Boy oh boy oh boy. I was going to quote a few of the exclamation point-ridden phrases from Blog Blaster's site here, but there were so many howlingly funny ones that I just couldn't decide which ones to include.

Now - MAYBE I'm wrong about this product (I hope I am) - but it sure looks like all the other make-me-want-to-gag, extremely long one-page ads with bucketloads of exclamations and calls to action and only a few droplets of actual description. Very off-putting.

Its a terrible ad but does it work? I am going to be launching a small clothing store online and am looking for some cost effective and easy ways to get traffic. My gut feeling is: you get what you pay for. Anyone ever used this software?

You know, I think i've seen this Woman in so many internet ads. Who do you think she is?

I suckered up for this junk to see how it worked and - Holy Toledo! - it didn't. Don't waste your cursor running past the exclamations. Focus on good content instead.
