James Martell Releases THIRD EDITION of Popular Affiliate Marketers Handbook: 2006 “Refreshed” Sure to Catapult Webmasters To The Top Of Google Search Results
By Kellie Fowler
James Martell, arguably one of the most successful online publishers and the “granddaddy” of natural searches, has done it again.
Blame it on the fact that he just loves to teach, or perhaps it’s that he truly delights in sharing his secrets. The truth is that whatever served as the catalyst for “revisiting” his popular handbook and dedicating three months to “refreshing” it, the result is this: a unique, comprehensive guide that provides webmasters – “newbies” and established alike, with everything needed to achieve enviable online success through natural search.
While, as James says, “it’s really not rocket science getting to the top of the list,” it does boil down to a little common sense, a little knowledge and doing a whole bunch of little things just right.
Of course, as someone who’s made a full-time income from affiliate programs since 1999, he’s seen it all, including many changes at many search engines.
“I remember changes with earlier search engines (Excite, WebCrawler,AltaVista) that challenged us repeatedly long before Google arrived on the scene. And I have had to adjust many times to Google as well,” James says. “Granted it is a bit of a pain, and it does put a dent in the bank account from time to time, but during it all I have been able to make adjustments, and build a dream lifestyle all at the same time.”
And, relying on the refreshed Affiliate Marketers Handbook – 2006 (THIRD EDITION), his students can, too.

The Third Edition contains 21 “revisited” points, 7 “additional” points, and 13 new points – in other words, the full training from 2002, the additional information added in early 2005, and all the UPDATES from January 2005 to March 2006 have been fully integrated into a logically flowing document.
But, that’s not all. The revisit prompted James to also include 250+ screenshots and numerous video tutorials that, when combined with the nearly 400 pages of expertly organized information, ensures readers get a tight grasp of everything needed to join James in the arena of successful affiliate marketers.
When asked if he worried about the competition that this must prompt, James chuckles and says this: “The industry continues to grow at startling rates and there is more than enough for us all. I feel it’s the best business in the world and professionals from all walks of life are using affiliate programs to gain independence and countless others can, too. There’s amazing potential for those who want more from life and I like providing them with the knowledge they need to have the freedom to work from home, to spend more time with family and friends, to travel – to lead the lives they deserve.”
Despite the fact that third edition e-books are a rarity, James worked diligently to craft a handbook that will provide his loyal students with the latest information, prompted in part because of evolvements within the industry, but also because he recently reviewed his own sites and admits to having some concerns.
“A few months back, I too had a close look at my own sites, the ones that rank poorly (or not at all) on Google and the ones that rank well,” he says. “It was easy to see the differences. And, although I had been talking about improving quality and minor issues specific to top rankings on the buzz (his audio newsletter), I realized what I really needed to do was show my students what we all needed to be doing.
“The Third Edition of my handbook provides me with a platform to take the reader through a logical sequence of steps and, at times, even point out the not so obvious,” he adds. “I am conveying what I know works best now, and exactly what I am doing myself every day.”
Of course, James’ readers have been kept up-to-date on his password protected “Updates” page, and he regularly speaks to students from across the globe to sold out audiences at major industry events. Additionally, students fly in to his hometown from all over the world to attend his BootCamps (See photos from October 2005 BootCamp), and his long-running audio newsletter boasts a huge subscription base. And, through all of these outlets, James has received valued input and feedback from his students, all of which has been incorporated into the Third Edition.
“Plus I love to teach and, as the industry evolves, I want my students to be able to evolve right along with it,” he adds. “This allows us all to share the same heights of success.”
James has also added an Index to his Third Edition, allowing for quicker researching and cross-referencing, while expanding on several areas of the training and enhancing important information – all of which he believes makes for a stronger understanding.
Perhaps most important, though, is the fact that his training stands the test of time. James has enjoyed success as an affiliate marketer since 1999 and trained countless affiliates since 2001.
For, as James readily explains to students, getting to the top of Google or any of the other search engines “is never only about any one thing.” “Instead,” he says, “it is about doing a combination of many, many smaller things just right.”
And there is no one better to teach all the smaller things and how to do each “just right.”
James is providing his Third Edition handbook to previous handbook purchasers either FREE or at a discounted rate.
