Day 18: No Special Sauce

Throughout the whole thirty day challenge Ed has been mentioning his “special sauce” which was going to virtually guarantee top placements in Google if we had chosen our niche phrases as instructed. Unfortunately the special sauce should now be called the secret sauce as Ed has decided not to reveal it in the 30 day challenge.

I must admit I was pretty disappointed at this news as I know social bookmarking alone isn’t usually enough to maintain top spots in Google and I was looking forward to learning a new way to get back links (I assume the special sauce had something to do with getting good quality, one way back links).

However, I totally understand Ed’s reasoning for the sudden withdrawal of the technique due to the potential abuse from spammers who were also partly responsible for the Tumblr episode. I believe the only way to learn this technique is to join Ed’s membership sites called Immediate Edge.

I know it sounds like a big scam just to get people to sign up for Ed’s membership site to make him more money but if you have been following along with the 30 day challenge you will have made up your own mind about Ed and whether or not you think he is genuine or not.

Personally I think Ed is an exceptionally genuine guy and deserves any extra revenue that comes his way as a result of the 30DC, the amount of time and effort he has put into it and the quantity and quality of information he has provided for no charge whatsoever is absolutely brilliant.
