   Thank you Gabriel for being an honest marketer and telling it like it is instead of what all these other “gurus” are saying just to pad their bank accounts. I have purchased Andrew Fox products before and without exception they were big disappopintments. (That Adsense Domination product was the biggest joke on the planet!). So I klnow now that anytime I see his name on a product to stay far away from it. Gabriel, you say Andrew is a great marketer. Well he must be to get people to buy the junk he sells.

   Gabriel,

   Thank you for saving me $97
   I was not real sure about this product from the start.
   I’m glad you spoke out.

   Thank You for having the courage and telling it like it is!
   Most marketers would never say nothing, all they want is to fill their pockets full.

   Please keep informing us on future products it really does help us all God Bless You+

   I haven’t got the product – and probably wouldn’t have anyway, but it was refreshing to read your expose of it – especially the bit about ‘proof’ in the form of earnings statistics. People want HOW it was done, not the results the author got. Such self gratification is a waste of the pages people have paid good money for and of their efforts in trying to understand. Nice job!

   Gabriel,

   How refreshing to read an HONEST review of a product. I too was going to purchase Dominating Clickbank (especially since I had a great bonus offered to me if I ordered through another marketer’s link) but now I’m going to use my hard earned $97.00 and invest it into my websites in a different way.

   The internet marketing niche is overcrowded with people who hype the latest and “greatest” thing without actually using, reading, or watching them. Trust me, I’ve spent hundreds of $$$ on products designed to make me more money on the internet but most of them have been pure crap. Just once I’d like to buy a script that I don’t have to tweak just to get it to work right.

   Thanks again for your candor. You just became one of my favorite “gurus”. God bless you Gabriel!

   Thank You,
   I also expected some sales pitch from your review.
   I was surprised to see you tell the same thoughts
   I had for this product. Why dont you create your
   own CB/Adwords success course in detail for us,your
   subscribers? I think you would do well in this.
   Thanks,

   Thank you Gabriel. A wise person once said “A penny saved is a penny earned”. In which case you just earned me a whole heap of pennies with your honest review.
   It is (as has been said) refreshing to see someone actually protecting their subscribers from flawed products as you have done, and not just grabbing at the affiliate fees. I am pruning the number of email lists I belong to, guess whose list is at the top of the stay subscribed pile?
   Thanks again Gabriel, I hope to work with you sometime in the future.

    Hi Gabriel,

    All I have to say about your review is “AWESOME”. This is the first time I have seen another marketer joust another.

    Seldom does anyone standup when a marketers takes advantage of another.

    Your curagious act of calling BS has, in my opinion, put you above many other marketers. You values are respectful, and your honesty tells the story of Gabriel Aguinaga.

    As for the author of the product, and the marketer’s who helped market the product, well, we now know their story as well.

    Great Job Gabriel – I for one am tired of being hyped and took on so called products that work. So much so that I have stopped purchasing products.

    Again, great job! You are to be commended.

    Dennis

    Thanks Gabriel,

    when I received your email, I first thought what trick is coming this time (not experienced with you, but many others).

    A very pleasent experience to find you honestly giving me a true review of this product. I hesitated yesterday to buy it because I bought already too many ebooks promissing too much. Every newbie must have thought that this is the real chance for him/her. Your review removed my last doubts about buying these videos.

    Thank you again, and I think someone with your experience and knowledge should initiate a blog or forum where everyone could exchange views and experiences with one another on any product. I would appreciate such a step very much and I would also contribute my experiences which are really not in favour of many so called gurus. Also good experiences would be very welcome in my eyes.

    Heads up,
    Juergen

    Judging by the response to Gabriels review, its easy to discern that speaking the truth is rather unique in the field of Internet Marketing, which goes to show what a minefield of deception clouds the web.

    Is it a coincidance that most of these guru’s are into hypnotism? That is, the manipulation of peoples minds by whipping up their internal desires and mental images inorder to get them to get their credit card out.

    Well done Gabriel, but what a sorry state we are in if such a stand taken is viewed as being unique!

    Best Regards

    Hi Gabriel,

    Thanks for the full and frank review. It is refreshing to see a person undertake an unbias review of a product.

    I think that you have not only raised your own credibility in the eyes of your subscribers, but that you will make many more friends than enemies of others who read your reviews.

    Keep up the good work.

    Regards,
    Jeff.

    Thanks Gabriel,

    It’s funny, a few days ago I made a post on my blog entitled “Nobody Tells You The Truth No More” I too when I saw your email thought is this another email with a reverse twist. Thanks for calling a spade a spade. There are too many “I’ll kiss your ass if you kiss my ass” marketers out there.

    People, making money on the net is real simple. There is no “secret”. To dehype all the crap that floods my email whenever a new “system” arrives in my inbox such as “10 ways to get rich on clickbank” I replace that with “10 baldmonkey ways to get rich on clickbank”. The baldmonkey part defuses the hype. Such as 49 moneymaking baldmonkey templates. The Rich Baldmonkey. Baldmonkey Marketing. The Ultimate Baldmonkey Traffic Videos. Sooo…..there is no “secret” to making money on the net. Use the same principles that have worked the last 6,000 years. Buy low, sell high. Find/create a source for a product(s) that people want and advertise it. There is nothing “secret” about it. I’ve been doing it for 23 years strong. On and off the net. Advertising is advertising. The net is simply another medium.

    Find/create a product that people want, find a cheap source for the product or have it created cheaply, advertise it for anywhere from 2 times to 100 times your cost, ship the orders, deposit the money. Rinse. Repeat. Simple. There are no “secrets”. There is work. And I have found that 99.9% of the people do not want to work for success. They want to be hand fed from a golden plate of grapes. They don’t want to build multiple orchards.

    The simplest way to success?? Follow the free advice I was given a long time ago by a multi-millionaire. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. The wheel has been made already. Just find someone or a company that is already successful, locate a source for that identical product they are selling or have a similar product produced, then advertise it to death. So simple, yet so many pay and pay and pay for crap over and over again.

    I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes. I met Melvin Powers in 1981 and that one on one hour long meeting in his office changed my life.

    “People in general aren’t willing to do what it takes to be successful today, so that leaves big opportunities for those who are willing to work.” -Melvin Powers

    Once again gabriel comes up trumps – the first honest review of the latest must have mega hpyed and overpromoted product.

    Gurus take note – your days are numbered – once again all the big names jumped to cash in out of OUR pockets for a product that is not worth the price.

    The future will be honest traders like gabriel. Im glad I went with my gut instinct and decided to not to buy this. Gabriels review just helps justify my decision.

    Thanks again Gabriel.

    I wonder if we should start looking for labels of what’s included and what is required to buy from the package being sold. Too many times it appears we are buying advertising and not finished goods.

    Damn. AF has been ripped a new one here.

    I’m not recommending nor am I trashing “dominating” but I know there is some good in practically everything.

    Presentation and promotion of DCb is a lesson in and of itself. Go to school on this one folks. Watch, listen and learn.

    I’ve seen the course and most of it is found elsewhere -
    One video however, “Clickbank Swap and Double Profit Method” – highly intriguing.

    Remember – practice scholarship,
    Scott

    Reply By Gabriel:

    Hi Scott,

    Im afraind I’ll have to disagree with you on the “Clickbank Swap and Double Profit Method”. First of all, the video is 12 minutes long and it goes into the real part of the video after 5 minutes. Again, the stuff he goes over “does” work but it in my opinion the info is “How to Get a JV Deal 101″. one of the things he mentions (which is common sense) is… To Show PROOF to your potential JV partners & establish yourself as an expert… which brings me back to my point… how can a newbie marketer show PROOF & establish himself as an expert (especially with a resell rights product)?

    I do agree with you that the promotion itself was worth studying; but charging $97 for that info is not cool in my book.

    Gabriel,

    You don’t no how refreshing it it to hear something that is contrary to popular opinion, especially when it comes to internet marketing.

    I’m sure you could have promoted the product to your list just like all the other so called “Gurus” and made a quick buck. But the fact that you chose not to speaks volumes.

    I seriously wonder how many of the Gurus promoting to their lists actually took the time out to look over and review the product as you did.

    It’s about time someone spoke the truth.

    Gurus take notice.

    Awesome job dude!

    I agree – this is not worth the money, and it’s just riding on the coat-tails of Project X, which is excellent! It’s all very well showing you all the money you can make – it’s all very well if you’re a well-known Internet guru. Joe public newbie hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in hell!

    I’ve bought Fox’s products before – been drawn in and parted with my hard-earned – his adsense program was crap, but I paid about $300 for it. NOT WORTH IT! Neither is this – but get it anyway to fulfil your curiosity. Then send it back once you realise there’s nothing new on it!!!

    Don’t like the sound of the methods either (‘affiliate hunter’) – sounds like another coat-tail ride on Project X/Adwords Miracle’s cool sounding names for methods.

    Hi Gabriel,

    So much (98%) of the marketing I see nowadays reminds me of Amway in the early 80′s. The gurus (Diamonds) back then were 100 times more interested in their book and tape sales in the rear of the convention center racking up $300,000+ in cash (about $600,000 in todays money) sales in 4 hours than in selling a high quality product to begin with.

    When you reach that point it’s mighty hard to say no to the suitcases full of cash that can come rolling in in just one afternoon. Multiply that weekend by 52 and you will soon see why the gurus love the book and tape stuff 100 times more than selling an honest product.

    Show me one IM Guru that has been selling his high quality product for the last 10 years steadily. There’s not one. All flash in the pans, Johnny Come Lately’s that interbreed with each other to soak the masses. Reminds me of the Wild West days when traveling salesmen would sell a 5 cent bottle of sugar water laced with a bit of alcohol for $1 to the townsfolk. That bottle cured anything and everything for just one dollar. Hit that town up for $100 then move on until the next traveling salesman came to town to do the whole thing again.

    I have not seen the videos so I will not offer an opinion on them. Basically from the posts what is being offered is several videos totaling one hour being sold for $97. Not a bad gig if you can get it. Let’s say you end up selling 500 videos @ $97 each. You just did roughly $50,000 in sales lets say. Minus CB fees and affiliate fees and JV fees. Let’s say you clear $25,000. Minus refunds. Let’s say 10% to be nice. 25K -2.5K refunds. Still you have 20K plus profit for a simple one hour camtasia video. Still not a bad gig if you can get it. Plus you have a list of 500+ hot buyers for future $997 backend sales. I do salute his entrepreneur spirit and even I would put up with flack and negativity and refunds for $20K. Some will find his videos great and some will find them not so great.

    The point to remember is this. As in my post above. He created a product himself at extremely low cost, virtually no cost except for his recording software and website rental. He marked that product up 97 times his cost of say $1. When you sell a product for 97 times your cost you have a lot of room for mistakes, errors and advertising. JV ads cost him nothing except whatever his split is. So, again, we have someone that copied success, created a product of his own and advertised the heck out of it. I can salute that part for sure. He did what 99.9% of the people are unwilling to do. He got up to home base and took a swing at a ball going 100MPH while 99.9 % sit in the stands critiquing the players. I am not defending him or his video. All I’m saying is he did have the balls to walk up to home plate and tried to hit a 100mph ball. He does have my salute for that. Most people won’t even get that far to make a video and try to market it to good and bad reactions.

    That said, I still would prefer to market a very high quality video/ebook/report/MP3 that 90-95% of the buyers are happy with and the buyers learn at least one thing new from it. Who’s to say the one thing a person learns from a new video is the very thing that catapults him/her into the type that takes action instead of the type that buys and buys and buys and never takes action.

    The thing that will never stop amazing me is two people, both with the exact amount of capital, given the exact same opportunity, one will ride that opportunity for millions and the other will come away making $50 from it or perhaps even lose money at it. Was the opportunity poor or the persons actions?

    Hi Gabriel,

    I have to congratulate you for stepping up to the plate and calling it the way you see it.

    After purchasing Secret Affiliate Weapon and Affiliate Project X (which IMHO are excellent), I was curious to see what ‘Foxy’ was up to with his project. I had no intention of buying but I wanted to study his project launch methods.

    I learned a whole lot my friend. The IM field has not really changed so much from when I started as an affiliate marketer back in 2001. When I left the scene in early 2003, hype marketing over this guru or that guru being involved in this program or another was incredible. Fast forward to today, its product launch hype. What I find even more incredible is that a number of well known names promote the product to their list like its the greatest thing since microwave meals. No originality whatsoever. As I reviewed my inbox, there were several messages promoting ‘Dominating CB’ with the same headline, same blah, blah, blah. When I saw yours, I said “ah, a takeaway!” (note: I’m thinking that IM product buyers have seen the takeaway too much now – time to do something else)
    Was I surprised!

    Your post reinforced the following: (1) just because you can make money on something, doesn’t mean YOU have to be the one to do it; and (2) produce quality products – make your freebie good enough to be an entry level paid product; make your entry level paid product good enough to be a mid range priced product; etc. My opinion of you as a marketer has skyrocketed and along with it, your credibility has increased a thousand fold.

    That being said, I hope this product doesn’t cause any long term damage to Andrew’s business. I have purchased from him in the past and was pleased. He is an excellent marketer and I hope he will learn something valuable from this.

    Take care Gabriel. God Bless you

    Ray

    P.S. I’m in the middle of creating my 1st product – a 7 day mini e-course. When I finish it, I would appreciate it if I could send it to you for your honest review [that is if you have the time].

    Gabriel, over that time I have been trying to find my place here on the net I have often seen articles written by you and products you either sold yourself or were an affiliate for….I really do appreciate your honesty and sincerity re Dominating Click Bank. I myself could not afford either DCB or Adwords Miracle at present; you see there are those of us who truly are ‘Casse’, ‘Broke’, and without funds for anything but the necessities of life. When I am able to buy the software I want I will probably find out what you think about it if you have heard of it.

    Hey Gabriel,
    You wont have made many “guru” friends with your post but at least you tell it like it is! Over this last year I have noticed that the whole internet marketing industry has in the main been going down the path of passing of a barely passable product as a quality product. There is a big, big difference between the two! I can count on one hand the people I will buy marketing related internet products from. I have been making a full time living from CB affiliate marketing for just over a year and I have been through the lot. I can tell you the products that have helped me most are Adwords Miracle and the recently launched Affiliate Project X. Why? Because they are BS free zones with quality info. At the end of the day that’s what we are all looking for. Dare I say it, that’s also what we are all entitled to if we hand over our hard earned cash! Get wise folks, try and find some unbiased opinions from others before you jump in with both feet! The worse thing you can do is fall for the slick sales letter!

    Cheers,
    Martin

    Wow Gabriel … you are a breath of fresh air. I’ve grown so sick of the club of gurus touting each other’s product as something we can’t continue to live without. It is difficult to figure out what is really valuable or not. No one dares to speak out anything negative as that seems to violate some sacred bond. I will now make sure I read all the emails you send my way – it’s the least I can do for your honesty and courage. Way to go!!! Best wishes … Stan

    Man, Dominating CB is pathetic! One of the videos still isn’t online and two of the bonuses won’t download properly.
    So anyone can have glitches, I’ll grant, but if the level of professionalism of our dear Mr. Fox is anything to go by on the launch and provision of his new product. Hmm. Do I need to spell it out, I wonder?

    Misato 4 November 2006 at 1:57 am Permalink

    Hello Gabriel,
    I also like the honesty you display. I also like to consider myself one of the honest ones out there, but you gotta watch out. It’s like they say, “no good deed goes unpunished”, and in
    the internet marketing field, a lot of people will take more offense at your honesty than at another marketer’s dishonesty.

    Hard to believe but it’s true. I guess being honest on your own website won’t get you too much flak.

    If you were to post this at say the Warrior’s forum or some other IM forum, instead of a “thanks for warning me about that Gabriel”, you would get severly trounced by as if you were the one who was a lyin, cheat.

    I’ve seen it happen too often with others who try to be honest also. Go figure.

    Anyways, I am glad I am one of your subscribers. Good luck in all of your IM efforts. ;D

    Wow. Its as if Gabe parted the Red Sea or something.
    Is an honest critique of a product that amazing?
    As Robert said, how sad that this has to be viewed so gushingly.
    Gabe will get trounched in some circles sure. And sure it took some guts. But he’s still a fledging “guru”.
    Lets see if he gets to the rarified heights of a Kern or Reese, if he’d still do the same.
    Kern and Reese didn’t promote the course obviously anyway. Too beneath them.
    It was the middle level “guru’s” who still need the money, who promoted it.
    And shame on them.
    Still, I give you kudos for your review.
    Personally, I think its a list killer to promote garabage anyway.
    So they make a few bucks now and then most of their list will never buy nething they ever promote again?
    So the opposite must be true, as shown here.
    Speak the truth and its a list breath of life.
    Everybody if you have a list read the above sentence again and again.

    Your review just confirm what I’ve suspected.

    I have purchased a few of Andrew’s products (Adsense Mastery and one of his membership site) in the past and sad to say, I am not impress with any of them so farl. The only thing I am impressed so far are his sales letters and his ability to gather so many heavy hitters as his affiliates.

    So even though I did not get a chance to review Dominate CB product, I decided not to purchase it based on my previous experience.

    Wow. Its as if Gabe parted the Red Sea or something.
    Is an honest critique of a product that amazing?

    No, not at all, but you know what the gurus are like – as soon as one of them producces something ‘new’ they all rush out hypinga nd promoting it – to squeeze as much out of US as possible, and like idiots we fall for it! It is unusual that a guru is hitting out against it BUT – and sorry for the cynicism here BUT the negative review is just another attention drawing, hype technique that uses reverse psychology to build trust. You can bet your bottom dollar you’llbe seeing more of it. Gabriel no doubt copied Ewen Chia and his review pf Project X.

    I’ve finally managed to get to watch that last video and I’m really annoyed that all the program is, is a rehash of STUFF WE’VEALL HEARD BEFORE! A year or so ago, if you put the word ‘underground’ in a sales letter everyone was wowed into believing it was going to reveal something amazing – a secret we’ve all missed. Fox uses it – his ‘underground’ techniques. My arse! Press releases, ezine advertising and listing your affiliate program in a directory – YES! Very ‘underground’!

    It’s a wonder he hasn’t worked this year’s buzz word ‘black hat’ (or ‘black HUT’ if you happen to be called Cody Moya – LOL!) into his cheesy videos!

    WE’VE ALL BEEN HAD! Pity most of us (not the giys on here thankfully) are so blinded by the hype, we think we’re getting something special.

    I imagine people who do try Diminating Clickbank, especially newbies are going to get their fingers burned and lose a lot of cash – isn’t hat everyone’s initiation into Internet marketing? See how ‘easy’ it is, try it, fail, and end up licking your wounds.

    OK, so who’ll be the next guru witha negative review on a new launch on his blog, then? Place your bets! (My money’s on Rasumussendssussenden!)

    If, before your next purchase, you remember that 95% of the stuff on CB is regurgitated pablum mush you will be just fine. If you buy something like that simply request a refund from CB. They will refund your money even if you tell them your psychic cat did not like the material. Case closed. The seller will learn fast if his refund rate skyrockets. If you purchase something and just one idea that took 15 seconds to explain to you in the video saves you $500 or makes you $500 then buying $97 of regurgitated mush was worth it. Much less if it makes you more than $500.

    I can create the worlds best product ever in CB’s history, have a gravity of 1000 and still get 10% refunds! 10 out of 100 people will think my CB shattering info sucked the big wazoo. Nothing you can do about it. If you spoke to those 10% of those 5,000 CB sales (500 people) those 500 would slam my product so hard to make even CB veterans run for cover.

    Those 500 would swear up and down I ripped them off and my info was crap to say the least. Even though it broke CB’s all time sales record.

    There are people in this world I could give £10,000 to and their next statement would be “Is that all?” Was the amount I gave wrong or was their attitude effed up?

    Once again, I am not defending his DCB videos or him, all I am saying to anyone is not to be so quick to burn anyone at the stake just because someone else cried “witch”. Until you get up to homeplate, look the pitcher in the eyes, and take a swing at a ball going 100mph 6 inches from your face then you don’t know what it’s like to try. I personally would rather buy a video from a 6 year kid on how to make playdough castles than listen to a 30 year old describing in detail his grandiose future plans for the perfect selling video.

    Could I sell a bottle of 5 cents sugar water for $1 to people. No.
    Do I study the marketing method used to sell that bottle for a dollar? Yes. Do I know for 100% certainty that someones ills were not cured by a placebo effect from that sugar water? No.
    Will there be folks that swear by that sugar water? Yes. Will there be folks that feel they have been had? Yes. Which crowd is correct and which crowd is wrong? I’ll let you decide.

    Create 10 new products, get them listed on CB and adwords, then you won’t have much time to discuss other players and their videos.

    The doers do and the critiquers critique.

    Hey Gabriel,

    I think you’ve made more friends than enemies with your honesty. The internet marketing scene is suffering from an extreme case of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ syndrome and high time someone called all these self-styled ‘guru’s’ up on it. Thanks so much for stepping up and speaking candidly instead of jumping on the greed bandwagon like so many other marketers.

    My inbox has been flooded with emails flogging this product – some from better known marketers. I doubt that most have actually watched the videos or are sincere when they lavish praise over it so excessively. Just look at the emails and you’ll see the similarities – most marketers don’t even bother to change the ‘standard issue affiliate emails’ they product creator gives them.

    So many times I’ve fallen for the hype and bought way too much stuff – a lot of it not worth anywhere near what I paid. I could count the number of truly honest and objective internet marketing product reviews on one hand.

    I’m sure you saved a bunch of folks some cash and heartache!

    Gabriel,

    I have my own secret list of select sellers I will buy from, and you’ve just joined them. I won’t even open an email from anyone who is not on that list!!

    Currently, there’s too much evidence of a pervasive notion that in the internet marketing world anything will sell… talk about how much you’ve earned, some screen shots, make sure it’s audio (a video presentation is even better) and presto!! you’ve got a package newbies will drool over. What arrogance!!

    Well, I sort of know what Vladimir is talking about, but I don’t think that that automatically means that Gabriel is just another deceitful internet marketer using reverse physcology. I got the impression that his review was genuine.

    He is also taking somewhat of a risk by giving a negative review (even if it is honest), because of the backlash that a lot of other IMers in the so called ‘inner circle’ will probably end up giving him.

    Ewen Chia can get away with it because he is a fellow ‘inner circle’ member, so anything he says, negative or positive, will be praised.

    I don’t know how well known Gabriel is, but I get the impression that he probably doesn’t get to enjoy the same kind of immunity that others like Chia, Reese or Filesame do.

    You generally have to be one of the ‘heavy hitters’ before you can say anything you want.

    I kind of compare it to Bobby Knight and the baskeball profession. When he was coaching for Indiana and had a pretty long winning streak, everybody put up with his comments and tantrums. Now that he coaches for Texas and doesn’t win games at all like he used to, not many put up with his antics anymore. ;D

    It’s the same with internet marketing.

    So not only do I think Gabriel’s review is sincere, but I also admire his guts for at least trying to be honest in a dog eat dog field where honest usually doesn’t count for much.

    A terrific job, Gabriel! You have just shot into my ‘Top Programs’ folder and I will be on the lookout for your new postings. This, after ‘downsizing’ BIG TIME, the letters I’ve been signed up for, for months or even YEARS. Yes, I have been a’trimming for about one month now, and some were ‘big dogs’ that the newsletters go back to 2000. I am sick sick sick of it all, quite frankly.

    I see names here that I respect greatly. At least one (hi Stuart) has been on the war party of Anti-GooRoo stuff and that’s why he’s been in my Top Programs folder for a long time. And Dr. Mani, thank you and I SOOoo agree. And some new names who I intend to seek out and subscribe. I just did a huge ROFL with Laurie’s (laurie-the-traveler.com) Baldmonkey System. LOL!!! Okay, a tool I can use!!! Thanks Laurie… this will be action #1 for me, for every offer, going forward! Find and Replace: * with BaldMonkey!

    Gabriel, truly, you’ve taken a strong stand. Stand firm. I am sure you will get some flackback from GooRoos. But you can bet I will be studying all your news from here on out, with a newly opened eye. Keep up the great work.

    Hey Gabriel, I was offered this product many times. you see I receive a lot of emails from various Internet gurus, and most of them offered them, you are the only one who didn’t try to sell me on anything but educate me and sell me on what you believe to be good.
    We all thank you for that when I see your email in my inbox I know is going to be something great and worthy of consideration.
    Keep up the great work, in the end people like you will survive the trends because you ad value to other people’s lives

    To your success,

    It’s about time some had the ovaries to take on a guru. You probably will be blocked from the Warriors Forum. We should all be doing this every time we buy a program from some supposed guru that has testimonials from 20 other stooges telling us they made $10K in 10 days. Keep up the good work. Wonder if ‘DontGetBilked.com, is available for the forum.

    Hey Gabriel!

    Maybe you’re a reincarnation of the arch angel to take revenge on all the gurus, hehehe. (joking!)

    It’s great to see such an honest review that is obviously going against the grain, and may put off some marketers. It takes courage to do so, and it’s great. I think that it’s a tendency that willl become stonger, that ever more people will realize where are the REALLY helpful people and listen to THEM instead of big sales hype.
    Can you imagine how many opt outs their lists have? I’d really like to know. I have only *1* opt out so far. That rocks.

    Keep up the good work!
