The Death of Internet Affiliate Marketing

Stayed tuned.

New Information on the FTC next move on affiliate marketing and this is huge.

They have already had test cases and from my sources they are gearing up for the ‘big kill’ this season.

My advice.

Re-read the FTC links already posted in this blog and make sure you are following everyone of them.

(FTC internet rules)

I will post more as I get valid information, but be ready for a slap that makes the Google slap and Merchant account slap of 2009 look like child’s play

What I do know is this will affect ad platforms, affiliate networks, publishers and advertisers.

I called the last 3 changes 6 months in advance.

Lets hope we have that much time this time.

Oh, and one last thing.

Re-Read your RICO act and anti-trust law. Make sure you understand them.

‘trust no one’

p.s. for those complaining I am not giving sources.  Your choice. You can ignore the warning & links I do give and wait tell it “rains”

Your choice. I am just here to help in a way I would want others to help me. If, you don’t like it. Then ignore it.

btw. IF you do not have the FTC on RSS feed. You may want to consider it, as well as, a few internet lawyers who are on top of this sort of thing. As any good lawyer will tell you. “The law does not accept ‘ignorance’ as an acceptable excuse.”

Know the rules of the “game” you play and the “masters” OR pay the price. And NO, this is not an endorsement.

Breaking News – Google gets Google Slapped

by the Texas Attorney General.

The AT of Texas has opened up an anti-trust investigation on How Google ranks its search engine results.

They do not believe Google is neutral and not lowering the rankings of their competitors.

Finally! Some-one has the balls to question if Google is a Monopoly or if they have at the least gone to far.

Oh, And this isn’t the little guy this is ‘dissing’ Yahoo/Bing and the government is concerned on how they are playing with each other.

Maybe now, We will find out what Quality Scores are really based on?!

I can not tell you how happy this makes me

Trust No One, Including me.

Did I call it ? or did I CALL it !!!

Well ppc.bz broke the news.

“FTC to Announce Action Against Internet Marketers of Acai Berry Weight-Loss Pills and “Colon Cleansers”

BUT!

I told you days ago and months ago. What to do.

Know the TOS of your network, traffic & offers, know the Laws of Trade in your country and the ones you deal with, sell a real product with real value and know the history of your industry and others with regards to the gov.

Since, If the gov. slap you.

A Google slap will be the least of your worries.

Funny thing is (or not so funny) I remember last year before ASE is when Google did their big slap and their #1 targets besides ringtones was ACAI and COLON CLEANSE!

History repeats itself.

Now, go read some Claude Hopkins and start telling the truth.

You may not get the customers at first since everyone seems to like the “shinies”

BUT!

You will get the smart ones 1st and the ones who got burned. And that is a big piece of the pie.

Who wants the idiots that keep buying into scams again and again?

Oh!

Right !

The parasites that feed off of them for their income.

(sad how many of them their are)

I warned you before and I will post as the new laws unfold.

This is NOT new and The President even warned earlier this year.

“Sell crap and and we are gunning for you. Sell valid products and services. We are behind you”

It will only get worse for the criminals.

For the public. A new day is dawning on consumer law.

Lets hope this time they read the disclaimers.
