Howie’s Private Lab
I use several programs from Howie – most are available from the Howie’s Private Lab package…
I want to start out by saying a few things about Howie… I know many of you don’t like his tactics. I hate all the spam I get from his crap. I hate the fact that he said he was going to “retire” which ended up being a publicity stunt – trying to get people to one of his workshops because it was going to be his last… He didn’t retire.. didn’t even slow down – if anything, he got more involved with his email spam campaigns
. I hate the fact that he promoted this amazing tool that was supposed to be the next SeNuke killer – doing tasks in hours that would take a whole team of outsourcers to do in weeks… This tool never worked..
That being said – there ARE some tools that he created (or had created) that DO work – and they do some very cool things.. Tools that are different than a lot of the crap that’s out there. And this is what I’m going to talk about in this post…
There are two main programs of Howie’s that I recommend..
The first is IM Leadership. This is a program that includes some videos, some case studies, some blueprints, but that’s not all you get. You get access to the IM Leadership forum. This is run by a guy named Martin. This guy, Martin, knows more about local marketing than anyone I’ve ever met or read about. You can ask him questions on the forum, and you’ll get your answer, sometimes the same day. He knows his stuff and he shares it freely on the forum. This forum is worth ten times what you pay for IM Leadership. If you want to go into selling your SEO expertise to local businesses – then IM Leadership is all you need. I’ve spoken to SEVERAL people IN PERSON that have utilized the information that’s available to IM Leadership members and they now have a dozen clients that pay EVERY month – local businesses that pay $2K a month for you to promote their business online. And let me tell you – it’s MUCH easier than doing affiliate marketing. Local SEO is MUCH easier to dominate. Take *ANY* keyword in *ANY* market, and add a local town, city, or even state, and you bring the competition down to levels where it would take you a week or two to dominate. Compare that to month’s of SEO work to dominate a more general, national market that a billion other affiliates are promoting… There’s just no comparison. I could go on and on about this but I want to talk about some other cool programs of Howie’s that I use.
In Howie’s Private Lab, there are dozens of programs/scripts (some you’ll never need – but some are very useful and very unique). Note: these are all hosted online – they aren’t programs you run on your workstation.
Here’s some of what you’ll get:

And then there are about 3 dozen more “quick tools” which are things like page rank checker, broken links checker, spider simulator, and much, much more. Most of these rarely work though, so I ignore them.
Let me explain some of the tools that I personally use on a daily basis.
Feedgeneration: Amazing blackhat tool that scrapes content from numerous sources, creates SEVERAL (hundreds) of RSS feeds. What’s unique about these feeds is this – they are from several sources, all mashed together, and the item titles become links that you provide (your URLs that you want to promote or get indexed) – so it takes the item title and uses that as the anchor text.. Then it adds your keywords and links before AND after the content (you tell it how many links to add and using your keywords for anchor text).. It doesn’t stop there – these are projects that are continually being added to… So your project could start out with just 5 feeds, but a couple months from now – that same project will have grown into 200 feeds, with thousands of items, all containing your links… This is amazing for getting your content indexed AND getting them backlinks.. AND you can use it as autoblog content – which will have your links in them.. The uses are endless.
Blackhat Scraper: This is a tool that monitors all the major pharmaceutical and gambling keywords and then notes down all the sites that are ranking in the first page of Google. It keeps a list of them and sorts it by how many times they show up in the first page. You can find out which sites are ranking well at the present time in Google. This is very useful information because you can then get links from these sites yourself.
People Generation (creates several profiles on some social sites, etc)
DocPoster: Posts documents you create onto doc sharing sites <– these aren’t the best for backlinks, the sites usually use flash, and the links may not be followed BUT they almost Always end up on the first page of google for any keyword I try… This is great for traffic..
Pad creator and submitter: This program creates a screensaver using images it scrapes from Google images using your keywords, and then creates a pad file with your links in them – and it then submits them to software sites. These sites put your links in the descriptions so it’s an easy way to get more backlinks..
Press release submitter: This creates accounts automatically for you on all the free press release sites and then uploads your articles with your links in them, to the sites..
Podcast submitter: This actually takes your articles and creates a podcast out of them – it then submits to podcast sites and you get more backlinks…
And Datafeed Site Generator: This will create whole websites based off of product feeds you get from various sources (CJ, Amazon, Shareasale, wherever). Great way to create huge, product filled sites. Very cool.
As you can see, you get a ton of tools from this package. You won’t use everything that’s available but the ones I specifically mention are very helpful in promoting your sites in many different ways. It’s important to get links from varying sources. These types of tools help you accomplish this.
