Automatic Backlink Building Software Hype

I do actually think that the Thirty Days Challenge run by Ed Dale and his gang is a valuable link to have. You see, now when someone asks me to teach them how to make money online, I can just refer them to Ed’s site and tell them to watch the tutorials.

I have learned over the years that no matter how much you try to teach them, 95% of people will not become web publishers. At most, they’ll play with it for a couple of months and then move on to look for a “real job”. At least this way, I don’t have to waste time teaching them. If they’re serious enough to make it through the tutorials there, then it’s time for me to step in and offer further guidance.

While I do appreciate the work Ed and co. put into the online course, I do have a problem with some of the offers they’re pushing. The latest piece of hype landed in my inbox today and referred me eventually (after collecting and verifying my email address) to this page -

Talk about a landing page designed to sell to the masses. It reminded me of that page -

I mean…  honestly…

I love how they try to convince you that this isn’t spam or black hat. Oh no, I’m sure their bots leave meaningful comments on blogs, and only bookmark genuinely relevant information on social networks sites. It’s as smart as a human, dontcha know? (I guess it could be argued that s0me humans can be as dumb as a bot…?)

They do come up with an original argument to justify using a spam bot:

Consider this: Think Google would have grown into a multi BILLION dollar company (on YOUR back, no less) if they ranked every site by hand? If they looked at your site with their eyes and decided what ads to place on it?

No Freaking Way. They use Software to do the heavy lifting.

So Why Exactly Shouldn’t YOU do the same?!

Brilliant, isn’t it?
