No, Not All Affiliate Marketers Are Liars…

After I posted Are All Affiliate Marketers Liars? I realized I hadn't really answered the question I'd posed. I'm a bit frazzled this weekend. Both are cars went in the shop on Friday afternoon, what are the chances of that happening — my wife called me up to say her car wouldn't start, so I headed over to give her a boost and when I got there the brake fluid in my car gushed out courtesy of a ruptured brake line. Then today I checked my AdWords account only to discover that I'd missed the decimal point in one of my bids and was actually bidding $47 instead of $0.47. Ooops. (Note to self: check those decimal points!) So much for the profit on that ad campaign…

But back to the topic at hand. No, I don't think all affiliate marketers are liars. But more than a few fabricate stories and/or stretch the truth in order to get sales. This happens in the brick-and-mortar world, too, so it's nothing new — most sales techniques are very old school, after all. But I don't like to have my name associated with fake stories like the one I showed you.

Anyhow, let's get back to AdSense. Tomorrow or the next day I'll have a review of a PLR membership site and some more discussion of the whole private label rights phenomenon.
