Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I haven't seen it. In fact, I hadn't heard about it at all until I read your message. It's possible I missed an affiliate newsletter somewhere along the way, but I suspect this is another one of those products they sell to their list first, before allowing their affiliates to sell it. (They pay a very generous commission to make up for this, but it seriously rattles me nonetheless, every time it happens.)
Anyhoo...
Because it comes from IMC, I assume it's a solid product... in fact, I assume it's even a great product, but I haven't laid eyes on it.
I read the testimonials and a bit of the ad copy, but I skipped around and I'm not quite sure what it is... I'm guessing niche sites??
They make it perfectly clear on the sales page that the people in the testimonials are the exception, not the rule, but one thing to be aware of even "among the ordinary" is that results vary wildly.
I have a content-based niche site, several hundred pages, approaching 7,000 unique visitors per day on busy days (mid-week), and my Google Adsense income is
quite good (in my opinion) (I'm not giving numbers because it seems to me that's against Google's rules)...
HOWEVER, it doesn't even come *CLOSE* (I'm talkin' different planet here) to what some people claim to be making. For example, on one Adsense board, someone asked what she should be making with about 5,000 uniques per day, and several people jumped in and claimed they were making $2,000+ PER DAY with 3,500 uniques. Maybe they are, but I have a really hard time believing that.
Anyhoo, I could be way off track here, since I haven't seen the course and I don't really know what it's about.
I'm just trying to say that you need to think realistically and don't believe every success story you read on boards (except this one, bwahahahahaha!).
Luv,
MaaMaw

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
