Shill Marketing. We're going to start witnessing a whole lot of that during the Presidential Campaign race when it ramps up even more later on this year. Ironic how it's being used everywhere eh?[/quote] Well being that political campaigns are noncommercial, they can lie as much as they want. In fact, it's expected of them. :D I just don't know how people, politicians or not, who lie so freely can sleep well at night. :blink:

Shill Marketing. We're going to start witnessing a whole lot of that during the Presidential Campaign race when it ramps up even more later on this year. Ironic how it's being used everywhere eh? BTW, ethics and integrity comes at many levels. In the marketing line of work, most of it is checked at the door if you really want to be extremely successful. I'm sure lawyers would agree :).

That's not marketing, that's <strong>shill marketing</strong>, and yes it can be illegal. If you're willing to sacrifice your ethics and integrity just to make money, you might as well pursue a career in organized crime. The pay there is just as good. :think: The marketer isn’t presenting a review, he’s presenting a completely made up fabrication.

The marketer is presenting a review of the product. The product that is being reviewed is an actual existing product. Weather or not it's an accurate review of the product is irrelavent. Since when is opinion a crime? No one forces the buyer to buy it. But if someone is actually dumb enough to buy the product based on that one review, then good to go. Objective achieved. It's a harsh world out there. But thats marketing. This is done everyday for nearly everything. The marketer is presenting a review of the product.

There are tons of people who get rich by selling fake systems on how to get rich. Now thats a different ballgame. But hey as long as Americans are dumb enough to fall for it, so be it.
