If you checked out the Google Sniper 2.0 thread in the Product Reviews and Ratings section over at the Warriorforum you will probably see a bunch of negative comments.

What do you think all the fuss is over?

Is the product a piece of crap?

No, the consensus seems to be that it is a solid product and would be a great place to start for Newbies.

Then what’s all the fuss?

There seems to be 3 issues of contention.  Let’s take them one at a time

1.  George promised free updates when you bought google sniper 1.  Users think the should have gotten gs2 for free.    I didn’t buy gs1 so I am not sure about the claims for free updates, but if George promised free updates, the gs1 owners should have gotten gs2 free.  Really gs2 is just a update to the old google sniper, nothing really worth calling new.

2. Many people bought the product for the pre-release price of $67.  As you can see here the price is now $47.  Ouch, way to screw over your buyer George.  If you noticed during the pre-sale that the $67 price was not working out as well as expected, you should have at least fired off emails to your entire list and your JV partners saying you were going to drop the price to $47 and anyone who bought it for $67 would get a refund for the $20 difference.  Hell, I would have let the pre-sell people have it for 37 bucks and refunded them $30 just to garner some good will and show I had some care for the concerns of my customers.  Hey George, you might want to check out my post Put the Customer First not the Cash.

3.  The income claims of George in his video don’t appear to be from his “sniper” sites.    As someone pointed out in the thread, it appears one of the clickbank accounts he shows is from his traffic siphon account.  Traffic siphon was a product he launched last year.  They also question the income and traffic claims from the wedding speeches site he shows in the video.  Personally, I never believe any income claims from any of these launches.  The income they claim is never going to be seen by 99.99% of the people who buy the system.  I don’t doubt that you can make a good living from the system itself, but it seems that to “take it to the next level” like these guys you have to do a IM product launch have a bunch of JVs with some guru’s and not “work their system” as they laid out.

Personally, I didn’t buy google sniper 1 and as such have no ‘sniper’ sites out there.  I can show you my clickbank account showing 0 sales to prove it.  I would probably just fake these screenshots though =)

What’s the common man’s opinion? If you didn’t buy Google Sniper 1 (which was selling at $77)  then Google Sniper 2.0 is a bargain at $47

I have been noticing a trend lately.  It seems many internet marketers are putting the cash before the customer.

What do I mean by this?

Well, the marketer is just trying to sell something and doesn’t really care what they have to do to separate you, the customer, from your cash.  They don’t really care about you.  They don’t want to help you succeed.  They just want to milk what they can from you with their latest promotion and then move on to the next promotion.

You may recognize these people.  They are the ones that send you email after email promoting a new product, yet they never send you any useful information.  Nothing about “hey thanks for buying my new internet marketing product, here are some tips on making the most out of it,” or “hey I had a few questions about this technique so I made a video explaining it better.”

No, they just keep cranking out promotion after promotion.  They keep making these videos showing how much cash they have rolling into their clickbank account from this new system (and many of these appearing to be faked or showing sales from their IM promotions and not from using their system).

These are the people claiming you have to order now because there are only 3 copies left at this “special” price, yet you come back a week later and miraculously there are still 3 copies left.

Maybe some of these “gurus” should stop and look at why they promoting these programs.  Are they really trying to help their customers? Or are they just trying to line their pockets.

Now, I don’t want to lump all of these “gurus” into group.  There are some good guys out there.  Try to find them and follow them.  This may help you with weeding out the good from the bad:
