Bad name for Indians in affiliate marketing industry :(

    I read this article, which I really did not enjoy much. Looks like I should move from India to USA soon...

    Indians are the brain boxes for today's major technology, esp there is no match for south indian brain worldwide... a strong culture and a capability to work hard... Indians rock the world today...

    But all these get blurred due to few people (mentioned in this article)... Thats because people can see only bad things more than good things.. :(

    This is sad. But this is real. I have seen that people do this. If you go to scriptlance and other cheap freelance sites you can see that is given here.

    yea, its allover scriptlance and freelancer websites for filling out forms. and just costs merchants so much money, that it can lead to the lowering of payouts on many of these lead forms.

    I have to accept a truth here.

    I did those form filling works ,but that was when I first entered online biz and when I had no idea that it is illegal.

    But now I am out of those things as I learn more about the work involved in real affiliate marketing. Now I joined PPC-Coach program to learn some affiliate marketing. Hope to get more knowledge there.

    On my view, at first people do this on ignorance. But when they are clear on what happens when they do this, some quit doing but some still continue to do.

    But I don't accept that only Indians do this. There are SCAMers all around the world.:(

    Yes indeed. PPC-Coach teaches the cleaner/better ways to do things to your good.

    Anyway, I personally think articles like this should not be capitalized - as they show flaws of a few people - but tend to generalise the data. Weak article.

    One rotten apple does not spoil the whole bunch but this is something people do not understand as most people are followers. You can't do much in this case but just carry on your good work, Don't let such things affect you.

    Yes many indians don't know what they are doing only because they are not exposed to the whole system. They are just given a small tutorial and they do as it states. And by the way India is no where in that world scammers list. It's rather United states topping the charts.

    mis-generalised on Indians alone... maybe the writer had a conflict with an Indian, recently...

    I think this awareness article will do more bad than good, and has probably already given many here ideas... I have outsourced to india before with legit work, and got great quality. However I've had bad experiences too... Agreed that it's mis-generalized and the technique could have been articulated with many scenarios or ethnicities...

    Well, I know couple good Indians and I'm glad I know them, but as in any big country, there are good and bad sides.

    Absolutely correct. But more than anything else the need for indian people has increased in the past decade not only for adequate prices but hard work also. Indians are one of the most smartest people you can ever come across on this planet.

    why india is indicted?
    ppl doing it from all over the world..

    even mexicans i saw and indonesians and pakistanis

    i m not against any country.. and will never be..

    it the fault of the person who are buying such low souls..

    i mean who are offering get get 20cent per signup or $1 per signup in open forums and freelance sites (many from USA)

    its not the fault of the ppls who are completing the offers with fake name id phone etc..

    money is money even its $1

    and even in USA u can see some ppl are not getting work and food.. and living a beggers life.. just say them i will give u $1 can u signup with a false phone number?|?? they will say i need food by baby is crying.. yes i will do it..

    poor ppl and poor souls are everywhere in earth..

    india is no different..
