I received a case study today, from someone who’s list I added myself to – a former “friend turned ‘get rich quick’ on the Internet blogger”. You know the type – I talk about them enough here! This person has gone down the usual ‘I’m a guru’ route, selling people freely available information and advice…

If you’ve read much of this site – you’ll know the thing I really hate is people who lie and cheat unsuspecting newbies out of their hard earned cash. This case study, boasting about how successful his content blog was, is full of unsubstantiated claims. He claimed massive use (far beyond anything that could be expected for the niche), without having the courtesy or good sense to back it up with even a screen shot of his stats.

He was very clearly over-stating his income from the site, the sales of his useless ebooks, and – this is what really pssied me off – his earnings from Google Adsense. In truth, he didn’t actually state his Adsense earnings – he did, however accompany the text with this image…

Perhaps at best it is misleading, it is designed to mislead – of that there is no doubt. But I say, in not saying it isn’t his – it’s downright fcuking dishonest. I’m sure you won’t be shocked to hear that the author’s day job is running a real estate agency!

So, what does it suggest – that he made $332 today, and $288 yesterday. No he didn’t!

I just came upon this ad whilst viewing my stats. What an idiot!

As well as “waisting” his money on Adwords, he also clearly “waisted” money on his education too…

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of the “get rich quick” Clickbank type bogus reports – many of which – and I suspect this is one – at the very least encourage people to teeter on the brink of Google terms and conditions, if not blatantly disregard them.

But really, come on, if you are going to spend money on Adwords you might as well at least take the time to spell the fcuking ad properly! Even if it is for a low life scam such as this.

If you’re reading this, do yourself a favour and do not buy thie siht from this idiot. (googlestreak.com – note no link)

Or, in the unlikely event you are the linguistically challenged idiot in question I challenge you to prove to me this works. I don’t believe you for one minute!

Really people, don’t “waist” your time on crap like this…
