Going Underground(ish)

This is now going to change. I'm sorry, but people, dare I say it "friends", are copying what I'm doing. So I won't be mentioning any tactics I use or any sites I'm working on.
Update: The person(S) involved have said it's coincidence and anyone "with half a brain" would be doing the same - probs.
I've apologised for getting "the ump" but it still remains I'm going to keep tight-lipped about stuff I'm working on publically. But there still remains a close-knit community that I'll discuss ideas with and give my advice. It's a two-way street. But those of us that do discuss ideas always know that we'd never copy each other in their niches.
This sort of co-operation has made me and one mate in particular probs about £200,000 between us as we'd recommend tools to each other and then pass on what worked and what didn't. I just hope there are more "co-operatives" in the industry.

Really sorry to hear this Lee.
It might not be the avenue that you’d like to go down but could you simply continue with the blog and use it as a platform to air your valued opinion on hot topics and debates within the industry rather than divulge personal success? There's lots of things to be blogging about in the 'colorful' industry of ours :)
Hi Paul,
yeh I'll keep talking about the industry (I wouldn't be able to stop even if I tried). But I won't talk specifics.
First step:
UNLEASH THE HOUNDS

Hey - if you are going to talk about your tactics it is obvious people are gonna try and use them - the key is to only reveal them once they are passed their peak and you're about to move onto other stuff. Plus its all about execution right? Not everyone will be able to do what you do in the same way.
Also look at Shoemoney - he has revealed a lot of his PPC tactics and it's ultimately worked out as he has more readers, more exposure etc etc
