I hope no programmers here are responsible for this...

This webinar for commission autopilot is fake. If the developers go to the effort of faking the webinar, the paypal and clickbank sites listed to are most likely fake. It's pretty clever though, having the text chat scroll and the attendees list change. You can see the source files by viewing source and/or saving the page. The javascript files show how it works. Here are two of the files it uses:

Attendees list - setupactivateprofit.com/go/content/data/attendees.txt

Chat log - setupactivateprofit.com/go/content/data/chatlog.txt

Clever stuff hey?! Maybe if they were selling the fake webinar and paypal/clickbank software instead they'd have a great product!

    I think it's brilliant, personally. I'm sure they simply recorded the initial webinar and continue to replay it mimicking the original broadcast. Obviously it was successful or they wouldn't have put in the effort to reproduce the original.

    It's a basic method of success: Do it once. Rinse and repeat.

    I know, it is pretty clever like I said, but a little bit black hat for my liking. They could do just as well probably reusing the webinar and then giving testimonials from attendees instead of the fake text chat comments.

    I did not do that one, but I have done that for an internet marketer.
    WE set up scheduled times, then we replied the video and yes made a fake chat.
    Looked really cool, I dont know if it did anything for sales

    If you reloaded that pages, it continued from where it was.
    Everything was based off server times, not page load times.

    Yeah basing it off server times is a much better way of doing it, kind of gives the game away a bit if if starts from the beginning if you refresh. That's why they say "if you leave or refresh the page you may not be able to get back on the webinar again..." to try and reduce the risk of someone doing that.

    The fake chat too should be synced with the speakers comments instead of just being random. You could go a step further and have the viewer enter their name and if they post anything in chat, one of the fake attendees could respond saying hi to them etc...

    On the top of the page it says: STATUS: Webinar Full - Rebroadcast.
    Maybe that means it's just a replay of real seminar?

      It depends on what time you view the webpage. I received another email today saying a live webinar was starting in 10 mins... tried the link 3 hours later and luckily enough it had only just started... lol

        There are so many fakes and rehashes out there and very convincing ones at that, it gets hard to keep track. I guess it all comes down to due dilligence.
