hollow earth? ok i read that site and i'm still at a loss.
he thinks there is a hole near the original magnetic north and south polls that leads to a continent on the inner crust?
What about gravity?
what a scam

Everybody knows in a hollow world, gravity is replaced by inertia (the so-called "centrifugal force" effect). That's how a sling works, and how rollercoasters can make full loops. And the sun is replaced by the magmatic core that "floats" in the gravity center.
Of course, people conveniently forgot that if the rotation was fast enough to have this effect on the inner side, then it would also have this effect on the outer side. Which means a barren, empty surface (assuming the crust itself don't shatter into blocks expelled outwards).
They also forget that the temperature raises steadily the closer you are to the core.
Trip to the Hollow Earth seems about as much a good idea as buying land on the Moon. http://www.moonestates.com/
In both case, you waste money in something that's merely a big joke taking advantage of your naïve credulity.
A notable difference, though: Hollow worlds make cool RPG settings (at least in games that don't rely on hard science, like D&D). While buying stuff you can't reach from someone who can't make a valid claim he owns them is not exciting or exotic.

"Maude! What should we do with that extra $19,000 we have lying around?"
"Well, Clyde, we COULD send our son to college!"
"That's true, Maude...but I think I'd rather go up to that there North Pole, and make sure that the 10 lost tribes of Israel aren't wasting my tax dollars by having a utopian inner-earth society."
"Alright, Clyde!"

Actually, this is personal favorite crackpot conspiracy theory! The only thng more entertaining than the 10 lost tribes hiding beneath the light of an "inner sun" is the idea that there are Nazi/Alien hibreds in the inner earth abducting people in their '40's technology UFOs, and using them to spur on the apocolypse. Wowie Kazowie these people are nuts!
