Well, the online marketer in question does solve a real problem for _a lot_ of companies. It's about outranking negative review websites on Google. His particular example is a travel agency (I think), and there are many similar companies. He basically claims to have a method that can be employed for free, and the companies just need to pay 49 pounds to watch that part of the video. http://www.brandcurrency.co.uk/ http://www.brandcurrency.co.uk/

- notahacker 16y agoI'm midly intrigued given the lack of obvious astroturfing when Googling for the Brand Currency site. usually its pretty transparent what makes self-appointed internet marketing "gurus" successful from the amount of shill blogs with affiliate links pointing to their latest eBook.
