Rob Benwell himself is an Internet millionaire, he leads you to believe this resulted from Blogging. In part this is only a portion of his income. It's more in likely his major income is from selling his products.

It's like the successful investor, commodity trader setting up courses to teach you how to invest your money. He's making far safer money from the course then his investments. Now some people really do desire to teach others how to be successful, but they are few.

Before we go on let's define Scammer and Entrepreneur.

Entrepreneur:

• someone who organizes a business venture and assumes the risk for it
• Individual who starts a new business. Venture capital is often used to finance the startup costs in return for an equity share. Once the business is established, an entrepreneur may choose to raise additional capital by selling equity shares to the public through an initial public offering.

Scammer:

• swindler: a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud
• A person who runs a fraudulent business scheme; a swindle.

An Entrepreneur may see a business advantage or opportunity. It could even be something that is free, or readily available. But by providing guides, books, or means of pointing to these free sources he provides a service (like tour guides). He can provide a product, or business connection.

The scammer is interested in making a fast buck, and usually not for the long term. Though a current modern day scammer is the Ponzi scheme of Madoff's. Signs of a scammer are poor customer relations, poor service, poor quality products, a lot of hype, glossy presentations, promotions of "results are fast", get rich now, miracle cures, so on. They tend to the oversell what the product can do, don't disclose all the pertinent facts, cover up.

So how does Rob Benwell stack up. Well let's investigate his campaign on Google Annihilation.

First when I usually want to check on something being suspicious, it's pull up a search engine - type in '<business, product, name> scam'. Then read a few articles. If it is a legit business, you won't find much. Yes there will be results, and most companies will have problems. Well the results whee dismal for "Google Annihilation".

Why? The affiliates and associates with "Google Annihilation" are coy. They had sites, and blogs out their titled "Google Annihilation Scam". Which were just reviews, and promos, and rehash of promotional literature. Some would proclaim "Google Annihilation Reviewed" - these were shameless promotions, NOT REVIEWS. Both of these were designed to mislead the consumer. One site was setup like this "Ripoff Report: Google Annihilation" - again another promo site, designed to keep traffic away from the real "Ripoff Report Site" ( a good site for check companies).

OK maybe just overzealous affiliate promotions. Possible, but doubt it. These speak of cover ups, and only brought more suspicion.

Next in the video, (see photo 1) there is a claim that in one year Rob Benwell's site generated over 2 million visitors, in a year. According to the video, you are kind of lead to believe this site was about a year old. Well question why does Rob have the site blurred out if it so successful? Out front after the test period it wouldn't matter. Sorry careful examination of the site he refers to points it to nothing but bloggingtothebank.com and according to the Way Back Machine he had this site up since 2006.(according to Alexa it was up Jan 24/2006 and has 129 sites linked to it) With all his associates and avid affiliates it no wonder he has over 2 million hits.

In photos 2 and 3, he than claims another site setup generated over 38,000 visitors per month. The question is how? He states by his tool Google Annihilation. Well how much where his affiliates involved? The same for his click-bank earnings, - how much is generated by his affiliates through clickbank or by his own independent site. Sorry without an independent (reputable) auditor to verify these statements, and considering the coverup for the first video, these are also statement without all the truth up front. He doesn't disclose what site it is that generates the 38,000 visitors, nor clearly shows this on his click-bank statement.

Why hide your successful site? Because it will expose his real strategy, ploy, or con. It will open it up, for a thorough examination and expose it to some thorough cross examination. Of which it would probably fail or could pass.

A man with "The man that's got good gold don't mind going to the testing stone".

The following pictures show also information taken from his sites of quit-smoking-expert.com and nicheannihilationmethod.com. Again, these are sites with a heavy base of affiliates, not just a new site erected with new products or services. He is making money by two ways the sales of his methods and books plus those sales done by his affiliates through click-bank. He may have a had small start, and in examining his first bloggintothebank site from the Wayback Machine. But what he has done is built on promoting his products, repeatedly in his blooggingtothebank site.

It's the sales of those products that are generating his income not blogging about things of substance, or products, or services. 

A common trademark of scammers is the often used word "honest", or true.  As put before if you have real gold you aren't afraid of the tests.  Your products and services will speak for themselves.   

Let's see how some of his customers and those who supposed really looked at his products.

• First Google Annihilation:Costs 37.00 per month for up to 30 websites being allowed into network.
• Uses NO relevant website matching methods, only manual categories at present.
• ONLY 3 anchor keywords allowed per site.
• NO article marketing built in.
• NO social bookmarking built in.
• NO user options for selecting relevance of your anchor text links.
• NO ability to reject any inbound or outbound links.
• NO tutorials or instructions at present.
• NO forum.

Competing sites have forums (great places to get help and advice), For every NO above the competition has a YES, they can cost $27 -47 per month. But a word of caution with Link farms, they could get you delisted on search engines (there has been reports in forums)¹

From a commenter at a review site

• "You are absolutely correct. This product does not work. No support. No answering emails. etc. etc. etc. I wish I had found this review before I was suckered into the hype"¹
• Just a note..seems like there is quite a few people in the same boat.. The refund rate is close to 40%!²

Also can you control the links you get and are linked to. Some of us do like to maintain professional and ethical looking sites and content. From a Ripoff Report.³ : it's been reported the links are pornographic sites, and again a complainant about support.

So what about his other products:

Niche Annihilation Method

• No Step-by-step tutorial in this e-book.
• It is assumed that you have certain level of knowledge and experience online. (which in one Ripoff Report this is tossed out by Rob in response to one email) So for the uninitiated out there you will be left floundering. Without a software program or some sort of setup how would you manage your email list, and contacts you are allowed to mass mail. There are companies out there that help you with those things, and your domain provider might have the tools for you. But do you know how to use them and there power in the market place.
• He promotes advertising your product on an online magazine and then claim “as featured on…” (not very ethical in any ways)

Bloggingtothebank v1

• poorly written and full of spelling mistakes (sorry that plain poor - we've had spell checker for a long time - no excuse). That spells hastily put together.

Nichdominationsystem

• From Ripoff Report this soul lost $750.00 and no refunds. According to the latest updatee. *UPDATE *UPDATE ..Niche domination system - Rob Benwell Blogging To The Bank Rob Benwell is a Ripoff, scam, and has not honored his refund policy; Video Tutorials and downloads did not work⁴

Finally if when wants to follow some of the victims who dealt with Rob Benwell and his cohorts. Just follow this forum robertbenwellexposed .

• From this you find several people complaining about being taken or having problems getting their monies back. One fellow supposedly lost $4000.00⁵. He has also filed a Ripoff Report to be read in detail.⁶

Rob Benwell looks like and is acting like a scammer. The reports of negative feedback is mounting. True there are those who don't like successful people. But if he is trying to be honest, his customer service skills are very short. His tactics bespeak a slick con job.

His latest venture is bloggingtothebank 3.0. Just his regular bloggingtothebank site renamed within. And as with all other companies with a lot of fluff, he offers all sorts of extras that are worth thousands, to entice you to buy and that it is a bargain. No it's not, and nor are the extras worth it.

My recommendations "Don't buy". Check him out thoroughly, if you are even thinking about biting. To get Rob Benwell results you must duplicate what he is doing which is just selling his program. It's like this: Joe Scuz makes a 100 in a week and sells his methods to every one and makes 10,000 for the month. So guess what now he can say I"ve made 10,000 a month, and sells the program with a different twist, and makes now 20,000 a month from you.

If anyone knows of any more products he is putting on the market or his brother. I will gladly list them here.  It is also well known that Rob Benwell works with Chris X.  Both send out hyped up and overrated products.
