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!
Excellent news! Just the opportunity I’ve been waiting for! I presume you’ll be the “Topeka Swami” after Google’s announcement today. :)
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)
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!
I love it and only need .5% forever. Thank you Swami Perry Ponzi Marshall. LOL
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
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
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
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.
pathetic…
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
had me wondering what you’d been smoking till i realized the clock had rolled over and it was april 1st…good one
Perry,
Good April full day’s announcement.
Mukesh.
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
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
Happy April Fool’s Day.
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?
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)
I sure with you’d put a link to your videos so us poor so and so’s on dialup could download them.
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 :-)
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
Hi Perry
Google credits only apply to U.S.A.
How does this affect me in Europe ?

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.
Hey Perry, I’m sitting here on top of that mountain with my iPhone typing this message.
Where are you? :-)
Bwahahaha!
I guess Jonathan’s mock MLM pitch at dinner in Maui was pretty inspiring eh?
Nice turban by the way. ;)
;D Happy Aprils Fools Day! See you at the summit. LOL
It’s been April 1st all day down here in Australia . . . see you on the mountain, Swami. :-)
V funny: all the funnier because it could almost be true! MLM Google Style!
is this a joke? Google is not into MLM? Lijiang seems like a far far place to me, considering I am from Singapore!
Obviously April Fools! :D
I’m in! Let me …check my calendar… to see…if…I have…an opening that…day.
Wait. What?
Hi Perry, Happy April Fool’s Day!
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
You forgot to mention in your video that the Triple Diamond Expiration Date is 4/2?
Nice april’s fools!
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!
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
It took me til 4 minutes in to “get” it. Thanks a million Swami. Your friend. Mr Happy
April Fool’s to you , too, Perry!
It had me excited until you explained about the summit. Almost caught me LOL… Nice one, Perry
Just exactly what have you been smoking Perry? Have you been meeting with Frank Kern?
i just got an email from Google saying that from now on your name will be listed on the homepage of Adwords – “Swami the adwords GURU”
Perry I am in.
Perry I am in.
Perry, this is absolutely amazing.
Can’t wait for more detail.
Richard
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!
David
Oh wow, I actually fell for that for a moment. Nice one Perry :-)
All Hail Swami Perry! And what a great date for the announcement!!
First I thought Perry had gone mad.
Then I realized.
Happy April Fools’ Day!
Hahaha. Good one Perry! Happy April Fools!!
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]…
