About a year ago, I signed up for Affiliate X, which is a website that specializes in Clickbank product research. They offered all sorts of upsells, like half-baked website templates plus, if you get on their list, you’ll be bombarded with emails hawking the latest Internet Marketing “frauduct.” Basically, the guys that run this site only want to make a quick buck and do not give a rats ass what they are pushing to people on their list. All they want is the commission.

Here’s one of the emails that I got:

If you click on the link, you get this message:

This site is no longer in service or has been disabled due to a terms of service violation.

Este sitio ya no está en servicio o ha sido desactivado debido a violaciones en las condiciones del servicio.

Diese Seite ist außer Betrieb und wurde wegen Missbrauch unserer Verordnung gesperrt.

Ce site n’est plus en service ou a été disconnecté par suite de violation des termes du service.

This was sent to me about 8 days ago.

In the last three days, AffiliateX has been pushing a new product called Affiliate Resurrection.

Can You Make Big Money with Affiliate Resurrection

I’ve gotten emails with subject headings like:

If you go to the site, it is your classic Internet-Marketing-Product-from-Clickbank-ad:

• the Powerpoint video presentation, with a paid actor reading the slides, that goes on forever.
• Big bold hand-written text, with lots of red, yellow highlights, circles and arrows everywhere.
• Proof with screen shots and video of how much commissions he’s earned in just a few days using his method after starting with nothing.
• Exclamations about how the author is upset with all these get-rich-quick-with-internet-marketing schemes
• Pictures of the good life like the big house and some exotic vacation spot
• Image of fake software package
• Official-looking certificate detailing the risk free money back guarantee.
• Cutting the price from thousands of dollars to just $49
• “Free bonus”
• If you try to leave the site, a message asking you not to leave without taking a look at a special offer ( in this case, an opportunity to get on his list and get bombarded with more crap plus $10 off his product)
• If you decide to buy it, you get hit with a number of upsells (if the product is good by itself, why the need for all that other stuff?)

Here are the upsells, according to a poster on the warrior forum:

As for the product itself, the ad claims that this is software, but according to the posters at the warrior forum, it is just a series of 5 to 10 minutes videos. Here’s the description from one of the members:

The bottom line is that you will probably get more value from some of the free blogs and forums that are out there. Warrior forum is a good place as well as digital point.  It’s amazing that people actually make crap like this.
