Tim Houston is the ‘Google Shadow’ mentioned in the latest DJK Chris X product. Tim is a friend of mine since March 2008 so I have been talking to him about the product and I thought you might like to hear him explain his technique. We were hanging out last week in Mexico and he is one of the nicest guys in this industry. He really does live the Internet Marketing lifestyle from the profits of the method he is now sharing.

Some people are way off track
Already I have seem some misguided reviews for Google Shadow surface from people who plainly have no clue what it is. I like to bring you the Author Tim Houston direct so you can make up your own mind about what this product is and if the product is right for you. It must be said that Tim and myself are not pushing this to anyone, only you can decide if it is right for you or not. I have been using the software and read the Google Shadow guide already. I love the simplicity of it when combined with the method.
Tim gives up some gold nuggets
He is so generous he has revealed many of the best ideas right here in this free interview. Some of the great points he mentions are that he has experienced the most success from independant programs rather than the mass marketplaces. 80% of his income comes from places OTHER than Clickbank etc… He also reveals some numbers thet he considers essential for success with direct linking. One thing that struck me is the volume of ads he is generating.
Is direct linking dead?
Nope. Tim only ever uses direct linking without landing pages, without link cloaking, without iFraming. He also makes plenty of mistakes like not using negative keywords or doing any keyword research. In some cases he does not even track to keyword level. Huh? Yes, the system Tim uses is SO simple it only requires a starting budget, a calculator, some ACTION and determination.
He changed my mind
When I was lucky enough to discuss direct linking at length with Tim face to face last year I went home and started it myself. This was one of the inspirations for my own PPC success (which I documented in DoubelDigitCTR.com). Tim is able to get ads up for over 300 merchants in one day using his special software plus some outsourcing.
What is Google Shadow?
Google Shadow is a monthly software access where you get to use the special tool Tim has developed over several years. You can fire this up and make as many campaigns for Google, Yahoo and MSN as you like. It autofills and structures campaigns in the perfect variables. You do not need a website because it is hosted for you and updated as changes are added. The other component is the simple ebook.
Don’t expect anything complicated
Tim will tell you he is lazy – I would say he is smart. He has worked out the parito technique (80:20 rule) of only focusing on the things that are working. He figured out how to crack the code and then does it over and over again. There are no landing pages, link building, SEO, list building or review sites required.
The short ebook that comes with Google Shadow does give great tips on bid strategy, keyword tracking, keyword layout and PPC ad types. Tim even explains how you can reduce your debt if you are new and just starting out. You won’t find high detail or techical jargon. The most complicated part is the ROI forumla and that is still very simple.
Who is this for?
This is for someone who has a budget to buy some traffic and the perserverance to crank out at LEAST 100 campaigns. Ideally you will launch 1000 camapigns. Tim feels most people fail because they never do enough campaigns. He is the guy who taught me that nine out of ten campaigns will fail so you need to fail fast and keep the winners.

Trying to locate & ‘verify’ Tim’s (original) Google Shadow site so that when I click the buy button, his accounts get the $$$ as I’d like to acquire his (recurring) bonus package.
Anyone care to share this URL?
I got (what I think) is an email from Tim (I wont’ post it here) but there are so many imposters sending me 411, it is hard to say who’s is legit v. made up.
Any ideas on this?

Well now everything is more or less clear, same as Arbitrage Conspiracy but much cheaper. Still massive cranking which means not starting budget but rather huge starting budget -100 campaigns let us say $50/day each, so one at least needs $5K to start small) But it is better to run 1000 campaigns;)

Hi Valentyn,
I think it is a little different. We are talking here about a tool and a technique that involves small campaigns for testing. Tim mentions what bidding strategy to use when your budget gets to $15. Also he mentions how many clicks to let it run and that you need to quit fast.
Try running less campaigns on a lower budget until you are comfortable.
Out of 100 you will get several winners.

So ‘realistically’ — what would a guy New to PPC Adwords using GS need to budget to have a decent chance at competing with the other 4,000+ people who have bought GS already?
The ChrisX audio interview mentioned $500 to his name? I can invest $500 to launch my 100+ GS campaigns (and) if I watch and track my CTR carefully, kill the losers fast enuff, keep the winners (and improve on them) this model will work 4 me?
Valentyn

Could be, anyway thanks very much, yours is the most comprehensive review of what GS is, as the sales page is quite hipy with all those checks and everyone else is only pitching with bonuses in the best case. Unfortunately Clickbank would not sell me a single product, I was trying to get hold of the publisher, but he would not probably like to deal directly with requiring payments.

@JNFERREE, Yes, fail fast. I am going ok with it by watching my keyword tracking and capping my campaigns.
@VALENTYN, I do not know what you mean by selling single product? The link on my bonus page should allow you a purchase.
