Alok Jain is a relative newcomer to the world of Internet Marketing, but so far the products I’ve seen him produce have been of good quality. His latest creation, Project Quick Cash, is no exception.
The concept behind Project Quick Cash is that Internet Marketing doesn’t have to be has difficult as many make it out to be. He offers five methods of promoting products (and not just IM products) that he says will get you a lot of traffic fast.
I decided to test the first of the five methods. This method is called Cashing the Spike, and involves creating a free blog and making entries based on keywords known to be hot right now.
To test this method I created a free blog at Blogger.com, hotnewsitems.blogspot.com and practiced the method taught by Alok in the report.
My results were nothing short of astounding. Toward the end of this post I’ll give you the link to my neutral third-party tracking statistics so you can see them for yourself, but first let me give you some of the high points.
The first five days of working the method weren’t terribly impressive, yielding a modest average of 57 unique visitors per day. Not bad considering I started from scratch, but nothing to write home about. However, here are the numbers I got starting on day six, when Google started to send traffic to the blog:
- 11 Nov, Sun = 131 unique visitors
- 12 Nov, Mon = 196 unique visitors
- 13 Nov, Tue = 226 unique visitors
- 14 Nov, Wed = 161 unique visitors
- 15 Nov, Thu = 247 unique visitors
- 16 Nov, Fri = 149 unique visitors
- 17 Nov, Sat = 151 unique visitors
- 18 Nov, Sun = 105 unique visitors
What surprised me the most was not so much the amount of traffic that using the method generated, but rather Google’s response to the site by using the method. Look at the referrer stats:
Websites = 922 visitors = 54.01%
Search Engines = 782 visitors = 45.81%
Email = 3 visitors = 0.18%
Yes, almost half of my traffic came from the search engines in less than three weeks of the blog’s existence. Of the search engine traffic, how much came from Google? Let the stats speak:
Google = 684 visitors = 87.47%
Yahoo = 62 visitors = 7.93%
AOL Search = 29 visitors = 3.71%
Google Images = 5 = 0.64%
Dogpile = 2 = 0.26%
Close to 90% from Google, all in less than 20 days starting from scratch.
I’d never seen a site rank so fast for even low-competition keywords, not in Google. Here are some screen shots for the most impressive search engine rankings I achieved using his methods, all within the first two weeks.
I quit working the method after the first two weeks because I got busy with other projects — and yet the blog continues to generate traffic.
- keywords: zune 2 update
rank: #1
- keywords: zune 2 upgrade
rank: #2
- keywords: stargate atlantis
rank: #3
- keywords: luminess air
rank: #6
- keywords: is etrade filing bankruptcy
rank: #1
I also took advantage of some misspellings to rank for, and they’ve paid off handsomely!
- keywords: reba mcintyre’s new cd
rank: #7
- keywords: the osmands
rank: #3
- keywords: osmands on oprah
rank: #2
These are just a few of the many keywords that this blog ranked for in its first two weeks. Also, did you notice that most of these keywords are unrelated? Yet the blog ranked for all of these diverse keywords. I think it’s safe to say that Project Quick Cash delivers on its promises, at least the Cashing the Spike method sure did for me.
Okay, I promised you the link to my third-party stats tracker so you could see the results for yourself. Here it is:

Pay particular attention to the unique visitors from weeks 45 through 48.
So how much is Project Quick Cash going to cost you? The price tag is $77. Considering how little work I had to put into the Cashing the Spike method to generate 2,000 unique visitors in less than three weeks, I’d call that a bargain. And that’s just one of the five methods Alok teaches.

Hi,
As a matter of interest, I googled “zune 2 upgrade”, and could not find your blog on the first 5 pages of search results. this indicates that any relevance to the search engines requires constant fresh new content.
If you are not prepared to spend the time,or use an automated tool to do this,
your efforts are futile.
Is the income you would expect to generate from such such a keyword as “zune 2 upgrade” from adsense, worth the effort?
Andrew:
Thanks for the feedback. It’s no longer in the results because I merely copied an excerpt of an article about the upgrade as the blog post, then pointed a link back to the full article.
What this means is that 3-5 days after being indexed and receiving traffic, Google’s duplicate content filter caught up with it and removed the result from the search results.
This was just a case study, so I didn’t take the time to write full unique posts that would “stick” for a long time. Honestly I didn’t expect to rank at all in Google, which is another reason I didn’t take the time to write unique posts — and yet I did rank like mad for many keywords!
So YES, it’s worth it. It was worth it when I didn’t take the time to write unique content (I still got 2,000 unique visitors in 20 days). Imagine how well you would do if your posts stuck around in Google because they are unique…
Thanks for the information Jon but did you make any money from all these visits to these various keyword focused blogs? Visits are one thing, actually cold hard cash is another. Your insight would be appreciated.

Eddy:
Absolutely. From AdSense alone my average was $3.30 per day. I also made some pay-per-lead money. If I can average $3 per day from 45 or so blog posts made over a period of 2 weeks, reason dictates that if you continue in that process for a few months you could easily multiply your income.
Again, this being a case study, I wasn’t trying really hard to monetize the traffic. There are better ways than just AdSense. I just wanted to prove to myself and my readers whether or not it really works to generate traffic. As you can see, it worked!
Awesome Jonathan, I will submit a product for review.
Franck.
Well Jon just based on my personal observations of your style of marketing this past year alone…..all recommendations you make stand out from the pack automatically! You are one of the most innovative and generous Marketers Online. Looking foward to your reviews to come.
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the research! Does his product, Project Quick Cash, also tell you ways to monetize the traffic, or does it just tell you how to get traffic and it’s up to you to convert the visitors to cash?
Thanks.
Hi Jon,
… and another great page from you.
Thanks to your review i have also bought the PQC ebook.
The strategies in there indeed sound very interesting.
One of the strategies … also works very great with my blog supporting software i have developed. Those things combined will be a fun thing to watch.
cheers
tony
What I especially appreciate, Jon, is that you provided the link to your blog… http://hotnewsitems.blogspot.com
One question in that connection: Have you identified any revenue from either the peeler (promoting insurance) or the two WidgetBucks displays?
Thanks for your thoroughness and candour.
Gary
Good review! Good idea for a new site! It is true, when new IM products are flooding in from all the VPs… I check what Jon Leger says before deciding. As it is though, I am busy as crazy following up on some of your advice from those $1 ideas you sell
Thanks Jon for such good content.
Question - I am a newbie and have a bunch of sites up now.
After the comment above about losing ranking because of non-unique content, I wondered if this is what happened to one of my sites that I had put totally unique content on.
After a week, it was 16th in google and had been rising, but then
it dropped down to 40 for now reason that I could see.
So, after reading the comment above, I checked it with Copyscape and found that there was duplicate content, but trying to access the page I got this IE message - ‘Website declined to show this webpage’.
It seems that someone may have copied my homepage, made up an identical homepage (but blocked access to it) to cause mine to lose ranking.
Through Copyscape I can access a website, but not the page it is on.
Does this happen much and what do you do to prevent it?
Loved the review, checked out the blogger blog, but I can’t really see how you monetize the efforts.
Does Alok go through this in this ebook?
Yes, I see that there’s adsense and some widgets in there, and yes I know this is just a case study, but while the traffic is impressive, but if it doesn’t convert into cash, the effort is futile, IMO.
I’d love to buy it via your link, and do trust your recommendations, but still would like to hear what you think about this.
If all he teaches are the traffic generation methods, and leaves the monetization up to the creativity of the user, I might have to put it on hold for the time being.
Jon
You make some excellent points that many others dont seem to get. Trust, but verify. You verify your position based upon the case studies you conduct, which builds trust. When I saw you give a thumbs down on John Reese’s blog rush, and backed your reasoning up up with the results of your case study…I knew you were the real deal. Not many people would’ve publicly opposed any product or service of Reeses’.
Many thanks for your review of Project Quick Cash - very useful.
I see that you have shown the traffic generation possibilities with one of the 5 systems in PQC and have earned some commission.
However, I am not clear about the earning capabilities of the systems which is my main interest.
However, since I know you to be a straight-up kind of guy (one of the few) and you reckon this is a good buy - I shall believe the facts behind the sales letter hype and click your link!
Charles
Jon, nice write up on this product. I will be following your blog with interest over the coming months to see what changes.
Its a shame the no follow tag has been implemented on this blog, which means we get nothing back from it.
It would have been nice to allow your followers some sort of traffic from this.
Thanks Kevin. Sorry about the nofollow, I forgot to disable that! I’ve disabled it now.
Good review Jon! Thanks for actually taking the time to REVIEW stuff.
I kinda did the same thing for my review of site build it on my website but I am barely getting any traffic so far so I can’t really see if it helps conversions.
I am quite intrigued and would like to purchase this ebook. But in many of the ebooks dealing with SEO etc, I find the information is quite similar to other ebooks on the subject with nothing much new or useful.
How does this product differ from the others?
I had not personally been aware of most of the methods in this report. You may have, but I can’t promise one way or the other. The methods were very new and innovative to me (except for one, which I already knew about).
Hi - just wanted to say good design and blog - cu
thanks for this post!
is a quite interesting post but quite difficult to understand for me .
It is a quite interesting post but quite difficult to understand for me -
I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong.
Can it be that your server is infected with a virus - I get an Virus warning when I open your site with Firefox - Just for your Info.
Found your blog on yahoo - thanks for the article but i still don’t get it.
