Sometimes, some sites that post things about how to be sucessful in your blogging career and blah blah blah are fraud. I mean, since the blogging craze and the amount of money you can get is at reach, most people abuse the fact and talk about how to be like this and that when it fact, they really do not know what they are talking about! But that does not necessarily mean that all of those sites are fraud, some would stay close to the truth and even provide support for newbies. Sad but true.

If you're full of B.S. and making up your experience, it's hard to keep your story straight from month to month. ;) This is one of the reasons I only consider buying products from folks who have well-established blogs or podcasts and who I’ve been following for a while.

I've been duped! No, seriously, there is an endless amount of pretenders out there. But are they all? Brogan? Rowse? Godin? I guess it depends on what you are looking to get from the sources. If you're looking for writing tips, you will indeed get excellent writing tips from Copyblogger! But he does (I think) have some affiliation with the Thesis theme and the Teaching Sells course. So do we trust the "big" names? You make the point that "you’ll never see a true affiliate marketing expert at a conference talking about affiliate marketing." I guess that is partly why those that I mentioned (& others) have so much free content, to build credibility. Does the fact that Chris Brogan makes money off of speaking diminish what he does on his blog? I think you are referring mostly to the pretenders out there but maybe you did intend to question the "bigs", at least that's where my thoughts went. Great post...made me think! Say it aint so! I’ve been duped!

They have to prove to me they are not. If someone needs to sell me a book about making money then they are not good enough at it for the book to be worth buying.

Trust is a very hard thing to build when it comes to blogging and it is extremely easy to lose. I'm one to believe that not all of the secrets that everyone uses are known to the public and they most likely never will be. You know, it's like someone telling you to do a specific set of tasks and if you walk in their shoes, you'll go down the same path of success. Well, it's not true because that individual contains traits or unique talents that are only tied to them and their success and those are what can't be given away, they can only be mastered in your own unique way.

I actually also wonder about a similar topic of SEO. If everyone continues to maximize their SEO, doesn't everything continue to just evolve to the same general level of homeostasis in the search results?
