Adwords Shenanigans Continue – Adwords Ad Promoting Fake News Site

May 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

On the heels of the recent FTC “Fake News” sweep announcement I was curious to see a new advertisement pop up promoting a fake news site allegedly promoting products such as Search And Social Media & Eprofits. You can see that in the video below:

You’ll notice that site promoting Search And Social Media doesn’t disclose that it’s a fake news site. You’ll also see the usual fake countdown timers. And you’ll notice that the McAfee security seal is actually for Plimus and not the SearchAndSocialGoldmine.com site referenced on the order page.

I’m not 100% sure how Plimus works, but it doesn’t appear that this product is being sold through Plimus at all.

Freedom108.com review of sales process

May 22, 2011 By 2 Comments

When I recently saw a commercial for Freedom108.com I was surprised to see of some of the testimonials which seemed to potentially violate the FTC’s recent No Safe Harbor guidelines. Especially since the company behind the ads – Premier Team International does have an “A” rating with the BBB (I’ve explained many times before why BBB ratings in the “work at home/home business” field are practically worthless). Of course I’m not an attorney, so of course this is just a layman’s reading of the guidelines, but here’s how David Vladeck, the Directory of the FTC’s Bureau has explained these guidelines:of what the most recent guidelines says:

“…the use of a disclaimer such as “results not typical” is no longer a safe harbor for the claims made in testimonials. Third, while you may use atypical or best-case testimonials, if you do, you should clearly and conspicuously disclose the generally expected results consumers can expect in the depicted circumstances. Of course, the best practice, and the less risky practice, is to use testimonials that actually reflect what your product or services is likely to deliver. In other words, rather than run ads that give with one hand but take away with the other, it would be better for your ads to give a clear picture of the results a consumer will actually get.”

The following video takes a look at Freedom108′s sales process in light of that statement as well as a $39.95 charge which I found suprisingly hard to find:

Many of you may be surprised to find out about the $39.95 from Freedom108.com, especially when they have a section on part 2 of the order process that says:

Pay Nothing More

Pay Nothing More

And they have a section on part 3 of the order process (the page where you enter your credit card information) that says the following:

Pay Nothing More CC Info

Pay Nothing More CC Info

You’ll notice that none of them mention the $39.95 charge found on the terms and conditions page – even though they have PLENTY OF ROOM to disclose it on those pages.

And if you have no idea what $39.95 charge I’m talking about, it was covered in the above video…and here’s a screenshot showing the wording of that charge:

Terms & Conditions $39.95 Charge

Terms & Conditions $39.95 Charge

And if you watched the video you’ll see what a hard time I had even getting to the terms and conditions page.

There are some other minor issues I have with this sales process, but I felt those were serious enough to warrant calling them to your attention.

There are hundreds – if not thousands – of sites very similar to Freedom108.com and it would be impossible to analyze all of them here, but the ones I know about are as follows:

Push Button Cash Site review of sales tactics

May 6, 2011 By 21 Comments

I started doing this Push Button Cash Site review of its sales tactics because of my new interest in the sales tactics used in recent launches. The sales letter itself was so misleading and bizarre that I ended up creating the following equally strange Push Button Cash Site review video  (A more standard review of the sales tactics is below the video).

The sales page goes a long way to tell you what the product is, but of course never tries to explain what the “magic, secret, whiz-bang” software/system is. Not only that, but it uses the typical dubious claim of only have “x numbers of a certain piece of software left” when it states:

“Now, I know you might hate reading this, but you have to make this decision fast, because I’m forced allow this software to be downloaded by only 200 people. ”

The Internet Will Disappear Soon!

The Internet Will Disappear Soon!

It’s the typical sales letter that tries to suck in people by claiming they can “push a button and make tons of money”. If you want to keep believing in fairy dust and magic secrets then fine. But what I’ve tried to do over the years is put up videos such as the video here which actually explains what it REALLY takes to make money online…and it’s NOT a secret AND it’s not a $37 piece of software that claims to make tons ocash from a Push button Clash Site – review that last statement very carefully!

Push Button Cash Site will only cost you $47 + a few hundred more dollars.

I don’t have a problem with upsells that are reasonable. But don’t you wonder why “Daniel Young”, the “owner” of Push Button Cash site is paying people up to $263 per sale to sell his Push Button Cash Site product? Take a look at his page where he’s recruiting people to sell his software:

Push Button Cash Site paying people up to $263 to sell its software

Push Button Cash Site paying people up to $263 to sell its software

So what does that page mean for you? It means that he expects YOU to spend up to $438.33 on his $47 product by trying to get you to buy more and more “stuff” to help you succeed.

But wait a minute…doesn’t he claim he claim in his sales letter that he used the exact same $47 software to make $2,428,749.88 dollars in 24 months? I mean, if he’s telling truth that he made $2,428,749.88 with his $47 software, why would you need to pay for anything else?

According to Don & Jeremy’s Push Button Cash Site review he wants you to play for plenty more in order to be “successful” with his amazing “can’t miss” push button software. But here’s something even more interesting that someone who bought the software said:

“It adds a “powered by” link to the footer of your site which is not good at all since Auto generated content is totally against Google’s TOS.”

If you’re wondering if that’s true, then you may want to read what Google itself has to say about auto-generated content:

Google will take action against domains that try to rank more highly by just showing scraped or other auto-generated pages that don’t add any value to users.

Now, there are rare cases where auto-generated content does add value – the popular TechMeme site is such an example:

“Techmeme uses an algorithm to order stories by importance, which depends on several factors that include the number of links to the story’s web page and how old the story is. “Anti-gaming” efforts have been made to lower the effect that a high number of links can have on a story if the links were created in a short period of time, or by a small number of people.”

In other words, Techmeme is actually providing a potentially valuable service for certain type of users. It’s not just scraping content from other sites and posting them to a new site.

Push Button Cash Site customer support problems

I’ve also seen several people complaining about the lack of support at Push Button Cash Site. Even people saying the software didn’t even work when they bought it and tried to use it with certain hosting companies.  Maybe that’s been fixed maybe it hasn’t. I’d love to hear your own experience with Push Button Cash Site – you can share them below. But, please do NOT place links in the comments.
