Advanced Business Development - bad advice ?
After busting a gut over Xmas 2003 / New Year 2004 trying to get Zeus to get up to the 100 minimum keywords that are needed for it to be trained properly (according to Cyber Robotics, the people who wrote it) I got the following email from Vicky at Advanced Business Development.

Chris,
Even though you are not as far as we would like, go ahead and run your Zeus
to find 50 themesites. Let’s see the response before we continue, now that
you trained him a bit more.
Let me know if you have questions.

Now bear in mind that it was Vicky’s job to mentor me. It was her job to make sure that I was being given the right information and doing things the right way. Cyber-Robotics have coded into Zeus all sorts of warnings that you NEED to train it with a minimum of 100 web sites for Zeus to operate properly. I’d already explained to Vicky that I had 67 and was finding it impossible to progress the way she was asking me to, and that the ’smartness’ indicator kept resetting itself, making the task I’d been assigned impossible !
To my mind, there were problems from day 1 with Glenn Canady’s Gorilla Web Site Marketing Course, and the way in which Advanced Business Development (mis)handled it. But the advice I was being given here flew in the face of logic. I had agreed before I started this course that I would do everything they said, and do it exactly as they said to do it. I’m a man of my word, and that is exactly what I did. I had been determined that should any problems or failure arise from the course then it would not be as a result of me.
