Justin, you suck – put your post back up. It’s your blog, it’s your opinion, you can say whatever you want.

I can only believe this is some sort of marketing ploy you both setup, because now I really want to see the rest of this post. Also, I’m now aware of Mr. Cass’ existence, and probably wouldn’t of otherwise. Not that it’s done either of us any good.

Justin,

As we tweeted about earlier, many people in my industry (SEO, Internet Marketing) come across as douche bag snakes and have seedy and unethical business practices.

To answer your question, sadly, the reason they mistake entrepreneurs for suckers and the reason they exist is because, they actually make money off this BS. And people take the bait. People, whether an entrepreneur or not, are suckers. Not all of them, but enough to reinforce these bonehead marketing practices.
