Badass Google Knol Dominator - No Thanks

July 29th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Pete has a new WSO. OK, I’m not surprised either. His newest spam tool is to try and game knol.google.com. sigh. This is Google’s new knowledge article database. Pete compares it to EzineArticles. I don’t see the similarity at all based on some of the articles I’ve seen written. EzineArticles is full of bullshit niche articles. Knol seems to be full of serious notation…for now. I wouldn’t waste my dollars each month on this tool. From the looks of it knol is going to take some serious writing. And you thought Hubpages was hard to write for. I gotta give the guy props though. Taking the spam game right at Google. I doubt the nerds at Google will put up with the spam his tool is set to generate, but what exactly do I know? BTW, the red flag was lifted when he stated that he was going to let you in for a paltry $10/month. But he wants you to know that it is worth $47/month and he is sure it could sell out for that much too. I doubt very seriously he sells anything from the goodness of his heart. If he could make $47/month from it, I’m pretty sure he’d tell you it was worth $97/month. Jus’ sayin’.

Funny, you are not the only one talking about Peter’s WSO.

I agree about the garbage that this guy pumps out. I made a scathing comment on the wso thread and hope it deters some people.

What amazes me is the following he has. I think some of them would lay down their lives for him!

A special thanks to Splork & Griz for telling it like it is. One of the most productive marketing steps I took was signing up for the RSS feed for LostBallHighWeeds.

After reading LostBallInHighWeeds’ blog posts, I took a step back and saw I was on 17 different Internet Marketers’ email lists. STOP THE INSANITY!!!

I’ve caught myself wasting HOURS reviewing numerous Internet Marketing (IM) emails I receive on a daily basis and I’m betting you do the same. Talk about losing focus and wasting time you can never get back… Geeez Louise!!! (no offense meant to Louise… LOL)

So I created a separate email account for all new Internet Marketing opt-ins and transfered all my existing IM sign-ups to the new email account.

Now maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks I will check my IM email account “not” to buy anything, but to see the patterns and buzz words other IM marketers are using to “pump” (sell) their mailing lists.

I hope you find this information helpful.

All my best to you and yours,

Mark

Most marketers know that there is money to be made in the IM industry. They know that half the people who buy their products wont use it so they slam them with offer after offer. Google is changing guys, Ive been watching them the last few months. They want to make the Google search more Social which is reason why they are trying to buy Digg. SEO may be a thing of the past. I saw a video of some Beta Testers testing this new search function that Google is trying out. In the video it looks like people vote on your webpage and the number of votes influences the ranking of your webpage. Tools like SENuke and the BADASS line wont be functioning for long mark my word. Check out the future of search http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/16/is-this-the-future-of-search/
