Is anyone else familiar with brad fallons "the coolest guy on the planet" thing? I realize it is old news, but i am gonna go for the title.
He's one of the guys who raked it in selling STOMPER subscriptions at $800 a pop. Their methods were/are well thought out. But their boasting has not exactly set the World on Fire. Many of their old sites that were doing so well are not doing so well now. But who cares? They made their big money in their 15 minutes. Like every "guru" like them the moment is seized then they have to see if they can repeat it. Once information becomes public, it doesn't really mean much. A secret is only a "secret" if kept quiet. They were not teaching Blackhat, but their methods are something anyone could do if they simply broke things down and thought about it. And most of it had/has to do with gaining solid incoming links. I hope you make a lot of money with that keyword phrase. FYI: "http://www.myweddingfavors.com/" was his partners business and the main example they used. It's a legitimate business, but they are now using Adwords to buy traffic just like the rest of the business world. I personally think they are pretty good guys and pretty good teachers. They are very analytical and know how to outsource and delegate.
This thread is on the first page of gword for "coolest guy on the planet", at least in my index. Thats crazy.
