It’s heart-warming when you read some blogs like this from an experienced marketer.

I was at a forum the other day and felt discouraged when I discovered that some guys were employing and achieving huge successes with black hat methods and making stash of cash from Adsense with these methods by creating hundreds of websites. Yes that’s hundreds! In fact, they were really boastful about it.

When I read many of those comments, you can imagine my shoulders dropping with weakened knees, sinking back into my couch. It was as if I was living in the 18th Century with some cranked technology and earning droplets from one of my sites that run Adsense in comparison to those guys.

Reading Brad’s blog shows that hard work may lose the battle, but still wins the war. And that’s what counts.

Thanks Brad and thanks Ken.

Brad strikes again with his seemingly ever expanding marketing intellegence. Everything I’ve ever heard Brad say, in person or recorded, has been genuinely focussed on ‘real’ customer value, and real good business practice. Great diagram… certainly does just ’sum it up’

Brad’s message is good news for those of us who lack a “fake” gene. It also pays homage to honest plodding – faithfully put all your white hat marketing ducks in a row and eventually you’ll succeed. What a relief!

It is noteworthy that most who are very successful, focus on basic principles.

A few years ago, I listened to Ken Giddens talking about search engines being programmed to rank sites higher that are relevant and natural.

Brad’s picture is a basic principle of what happens when search engines recognize relevant and natural.

Great message Brad!
