When in fact bottom line is that some of it is not all that good, and not worth some of over pricing we see everyday. Yes, sure it’s nice to receive it instantly but does that mean you should be charged that much more for privilege well some will say yes sure you should but I just don't know.

I saw a commercial recently when compared to waiting a year for a new birthday; I don't think waiting a few days is all that bad.

3. When you really get down to it, their success is not going to be your success. There is no way that it could be, sure you may make some money but will you make hundreds, thousands or even millions like some of stories you here online. I say NO you won't and this is why I feel you can’t believe hype of internet marketing business. It can be quite disappointing when you buy all that is recommended to you to only to find out some of it is crap, does not work with what you want to do in your business.

With that said, go for you own success don't try to ride on someone else's success. Find what works for you, build on it, and work one thing at a time. Once you have system that works do it over and over this is key to success. Use information in many informational ebooks as a guide or “how to” reference not a blueprint to road to success. Take what you need and leave rest.

Recently, I noticed same IP number clicking on my ad over and over again--often many times within just a few minutes. I did some basic detective work and discovered it was actually a competitor of mine devouring my pay-per-click dollars. I approached him with my findings and threatened him with law enforcement intervention, if he didn't cease and desist. He denied any involvement, of course. But I haven't had any problems with that individual since.

So, how did I find out who culprit was? Easy.

When checking your log files, if you notice a lot of clicks from one IP address, you can trace its origin by visiting American Registry of Internet Numbers. By feeding IP address into their "Whois" search, they will tell you who has been assigned that IP address, and whether it's an actual IP or another business entity.

Should IP address not be assigned to Americas, you can verify RIPE Network Coordination Center for all Russian, European, and Middle Eastern registries, or Asia Pacific Network Information Center. There are only three such sites, so you should be able to track source.

However, if someone is using sophisticated software to generate clicks on your ad, it will probably be impossible for you to trace IP address yourself. For example, according to alleged Google extortionist, Michael Bradley, "Holland Engine software was originaly written to allow spammers to conceal their orginating IP address from mailservers and to keep it from apearing in e-mail headers.

Holland Engine is core of LincolnSX, most powerful mass-emailing software, running at rates of 5 million e- mails per day per machine. Holland Engine will actually tunnel through internet and connect to desired IP address from, not your IP but rather from another, one at end of tunnel."

In conclusion, if you choose to use pay-per-click search engines to advertise, watch your log files closely and report improprieties immediately.

Also, don't put all of your eggs into one basket, by depending solely on pay-per-click advertising. Utilize a variety of ways to attract traffic to your website, such as ezines, newsletters, writing articles, offline advertising, etc.
