Been in the biz 7 years now I have an idea about how much false bragging many do. Also, unless you can verify directly with their bank account/can view their credit history to see how much debt they carry/ get a notarized copy of their tax return or you're talking to a public corp (and unlike Enron ofcourse) you will never know how much of BS anyone's giving you vs how much real. Also, nobody would or should tell you how much they really make cos that should be private. Also, most that have their own proggy will inflate their earnings by approx 10x or give you such impression cos that's part of the marketing and then many will self-deceive by thinking gross and net same shit. Did you EVER hear ANY proggy say they have bad Conversion Ratio?  So don't believe everything you hear (unless again, you were just sarcastic there)

Well, I wasn't being sarcastic.
If someone spends $300 daily on AdWords and makes back $500, then he makes $200 daily profit, thus he makes $6k per month.
He must be stupid to say "I make $15 k monthly in this biz".
Sure, many affiliate programs and different webmasters exaggerate, post fake stats, fake money etc. But If I wanted to exaggerate I'd just say I make $50 k monthly or whatever. When i see someone on GFy saying "I made $7.5 last month", I always assume it's profit.
BTW - I really don't understand the bullshit with fake stats, fake money, pretending you're a player. I think one must be a very insecure person to pretend here he is someone he really isn't , just to gain respect on a message board. And when an affiliate program says the convert at 1:200 and had a record month last month, then it is somethign different. That's just marketing and I am immune to it.
