Hey, uh....I'm not sure that paypal page is legit; first time I've ever seen that format before, and the url is paydotcom. I was gonna order it cuz i'm a poor loser but now.......a little leery. Maybe that's why the site is down?
PayDotCom.com is the affiliate management system integrated with paypal account. I believe the owner use this system for marketing purposes. Btw, http://www.youreapoorloser.com/affiliates.htm OMG.
He'll get some backlinks and a couple people will buy the book out of curiosity. It'll pay off the registration fee, haha but great idea.
REVIEW Well, i had some extra money in my Paypal account from selling eBooks myself and thought i would send this guy $7 for the creative landing page. After clicking the "ORDER NOW" at the bottom of the page you are lead to a Paydotcom.com payment processing page. They ask for your name, address and some other things before they lead you to Paypal.com to make payment. Basically what you get is access to a membership site with different categories in it. There are about 9 or 10 different categories with vague tips and ideas on how to make money online. There were a couple of ideas i haven't heard/thought of, but overall a lot of the stuff going around on the forums. Overall: Its not a scam, but definitely not for the intermediate or advanced marketer (and not really sure if it would be for the newbie either, considering there is no in-depth tutorials)
Thanks for the review, amedia! I was wondering as well what the deal with the payment gateway was. Very funny stuff, regardless.
