them.

As for content, I have produce some articles for article marketing as well as news articles for my poker news site. I did a lot of editing stuff, moving stuff around to add more banner slots without over doing it. I think I did a good job of it. I also decided to start taking some direct ad orders on this site so we will see how that goes for boosting my direct ad sales.

Hopefully the sign ups from the tournament promotions and the traffic from the poker news site will boost the monthly affiliate marketing income. From the monthly income reports we all know my affiliate marketing income isn’t up to par with my direct ad sales. Also, I will begin my bankroll challenge on my poker blog soon so hopefully the readers I gain from it will join me at the tables by signing up through my rakeback site.

With all that being said, I guess I decided to change this month from being about content to producing more signups and affiliate marketing income. Let’s see what happens.

Half Way Through The Month is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

It’s a little over half way through the month. I am not liking how things are going but then again when things run slowly in the first half of the month I push harder to make the second half better. Today I want to go over a few things. May goals, a few things added to the “to do list” this week, and how the income is coming along this month. First let’s get into this month’s goals. I want to complete 10k words of new content, revamp one of my sites, rank on the first page for 5 keywords, and complete the follow ups for the newsletter using aweber for my new site.

So far I have done over 6k words of new content. So half way through the month I am over half way done with goal number one. I am really happy about this because I got into the mood of not writing my own poker content. Now that I am writing again, I really feel bad about selling the content. The articles are so good I want to place them on my site for my players to benefit from them. However, I need the money to fund my project. I will touch more on the income later. Some of the articles I do keep for myself if I feel it’s more beneficial to place the article on my site. I also use some of the articles for article marketing if I don’t like the way it came out or if it’s shorter than 400 words.

Now goal number two is a little more work than just writing. This site I plan on changing from a poker community into a online poker news site with a little twist. I have taken off the dead poker forum, change some of the sidebars with an awesome wordpress plugin, and since I took off the forum where the poker commercials was published. I am going to add a poker commercials section. I still have to pay for the reviews, a new design, and logo as well as hire a poker news writer. The only problem with this project is funding. I told myself this project will only be funded by its income. So far, it has been producing from 2 online poker rooms and direct ad sales. However, I played poker with some of the funds and lost. It was during my downswing. So this project will be fund by my poker winnings since things have turned around and any direct ads I sell on it for now on.

Goal number three, this goal is bothering me a bit. I 301 redirected my test site which had a nice amount of backlinks and 301 redirect 3 mini sites to the new site. At first it seem google was taking forever and day to update the search results with the new site. Then it updated, I was happy until I notice some rankings dropped and others complete disappeared! So I began working on getting some of my rankings back by building backlinks for them but the more backlinks I built the more they dropped so I stop building backlinks for awhile. The rankings are coming back.  Then I read on PAL a lot of people are having all types of problems with google search results. So I guess I will have to ride the wave until things claim down. Until then, I am 1 out of 5. Rank for my own domain name. Not something I am happy about since that is pretty damn easy to do.

My final goal of the month, finish the follow up emails for the newsletter. I did this in the first week of the month. It took a lot of thinking and writing but I got it done. I should count the writing in the new word count for goal number one but I am not going to do that. I did 14 follow up emails including the welcome email. If the newsletter can not convert a player into a real money player producing rake each month I don’t know what will. Also I have some follow up emails that promote some poker tools that such bring in some nice sells as well. Once I get some training videos on the site I will be adding those to the follow up emails as well. By the time I am done with this newsletter it will have a ton of follow up emails. I will never have to send out a promotional email. We all know I will anyway.

Things I added to this months to do list. Create a facebook fan page for the new site, create a twitter page for the new site, and this one can wait until later maybe next month but it’s on the to do list. Hire someone to answer questions on Yahoo Answers. Personally, I think outsourcing this is best. It will give me time to complete other things.

The break down of income and what needs to be done. This month I said, I was not going to focus on direct ad selling. So far this month, I must say I only made a few comments this month in my sales threads. A few people contacted me but no deals. I have been focus on selling articles though. I stocked myself this one though. When it comes to something hard to make money. I normally run back to what I know best if I don’t see results fast enough. However, that’s not the case this month. I am really replacing my direct ad sells income with article writing. I have a few problems with this though.

1. Coming up with things to write about.
2. Getting over the feeling of keeping the article.
3. Knowing I will have to produce 50 articles to make $1,000

Now there is an up side to writing articles over selling direct ads. At first I didn’t even think of this but after talking with a friend. He help me realize a couple of benefits to writing articles than selling direct ads.

1. I only have to write 20 articles to replace my $400 a month income from selling direct ads
2. I will have less outbound links from my site. Which is always a good thing. I rather do internal linking.

As you can see there are good and bad things about selling articles than selling direct ads. I don’t know if I can write 50 articles a month plus content for my own sites. However, I have no problem producing 20 articles a month for $400+.

What will I do with the income? Here’s a break down of what will go where. All direct ads sold on my soon to be poker news site as well as some of my poker winnings will be reinvested there via producing content and hiring a poker news writer. All direct ads sold on my poker blog will be used for producing content and SEO for my new site. All articles sold will go towards producing content, design work, and SEO for my new site.

Summary
In my opinion, I done very little work in the first 2 weeks of this month and need to really pump out new content this second half. I only wrote 9 articles to sell this month so far. 11 more needed to completely replace my direct ad sells income for this month. Who knows if I will complete it. I been having writers block a lot lately. I think I am still having troubles getting back into the writing groove. Although, I always seem to crank out 1 or 2 articles around a long poker session. The twitter and facebook pages will be completed this week. However, I will have to find out the cost of a custom design for the facebook fan page landing page. If that make sense to you. I will wait on getting though. There are far more important things need to be done on the new site.

Here’s a little self promotion for my articles sales thread. Support my project and add new content to your site by buying an article or two maybe all of them. Until next time, work hard and work smart.

Starting Budget Needed To Start An Online Business is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I was on a webmaster forum. Not going to say which one. However, one guy asked can he start a online business with $25. Of course, you there’s people that do not have their own website or business but will answer yes or no base on what they read in the forums. Then there’s people that have their own online business that will give an answer of yes or no and some will give little tips to get started. (Me being one of them)

What I have noticed is there are 2 types of people positive and negative in 2 different categories. I will go over these different types of people and then let you all voice your thoughts on this as I know how I am and what my answer is to this. I just thought it would be great to hear from everybody views and opinions about this topic.

Little to no budget (Positive person) – This guy or girl is very positive about starting an online business. Ready to learn and work hard. However, has little to no budget but still goes for with it. (lol, I did this)

Little to no budget (Negative) – This guy or gal is very negative about having little to no budget to start an online business. Generally, these people do one of two things. Don’t start the business at all until they have a big budget which may take longer than starting the business and bring in an income from that business or they start the business with that mindset that their going to fail because of not having a budget.

Has a budget (Positive) – This guy or gal knows that he or she will be success because they are willing to learn, work hard, and has a budget to buy any resources they need. Generally most of these type of people are successful because they work just as hard a person with no budget however has a budget to do things faster and better.

Has a budget (Negative) – Now these are the people I have no choice but to laugh at. (I know im wrong for doing so but I don’t care) These type of people has a budget yet still negative about starting an online business because they think their budget isn’t big enough. They fail even with a budget because they let the thought of not having a bigger budget get in the way of their work.

The debate on the webmaster began when little to no budget people started saying yes you can start a business with $25 and some said $0. Of course me saying that I had to voice my thoughts on this because I started with $0 and just look at my income reports.

Some people stated that starting with $25 is not starting a business but starting a hobby. I guess I run an 3 figure a month a hobby soon to be 4 figures. LMAO! Also, in the IRS eyes, if you make a single dollar from your so call hobby. It is indeed now a business!

What do you think? What budget is needed to start an online business?

2010 Professional And Personal Goals is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

2009 has come and gone. I find myself in a position of knowledge. That’s right, knowledge. I spent almost the whole 2009 year in search of the perfect niche. Funny thing is I was in it the whole time. I totally forgot about the number one thing that is said so much in the webmaster forums. Follow your passion and the money will follow.

I blogged about poker on kushmoney on random days but never told it serious. I was too focus on teaching others how to blog since that is a serious passion of mine. Not the teaching but helping others. I love helping others. I have no idea why though. I just do. Anyway, early 2009 I decided to totally focus on poker on kushmoney and make this self name blog for everything else.

Funny thing is I kept teaching people how to blog on this blog until I got bord of it while kushmoney has paid for a flip camera, 2 laptops, membership to outstandingpoker (poker training site) and so many other sites I have built, own, run, and others I have sold for profit.

Now that you know what happen in 2009. Lets get into the goals for 2010.

2010 Professional Goals

My 2010 professional goals are pretty simple. Expand my business by building more mini sites within the poker niche, launch my online poker tour, and build a community in my poker forum. Get alot of new players signed up to online poker rooms I am promoting. Everybody knows my biggest goal is $10,000 a month. However, I know I will not complete this in 2010. My goal for 2010 is $2,000 to $5,000 a month.

2010 Personal Goals

Oh boy, the personal goals. First lets get the things out of the way that money can take care of. I want to pay off my debt, get a used car. Something to get me from point A to point B, and last but not least I want to move to Vegas. I want to start my life over and what better place than Vegas!

With that being said, I think its time for me to find myself outside of business, poker, and food. When it comes to business, poker, and food. I know where I stand in life. Outside of that, I am lost. So I really want to get to know me. I also want to gain some weight and finally take the time to workout. lol

On a side note, my ex is my back in life. I guess its a good thing. She is my bestfriend. We didn’t breakup on bad terms or anything like that. Not to go into detail, we just on different paths in life. Deep down I would love for her to move to Vegas with me. So you could say that is one of my 2010 goals. However, I am not putting it on the list.

Recap of 2010 goals list

Build poker mini sites
launch online poker tour
Build community on poker forum
Income to $2-$5k a month
Pay off debt
Get a car
Move to Vegas
Find myself outside of business, poker, and food
Gain weight and workout
Get ex-girlfriend to move to Vegas with me

My 2010 goals are pretty straight forward. I know for a fact I will complete most of them. I will not allow myself not to be successful at completing these goals. The only 2 I find myself struggling with is completely paying off all my debt and finding myself. I am ok with that. The rest I will complete for sure!

What are your 2010 goals?

When Things Make Sense is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I know, the title is a little off but that’s ok. I am not trying to rank in the search engines with this post. I just want to update you guys and gals on what’s been going on. Things have been coming together and everything is making sense. Which is why I titled this post when things make sense.

First lets talk about my number 1 money maker kushmoney the poker blog. Since I started back doing blog posts on it. The traffic has gone up. I deleted all the old entrepreneur blog posts on it. If you didn’t know kushmoney was my first entrepreneur blog before I switch it over to poker. I know what some of you are thinking. What about the keywords you use to rank for. Well any traffic I am getting for those keywords, visitors are going to the 404 error. Which I set up to make money

I also got in contact with a poker affiliate that has made a wordpress plugin to manage an poker league. Which is what I needed to run the online poker tour I am setting up on kushmoney. Over the pass month I have been thinking of which online poker room would be most profitable to run my poker tour on. If I go with one of the 2 biggest online poker rooms on the internet today. I will make very little money since everyone trying the poker tour will already have an account. So I had to go over which online poker rooms have software that is compatible with both pc’s and mac’s. Don’ want to leave anyone out. You know?

So about a week ago, one of my poker affiliate mentors told about a online poker room that is still small, converts well, and has not only poker but casino, sportsbook, and horse betting. So I know the profits are there. If any of my poker players stop playing poker and starting betting in the casino, on his favorite teams in the sportsbook, or on horses. I still make money. Great thing about this is they are a small poker room which will mean that most of my players will have to signup to the poker room through my links and banners.

Now on to my baby, Poker Commercials. This project is my love. I keep coming up with ideas to help it grow faster or improve the user friendliness of the site. Besides taking the time to find poker commercials on youtube to place on the site. I added a poker forum which is starting to grow. Kind of lucky I guess. (Even though I don’t believe in luck)

Let me explain, I was on myspace just looking at people profiles went I came across this beautiful women that loves poker. Of course, me being me, I sent her message saying hi and how I can beat her poker. Which of course, got her to reply. We found each other played on full tilt poker. We became good friends and I told her about the poker forum. Come to find out, she plays in a lot of freeroll (free) tournaments. Which allowed her to become friends with alot of poker players. Which she been telling other players about the time. She kept asking me when I was going to set up a freeroll tournament for the site. I told her sometime around Christmas.

Last week I set up an $25 freeroll (free) tournament with the idea of building a mailing list. So to only award entry into the tournament. I made it as a Christmas for only confirm newsletter subscribers. Yesterday was the day of the tournament. Each day before yesterday, I was getting around 4 to 8 new subscribers. The day of the event, I got over 100 new subscribers. How crazy is that? I am happy with the results.

Many poker affiliates don’t like running freerolls because the players are hard to convert from play money to real money poker players. However, I have come up with a plan that should not only convert a good percentage of them but also help me get more freeroll tournaments without me paying for them and help poker commercials get notice in the poker forum world.

Which leads me to my next project that I finshed, Reefer Poker Deposit Bonus. It’s a mini site that tells poker players the pros and cons of playing at the online poker room and provides a coupon code for an exclusive bonus only found on my mini site. Thanks to my affiliate manager at reeferpartners. Which is very friendly and helpful. Easy access to him on skype.

Which leads me to my next project, Relationship Money. I was on skype talking with a group of entrepreneurs. We all was talking about our niches. Since I am so focus and passionate about poker. I talked about it alot and they was asking about how the payment works with promoting online poker rooms. So me being me love to help people and don’t like to repeat myself over and over again. I made a website that explains the commissions, details about the online poker rooms affiliate programs, and a lot more will be added to the site once I am finish with it.

I know you wondering why I pick this domain. Well truthfully, I was going to write an ebook to sell on how to make money promoting products on how to get your ex back. My case study was a failure. The ebook never was completed and sold. Since I have to work one on one with each of my sub affiliates. I thought the name was a perfect fit because I will be building a business relationship with anyone who is serious about becoming a poker affiliate. I also added some services that will help people get started faster.

I have many more projects planned. I just ran out of funds to complete them quickly. So next month, I will be on the hunt for alot of advertisers. I am not going to set any goals for next month at the moment since the new year is around the corner. Ill make a blog post about my goals for the 2010 year.

As you can see, I have been a very busy guy. I have got alot done with a lot more to do. I will try to make more posts here. Just post a comment on what you really want to read about and ill try to have a blog post asap. Until next time, let your desire drive your motivation and everything will work out.

Planning, Action, and Fun! is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

Hey everybody, I know I haven’t made a blog post here in awhile. I have been blogging a little though, just not here. I will get to that a little later in the post. I am felling a lot better since I last made the post breakups and movies. Thanks to all your comments (and tweets) throughout the month. They really helped me feel a lot better. One of you had a bad idea, you know who you are. Go sit in the corner and have a time out. lol just joking with you Gary. We all handle things differently and I respect that.

Now moving along, I been a very busy man this month. I think the income will speak for itself but why wait? Since I name this blog post planning, action, and fun. Why not start with the fun and work our way down to the planning? Good, since we on the same page and you have no choice but to read as I wrote it. lol We will start with the fun.

I purchase my membership to outstanding poker. I really like the lessons they have from the articles and podcasts to the videos. I learn a lot from them and improve my poker skills. They have one style of play and each lesson goes over it again and again to make sure you learn it like taking a breathe. It’s all about becoming a profitable poker player. I assure you, I am not there yet. For almost 2 weeks, I use the same $50 over and over again going up and down until I had one bad day (Thinking about my ex) and lost it all. It’s ok though, I can see the improvement in my game. It’s been really fun playing poker almost everyday. Whenever I am not working on my poker sites.

Now that we covered my fun/training to be a pro poker player. Let’s get into the work that I have been doing this month. I have 2 poker websites. One everyone knows about which is my poker blog (if you new here) I just bought a new theme for it and I love it. Perfect for what I need to do with the site. I am holding a $25 design contest on DP for my logo. So far the logos I have seen from them are awesome, I am going to have a hard time picking a winner. I wrote a few blog posts, outsource 3  articles, one didn’t make it, someone bought it from me. I still have alot of work to do it on though.

My other website is poker commercials. I thought of making this website because I enjoy the poker commercials and surely others do to and I was right. I just need to rank for the keywords I am aiming for and traffic will be rolling in. I added a forum to the site to connect with other poker players. Too bad all that joined the site isn’t active. Only a few are active. I had a problem with the registration to the forum at first but I fix the problem with a plugin. I have done a lot of posting in the forum and planning to do a lot more posting articles in it pretty soon. (if you want to talk poker with me please join the poker forum) My personal web designer/good friend was in a good mood doing logos all week. He offer to do the logo for poker commercials which turned out great because I used it on the official poker commercials twitter account. I left off the “s” on the twitter account to rank for the keyword “poker commercial” a lot more searches than with the “s” got to have all the traffic I can get you know?

Since I am trying to make money affiliate marketing in the poker niche. I will be building mini sites. Which will be my backlink building for both my main poker sites. Got to love those footer links Anyway, I know you notice the CPA network and poker affiliate program banners. If any of you ever need help getting started. Please don’t be shy, I am always glad to help. You all help me when I was sad and a little depressed really. Now I am happy go lucky and working my butt off to be successful like I know I can be.

Now lets get down to the planning. My hosting business is still in the planning stages because my partner nor I can think of a good web hosting name that isn’t already taken! I lost count of how many names I came up with and come to find out their taken. Don’t get me wrong, as you can see I have been working this whole time and my partner hasn’t stop designing the site. I swear he is over thinking the design however I understand how he feels about web design. So I let him design and redesign the websites design over and over again. If you have any ideas for a good web hosting domain name. Please let me know, thanks.

That is all I been up too lately. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Since I love Italian food so much I started to learn Italian as my second language. The speak is pretty easy for me. However, the reading and writing on the other hand. Well not so much. I think it would be best if I bought rosetta stone to learn Italian a lot faster! It would sure help get a lot of signups in the poker niche. If I could read and write in Italian.

Until my next post. Let your desire drive your motivation!

Every Product Needs An Affiliate Army is a post from: Deneil Merritt - Journey through life

I talked about why my ebook never sold a single copy. One thing I left out of that article, I want to talk about today. Thanks to a commentator, I remember this one mistake I did with my ebook. One thing you focus on before and after you have launched a product is getting affiliates. This is one thing I spent about a few minutes doing. This is one of the worst mistakes you can do. Affiliates are one of their most important parts of your product success. Doesn’t matter if its an ebook, membership site, or whatever.

Lets say its just you promoting your product. How many sales do you think you can get? For this example, I am going to say you got enough skills to get 1 sale a day for a $20 product. 30 days in that month. $20×30 results in $600 for that month. Not bad right? You only one person, picture that with a lot more force behind it.

Still product and for this example, its you and 10 affiliates with the same skills as you. You pay affiliates 50% on every sale. You each make 1 sale a day for 30 days. $20×30 which resulted in $600 from you promoting. 10 affiliates does the same as you but they get 50%. So 10 affiliates x $300 each result in $3,000 in your bank account or paypal account from your affiliates. You total for the month is $3,600.

Do you see the power in having affiliates promoting your product? Having an army of affiliates will result in big sales and even better. If you build a mailing list just for your affiliates to sign up too. You will have great success for every product launch you do because you built an army of affiliates ready to product all your products.

I am sure you got my point by now. Don’t count out affiliates! They are your bread and butter so treat them well and everyday recruit more to promote your products. You should at least put away 30 minutes of your time everyday just to recruit more affiliates. Sure you will get a lot of affiliates that will drive un-targeted traffic to your sales page and result in no sales. They are getting more eyes on your brand and getting your name out there if you have your name on the sales page. Whenever they email you, help them as best you can.
