I just answered the following question:
Q: “I looked in your not recommened a to z list. Do you know anything about the six figure yearly .com system. I know you get lots of emails but how could i find out if this legit. thanks for the info.”
A: “OK. I don’t know it – but I see a big RED FLAG in that it claims
to be rated #1 by HomeBusinesFiles – which we have on our NOT recommend “Review/Consumer Protection site” list here:
Home business review sites and protection sites we don’t recommend.
I won’t go into the details, but it has to do with several of the articles at HomeBusinessFiles recommending opportunities that have websites hosted on the SAME SERVER.
Note: I’m posting the details on the blog that I didn’t send to the original persona asking the question:
I posted a long discussion I had with someone regarding
the realities of this type of opportunity here:

SixFigureYearly.com claims to be the #1 Rated site at HomeBusinessFiles.com. Initial skepticism is based on the fact that both SixFigureYearly.com and HomeBusinessFiles.com are hosted on the same IP address:
209.157.71.50
Of course that could be a complaint coincidence, but lets take a look at some of the other products HomeBusinessFiles recommends:
This article:
http://www.homebusinessfiles.com/article466765.html
recommends a review site called WorkAtHome10.com – which is also hosted on IP:
209.157.71.50
Here are the #1 sites WorkAtHomeTop10 recommends in each category along with the IP they’re hosted on:
- SixFigureYearly.com – 209.157.71.50
- HomeJobGroup.com – 209.157.71.50
- ClassifiedSurveys.com – 209.157.71.50
More – This article:
http://www.homebusinessfiles.com/article455667.html
Recommends a program called AdwordForBeginners.com which is hosted on this IP:
209.157.71.50 (I’d say we’re starting to see a pattern here that defies the odds this shared IP address being a “coincidence”).
AdwordsForBeginners has testimonials from the following sites (i’ve listed the IP where they’re hosted as of this writing):
- WorkAtHomeTop10.com – 209.157.71.50
- ScamFreeOnline.com – 209.157.71.50
- HomeBusinessFiles.com – 209.157.71.50
This Article:
http://www.homebusinessfiles.com/article455.html
Recommends a product called My-Type-Of-Biz (My-Type-of-Biz.com) which is hosted on this IP:
209.157.71.50
The sales page tries to distance itself from “data entry affiliate programs”, but then goes on to use the exact same type of language that some of the worst data entry sites use – here’s snippet from the My-Type-Of-Biz sales letter:
“ I will teach you which of the over 10,000 companies to join and you can start writing for by filling out online forms for them instantly.”
It’s nice to see that they are revealing that it’s a business, but they then still go on to use language that makes the opportunity seem much simpler than it is.
In addition to being hosted on the same IP, – here’s another thing that the following sites have in common:
- AdwordsForBeginners
- SixFigureYearly
- WorkAtHomeTop10
- My-Type-of-Biz
- HomeBusinessFiles
- ScamFreeOnline
All have the following at the top of their source code:
<meta name=”generator” content=”Homestead SiteBuilder”> which appears to indicate that ALL 5 sites were built with the same sitebuilder.
(Note, because privacy guard was put on the some of the domains immediately, there was no way to tie them together even via a whois history search). However, another “Fun fact” came from doing a comparison of a couple of the pages between AdwordsForBeginners & SixFigureYearly using this Similar Page Checker:
http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php
Here are some results:
“http://sixfigureyearly.com/termsandconditions.html
is 87% percentage similar to
http://adwordsforbeginners.com/termsandconditions.html”
&
“http://adwordsforbeginners.com/privacypolicy.html
is 94% percentage similar to
http://sixfigureyearly.com/privacypolicy.html”
etc., etc.
Onc again, I posted a long discussion I had with someone regarding the realities of this type of opportunity here:
