I got an email from Perry Marshal with the following info

"
Yesterday at lunch someone told me that the FTC
(Federal Trade Commission) is introducing new rules
about the use of testimonials.

The gist is: From now on you can't just quote the
happiest and most successful testimonials, you
have to disclose how "everybody" does and what
"average" is.

Some people are very, very concerned about this.

I happily confess that when I get emails with glowing
success stories I ask for permission to use them
and post them on the website

"

I think this might be the reason for CB's instant scared-like-a-bitch landing page policy

What a joke, looks like the FTC will be having fun running a nanny state, I'd love to see this enforced when multi-million dollar companies shoot their infomercials

Q-Ray Bracelets
- "This bracelet is complete bullshit, it actually left a permanent silver stain around my jackoff wrist" - Bobby Baby Boomer

Snuggie
- "Honestly save yourself the $24.95 and wear your bathrobe backwards"
- Jim Smackit

Go Duster
- "Yeah I know I look too retarded to pivet my wrist to dust, but since I already spent the money I removed the duster part, glued on a rolling pin and use it to pleasure myself while hubby is at work"
- Leslie Fatsky
 


its going to be great when the only ads we see are the ones run by people in foreign countries because they are the only ones that still fucking work.
 
These purported guidelines would affect so many companies across so many niches that I have hard time believing that this will ever see light of the day (at least in its present form). Or Else, all kinds of loopholes will be created.
 
This is only going to kill you if you were in niches that you know are full of shit anyway.
Diversify diversify diversify... and maybe polish up them teeth with a rebilled teeth whitening offer so you can smile nicely when doing consult jobs. More and more companies are looking for people to tell them how to make AdWords campaigns.

Ahahah I love how the list leaked out and now there's a whole bunch of links to child porn sites all over the internet.

Good work Stephen.

Oh and also how so many 4-chan and 4-chan related pages are on that list.
 
Im so glad that the FTC has decided to make sure the interwebs are safe for us. While their at it, I would like them tightly wind every single person up in bubble wrap so they cant accidentally hurt themselves. What the fuck ever happened to using your brain? If something seems to good to be true, it probably is - If you cant be bothered to read fine print or believe everything you see/hear, you deserve to be fucked. Survival of the fittest, and guess what you fat, yellow-toothed moron, your going to get fucked until you learn to stop being an incompetent dolt and use your fucking brain.

Maybe whoever is in charge of the FTC should be moved to be in charge of the FDA, since we can't even eat a fucking pistachio now without getting some type of sickness.

Transfat comes to mind. If food has a small enough percentage of trans fat, the FDA allows the manufacturer to state there are NO trans fats on the label. How the in fuzzlefuck is this allowed?

Trans fat labels can be misleading | HealthPoint PA

Here's another one. Remember all those malamine poisoning problems in china? Almost all AMERICAN children's plates and "silverware" is 100% fucking melamine. Microwave it with some food on it and guess what ingredient leeches into the food on the plate? FDA ftw.

Sorry for slight thread hijack, but I just can't get over how badly our gov resources are allocated.

Yeah but most products in affiliate marketing are all fulla shit, well the ones with decent commissions anyway.

And funny you should mention PPC management & Web design etc etc, I believe this is the long term solution, I'm going to be doing the adwords exam once ive caught up on all my projects and start doing this.

Upon doing research into this I've seen so many websites done for companies and small businesses that look like a retarded ten year old back in 1999 designed them. It would be so easy to ring these companies undercut their current "web designer" and steal their business.

Couple that with solid adwords knowledge and your fucking golden.
 
The adwords exam is useless as fuck. Just do the exam on one computer and open up the adwords help page on another.

Oh yes of course the exam is useless as fuck, but it's that little badge that gives you the cred, that is all.
