I just hate them because they don't tell anything about what they actually want to sell me. Normally before I'm paying up for something I want to know everything about the product but these long ads with testimonials and self-pride just keep telling nothing. And there are so many of them. If I join some facebook to read some good posts there is somebody who shows up and sends me mysterious messages with links to their sites which again tells nothing...And if you question those people they get angry.

I love the waffle metaphor... "Wake up." We can all use a bit of that. :) P.S. I love the waffle metaphor… “Wake up.” We can all use a bit of that. :)

You're doing something really good here--you have clear-eyed insight on issues too many people are blind about and are sharing it, and I hope it's reaching people. Keep it up. You're a good person. With respect, Alice Hello,

This is usually accompanied by tiny text somewhere saying that if you don't cancel within 7 days $xx.xx amount will be cahrged to your credit card on a regular basis. So by handing over your credit card details (bad move) to pay a $1 or $2 shipping charge you are signing up to a "hidden continuity" scheme whereby you get whacked for a much larger amount on a regular basis, unless you cancel. And cancelling is often almost impossible even if you were eagle eyed enough to notice the hidden continuity clause in the first place! Most people don't and only realise when they get hit for the larger amount. By the way, interesting adsense ad (ads by Google) on the right of this page: Convert £5 on £199 Easy Step by Step to learn how to Make Money during this 2009 www.Make2.Me ????? Somehow I doubt that someone with such terrible grammar is going to make me money. :) To #5 (Free) you should add the Free* “*only pay S+H” (shipping and handling) trick.
