In a public relations disaster, StomperNet’s website was DOWN when both the company and its numerous affiliates sent thousands of potential customers to the site in order to get their free copy of the Stomping The Search Engines 2.0 home-study DVD-ROM course.

In a somewhat risky move, StomperNet is freely giving away its highly rated search engine optimization (SEO) course - originally priced at $497 - in the hope that those who order will end up subscribing to StomperNet’s Internet marketing journal, The Net Effect.

Customers also get a free copy of The Net Effect when they order Stomping the Search Engines 2, but will start paying $39 per month for the second issue of the journal and for all subsequent issues.

At a time when the Internet marketing community is sick and tired of “servers crashing” and ploys to create artificial scarcity, the technical issues which caused StomperNet’s website to go down couldn’t have come at a worse moment.

StomperNet insists its problems were real and that there is no intention to create the impression of scarcity since the company plans to fill every order.

“We’re not kidding when we say this is not a scarcity play - we want to get this stuff into as many hands as possible!” Brad and Andy told affiliates in an email today, “We’re going to FILL EVERY ORDER.”

As an affiliate I personally feel let down and embarrassed - especially since I am one of those who have criticized Internet marketers over servers crashing during product launches. However, I have no reason not to believe StomperNet when they say this was a genuine mistake.

As a result of the debacle, StomperNet has delayed the launch of Stomping The Search Engines 2 until Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 2pm EST.

You can, however, go to the site NOW and sign up to be notified as soon as the course is available.

Yesterday, I reviewed the Stomping The Search Engines 2 home-study course. (To read the review go here Stomping The Search Engines 2 Review). At the end of the review I indicated that the guys behind the course, Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon, were going to price it at one price… before deciding to make it so that EVERYONE would be able to get this course.

That wasn’t hype.

Originally, the price of this course was going to be $497.

But after Andy and Brad’s change of heart, the price of the course is now… $0

That’s right, you can get the entire DVD-ROM course for FREE. You only pay for shipping and handling (and that’s a real shipping and handling cost – not a padded one).

What’s the catch?

The “catch” is that when you order the course, you also agree to trial StomperNet’s Internet marketing journal, The Net Effect. (I also discussed that in yesterday’s review). The first issue is free but there is an ongoing charge of $39 per month after that. BUT you can easily cancel… yes, that means you can EASILY cancel (without being upsold or messed around).

StomperNet are, of course, hoping you won’t cancel. Otherwise they are taking a huge risk with this offer. But it truly is up to you whether you want to continue with your subscription or not.

Regardless, and given that canceling is not going to be a problem, there really is no reason NOT to order Stomping The Search Engines 2.

I said yesterday that the course won’t be suitable for either search engine optimization experts OR anyone who doesn’t intend to follow through on the work required for SEO success. While I stand by that, the course may still be worth getting purely to see how a high-quality home-study course is put together!

Seriously, though, if SEO is on your radar, make sure you get this course. Also, order it as soon as it becomes available at 2pm EST today, Wednesday September 3, 2008.

I say that because there is likely to be a HUGE rush for this course, and you don’t want to end up waiting for your copy in case StomperNet rapidly runs out of its initial batch of stock.

So put a reminder in your Outlook / Thunderbird / calendar / alarm to click here at 2pm EST:
