Thank you so much!!! I received an email from Angela directing me to her website. It sounded too good to be true, so I did some research. It took a while, but I found this blog and am so glad I did. I was about to put up the money for this ‘opportunity’, but because I found you, I will not. Thank you!

Thanks for the kind comments, Linda. I appreciate it.

Readers, you really should go visit Linda’s site - she has a world of wonderful information about virtual assistance, marketing and more. If we’re lucky, maybe I’ll be able to talk her into an interview! I’ll try!

Thanks for letting me know, Vicki - I had no idea that ads like that could come in from adsense, without being able to choose. It’s interesting, that by simply trying to “monetize” your blog– nothing wrong with that– you open the door to what could be a world of troubles. I have been on the line over the same issue, torn sometimes between a program/ad that converts very well, but then does not deliver a legitimate opportunity to the buyer. You did the right thing, and there are lots of really good, honest products and services that you can promote with a whole heart. Best of luck in your ventures!

FYI to all my web visitors - I have removed the Adsense ad coding from my website so I do not risk offending or misleading anyone with questionable ads. It is my desire to make visiting SmartWoman Guides a safe and fun experience. I appreciate everyone’s feedback as to how I am doing.

Thanks.

@Linda. Thank you for the feedback. Those ads are auto generated based on the content of my posts via Google AdSense. I will take action today to block that particular ad. I agree with your sentiment completely and feel the same way you do about sleeze and the spinmasters who try to take advantage of people.

I have struggled for some time with Adsense and I think for now I will take it down until I can come to terms with exactly how to provide meaningful resources while avoiding the scam artists. Thanks much for your comments. I appreciate it. I apologize that, through association, I was discounted. My sincere hope is that I can help cut through some of the crud you’ve mentioned and provide substantial help and value.

Hi, I saw your website via a comment on Rick Butt’s blog. I am interested in work-from-home and virtual assistance, and always on the lookout for good, real and intelligent programs.

I clicked on your “generous sponsor” Angela Christianson’s “Process Free Samples” program, and went through the sales pitch to see how it worked. I spent a big $27 on the secret program details, and took a look through that document.

This is pretty schlocky, and typical that it is aimed at desperate people. It is stupid beyond belief, that you could follow her joke of a system and make money in 9 minutes.

I am going to write a review of “Angela”’s tripe - which if you google her name you will find out lots more. It is really a shame that some people paid $197 for this scam. I was fascinated by the squeeze techniques and all that, something for the swipe file, but I would hope most people can see right through that “virtual chat” baloney.

Furthermore I could see that the redirect was through goldwares.com, which is Shawn Casey’s sleaze operation. I got calls from those bozos for at least four years. they wanted me to borrow 10K on a credit card so they could invest it for me in wonderful make-money schemes like this one.

Want to blend spirituality with meaningful work? Take Angela off your website, if you don’t want to deal with unhappy people or the realization that some stuff is just too mean to do to people who need real help.
