Affiliate Marketer Fail!

Monday, April 6, 2009

So today I added grant scam site number 50 to the grant scam site blacklist. The honors go to the affiliate marketer who came up with the awesome domain name specialgovernmentgrants.com. Congrats, and happy scamming! Here is a screenshot of the honoree's site:


Party pooper alert, though!

I found this site during my daily round on Google search ['grants']; it was advertised with a PPC ad in the right hand column next to the search results, cleverly enticing prospective victims with the lure of 'secrets':

Yeah, visited link all right, of course I clicked on it, I wanna know secrets! But look where the click takes me, the home page of the hosting provider that hosts the grant scam affiliate site:

Now there's an affiliate marketer fail for you! Well, learning the hard way ain't always bad. Congrats again on making #50, and keep trying! I promise I'll keep clicking on your ads to see if you figured the whole PPC marketing thingy out.
