		<description>Thank you for the reply Brian - I&#039;ve knocked your kind of get rich quick type of schemes all over the place. And, to be honest - I actually find it refreshing for once to see one of you guys actually stand up for yourselves... 10 out of 10 for that!

So - if you will permit me I&#039;ll ask you a couple of direct questions...

1. If you&#039;re making so much money at it why the fcuk are you selling it? This has always confused me about you &#039;get rich quick&#039; guys... 

2. Are you aware that either intended (as you claim) or not, your misspelling may well breach of the Adwords terms and conditions? (Ads must contain correct spelling. The only exceptions are commonly misspelled words or spelling variations that the majority of users would recognise and understand.)

3. Why the hell do all the pages you guys do look the same and make similar bullsiht claims whatever the &#039;product&#039; (a term I use loosely) - you know what I mean &quot;I was broke&quot;, &quot;lost money on scams like this&quot;, “But you can trust me”, &quot;now I make millions&quot;, &quot;simple&quot;, &quot;no effort or work&quot;. There wouldn&#039;t be a formula to suck people in would there by any chance? :)

Now - a little marketing lesson for you... 

IF the typo was intentional it clearly wasn&#039;t all that clever was it as - in this case - it&#039;s certainly attracted the wrong sort of attention. Really c&#039;mon - is that the best you can do...

As a close - thank you for the compliments – yes - compared to you I am far too busy and prestigious to be bothered with this stuff but I do hate to see people ripped off. This is why I try and highlight the suspect nature of these ‘businesses’. 

However, I&#039;m prepared to be proved wrong and I have made this challenge (never taken up) to people like you - If you really can PROVE to me this works I&#039;ll eat my words and write a positive review promoting your &#039;product&#039;. But I do mean PROOF - not just idle claims as on your web page.

You had the balls to respond. Do you have the balls to back it up with REAL evidence? Do that, and that&#039;s REAL marketing... Not Internet hype.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the promotional response to my &quot;misspelled&quot; ad.

One of the things you may want to study to further &quot;your&quot; education is marketing and why things get noticed --- hint.

Also, maybe before you knock other peoples products you could actually buy them , but I am sure someone as prestigious as your self is too busy for that.</description>
