Kmcgraw Last weekend I was thinking about putting up some review sites to beef up my affiliate campaigns and, in doing my research on how to structure my sites correctly, I ran across this article by someone named Penny Marshall.
Basically, the article quotes some other guy’s article about how Google recently dropped the quality scores for Adwords on affiliate review sites across the board and offers some advice on how to counter the Google slap.
August 27th, 2009 Kmcgraw Amazon Mechanical Turk, or mturk and Cha Cha are two companies that provide genuine work from home jobs. However, you are not an employee of either company, rather you are an independent contractor hired to do specific tasks.

As an internet marketer, your job is not so much to “sell” as to make the information that your niche audience is seeking available to them. If you provide quality content about your niche, you’ll get conversions without having to “sell.”

Well, in his own job searching, he finds this ad on Craigslist: Web Blogger/Article Writer and he sends it to me. Since blogging and article writing are what I do, I respond to this, thinking I might be able to do the work from here and it will be another income source….can’t have too many of those, right?
The first response I got was this email:
