		<description><![CDATA[In my last post I talked about researching online advertising companies that you might be considering doing business with. I&#8217;d like to expand just a bit on this point and point out that it&#8217;s important to evaluate the evaluators.
I intercepted a ridiculous spam email from an eLocal rep to one of my clients that had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This one is probably the single most offensive call I&#8217;ve heard. While the call I&#8217;ve previously mentioned as #2 on my list has more offenses per minute, this one is just the most blatantly dishonest conversation I&#8217;ve heard.
Getting right to the point&#8230;the Wisdek sales rep is asked, point- blank, &#8220;You&#8217;re calling me from Google?&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As promised, there is yet more to the insane call from RelevantAds.com to one of my clients. As the call proceeds the RelevantAds sales rep talks about his company&#8217;s qualifications as an authorized reseller. I&#8217;ve included the clips from the call recording with about 5 seconds of dead air inserted between each part of interest.

		<description><![CDATA[As mentioned on www.crimes-of-persuasion.com and www.scamwatch.gov.au, the popular fake directory scam is still ensnaring many small businesses. Whether they&#8217;re offering an online directory or a print directory, be sure you ask plenty of questions-don&#8217;t fall victim to this pernicious scam!
If a company contacts you offering to list your company in a hot new directory-one that [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll post about #1 later&#8230; but for now, here&#8217;s a multi-part post about RelvantAds, the #2 spot on my all-time worst list.

Beyond that, I just hate the whole approach of promising #1 placement. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
