More like my head exploding. Just got an email from one of the guru holdouts that I still subscribe to. Why, why, why have I not shitcanned this newsletter with the rest? List pimping to the extreme. Well the dude wanted his list to know that Article Explosion has reopened their “doors” for 33 lucky suckers to join their monthly Adsense EZ-bake site sale.
For each month you get 10 niche websites with 20 “top quality” articles. It’s all set up for you to make the big Adsense bucks. Just look at the feature set!
They have RSS feeds built in! So does Wordpress for free!
The sites are built without tables! So are blogs for free!
Beautiful and simple designs! So are blogs with thousands of templates that can be changed every hour if you like. For free!
Automatic Social Bookmarking! I use Ultimate Tag Warrior, for free!
Modular design make it easy to add to! I post to my blogs easily for free!
Comprehensive research! I do mine for $10 at nichebot! Not free!
Don’t buy this crap. For the $97 do yourself a favor and join PLRPro. I’m sorry I keep harping on it but it’s really the best site out there for the money and for what you get. Sure, AE only has 125 members but you STILL need to re-write this stuff, no matter how good it may be. Duplicate content could still be an issue. You’re paying a lot of money for presumed exclusivity.
I had to laugh. The newsletter I got said to go over to his blog and check out all the testimonials saying how great AE is. The dude basically scraped all the testimonials off the salespage. I mean, I thought I’d be reading recommendations from his list or people he has sold to. Nuh-uh. Just another pimp trying to get you to buy something with fat affiliate margins that he wouldn’t be caught dead using.
I will not be joining AE, dead OR alive.

Splork,
Thanks for tipping us abt PLRpro. I followed your tip on Affliroma and joined in, and it was a good decision.
However, PLRPro is a different thing. Why?
Becos I find it a personal setback to pay $97 monthly fees when others are probably paying somewhere between $30 to $50 (not sure abt the exact amt).
In that sense others like Article Underground are priced more fairly for everyone.
Regards.

Yea, that’s one of the reasons why Daniel and Marc are doing the Free PLRPro thing. The only thing I can say is that it really is more than just the articles. Training, free software, blog network and article submissions. It’s the only membership I know of that is worth $97.

I agree with the above comment, that is why my friend has joined AE and I am considering that as well becos of his good testimony.

AE is $97 as far as I know. So is Article Underground. PLRPro is $97. For my money, which I am spending, PLRPro is the hands down winner.

Hey Splork,
I joined for the free package to see what it has to offer. It was from a pop-up, so if I join later on, I hope you get the referral. Or should I come back here to join? Let me know…

Hey Jan. I’m not sure. It would be very nice if you came back through here and clicked on one of the PLRPro links I’ve posted. But don’t sweat it if you don’t think about it. It’s truly the thought that counts. I hope you like the service and get a chance to join. I think you’ll like what they offer.

Hi Splork,
First of all, KUDOS for creating this cut-through-the-hype blog. I like your honesty.
I admit I like what I see in PLR PRO. Their customer service is excellent, and they seem more professional and nice.
I speak from experience after being with Article Underground for many months, and being a loyal subscriber. Looking at switching to other PLR networks…
This is more to do with the trouble in getting good personal responses from Mike Liebner. Article Underground might have its good points, but there is one advantage that PLR PRO has over all the other similar plr networks…
PLR PRO has always seemed to keep adding or enhancing their value, and even this giving away of free plr articles with their free version, is a great gesture.
I’ll never forget the free article pack that Daniel Turner sent me after we had exchanged emails over a few hours one night.
Maybe he was free at that time, but that IS what I call super customer service. In membership sites, I think customer service is one of the most important aspects.
There are other membership sites with good customer service, but they are few and far in between. Sadly.
