FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

Hi Clint!
I was going to email you privately, but after I typed up the email, I decided that this is EXACTLY the sort of thing that I feel should be discussed here at FIB and maybe it will also spur some interesting discussion...
Anyway, I downloaded and read the free money report you linked to in one if your posts below, but I'm not sure I'd call it the best ebook I've ever read. :-)
At first I thought it was your ebook, but then I realized it's just a rebranded book you are giving away, and there is only one link in the entire ebook that would pay you if someone clicked on it and made a purchase. So basically, you're just helping James Fraser make more money, which is probably how he REALLY makes his money, and I'm guessing he makes very little through AdSense (of course, I have no proof of that).
There were a few issues I found with the ebook, and they are:
1. I found 2-3 links in his ebook that don't even work and that's a big no-no in my opinion.
2. If you analyze James' own website, you see that he's not employing all the techniques he teaches in his ebook.
3. And what's even more crazy is that he doesn't even have AdSense ads displayed on his own site, despite the ebook saying that he does!
So my questions for you are... Are YOU using the techniques taught in the book? And is it working for you? Are you willing to share how much you're earning from AdSense? And what about sharing a few website URL's that you've set up using these techniques?
I'm not trying to put you on the defensive here or call you out in a public forum. As I said, I was going to email you privately, but AdSense has been discussed several times here and I think this thread could provide some valuable info for others.
Personally, even though I run a website called "Mauder's Money Matters" which is about making money online, I have struggled since 1997 to do it in a big way. Sure, I've made money using all the techniques I talk about on my site, but let's just say... I'm still working a full time J.O.B. :-)
As you can see on my website, I have AdSense ads displayed all over the place, and I think I have a pretty content rich site. However, I make very little from AdSense and I get only an occassional affilate sale. My search engine rankings stink despite having tried to employ technique after technique that I've learned through ebooks similar to what you are promoting.
I'm TRULY interested in learning how to make more money online, but I've never found anyone promoting something like this "AdSense Mint" ebook who is ACTUALLY using their own stuff to successfully make money. They're usually making money by selling the info that teaches others how to make money in a way that doesn't really work the way it is presented. (if that made sense)
Best,
Dave Mauder

| 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.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

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!!). |
