WildSEO – No Thanks…So Far…

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!

Important Yahoo! Cash 4 Idiots Update!

When Yahoo! Cash 4 Idiots first came out I barely paid attention. Even though I knew how profitable Yahoo could be from my own personal experience using it, the Yahoo Cash 4 Idiots claims looked a bit outrageous.

I also found it interesting that they poked fun at recent products like Google Payday, Secret Affiliate Code, Automatic Income System, and even Mass Control Marketing.

Not exactly the best way to win friends and influence people – especially in internet marketing where everyone is trying to get everyone else to “push” their products with the hope of making huge money through JVs.

But apparently the authors of YahooCash4Idiots aren’t concerned about the big JV paydays. And if their system really works – why should they be?

The system really started to grab my attention when some of the marketers I trust started to recommend it – including the owner of a major, high-quality PPC training program.

However I’m seeing a lot of claims that it’s basic, rehashed PPC materials that would only be of interest to a newbie. I’ve seen a few people who stated they refunded it immediately.

I have so many products to review that I’m not sure if I’ll even have time to review it soon.

However, I can tell you that if you buy  YahooCash4Idiots and hate it…

You can follow the refund instructions here.

You can also check our current Top 10 Home Businesses list here.

Of course if you’re going to go out and buy Yahoo! Cash 4 Idiots anyhow you might as well go and hunt down some sort of bonus for it. There are a lot of people offering bonuses now.

You can just search on “Yahoo! Cash 4 Idiots bonus” or “Yahoo! Cash 4 Idiots review”.

I’ve seen some bonuses offering squeeze page templates, research strategies, and tracking strategies and others with bonus interviews with Dean Cassady. You’ll just have to decide for yourself on this one what fits your particular needs.

If you buy it and want to provide feedback on it, feel free to comment here. No it’s not a scam but there’s some evidence it may not be all it’s cracked up to be.
