I really have to wonder either how stupid some Internet marketers are or how gullible they think the buying public is…especially if that buying public consists of OTHER Internet marketers. I mean, we didn’t just fall off the turnip truck yesterday. We DO have some brains in our heads. Well, some of us do anyway. If you’re wondering what the hell I’m going on about, keep reading this article because this has to be one of the stupidest cons I have yet to see in over seven years online.

If you are familiar with the ClickBank marketplace (and who isn’t?) then you know that each product in the marketplace has a gravity assigned to it. This gravity indicates approximately how many affiliates have made at least one sale of that product in a 90 day period. Simple enough, right? Well, currently, the top product at the Clickbank marketplace in the make money category has a gravity of about 1200. That means 1200 affiliates have made at least one sale in the last 90 days. That means that this product has sold at least 1200 units.

Well, if you take a good look at the sales page, it says that only 234 of these will be sold.

Huh?

Does anybody besides me see the problem here? If this was outside of the make money niche I could understand then thinking that customers would figure out that this was false scarcity. But when you’re marketing to your own kind, you HAVE to know that they’re going to read right through this. No, the lesson here isn’t that if you’re going to lie make sure you do it to people too stupid to know it, though, at the very least, that should be at the top of your “don’t do these moronic things” list. The lesson here is that eventually, and I don’t care how long it takes, these cons are going to catch up to you.

And if your punishment doesn’t come on this planet, it will certainly come in the afterlife. In other words, you’re going to hell missy.

I know a lot of people are going to laugh this article off as some sort of attempt at humor. But make no mistake about it, if stuff like this continues, eventually this profession is going to get such a bad rap that it’s going to literally self destruct. And then we’re ALL going to be looking for 9 to 5 jobs again.

Think about it before you put up some stupid sales page that is obviously a big bold lie.

To YOUR Success,
