    yeah. those are called mini-sites. if you're really curious you can try it and ask for a refund. don't ask immediately though.

    refunds are quite a problem with IMers, because there're quite a few people who buy and immediately ask for a refund. IMers (the genuine ones) policy is to honor every refund request.

    Do you have to explain why you want a refund?

    ive heard that the long sales copy pages work best with americans, as us europeans arent used to that sort of thing, and see it as scammy, or too much (I know I do, but then we know im not the target)...somethin to think about if you are going global!

    Have you been burned by those MBGs, Bender?

    I've gotten a refund from those I've bought before. So far so good, I haven't
    gotten stung.

    Some do, some don't. You take your chances.

    Long sales copy works, it's universal.

    It wont work on you if you are not in the market that it caters to.

    It wont work if it's over-hypey.

    It wont work if you think it it doesn't work.

    I'm based in the UK, have several long copy sites selling single products to the UK market and each and everyone outperforms previous attempts at selling the same products using shorter copy.

    I love those cheesy sales letters, they ALL look the same!? They must hire the same design guy, he must be making a fortune!

    I thought I would write a little spoof, here :)

    But seriously though, what are they all selling anyway? Just recycled Adsense and SEO advice, I'm guessing.

    Thanks :).

    Thing is, if I hadn't said it was a spoof, you probably wouldn't have read it to the end, ha!
