I would hardly discourage threads of this nature. The company in question is derived from two very well known industry elites that have lengthy industry histories. The thread starter posted actual screenshots (although unsatisfactory to some of you, it is more than most threads offer). P2Pads supports GFY.

This thread is neither spam nor drama, it is informative beyond what most threads on this board consist of content-wise. The only 'drama' is opinion and that goes along with every webmaster board thread that allows for 'free posting.'

For the record, Wegcash did not purchase traffic from P2P, they sent it to us as we are one of their programs used. The traffic does well.

Now, for my 'opinion.'

I hardly believe they would discount an account for the sole purpose of a GFY thread. In fact, I would assume most of their marketing comes word of mouth in social circles of entities that can afford the price points. They are not solo girls trying to get 'webmaster signups via 'would you hit it threads,' they have a service that can not appeal to the masses of GFY. If they start offering much reduced price points, then this type of marketing might make more sense. If they are discounting prices in return for spam threads, I would suggest they reexamine their marketing strategies in the 'tactical marketing' arena.

Traffic is traffic, it works for some, and for others it does not work. I doubt CT is lying for a reduced price point, if he is in the market of a 10K price point on traffic, I somehow doubt he is becoming a spam queen overnight for a discount.

A lot of great points on both sides of this traffic debate have been brought up in this thread making it very enjoyable and very much less on par with normal GFY threads. I would encourage more threads of this nature, not less. Franck is entitled to his opinions, but he comes off more abrasive than he likely is in person. DH is not putting anyone on thin ice, he is too busy buying him and his staff pirate outfits and a pirate plank.

Now, lets get this back on track if possible.
