One of my best sellers Hydroxycut Recalled

    Darn. I've been promoting Hydroxycut for over a year now and procrastinating a second site with a more targeted keyword.
    I guess I don't have to worry about that now. Weight loss product rarely make a comeback from a recall or bad press.
    Here is the story:

    Basically this makes all banners and landing pages worthless since it is an FDA recall.
    No word from my affiliate Market Health, but I expect an email sometime today.

    Sucks.

    Anyone else expecting to take a hit on this one ?

    Do Diet Pills Really Work? Everyone knows that one of the best ways to lose weight is through proper diet and exercise.

    Of course they do. With proper diet and exercise :)
    There is no magical pill that will make you lose weight without doing anything, but people want to believe that there is, which makes diet pills so popular.

    Just like people want to believe that you can grow your penis, and grow hair with a pill.

    The most popular types of diet pills are appetite suppressants, because many like Hoodia, and Caralluma are from natural plants, and don't contain ephaedra.

    Funny thing about Alli, I'm promoting that as well). If you don't stay on a low fat, or no fat diet, it has the side effect of making you lose control of your bowels.:eek:

    Even funnier, is people know it, and like it even more because they say it keeps them honest.

    No one should just start taking diet pills, you don't know if your body or your heart will react well, you should always consult your Physician before starting any weight loss regiment (I feel like I am building a landing page)

    Hydroxycut was great when it had Ephedra in it. I use to use it a lot back then and was 6% body fat. Ya sucks they recalled it but if it is having that kind of effect on people better off then. Don't like seeing people suffer for trying to make their selves better. :D

    Oh, of course I agree. I'm just wondering why now ? I mean hydroxycut has sold millions of bottles since it hit the market, and the TV commercials have been relentless, which really helped out a lot.

    Seems like an isolated incident after all this time and no problems, but it is better to be safe.

    Sad to see it go, but at least I didn't renew the domains :). That product has been good to me. I wish them nothing but luck, but even sadder for the people that had a bad reaction.
