    So only just over 600 million people don’t read your blog—
    My best guess as to the reason why is these people can’t read

    Chuck,

    Yes, those 600 million probably don’t have Internet access. It is the only explanation I can think of.

    Dean,

    Nice one!

    How do you say “very funny” in Spanish?

    By the way, this message ALSO applies to all those internet marketing idiots who regularly use false income claims and fake testimonials in their ads.

    Not to mention deceptive tactics like well hidden continuity programs.

    Keep rockin’

    Pheew. Only 6 bilion? I had 12 B readers last year. It was so good that they had to read it twice. ;)
    Keep up Dean… You’re the only marketing expert who has my mail in his mailing list… ;)

    Muy divertido (for Mark)

    But I think you should really look at dedicating your time to helping those unfortunate 600 million people get access to your blog.

    Whether, it’s lack of internet access…or an inability to read, the “Dean Hunt Foundation for a Better Blog Reading World” can help!
