Did know there are thousands of fake people giving fake advice on fake websites?

It’s strange, but true. But what’s even stranger is how many people are FOLLOWING the advice of these fake people only to find themselves in financial misery.

It’s nuts.

Meanwhile, there are people who actually care if you succeed that actually believe that ethics still have a place in the world.

For example, Michael Brown of TheProfitHQ.com really wants to help newbies succeed online and understands that many of them are starting on a limited budget. Plus he really does a great job in breaking down online business in a way that is easy to understand.

Unfortunately, even very smart people continue to fall for the fake people running fake blogs giving fake advice. To understand how big that problem is, just take a look at these fake blogs – which are only the ones starting with the letter “a”!

Note: Here’s what the Federal Trade Commission has to say about fake blogs (flogs):

“A final challenge is ensuring that consumers in the marketplace understand the source of information that they may use in making decisions regarding products and services. As digital consumers seek alternative sources of information about companies and products, their ability to make informed choices may be undermined if they are deceived about the source of the information. To date, in response to this concern, the FTC has advised that search engines need
to disclose clearly and conspicuously if the ranking or other presentation of search results is a function of paid placement, and, similarly, that consumers who are paid to engage in word-of-mouth marketing must disclose that fact to recipients of their messages. With techniques like seeding message boards, flogs (fake blogs), and mobile search marketing becoming more popular, the Commission will continue to monitor failures to disclose pertinent information – such as relationships between marketers and others – that could cause consumer injury.”
