The Glenn Canady Gorilla Website Marketing Course Review

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

After the last post I realised that there were a few things that I forgot to mention. In Blogger comments were allowed by registered users. In Wordpress, comment, trackback and pingback spam are major problems. Wordpress 1.5 handles it pretty well by putting any first time commenters into moderation. In other words the comment will not appear until I review it and approve it.

I’ve added a couple of plugins to beef up the protection as well, which means that all comments etc. will go into moderation. So, if you post a comment and it doesn’t appear then please don’t assume that it has gone into a black hole, or that I am trying to supress comments on this site. That is NOT the case. All non-spam comments will be checked and posted, unless of course it is a mindless string of four-lettered abuse or something , in which case the ‘bad words’ list will probably blacklist it.

The other thing I forgot in my last post was to add something to the ‘to do’ list for the site, and that is to put back the links that were on the previous Blogger built site. There were only about 3 or 4 on the links page, but I want to try and put them back on the same page if possible, otherwise I’ll have to notify the webmasters and let them know I’ve moved their links. If you say you are going to put up a link and keep it up then you should do it.

I remember Glenn Canady saying that was an important thing. I think I’ve covered this topic before, but I noticed that there seems to be a renewed flurry of activity on the following thread :

BEWARE !!! CHECK YOUR LINK PARTNERS (Been cheated by those 5star/gorilla people amongst others)

It’s from a lot of very angry webmasters that Glenn Canady had exchanged links with. They discovered that he had dropped their links with no warning or explanation. Which is a bit rich coming from the guy who wrote the Ten Commandments of Linking. Here is commandment number 10 in Glenn’s own words :

#10) Thou Shall Not Take Down Your Link Partner’s Link

If you give somebody a link, then don’t delete it when you think
nobody’s looking! I’ve seen people try to pull one over on me by
getting a link, then deciding to delete their entire link
directory a few months later! These people must think that a
link directory is just something that you do for a while and then
delete when you have some links or something. Linking is not
just something you do for a bit and then throw away - it’s a
total way of life dude! When you’re doing linking right, you’re
building a valuable resource that will get lots of traffic.

Hows that for hypocrisy ?
