Auto Traffic Monopoly by Andrew Wallace

ERRRRRRRRR...dumb question?

About half way down the page, he has a proof of income graphic from his clickbank account...basically, showing where he started from, and where he took his profits too...

ehhhhh...both of the screen shots have the same dates, so how could he make 2 amounts on the same day?

And then down the page...he has several more images...all the same dates lol - so looks like he used one "template" but all the amounts change with each screenshot.

Really? Scams are everywhere this days. Thanks a lot for the warning.

Heres my take on this. I have been an internet marketer for over 8 years and I understand why people buy these products I think. I must admit when I see these ads I still wonder "is it possible" even though experience should be telling me, "Dont Be An Idiot". What really drives people to buy this crap is that these clever guys play on people with the "I want to make money for doing f*** all " attitude. How many times do we need to tell them THIS PUSH BUTTON AND MAKE $1000 DOLLARS OVER NIGHT is NOT POSSIBLE (unless you do as these unscrupulous guys and sell a worthless product with completely false claims. I have thought about this for a long time and have now decided to take some action. Here is what I think people new to the inernet marketing game want. In my opinion the best way to make money is develop your own product and get a site up and pull traffic or set up affiliate sites. Heres the problem. Most newbies have no idea how to do it plus dont have much money and cannot really understand how to do it from an Ebook. SO I believe in the tried an trusted Watch Over My Shoulder Video Course that basically explains everything almost from turning on the computer. Next, they need to be able to do everything apart from obviously domain names and hosting as near to FREE as possible. Over the next couple of months I am going to get this video course together. I will be looking for about a dozen people on thw Wf to have a free copy to give an honest review. Let me just say I will not be giving review copies to newbies, only seasoned IMs who will be able to give an honest review. Eventually I will propably sell it for about $47. I think that is the right price because its not a lot and if they cannot afford that amount then internet business is wrong for them anyway. Any guinea pigs for a free copy let me know. As I say I only want about a dozen. FINALLY if you get an email as I do daily from people whose list you have joined offering you these crap products, remove yourself from their list as they are as bad as the morons who develop these rubbish rip off products.

Can you tell me why this SEO product is the worst? I'm sorry coz this is the first time I saw this SEO product... Thanks

Yes exactly, I am not buying anymore....just do it all manually then...lol
It seems like selling the same thing but with another name and approach..sick and tired of it...

Same for me... But it's how it works, they keep buying products that they'll never use. Most of my coaching clients come to me after they've burned several thousands on softwares and ebook.

The good thing is that most of the time, I tell them to use what they already bought (if applicable, of course).

Simple answer,the are desperate,and getting fed up with the last BS product that came out
So they wait for another one and ready theair $37 so that they could try something new and just HOPE that they are going to make money,but then,they fail
Rinse and repeat

THANK YOU neodarth! I've been meaning to type and save such a 'red flag list' to blast out to members of several groups I manage when asked about new products. I won't give you credit for the list because you must have somehow pull a mind-meld with me ;-)

Actually you could of saved some time by including just the first and last red flags...

First - Why would anyone buy anything that is not clearly defined? ...for any price? ...from anyone? Boggles me.

Last - Scarcity of a digital product? Yeah, I get the "too many released will change the marketing world as we now know it" routine. This is just plain insulting.

People! If you are smart enough to know how to use a keyboard and mouse you should be able to hear (or smell) the guru circus as it rolls onto your screen.

I wish you all a healthy Paypal account.

Is not a coincidence, because the customer profile they are aiming is the desperate guy who use his last credit to buy a product that will solve his life, pay his rent and make him rich with the minimum effort at the minimum of time.

That hunger market, with the economy as is today, is huge and sadly not everybody knows about IM forums like this. That's why they are always the best sellers and don't mind about high refund rate, they win anyway.

It's sad but true my man

QFT!

Sometimes internet marketing is a lot like the pornography industry. A multi billion dollar industry that no one watches.

Hehe. Yeah we all think this is gross, right? Right?

Well I am not a smart man but seems to me if these morons were really pulling in that amount of money day in and day out, the desk and studio they film in would one fantastic and well decorated spot to work. However in each "Do it theirself" video they are sitting at a cheap walmart fiber desk, nothing on the walls etc...

Im sorry but seriously if they were able to make that much and actually be able to keep the money rather than 98% being refunded, you can bet your ass their offices would be top notch.

There is no doubt people buy their "false promises" but a very high % is refunded and THAT is what these "Guru's" bank on and actually make is those folks that, even though got a worthless piece of junk, opt not to bother with getting a refund.

Don't you find it funny that CB has regulations on number of refunds for the buyers but not the garbage sellers? That means that after so many refunds CB will trash the buyer but not the sellers.

All the public is asking for is to DELIVER what is promised. When a sales pitch says no article marketing needed yet the product requires article marketing "then that is a damn lie, false advertising, PERIOD."

Melody, that's funny!!! lol! The 'respected' folks, may have their eyes on the $600 plus possible commission per customer.

According to what I have read on this forum...One may be better off investing in MS. NOTE: NO AFFILIATE LINK. Generally, I don't uncover what is in my "secret arsenal"...this is just a point in the right direction.

A worth while product should produce MORE TRAFFIC, MORE LEADS, and MORE CONVERSIONS, for the investing marketer.

I agree. Sadly, there's a lot of BS out there and I feel bad for newbies.

Yes, Melody,

I too have been unsubbing recently from various lists which promote these type of BS products.

GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION is how I decide the fate of these list owners and I feel such relief after pronouncing the sentence - UNSUBSCRIBE !! :p

Cheers Warriors and keep up the good work of exposing these cash sucking leeches.

Melody,,WOW, a couple Years,But i did the same thing,,Clean, spring,fall,winter,and Summer,,ALOT of Unsubs,,Felt great!!!!!,, Thanks,Jack

That's right Tamara.

But see, their target market is the "Newbie Industry". It's literally become an industry. Those are the folks they keep promoting to. It's not just our greed glands (or desperation) at stake; having seen the sort of paydays promoting to clueless newbies can yield, their own greed continues to overwhelm any integrity they have left.

I am not too concerned about the Clickbank screenshots. Yes, they can be forged, or they could be true. I think most people can forgive this ambiguity (or dubiousness) if the software does manage to make the Average Joe a couple grand per month on autopilot.

What concerns me is the blatant lies. Essentially he is saying all the other methods like SEO, PPC, PPV, Social Media etc. "don't work". That's such a blatant lie that I have a hard time imagining even newbies falling for it; the DO work. They cost time, energy, and in some cases money, but they can yield spectacular paydays.

Secondly, offers like this promote what is in my humble opinion one of the PRIME REASONS for people remaining broke: Laziness. Sure, rich people get rich by working smart, and filling the right gaps, but every single rich person I've had the honor of meeting arrived there by working their ass off. Matt Furey worked hard to get to where he is. Harlan Kilstein worked hard to get to where he is. The later Gary Halbert, Dan Kennedy, Corey Rudl etc.

Now to many of them, working was pure joy - an expression of their own deepest desires to help others - so there was little-to-no-effort with all the work involved. Working 14 hour days actually energised them and filled their lives with purpose.

But lest there be delusion in the matter, there IS work involved, and herein lies the real danger of the sort of mentality that people are trying to foster upon newbies with "breakthrough" offers like this: It's an invitation to more laziness, and making your wallet lighter.

Peace.

Same old, same old. I am glad to be part of the Warrior Forum as it has for sure saved me tons of cash from stupid bs sales pages like this.

Clickbank doesn't care as they make money whatever - same as this guy. If you really want to make a serious long term business, steer clear of CB (just my opinion).

Shame not everyone can check here first before buying.

Gratitude & Power to the 'honest' Warriors in here.

I've just noticed that nearly all the posts on here are saying things like, it's BS, it's rubbish, it won't work, it's doomed to fail, why do people buy this stuff etc etc etc.... yet most comments are from people who haven't purchased it or tried it.

I didn't think this forum was about what we think or feel about a product, I thought it was about proving by trial and error. There are only a few posts from people who have actually bought it and tried it, one was quite positive and called it 'powerful'.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I think I would at least take more notice of something said from an actual purchaser of a product than from someone who hasn't purchased...... the people who haven't tried it don't know.... they are just guessing. Now maybe they are right but they could be wrong.

Has anyone maybe considered that the software 'maybe' a useful addition to their other methods ? Maybe the software 'may' save them a little time and add to their traffic ? For $37 then if I get more traffic at no cost and little time then I would consider using it.

And at the end of the day, if it's total BS and doesn't bring any traffic then I just click my way back to CB and get a refund..... easy peasy lol.

Why we have to go all out on a slanging match about the product and dismissing it as crap (without even trying it out lol) and a 'I'm so glad I came here cos the WF has saved me more money again...'...... Come on guys, most of us come here to find an excuse not to purchase a product or you might be someone who thinks the product will stop you purchasing their product lol.

If you're curious then go and buy it and try it, then come back here and tell us your experience, you've nothing to lose cos if it doesn't do what it says on the tin then get your refund, CB are good for it, we all know they will refund you, they wouldn't still be in business if they didn't.

I have never read so many negatives about a product from people who haven't bought and tried it.... it's ludicrous lol.

I'm going to buy it now, if it's crap I'll come back and say so and then get my refund from CB.

But if it works just a little (I don't expect to make shedloads of cash cos I'm a realist ;-)) even if it brings in a few extra orders in exchange for a little bit of my time then for me it's worth $37 of anyone's money.

It's so easy to join the 'crowd' and all get on the band wagon of calling it rubbish without even trying it. It is the worst error anyone can make about any product or service... and that is judging without trying. How would you feel if someone made a judgement about your product and they hadn't even tried it ?

And as far as 'upsells' and 7 or 10 of them being a bad thing ? Well this is the industry we work in, we all expect upsells the same as we expect the 'knockdown special offer price', as well as we expect the guarantees, and as well as we expect the usual $97 or $197 or the $297 selling price (whoever thought of these selling prices lol)) Why don't we sell like the High Street at $20 or $50 or $100 or $200 ? It's because we are all programmed to expect this format of selling by the masses....It's the way it is..... what we expect.

But what we should never expect is to hear from numerous people slagging any product off without trying it, without experiencing, without at least accepting that maybe, just maybe, the product has a place in the numerous marketing tactics we use.

I got it too.
But, read his another email.

Hello again guys,
I've read most of the thread and I completely agree with those who are tired gurus with short sighted mindsets...

Anyway, let me give you an update on ATM.

The software is really powerful. The SEO strategy is based on posting on 7 diffferent Web 2.0 blogs with high ranking. Among these, wordpress.com and blog.ca.

The software allows you to upload 7 diffrent articles and post them in these blogs for less than 5 minutes (it takes almost 2 hours to do it manually). The software also allows you to add an anchored keyword pointing to wherever you like (e.g., your main blog.

On top of that it links all blogs with a "related post link". According to Wallace this will help increase the rank of your main blog posts.

HOWEVER...and its a BIG however...

Both Wordpress and blog.ca have issues with all this.

To date wordpress has suspended my account and blog.ca has deleted all my blogs in less than 48 hours.

This is very unfortunate as ATM doesn't allow to choose which blogs you want to include in the system (I guess programming the software for other websites can be really tricky).

Also, I think the software could be improved adding a feature that allows the user to choose the blog category where to post the content.

Finally, as already mentioned, Mr Wallace doesn't reply to emails and provides no customer support.


So, although I really like both the idea and the software I donàt feel recommending it.

I hope that Mr Wallace understands that he has created a really good piece of software and will improve his currently very poor service.
