I talked about:

• Frank Kern's "Mass Control" Avalanche that hit many peoples inbox this week.
• Google, Yahoo & MSN help you with duplicate content on your website
• Google Adwords appears to be testing their "Search Wiki" & that might hurt your quality score!

And I answered your questions about online marketing on my call-in line, through the forums here, in the Business Inner Circle members chat & the live Ustream chat.

Here's the links I mentioned from this show:

Google will use the "search wiki" only when you are signed in to your Google account.

I haven't seen it on used on the adwords when using my account, but I have been seeing this on the search results consistently for over a month now.

Have you been seeing search wiki on the AdWords ads though?

It's been running on the normal organic listings while you're logged in for a little while. It's search wiki on AdWords Ads which I'm talking about.

Looks to me like Google doesn't want to be outdone by the social bookmarking sites. So, they've incorporated user-ranking into their paid and unpaid search results.

Maybe it's a good thing. If you create a site with amazing content, the world will keep you on top of the search page. That is until someone comes out with some bot that down-rates competition sites and boosts their own ratings. Then google will have to tweak again and again until they eventually just plug a jack into the back of each internet user's brain.

P.S. I can't wait to get my sweaty little hands on my Mass Control 2.0! I just stare out my window all day like a cat in heat waiting for that UPS truck.

Hey Bill,

I have watched the video of Frank explaining Mass Control. I know it is sold out and it will be released again when he produces more copies. Is it worth the investment? I am new to Mass Control, but received emails for weeks about. I have been doing business online since 9/1/08 and it is up and down. I t is very dependant on Google driving traffic. With all the work I have done for organic traffic it has resulted in 0. I have tried social networking and still not much traffic. If I purchase the next round for Mass Control I am looking for your professional and personal opinion because I have come to trust you over the many months I have followed you, will it work for me if I do it. I do not have a significant amount of money so the investment would be substantial for me and my family. Please help.

Thanks again for everything you do. You are an original!

Thanks,
Kevin Turner

As soon as I get a chance to go through the materials completely I'll post my honest review here in the forums.

I'm glad you have trust in me. I'll keep doing my best to deserve your trust. As you know, I'm not one to "pimp" myself out to every affiliate joint venture that comes my way. I didn't even promote Mass Control as an affiliate when it launched.
