I) Don’t get advice from fake blogs and fake people!

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: fake blogs, Fake testimonials, fake websites, Is IllShowYouHowToBeRich real?, Is IllShowYouHowToBeRich.com real?, Is www.IllShowYouHowToBeRich real?, Is www.IllShowYouHowToBeRich.com real? — Paul Schlegel @ 11:50 pm

Now call me crazy, but personally I wouldn’t get my advice from fake blogs running fake stories with fake photos? Would you?

Apparently many, many, many people get advice from fake blogs every day. But why would they do that when their are legitimate resources like TheProfitHQ.com that they can go to for real help from REAL people?

I suppose because they still want to buy into the idea of easy riches – even the ones who have been scammed time and time again.

And if you really want to see how many people who are still locked into a “get-rich-quick” mentality, check out the following PARTIAL list of fake blogs with fake stories and fake people:

H) Want fake advice or real help?

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: fake blogs, Fake testimonials, HoefferKevin, Is HowIMadeCash real?, Is HowIMadeCash.com real?, Is www.How I Made Cash.com real?, Is www.HowIMadeCash.com real?, KevinHoeffer — Paul Schlegel @ 11:27 pm

Apparently more and more people are looking for fake advice? How do I know this and what do I mean?

I meant that people are flocking to fake blogs like crazy while ignoring sites offering real help like TheProfitHQ.com and others. But why do people keep falling for nonsense and avoiding real help?

I think it’s because despite their claims that they are sick of hype and get rich schemes, there is some big part of them that still wants to believe that they’re out there. Of course, just like in any business, the more up front effort you put into something, the easier it is to make money later on.

That’s why the best sites like TheProfitHQ.com focus on the fundamentals so heavily. Believe it or not – fundamental laws of income STILL apply online. They don’t magically change once you’re connected to the internet.

And in case you’re wondering how many people ARE flocking to the fake blogs? Consider the following list which is just a PARTIAL sample of the thousands of fake blogs online right now:

G) Do you want fake blogs or REAL help?

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: fake blogs, Fake testimonials, flogs, Google-Kit, Google-Kit.com, www.Google-Kit, www.Google-Kit.com — Paul Schlegel @ 10:08 pm

WARNING about fake blogs

Why do people get sucked into fake blogs with fake people and fake stories? You know the ones that promise you can make $5,000/month “posting links” on Google?

Is it because the desire for freedom is so much stronger than the desire for truth? The funny thing is there are plenty of reliable business sites around like TheProfitHQ.com that can give them the chance to find both (truth AND freedom when it comes to business).

But people keep getting sucked into large monthly charges on their credit card from many of the products promoted by the fake blogs with fake people and fake stories. Again it’s amazing to because legitimate ones like TheProfitHQ.com are right around the “virtual corner”.

How big is the fake blog problem? Take a look at this PARTIAL list…these are only the fake blogs starting with the letter “g”.

Now, what’s baffling is how popular these fake blogs have become – especially when you consider the fact that there are REAL people offering REAL home business direction at places like TheProfitHQ.com and others.

So who are YOU going to listen to? Fake people with fake stories and fake photos? Or REAL people who actually want to HELP you succeed?

F) Are fake blogs starting to annoy you?

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: Can I Make Big Money Online, CanIMakeBigMoneyOnline, FreeWebsiteCash, FreeWebsiteCash.com, How to MakeMoney, www.Free Website Cash.com, www.FreeWebsiteCash, www.FreeWebsiteCash.com — Paul Schlegel @ 8:11 am

There have been a ridiculous amount of fake blogs populating the internet lately. And there seems to be no end in site. In fact the number of fake blogs I’ve seen so far has reached the thousands.

When will it end? Will it end? Or will I have to keep adding to the fake blog list?

Michael Brown of TheProfitHQ.com (which has great information on running online businesses) was the first to alert me to these fake blogs last year.

How bad is it? Just take a quick glance at the number of fake blogs starting with the letter “f” only:

E) Fake blogs pumping fake photos – yuck!

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: eGoogleCash, eGoogleCash.com, fake websites, learn online marketing, phony testimonials, www.e Google Cash.com, www.eGoogleCash, www.eGoogleCash.com — Paul Schlegel @ 7:41 am

How many fake blogs pumping fake “get rich” stories and fake photos do we need online? I guess a lot because I see new ones almost every day!

They usually show a check supposedly from Google of varying amounts – but typically $5,000 for some reason. They also claim that you can make money posting a link on Google or posting “links”.

Then they push people into trial offers that have monthly charges if the person doesn’t cancel. And many of the trial offers hide the terms of those monthly charges.

On the other hand legitimate online business training sites like TheProfitHQ.com have real people behind them that actually want to helpe you succeed.

Bizarrely, more and more people seem to be falling for fake blog promotions such as the following (this is a VERY partial list):

D) Wow – that’s a lot of fake business owners!

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: DiegoMakesDinero, DiegoMakesDinero.com, fake blogs, fake website photos, flogs, internetmarketing, marketinginternet, www.DiegoMakesDinero, www.DiegoMakesDinero.com — Paul Schlegel @ 6:40 am

Can you believe how many fake business owners there are on fake websites? It’s just growing out of hand. And bizarrely the people running these fake websites seem to think it’s just fine and dandy to run them.

I don’t.

Besides, why would anyone want to purchase a product recommended by a fake person? I guess they get sucked into the trial offers thinking – maybe not realizing there will be monthly fees?

Or maybe they don’t even realize the sites are fake and most of the photos are either stolen or from stock photo sites.

On the other hand, there are legitimate online business teachers like Michael Brown who runs the increasingly popular website TheProfitHQ.com who actually cares whether or not you succeed.

“Fake blogs are corrupted forms of public relations, which as a discipline demands transparency and honesty, according to the Public Relations Society of America’s code of ethics and the Word of Mouth Marketing Association’s code of ethics. Authenticity and transparency are important in social networking and blogging, as these codes of ethics attest.”

C) Are fake blogs still fooling you?

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: cheddathehustler debunked, cheddathehustler.com debunked, fakeblogs, flogs, www.cheddathehustler debunked, www.cheddathehustler.com debunked — Paul Schlegel @ 12:15 am

Maybe you’ve never been fooled by fake blogs using made up stories about made up stories that give fictional accounts of their online success – you know the type that show the Google Check and often use stock photos?

Maybe you’re too smart for that. But many people aren’t – even smart people! Instead of getting real information about making money online from real sites like TheProfitHQ.com I’ve seen them put themselves into financial misery by signing up for one of the “trial offers” that the fake blogs are pushing…only to discover later that many of those blogs (not all) are pushing offers that that hide the fact that there are substantial monthly fees involved.

How many fake blogs are out there? A ton of them!

Unfortunately they completely dwarf the number of really helpful sites like TheProfitHQ.com by a large margin.

Here’s a SMALL partial list of fake blogs – and these are ONLY the ones that start with the letter “c”!…

Many of the fake blog sites have promoted negative option offers which the FTC has held workshops on in the past to cover such areas as:

“1) the pros and cons of negative option marketing from consumer, business, and academic perspectives; 2) consumer behavior with respect to online offers; 3) applicable standards for making negative option offers; and 4) how to make disclosures clear and conspicuous, yet compatible with the advertising message. It is anticipated that public comments on each of these topics will help workshop participants develop and shape industry best practices for making negative option offers both off- and on-line.”

B) Fake blogs, fake stories, fake results…NO!

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: BarbarasMoneyBlog debunked, BarbarasMoneyBlog.com debunked, www.Barbaras Money Blog.com, www.BarbarasMoneyBlog.com debunked — Paul Schlegel @ 12:04 am

Can you believe that very smart people fall for those fake blogs with fake stories showing fake results? They do. I’ve seen it countless times.

Hopefully you’ve avoided all of that nonsense and are able to spot real people when you find them.

I’ve talked to my friend Michael Brown who runs TheProfitHQ.com the fake blogs several times in the past and we just have to shake our heads. Some people just have no morals and will do anything to make a buck.

Also, it drives us crazy because the same people can get REAL information about how to make money online from places like TheProfitHQ.com, but instead they keep falling for all kinds of ridiculous nonsense.

Take a look at how bad the fake blog phenomenon is…these are just the fake blogs that start with the letter “b”:

Also the Texas AG mentions fake blogs in one of their restraining orders:

“Defendants’ scheme generally starts when a consumer sees an advertisement on a popular Web site like Facebook or Google, or encounters a link within his or her Internet search results. Clicking on the advertisement or search resulttakes the consumer to a Web site that is designed to look like a personal blog (e.g. www.coreysmoneyblog.com – See Exhibit A attached). The blog, which is really just an advertisement, often has a title like “Learn how I make $5000+ a month
posting links on Google,” or “Would you like to make $5,000 a month posting a link on Google?”"

A) Tired of fake advice from fake people?

Filed under: Fake blogs A-Z — Tags: allensmoneyblog, allensmoneyblog.com, andrew-schaffer, andrew-schaffer.com, www.allensmoneyblog.com, www.andrew-schaffer, www.andrew-schaffer.com — Paul Schlegel @ 11:50 pm

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.”

What is the difference from a successful moneymaking Web site and one that is dead on arrival?

Filed under: Search Engine Optimization — Tags: Charles Kirkland, Charles Kirkland's SEOCodeBreaker, CharlesKirkland, SEOCodeBreaker article, SEOCodeBreaker.com article, www SEOCodeBreaker article, www.SEO Code Breaker.com, www.SEOCodeBreaker.com article — Paul Schlegel @ 6:44 am

The difference is one site gets lots of targeted free search engine traffic while the other site is on page 99 of Google at best.

That’s right—traffic and lots of it. Many people believe that content is king, but that’s like putting the cart before the horse. What good is the world’s greatest content if nobody ever finds it? But all traffic is not created equal. You could run up your credit card balance with pay-per-click traffic hoping for a decent return.

And if you are lucky enough to find a profitable niche, it is only a matter of time before someone else will move in, shrinking your profit margin to nothing.

Or you could write tons of articles and submit them to the hundreds of article sites and hope the end user feels like giving you credit for the article you wrote.

I don’t know about you but I have no desire to relive 12th grade English.

Or you could wait for the traffic ferry to come by and sprinkle some search engine love dust on your site.

I heard he is booked up, so good luck getting him to visit.

Or you could become a hermit and spend months learning everything about search engine optimization. Let’s face it, you have enough to do already without adding something else into your schedule.

Now there is a much easer way to get all the free traffic you could ever want, but it requires something…watching videos!

Charles Kirkland has done the hard part for you. Now you can learn from his success and failures with his new four-step process to get top search engine rankings. Charles takes the mystery out of getting top search engines listings in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

What makes this so amazing is that he has broken down the steps into a simple four-step process.

Watch the online videos of how it’s done online right now.

How Do I Achieve Good SEO?

The building blocks of organic (free) search engine optimization include:

Make good use of keywords. For users to find your web pages on your own site’s search engine and in commercial search engines like Google, pages must contain keyword phrases that match the phrases your users type into search boxes.
Have effective site architecture. You can develop a good site architecture that will help users easily understand the structure of your site, navigate the content, and succeed using your search engine. A few, simple navigation and coding tips can help you do that.
Have a process for indexing your site (using robots. text files).
Ensure quality links and link popularity. The last basic of successful search engine optimization is link popularity. That’s the number and quality of links that point to your website. Link quality (links from popular, highly trafficked, or respected sites) carries far more weight than link quantity.

SEOCodeBreaker continued:

“My process allowed me to rocket my sites to the front page of Google, Yahoo and MSN while I upset some very big companies. Despite the fact that most of my competitors are very well financed companies with entire departments dedicated to getting top search engine rankings, I was still able to hit the front page of Google in less than two weeks.”
