The Glenn Canady Gorilla Website Marketing Course Review

A few days ago I had an email from Jeremy Cobb at Advanced Business Development. He had spotted that my web site I developed with them as part of Glenn Canady’s course had disappeared from the top 1000 results on Google.

I haven’t got the time to cover our brief exchange of emails at the moment, but it resulted in Advanced Business Development making me an ‘offer’ of another few telephone sessions with them, providing that I first told the BBB that everything was now OK, and take down this site, BEFORE Advanced Business Development do a thing.

Yes, that right. They want me to tell the BBB that I am withdrawing my complaint about Advanced Business Development, and they want me to take down this site. All of this is before they have done anything. And what do I get in return for doing all this ? I’m being offered the promise of another few of the same telephone sessions that got me into this mess. Sounds tempting doesn’t it ?

I might have got taken for a mug once, but I’m not falling for it a second time !

I am prepared to listen to sensible offers from Advanced Business Development and/or Glenn Canady, but I’m not prepared to have my intelligence insulted like that.

I have made it very clear to Jeremy Cobb that whatever happens this site stays up. I will document in full what has happened, and what is happening. If they put things right then I will say so loudly and clearly on this site. I asked for a refund of my money, minus the cost of the things that I identified that they had delivered to me. They refused this.

As far as Jeremy Cobb’s offer goes, this is what I had to say :

You (and I mean you) provide what you are offering, BUT, the blog stays
up. I have documented the whole thing and will continue to do so. You
have my word that if I am provided with assistance that is worthwhile
then I will document that and tell people EXACTLY how good or bad things
have been. If I end up with a web site that is pulling in anything
like the sort of money that I was originally led to believe that I was
going to be making then I will go back to the BBB and tell them that AB
Development have resolved the issue. Basically, deliver what I was
promised and I’ll make sure people know.

I haven’t heard from them since.

I stumbled across seoradio.com yesterday. I’d heard about it some time ago in one of the many internet marketing newsletters that I recieve. I’d never bothered to look at it. I get swamped by so many internet marketing newsletters that I’ve barely got time to scan the newsletters never mind visit the sites that they talk about.

When I stumbled across the site yesterday I spotted the title for one of their shows on Feb. 15th - “Banned by Google? Alternative Traffic Sources”. Who was the guest that was presenting this ? Yes, you’ve guessed it - Glenn Canady.

This was the introduction for the broadcast :

In this show, we spoke with Glenn Canady of Gorilla Website Marketing. Glenn is an experience Intenet Marketer who was recently banned by Google, for reasons that still are not clear. In this show, Glenn talks about this experience, and offers strategies and advice on ways to generate traffic to your web site without relying on the search engines.

So, Glenn Canady is still trying to make out that he doesn’t know why he was banned. Maybe he would like to refresh his very short memory by reading my previous posts :

Glenn Canady - Banned from Google and Glenn Canady - more about his banning.

I’ve got to hand it to the guy, he’s trying desperately to use the full force of his reality distortion field to try and put a positive spin on getting banned from Google. How long can he keep this farce up ?

I mentioned in a previous post that it’s not possible (well I couldn’t find a way) to import comments from Blogger to Wordpress. What I’ve done is to save the original pages, and I will populate the ‘Messages of Support’ section with a copy and paste of the comments that were left, along with a link to a copy of the old page so that they can be verified.

It’s certainly interesting to see others come forward and say that they also lost substantial amounts of money to Glenn Canady and/or Advanced Business Development. Their money, according to them, handed over on the basis of claims for the course similar to those that were made to me
