Greetings fellow Marketers and Internet crawlers!

I’ve been following the blog of an interesting fellow by the name of Robert Plank, a php programmer and a guy who writes and sells his own scripts. I’ve found all of his recent promotions and offerings to be really good, and he’s not another one of those kind who seem to thing that once they have your email address you are fair game for every marketing promotion that comes down the pipe.

In fact I’ve searched far and wide, and man! if I could ever hire the guy for even one script!

But I digress.

Robert has written a very important post on his blog with regards to his views on Optin Accelerator that goes on sale very soon. I’ve seen numbers of Marketing Mavens (or Guru’s if you will) promoting this rather heavily, of course with glowing reports on how it will boost your marketing success, but I rather prefer Roberts view of this marketing gimmick.

So without further ado.. let me paste here a small excerpt for you and his link to read the whole thing!

Mike Filsaime became popular using this method and sold a script that…….
