In fairness to GTS they ARE giving us half the $ back. I'm very unhappy and I will never purchase from GTS again. I contacted them several times and was told simply that our thumbs must not be popular. I guess I'm not a big enough Bro to get decent fucking traffic I pay for.

So this right here cost me $150 and prolly an ass reaming from my boss:

That's a terrible ratio, you can't possibly blame that on GTS... the sites are 3rd party sites, if no one profited from them GTS would drop them.

Of course people loose money, if making money with paid spots was as simple as buying spots and sending in your galleries everyone would do it. It takes a lot of time and research to find out what works and where, and you will loose money sometimes.

People that complain about paid spots being a ripoff are the same as the people that load up google adwords accounts, link to a sponsor tour, add a ton of keywords, then wonder why it's costing them more than they're making.
