I recognize myself here. At least until I started to stop complaining, get my head into gear and take some positive action. It´s far too easy to blame Google and everyone else for your failures, but at the end oi the day it´s up to you.

I recently read your “5 Critical PPC Mistakes” and put your tips into action. Wow! what a difference it made to my Adwords campaigns.

I´m still not making huge amounts of cash, but at least I´m not losing money anymore.

Keep writing Amit.

Dear Amit,

as an avid reader of your blog and a happy owner of your e-books I have some questions for you.
1. Do you believe that affiliate marketing will continue to grow at an exponential rate or is it already saturated?
2. What can small time affiliates do to compete in the ppc market against the big fish who gets a greater percentage of sales prices?
3. Which color do you prefer, blue or pink?
4. What do you like more, rainbows or sunsets?
5. Have you ever been to a bar called The Blue Oyster?

wow. another major controversy. This season indeed has been hilarious. So many controversies.
Me personally visits Amit’s blog once a week and WF once a week. To be fair WF also has some good info, though majority of ppl there are nubes like ne other forum on the net. That’s the difference between a forum and blog.

Overall at the end of the day everyone is free to have an opinion. Amit shouldn’t complaint about ppl slamming him and shoemoney (that makes him a natural target for anyone who is against shoemoney), also Amit himself is whining abt WF.

Same goes for Nicky and all WF loyals. Dude you people bashed Amit big time always. Now if he subtly bashed WF once, what a big deal. Take a chill pill.

And at the end, I really find it funny, two great internet marketers of different ideology Amit and Nicky doing a public war of word about who is living at better homes. I presume last I had similar war of words when I was six year old.

Hi Impartial Observer,

huuum… I would hardly call that an endorsement, only in directly. My point was not to say that wickedfire is total garbage, you can get useful info there as on other forums.

Its just that on MOST affiliate forums, including wickedfire, a lot of people spends ridiculous amounts of time complaining and whining when they could be focused on productive income producing activities.

That’s why I personally completely cut off forums. Although I still recommend a good quality paid forum for newbies. You can learn a lot from them.

Amit,

You don’t truly believe that WickedFire is so worthless. You endorsed Audrey’s recommendation of WickedFire here, buddy:

You have a possibly valid reason for bashing WF. But those readers who remember this post, are definitely going to be confused.

WickedFire Members!
I’m a lurker, I get a lot out of the forums. Hopefully i’ll have something not already repeated a thousand times to contribute to the forums.

Amit!
Your blog’s one of my favorites, but I was a little surprised you took a swipe at wickedfire. A lot of what’s on that forum is crap n00bs complaining, but it’s probably the most resourceful website for affiliate and internet marketing that there is. Just gotta sift through the garbage…

I also think wickedfire members are over reacting. The overlying theme here is ‘if you could be doing something productive, don’t waste your time on the easy to lounge around places’

NickyCakes can spend 80% of his time on wickedfire, because he has successful campaigns that are already on autopilot for 80% of the time.
I think NickyCakes would admit that he didn’t start out spending 80% of his time on wickedfire.
