Wow, as if the numerous emails I've gotten lately promoting his latest link-building seminar weren't ridiculous enough ~ now the one I got this morning was just over the top!

He sent an email out to his mailing list telling subscribers that they'll get a special deal of one free PAD article with any package from his buddy's site - but WOW, check out the prices for so little!

That just blew me away - I believe in paying my writers well - but that's really an absurd amount to pay for a few articles over products!!

Keep in mind they need to charge enough to give James his commissions Wink

I just got my first email about his link building seminar today. $397 seems awfully steep to learn how to get backlinks to your site.

From the sales page:

But Why An Inbound Link Building Workshop If You Have Already Got My Training?


Funny, that's the exact thought that crossed my mind when I started to read the sales letter!

I can't remember the last time I received any kind of helpful information from Mr. Martell - only sales pitches for his latest training, which usually strike me as something that his manual ought to explain in more detail, for $197.

Quite a little affiliate training empire, but I really wonder how relevant he is in the "affiliate training" market these days.

I haven't looked at his site for a couple of years and just took a quick look. Same testimonials, same videos from past conferences, same old stats from 2001-2002 - nothing that would indicate to me that his "system" still works the way it used to.

Haha, exactly, I am still on the mailing list and will glance at an email every once and a while, and it's always ridiculous!

No, the system certainly doesn't work the way it used to, I know I have to do a lot beyond his training to get a half-decent income.

He and his partners sure are trying to milk it for everything before *everyone* catches on to that. I just feel sorry for the poor people that pay for the bootcamp!
