      Ali S. Khan @ 8:54 am

      An absolutely classic laugh for a day that deserves the splendour of arduous newscasts. Nice one Perry!

      Being on the first page of Google for “adwords” has its definite advantages. What a day.

      Happy April Fools~

        This video is SO true… Google really does call Perry a “Swami” as he says. Search “swami perry marshall” on the Big G and you get… [drum roll please]…

        Happy 4/1!

    Then I realized.

    Happy April Fools’ Day!

    Great video

    I’ve already got my crampons out of the cupboard and the taxi’s picking me up for the airport in 5 minutes – NOBODY is going to beat me to the summit!

    Great remuneration plan from Google too!

  9. April 1

    CareHomeMarketingExpert @ 3:36 am

    Just exactly what have you been smoking Perry? Have you been meeting with Frank Kern?

  10. April 1

    Joseph @ 3:36 am

    It had me excited until you explained about the summit. Almost caught me LOL… Nice one, Perry

  11. April 1

    Kevin Puls @ 3:39 am

    April Fool’s to you , too, Perry!

    Mr Happy (April) Fools @ 3:40 am

    It took me til 4 minutes in to “get” it. Thanks a million Swami. Your friend. Mr Happy

    Sinon Phelan @ 3:43 am

    Hi Swami

    Very funny. Google goes Amway!
    The tenth Great Lie.
    April 1st lives.

    I presume this is inspired more by China’s dispute with Google and less by Brian Todd’s successes

    All the best

  14. April 1

    Paul Nadrowski @ 3:43 am

    Oh Swami Googlananda, we bow before thee at the sound of thy important words, made even more important on this holy date, even as one leg grows longer than the other from being pulled. What grand news! What grand news! What grand news!

  15. April 1

    Henk @ 3:51 am

    Nice april’s fools!

  16. April 1

    Pesach ben Levi @ 3:52 am

    You forgot to mention in your video that the Triple Diamond Expiration Date is 4/2?

  17. April 1

    John @ 3:54 am

    It has only taken you about 6 years since I bought your first ever Google Adwords course ( still got it on my study shelf) for you to slip into the altered state of “Gurudom”

    Adword pyramid selling! Doh! Why didn’t I think of that Perry?

    I am so glad that I got the inside deal from you before this mathematically unlimited opportunity fell into the hands of somebody with the morals of a pole cat and a joint venture with the devil himself.

    Perry, you have saved the world again.

    Thank you

  18. April 1

    Mila @ 3:55 am

    Franco @ 3:56 am

    Obviously April Fools! :D

  21. April 1

    Shei @ 3:58 am

    is this a joke? Google is not into MLM? Lijiang seems like a far far place to me, considering I am from Singapore!

  22. April 1

    Kev @ 3:59 am

    V funny: all the funnier because it could almost be true! MLM Google Style!

  23. April 1

    Matt Whelan @ 3:59 am

  24. April 1

    Pablo @ 4:03 am

    ;D Happy Aprils Fools Day! See you at the summit. LOL

  25. April 1

    Glen McNiel @ 4:03 am

    Bwahahaha!

    I guess Jonathan’s mock MLM pitch at dinner in Maui was pretty inspiring eh?

    Nice turban by the way. ;)

  26. April 1

    John Oosterkamp @ 4:04 am

    Hey Perry, I’m sitting here on top of that mountain with my iPhone typing this message.

    Where are you? :-)

  27. April 1

    Shane @ 4:04 am

    Residing in Australia, and the time now being 9:03 pm, makes this April Fools joke fall back on you Larry. It’s after 12:00 noon.

    Hi Perry

    Google credits only apply to U.S.A.

    How does this affect me in Europe ?

    Regards

    Barry

    Karl Rohde @ 4:09 am

    Thanks Perry, I love your sense of humour, happy April fools, and may the first quarter of the year be but a sample of the rest!

    :)

    Karl Rohde

    p.s. I’ll see you on the mountain

    p.p.s. Next time you are in NZ, be sure to check out under the mountain

    Brian A @ 4:09 am

    Hey Perry:

    Loved your April 1st blog entry today: Jay Dragon Mountain in China!

    I’ve seen some great April Fool “announcements”, but this has got to be one of the best :-)

    Why aren’t we surprised? I guess you put as much effort and imagination into high jinxes as you do with anything else you decide to tackle.

    But April Fool aside, there is of course an underlying truth behind the fun:

    - yes, we can have a better life;

    - yes, there are alternatives to humdrum living;

    - yes, you can make a great living on the Internet.

    - now is the best time ever. Why: recessions create huge momentum.

    What do I think is the most important point? Only interact with the right people. The vast majority of what we read about Internet business ideas is simply wrong.

    Not surprisingly, that doesn’t include http://www.PerryMarshal.com – one of the few “Internet gems”, that also not surprisingly, has stood the test of “tide and time”.

    So congratulations on another great entry swami Google Perry :-)

  31. April 1

    Michael Howard @ 4:10 am

    I sure with you’d put a link to your videos so us poor so and so’s on dialup could download them.

  32. April 1

    Matt Whelan @ 4:12 am

    Perry, it’s been April 1st all day down here in Australia, you should have release this earlier!

    Anyway, see you on the mountaintop, Swami :-)

    (and if this happens to be a duplicate, please kill it, but my browser locked up in the middle of submission, sorry)

  33. April 1

    Arne @ 4:13 am

    Swami!!!

    This is great news!!! I wish I could follow Your Highness but I am unable to because of vertigo. However, may I suggest to bring in the Amway guys and Bernie Madoff? Lemme join this craze, I will be operating direct flights to this frigging mountain from all over the US and other places. Let us create this market!!! Yes, we can!!! Do not stop with “earth”, go beyond that!!

    Hey, have you heard about Steve “Blackjumper” Jobs having bought EMI and therefore the music world? Let’s jump on this bus as well, we may sell “Secret Beatles homevideos” via MLM, what do you think?

  34. April 1

    Sheila @ 4:16 am

    Happy April Fool’s Day.

  35. April 1

    Gil @ 4:19 am

    Oh My God ! This is terrific ! Count me in ! Do they have dried fish in China, in case the hike is longer than expected ?
    BTW, little snap on the finger Perry ; it’s not good to use thumbs from imagebanks with the watermark still on :)
    Best,
    Gil

  36. April 1

    Helmut @ 4:19 am

    Perry,

    Great promotion, but I have a problem.
    You say 5% on every down-down-down line to infinity.
    Surely, this must cut off at level 20, when 100% is reached?
    Level 20 may be like infinity, but to suggest that rewards can go beyond that discredits you.

    Best wishes, Helmut

  37. April 1

    Mukesh @ 4:22 am

    Perry,

    Good April full day’s announcement.

  39. April 1

    Michael Simmons @ 4:23 am

    I had already opened another window and was on the United Airlines web site buying my tickets when I remembered the date.
    Happy April Fools Perry
    Good One

    pathetic…

  41. April 1

    Graeme @ 4:32 am

    Google must be hurting after shutting down so many adwords accounts to pull a stunt like this. Sorry but google will not allow me to join you as much as I would like to.

  42. April 1

    Steve Philpott @ 4:34 am

    Hi Perry
    Always listen to your stuff, always relevant. But this blew me away, its such a nice take on Am**y. Beautiful buildup had me going for a while till i noticed the date.
    Cheers Steve

  43. April 1

    Steve Wyman @ 4:35 am

    LOL LOL LOL LOL

    Whilst from the 1st second i thought what the heck is Perry on :-) it was 3 minutes before i got the April fool joke LOL

  44. April 1

    Bruce "the Mid-Life Mentor" @ 4:37 am

    You had me for a while. I was shocked and disappointed until I realized it was April 1. Then I had a good laugh. Good luck to all your Triple Diamonds

  45. April 1

    Ron @ 4:39 am

    I love it and only need .5% forever. Thank you Swami Perry Ponzi Marshall. LOL

  46. April 1

    David Tew @ 4:45 am

    Well Swarmi, have you gone barmy?

    Maybe it’s serious. OK. It is serious.

    You’d better be on that mountain when I get there!

  47. April 1

    David Shillito @ 4:48 am

    Perry, at first I thought you had gotten a taste for gluggin that MLM coolaid again, then I realised its just a taste for irony. Bravo :0)

  48. April 1

    Donny @ 4:49 am

    Excellent news! Just the opportunity I’ve been waiting for! I presume you’ll be the “Topeka Swami” after Google’s announcement today. :)

  49. April 1

    Abhik @ 4:49 am

    Perry, absolutely priceless video!!! Was having a coffee when I watched this…laughed so hard bloody hot coffee came out of my nose. Forget all that CTR and CPC rubbish this summit is where it’s at! I’m going to get my hiking gear and say bye to the family:)

    Abhik

    P.S. Your best video EVER Swami Marshall!

  50. April 1

    Don @ 4:53 am

    The opportunity of a lifetime!
    Oh to be one of the twelve… Looks like I’ll have to pass though, I don’t live in Kansas city.
    Inspired, Perry. Inspired ;) (Was that Amwords or Adway?)

  51. April 1

    Tom @ 4:58 am

    I was “just” going to write “what if you are the 13th guy to reach the top of the mountain? What happens?”

    And then I looked at the date.

    Clever boy. Veddy clevAH.

  52. April 1

    Alla Goltsman @ 5:06 am

    That’s a big problem, Perry. You got me all confused this morning. Now you need to clarify which Google you are talking about.

    http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/03/02/google.kansas.topeka/index.html

    Happy Fools Day!

  53. April 1

    Abey @ 5:06 am

    LOL. I love it. Since I’ll be coming from India there should be a short cut through the Himalayas. I’ll be there before Dorothy!

  54. April 1

    Lisa @ 5:12 am

    Hi ‘Swami’ Perry,
    Fantastic news on yours and Google’s great new incentive. I’ve got my plane tickets booked already, and am packing my special ice boots and thermals right this second….See you in China;)

  55. April 1

    Steve Juth @ 5:12 am

    Wow, Perry! This video brought tears to my eyes as you showed how Bryan’s life was completely changed from rags to riches by Google.

    I do think your video would have been more believable if you shot it while driving around town in a car, as many ‘big’ internet marketers seem to do these days.

    Speaking of driving, do you think I can carpool with you to the meeting? Let me know.

    Thanks,
    Steve

  56. April 1

    Rashid Kotwal @ 5:14 am

    Beautiful – you had me going for a while – then I realised it was of course, the 1st of April.

    I think it was the bit about climbing the mountain that did it LOL.

    Rashid.

  57. April 1

    Gareth Martin @ 5:20 am

    WFT? is this a paradoy of every network marketing pitch i’ve ever heard or has Perry and the boys been at the chillums in the foot hills od the himalayas?

  58. April 1

    Patrick K. O'Brien @ 5:21 am

    Excellent plan, Perry. It’s about time someone figured out how to help Google monetize their AdWords assets and get some serious growth going. And I like the fact that the rest of us on the planet have the chance to benefit as well.

    I just booked all my flights to get me to China (I’m sure I’ll get that expense back once I start building my downline). See you at the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (bet the view is great up there)!

  59. April 1

    Ray Posner @ 5:27 am

    Hey Perry,

    Happy 1st of April to you too! You really had me in until I scaled Jade Mountain and found out that you were not sitting at the top.

    Have a Happy Easter

    I don’t get it?

    Is it supposed to be taking the rip out of so called Guru’s and MLM programs?

    LOL !

    * “The Plan” – What comes around goes around.

  62. April 1

    Clive @ 5:33 am

    Cool! When can I sign up! I hope you will give us some advance warning so that I can enroll my wife, my brother , my sister, my granny, the brother-in-law I hate, my dog, my cat as well as our pet pig. We also need to get them all into some mountain climbing courses so they can make it up the mountain.

    But I know it will be worth it! Life of luxury here we come!!!

  63. April 1

    Dat To @ 5:33 am

    Your stuff is always the best! Killer headlines in your auto emails always. this is a hilarious parody of your experience as an Amway 4000pin! especially w/ the convention in china.

  64. April 1

    drhowell @ 5:34 am

    So this is obviously an April Fool’s joke.

    Good one Perry!

  65. April 1

    Tim Holtze @ 5:36 am

    I tell you what Perry, if I had the resources and a great product I’d be in like Flynn. You’re one of the few I have any genuine faith in. For two reasons, 1: You actually know what you’re talking about and can prove it, and 2:YOU’RE HONEST. God bless you.

  66. April 1

    Rajka @ 5:37 am

    Nice try “Swami”. I don’t buy it.

    1. It’s April Fools Day.
    2. I’ve done my due diligence. The was no such announcement from Google.
    3. I know that you don’t get along well with Network Marketing or MLM.

  67. April 1

    Larry Foster @ 5:40 am

    Awesome
    Brought back memories of my Amway/Quixtar days

  68. April 1

    himanshu @ 5:50 am

    People can simply click your ad to make a purchase or learn more about you. You don’t even need a webpage to get started – Google will help you create one for free. It’s that easy!

    Joel Shorey @ 5:52 am

    OK, Swami, I’m digging out my crampons now. I can hardly wait to be triple diamond affiliate guru!

    Clay @ 5:58 am

    Nice outfit Perry. I was really hoping I could ride ole Puddin Foot,9that’s my horse) to your China deal.

    He’s a little shaky on ice , but I plann on getting him legged up for the ride.

    Do they have cowboys in China?

    Chet Hastings @ 6:04 am

    Hey is this internet thing great or what? Just this morning myself and thousands of other loyal followers of Perry Marshall received notice from Perry who with tongue planted firmly in cheek announced that he has at long last received that exalted status of “Internet Guru”.

    Wasting no time he further announced that he has wisely decided to use his new status to launch the very latest in that rock solid internet theory of business practice called MLM, (multi-level-marketing), where he will
    encourage everyone in the world who owns a credit card to join in the program which as history has shown will eventually enrich all who follow. Masterful. The nearest thing to perpetual motion man has yet devised.

    Should you doubt the wisdom of the internet’s newest Guru I would ask you to consider the location he has chosen to launch this new financial wonder. Yes indeed China which Google has shown recently is the model country for
    openness and desire to share information and have true governmental transparency. Much like Chicago politics one might think.

    Yes folks. No more of that tedious split testing, researching and checking on competition. The internet will prove once more that the path to success is simply hitching your star to a saintly guru with a whiteboard. I have long been convinced that if I just stayed around long enough Perry would finally come to his senses and get rid of that nasty old four letter word, work, which he has been using for so long and replace it with something
    sensible like a good solid long tail keyword phrase, Multi Level Marketing.

    One wonders if Perry’s trusted partner Todd might be reminded of that famous phrase uttered by Tonto the loyal sidekick of the Lone Ranger
    when they were surrounded by thousands of indians the Lone ranger was heard to utter, “Tonto it don’t look good for us we are surrounded by thousands of indians”. Tonto was heard to reply, “Whatca mean we whiteman”. Perhaps Todd might be tempted to think, Whatca mean we Perry, I ain’t no guru”

    Perry, oh exalted one, you have brightened my day. Keep up the good fight.

    Sincerely:

    Chet Hastings

    Ryan @ 6:05 am

    huh huh. it’s, uh, an april fool’s day joke. huh huh.

  75. April 1

    Tim Holtze @ 6:07 am

    I got caught out! There’s proof alone I’m a sucker for a con! Hey Perry, I still stand by my statements about you nonetheless. Your dishonesty only comes in the form of a joke! I thought it was deliberately tongue in cheek, I forgot it was April Fool’s Day.

  76. April 1

    OTR Tire Guy @ 6:10 am

    Happy April Fools day, Perry!

    You had me there, up until you started giving the AmWay Speech…

    Thanks for keeping it light.

  77. April 1

    Phil Squires @ 6:12 am

    Perry that is hilarious…you certainly had me going…lol

  78. April 1

    Andrew Wilkes @ 6:14 am

    This was a hilarious video. Thanks for putting this up.

    The idea of everyone on earth having a website and doing Internet marketing is scary.

    I guess we will have robots doing the 9-5 work?

  79. April 1

    Bill Enross @ 6:16 am

    Sweet! Can’t wait to get my distributor kit and hold a home party for my family right after Easter dinner, I’m cranked!

  80. April 1

    Annabel @ 6:23 am

    Congrats to you, Perry, or should I say Swami Perry! I am booking my flight as I type this–but first I set up an AdWords campaign bidding on ten thousand keywords having to do with climbing gear. You see, I figure that at least 10% of the world’s population (that’s 500 million people!) will be racing to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to get wisdom fom you, Larry, and Sergey, and very few of them will have their own mountain climbing boots with crampons and so on. I don’t actually have any of that stuff either, but I’m sure that when my first ad group takes off–and how could it not, with 10K keywords!–then I’ll have the $$ from advance orders to set up manufacturing and delivery for all those boots and stuff. People will soon be climbing MY mountain (that’s Mount Bonnell, elev. 943 ft.) to become my affiliates. And I’ll owe it all to you. Thanks, Swami Perry!

  81. April 1

    Matt Gillogly @ 6:38 am

    Perry, I can’t tell is this the Amway pitch or the Social Security/HealthCare pitch… As long as everyone keeps paying in more than than the pay out.

  82. April 1

    tomcane @ 6:52 am

    five minutes I’ll never get back …

    Not good to poke fun – especially now with the problems Google faces with China.

    Have reported you to the FTC for false advertising.

    (just kidding – Happy April Fool’s Day!)

    Hey Swami … You’re out and Brian is in. He’s got all the boats, cars and properties :) .

    The only thing you were missing in the video is a fortune cookie necklace.

    Best April Fools joke I’ve seen yet.

    Shouldn’t that be 9 wide who get 6 who get 3?

    Give me that plan and I’m on my way!!

    If I live near San Francisco, do I still have to fly to Phoenix first and then back to SF? I don’t want to have an unfair advantage on any of my competitors! If I end up not having enough money for a plane ticket, could I use one of those paddle boats to get there instead? I could use the exercise…
    Very funny stuff, Perry.

    Your Courses are by far the most Excellent i’ve ever encountered online, and your April Fool’s Treats even better!

    Nice on Perry~ :)

    Jeff Baas @ 8:58 am

    Funny stuff, Perry! I was wondering who the first April Fool joke of the day would come from online. Not only was yours the first, but it almost certainly will be the funniest, too.

    Perry, you really have too much time on your hands.

    Ok, so I’m #4 on the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain…Bob from Topeka, Jim from Kansas City, and Kim Chang from Beijing were here when I arrived. Perry, we’re freezing our asses off. I’m not surprised that I wasn’t the first one here, but I’m surprised that it’s been more than an hour since I arrived and no one else has arrived yet. What is this, some sort of April Fool’s Joke? How cruel if you were just playing a trick on us. Do you know how much I spent on thermal underwear and battery operated socks??!! They aren’t working…and I’m getting sleepy. Maybe I’ll take a short nap and warm up. Perry, if this is a joke, you’re going to be in big trouble! It’s colder than I’ve ever felt, and I’m very….very…tired.

    MACRONEAUX’S J. PETERMAN MAKES OFFER FOR FRANCE

    LEXINGTON, KY – Apr. 1, 2010 – J. Peterman announced Macroneaux’s plan to bid for France, in a recent press conference. News coming on the heels of what many considered the greatest political yea vote (all 72 inhabitants voted yes) in Macroneaux history.

    The speaker of the house, who was in his house at the time, since they have no official capitol building, or capitol, said, on the record: “We may seem delusional, but Marcroneauxians are extremely resourceful, and it would be wise to remember our motto, One cannot live by macramé alone.” He was speaking of the principality that is the largest macramé producer in the world, once belonging to Andorra, which fell into Peterman’s hands just recently in a game of Whisk, (the modern version of Whist.)

    Rumors of such a deal began swirling in the streets recently when huge quantities of foie gras were being served in Macroneaux’s only restaurant, somehow overlooked by The Michelin Guide, where the country’s only shaker and mover was at the best (and only) table.

    Peterman was tracked down last week in France on his most recent buying trip, and when asked how they can afford to purchase France, Peterman stated, “With the price of Roquefort plummeting, the time was ripe. Besides,” he said, “I’ve always had a fascination with The Louisiana Purchase – and “The Peterman Purchase” has more of ring to it, don’t you think?”

    Peterman went on to say that April 1st be known as “The Peterman Purchase,” bumping “Fool’s Day” from top billing. To celebrate, an official code commemorating the historical event was issued. Simply use the code WHISK to receive 23% off all apparel at jpeterman.com.

    About the company: J. Peterman has been traveling the world to find uncommonly good things since he started the company in 1987.

    If you were truly partnering with Google, you’d know that they changed their name to Topeka today.

    What a coincidence, both major announcements coming out on April Fool’s Day!

    The hat is a nice touch, however.

    4. Laughter…after reading the April Fools Comment.

    Nice Job Perry…you got me.

    You’re kidding – this wasn’t serious! Good thing I bought the travelers insurance on these tickets to Bejing!
    Just like you young smart punks to mess with an old lady’s head. It’s OK, though, cuz I was going to have to pay a wad to be air-lifted to the summit of Mount Hebejeebie.
    Happy Joker’s day!

    You know I´m cuban so I´m not aware of days like this.Anyway congratulation for the good job and thanks to everybody who posted their comments on this site and saved my time.

    Teresa Sedmak @ 11:32 am

    Great! Besides the garb, I had my first suspicion when the circles started being drawn. I used to know how to draw those circles too.

    First thing I’m going to do with the millions I make from Google’s new remuneration program is buy you a good and proper swami hat. After all you deserve it.

    Thanks for the laugh!

    Perry, I wan to buy my way into Triple Diamond! Can’t I use my adwords money to buy your downline? Yep, I too bought into the whole MLM deal for 2 years, never did anything except alienate friends. But THIS – this sounds like the real deal.

  129. April 1

    Lawrence Bernstein @ 2:28 pm

    Hey Swami Perry,

    I heard Richard DeVos and Wen Jiabao will be coming to your meeting with a sackful of special Himalyan mushrooms…to keep the merriment going!

    Lloyd Leiderman @ 3:46 pm

    I was wondering how long it would take. Perry’s finally lost it. He’s being digested by the G dragon as you read this. I guess it won’t matter,though. He’ll do just fine selling adwords to all those bacteria in the Google gut.

    George @ 7:34 pm

    Hey Perry,
    This was a great amusement coming with my morning coffee. While I was still wondering if Google really resumed there commission strategy I suddenly found myself on the way to china…

    My secretary had already ordered the tickets and I had called my Sherpas in Tibet when i suddenly realized the fact that Aprils fools day isn’t over yet in the Staates.

  137. April 1

    Jake Kittell @ 8:09 pm

    I have been reading your stuff for quite a few years. It is most entertaining as well as helpful. I hope this makes you really rich. Good luck.

  138. April 1

    Chris Goegan @ 8:48 pm

    Holy Crap Perry!!

    ARE YOU FOR REAL??!!!!!

    I just bought my plane ticket and am picking up new crampons before I fly out tomorrow.

    It was expensive buying the plane tickets and finding a sherpa to guide me up the mountain was no small feat. I figure the additional cost to fly my sherpa from Berma will be well worth it, especially if I’m one of the first 12.

    I couldn’t afford to pay for this trip so I cashed out my life insurance policy and maxed out my credit cards. All my cash savings are gone except for the $175 I left my wife for food and diapers for our 12 kids. The oldest is 12 and our youngest quadruplets are 4 months old.

    My wife agreed it would be hard on her but well worth it to be one of the 12! I’m hoping that the mortgage company will hold off on the eviction (I was going to bring my mortgage current but good thing you sent this out when you did!!)

    My work visa doesn’t allow me to leave the country and coming back may be a problem. Immigration said it would be 7 years before I could petition to regain entrance into the country. Again, my wife said it would be all worth it and to focus on the dream.

    Because if I can believe it I can achieve it right?!!

    I missed the boat on many ground floor opportunities and Perry, I PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL NOT MISS THIS ONE!!

    This is the break I’ve been looking for my whole life.

    I know I can do it!

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!

    SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!

    (I just hope my medical condition and bronchitis aren’t a problem in the high altititude – I know I just have to believe and have a good attititude and it can be mine!!)

    I am a diamond!

    Chris.

    Perry – when you started drawing circles I about fell on the floor laughing. You have ambot patter down pat . . .

  142. April 2

    Dallas BK @ 10:22 am

    You almost had me Perry, but the giveaway was when you kept referring to the company as “Google” even though everyone knows that yesterday they officially changed their name to “Topeka.”

  143. April 2

    Jordan @ 10:22 am

    I second Carol. What’s even more funny is the comments above from the all the sharp tools.

    Jon young @ 4:02 am

    I always knew the thousands I lost in network marketing would come good someday – Perry, this will be life changing for me – let me know which beach and when and I’ll be there with you to get this thing mooving and grooving…

    See you at the top!

    Is it a good business practice to steal images from Istockphoto (watermark still there) and use those in a commercial video?

    Looks like IP infringement to me.

  147. April 12

    Ted Marcus @ 7:18 am

    Perry,
    I got tired of waiting. I am also really cold and my camp stove just died, so no more espresso.

    I gotta go.

    But, if you want to catch up in Jerusalem, drop by. I am there most of the time,

    Cheers,
    Ted

    Sean Isaacs @ 11:42 am

    Now its official. Perry is the Google Adwords Guru. What took them so long.

    Is this marketing plan for real? Wow! I need to check this out.

    Thanks!

  149. May 20

    Seattle Janitorial Services @ 3:46 pm

    Perry,

    Truly amazing! Now whenever I need to catch up on what you’ve been doing lately I can just search for “The Adwords Guru”.

    Thanks for a break in the day – you must have known I needed it!
