Today i tried something new, something you might say was a teeny bit blackhat, greyhat if you will, and i have discovered something that i never really had to think about before; I think i am a teeny bit ethically conflicted.
Without going into too many details, basically what I’m doing is posting classified ads that leads people to a link to sign up to an adult personals site to see my (make believe) profile (which they wont cos it doesn’t exist!). Every time someone signs up i get a buck. The idea isn’t new to me, and I’m sure plenty of you already know what I’m talking about, i just haven’t really given it a shot before.
I am just testing with one ad and so far have made $1.35. in like 6 hours. huhu. You can see how this might be profitable if you do it on a large enough scale. However, since coming home and checking the gmail account i discovered emails from real and genuinely lonely men wanting to show me the delights of a certain major city. That’s when it hit me: these are real people and i have just scammed them.
OK well i haven’t actually scammed them, I’ve not stolen money from them and I won’t me spamming them or selling their details for cash money (honestly), i have more kind of just tricked them but nonetheless i can’t help but think that they would be thinking they have been scammed by a scammy scam artist and now I’m going to Hell.
What do you think? Maybe i shouldn’t check the email account and just watch the signups? My girlfriend actually helped me get over this a bit by saying that other people are scamming people way harder than this, which I agree cos I have actually been scammed out of considerable sums of cash in the past. Not just had my hopes of meeting a nice new girl on the internet dashed by some bastard on the other side of the planet 
.
So i’m working on a different approach. All i need to do is convince an 18yo bird to do a borderline soft core porn striptease that i can upload to youtube (possible put a donk on it dance video) with my affiliate link in and watch the $$$ roll in. Who doesn’t have plenty of them just waiting for you to ask them that question?!
Anyway, the world of internet marketing is much more than just posting classified ads but this is the first thing that has actually made me think of the people on the other side of the transaction. I will be attempting to write more about the ethical practices of Internet Marketers as i think it is quite an important topic and there is not much written about it already. It seems to make it you might actually have to leave your conscience somewhere safe and forget about it for a while.
Until next time!
