After posting the above comment, I NOW realise that the $47 per month is for membership to the Sniper X club, and is NOT compulsory.

So, it is true that Google Sniper on its own is just $47 – no recurring charges.

My apologies. I will now crawl back under my rock…..

Only when I got to the credit card info page did I happen to notice that Google Sniper costs $47 PER MONTH. Nowhere in the sales page does it mention this!!! To me that’s blatantly misleading. Not many people would notice that, but thankfully I did.

I don’t think it’s worth nearly $600 a year – there’s better programs out there for less.

I now WON’T be buying on the basis of this deception.

You can usually get 12-18 times your monthly income when you decide to sell your sites. And this is usually based off of a 6 month average. What does this mean in my situation? Assuming that I earn $600 for the month of October (which I know I will), you would take the six months of income, add them up and divide by 6. This is your average. In my case, this would average out to $410/mo. Of course, if I wait a couple more months to let those first two months of small monthly amounts fall off ($30.80 & $192.60), and assuming that my monthly income for the month of Nov. & Dec. remain at $600, my average would be more like $572/mo.

Now you just multiply that out by 12-18 and you get a current potential value of between $4,920-$7,380. And if I use my projection numbers through the end of the year, my site has a potential value of between $6,864-$10,296!

So remember to keep that in mind when building your sites. If you can generate even just $100/mo, you have built an asset between $1,200-$1,800. And believe it or not, there are people out there that will pay you for these sites all day long. Head over to Flippa.com and check out some of the prices people are paying. You’ll be blown away by it.

I have purchased both versions (1.0 & 2.0). If you are considering purchasing, I would highly recommend 2.0 since it is more up to date.

I have not seen any comments about the amount of income they have earned off of their sniper sites. So I have decided to share my results with you. Aren’t you all so lucky.

I purchased GS 2.0 on February 16, 2011. Though I did not build my first sniper site until April 8th. I built my site around a single physical product. Most people use Clickbank, and that’s fine. However, there tends to be more competition, especially if you are creating a review site around that product. So I wrote 2 informative articles around the niche and targeting specific keywords and than the “money article” which was the review of the product. Keep in mind that I have tried the product since it was a prerequisite in becoming an affiliate. I believe my review was around 1,000 words or so. Sometimes I get a bit carried away when I write. Nonetheless, it was very informative to the reader and was the perfect length. Plus Google likes it when there is more content.

Within less than a week, my site ranked on the 1st page of Google for my primary and secondary keywords. I was very excited. But just when I was starting to get some traffic, Google decided to throw me in the “Sandbox” for awhile. It felt like eternity being in there. I think I was on page 70 & 73 respectively for my 2 primary keywords. Ugh!

Than in May, after I really started creating some backlinks (but not that many to be honest with you), my site all of a sudden jumped to page 1 for both of the keywords. By the end of May, my secondary keyword was ranking #1 and my primary keyword was ranking #2-3. To this day, my primary keyword is sitting behind the products website at #3 (they are occupying the #1 & #2 position) and my secondary keyword is still #1.

Most of you are probably thinking that these keywords don’t get very many searches. Quite the opposite. My main keyword gets 2,900 exact searches/mo. and my secondary keyword gets just 480 exact searches/mo. But keep in mind that these two keywords are the “product name” and the “product name review”. These are what you call SERIOUS BUYER KEYWORDS and they convert like crazy.

So what have my figures looked like? I’m sure you want to know. lol Here they are (these are net commissions):

May (just 1 1/2 months after I created the site): $30.80
June: $192.60
July: $477.60
August: $559.20
September: $600

October is shaping up to beat Sept., but probably not by much. Some of you are probably asking how my sales have continued to go up. This is because this product has re-bills, which is something I would highly recommend you go after if you can. Yes, there are drop-offs, but last month saw only 20% drop-off. That means 80% continued to receive the product.

In summary, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GS 2.0 and/or the 1st version, if you couldn’t already tell. Like another commenter already mentioned, it comes down to your keywords and also your product(s) that you are promoting. Now can you expect to receive this kind of income off of each site? No way! You are going to have some winners and some losers. But you have to stick with it, create backlinks every month to keep your site ranking well.

I would recommend that every month, you outsource an article for site content. Again, Google likes fresh content on a site. And if the site is making money, reinvest some of your profits. You can get a 500 word article written on Fiverr, though I have not used them yet for articles. I actually get my articles written by American writers for around $12-$13. And these are 600 word articles and are very well written. Rememer, more content = more traffic = more $$$! Since my original articles that I wrote personally, I have outsourced 2 additional articles. The last one I had written was on October 8th, gets around 1,300 exact searches/mo. and today is sitting in the #5 location on page 1. And I haven’t created too many backlinks for it either.

I would say that on average, you could expect to make around $200/mo. for each site. Some will make more, like in my case, and some of them will make less or nothing at all. That’s just how it goes. Most people that are new to this “game” will build one site, wait to see what happens, and if it doesn’t make any money, they think the strategy doesn’t work. This is not the case with this course (or for a lot of courses out there). It does work and I am living proof of it.

Buy this course and stay the course! You will succeed with persistence. Good luck and I hope this has helped in your decision making.

Also, I would have no problem investing in such a system, although one visit to the site, and a bombardment of javascript pop-ups trying to force me not to leave, really sours me on the legitimacy of the system.

Can anyone offer any tangible references regarding income and growth from this system?
