Authority Spy has made a buzz prior to its launch this early February as the next powerful marketing tool. Is it a powerful application that Internet Marketers can earn from and scale or is it another hype that we'll soon regret investing in?

Features

Authority Spy has claimed itself as the only tool of its kind available in the market today. It can be used for numerous things, like authority research (to find authority in your niche to partner with or to power up your link building strategy). Here are its main features:

  • Search for Authorities in your niche in less than 5 minutes
  • Gather all their websites and social media for you to follow and add
  • Scrape high PR websites (Authority Sites) for your SEO
  • All their websites in one place for you to easily connect with them or contact each of them.

Who is this for?

Authority Spy is for serious Internet Marketers who want to build relationships with other Internet Marketers, SEO consultants and those who want to gather all content in one place.

For Internet Marketers, Authority Spy is a powerful tool to power up your marketing by looking for potential JV Partners who are already "authorities" in their niche that might help you launch a big project or gain more subsrcibers.

Internet Marketers can also use this tool in order to tap into an already existing traffic through guest posting, blog commenting or other forms of online marketing.

Authority Spy is a powerful SEO tool because it helps you find Authority sites in any niche where you can post comments or write content as a guest to build links to your site.

Who is this not for?

Authority Spy is not for Internet Marketers who are not interested in making connections with other like-minded marketers under their niche. It is not for those who are not interested in creating backlinks from powerful sites.

Is it Scalable?

Authority Spy comes with a one-time only fee, which makes it scalable. Buy Authority Spy, pay for it once, search for authorities that you can link with and you're already saving hundreds of dollars in outsourcing high quality links. Using it to build business relationships or joint partnerships is priceless.

Pros

  • Its features are very straightforward
  • It's affordable for a one-time fee (other sites will offer you the same level of service for a monthly fee)
  • User friendly
  • Compatible with all Operating Systems (Adobe Air App)
  • Stable (with updates)

Cons

It should come with training videos on how to use it step-by-step for marketing. Some people are still not sure what they'd use it for, why they'd spend money to search for authority sites or people.

Conclusion

So far I'm satisfied with the features of the app in contrast with its price. The features outweigh the value of the price (which is affordable, really). I have used Manageflitter in the past, and its just for Twitter. No similar application could get you to get the same level of service with features this vast (can handle all major social media networks and websites, all in one place!). 

The only downside for me, as mentioned in the Cons section, is that they have not fully explained how powerful their tool is. They should consider adding more value to it by making an e-book as a bonus or training videos that they can use to show people how to gain leverage using Authority Spy to really power up both marketing and SEO.

I often mention in my previous blog posts that Authority Spy is perhaps the best tool for authority research. But what is authority research and how can we leverage our Internet Marketing campaigns using this method?

Authority Research is a Branch of Internet Marketing

I'm no guru or anything but if Authority Research is a science, then Authority Research can be considered one of the essential components of I.M., together with Niche Research, etc. It can also be a branch of SEO.

In Marketing, we search for authorities of "influencers" in our niche in order to contact them and communicate directly with them, hoping that they might support us in our next big idea as JV partners. We also contact them in order to get known, to build genuine relationships and connections.

On the other hand, we do the same method for SEO in order to rank our sites in the engines by looking for authority sites or high PR blogs that we can take advantage of. How does that happen? Through link building. We outsource people to look for these "authority links" and leave comments on them or at least directly ask for the owner's permission to get back links through guest posting.

The Top 3 Methods

Twitter

You can do this by finding the "authorities" in your niche by searching for the keyword in twitter search or keying in # + keyword to look for trends. Example: #losingweight.

But that's not Authority Research (yet).

Look for the profiles having these terms. Any profile with a huge following + a possible niche site or blog on its description can lead us to an authority. But it will take a lot of trial and error to find the odds. You can get better, targeted results using Manageflitter.


Manage Flitter

Manageflitter is a powerful tool. It helps you look for authorities by searching relevant tweets and profiles, managing your search by number of followers and possible websites within the profile.  This is the second best tool for Influencer Research, if only it doesn't come in a monthly plan of $12. It's cheap, yet again, Authority Spy can be paid one time only. But then again, if you think Authority Spy is not for you, this is my second suggestion.

Facebook

Searching through Facebook isn't as easy as when using Twitter. Imagine: you would need to look for the exact name or key-in "niche keyword" + "facebook" in Google. Takes a lot of trial and error, really.


Google as Authority Research Tool

There's no simple tool other than Google and if you've got a lot of time to burn, then this could be the ideal site for you. Key in: "niche keyword" blog - and you'll find several sites for this query. Then download a PR checker extension or add-on on Firefox to see the PRs for each query. Then, you would need to use other SEO tools to see if they are do-follow or no-follow links if in case you want to use these sites for SEO.

If you think this is your best option, you can hire professional researchers through e-lance and odesk and get this task outsourced.

Outsourcing

Perhaps the easiest yet affordable way to finish your research. There are many professional researchers out there who are ready to help you out. This is important for those who don't want to spend too much time on Authority Research alone. You can find researchers willing to do this task for you for $3 - $10 per hour.

If you're serious with your marketing, you can find authorities in about 5 hours to 2 days, depending on the number of sites you want searched and your purpose. If you're using this for SEO and link building, it may take more time for the researcher to sort out the results and see if the sites have PR, Age and if it's do-follow.

Conclusion

Authority Research is not as daunting as you think, but it is actually time consuming. I personally think that Authority Spy is the best tool for this task because:

1. Searching through social media is time consuming.
2. Searching through Google is even more time consuming.
3. Spending money per month on outsourcing, although cheap, is nothing compared to a one-time fee once you purchase AuthoritySpy.
4. Authority Spy is packed with features for all niche, marketing and SEO research tasks.

So why would you buy Authority Spy now in 2014? Let me tell you why.

These days, competition is hard and marketing is getting a little more manual than before. Why did I say this? I have realized for the past 2 years that if you want to earn money nowadays you actually need to get connected to real people, have real business relationships with them and actually get in touch with them as much as you possibly can.

I don’t know with you, but back in 2009, I earn an average of $1500 per month total income as an affiliate and adsense sites owner. My first paycheck was exactly $1532.00 and I earned it after promoting Commission Blueprint. And think about it, althout 2009 doesn’t sound that far and old, 2009 was actually 5 YEARS AGO. Yes, 5 years ago when Google was young and Adwords was more useful than it is today in terms of making money. And guess what, 5 YEARS is like eons in Internet years! **Not to mention Internet Marketing years!** so if you’re someone who’s still hoping to earn today by using the marketing tactics that worked yesterday, I bet you never earned an average of $1,500 per month (and that’s the very least!)

Why is Authority Spy “The Thing” these days?


As what I’ve just mentioned, the marketing strategies of yesterday are no longer working today. Today it’s getting more honest, sincere-- which is good. Businesses are mostly looked at as people, no longer as companies. You search for authorities to gain exposure or get funds for your next big idea.

Authority Spy Helps You Find JV Partners


Marketers nowadays are more willing to help, especially if they have sincere connections from you. Posting a comment on their blogs and being present to every network that they have works like magic. Trust me, it does. If you could just realize the power of Authority Spy to change your income from $1,500 per month to $50,000 then you’ll understand how looking for a high quality business relationship or ideas from Authorities give you leverage more than anyone else in this industry.

Thank you for taking time to read my article. I’m being granted a special page from Authority Spy for all my readers. Please check this out:

In my previous post, I’ve mentioned about how useful Authority Spy can be as a search engine optimization tool. Let me explain why I just said that.

There are free tools out there that helps us get data about sites that we want to link with, some are free while others with considerably more data come with a price. We often try to check data like Page Rank, analyze their social media scores and make further research to know what’s authority or not in the niche we’re in. To be honest, in order to start knowing the leaders in your niche, you actually have to roam the Internet and hoard for answers.

Unfortunately for most of us who are busy getting our feet wet with the other side of business, we have no time to do this simple task. So we outsource it to others, pay them somewhere between $100 - $150 per month, this is cheap because they can do this for all of the niches we cover.

For someone who's marketing or building exposure online, I know that SEO is indeed the Holy Grail of Internet Marketing. I couldn't, no matter how hard I try, argue with it. There's list building, cold calling, advertising and all that, but nothing beats free leads, and that's where Authority Spy comes in.

You just don't search for authorities to connect with, you can post your links in the comments as you connect with them or at least build an even better exposure by doing guest posts. Truth is, in the IM niche, the Authorities don't necessarily have to be Gurus. Sometimes a site with a high PR and search engine score and high volume of exposure and traffic is already the goldmine.

If you believe that link building is as powerful as marketing, then you now have an idea of this tool's power.

Authority Spy is One-time Only


Sure Authority Spy has capabilities waaaay better than the ones that I’ve just mentioned. But hey, Authority Spy can be purchased for a one-time only fee!

https://fo123.infusionsoft.com/go/as/sagchiq03/


At $27 you can get the Basic type and at ONLY $47 you can get the Professional version which is way cheaper compared to the others around. Believe me, this is a deal, considering that you will have all your authority research in one place, paid one time (no future commitments and hassles, yay!).

So what are the cons?


I don’t have an idea about the cons and catches yet, but of course I will SOON. Since what I have in hand is just the main idea of the tool and how it works, but I haven’t tried it myself first, I couldn’t give you a clear picture of the other side of the tool just yet.

When the product is launched, I’ll give you the previews, cons and comparisons in another post. Promise that. :)

I will appreciate if you click here (affiliate link) to check Authority Spy out.



A lot of my friends asked me why I started to promote Authority Spy. The truth is, it’s been ages (in Internet years) since I last promoted an IM product. I’m already light years away from the IM niche, and have moved on to promoting health & wellness digital products and tangible Amazon products. I’m not the next authority in the industry, in fact I’m not the best of the IM gamers (I don’t belong to this niche).

I’m personally excited to use Authority Spy on my other non-IM sites. Why? It’s for my marketing.

Why am I saying this? I own 20+ blogs, some of which I’ve passionately and religiously posted updates while some others are there as niche websites. Authority Spy has the power to tap in the pool of authority that I want to make connections and relationships with, get updates to, promote to my subscribers and find influencers with whom I can partner with to find JV partners for a venture I’m interested in.

Yes, Authority Spy helps you find JV Partners


Interested in promoting other people’s products or people who might be interested in driving a huge user base to yours? With AuthoritySpy, you’re in the right track. Why? Here’s a fraction of the reasons:

You can collaborate with them through their contact list
You can contact them for Affiliate Marketing

Authority Spy can be the Next SEO Tool


Authority spy helps you find the authority in your niche-- the rich pool of high PR backlinks which can drive both rankings and traffic. Truly targeted and safe for link building.

Are you ready for exposure?


If you’re not one of those “Get Rich Quick” IMers, you know that marketing is the key and the formula is simply: marketing = relationships.

Build relationships with the tough guys from your niche with this awesome tool.


This is just a fraction of the possibilities that urged me to promote Authority Spy. I know that I’m promoting something of great value and usefulness.  This is perhaps one of the best social media tools for 2014.
