And what kind of fool do they take me for?

What kind of idiot puts up a website GUARANTEEING I’ll make hundreds, thousands, or tens-of-thousands of dollars if I join their p-p-program for free?

I’ve been surfing the Internet I don’t usually visit, thanks to having joined a traffic exchange to get a little exposure for a couple of my personal websites. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. No, I mean that — “I Can’t Believe It.” There are lovely-looking website (some of them, anyway), with pretty music, flasshy flash graphics, enticing videos and words that just drip and ooze with unbelievable promises of wealth and fortune.

And there are thousands of people promoting these sites, in the futile hope that they’ll get rich from sucking people into these money pits.

It’s just downright disgusting, yet people are apparently falling for it left and right. The pity is that they might get a referral or two, earn $10 or $20 and think they’re on their way to becoming independently wealthy.

It’s sad.
