Hey,

Getting ready to build this site around an offer that everyone but the people who search for this crap knows is complete BS. That's a given. I was just wondering if there are any guidelines, or lines to be drawn, when promoting this stuff on your site? Can I just be as full of shit as possible? Make up statistics, polls, testimonials, whatever garbage I can ram down their throat?

I know most of you are probably laughing because this pretty much how the game works, just thought I'd ask..

I don't have morals in this sense...no

id hold a gun to them for a conversion if i could
 
Watch The Corporation if you piss yourself and morals are an issue then maybe you should just start blogging about pandas and donate the $0.03/day adsense rev to World Wildlife Fund

Otherwise I'd tilt the shitmeter to full throttle and carefully craft you're talking shit like those infomercials that have in small type at the bottom "results not typical" or those bullshit cellphone commercials that have in small type "screens enhanced" or jackasses dressed as doctors and in small print you have "not actual doctor"
 
haha yea i hear you...morals certainly aren't an issue for me..i was just asking in general if you guys go by some sort of guidelines or if there is anything specific i should stay away from..
 
I personally draw the line at outright scamming. While I do "stretch" truth according to tried-and-true marketing principles ("the BEST"? ReallY? Get the FUCK out!), I don't lie.

It takes just as much, or maybe even more, effort to promote a product or service that is crap as it does to promote ones that give good value for money. It also, in my opinion, takes a hell of a lot MORE work to make up features and benefits about something than to simply use the F&B that actually exist.

I'm lazy, and I don't like to screw ppl, there you have it, my scam yardstick.

Agree with this. I try to avoid promoting products that I think are full of crap anyway (Though I won't deny there's a demand for them), so it becomes a non-issue. But technically as long as your advertising isn't violating any laws, I guess you can go hog wild.
 
EVERYONE KNOWS THE GERMANS MAKE GOOD STUFF!

To sell questionable items you must must must have a headset and a then either use the Amish or the Germans to make the products. It also helps if it chops salads or makes fat people think they get thinner.

I recommend selling crack as a diet pill made in germany by amish immigrants.
