Anthony Hamerton of S & H Promotions was kind enough to drop me a line and point me to the following<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Carla<\/p>\n

Hmm… you might recognize that picture from the Super Affiliate Handbook homepage. It's me in front of my computer.<\/p>\n

According to DVDDropship however, my name is Carla James and I'm married to Ian.<\/p>\n

Wow! I don't even know<\/em> Ian!<\/p>\n

Too, I apparently like DVDDropship enough to have written the merchant a testimonial.<\/p>\n

Duh.<\/p>\n

Actually, I'm still Ros and I've never heard of DVDDropship before getting Anthony's note.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could have contacted the site to have it removed, but I thought you'd appreciate actually seeing what you've always known — not all online marketers operate with integrity.<\/p>\n

Too, I'd like to help potential buyers of this product by highlighting the fact that DVDDropShip acts in a fraudulent manner<\/strong>, and is therefore not to be trusted.<\/p>\n

I do that by naming them in our blog (DVDDropShip) and then hope that our blog entry comes high in the search results for their name.<\/p>\n

Let's hope, shall we? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Posting testimonials on your site – whether it is a product site or an affiliate site – is a good thing. Just make sure that they are REAL.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
