OMG Machines Reviewed in 2014
Name: OMG Machines
Website URL: www.omgmachines.com
The Price: $45-$2495 (upsells)
Owner: Mike Long & Greg Morrison
My Overall Ranking: 28 out of 100 points.
OMG Machines Product Overview
What Does OMG Machines Stand For?
OMG Machines is yet another product that's designed to teach people how to make cash online. Nope, "OMG" does not stand for "Oh My God" it stands for One Man Gang Machines. It's definitely an interesting name for a product. It makes people wonder what the product is about.
The creators of the product, Greg Morrison and Mike Long, are full-time internet marketers and they have released quite a few internet marketing related products in the past. In fact, Greg happens to be a self made millionaire and he earns a 7 figure annual income from this new product alone. That's from one product. It's definitely not his only source of income. But with all this cash flowing towards Greg it might be logical to assume he's up to some shady business. Let's take a closer look at his new product OMG Machines and see if it truly delivers what it promises.
The launch of this new product back in 2012 sent a nice $1,000,000 straight to Greg and Mike's bank accounts. That's a lot of cash! In fact, it was one of the most successful product launches in the history of product launches. Quite impressive!
But what does the product actually teach people?
Well, it seems to teach people how to make cash online through search engine optimization techniques. It's important to learn how to optimize a website for search engine results. Search engines are the main sources of free traffic for most websites. If you could tap into an endless stream of free traffic, would you?
I know I would.
So OMG Machines teaches people how to rank their websites in search engine results. It delivers this training through PDF files, MP3 files, videos, interviews, and articles. Most of the training material was created by Greg and Mike. They do their best to show people how they built an empire that is solely based on search engine traffic. But do they really want people to make money with this process? Do the techniques that they recommend actually work?
First, Who's Greg Morrison?
Greg Morrison is another individual who has a classic rags-to-riches story to share with the world. He, like most of us, worked for a company that he hated, and ended up quitting the job to pursue his interests.
He started working on a website which is now one of the biggest affiliate websites in the world. In just one year he managed to earn over one million dollars from online sources. At least, that's what he claims. If that's true then it's definitely an impressive accomplishment. It's rare that someone earns that much especially without prior internet marketing experience.
Greg used to work for another online business product called Bring The Fresh (Click to read my review) and he earned so much with the program that he decided to take matters into his own hands. So he created his own product called OMG Machines.
So how did someone who was on the brink of being homeless manage to rake in so much cash in such a short period of time? It's definitely not normal. His main sources of income came from AdSense and affiliate websites. He definitely makes people think that earning cash online is a walk in the park!
But let's not get overwhelmed with his achievements. I know that you're probably waiting for me to point you towards an affiliate link for his product so you can grab a copy and duplicate his techniques. Nope, that's not going to happen. It's incredibly rare for someone to achieve the same level of success. I don't think he would share his real secret to success with the public. You can't expect to earn the same amount that he did. Well, maybe you can, but not through the methods that he recommends.
Personally I think that OMG Machines is just another online business product that is wrapped in a nice shiny package of hype and false promises. These type of products pop up online almost every week. It's not new. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Take a look at the pros and cons below and you'll be able to see for yourself that this product isen't worth your time.
OMG Machines Pros and Cons
- Newbie friendly design with great user interface.
- The step by step guides and tutorials given are remarkably easy to understand and follow.
- No free trial available.
- There's no real training and such. You have a few eBooks, some audio files, and a whole bunch of interviews (which are the real training). You do get a couple over the shoulder looks, but they simply can't compare to real training. If you're an avid fan of boring mp3, and long eBooks, this is for you!
- Most of the product reviews on the Internet about OMG Machines are actually dishonest ones – the reviewers are just out to make money with their affiliate links.
- They tell you to use an article spinner to create spun content. Anyone who knows even a smattering of search engine optimization knows that spun rubbish will ruin your rankings on Google permanently!
- The actual support is unbelievable expensive.
- It's built on a rags to riches mentality. They'll try to convince you that you'll make thousands of dollars in a few weeks. Just another "Get Rick Quick" scam that doesn't deliver.
Who is OMG Machines For?
Well, like most internet marketing products, it's aimed at beginners. The product is basically designed for everyone. It does include some useful advice on search engine optimization. But at the same time a lot of the advice is outdated and doesn't take the latest Google updates into consideration.
Training and Tools
You have two packages available at OMG Machines.
The Commission Conspiracy Part 1
It teaches people how to make Squidoo lenses. Guys, Squidoo is now Hubpages. It's not an effective way to make cash online. It shutdown.
Part 1:
- You get a 52 page eBook followed up with a series of mp3 files. There are links to different videos that promise you online success.
- Magic Submitter, is a helpful tool that submits your article to lots of article directories. Excuse me, article directory submission doesn't work anymore. People abused the technique until Google had to penalize article directories.
- A guide on how to optimize your YouTube videos for Google and drive a ton of traffic to them. This is a little bit more useful. Still works.
- Interviews between Greg and other successful Internet marketers that show you exactly what they've done to achieve financial freedom from an online work at home business.
The Commission Conspiracy Part 2
- A guide on how to build your website and attract a steady flow of top-notch targeted traffic.
- Greg shows you how to improve conversions with Word-press.
- Fourteen videos created by Greg & Mike that show exactly how Greg gets his website to rank #1 in Google in a local niche.
- Numerous reports and testimonials from successful internet marketers.
- A guide on how to set up your e-mail marketing campaigns.
The first package costs $45 and the other package costs $99.
Not too bad. At least that's cheaper than Empower Network. But there a few things that you need to know about before you sign-up.
For one, the minute you gain access to the members area you're bombarded with up-sells. Even if you purchase the up-sell there's another one right around the corner.
Secondly, Squidoo is free for everyone. You don't need special permissions to create an account. Anyone can make an account. Guess what? Squidoo has their own training on how to create successful lenses. You don't need to pay $45 to learn something that you can learn from free right on the Squidoo website.
(2014 update: Squidoo has been replaced with HubPages)
OMG Machines Support – Is It For Real or What?
If you're looking for some personal training then OMG Machines has what you need… If you have a small fortune to spend.
- Access to a facebook Greg, where you can instant message Greg during his office hours.
- Live webinars twice a week.
- Support from Greg on Skype ONLY during office hours.
- 1-on-1 support from his team on anything you don't understand.
- Access to Greg's exclusive e-mail address.
For a "Steal" price of $2500!
OMG Machines Plans and Pricing
Commission Conspiracy Part 1 will cost you $45, while the second part of the same will cost you $99.
However, if you want the added support and 1-on-1 coaching Greg offers, then you'll have to pay up to $2500!
You can choose to do it in three ways:
- A one-time payment of $2299
- Three payments $799 each ($2397 total)
- Five payments of $499 each ($2495 total)
Yeah, if I was starting to earn money online for the first time, I definitely wouldn't invest all my cash into this system.
A Final Glance
OMG Machines is a SCAM!
It's quite obvious.
The product doesn't deliver as much value as it claims and charges people an insane amount for some generic advice. I'm sure Greg and Mike are decent people but they have a lot of work to do in order to make this product presentable. The information contained in the "course" is completely outdated.
Nobody will make cash with these techniques anymore. It's clear that this system is mainly designed to send cash to Greg and Mike.
Summarized Overview
Name: OMG Machines
Website URL: www.omgmachines.com
The Price: $45-$2495 (upsells)
Owner: Greg Morrison
My Overall Ranking: 28 out of 100 points.
If you have any personal experience with this program or anything related to Greg Morrison? I would really appreciate to hear all about it. This really helps others out there!
You want to know what's really gonna make you money? Something that you can do for absolutely FREE? Then you need to see my #1 ranked online service (98 out of 100 points)! See the review here!

An adventure that just started from a single email to saving the digital world has changed our lives. Some of us learn from mistakes; some of us became stronger and fight for what is right; some of us discover things that never in our lives would happen
But all of us made friends and learned to value what true friendship is.
It's been 4 years since then. Everything changed from the first day we came back from the Digiworld. And yes, we also grew since then.

The day after the quake everything seemed back to normal; Taylor ended up surprising his mother the day before with the surprise visit, and he and Arianna stayed up most of the night talking about Digimon, men, and other crazy things.
They soon became best friends.
Taylor woke up that morning after staying up all night with Arianna and made his way down the stairs, putting his mother's tea pot on the stove so he could make himself a cup of chocolate Chai tea. Not too long after Taylor put the tea pot on, Arianna cane down the stairs as well, wincing at the bright light in the kitchen.
"You know you're crazy Taylor we just went to bed, like, five hours ago, and if I'm going to be up this early, make me some coffee." Arianna said, looking at the clock that was hanging on the wall. Taylor laughed, taking two cups down from the shelves where his mother always kept them. Grinning slightly, he put a tea bag in one and a large spoonful of instant coffee in the other.

Digimon Season 2.5 "Digimon Adventure 03!"
Episode 1: "A Dream Come True"
.:Native Forest, Digital World:.
The Digital World was usually a happy and bright place where Digimon lived with no fear and roamed around the beautiful lands. But today would mark the day the world would change. 25 years of peace was about to be disturbed
The day that had started out as a bright and warm sunny morning, had changed into a dull, cloudy and cold afternoon. The sun had disappeared from high in the sky, substituted by grey clouds that would burst with rain at any moment.
No sign of life were anywhere. Usually in the Native Forest you could hear the bird Digimon singing or the bug Digimon moving in between the plants and trees.
But today it was so quiet you could probably hear a pin drop. The only sign of life was coming from the clearing situated in the middle of the forest. It was dull. Not as dark as in the depths of the forest but the large branches and leaves blo

It had been AGES since I'd played through this game. Oh, the nostalgia. Pokemon Crystal! This had been my very first game ever. It was the game that introduced me to all the other video games I played now, and for that, it definitely held a special place in my heart.
I grabbed my old GameBoy color and my Crystal version. The cartridge sparkled slightly in the dim light cast across my room by the twilit window as I inserted it into my trusty Gameboy Color. The game started up and everything worked to perfection.

I had an Acekard 2, which is like a game cartridge for the DS, except you could download multiple games and stick it on the one game cartridge. I tried to put Pokemon Black and White 2 on it before, but it wouldn't work because my Acekard 2 wasn't updated and I was never good at fixing these sort of things. So I got my cousin to finally do it for me, and he put Pokemon Black 2 on there for me as a bonus.
I started playing it for a while, and then played a bit each day. I got up to Castelia City, and as always I have to check every building, cause I hate missing good items I can get. I went through every building, and when I reached the final building in Castelia City, I noticed something strange.

Of Hope and Light. ch. 1Of Hope and Light. ch. 13 years ago in Romance More Like This
His presence brings Hope to the hearts of those around him.
She brought Light to his life when his world seemed empty.
Late in the evening, a light descended over downtown Reverse Side. It started off small, like a glowing orb. But as it came closer to the buildings it quickly grew in size. From the light 3 pairs of large shining wings emerged. This was followed by the form of a young man who was robed in opal fabric, a cerulean sarong, and trailing blue sash, its fabric the color of the deepest blue ocean. In the man's right hand he held a staff which was shining gold in the sunset light. Covering his face was a steal helm, a two bands of steal formed a cross over it. The effect of the helm made him look similar to a blind prophet.
As the light faded only the man remained. He quietly watched the city. Taking in its splendor, watching the lights and the cars below from behind his steal helm. The wings on his back never moved. They were not for flying. As an angel, he had the abi

Though he is alone, it's as if he is surrounded by memories of days when he felt alive.
"When was it?" He thought to himself.

The face of the man he hated, danced in a distant memory before his eyes.
The man who started everything.

As she stood locked in her embrace with N, Touko noticed that his breathing had become ragged and shallow. She pulled away from him slightly and looked up at his now tear stained face.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed. "Please don't cry, N. I know it's hard for you to touch people." She released her grasp on his waist and, before stepping back from him, gently wiped away the tears from his face.
"No, it's not that " he started. He sighed and crossed his arms in frustration. Why was it so hard to find the words when he knew what he felt? He closed his eyes as he tried harder to find the right thing to say to her.
"N?" she said after several moments of awkward silence. "Is everything okay?"
"Yes," he said dejectedly, annoyed at his inability to frame his thoughts.
"Come on," she said playfully. "Out with it already."
He opened one eye and cocked his head to the side, his long green hair swishing behind him like a tail. "I guess I

Chapter 5:
Touko practically floated back to the tent, riding a wave of new found euphoria. The forest passed in a green blur, her mind too full of fanciful thoughts to focus on what was happening around her. As N towed her along back to the clearing, she played their kiss over and over in her head.
It wasn't the first time she had ever kissed anyone, but in a way she felt it was. This kiss, though innocent and sweet, was filled with passion in a way that none that had come before it had ever been. She sighed dreamily as she focused on how tightly he had his fingers currently twined in hers. She felt like a lovesick school girl and, though she despised feeling so childish, she luxuriated in the new feelings of desire that now pulsated through her body and mind.
They arrived back in their campsite just before the sun had completely set. Touko dropped her bag on the ground and sat on a log next to the entrance of the tent. She shivered violently as the wind whipped

It was already dark outside when I got home. Outside, it was pretty stormy and thunder and lightning are crossing the silence of the night occasionally. I only just returned from an important meeting. It was pretty exhausting and accordingly I was tired. I dropped my briefcase on one of the chairs. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I can sleep in.
Normally I would have worked on Sundays, but since you are with me, Katsuya, we did something else on Saturdays and Sundays. Even on holidays you broke me free from work. How did you always manage it? You were truly a mystery to me sometimes, even though we were married for about half a year already. Smiling, I walked into my room and looked to our bed in which I suspected you. I turned on the lights and stood still unable to move. I thought I couldn't believe my eyes. This was not true.
You lay on the bed with Mokuba. Well, the idea of it is nothing unusual. I have already seen it a lot of times but this time I had no words. The thing that did not fit

Time had passed and we all headed towards our seats. Once we arrived we waited and waited, but Rita and Mimi hadn't returned. Just then Matt and his band came out. The crowd cheered really loudly, as the band started to play. He had finished two songs at this point but all I could think about was where Mimi and Rita had gone. "Sorry about that" I looked over to see Mimi take the seat next to me. "Where's Rita and where were you?" I asked. "Oh you'll see." Mimi replied giving us a smile. "Huh?" Everyone spoke, but then Mimi pointed to the stage. "Hey everyone thanks for coming out tonight." Matt spoke to the audience. "I have a special guest here tonight, a very good friend of mine, as well as a new member of my band, please welcome, RITA" Matt yelled out. Our mouths dropped in shock. We all looked at each other, Mimi just smiled. But then, I looked at the stage, it got dark, then light again. I froze as I saw Rita standing on the stage wearing a beautiful white dress. She blu

*It was a typical early afternoon in New York City, it's streets busy with heavy lines of traffic and the bustling of crowds going about their daily lives. On this very day, a tall teenage boy was walking down the sidewalk amongst crowds and crowds of busy New Yorkers going about their daily lives. The boy had dark brown hair, wore a black Greek Fisherman's cap, a pair of black sunglasses, a long black coat, and turtleneck shirt. His name was Robert Willis and he was en route to meet a particular individual amongst New York's busy crowd. Turning a corner, he came across another teenager, about an inch shorter than him, leaning on a traffic post. A rather pale teenager, he had scraggly black hair that matched the black shirt with a white skull on the front, a spiked collar around his neck, black wrist bands, nearly a dozen belts around his pants, and a pair of black shoes with spikes on top.

"Once upon a time, there was a young Prince who lived in a castle in a faraway land. The Prince had lived in the castle his whole lifehe was even born thereand knew very little of the world outside of his home. He was not troubled by this as a young child, for what more could the world possibly have to offer him that was better than the luxury of his castle?
"The Prince had no siblings and never knew his mother. His father, the King, had always found his son peculiar; he would spend hours on end talking to the Pokémon he brought home as if he could understand what they were actually saying. He chalked it up to the innocence of youth, a child's imagination. His son truly was a romance seekerhe was always off in his head, dreaming of places he had read about or seen in pictures. The King was particularly troubled by this; he wanted a scion who was worthy of bearing the title of King of Team Plasma, not a foolish day-dreamer
Digimon vs. PokemonQuite some time ago, there was a big war between these two franchises. It's not so bad with Monster Rancher, but I think that's only because it doesn't have "mon" at the end of its title. I would like to go further into which one I think is better. Remember, this is my opinion, not yours. Also, I will not be covering Digimon Xros Wars as it's only up to 7 episodes in Japan thus making it too early to judge. I also can't count Pokemon Black/White as it hasn't been made yet.Digimon vs. Pokemon4 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This
Now before I begin, I just gotta say one thing: DIGIMON IS NOT A POKEMON RIP-OFF!!! So many Pokemon fans refused to give Digimon a chance just because of the mon at the end, and it led them to believe that it was a direct rip-off when in fact both are different from one-another with the exception of the fact that each one has pet monsters in it. (You could easily make the same rip-off claims towards the recent Monster Racers game. That doesn

Chapter 7:
Touko awoke the next morning to N gently pulling his shirt over her head. She laughed as it got stuck over her face and N desperately tried to disentangle her from it. Exasperated, she sat up and tugged it off and handed it to him, a smile playing on her sleepy face. She sighed as she watched him redress; she had dreamed of him all night long. She felt her face growing red as she allowed herself to revisit them and immediately wished that she hadn't.
N stretched out his long limbs, yawning groggily. Touko smiled as she took him in, stifling a laugh more than once as she took in his ragged clothing. She then remembered that she currently looked just as ridiculous and fell back into her sleeping bag in annoyance. She rolled on to her side and pulled her bag over to herself. She rifled through it until she found her cell phone.

Digimon Zone X: The Time Hunters Series SetupDigimon Zone X: The Time Hunters Series Setup3 years ago in Settings More Like This
Series Composition
A sequel series to Digimon Zone X that adapts and reinterprets Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time.
The main villains at the start of the series are "Alias Xros" Ryouma's team and "The Paragon Gang" Makoto's team. Additional "evil" Hunters Gaoh and the "Dramon Hunters" will appear occasionally. Main rival Reiji Shinnosuke mysteriously doesn't appear for the majority of the series run, but his younger self will appear. Poindexter Hofstadter is currently assisting (and dating) Nene in her idol career, but he does study the nature of DigiQuartz upon discovering it.
The main goal is to reinterpret the series with more of the original rules and concepts of the original Xros Wars in place in addition to adding on to the concepts used in Hunters: DigiMelodies, DigiXrossing, DigiQuartz, more exposure and usage of additional partner Digimon, etc. Another important goal is to write episodes with more "punch" compared to the original canon.

Touko dried herself off with a towel she had packed away in her bag. She sighed, indulging in the feel of the soft fabric against her newly cleaned skin. She gave her unruly hair a few shakes, combing out the few remaining knots with her fingers. Her muscles were still agonizing to move, but the warmth of the water had helped to loosen them up slightly.
She wrapped the towel around her, its vast softness encircling her like a hug from a familiar friend. She instantly thought of the few awkward hugs she had shared with N over the last few days. It was strange, but still she could not help finding herself thinking about him. She put her head in her palms in exasperation; this was so unlike her. She rarely did anything so impulsive; now, however, she felt herself being carried from one flight of folly to the next.
The wind was starting to pick up and even with the excessively fluffy towel wrapped around her, she felt herself shivering. "N

Late Wednesday night management posted a comment on Facebook saying gas would only be a $1.99 per gallon, and as you can expect drivers all over the area took advantage.
"Two dollar gas, $1.99 a gallon, can't beat that price," said Fluvanna County resident Craig Eagerton.
That is what dozens of drivers were thinking Thursday morning as they pulled into the Exxon at Lake Monticello.
"I literally drove by, said what are all these people doing here, and turned around. Glad I did," said Fluvanna County resident Katie Rea.
It was a move to get the word out about all of the new upgrades to the gas station.
"This store just recently expanded the lot, all new pumps, a lot more pumps, fastest pumping station in Central Virginia, more horsepower and we're just trying to thank our customers," said Gordon Sutton, Tiger Fuel Company district manager.
Drivers only had a two-hour window between 7-9 AM to cash in on the cheap gas and the cars just kept rolling in up until the deadline.
While dozens of drivers spent the morning racking up the cheap gas, many all over the country are experiencing similar feelings of excitement.
"Gas has been nice. It has gone down, it has cost less this summer for us to go places so that's been good," said Rea.
According to AAA Mid-Atlantic, gas prices have been steadily decreasing, despite the many conflicts around the world.
"I'll pull in the pump one day, its $3.45, I pull in the next day and it's down to $3.25. It's kind of surprising that it's going down with everything going on in Iraq," said Fluvanna County resident Chad White.
Experts say there is an excess of oil nationwide which has helped gas prices remain relatively low this summer.

The paper is great quality, and I was able to personalize it to include details for both my ceremony and reception instead of using an additional card. I've received so many compliments from our wedding guests about the invitations...very classy and it fits our style perfectly!"
"I saw this design and knew it would be a perfect invitation to our court house wedding. The price was right and the invitations arrived within 2 weeks. The paper was quality card stock. Overall I was quite pleased."

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
"Rich and creamy" describes Vonda N.'s Velvet Shrimp.
"Topped with seafood, a white sauce and cheese, this linguine dish is a fast, easy meal," Vonda says from Anchorage, Alaska.
After just a forkful of the pasta, the Healthy Cooking staff was determined to capture the flavor of Vonda's specialty while skimming back on the calories and fat.
A standard serving of pasta is 2 ounces, as opposed to the nearly 3-ounce servings the original recipe called for. As a result, our makeover experts slightly decreased the amount of pasta.
Because half-and-half cream replaced the dish's heavy whipping cream, flour was added to thicken and stabilize the sauce. We substituted part-skim mozzarella cheese for the Muenster called for in the original recipe. These changes helped decrease the fat in Makeover Velvet Shrimp while offering all of the succulent taste.
The revised entree has 268 fewer calories and 69% less fat per serving than the original recipe. It also cut nearly half the cholesterol and over a fourth of the sodium, but it's still a seafood delight.
