Who knew those "news" pages were fake?

Anyway, nice list of marketing methods the FTC's probably been paying attention to (besides the "news" sites they shut down earlier) http://www.pcworld.com/article/24930...the_traps.html

You'd be surprised how often people fall for them, as well as "flogs". I pretty much use a flog for a landing page whenever I purchase traffic. They aren't as easy money as they used to be but I still do better with a flog landing page than any other type...

I wonder why they haven't cracked down on Fox News yet. There is no news site as fake that I've ever seen.

It's like those "articles" in Muscle and Fitness, that turn out to be a 10 page ad for Muscle Nitro Max Extreme 2000. Someone will think all that research is true and buy the shit.
