ReviewMe: Internet Marketing Ninjas

Posted January 6, 2008 in Blog

Aaron Wall. Andy Beal. Bill Slawski. Christine Churchill. Cameron Olthius. Jim Boykin. Jeremy Schoemaker. Jill Whalen. Lee Odden. Neil Patel. Todd Malicoat.

That's a serious amount of online marketing brain. In fact, if you'll indulge me for a moment, that's about 15 kilos of SEO grey matter - a hefty weight by all accounts.

The thing is, that for the cost that Internet Marketing Ninjas are charging, that's the sort of SEO firepower - the sheer volume of SEO fame - needed to be able to sell.

IMN are offering annual membership for a hefty $2995. Yes, $2995. For that, you get a single year's access to the site, all of the videos and tutorials, and access to all of the site's tools.

Unfortunately, this review did not include access to the members area of the site. Shame, as it means I am unable to give you any idea of whether it is worth the entry fee - beyond my own educated guesswork, of course.

The tools are an easy enough place to start - they used to be the SEO tools available from WeBuildPages.com. No longer publically available for free, they were (and presumbly still are) very useful, though by themselves I do not think they warrant the IMN fee.

The IMN team are the big sales point for the site, and between them they offer over 15 hours of footage on internet marketing topics. Given that most of the Ninjas are active on publically active forums, and most are well known for sharing a great deal with the community, I think the videos would need to offer something pretty special to justify the membership fee.

There is little doubt that the videos on IMN would give you a great grounding in internet marketing. Certainly, if you learn well from videos, there are few better people to learn from (and not in one place). And the collection of tools offered by IMN put other collections to shame with both utility and range.

If you can afford it, and like the idea of having this quantity of information in one place, it might be that Internet Marketing Ninjas is for you. However, I would be surprised if the information and tools available were not available elsewhere for less, though it may take a little digging.

I am absoloutely shocked, $3000 !
How can videos and and tutorials be worth that.

I would be interested to see how many people have actually stumped up that kind of dosh and felt like it was money well spent.
Gosh, the price is one the steep side. And I am not too sure if the content is worth it.

On the other hand, most of the speakers sell ebooks and the total sum of their ebooks content should not cost more than $3k right?

Guess it is a big Joint Ventures among the big players. And you are right about doing some digging to get the content of IMN.

I have not bought it so can't say if it really is worth it, but considering people like SEMPO and TopSEOs charge thousands a year for their top memberships its not that much in comparison. Also 3k for an individual is a lot but if its used to help improve the skills within an SEO company it is probably a worthwhile investment.

Does anybody know if the videos can be downloaded for later viewing? I asked Jim but he hasn't replied. Has anyone joined member given a review?
I think it depends at what stage your SEO department is at whether a 3k in vestment is worth it.

3k for what? Thats quite outrageous!

Those internet marketers charge huge numbers for their services, ebooks, etc!

Come on guys, be rational!
The way IMN is profiling there played services (tools and videos) hasn’t been unnoticed, even in the Netherlands. But my problem is I haven’t worked with there tools in the past and as long as there is no demo available I is very hard to judge these tools. And because of the pricing $2995, I don’t like to gamble and just give it a go.
I highly doubt the videos can be downloaded for later viewing since they probably dont want their videos to be passed around for free when they are charging 3 Gs!

I will never pay for such service, I am sure it is worth paying.
WHy I will not pay? Because you can check those Ninjas blogs and read them, and you will get far more useful information. All of the mentioned name have decent blogs that can help us to market our websites.

Thanks for post

$3,000 ? Do they want us to believe that they must have something very unique by asking for such a hefty fee!
I feel such service may worth spending big bucks on it. But not that much!

I really, really would like to watch Jil, aaron wall, and all others but we want reasonable prices.

Will you be able to get us discounts ? Do you have promo codes?

Thanks,

Thanks for the help, I have question.

Is it possible to pick out text in a requested path and redirect ?

I have these lines in my log;

"index.php?cPath=http://someurl"

These hacking attempts, what I want to do is catch them and send the request to another page where I'll catch the IP and leave them a nice message perhaps.

I've got this far, this only workd on the exact string, I want to work on anything either side of this string.

I read Aaron Wall's really expensive book and wasn't impressed at all. You can get better info off the web or by buying a mainstream book at amazon. Same goes for the new site I'm sure.

I highly doubt anyone would pay this amount for a site that looks medicore and looks slightly like them "make $5000 in 2 days" sites.

I would of thought for a product worth supposdly so much they would have put alot more effort into there website!

Jason, Brighton!
Dear Piles,

I totally agree with you man. I paid big bucks for the SEO book, and it is just a summary of what is in webmaster world forum.. Honestly, I can make better book..

and know they want huge bucks for few videos... Those internet marketers just want too much money with short amount of time ....

Anyway guys, thanks for review..

I guess it depends pretty much on the services they are offering, whether they check your web site (sites) and give advice as to how to improve. I cannot imagine that the tools alone are worth so much.
$3000? I will never pay for such a service. How can videos and and tutorials be worth that? All these guys have great blogs to read and learn from.
this game between the internet marketing guys and [url=http://www.google.com]google[/url] is endless.
this may even be obsolete if you read a little and keep updated with google.
I believe there is always a cheaper way to do things if you put in the time to research it out. Those Ninjas may have some decent footage but I'm sure I could find the same information somewhere else on the web. It is also a little difficult to take their business seriously with their weak page design (at least for me).
Hi, I needed some links on linux shell script, html, & perl coding Languages. Can u Help?

Too bad you did not have the possibility to see the vids. But still 3 k is a lot. I am thinking they could be better off if they would offer smaller periods of time with a smaller fee. As a member you can attend a SEO Event, interesting if it is a good one, but in any case of less value for people from other country than US...
I won't be paying it but the service is probably worth it as long as you are willing to implement the ideas.
With a little research and spending the 3K in other projects you can make much more money!
Thats outrageous price for few videos!
I know of someone who offers mentoring, one to one tuition, for a hand full of dollars for 3 months.

3k is an awful lot of money relatively speaking.

Hi Guys.

I've actually purchased the videos and tools. I must say they are good but the real value I think will come from the course they aslo include in the price. I'm off to Edinburgh tomorrow for the course and will update you all on my return.
