This is freakin’ hilarious!

Or, how not to be a complete moron with your $400.00.

Andrew of AndrewTalk, ordered a ReviewMe from John Chow. All of this was prior to scraping John’s content and then shucking out $400.00 for a paid review.

Instead of refusing to do the review, John takes this guy’s money and does it, and goes all out. To take this guy down, John rips him a new one, and rightfully so. Unfortunately, we cannot see the site now, because Andrew took it down. I guess it was how John explained it:

This is a blog about online business. It is presumably own by someone name Andrew. AndrewTalk is a good example on how not to do a blog.

Ouch, that had to hurt…lol

I can’t imagine not having your own content, then being dumb enough to order a review from someone you stole content from. This is a big no no. If you are trying to live in the “make money online” niche, then please be original. At least have some design skill and try to have some creativity. All kinds of traffic poured into that blog today, courtesy of the money spent for the review. Unfortunately for Andrew, no good came from it.

Money wasted from a ‘make money online’ blog. I guess we all have to learn the hard way? Or not. A good followup post would be about blogging ethics.

    Hi Roberta,

    That’s amazing…reminds me of those “stupid criminal” videos they show on tv sometimes…makes you wonder what this guy was thinking. ?!

    Hehe, what a looser ;)

    Well that’s what the poor sap gets for not being original. And then add the stupidity to boot for getting the person you stole content from to do your review.

    I cannot believe he just paid $400 to have the absolute piss taken out of him! As stupid as he is/was, you can’t help but feel sorry for him. Either way, karma is karma and he got his!

    I guess if all he wanted was traffic, he must have succeeded because I know I clicked to look at his site. There must be some motive behind it because people can’t possibly be that dumb.

    I think the arguement between the guy from romania and that other guy in the comments was pretty funny as well…Romania IS a 4th world country lol j/k :-)

    You know what, though. We are never going to forget Andrew Talk. It’s been a week and I still remember his name :)
