I have had many emails from this guy & I haven't replied once, if he is that good why is he bombarding people with emails??? also he writes silly stuff in his emails about Amstaffs (SOMEHOW HE KNOWS i HAVE AN AMSTAFF & HE KNOWS HER NAME IS mALLEE - HE NEVER MENTIONS MY OTHER XBREED DOG - DOES HE GET DETAILS OF THE REGISTER???- sorry, not yelling I just accidently hit Caps Lock!!)

He says thaings about Amstaffs being hard to train & he has the 'secret' to unlocking Mallee's obedience - oooooooooh pleeeease!!!! He refers to the difficulties I must have toilet training Mallee, however Mallee is an inside dog & we have never had a problem toilet training her - so I decided then he had nothing to offer me.

lol i have hd those exact same e mails, but about my lab boy who crossed the bridge last march,, i keep getting them

just delete.... money making rubbish. better off going to local obed club..

Dean Rankin is the "Pen Name" for Frank Kern, an "Internet Marketer" who was successfully prosecuted by the FTC in 2003:

http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/dojsweep/03...k4globalstp.pdf

and forced to pay a fine of a quarter of a million dollars.

he now promotes various niche products through the use of a number of disposable "throw away" websites.

In this example, he is promoting a generic dog training "course" that he implies is tailered specifically for your dog breed.

How he does this is by using email opt-in forms on the above mentioned "throw away" websites that collect your name/dogs name, etc. He in turn plugs that info into an automatically emailed sales pitch (actually multiple sales pitches, sent via an autoresponder).

Here's a few of the "throw away" domains he's currently using to pull in sales leads (these are the ones I found when searching for "Brittany Spaniel Training" on google):

http://BrittanyTrainer.com

http://www.dog-e-news.com/Brittany%2520Spaniel_.php

http://pupvillage.com/o/Brittany%2520Spaniel_.php

Incidently....since he is using four different Google Adwords accounts to essentially monoploize four ad postions on google's search results page (which violated their advertising rules), he could be easily shot down were enough people to turn him into google
