I have been bombarded with offers for Keyword Elite 2.0 today, but refuse to purchase a product with forced continuity.
A free trial is great. BUT, Brad should send a notice to people who use his free trial offer to see if they want to to become members of his continuity program rather than bang their credit card after 30 days. Kinda sleezy, isn't it?
now i can do more good things
Thanks for mentioning my bonus package.
I have taken your recommendation into account and have added some legal notices to be "clickbank compliant".
I also plan to use a bonus delivery script as soon as possible (I have one but didn't have the time to learn how to use it yet).
Great post!

Get real and stop these stupid "pile them high" bonuses which overload people with stuff they don't want or need but feel guilty about not looking at.
Worse for me is when I see someone I promoted as an affiliate a few weeks or months later offer the same product (in which I created value) given as a bonus to another product.
Ultimately if they can generate enough income from the various upsells, maybe even up to 3x the income compared to the front end, then it isn't far off from the income they might receive on average from selling one of their own $97 - affiliate fees memberships, or a $500-$600 product.
They can also make their own backend offers.
Does it devalue products? Possibly, though remember that the people offering huge bonuses have huge lists to leverage, so they can offset costs better.
Overloaded? It really depends on how overloaded people already are. Many people buying info products buy everything, and then outsource or delegate analysis of information and how it is then acted upon to change internal procedures for lare internal and external teams.
These days it is not 1 guy in his pajamas necessarily buying high end info products, or at least not only, it is also people with 80 staff.
I just think the bonus giving has gone too far which panders to the greed emotion inherent in most of us.
Of course more is better than less - except it isn't for many information products. The bigger cost is not buying the stuff but the time to read, watch, listen and then consolidate into your existing thinking.
I hold my hand up and say that I have been tempted and given in but I now have far more stuff than I have looked at.
For some high profile gurus, that means that I will never buy anything else from them until I have gone through what I've got already.
Thanks for the link. I stopped looking at my feed about the same time you stopped blogging, guess I will have to reactivate it now... Nice to see you back and anxiously awaiting your next move ;)
Great post.
I looked for that discount and I couldn't find it. Someone mentioned something like $100 off. On some places online there are quiet a few angry owners of Keyword Elite v1. Many claim to have had promises of a free upgrade to version 2. I don't know, I never got a promise from Brad...just a bunch of spam email. I still use Keyword elite v1.3 but I have added Market Samurai...it rocks. But what it boils down to for me is finding niches with low competition in Google and to do that I also use SeoQuake-free plugin. Works for me.
If people were offered a free upgrade, then again the best course of action is a support ticket.
