in Wordpress Trademark Scammers? on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
I agree with both Andy's and Tony on this one. Sherman Hu is a stand up guy (can't speak for Brandon though) and he surely doesn't sell "WP snake oil".
I love WordPress, but seeing such a statement come from you, Matt, leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth. Maybe you should take a moment and talk to Sherman. Get to know him, and maybe review his product for yourself.
I have access to them, and they are light-years beyond what a newbie (like me, at one time) could get in the support forums or Codex. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the support forums or Codex suck or anything near that; it's awesome when you have at least a little experience under your belt.
From a consumer standpoint, I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for the service Sherman has provided -- a service I cannot get from the support forums or Codex. He put a lot of time, attention, and detail into his product. He even continues to put his valuable time into it by helping his customers, usually on an individual basis.
Sherman caters to a different demographic, not the geekerati (I like that word) and the geekerati should have some respect for that. Not everyone is born with a microchip in their brain.
And if he were to offer it up for free, it would probably be wasted, because it would end up buried in the deluge of information in both the support forums and Codex (which is in sore need of some cohesion and organization); what good is it to anyone if they can't even find it?
And, Matt, as for affiliate marketing, most of which you consider "distasteful", you obviously have no or very little knowledge of the practice or concept, otherwise you would realize not all affiliate marketers are spammers. Actually, very few are, but you only see the spammers because they're the most visible.
Maybe you should take the time to learn about what you're rebelling against, lest you become the pot calling the kettle black.

Thanks so much Tinu.
That is some excellent advice and something I will definitely consider each time I'm presented with an opportunity to purchase "yet another guide" on how to do something.

Hi Tinu,
I was wondering if you've read or had any thoughts on Tagging Secrets by Lisa Ginger. It looks as though it contains similar information, but has a smaller price tag (it's only $47). Your thoughts are appreciated.
