This morning I wrote an article about Making money on the web using Ed Dale’s 30 day challenge, I partook a couple of years ago and will admit that in amongst the shite that Ed propogates I learned a few interesting things. My problem with the 30 day challenge is Ed spends too much time teaching stuff about browsers and other insignificant issues. Here is what I know works. PS I earn my income from the web directly and indirectly.
Making money on the web with Ed Dale’s 30 Day challenge is not as easy as it seems. You see making money on the web takes dedication. There are people that earn a living from the web using google ads and more but it seems to me that they are in the minority. I wonder whether the ROI on the time is worth it in most cases.I am going to break it down the the basics for you.
Ed Dale is teaching a new crop of spammers how to annoy you and me in his 30 day challenge.You can recognise their comments on your blog because they don’t use names. They use keywords like “Vegas slots” and “Car Insurance” to leave nonsensical comments on blogs. The only objective is to gain back links and thus rank on Google. Read more…
Yesterday I wrote about Ed Dale and his 30 day challenge teaching people spammy techniques. This is not an apology, I still think that Ed Dale teaches spammy techniques amongst some of the really good stuff he teaches.
“Hi Guy,
What I teach is not spam – I teach and expect people to deliver champagne content – If you don’t – a pox on your house
I also teach people to be vibrant, active participants in their community.
Painting and entire community as “inconsiderate, illiterate, uncouth cockroaches these underhanded, slimy, bottom feeders” I would suggest is a tad unfair.
Thanks for allowing me to respond
Ed”
I have a few questions for Ed Dale though about the 30 Day Challenge. As a person who learned a lot from Ed Dale, I have a problem with a few of the things he teaches. I actually like much of the stuff he teaches and use it regularly. There are a few things though that I consider to be below the belt.
On Day 23 of the 30 day challenge Ed Dale introduces you to the Content theft software from Word Press Direct as loved by sploggers all over the world. You may have to register to access this. But Ed gives you access to the software that allows you to rip off content from other websites and blogs. My question to Ed is you stated in your response that you teach people to “deliver Champagne content” Does this champagne content include content stolen from others hard work?
You say you teach people to become “vibrant, active participants in their community” but you suggest that they use keywords as a nome de Plume. Is this not just a smidge spammy? Surely you are better recognised as a “vibrant, active participants in their community” using a real name?
You next state that painting an entire community as “inconsiderate, illiterate, uncouth cockroaches these underhanded, slimy, bottom feeders” as a tad unfair. I ask if you would be happy having your work published verbatim on various content thieving inconsiderate, illiterate, uncouth cockroaches websites. Now please note I never painted the entire industry just those that are too damned lazy to create their own content. Do you still think I am a tad unfair or are those that I referred to as inconsiderate, illiterate, uncouth cockroaches and underhanded, slimy, bottom feeders a tad unfair?
You sir are teaching them these techniques along with all the good stuff that you do teach. Maybe a change to your syllabus may be in order. Let the bottom feeding scum find these black hat techniques on their own. That way I will not get as many pingbacks from sploggers with no mercy, no integrity or manners.
I won’t get stupid remarks from brain dead individuals that can obviously not read like the following. I would hope that someone that has a PR4 blog would be neither a spammer or a splogger.
“I would have loved to have backlinked your article to my pr 4 blog but it appears you would consider that spam. Shame that.”
