Virtual Smart Agents … Smart To Use?

May 18, 2008 – 10:52 pm
I know you've seen them, and I know you have an opinion. Everybody has an opinion on the VirtualSmartAgents. My dad has an opinion too, and I'll get to that in a moment. First though, if you don't know what VSA's are, they are annoying little popup-windows simulating a customer service representative wanting to give you a better deal than the one present on the page. The popups appear when you are about to leave the page, or atleast they are supposed to... In some cases I've stumbled upon, the script is set to show the popup every time the mouse pointer loses focus on the current page (as in your mouse pointer slides away from the browser window), which includes when you click a link. Not good. The better ones won't popup until you're about to close the browser window (or tab if you don't use an older browser), or hit ...

Dirk Wagner Is NOT A Spammer

May 14, 2008 – 11:35 am
The spam-story seems to have gotten a happy ending :) That's great, I love happy endings :) Chris (the victim of the story, so to speak) finally got in touch with Dirk - who was just as puzzled as to how, why and who these spam messages was sent in the first place. The page being spammed has been removed, although all the bounce-backs keep hitting Chris' mailbox. On a side-note, one of my domains got taken down the other day (covertpayments.com, the domain that host several of my products), because of a spammer. I know who he is, as his paypal-address was clearly visible in the spam-mails, and I have full understanding why the mail was reported to SpamCop. I would've done the same thing. While I'm working this out with my host, I'm going to report him to PayPal as well. So, if you've tried visiting covertpayments.com, you now know why it's ...

Is Dirk Wagner A Spammer?

May 12, 2008 – 11:56 am
I got a disturbing comment on an old post about one of Dirk Wagners old Crazy Weekend deals, claiming that Dirk Wagner was sending out spam. After contacting the reader to see if there was any truth to this, and reading through the material provided, I decided to approve the comment. I also decided to write a post about it, because it seems pretty disturbing and very alarming to me that someone I've seen as a pretty decent and serious marketer would engage in this type of criminal activity. The spam-mail in question looks like this: Oferta que vale la pena mirar. Pack compuestos por Software, Video Marketers Tool Kit, Plantillas,eWriter Pro y Internet Marketing Lost Secrets entre otros. Lo más asombroso es el precio de cada uno y como si fuera poco, licencia de reventa a través de una replica de esta web con tu login de PayPal para tu cobrar directamente y sin intermediarios. Visitanos en ...

What’s up Doc?

April 17, 2008 – 2:58 pm
I've been absent for a couple of months now (as usual), but I do have a couple of reviews and rants coming up, like a review of VirtualSmartAgent and SelfGrowing Websites. I turn 33 this Sunday (20th of April) and you know what that means. You'll get another one of those "I turn old tomorrow, so to celebrate I've decided to sell you this old piece of crap for a brand new price"... Or NOT :D Check in on Sunday for a nice surprise from me to you! Did you miss me while I was gone? ;)

Let’s talk about memberships …

January 30, 2008 – 3:22 pm
I have no doubt you have received many promotions for membership sites the past year or so. You've probably also received numerous promotions for various products "teaching" how to become rich with membership sites ...  I have. I've also bought a few, and I've become a member of several sites producing and purchasing great new material for it's members to use in their marketing. Membership sites come and go. Some are great and get constant updates several times a month. Some simply stop adding updates after a couple of months.  Others provide updates in a timely manner, but with crappy products hardly even worth reading yourself, much less promoting in any way, shape or form. I've already mentioned Cody Moya a couple of times (who primarily refurbish Public Domain material that you are not "allowed" to resell if you cancel your membership), and Ian del Carmen is another one. Sure, they both ...

Ross Goldbergs Affiliate Marketing 2.0

January 14, 2008 – 11:46 pm
I've promised you this review over and over again, and somehow I always end up having to set a new deadline for it :) Well, today I spent a couple of hours reading, watching, listening and then doing it all over again. So what did I learn? To be honest, not that much. In the ebook Ross recommends choosing other products than just ebooks from clickbank, and goes through the various types of affiliate programs you can choose between. He talks about cloaking links, and recommends one free service for link cloaking. This didn't exactly feel like news. Next, Ross explains how to choose the products you want to promote, and reveals Clickbank, PayDotCom, FreeIQ and 2CheckOut. Last time I checked, 2CheckOuts affiliate program was still in beta and not open for the public. And Clickbank? Ross spent the previous chapter explaining why eBooks weren't the only choice for affiliate marketing, and yet ...

It’s 2008 …

January 4, 2008 – 7:04 pm
Amazing, isn't it? We're only 4 days into the new year, and I've already received tons of crap-promotions. One that disturbed me especially was a sale of 7 plr products... I feel pity for anyone purchasing that package as they will run into legal problems if they use it. The sellers of that package don't have rights to resell PLR. I know since I've purchased PLR to all the products myself. It kinda ticks me off that people don't read the licenses for the stuff they re-sell. It's not ok to sell illegal licenses. Not at all. How would you feel if you purchase PLR to a product, and the original author suddenly sends you a mail threatening with legal actions if you don't take it off the market and tell your customers to delete it? I've had it happen... Not fun at all. Others have been sued with no warning for selling products ...

Nope, I didn’t forget :)

December 21, 2007 – 11:58 pm
You didn't think I'd forget my Christmas gifts for you, did you? I didn't. But this has been one long day... I went out to get the last of the Christmas presents today, and so did obviously the rest of my city. We're talking buses 30 minutes late, 45 minutes in line to pay for your stuff. Luckily for me, I have an "express"-card, meaning I scan my own merchandise, go to the register and pick out my card, and then I'm outa there :D I bet atleast a couple of hundred other shoppers decided today that they're gonna get that service too ;) Today I'm going to bring you two Christmas-related products with PLR. Here's the thing, I haven't used them myself yet, because I realised last week that it was a bit late to start working them. Download the ebook here and the related articles here I bet ...

Another Gift for you

December 20, 2007 – 12:11 pm
What kind of Santa would only give you a short pdf-file? I've decided I should give you something more than that. So, you get MRR to "Being Safe Online at Christmas" - about shopping safely on the internet. You can download it here. Enjoy!

It’s almost Christmas :)

December 19, 2007 – 2:58 pm
I've never been a real fan of Christmas myself, but I do enjoy the chance to spend some extra time with my loved ones. That's Christmas for me :) The food (eating it, that is) and gifts isn't really essential anylonger, but I will absolutely enjoy to see my daughter open her gifts (especially the tri-cycle I bought for her), and ofcourse I'm going to enjoy all the Christmas-food (although I'm a vegetarian myself, as is my daughter and her mother), and especially making it... I love cooking. I love cooking for festive events like Christmas, New Year, Easter and so on. I enjoy seeing my loved ones dig in on their plates... Although the past year has been a personal disaster, long hospital stays, illnesses in the family, and the dreaded break-up with my ex. girlfriend, I have enjoyed the past two months so much it almost makes ...
