Double Bingo! Here, here..

Here's my answer... and although I'm gonna stereotype a little I think it's pretty accurate.

See, most Guru's are inherently very charismatic people. They have magnetic personalities and are very good salespeople. They like being around and communicating with people. They also usually like attention. Most of them however do not understand internet marketing from a technical standpoint at this level. That's why when a lot of them Gurus endorsed AC I don't think they were trying to or knowingly misleading anyone - they simply aren't involved in CPA and the information probably was new and exciting to them...

Now, the real players in the CPA game are often the exact opposite. They're often low key, even secretive. They're usually pretty young, very technically inclined and often grew up with a computer in their bedroom. I'm talking about 15-30 year old nerds. These are the real powerhouses in the CPA game. If you see them you'd likely be in complete denial that they make $3k-100k per day. Often times they're completely uninvolved in the "internet marketing" niche and couldn't name one "guru" if you asked them. They just continuously and obsessively test, tweak... and drive insane amounts of traffic to mainstream offers.

Now, to anyone reading this... there are of course plenty of exceptions so it is a little unfair to stereotype and paint a black and white comparison... but personally, this has definitely been my experience.

And you know what else? Many won't enter the IM niche b/c it's too targeted in the BizOPP niche and simply not big enough for them. They'll often only enter niches where they can realistically do 5k+/day consistently everyday (for example mainstream bizopp and weight loss)

No time or desire for vid games!

...though I have been known to jump on couches and jam out some good ol guitar hero on late friday/early saturday hours.
