Ed Dale of the 30 day challenge will teach you to make a $. I liked the 30 day challenge because I learned a lot from Ed Dale. But here is the thing Ed Dale is always going on about Spam and not to do it. One of the first things he teaches you however is to build backlinks using spammy techniques. Yes he says you must add to the conversation but then suggests you use your keywords as a name when commenting on blogs.

This is wrong and is going to upset people. I like talking to people not key words. If you are trying to add to the conversation and are using keywords as a name, I will not add you as a commentor to my blog. In fact I may add your comment but I will remove the back links.

So you sign in as Cheap Car Insurance you get no airtime because sir, you are a spammer.

The second thing that Ed teaches people is to use Content from other peoples sites as bait on your own site. Thats right duplicate someone else’s content and link to their site as attribution. You see in the spammers mind this is not an unreasonable tactic. Steal and attribute. The sad thing is that people using full content RSS feeds to make it easier for their readers to read what they have written in the RSS readers are now finding their posts posted verbatim on many other sites by the splogging thieves.

What makes it even worse is that these splogging thieves do pingbacks getting the unwary to link back to the splog sites, giving these splog sites more backlinks improving their Google positioning. That means that these splog sites get seen as more important than the original articles because they have more backlinks.

Ed Dale is one of the architects of the training teaching these inconsiderate, illiterate, uncouth cockroaches these underhanded, slimy, bottom feeding techniques.

Guy McLaren is also an internet marketer who will not stoop to the depths plumbed by the Ed Dales of the world.
