Jeff Alderson's Clickbank Cash Dominator

It's been a long-time since I refunded a purchase, but this is some of the biggest crap I've seen in a long time.

It also recommends blatant, criminal, copyright theft. More about that at the end of this review.

It's fairly obvious, opening the pdf "handbook" - that this a very generic, poorly written, probably outsourced product.

Unbelievably, within the handbook there is a reference to the date it was written - 2005. Yes, 2005! - with a reference to what might happen by 2008.

The download page appears to have been hastily put together. Missing links, and videos that are simply links to Google's own Adwords Learning Center.

Some of the 'bonus' material is just terrible. No other word to describe it. Junk apparently included to add heft to the product.

The sales page refers to "Covert" affiliate marketing strategies, over 1000 in all. At first, I couldn't find this "bonus" anywhere, until I realized it was the gawd-awful, terrible "bonus" file I was reading. It says it was written by "Bizazi Marketing." In the sales page Alderson claims it is his. Hmmm.

While the sale page says:

"One of the major downsides with most ebooks, guides or courses is that they bang on about theory but don't provide the necessary tools to implement the strategies that are being taught.

Sure, they'll tell you all about the 'supposed secrets' of this, that or the other but what they don't do is give you anything you can take away and actually use!

Why? Because the product creators are afraid of the competition.

...And It Personally Drives Me Nuts!

In contrast, I'm actually gonna' give you ALL the tools you need to start making money faster than you ever thought possible..."

Hmmm. Various tools are mentioned in the pdf files, including Alderson's other products. None of them are included. Hmmm. I'm thinking fraud and Alderson will be getting a letter from my law office, or I'll be sending a hefty packet to the FTC. Haven't decided which.

I give this product a grade of F. I only bought it because years ago I bought something from Jeff Alderson and it was pretty good. Now, I'll probably never buy anything from him ever again.

OK, that's harsh. If you're new to Internet Marketing this is not an F. There is some useful information in the "Action Plan."

Regarding the criminal copyright theft, I don't have any problem disclosing this from the product. Alderson has 2 reports about traffic generation strategies.

The first report is simply to use Youtube, and the genius strategy is to COPY someone else's video, edit it so it includes your website link in the video and in the annotation.

Then, you spam hundreds of related videos with bogus comments. The idea is that someone watching another video will see your username, click on it, see you have a video, watch the video, see your url in your video, then visit your website, where they will hopefully click on a strategically placed Adsense ad.

Besides being a crap technique, and spam, etc., if you missed it - the copying of someone else's video and editing it to include a url to your website is illegal. In addition to civil lawsuits, you may end up in jail.

OK, I guess its the letter to the FTC with a copy to ClickBank.

I know this is a very harsh review, and this isn't intended to 'bash' Jeff Alderson personally. I don't know him. I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions about something generic written in 2005 as an "Affiliate Handbook" and a prime traffic generation strategy being to copy someone else's video and to insert your URL.
