- In James Martell's Affiliate Handbook, he mentions that he focuses on optimizing almost exclusively for Google, since they get the bulk of search engine traffic. But there's been a little bit of controversy lately about some of James's sites being penalized by Google. My personal suspicion is that his sites were excessively cross-linked, and some of them might have had duplicated content. But one ...

While this is a common storyline, Cale's strong characterization and the powerful climax give an otherwise trite subject substance to formulate a solid ...
