Press Release Body = Clearfield, PA October 12, 2006 - Get rich quick scams are
nothing new, even in the online world. One of the newer breeds of online scammers
are the so-called "Internet marketing gurus" who sell e-books or other informational
products telling readers how to make a fortune on the Web using a variety of
Internet marketing tactics. While for years they've taken aim at unsuspecting
webmasters and marketers, now someone's finally taking aim at them, with the new
site and blog launched at www.InternetMarketingSucks.com, which exposes Internet
marketing frauds and their shady methods.

The homepage of InternetMarketingSucks.com attacks the issue head on by taking a
sarcastic approach of a sales letter; the kind often used by Internet marketing
gurus to sell their get rich quick products. The site was launched by Levi Bloom, a
self-proclaimed "disgruntled webmaster," like uncounted others who have at one time
or another been suckered into purchasing one of these products. Not surprisingly,
most customers never reach the promised financial fulfillment of these "gurus," and
instead continue to struggle doing things the good old fashioned way, with hard
work. Bloom shares his thoughts on a variety of Internet marketing scams in the blog
portion of the site.

Bloom has recently discussed an assortment of Internet marketing issues, some
popular and some less known, ranging from the $15K Challenge and The Rich Jerk to
keyword-stuffed podcasts and Myspace marketing. Despite the seriousness of some
Internet marketing scams, Bloom tries to keep a lighthearted and more sarcastic tone
to the site than to make flat out accusations.
