Official Statement: Regarding Gallery Traffic Services

Drinkinghard (Mark), I tried to avoid this thread, but after thinking long and hard about it. Plus seeing how I only have a handful of people who "actually" know me and can deny claims of me being this "theif" and "sheister" you are painting me to be....

I had to allocate special time to gather the necessaries to defend myself in this court of our business peers.

Me and you did business for several months.
Over that time a friendship was created.

People say business and friendship don't mix, I disagree...
I'd like to consider myself friends with most if not all my business associates...

But this is a situation of business and a personal friendship crossing lines, and causing confusion...

DH blasted me on here yesterday saying I owed him $1500..
Well here is what really happened....


We did business on cash upfront basis for a few months...

IN THAT TIME...
I purchased a package (I will not say what package as to not drag in that site owners name or site reputation)

I got horrible results from it....
Low traffic, No sales....

I contacted a sales rep, at GTS about my poor results, and the reply I got was basically
"That sucks man"
in return...

I then made a post on GFY stating that I had paid for some gallery traffic and received a package of poo poo in return...

I didn't state who it was, because I was friends with DH..
and didn't want to hurt his business or professional friendship in any way

DH icq'd me the next day angrily and pissed off because he felt I had hinted that it was gallery traffic services who had sold me a bad package.

He told me that he was especially pissed because we were FRIENDS, and that I should have come to him about it, he then stated that if I ever had another problem with a package that he would "take care of it" / "fix it". And not to make posts like that because people would put 2 and 2 together...

He then refunded me for that package

I apologized for making the post....
and in an effort to smooth things out for his business interest "gallerytrafficservices.com", I even changed my sig to promote GTS and endorsed them in the thread as a good source to by gallery spots from....

*Hell why wouldn't I seeing as how we were friends and he refunded my money from the bad package, and told me that he would take care of me if it happened again*


But when packages turned to poo again on me...
I owe him $1500 he says...

He has forgotten his "fix it" statement...
He has forgotten his friendly "I'll take care ot it" statement...


*******For Example********************

My friend OWNS the car dealership, he assured me that if anything went wrong with the car he sold me, that he'd handled it...

I paid a car note for 4 months, drove the car for 4 months.
But on the 5th month..
my car broke down......

Do I owe him that 5th months car payment?

Now factor in his "I'll take care" of it statement of the past and his
"I'll fix it statement of the past"

************************************


Friendship caused a misunderstanding in business.....
Oh and for anybody doubting the validity of my statement...

Here is a link to the old thread, that lead to me being FULLY REFUNDED, even though that there are no gurantees given by GTS on their website. Drinkinghard and I had a conversation that lead me to believe my if I took a massive loss with his packages he would fix it.


In Closing...
Drinking Hard (Mark)

I don't wish any bad towards you, your family, your business, or your reputation...

But you pushed that button yesterday that forced me to talk about things I never planned on discussing publicly...

I have no hard feelings towards you at all...
I'm simply defending myself from your words.

Here is the link of the old thread
