Traumatizing News About My A $100K Blueprint Case Study
August 10th, 2011 | 
Author: Well folks, stick a fork in it! The big G has notified me that my case study site in the pharmacy niche is toast when it comes to ad revenue. What doesn’t make sense to me is this:
It says the Violations Found were:
1. Pages with little to no original content. Um, that’s ALL I have on my site! 100% original content, well written I might add.
2. Clear navigation and organization. Now this is a little confusing. It’s a blog, so you simply scroll through one page to the next. The sidebar navigation links were created per instructions in A $100K B.
So here’s the deal folks. While I like to pursue the learning of products where a specific earning strategy is taught verbatim, it’s never once worked out for me.
The stuff I do inherently on my own – blogging here, info product creation, affiliate recommendations the way *I* do it – those are the ones I never have a problem with.
Think about it – During my OWM review my blogger site got the ax, too. It had a specific strategy for content building on there.
I think I’ve decided that I prefer courses that just teach broad, ethical lessons on sharing. I’m not saying this wasn’t ethical. I’m saying a course that teaches me how to become a leader in sharing information, for example – and maybe gives me some technical steps if I don’t know what buttons to push to make the blog work.
Everything else – specific keyword strategies to game G for example – have never once worked out as well for me as THIS blog has, where I build a genuine following and two way communication.
Today several people asked me about the SEO method I missed when I did yesterday’s blog titles. I had implemented John S Carlton’s recommendations from his Power Words list – specifically, I included the phrases:
“sweetheart deal”
“down and dirty” and “cleverly disguised”
“marked for death”
and “cold cock”
I didn’t concern myself with making sure it had a keyword in the title. I just wrote it. And this place outperforms all my other case study systems where I’m specifically trying so hard to climb over the competition. Here, I’m just ME, sharing what I WANT to share.
I have some thing to think about when it comes to reviews. I might be on the verge of changing the way I conduct those.

Interesting that your conclusions fall directly inline with what Google preaches through Matt Cutts and various other channels.
Originality, creativity and a unique voice.
What I appreciate about you is that you tell it like it is, remaining true to yourself and your followers/colleagues online.
Thank you.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune with google. My sites went in the toilet, too, although I didn’t get an email. I apparently got into trouble with google while trying to set up a feed for a new blog. Go figure. This month I’m only making a small fraction of what I made last month with adsense.
I’m going to set up the PLR ATM system this fall, once my life returns to being somewhat normal. I’m tired of google having the power of life and death over me, as far as income goes. It’s impossible to be totally independent of google, but it’s sure possible to set up things so they can’t screw you over so easily!
Might it really be the niche and not those other factors since they clearly miss the mark?
its’a about a health career – but they specifically told me why so no clue
Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Remember the country where you could pursue your dreams without fear of recrimination?
Freedom of speech is in relationship to the government, not a private business or individual.
I have the right to stand on public property and protest what the Government is doing, but I don’t have that right in your front yard! Aren’t you glad!
Hi Tiff,
Scary stuff, thanks for sharing so candidly as usual!
It’s getting to the point that a lot of these courses are jeopardizing folks accounts. From Adsense to You Tube.
I just read from a guy on the Warrior Forum who was booted from Amazon’s affiliate program. He was doing things by the book but that included using frames for his affiliate links so they gave him the boot.
It’s getting to the point that a lot of these systems can cause issues with Google et al. I’m leery of trying any of these things since the advice might be lead to headaches down the road.
Or perhaps it was the niche alone, I would think the pharmacy niche is heavily policed by big G and 3-lettered government agencies.
but it was pharmacy career – like your local pharmacist
That could be where the misunderstanding occurred.
I am rabid about things like this – I won’t let anything like this go without a fight.
Actually Tiffany,
Some of us on the 100k forum were able to pull up a cached version of your site and noticed that the content appeared to be fairly short.
Though the content may have been unique per se, it didn’t appear to be unique enough to be helpful to readers as it might have possibly been.
Though you probably tried to stick to the guidelines for the course, it’s clear that you didn’t really hit that mark 100%. No offense. This takes time to do properly.
There is nothing in the course would cause someone to be rejected by Google Adsense at all. It teaches building excellent, lengthy content with proper on and off page SEO.
No offense taken – I implement a course verbatim so I did what I was taught. It’s not a hitting the mark question. I hit the mark here fine – with short posts or not. I have a feeling it was 1 of two things: the footer OR the niche. Who knows? I’m not sweating it because the income wasn’t that great yet. The content, however, was 100% unique – there’s no “unique enough” when it comes to duplicate content. It was written from scratch. Now helpful is another issue but then that’s why this type of course for click throughs isn’t my top priority.
Hi Tiff,
I remember you saying a while back about not wanting folks to be finding your niches in-case of problems with G and click stuff problems.
It might help if you were to a pen name for the reviews.
Personally I think it’s your footer link that’s causing problems.
BTW…Even though I just found the site, I would never do anything untoward in terms of clicks etc. Some others, I dunno. I would use a pen name though.
Robbie
footer link?
modified for 100k Blueprint.
Is there a forum for those participating in the AdSense $100K Blueprint program? I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem.
I just bought the program (go figure) this morning from a site and got a lifetime membership to the forum as part of the deal. The course is good – there is NOTHING in it that advocates violation of any of Googles policies – it’s a long term plan, and from what I can tell thus far, a good one.
Yes, there is an A100k forum, with appx. 1500 users participating.
We have an astonishingly low number of accounts bans, less than 5. And of those, we’ve worked with 2 on an appeal, and they actually had their accounts restored – the first time I’ve ever seen that happen in all my Adsense experience.
We’re going to try and see if what might have caused the problem in this instance, but I can tell you from direct personal experience, and that of thousands of others, following A100k to the letter will not cause an account to be banned.
Michael Ullman
Tiff,
That’s so interesting that happened to you with your adsense site. You follow a course verbatim and then you get dinged. That’s why I take any course with a grain of salt. The Big G changes so rapid that I feel any course that has anything to do with it is outdated before it even goes on the market…
Obviously what you’re doing here works – so keep on keeping on. We’re watching and learning.
Lee Ann
That almost seems like a mistake to me – if sites constructed in the manner outlined in this course are not acceptable, then, well pretty much NOTHING will be acceptable with Google (and thus they will eventually have no ad revenue). I know they are unresponsive for the most part, but that could be a mixup – especially since the ‘violations’ are bogus.
Either that or it’s a cover-up for the fact that they are discouraging sites on this topic? Dunno.
The Big G is on a witch hunt. They closed my adwords account for linking to a site that they hate. The site was completely different when I linked to it 3 years ago and they are telling me the only way to get my acct back it to get the owner of the site to change it.???
you… they… WHAT?? Seriously?! I don’t know what site you had, but I honestly can’t believe it was low quality or anything like that. And all of a sudden it gets terminated? Weird O.o
Guess they don’t want quality content after all *lol*
Really liked these titles, they were fun and had a lot of personality
I guess the best thing to do with any course or strategy is to pick what works for you, apply that and ignore the rest.
I’m looking forward to what you have in store for us in the future – FrankenTiff it!
I’m sorry, that really sucks. But I know Google is very very twitchy about anything in the pharm field, in fact I thought they didn’t allow Adwords ads for it.
When you think about it, all these courses and techniques were originally someone just doing their own thing too – maybe that’s why they never work as well for anyone else?
Normally that’s true – when trying to exploit some guru ‘loophole’. That’s not what this course is (I am only about half done). It’s just common sense, laid out in a very easy to follow, step by step pattern. Unless there’s a problem with the niche, or you violate an and T&C, it’s really just about building quality pages with original content.
I am sticking with my theory that it’s (dishonest) cover for not liking the niche OR a simple mistake, given the ‘violations’ don’t make sense.
Wow. Seems like more of a problem with Google having its digi-panties in a twist, less so to do with the course itself. Ugh. They better watch it, otherwise they won’t be number 1 for long.
Sometimes I hate google and their dayum rules…..I had an issue with my adwords account same issue as Heather….they saw i promoted a site like 4 years ago….and im like WTF….really….but its whatever if they didnt want my money they could have just sent that instead of some bogus claim.
If it was about a career, maybe adding a job board via the indeed.com api is an idea to at least salvage the work you’ve done. There are other ad networks as well since you’re getting traffic.
Still it sucks. I’m leery of following most courses verbatim when it comes to the big G because if it’s not updated regularly – like every time the big G updates it’s stuff, it’s automatically outdated or worse, dangerous to your access to a potential income stream.
What a waste of time adsense is. It’s truly a joke.
Just as much as the marketers teaching it. It’s like teaching someone to build a house on the sand but before you do so, pay me for my cheesy make money online product.
I used to be an adsense sucker. Logging in to check stats, not able to sleep because I worried about them pulling my account, blah, blah, blah.
Want to see some nasty adsense sites?
They’re called “Scrapper sites”. Just search long tail keywords and you’ll find shit for brains sites built by morons that love to work for pennies.
Working for adsense clicks is a suckers game.
Hi Tiff
When I read this post, I have to admit that I did have a little chuckle. Why? Well it seems as if the gods are trying to make sure that you listen to your own advice which is to concentrate on the things you love and that make you the big bucks.
I remember a while ago you wrote out how much money each revenue stream you are in makes, with Product Creation and PLR topping the list. Therin lies your true calling – teaching and providing quality content.
These oroduct reviews have been really educational and helpful for people who are dithering about whether to buy or not to buy but the system just seems to be against you. LoL
Time to stick it to the man and focus on your own products.
Of course, I am biased, cos I purchased PLR ATM and have found it to be a great course to follow and made my money back quite quickly.
It seems that many other bloggers are in agreement that it is time to start focusing on ways to make money without being so reliant on Google or the search engines for success.
Sorry about the Google slap but maybe it was a wake up call to lead you towards your true purpose.
Tiptopcat
PS. I am enjoying a lovely glass of Rose wine so I could be a little bit tipsy. Hic!
Google has more contradictions than a jungle snake. Do a search for any IM product of the “commission crusher” type and look at the top 3 “review” sites. One guy (no names) consistently ranks #1 or #2 (sometimes both) yet his site has virtually no content and definitely nothing worth reading. I suspect this issue is more adsense related but I may be wrong.
Sorry to hear the bad news Tiff… you of all people don’t deserve to be banned…
I lost my Adsense account years ago and still don’t know why… they wouldn’t tell me either… but they found it convenient to do it right before I reached the payout threshold of $100… and it took me over a year to gradually get it to that point too… so it was nothing sudden… seems they were doing that to a lot of people so I wasn’t alone… never got paid… never used Google advertising again… and when they took over the affiliate account I was in I dumped them there too… I refuse to give them power over me especially when there’s many viable alternatives out there… Google may be the biggest but they’re not the only player in town!
Linda =}
While I am sorry that you’ve been caught up in the Google clean out (for the second time this year
)You summed up the problem with many of these courses when you said that they teach “specific keyword strategies to game G for example ”
A lot of SEO techniques and tactics ARE designed to cheat the system and people get their ‘digi-panties’ in a twist when Google catches them out. people need to understand what it is they are being taught to do.
I would say that your site was canned simply because of the pharmacy angle – regardless of context.
Thankfully you have a site that is genuine, that doesn’t rely on SEO and that gives Google exactly what they want – fresh, interactive, relevant, un-contrived and popular content that has its own life and natural backlink series.
Damn. Well last week I got my whole Adsense account banned. I had an email last Monday saying that one of my sites didn’t meet their requirements for the Adsense program. They sent me the message that they just sent you. I contacted them and they said that my content was too specifically geared towards certain keywords instead of creating “dynamic, interesting sites with a range of content that appeals to advertisers”.
They then basically said that some bigger companies only want advertising from websites that are diverse in content and not just designed around a few keywords in order to get people to click the ads.
They said that “Adsense code should be added to a content-rich website” and that a site shouldn’t be “a site designed with the sole purpose of attracting lucrative click-throughs in a certain markets.”
They said that my site was “built for Adsense”. I wouldn’t have even minded but they told me this in regards to one of my better sites (ha!).
They then went on to say that they recommend that publishers only add the Adsense code to sites that have at least 40 pages of unique, rich content on a website that has seen “significant activity” for at lest 6 months.
And get this — they then went on to say that they actually prefer publishers to have 500 pages of content (!) and that they reserve the right to remove anyone from the program that has less than their requirements.
I would love to know where in the policy it says anything about 500 pages or even 40 pages!! I can’t find it anywhere.
They said that I had 2 days to sort things out. I then just removed the Adsense code from my site and had an email from them to say that everything was now “satisfactory”.
BUT on Friday I had an email to say that my publisher status has been “terminated”…
I have tried contacting them and they just said that they cannot discuss it and that they will not have any more communication with me regarding the matter. :-O
I swear they make it up as they go along and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. They’ve either got so big that they no longer even know what they’re doing or they’re just really mean. It’s scary stuff because their are people that rely on Google for their main income.
I am guessing that it was a canned message. I know Google has people who manually check and report on sites and maybe someone decided yours looks too much like a “Fake review site” so they sent a canned message. Most of what takes place on G is automated by artificial intelligence or monitored by humans who have no clue what life is outside the “JOB”.
My wife still believes I am better in a 20K/year job with benefits than making 200k/year in my own business because the JOB is “secure”. That’s probably the mentality of the G slaves.
Wow. I guess she hasn’t heard about the MILLIONS of people who lost their “secure” jobs over the last 2-3 years.
Working your own business is definitely the prudent way.
Sigh. This is so daunting to me. I am *determined* to make an online income this year but it always seems like once I find a marketing protocol that might work, something happens and it turns out there’s some problem lying out there in the murk no one knew about.
I read the articles and I found the site. There is *nothing* wrong with anything you did there as far as I can tell. It’s perfectly straightforward and aboveboard; the articles are well-written and you are presenting helpful information to consumers that ask for it. The whole thing is flawless as usual
.
How can it be in violation? I know you didn’t dupe your content from your articles into the site, so it can’t be that.
Depressing…
btw I think the guy up there was talking about how it says 100K Blueprint in your footer. He could be right, maybe Google’s suspicious of them at this point.
yeah I saw that.
I’m really sorry to hear about your Adsense account, Tiffany.
I do want to say for the record as the author of the course, we have always been exceedingly careful to insure we aren’t advocating anything that could get an account banned. In fact, our philosophy – for the course as well as our business – is one of playing within the rules for sustainable for long-term success.
I mentioned in another comment that to the best of my knowledge, we’ve seen only three people lose their account (excluding Tiffany). This is out of thousands & thousands of sites and customers. Of those, one was clearly doing things we specifically advocate against, and one had their account reinstated – the first time I’ve ever seen that happen.
To have so few ‘problems’ given how many people are following the course says quite a bit about the general approach, and actual steps, within the course.
Unfortunately, there are a great number of variables that can contribute to having an account banned, some of which might have nothing to do with a specific individual site. There are over 1 million Adsense publishers, and just some dozens of ‘live’ people doing all of the manual reviews, ‘live’ intervention, etc. People have bad days, mistakes can be made, etc.
My point is that it’s hard to reach a certain conclusion simply from what info Google provides when this happens.
I’d like to make one other comment. While I understand your personal choices in terms of what you choose to pursue for products/business models, many people need specific, narrowly focused efforts due to their particular levels of experience, knowledge, available time, and/or financial constraints.
Michael Ullman
I didn’t lose my account – just this one site was banned. All my other sites were left alone.
Sorry to hear that
. were you using the blue adsense theme? perhaps that is a trigger for google to layith the smackith down.
Also were you using googl analytics as well?
in the end, goofle does what goofle does.
personally I have found that if you give the visitor a good experience for coming, including links to other places (un-cloaked)with adsense in the backdrop that the CTR is actually higher – I know, makes no sense but its true.
plus it helps with ranking.
yes and I wondered that too – it even links to the product in the bottom so maybe they’re looking for that.
Sorry about your site Tiffany. I have had this suspicion when this has happened to you that someone has been secretly trying to sabotage what you are doing. It just doesn’t seem normal that every time you try something new this happens to you. Since you let others know what you are doing isn’t it easy for them to “report it” or whatever if they wanted to?
Just a thought? Maybe be more secretive?
Yeah on a couple of things – Knol and this and blogger I suspect that maybe. YouTube affected tons of people for the same reason.
Well in my years of experience. If you tell it like it is then somebody will try and gun for you. But if you stick to your principles then you will win out in the end.
Hi Tiff
One of the problems of following a course like this is that lots of people start do do it at more or less the same time. The nature of the current IM market is that the majority of sales are around launch time and then tail off with time. The resultant ‘surge’ of similar types of website, regardless of topic and content, leaves a ‘footprint’. This will never happen when you just do your own thing.
John
Boy, Tiffany. I just don’t understand. Google is always preaching original content, original content?
What does “cold cock” mean? In England cock is another word for penis – so does cold cock mean a “small deal”?
Just wondering?
Lauren
lmao cold cock means to knock someone out. But here cock can also mean a chicken or a male part as well
Best comment ever.
Good grief – I didn’t know that Google could close your site down altogether – that’s pretty scary when you think of the number of hours that go into lovingly building a site! And for them to tell you that your content is not original Tiff!! Are the account bans to do with the fact that you are promoting Adwords and they check your site carefully?
Oh no they didn’t shut my site down – they disabled ads to that one site. I didn’t lose my account either – just this one site
Oh I see, not quite so scary as shutting down your site! But still a bit of a shock.
Hi Tiff,
I am sorry to hear about your site being booted.
Google are really twitchy at the moment and they appear to make decisions that don’t make a lot of sense.
My account was banned from Adwords when I put up an advertisement to a landing page. The advertisement did not run and I contacted the support team to ask for help to resolve the issue.
They responded by saying I had repeatedly violated their terms of service, which was impossible as I had not run any ads for over 6 months, and had never had any issues previously.
When I pushed for an explanation and stated that the account was not operating for 6 months, that I did not receive any notifications of any issues, and I contacted them for help. They just said, well, thats our decision, and by the way you are now banned for life.
Again, I was not doing anything that I thought was wrong.
I think I got caught up with the Google cleanout when they were cracking down on Affiliate Marketing.
I did report them to the Australian Consumer Commission for anti-competitive behaviour but the only course of action I had was to take Google to court. Yeah right.
That really is rotten news for you. I wonder if human error figures a lot in the big G’s decisions. After all computers and attached programs and systems haven’t taken over the world as yet – actually in mine it’s pretty close
– They all need someone to input the information at some point and people are not always accurate. Loving your PLR ATM course BTW.
Sorry to hear that Tiff – that sux! I have 2 sites set up using the A100KB method and so far I haven’t had any trouble with either. I also have another site that I bought a domain for then realized the criteria wasn’t good enough – I still set it up for Adsense but using my own WordPress theme – that one is doing ok too.
Having said that, I didn’t follow the course to a T, in being that I got slack and have taken a lot longer working on my sites than what I would have if I’d kept following day by day. So that would be my main difference is my sites have been much slower to build up.
I hope you and Michael can sort this out though, from what Michael says it seems this is quite rare and is possibly something that can be overturned.
Good luck!
Hi Tiff! Sorry, to hear about what happened to your site. I have seen your site and I don’t see what Big “G” is talking about. You always have good and original content. I have seen crappy sites that have other people’s content get high search ranking. It makes me wonder….
Okay someone clue me in on how you guys found my site. LOL!
I found it the first day on your friend feed page. I watch your FF page since my assistant has posted comments on it.
SO I have been watching the site closely to see how it was faring.
Just to be clear, I wasn’t out looking for the site. I just happened to follow one of your links on your FF page.
Here’s how I found your site, Tiffany… you mentioned in a post that your 100K Blueprint site was in the pharmacy niche- you may have even said technician. So, I googled pharmacy technician Tiffany Dow and found several articles you posted under your name to the major article directories. I went to the articles to read them and found the link to your 100K site! Now, I do want to point out that I am not a stalker! I am building 100K sites, too, and wanted to see what yours looked like.
I read on the IJdigital forum tonight that some using the CTR themes for Adsense receive the same notice that you did, Tiffany. And that happened today, also.
And, just so everyone is aware, it is a violation of Google’s TOS to badmouth Google anywhere. So, if Google trolls the forums and reads posts where people are dissing them, don’t be surprised to see related AdSense accounts shut down and websites de-indexed.
Personally, I’m tired of tiptoeing around google. They owe me money right now, and I have no doubt they’ll find a way to screw me out of it before August 24th. I don’t see where anyone is badmouthing google here. People are speaking the truth. I’ve worked over four years to get to where I was making a decent PART-TIME income, and google can destroy it in seconds, for no reason at all, and I have no recourse. Google should not have that kind of power over people, or their businesses. I could really go on a rant here, but I’ll stop now.
I’m not attacking you, Sterling. This was my retirement income, and it’s going down the tubes for no reason, other than goole’s capriciousness. But I will regroup, and this time I won’t be depending on google!
G has ZERO power over anybody and their businesses. They do not destroy businesses. Poor management and business practices destroy businesses.
When each and every publisher (since day 1 of the program) signs up with G, they agree not to sign up with the sole intent of making revenue from the program. In other words, G has always said in ALL their documentation that G is NOT a business model, that is an adjunct to one’s business.
So anyone that depends solely on this income is in contradiction to the TOS. Further, a good business model depends on diversification.
I get tired off people saying they should sue G or that G took them off the first page and ruined their businesses.
REAL business people take responsibility for their own actions and know when they have made a bad decision leading to the demise or downfall of their businesses.
G’s services are free and the customer is the searcher. Every business needs to understand that philosophy. G owes them nothing.
Good thoughts Brendz! I know I was cranky when my site got booted but it only took me less than 24 hours to be appreciative of it
Actually, I had meant to send you a private email last night with my thoughts and recommendations.
I got tied up, though, with a family issue, and by the time I got home and turned on the computer, I fell asleep waiting for it.
But, I just read the post you made this morning and to be honest, I have more respect for you now than ever.
I really like the fact that you reflected over the situation and came to the conclusions you presented.
That is not to say that the pain is any less. I really felt for you because, I have had my own set of trials.
But, I am VERY glad, that you were able to find peace with the decision and move forward so quickly. I find that is the hardest part, just recognizing what went wrong and moving on.
Hi Tiff,
Pretty easy to find your site. I just went to Ezine Articles and called up your bio. Then all your articles are listed.
I agree with what someone else said. Should use a pen name
I see your site is totally down now. Did you delete it?
Rhonda
lol yep!
Darn, I’m so slow off the mark I didn’t even get a look-see at the site – before you took it down.
At least since this sounded like you were very happy with the quality of content writing, it can become another PLR pack for your minimart!
Have you converted the content into PLR packs from of all those WP IPK>F sites that you deleted after being hacked?
That is my new fall-back for investing in writing content – if a site doesn’t work, or I don’t even bother putting it up (as in the case of a dozen IPK’s I never put online), the material becomes PLR content for sale.
Several pages of the site are still indexed, but the links are obviously not live anymore. However, the cached versions are still available to view.
I looked at a cached link and I don’t understand what Google’s issue was in this case.
Hi, Tiff!
How about the bright side: you ranked #6 with
a tough keyword.
All the SEO knowledge you now have should
continue to help you get free targeted traffic.
What did Mike of Adsense $100K Blueprint say
created big G’s No No?
I was impressed by his strategy outlined in
their free Make More Money Report!
Hi, Tiff!
As my husband often says, “Now, don’t that just dunk your hat in the creek?”
Sorry all your hard work is down the drain. Maybe Helene’s suggestion is the best way to go from here.
To hell with them Tiff. Like I said in one of my previous posts, life is too damned short to spend it swinging on Google’s n%#s.
And Honey feels exactly the same way too. Just ask her.
I am so sorry to hear that your site got the boot. It is sometimes hard to figure out where Google is coming from.
You’re in good company, Tiff. Marlon Sanders had the same thing happen to him and he says that Google can take a hike as far as he’s concerned. Sorry that happened to you.
When you got the letter, did it actually reference the domain name? I am assuming that you are sure it was the case study site?
yes
Just my opinion, but I would not have taken the site down. Keep it up so you do not lose your efforts.
All you need to do is remove the G ads and continue to let the site rise in rank. As you find other monetization programs that will fit, add them to the site.
The site has not been banned from the search engine, yet, anyway. I guess that could change. Or did they tell you that they would be deindexing it, too?
Why don’t you take the adsense off and sell it as a content site?
Selling at this point in time is not the ethical thing to do. Unless she openly and clearly discloses that the site has been flagged, as soon as the new owner tries to apply for adsense, she/he is going to be in for trouble. And, that is going to lead to a nasty row with someone, that should never happen to begin with.
And if G follows further and deindexes the site, the new owner has nothing to show for the purchase.
In order to sell the site, something has to be done to counteract the present dilemma. And that takes a bit of time to do.
Aside from Adsense….
Since Google can so easily de-index a website, which can basically destroy a website….maybe, this means that using other search engines to do our searches and using Google less would remove some of their power.
But, that probably won’t happen.
Well, at least something did come from it: You learned a lesson. And thank the Lord that you did because by sharing this I will be able to avoid this mistake…
So thank you.
Jae
Having brought the course I have a little bit of a problem understanding how one ‘follows it to the letter’. I mean one bit says ‘you should choose a subject that interests you or, that you are keen to learn more about but its not neccesary’
I don’t see how you follow that precisely- there’s room for a huge amount of variables in that one sentence- variables that could result in dramatically different content/ results.
I will always defend the a100k course because it was the first thing that opened my eyes to the idea that making money online does not have to be this somewhat seedy, dodgy activity. And that it doesn’t have to involve this hall of mirrors world where ‘internet marketers’ sell their wares to other internet marketers. That it can be a genuine business model.
They have just done an update as well. Though I agree that, ultimately one doesn’t want to rely on it as the only business model.
BUT if someone thinks there will be a model where you don’t depend on the machinations of other companies/ someone else/ then I think that person is kidding themselves.
