mostly a rant on how he got ripped off

don't pay by western union
OTHER ways to make money
use egold
use high yield investment programs hyipdiscussion.com
That's pretty much it. I tried several suggested techniques and lost
several hundred dollars and over 200 hours of time. I asked for a
refund, got an email back asking which techniques I used that didn't
work(a good way to reduce refunds). Rather than list them, I did a
charge back.
Overall the book is written as if the author had been drinking and was
spewing out whatever popped into his little head. Very poor
organization, and worse than useless because of the time and effort
wasted.
Marc Harty has something he calls a Traffic Coop, where he claims that you buy targeted traffic. He says it is not exit traffic. "Right now, I just want to learn more about how I can get 50,000 high-quality, highly targeted, ready-to-buy REAL PROSPECTS to my website without doing a thing except telling you how many I want today."
How does he know that there are 50K visitors interested in my site?
Mark Widawer - Landing Page Cash Machine e-book. Sells Joel Comm's templates as well. He says: "Popunders are also separate windows. Anything that opens in a new window can be blocked by a popup blocker.
That’s why I don’t use them.
I use popovers, which are actually DHTML layers that appear over the page. They can’t be blocked by blockers at all, and are allowed by Google."
His Quicklaunch product:
People usually buy my time for $300 per hour, and my clients invest in me because of the tremendous value I bring to them. So QuickLaunch is an illogical steal by comparison.
You'll get me, alone, for 30 minutes, concentrating just on you, your business, your website, and your marketing. And you'll get all of this at the ridiculously low price of just $47.
In other words, a more targeted, well-qualified buyer should cost
you less on Adwords than a poorly-qualified buyer. This is
the ONLY advertising medium on the planet where this is
true.
