Salty Droid and Julian Assange

Similar stories. Julian Assange is the face of Wikileaks who is getting kicked all over the place for daring to bring “secrets” into the light. Salty Droid in the same boat, but for exposing a different bunch of secrets. This sounds familiar For Assange, by contrast, a conspiracy is something fairly banal, simply any network [...]

Did You REALLY Want To Make Money?

I’m seriously torn here. Y’see there has been a major launch of a product this week that is almost (if it hasn’t already) closed it’s doors. The usual story, tell the story of how it’s too good to be true, offer your money back guarantee, build up all that need and desire and then hit [...]

IMTW – Death By a Thousand Cuts

Internet Marketing This Week pocast is a mostly weekly podcast that covers what interests Ed Dale, Paul Colligan, Michelle McPhearson and Lynn Terry that week.  It is an interesting listen just to get to understand their personalities a little more, though a little light on”in depth” type information about internet marketing. Infotainment really. The latest [...]

Brad Fallon Goes Bananas

Brad Fallon’s Twittering is erratic to say the least. 7261 followers (he’s a guru, don’t ya know) but only 262 updates since April 2007 (yep, 21 months – approx. 1 Tweet every 2.5 days). He’s what I would call more of a “I’ve gotta launch” tweeters than someone who stops to genuinely interact. So, Brad [...]

Foot In Mouth Disease

It pays for Internet marketers to be up to date with what is going down around them and not just focussing on self promotion. That means reading the latest blogs, keeping up with who’s product is who and generally being present. Which is why Lynn Terry is apparently fishing a stiletto from her tonsils after [...]

Do Ya Think?

That John Carlton is sending a message to Andy Jenkins in his post today The Reason You Screwed Up . Totally makes sense to me, Film editors… You screw up… you disembowel the entire gig. And your fabulous excuse doesn’t fix anything. No one wants to hear it. Wonder how much that screw up with [...]

Leave Your BRAIN At The Door

Question: Have you seen the new PPC Spy thing being bandied about? For fun go sign up with a gmail account or something just to get to the second video. Now ask yourself one simple question – are you stupid enough to sign up for the platinum product. The premise this product is being sold [...]

Not That There is Anything Wrong With That

Look out around the traps for the new Mike Filsaime product. It won’t be hard to find. All the “inner circle” dudes will be helping their “buddy” out by spruiking it up. And I will probably rant about the whole offer later because it totally makes me laugh is so incongruent. But tell me, what [...]

The Spam Seed.

Interesting that on further research into the Wayne Mansfield name that was compared to Ed Dale we come up with a Wikipedia entry that just BOGGLES the mind with the description of the heinous activities that Wayne Mansfield apparently got up to. Extract: Wayne Mansfield, of Perth in Western Australia, was the head of direct [...]

Frank Kern – Pied Piper Pt2

Yep the following leaked email proved what I thought —————————————————————- Subject: Don Fleece Update The Don Fleece prank was a massive success. For the first time since 1983 or something, John Reese was away from his computer for like 10 straight hours while he was out Christmas shopping. (Probably buying really nice stuff for me.) [...]

Ed Dale Punches On With Trib

To some  non- IMers the long sales letter = Nigerian scam. That is how self-styled  social media specialist Stephen Collins fell into a bit of a hole when he accused Ed Dale of being associated with some form of flim-flammery after spotting the sales letters for Dominiche (web site selling course) and the Thirty Day [...]

Frank Kern – Pied Piper?

I have been having a good chuckle to myself watching the “shenanigans” going on in Frank Kern’s world.  In particular I enjoyed watching the mass movement of a great deal of his followers to perform various deeds to play a “prank” on John Reese. The “prank” seemed to fall flat because whatever was going on [...]

K-Mart Buys Chris Brogan for $500

Or so some of the hysteria on twitter would have you believe. Long story short (and jeez does Chris make short stories LONG) Chris Brogan is an advisory member on some board for pay-for-post mob Izea . Izea want to run a campaign for K-Mart to get bloggers blogging about the K-Mart shopping experience, so [...]

Cash and Not Content, Is King

Miracles do happen! This past couple of weeks a high profile continuity site with a loyal following, finally got their shit together and paid out affiliate commissions (some of which went back 18 MONTHS). Sources tell me there were some very happy people who had kept quiet while waiting for their payments. Luckily all the [...]

Pay Up Pedo!

Some weird stuff happens in the IM world, usually caused by some weird people. So when a week or so ago I came across the story of the business relationship that had gone bad and ended up with claims of paedophillia I was not so surprised. After reading the long rambling blog post that could [...]

What is IMBitchin About?

There is so much that happens in the IM world that just does not get written about. Mostly because people are scared that if they do it is going to cost them money. Thing is this shit is too good to just let disappear. I will be blatantly upfront about this blog is here to [...]
