You know I’ll let WildSEO play out. It may be perfectly fine.
Why am I mentioning it? Because I just got an email from Dylan Loh about it in my inbox.
But i got turned off as soon as I saw that their sample website that the were using in the sales page – TheRealIncome was promoting DoublingStocks. Now, it would be idiotic to discount the claims of WildSEO just because I don’t like their example site – but it does give me a nice opportunity to rant about Doubling Stocks. LOL (don’t worry I’ll come back to WildSEO).
DoublingStocks Rant Interlude
You see, DoublingStocks is one of the most notorious online “opportunities” of all time. It’s unbelievable to me that it’s even still running. I know a lot of REAL full-time traders and I don’t even bother to show them the DoublingStocks site because I don’t want to cause them to have a hernia from laughing too hard. Also they’d be laughing so LOUD that the cops might come and arrest them for disturbing the peace.
It’s quite well-known by now that the sales letter used for DoublingStocks is extremely similar to an old sales letter for PokerBobby which you can see at Archive.org here.
Even the photo of the two “programmers” is the same – although on PokerBobby their names are given as “James” and “Gary” whereas in the DoublingStocks.com sales pitch the names are given as “Michael” and “Carl”.
Now I’m going to move onto some concerns about WildSEO right off the bat. If you want more information about DoublingStocks and it’s problems I suggest you read one of the best writeups about DoublingStocks reality at PennyStocks.com here.
About WildSEO – First of all I’m baffled as to why they’re bragging about ranking #1 in Yahoo for “make money in home” which according to the Google Keyword Tool has extremely low search volume – 880 searches per month on a broad match and 58 searches per month on exact match when I checked. Hardly anything to write home about.
In fact when I checked the Yahoo rankings for “make money in home” our “good friend” “TypingWealth.com” was ranked number 1. LOL. (In case you don’t know we do NOT recommend TypingWealth). But that’s neither her nor there – just funny.
Now their ranking for “make money online” is impressive, but it would be nice to know how long they hald that ranking. I’ve ranked #2 for “work at home jobs” – but not for long. Certainly I could have taken a screenshot when I ranked. I just went through 5 pages of Yahoo results for “make money online” and didn’t see their example site once – however, I know that rankings can disappear and come back so take that with a grain of salt.
So basically I’m willing to wait this one out. I’m not going to discount it completely just because the example site is promoting DoublingStocks. That would be idiotic as it has nothing to do with whether the techniques in WildSEO are valid or not.
And I’m certainly not going to fork over money for the product based on what I’m seeing so far!
Hey,
I think you made a wise choice not buying. I work in advertising and study direct response sales letters like WILDSEO.
Basically, it is just a fantastic classic sales letter and I am studying it. It uses almost every text-book advertising technique. I will never buy it because at the end of the day it plays on two current beliefs: (1) the internet is a complex machine but also a new wild frontier for making money (2) there are ways to ‘trick’ this machine into spitting out money.
The reality is this. WildSEO probably has some good information but it will not do any of what it says. That’s because it uses the oldest trick in the advertising tool-box: make gratification instantaneous. Anytime you see a sales letter promising that it can take you from A (broke, alone, and confused) to B (successful, sexy, and fully assured) it isn’t a scam. It is just a perversion and distortion of the truth. Don’t buy it. But learn from it.
