I’ve always had a problem with so called Internet Marketing ‘Gurus’, but they get on my nerves over and over again…
Recently, I pretty much came to the rescue of a major Keyword program offered on Clickbank. I won’t say the name – but the guy who owns it is very well known in the Internet Marketing world.
What had happened was that his Download and Registration page was showing up in the SERPS and people were abusing the system and taking advantage of his mishap… they were legally registering the program and downloading it without any problems.
Not once did this guy offer anything to me in return, not even a thanks until I became a bit irritated and wrote him back a few days later with a “you’re welcome”… I figured I at least deserved that? He replied with some junk programs that he no longer sells. I never used them, but at least “I” had the courtesy of saying thanks. Oddly enough, he wouldn’t even give me a copy of the program I saved from being taken advantage of. OK?
So the other day I noticed a pretty popular Affiliate had sent me an email to this recently big launch of this program (in November, I believe?) that was on special for only $4.95 and $39.95 each month. I figured “hmmmmm… I bet my readers would like a deal like that!”. So I contacted him and asked him what was up with getting my readers that deal… his reply was simply asking me how many people I have on my list.
Seeing as how I don’t push my list too much on this site, as well as the fact that I just now started using an opt-in form, I explained that I don’t have a 1,000+ member list, but my blog readers would more than likely be interested in the deal.
His response? Nothing…
Basically, here’s what happened. The guy wanted to sell a few more copies for dirt cheap as a favor for his Affiliate/Guru buddy who probably did him a favor in the past…but he didn’t want the link to “get out”.
I guess I’m old fashioned and believe that when someone sends you a reply, whether you like it or not, at least reply back with SOMETHING?
Now you didn’t think I wasn’t going to let this go, did you? ha ha… here’s the link – so grab it if you want it for cheap! There’s absolutely NO affiliate link with this, but please read the information!
I figure that if he didn’t want to make Sales, he shouldn’t be placing the link for buddies only, right? 
I don’t dislike the guy, I’m just surprised that some people stay in Business with that type of disrespect. I get a ton of emails all day long and I’m quick to respond and my readers who ask those questions will agree. I do understand that people get busy, but too busy until it comes to a few extra bucks? Not cool.
