So, I’m helping out Leslie Rohde with a project and he needed some info on ClickBank…and it has been years since I’ve done any affiliate marketing with ClickBank so when I got an email from Eric Rockefeller about an affiliate guide for ClickBank, I jumped on it.
I wasn’t expecting much, but anything at this point would have been a plus.
So, I placed my order and was directed to this URL: http://www.ericrockefeller.com/rsdownload/rockstar_download20192_0.html
No big deal. That’s even happened to me. Mistakes happen. I sent a brief note to Eric asking for the correct URL … and it’s late so I planned on hearing from him in the morning.
I check my email and there it was … slime city …
So, their “system” caught my fraud attempt at a price that was TOO low. And now I will be reported to PayPal…
In other words, nothing happened that was fraud, this was their “pre-planned” marketing strategy to make people think that there was a problem with the eBook being sold at too low of a price.
Give me a break. Do we look this stupid? I’ll chalk up the $27.00 as lost money and move on. Don’t trust marketers that revert to these types of tactics. There are better people to associate with.
Needless to say, I will “pass” on their game. I won’t be replying to the email with a pathetic “I didn’t commit any fraud, I bought it, here is my receipt, please give me the priceless eBook for $27.00 that is supposed to change my life….”
Blah.
The main reason I started the SEO Revolution was out of frustration. Frustration at all of the lies and misconceptions that are posted in forums, given as advice in teleconferences, and even taught in live workshops. "So why didn't all of this work?" " Why wasn't my site successful?" " Why am I still stuck in a rut?" 
Hi Jerry,
Sad to see that kind of c**p still happens online.
Just wondering when the doors of SEO Revolution might be opening again? I’ve been reading your stuff for a while now and would like to learn more.
Cheers

Hi Jerry
A great tool for clickbank is CBEngine.com where you can search out top categories or top keywords.
It will give you earnings, commissions, etc. and costs about $9 per quarter for the pro version which holds most of the info you’d want.
Great tool, and highly recommended.

Niall,
Just make sure you are on the waiting list. No time frame scheduled for a reopening.
I registered for their mail list with a one-off (bait) email address, specially created for that purpose and not used anywhere else.
Received on that address a bunch of emails, which contained MALWARE, which, a few WEEKS later was recognized by an antivirus vendor as NEW, so that they developed an update.
Certainly an internet marketing / SEO scam. Given the scale and results, it seems to be quite sophisticated. They are getting smarter…
