Prospect Blazer -- Is It For You?

Prospect Blazer: A Good Idea

Prospect Blazer is a good idea. A sound idea.

Prospect Blazer is essentially a technique for creating capture pages.

As you know, most capture pages offer an ebook or a special report in exchange for a visitor giving you their name and email address.

Well, Prospect Blazer takes this one step further. You're able to offer your visitor $1800 worth of digital products in exchange for their contact information.

Not only that, but you have tons of different capture pages with different messages that appeal to a variety of business opportunities.

And, Prospect Blazer also has loads of capture pages that sell individual product for which you make 100% commission.

You can see how Prospect Blazer works at the Prospect Blazer Demo.

And, you can see an actual capture page at Prospect Blazer Non-Paid Capture Page.

But, there is just one, hopefully temporary drawback. Prospect Blazer has two fatal design flaws.

To understand the design flaws, let's understand how Prospect Blazer works.

Prospect Blazer Works as Follows:

1) After you log in, you see the download page. There are tons of products, all with images. It takes a while for all the images to load, even on a broadband connection.

2) After the images are loaded the screen goes gray and prevents you from accessing any of the software download links.

3) An email capture form (from Aweber or other auttoresponder) appears in a popup window at a fixed location near the top of the page.

4) After you fill in the form the page becomes normal and you can download the software items.

Prospect Blazer and the Two Fatal Flaws

1) The capture popup form is located at a fixed position relative to the top of the page.

Now, what's the first things a person does when they see a page with tons of products? They start scrolling down the page to see the products.

So, if you scroll down the page while the images are loading, when the page goes gray you never see the capture popup because it's positioned at the top of the page--which is now off the screen.

You can't scroll back to the top, so you're out of luck and have to refresh your screen--if you think to do that.

The design solution is to place the popup at a fixed location relative to the browser window rather than the page.

2) When you click a link to download a software product prior to the screen going gray, it never goes gray. And the capture popup never appears.

The design solution is to create an intermediary page with the capture form in a frame on that window. Use JavaScript to detect the completion of the capture form before proceeding to the download page. Solving this problem would eliminate the need to fix the first problem.

So, hopefully, these problems will be addressed soon and Prospect Blazer with be, not only a viable product, but a worthwhile one, too.

Why Was Your Myspace Account Deleted?

Myspace Account Deleted?

Many people use Myspace for advancing their online and offline busnesses.

You may know of people who have had their Myspace account deleted, often without any explanation from Myspace.

So, why does Myspace delete accounts?

From their terms and conditions the only explanation for deleting your Myspace account is:

Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 14 years of age, if we believe that you are under 18 years of age and you represent yourself as 18 or older, or if we believe you are over 18 and represent yourself as under 18.

It seems that the only valid reason for deleting accounts that are in accord with the Myspace terms and conditions is fraudulent age claims.

In addition, Myspace reserves the right to delete content from your site. Several places in the terms and conditions this right is described:


By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the MySpace Services, you hereby grant to MySpace a limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on or through the MySpace Services, including without limitation distributing part or all of the MySpace Website in any media formats and through any media channels, except Content marked “private” will not be distributed outside the MySpace Website.

and

MySpace may reject, refuse to post or delete any Content for any or no reason, including Content that in the sole judgment of MySpace violates this Agreement or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights of any person or entity, or harm or threaten the safety of any person or entity.


It seems that any other interference with your Myspace account is outside their terms and conditions.

Because of the importance of Myspace to an Internet marketer's finances, it is important that both the Internet marketer and Myspace live up to the agreed to terms and conditions.

Does anyone have any reason to believe that these terms are not be adhered to by Myspace?
