Average Joe IM needs some light!

gamboo · 09-30-2010, 06:56 AM

Hi Warriors I decided to promote Acai Berry products, and searched "Acai Berry" on Google to check some good landing pages to get myself on the right track.

And came across:
http://www.health8news.com
Acai Berry Products Reviewed - Most Effective Ones Found - USA Health News

This obviously would convert but I was surprised to find out everything is fake(after reading the fine print) from the story to the comments even!

So is this actually legitimate? I need some feedback regarding this because to me it is shady, and maybe I need another example.

Thank you

Those websites are called flogs. Fake blogs. Read thisacai flogs cracking down

These sites are very popular, and the "fake stories" or "fake testimonials" are not something that started with the CPA industry, people do it since the day we started selling stuff. Do you think that famous people saying on the TV that they use the product "XYZ" are legit, honest testimonials?

What I can tell you is that this type of landing page converts incredibly well with the right traffic sources. However, it's up to you decide if you want to use them or not.

Thanks for the replies

How do CPA networks look upon flogs?

Be careful with those. If you're in the US the FTC may come knocking on your door.

Those offers are usually scams. They put you in a monthly rebill program that is hard to cancel. And now the FTC are onto them too, best to promote something you know is legit.

Thanks for the replies guys.

How do I make sure if an offer is legit? Speak to my AM?
