Losing Sleep over Somnapure’s “Free” Trial

Work From Home on Google Affiliate Scam List

After ranting about Pulse360, Adblade, and MSNBC, I looked around to see just how much replication is going on with the current breed of affiliate “make money at home on Google” websites. As anticipated, it’s rampant. I went to consumerfinancereviews.com, which was the target of the MSNBC post, and Googled one of the comments to see how many websites contained that same text.

MSNBC and Pulse360: Advertising Collusion

The question as I sit down to write this is just how much I want to pick this stuff apart. I’ve already had my tirade about Pulse360.
