I just got an interesting email that had the following link:
http://www.theconsumerstandard.com/beautyo.php?sub=oUST1
You hit this site and for a split second you think this is a reputable report about teeth whitening. Hey, we’re all interested in that. And as you dig in and read about the so called housewife who discovered the secret to white ivories, you get the pitch: you have to buy two products in order to achieve the miracle results. One simply will not suffice.
I can’t say for sure, but my bet is both products are developed by the same group of peeps. And they’re making a killing - as reflected in the sheer volume of advertising they’ve been pumping out.In the last 3 months, the domain has shot up from #354,908 in site traffic to #76,156 - not bad. Points to what can happen if you have a good story and marketing angle, a product that has the potential to deliver, and some smart advertising.
Just for fun - remove the extraneous url page info and just go here:

Same model, this time for a weight loss product. Ca-ching.
