The frontpage of DirtyCPA is definitely compelling. Using the favorite marketer’s line of giving you a specfic dollar figure, the ad proclaims:

“Discover how to extort $34,612 on automatic pilot!!”

I certainly like 34,612. And considering I’m a lazy shit, automatic pilot is nice. The thing is, is this another richjerk wannabee that offer a moderate amount of general ideas and little hardcore tactic?

Dirty CPA is a simple media course that Steve Iser And John Hostler has come out with to teach you how they made over $30,000 using CPA Methods month after month. I don’t know how true is the fact that they made that much (or in what time frame). But the selling page’s promise is that you will learn how to drive insane amounts of targeted traffic to CPA offers using their techniques

Inside the members area, you will have access to 13 modules of training content, including:

1. An overview of CPA offers and CPA networks
2. How to build killer-converting landing pages
3. How to take advantage of social media sites to drive traffic to offers
4. A guide to PPC strategies that work incredibly well for CPA
5. You also get access to tons of useful tools and special members bonuses

So what’s the bottomline?

Dirty CPA is a not-so-novel course that educates individuals with regards to creating cash using cost per action marketing. The system, like many other make money online products promises huge revenues.

To begin with, CPA stands for Cost Per Action. Rephrasing, it is an online advertising model by which advertisers pay you for funneling visitors that perform certain actions whether that is in the form of a sign up or a purchase.

Dirty CPA includes several tips and information on how to make money using CPA marketing. There are several free resources that you can read and get you started with CPA but if you acquire the guide then you will be getting a few goodies. For instance, there is a good list of superb CPA offers and networks. From there are guides to build webpages that convert traffic into sales. Then you deploy social media sites to drive traffic to offers. Finally you find how to use advertising to promote offers and profit.

All that sounds familiar?

It is. Almost every other system out there costing $49 to $99 offers the same content. In fact, after reading the book, I discovered that I’ve been using the same techniques the past 5 years.

Did I make $34,000? Yep I did. But not merely from the methods they exposed. I got it from a huge aggregation of methodologies.

If you’re an intermediate online entrepreneur,this system may save you a lot of time and money by eliminating guessork. However, if you’re like me and have been frequenting SEO boards like Digital Point or Warrior Forum, much of what’s in here may be old hat.

I give DirtyCPA 4 out of 5 stars

You’ll find nasty stuff stuff  on the net, and there’s no better solution than something equally nasty! Web security company Kaspersky Lab has introduced the “Krab Krawler”, an anti-nasty tool that can make your Twitter-hungry lifestyle a little bit safer.

Cool tool Krab Crawler looks at all posts that appears on Twitter. The posts are parsed for hyperlinks which, if stealthed, are analyzed as to origin. (Yes- even shortened URLs are recognized.) The destination URL is then checked for any nasty things, such as the Koobface virus, that might make your day less tweety. Continue Reading »

It used to be that the Palm Pilot had the most downloadable apps.  Now, it’s different. Palm is dead and the iPhonereigns supreme. When it comes to applications, the iPhone has it all. Even the Windows Mobile phones can’t compete. Don’t believe me? Check out the Apple Store. Or Cydia. Or Installer

Want to control yourDVD? There’s an app for that. Want to find the nearest German bistro? There’s an app for that. Want to record your nosepicking  habits and post them on facebook? Yep, there’s an app for that, too. There’s even a shit program called Poop the World that pooped  its way into Apple’s iPhone App Store. For a dollar, the app combines the iPhone’s GPS power with your own notes to create a public diary of your private business. How sick is that??!

Insane? Def. Pointless? Of course. But delightful? For some sickos- yeah!. I hate to be a party pooper, but let’s face it: Shit apps are becoming commonplace on the iPhone. Wanna know which iphone apps really burp this month? Check it out! Continue Reading »
Top 3 Really Dumb Iphone Apps

Dozens of my friends have been scammed on ebay.  There are dozens of fraud and payment scams where the buyer ends up paying for stuff and not receiving a thing. Here’s what I do to prevent being victimized when shopping the latest gadgets for this site:

• Never reply to (or click on links ) within email purportedly from ebay. 98% of all the wild email from paypal, ebay, Bank of America , etc are phising schemes designed to wrest critical information from you. Succumb- and you’re giving thieves access to your account.  Instead, login directly to your ebay account where the real messages are stored. This ensures that monsters are not stealing your information
• Never click on user-created links in auction listings. My buddy did and ended up having to cancel a credit card.
• Never allow your browser to automatically log you in. Instead, enter your passwords manually. Automatic login may leave vulnerable cookies on your PC that miscreants can steal!
• Ask lots of questions. Never bid till you know the answers. Assume nothing. Implications are just guesses and can lead to disappointments!
• Leave feedback only after you are satisfied. Leaving it before disempowers you. You lose your bargaining chip!

And you guys think that your credit cards are secure.

I don’t care if it’s Gold or Silver, Platinum or unlimited credit. Magnetic stripe or smart chip. Whether Citibank or Chase issued it- you’re in heavy risk of being defrauded.   You can lose a great deal of money- and I don’t mean about getting robbed  on the street. You will bleed your money to the shady call center agent who has access to your entire credit record. Everything.

Credit Card Security? Oxymoronic!

Yesiree! Here’s anothe fun and dandy little device that promises to shed my marbled fat while I watch TV with a tub of popcorn. Their ad tickled me pink!

By using Ston-O-Max you’ll be able to get the body you’ve always wanted. The Ston-O-Max is the first and only machine that utilizes the patented CBS (Centrifugal Body Stimulation) technology. Its elliptical motion causes muscles to contract and in turn build muscle and break down fat

Sure sure sure. It’s another Osim clone (remember the Uzap endorsed by those oh so sexy chinese girls?). If I wanted the same effect, I may as well pile my girlfriend’s ten vibrators on my stomach and vibrate away.

Last time I used a similar device was two years ago. All I got was a backache.

Here’s an article by Scott Berkun that’s simply too good to miss:

Everyone lies: it’s just a question of how, when and why. From the relationship saving “yes, you do look thin in those pants” to the improbable “your table will be ready in 5 minutes”, manipulating the truth is part of the human condition. Accept it now.

I’m positive that given our irrational nature and difficultly accepting tough truths, we’re collectively better off with some of our deceptions. They buffer us from each other (and from ourselves), avoid unnecessary conflicts, and keep the wonderful confusion of our psychologies tucked away from those who don’t care. White lies are the spackle of civilization, tucked into the dirty corners and crevices our necessary, but pretentiously inflexible idealisms create. Small lies prop up and support our powerful truths, holding together the insanely half honest, half false chaos that spins the world.

But lies, serious lies, should not be encouraged as they destroy trust, the binding force in all relationships. One particularly troublesome kind of lie is known as Bullshit (BS). These are unnecessary deceptions, committed in the gray area between polite white lies and complete malicious fabrications. BS is usually defined as inventions made in ignorance of the facts, where the primary goal is to protect oneself. The aim of BS isn’t to harm another person, although that often happens collaterally. For a variety of reasons BS can be hard to detect, which is why I’m offering this missive as a crash B.S. in BS detection. But be warned: to keep you on your toes there are several bits of BS tucked inside this essay which you will have to find for yourself. Continue Reading »
How to Detect BullShit.

Did anyone ever recommend this bunk of crap?

Here’s a product that promises you’ll get rich. Really rich.

The secret?

All you have to do is promote the book itself aggressively and earn commissions from its sale.

How cool is that?

(The author conveniently forgot to mention that he gets rich while you keep promoting his book)

The product sucks so much that I just can’t give you the link to AutoProfit Pilot.

Here’s a site that promises to get you the highest possible engine rankings in google.

Check out the hubhub they throw at you:

Discover the breakthrough technique, that will allow an elite few to be placed on the first page of Google, in ANY niche, for ANY set of search terms, FREE in under 5 days”

This is not back linking strategies, SEO, or keyword lacing.

Very few times in our lives are industry changing developments released. This is one of those rare occasions, and it’s going to blur the lines between the heavy-hitters and those struggling.

Now, with the release of The Google Backdoor a very elite group of web marketers will for the first time ever, be able to set themselves on the highest rankings, seamlessly and effortlessly, without using keyword strategies, back linking, or any other conventional search engine strategy, in just a few days… This 15 minute technique is truly a “backdoor” to the VERY TOP of Google’s first page of listings.

We aren’t the “poster boys” of internet marketing you are so accustomed to seeing; we are the ones that actually make things happen on the internet, in big business, the ones search engine companies invite to teach classes on search engine ranking, and we are releasing a technique that is the smoothest shortcut around, we use it all day, everyday, on every project.

They’re asking price? Oh cheap. Just under $200.

If it’s so powerful, why’s the it’s PR 0 and it’s alexa ranking in the Millions?

It’s like a lung doctor who’s dying of emphysema or the get-rich guru suffering court cases for estafa and failure to pay debt.

tsk tsk.
