Darren & I understand what it is to put yourself out there personally in business and on a bad day it’s easy to believe that it’s a personal attack but in your case the cloak of negativity that you’re experiencing sometimes is simply concealing….jealousy. By nature, Brits don’t like ambition, expertise or success. Maybe we should formulate The British Dream much along the lines of The American Dream, anything being possible and being applauded for it.

See you on the 14th.
Eve.

Accept it.

You need to start acting like one (I mean this in a nice way). If you over self disclose you have already found there is a price to pay. You are more than capable of splitting the two, such as Paul Scholes, great on the pitch and when he’s not playing, where is he?
Keep it up, keep it professional, we don’t need to know about your holidays, kids, new cars, it breeds jealousy.

I think you know where I am coming from with my background and area of work.

I don’t usually comment but another IM guy I listen too quit 2 months ago cos of Salty Droid et al. Perry Belcher. No matter what his history his IM teachings are a great loss as would yours be, so I had to leave a comment, please pardon my french in this comment, hypocrites, back stabbers and bitches really get to me and it’s a big weakness of mine.

I should say unlike you, Perry had been in trouble with the law, which the blog picked up on, but that didn’t mean the stuff he taught on IM was rubbish. They called him a fraud because he taught internet success but was only worth $1 million. For christs sake, what percentage of people have assets of $1 million plus? It’s still pretty good going and I would hazard a guess he is worth more than the little bitches on salty droid.

I’ve heard Dan Kennedy start many talks with ‘Just cos the messenger is flawed, do not discount or ignore his message’ gary halbert went to jail for good reason, does that mean his teachings on copywriting and making money were crap? Dan K also went bankrupt and if the internet had been around when he was climbing his legendary ladder he may have had hate campaigns aswell – a former bankrupt teaching marketing and business techniques . . oh my god!(Gary Halbert even had a go at him in his newsletters because he was becoming too successful). Can you imagine if DK’s career was cut short by these sorts of people! Horror!

These sorts of people would of definately still been around back then, but they had no way to tell others about the shit that passes for there opinions. As you get bigger Mark it’s only going to get worse for you, but bigger you will get, i hope anyway, you deserve it.

Your past in terms of SEO has been exceptional so your integrity is untouchable as Vince said. I don’t think you would ever quit this stuff cos I know how much you enjoy it and I know you are way too intelligent to listen to negative comments and people. It can be so depressing though to think someone you hardly/don’t know has taken time out of their day to slag you off. I mean Whyd o they bother? It’s ridiculous and if they knew anything about marketing they would know that slagging off competitors never works, it just creates mistrust for the whole industry. Pepsi and Coca Cola failed when using this kind of marketing and so will these pricks. Where the hell do they get the time from, they are some sad b8stards for sure.

So incase I didn’t get my point across! I think you should carry on :-)Your results are what counts not a profile of you on salty droid or a Google Certificate (you know you will of gone up a level when you do get a section in salty droid by the way!)
All the best

The blogger at the Salty Droid site, saltydroid.info is a bloke who should be reported and stopped at all costs. His negativity, defamation and slander of the names of some of the most reputable internet marketers is a disgrace to this industry. A spurned and unsuccessful marketer with nothing else better to do, Salty Droid or Jason as they call him, has found that it’s his only way of attracting attention.

Harlan Kilstein is a very reputable copywriter who’s written for some of the largest product launches and his marketing skills are second to none. I’ve found value in several of his products. Perry Belcher is another great marketer with excellent products who was stopped by this horror story of a loser Salty Droid.

Please don’t give this horrible ugly Salty Droid any more time or mention. He needs to be eradicated from the internet and universe.

Your down-to-earth and honest approach is what appeals to me and I’m sure many others.

I don’t see you as an internet marketing teacher. I see you as someone who is also in business, like me and who knows a lot more about something than me and is willing to share that knowledge. The information you provide is relevant, topical, witty and approachable.

Just keep on doing what you are doing.

Keep doing what you’re doing Mark! You’re great at what you do, and if people want to attack you for that (in the most disgustingly vile ways possible) then there’s nothing that can be said for them apart from they’re SCUM.

A postcard slogan I read years and years ago kinda sums up this situation: ‘Don’t let the B*STARDS get you down’ :)
