Does this really work?

    I see TONS of sites setup like this:

    You can make TRILLIONS of dollars with my strategy!


    All you need is a new way to look at things. Billions of dollars, power, animal instinct. Make a trillion dollars just like I did. Look at what these people say:

    "I like it" - Joe Blow
    "Works better" - Jane Blow


    Make trillions today!

    =========================================================

    Seriously. Does that crap really work?!? Frankly I think it's the most ignorant and childish looking crap out there. It's so far from making me want to buy your e-book I honestly want to hack your site. BUT! The question is, does it work better than a professional looking site? Are people doing this because it works or they're just stuck on 1994 website design?

    I think custom and professional looking landing pages work better. I personally will never buy from a site that "looks" or even "feels" like one of those types of sites.

    seobook.com does a good job of straying away from the traditional look.

    lol well I'm not talking specifically about the colors I used in the example, just that there's a heavy use of bold, underline, and color tags.

    because there are still people believing in the old days until they finally realize they are not living in those years anymore. it just a matter of time. you get it now or you get it later or you just don't get it.
