If you run an automated trading script with multiple categories, read this

[spasmo]

Hey,

If you have an auto-submit form for multiple types of trades (i.e, hard link, tgp, niche, etc.), add a comment field to the form.

You have no idea what the submitter wants, and in most cases you do not include contact info for details regarding the trade.

If you are one of these people, add it. If you need help doing so, please contact me and I will point you in the right direction.

Thanks!

[spasmo]

And, just so I don't get pummeled, I'm not talking about Joe. Joe @ joestraffic gave plenty of contact info, and continues to provide feedback to optimize the traffic I send to him.

He may be cursing on the other end, but he never lets on if that's the case.

Had to cover my rear on that one.

yeah, you might want to add that if you trade harlinks with somebody, it's a hardlink trade to boost your PR & link popularity for SE, etc, etc & that it was pretty sneaky of you to remove my links & not say anything to me about it.

You just lost yourself some pr4 & 5 linkbacks.. Not a smart thing to do when you're at 0 & google's pr update is this week.

I sent you four emails over several days and your sites *still* don't come up. I gave you plenty of opportunity to explain why you lost all hosting.

I even went so far as to sign up as an affiliate to help you out as you were down on your luck. Do you remember this? Even though you were "about to be homeless" I signed up to try to send some cash your way. Your response? "I haven't had a sale with them in months so it won't help."

I hardlinked 9 of your sites, including all the PR0's.

I'll post all email threads here if you're going to pull this shit. Do I have your permission to do so?

I will also think twice before I try to help someone who has supposedly been in the business for over two years and still only gets 1k hits per day.

Good luck.

Well, I can't post private conversations without your consent, but I can post what *I* sent. This is from January 16, and I'll continue to post these until you explain why you and your sites pulled a disappearing act:

I found an older one. Dated January 13:

Hi <real name omitted>,

I haven't checked the reciprocals yet, but thank you!

I have good news and (temporary) bad news. The bad is that <deleted> is
being hit by MASSIVE bot traffic so I've paused all campaigns. Once
<deleted> addresses my scrubbing issues (I think I found a way to identify
and filter it) I will turn it back up. This may or may not be before
I get out of bed Friday afternoon.

The good news, though, is that if he can fix this I'll be cranking the
traffic up even higher (anywhere from 20k to 50k uniques per day). If
any of this sounds dubious, email <deleted>. Seriously. After all, you
don't really know me (yet).

I feel bad for having to pause traffic, and also about your situation,
so I've signed up for Mayor's Money with your affiliate ID. I'm not
sure how well any of their sites will convert considering what they
have to compete with on our site, but I'll sure as hell give it a try
for ya!

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,
Doug

p.s. Future replies may temporarily come from <deleted>. My
forwarder has lost its mind. I will receive all email, however.

WHOA! Addendum: I just did a live tail on my access logs and I'm
receiving traffic from <deleted> even though it's paused (i.e., free of
charge). Keep your fingers crossed. I think he's working on it! Woo
hoo!

DO YOU WANT ME TO POST YOUR RESPONSES, DOG?!

[spacedog]

what is your point? Yeah, big deal. The fact of the matter is you wanted HARDLINK TRADES, & then without advising me that you were removing the linkbacks, you removed the link without telling me so.. THAT is what the point of my response was... HARDLINKING is for SE PR & ranking purposes, NOT TRAFFIC, so if what you intended was ONLY TRAFFIC BACK, you should have made this clear, as I did tell you I do not use any trade script & have no way of forcing back to you. I did tell you this, & you were fine with it.

There is a big difference between hardlink trades & traffic trades.. what you asked for was a hardlink trade, which is what you got, however, you are only interested in traffic trades, & there IS a difference. IRREGARDLESS of how many clicks you get from a hardlink, you should always let them know they're being removed so shit like this don't happen.

[AdPatron]

I review each site that is added to my top list.

[spacedog]

and another thing, I just noticed something?

what's this false lies of my sites pulling any disappearance act.. that is complete bullshit and you know it... server was out for not even 20 minutes. & on the following day, webair had it down again for something.. I was online doing blog entries when it went off & it was back on in less than 2 or 3 minutes.. I can get the logs from webair that prove this...

[spacedog]

I sent you four emails over several days and your sites *still* don't come up. I gave you plenty of opportunity to explain why you lost all hosting.

That's another outright LIE.

Why you bullshitting here?
I never got any emails from you for no such thing. *still* don't come up..lol.. what bullshit..... I'm at over 99% uptime & have proof of that. Stop trying to turn tables here... You wanted traffic, but asked for a hardlink trade, you werent getting traffic back, so deleted the linkback.. Plain & fucking simple. Now you're trying to make yourself look better, so make false accusations.

and you better check your click counter, lol.... On the day you claimed you were getting several k traffic, I got 2 uniques from spasmodium. & another of the sites I recall got 9.

[spacedog]

And if my sites were down so much as you claim, I want PROOF of this. I want to know the EXACT dates & times of this, so I can bitch about it with the host. I was online all week & only seen 2 times when it was out. the total downtime was no way over 25 minutes tops, total.

All your linkbacks to spasmodium were up the whole time from day one, up until last night when I did a linkback check on all hardlink trades.

[spacedog]

Here's the thread where you wanted hardlinks.
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=563105

No where at all do you make it clear that what your real intentions were for traffic trades!!

I make a comment about hardlinking & you table turn & make it about traffic..

[spacedog]

Well, I can't post private conversations without your consent, but I can post what *I* sent. This is from January 16, and I'll continue to post these until you explain why you and your sites pulled a disappearing act:
