Commission Blueprint 2.0 has just went live and is available for purchase. I don’t know for how long it will be live (I hear rumors it’s gonna be sold out in 36 hours just like Niche Blueprint did), so I’m heading over there to get it as I write this just bought it!
My first impressions after about an hour and a half:
I’ve just been playing with Keyword Blueprint since it was one of the main reasons I’ve bought it. It really is as I imagined and it’s awesome. I’ve been looking through keywords for SEO for my Forex site and already found a few gems. And most importantly it’s so easy. Up until now I used Market Samurai for that and it was a long and boring process – you need to sort through a big list by traffic and competition, select some candidates and check each of them for first page competition. Drilling down into keywords was really cumbersome and since I’ve no patience at all I see now how many great keywords I missed. Love it.
I’ve also tried out Article Blueprint. It uses the same idea as in Unique Article Wizard – you enter three versions of all paragraphs and it shuffles them. I’m not a fan of this rewriting method – it’s too time consuming, and it’s quite a pity that it doesn’t support jet spinner syntax. But I’ve cheated and submitted an article rewritten with jet spinner, will see if that goes through. This is the way I’m used to and I’m planning to cancel my My Article Network membership over Article Blueprint, so it would be great if it worked.
I know too much for most of the training material, but I see some interesting video titles and manuals in Conversion section, also in SEO section. I like how they did the SEO plans, and while I have developed my own system that works for me, those who aren’t that advanced in SEO will love it.
There’s also an interesting series about high PR site farm building for SEO purposes. Just for the record, I’ve had this idea on the back burner for a while now and kept putting it off simply because I’ve never done this before and didn’t know how to approach it. I didn’t know there will be something like that in Commission Blueprint 2.0, so it’s quite a nice surprise. It’s a very advanced topic and takes money and effort to accomplish, but if you know more than the basics of SEO, you will know the great potential of having such a system in place. Let alone the cost of such services that are much more inferior due to the fact that many people use them and they are likely less relevant than you need (I’m looking at you, Linkvana).
Most manuals have real life examples in them, so besides the theory you see exactly how it’s done and what results you can get. For example, in list building with Adwords manual you have each step of an actual campaign they ran, what they did to reduce CPC and so on. This is a great way to learn.
The whole area is quite overwhelming actually and it will take me some time to go through it, right now I’m just trying out stuff that I’ve bought it for.
And btw, considering every second launch usually has technical difficulties, Commission Blueprint 2.0 system works perfectly. So the issues aren’t inevitable after all eh?
Some people do have problems with Clickbank payments, but that’s on Clickbank’s end and they more than strict fraud prevention rules. If you’re having problems, make sure you have your address matches with your credit card’s. [edit: The Paypal option is now available too, for those who prefer it or have problems with credit card payment.]

Hi there,
I have been trying to purchase Commission Blueprint 2.0 for over an hour now and no luck. The click bank doesn’t process my credit card. Do you think it is jammed? How did you manage to get yours?
Thanks
Vlad

Hi,
I didn’t do anything special, just made the purchase and it went through smoothly. I’ve chosen the one time payment option, maybe those work differently but I doubt.
It would be odd if Clickbank decided to get jammed really.

Thanks, I will have to try something else. Maybe the problem is that I am located outside of the US and when I put my US card number it declines the authorization because of my location. Cannot think of anything else because I also tried my European card and it didn’t work either.
#4 by admin - September 9th, 2009 at 10:21
That might be it, Clickbank has odd fraud check rules. Maybe your EU card is not from the same country you’re located right now either?
Too bad they have turned off Paypal.
#5 by admin - September 9th, 2009 at 13:21
I’ve just noticed that a Paypal option has appeared in the purchase form. Looks like it’s been a serious issue about the credit cards.
#6 by Vladimir - September 10th, 2009 at 14:20
Yeah, checked that one out as well. Nothing works. Not even my paypal and I again tried both the US and EU paypal accounts. Must be something with the IP address. Possibly the product is only sold in the US. Will have to figure out some strategy here. Thanks for all your posts. At least I know it is possible to buy it somehow.
#7 by admin - September 10th, 2009 at 14:26
Very odd, because I’m not in US too and I didn’t even get to use paypal when I bought it.
Did you try opening a support ticket? I’ve sent one myself about something – they respond quickly and might find a way to work this out.
#8 by Vladimir - September 11th, 2009 at 13:35
Aha, that is good to know. So, the problem is somewhere else, not the IP address. Cool. Yes, I tried to open a ticket, but no reply yet – this is second day. Only received a confirmation that the ticket was received. In meantime, my US credit card got blocked, because I tried to use it several times for that same purchase and they classified it as irregular activity. Had to spend time with them on the phone because of that. Really strange. Nothing similar has ever happened to me.

Did you open the ticket at Clickbank or Commission Blueprint? I was talking about the latter, but probably I’d try both.
#10 by Vladimir - September 13th, 2009 at 12:26
Yeah, I did open one with Blueprint. They were really forthcoming and offered me to pay straight to their paypal address hence skipping clickbank. But, lol! I put the address they gave me in, tried to pay (do it all the time using paypal) and paypal says that it is not a valid format of an e-mail address, which I think it is, so I am not really sure what is going on here anymore. For some reasons this address is being blocked by payapal. Isn’t this whole story unbelievable? In meantime, I got some mixed responses from some friends in the US about the whole product, which I think they have not bought, so cannot judge it, but still with all those hassles I am beginning to think whether it is even worth buying it. Have you used it already?
#11 by admin - September 13th, 2009 at 12:57
Yes I’m using it. To me the Keyword tool and Article distribution service is worth the money alone. Let alone the coming soon SEO tools one of which they say will beat linkvana. You’d pay no less than $200 a month for all that stuff. I’ve written a whole novel about it in my last post.
It’s worth every penny.

I’m curious what you think of the program for someone just starting in affiliate marketing. I don’t have any experience but have been reading a lot about CB2 and seen a lot of positive feedback. Is this something too advanced for someone like me or is it something that is pretty straight forward and easy to learn starting from scratch?
Also just wondering if there is any support system if questions come up? Thanks for any advice!

Hi Andy,
It’s definitely good for beginners, there are two step-by-step plans you can follow, which I think are pretty straightforward.
The support is there and it’s huge. There’s the helpdesk and the forums, it’s not rare to see questions answered literally within minutes. You can browse around the forums if you wanna see: http://www.blueprintcentral.com/forum/
