Now this went from being an interesting experiment in people reading URL’s to a demonstration of the dark side of human behavior.

Let me give a quick message to the pinheads who emailed to share their self-righteous opinions with me about what a “BAD” person I am all of a sudden and how they “Lost all respect for me”:

THERE IS NO A at the end of US.

REPEAT…. THERE IS NO A at the end of US.

Here is the story…

Michael Campbell wrote a very nice review of my Mini-Site Creator Course… I was very flattered.

He is definitely an expert whose opinion we should all take very seriously (good and bad, he knows what he’s talking about).

His review was 100% TOTALLY unsolicited… I didn’t ask for it, he just provided it out of the clear blue sky.

Side Note: you should sign up for his newsletter at

Back to the story…

I was busier than a one-armed paper-hanger today, but wanted to share his review (it’s actually and excellent EXAMPLE of a GREAT way to write a balanced review).

Sooooooo….

I put the review up on what I think is a VERY cool domain… I didn’t think it was a big deal… and it WASN’T… until a few pinheads decided to say I was “misleading” people (there were only a few… but here’s a special message just for you, “Learn to read you self-righteous morons!”).

My sole intention was just to see what would happen… if a domain could influence the clickthroughs… but I was also testing a short, sweet email message format too.

I wanted to see what effect a review landing page would have on my own audience for my own product… but written by someone else.

I actually plan to use the domain mostly for pay-per-click traffic(NOT on my list)… but the bottom line at noon today was I just wanted to get it up on the web and SHARE a POSITIVE with the group for a change!

Bottom Line: (and then this is the END of this issue, which is a NON-issue blown out of proportion by idiots)

1. I just threw it up on that domain to see if the domain name would get more clicks (a bit of an experiment)… no deception intended… but it DOES prove that we need to READ the urls we click and not to ASSUME what the HELL we ARE clicking.

2. I was psyched about Michael’s review and wanted to share it.

3. I discovered some very interesting results about managing perception and influencing clicks with the actual domain name and more…

I’ll be publishing an audio about it in the near future.

Stay tuned

We got a letter recently that I think you should read
(below).

Why?

Because it was written by one of the most respected
educators on the entire Internet.

His name is Michael Campbell, and he’s the author of several
best selling ebooks, including “Clickin’ It Rich” and
“Revenge of the MiniNet”

This guy has a solid reputation as a straight shooter and
he’s been successfully selling online for almost 10 years.

Here’s what Michael had to say about this website

“There’s an old adage… you get what you pay for. Never has
it been more true than in the case of Mini Site Creator.

This video series is painful to watch… not for me, but I
feel “his” pain. Jim Edwards must have invested hundreds of
hours into this course. I remember having to learn all this
stuff the hard way, by trial and error, making lots of
mistakes along the way.

Nowadays, I take the basic mechanics of website design for
granted. I think nothing of popping off graphics in
Photoshop, or uploading sites with FTP. Making webpages is
second nature. It’s so easy to blast off a dozen or so per
hour…

But not so for the beginner, dropped off in a land of info
overload and overwhelm… which leads to distraction, which
leads to inaction… heads up… all of you! If you’ve been
buying stuff and hoarding and not really doing anything with
the information you’ve collected, this course will connect
all the dots for you.

This is not just a course on how to create minisites as the
title would have us believe. It is the most complete html
tutorial that I’ve ever seen. You’re shown how to use the
free Mozilla Composer to create your sites, starting from
scratch, and assuming you know absolutely nothing about html
or making web pages.

Some courses tell you to – figuratively speaking – go boil a
pot of water. This course assumes nothing. Jim tells you
what a pot is, where the kitchen is, what water is, how to
put the water in the pot, then put it on the stove, how to
turn on the stove and when to turn it off. That’s the kind
of attention to detail we’re talking about here.

The focus of the course is creating minisites, specifically
landing pages and squeeze pages where you drive your PPC
(pay per click) traffic. But it goes way beyond that, and
you’ll certainly be set free from the land of templates and
site builders after watching this course.

Unlike other beginners’ courses which gloss over the html
part, or kindly refer you to online tutorials, Jim shows
every little conceivable step.

And I do mean everything. Starting with downloading and
installing Mozilla on your hard drive, you’re shown
formatting basics like how to make text bold and centered.
Then from there, we’re slowly lead -in baby steps – all the
way to crafting a sales page, with an ecommerce system,
complete with order page, thank you page and a series of
follow-up autoresponders.

There’s a video for everything. And it’s very well done.

When you complete this course, you’ll be able to make good
minisites, or websites of any kind, from scratch, with
confidence, and be able to whip through hosting, ftp, domain
names, making graphics, autoresponders, Clickbank set up,
and just about everything else you can think of.

(Even I learned a few things, like Jim’s secret “Ultimate
Opt-in Subscription Box” which I plan on implementing on my
own sites

The only downside of this course are the production values.
Compared to the some of the slick and professionally
polished tutorials that are out there, the Mini Site Creator
course is real meat ‘n potatoes kind of stuff.

Jim sometimes messes up and pauses during the videos when
something doesn’t go as planned. He then wonders out loud
why one thing happened when he expected another.

But you know what? He’s human, and that’s exactly the sense
you get when you’re watching this course. It’s just like
being in a live classroom where stuff happens and the
teacher needs to adapt. Although it’s a little quirky at
first, you easily get used to it and it’s almost like having
Jim sitting beside you, guiding you through every step of
the html process.

If you’re prepared to put in the time to learn, this course
will break you free from the use of templates and site
builders, into total html freedom. You’d pay ten times more
to learn this stuff without help. And I’m glad someone
finally and the strength and determination to put together
the most complete web training course -for would be
marketers – that I’ve ever reviewed.

To quote Benjamin Franklin, “If a man empties his purse into
his head, no one can take it away from him. An investment of
knowledge always pays the best interest.”

This course – my friends – is a heck of an investment and
money well spent. Empty this information into your mind and
you’re never likely to go hungry again.
