Full of shit? think so? how many picks and tips have I invested in that makes me money in less than 6 months ? 95%, that's how many. I don't think etys is the one that is going to prove me wrong. I have heard all this doom and gloom before, its part of the game that goes with the buying against the herd mentality.

The research was conducted by Resource Marketing Inc. of Columbus, Ohio, and was published in Fortune's Feb. 21 issue. Resource Marketing described the research as "the industry's most rigorous and disciplined study to date." The company "stress-tested" each site on more than 80 separate measures, including site navigation, product presentation, customer service and shipping. The effort simulated more than 500 customer interactions and required that researchers spend a minimum of 20 hours on each site, nearly 200 times that of the average shopper. eToys led all companies and particularly outpaced its principal competitors. The top six spots were held by Internet pure-plays. More information on this study can be found at www.resource.com. eToys recently reported strong financial results for the holiday quarter. Net sales more than quadrupled to $107 million and cumulative customer accounts nearly tripled to 1.7 million.
