I first heard Google Sniper way back but I didn't pay too much with because I was actually busy doing the work. All I know was that George Brown's system is somewhat similar to what I'm using. It generated some buzz when he was launching the second version of Google Sniper.
It was that time when I got interested because I saw a promise that his system will show you how to rank without doing any extensive linkbuilding work. The feedback were actually positive in the first version of the course because a lot of people have actually quit their day jobs from using the Google Sniper system.
During the prelaunch sequence, George showed a website that he built over 2 years ago. The surprising thing was it's still ranking at the very first spot of Google for the keyword "groom wedding speech". This term gets a lot of searches per month and if you take a close look at the backlinks, you'll see that it has only 25 links.
Now obviously, you can't trust the number of backlinks because search engines won't really show you the exact number. But you don't need to worry about backlinks if you're ranking at top. After seeing this really amazing proof, I knew exactly that I needed to work on improving my keyword research process.
I was actually skeptical even with that proof and so I decided to search around WA to see if there's anyone who did try out Google Sniper. I saw a little discussion and I saw a member who felt the same way as I did. But a 6-figure (maybe even 7) marketer replied and said that it's possible to rank at top without heavy linkbuilding.
By that time, I was really close to making a decision on buying Google Sniper 2. I'm not expecting much as I already have a profitable system that's working but even just learning a new tip could bring my online business to the next level. Just because of that fact, I was really excited and I don't see the cost of the guide as an expense but rather as an investment.
I already watched the core videos and I have to say that I've enjoyed every bit of it. I learned a lot of things but most importantly Google Sniper 2 gave me a huge confidence on how to approach keyword research. I also learned how to improve my conversions because George has some cool preselling techniques.
