Danny Sullivan explains, “…How will we find stories going forward? For one, our editors will continue to look for good stories to feature. In addition, we’ll still be accepting news ideas from others.

Our submission form will continue working. But those ideas will go in front of the editors to decide, not to a page where people will vote. If a submission is selected this way, the individual who submitted it will be credited.

Part of me is sad to see the voting system go. But the reality is that stories have been getting fewer and fewer votes, while the site’s traffic hasn’t changed much since our Sphinn 2.0 rollout. That tells us people are interested in a collection of good stories, not in actually voting for them.”

When any community is shaken by change, there will be revolt. This community of online marketers is no different. In the sphinn story, controversy is hot and people are mad.

I can see both sides of the argument but at the end of the day, as much as it is a community and we all really do have to respect that aspect of it, I’m 100% Danny does, you have to move forward with choices that may not be so easy. On the other hand, I’m not sure this may be the right decision moving forward as this is currently the ONLY website where online marketers can go and vote for stories and decide what makes a story ‘hot.’

It’s very long but from what I gathered from reading several other websites, this is what it is; Anthony Morrison system and the hidden millionaire introduces people to affiliate marketing using Google Adwords. He charges $4k and has you sign contracts (ouch.) There are horror stories.

My hope for this post is for people who are thinking about purchasing this system because they are struggling to make money and want to work at home is to know and understand what the system is and you don’t need it. Sure, to be fair, I believe learning Google Adwords and Affiliate Marketing does have value, let’s face it, A LOT of people make money that way. What gets me is to see people who are struggling being sold false information about the money that’s to be made and set real standards.

You can make a lot of money from Affiliate Marketing, just know and understand it takes time and a good amount of knowledge on what marketing tactics to use, what niches to enter due to pay-per-click prices in the search engines (Google Adwords for example) and other things.

If you spend a few hours online researching affiliate marketing and Google Adwords, you will get the gist of it and can learn it on your own. Anthonys Morrison system is something that people need to understand once you purchase it, you will spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars promoting these credit card offers and HE IS MAKING MONEY OF YOU. You can eliminate a middle man. It is so easy to sign up to an affiliate program.

Again, from what I have read and saw on the informercial, there is value in learning about affiliate marketing, Google Adwords, and getting a website as template because the reality is that someone who starts at first, without much knowledge, for the most part, fail. Again, that’s for the most part.

Anthony Morrisons the free milionaire offers a ‘free website’ that he provides to you and really sells you on the ‘no hosting fees.’ Well…what happens if Anthony Morrison goes out of business and shuts his servers down. You lose your website.

Again, beweary to purchasing this product and read forums from people whom have purchased this system.

This is a quote from DeskTopServer article on the system:

“Basically, all of the “success stories” are actually employees of the company, business associates with Anthony, or close friends and family members. Not a single one of them had to pay any monthly fees along the way or the $4k sign up fee, therefore none of them were technically “scammed” out of anything. In fact, the only way they get their paychecks is if Anthonys company is a success. (Think about that and it won’t be any surprise to you that they would write a “success story” for his website. Any good friend would, right?)”

To sum it up, the problems I have with the Anthony Morrison Hidden Millionaire system is it doesn’t cost $4,000 to learn how to open a Google adwords account. It also doesn’t cost anything to join an affiliate network to promote credit card offers (they also charge a $30 a month fee which you shouldn’t be paying. The biggest problem people will run into is that the keywords for the business are expensive and with the conversion rate, most will be lucky to break even or not lose their shirt in the process.”

I really don’t doubt that statement, take a look at this blog: http://anthonymorrisonstudentsblog.com/, what do you think?

DISCLAIMER TO THIS POST: I see a lot of activity on this particular post and it was never my intention to just call someone out, especially of a system that I’ve never used myself. I saw this on TV a couple of times and being an online marketer and someone heavily involved in the industry, I decided to do some research and write a post. I urge you, besides reading this, to do your own research on this program. I just wrote based on the facts and info I’ve gathered. Again, I don’t know Anthony Morrison nor have I ever used the hidden millionaire program.

A) TRAFFIC: Twitter, obviously, has great traffic. As the fastest growing social network in the world, we can expect this traffic to increase through 2010 as Twitter can and may become a very useful and effective way of communicating online for the masses.

B) DEMOGRAPHIC: Twitters demographic has been a young demographic until mid-late 2009, when media began really using Twitter as a way of communication with the public, as well as many large web companies.

1- GENDER: The gender demographic, as you can see on the chart above is very even. Female lead with 53%, and Male 47%.

2- AGE GROUP: The bulk of the age group demographic ranges mostly from 18 years of age to 49 years of age. The highest demographic in age group is 18-34 years old being about 44% of users.

3- RACE: Caucasians lead the usage with 74% of the demographic on Twitter. African Americans have a 14% usage, then Hispanics with 8%.

C) TIME FREQUENCY: As you see on the chart, 72% of Twitter users are “passers-by” which means they have a short attention span to Twitter and are there because of a quick tweet, search something quick, etc. They account for 24% of Twitter traffic. 27% of Twitter users are regular users which I believe through 2010, that number will increase. They currently account for 41% of Twitter traffic. Only 1% of Twitter users are ADDICTS which account for 35% of Twitter users.

Barack Obama sent out a tweet from the red cross headquaters and Bill Gates tweets, “‘Hello World.’ Hard at work on my foundation letter — publishing on 1/25.” His Twitter ID is @BillGates, in case you want to tweet the guy. Can you imagine tweeting with Bill Gates? That’d be pretty cool.

>>>>>>Who do you think is the next big figure to Twitter that hasn’t yet??<<<<<< COMMENT BELOW.

So, as these two national figures use Twitter, a wave of popularity and a older demographic begins a widespread awareness of Twitter, there will be a big spike and change in the way we communicate online THROUGH Twitter. Since the very beginning of 2009, Twitter has been really increasing in popularity, but this week, Twitter just put itself on the map as one of the most important online properties in the world, by far.

If you aren’t on Twitter, what are you waiting for? If you’re an online marketer, Twitter has been such a great source for traffic and link building through that traffic and exposure of content that is available by retweets, etc.
