The 100% Response Sales Letter – Fact or Fiction?
Friday, March 14th, 2008It started again yesterday. Just when I thought I’d unsubscribed from all the lists I needed to I received 6, yes SIX emails, all saying EXACTLY the same thing but all from different sources.

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008“Fast Action Bonus” – “Get Your First Mover Advantage” I’ve no time to talk to you guys today – I have to collect whatever the bonuses are that have hit my inbox.

The Emperor Has No Clothes
Saturday, March 1st, 2008The Anti Hype is not alone. Since I started this blog a month ago I’ve found more and more supporters of my Anti Hype stance.

Internet Marketing Newbies Are Idiots – Official
Thursday, February 28th, 2008One of Guru Fodder’s loyal subscribers today told me about an email current doing the rounds, which has stirred me into an agitated state.
