Looks like the jury has decided in this "court of our business peers" that you need to pay GTS and cut your losses.

Oh yeah and I think you owe the 5th car payment too.

rollinOn20s 01-21-2005 05:41 PM

Thats really odd, cause my roommate, who is really good friends with the GTS crew, and ecpecially DH, as he went to his B-day party last night, has had nothing but good things to say about him, and or his business practices. So far it seems like you're the only one who has had lots of problems with them.

psyko514 01-21-2005 05:48 PM

I can't believe this thread was even started. Pay GTS what you owe them.

I have yet to deal with a more professional bunch than GTS. They are always there to help and go overboard. They are about the only people you can say that about in the traffic biz.

You bought a placement, not sales fool.

Grow up or move to the wading end of the pool.

Stupidity at its finest

Sosa 01-21-2005 06:47 PM

wow you bought a spot, it didn't convert. you still owe em money

Choker 01-21-2005 07:16 PM

Very very rarely will I post in a thread about another broker, but I can't resist this one.

Dude you make a post complaining about GTS thinking DH will read it, which he did, then he gave you your money back. Here is the link of the old thread

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...um%2Flante rn


Then right after that you spammed GTS in the same thread? Why would you spam him if you think his traffic is bad? Where is your conviction man? This point alone says a lot about you. $1500 that's cheap to buy someone. You must feel like a hooker after her very first trick. Used and bought, cheap I might add.

The car thing? LOL, try it and watch the repo man tow your car away.

As far as the spot, well you KNOW you owe him the money. BE A MAN and Pay your debt.

TheSenator 01-21-2005 07:42 PM

this is a good thread to use for future reference......bookmarking now.

I pay for traffic and it is sometime a hit or miss. One day I can get 20 sign ups and the next maybe 2. Buying traffic is not a short term deal that would yield results for future traffic purchases. The learning curve for purchasing traffic is a steady one and does not rise sharply.

muahahahahah

Sorry to hear things didn't work out. I can't say that I believe a refund was ever due, if there is one thing that can't be guaranteed it's traffic in our industry. I still don't see the point of making a thread on GFY for any of this. Would it have been that hard to call him and say everything on your mind?

Cheers,

Brad

I once purchased a text link via GTS, and had some disappointing results (only received about 5-10% of the clicks-per-day estimate I was given before I decided to go with it). After a bit of discussion they gave me a pro-rata refund. I'm reasonably happy with that result. That's all I wanted to say.

Platinum Lantern 01-21-2005 08:58 PM

See..
thats what I like about GFY..
everybody has an opinion..
my whole entire point is....

If somebody..
especially The Owner of a company gives me a refund on a package..
and tells me that if there is ever another problem they'll take care of it..

Thats what DH said..
and he can't deny the refund or the "I'll fix it" "I'll take care of it part"....

He said it..
he did it...

So I took at that
I believed him

but shit went sour....

I see it now..
as him talking to me as a friend, and not as a business man, when he gave the refund and made the "assurance" statement....

I'm willing to try and settle this...
but a phone conversation is necessary...

DH icq me with a working cell....
my people will get the info and pass it on to me

I will call you within a week if at all possible

I know Mark personally and today he is not around to defend himself. I have done business with GTS and always got exactly what I paid for. Gallery placements. It's YOUR job to do the selling not GTS's.

Didn't you lose some nice coin on that billboard campaign?

slapass 01-22-2005 08:16 AM

DH and GTS have rocked for me. BUT if you had a guarentee. They need to make good on the agreement. What everyone is failing to realize is like most of us you would have moved on after the first package tanked and not gone back but the guarentee kept you buying as you were in a riskless situation.

All the holier then thou "advertising is a risk" is BS. You should be able to rely on the deal made.

Did he really have the guarentee, now that is the question.

69pornlinks 01-22-2005 08:19 AM

you're not the only would have got shitty results from them...in a thread not too long ago someboy said the same...and he got 'insulted' for his opinion :1orglaugh

sherie 01-22-2005 08:33 AM

Wiredguy is correct along with the majority of people here. It's a good thing you got a refund the first time.

RedShoe 01-22-2005 08:36 AM

If I buy an ad on a billboard on the side of the freeway, and I get good results to my taco stand for which the billboard is advertising, then I'm a happy taco vendor. I do this for 4 months and I make out ok. On the 5th month, I sell no tacos.. should I have to pay for the ad on the billboard?

FUCK YES!!!!

Fuckin' NON TACO EATIN' MUTHA FUCKAS!!!!

realed 01-22-2005 08:42 AM

DrinkingHard(Mark) and GTS offer a great service.

Sometimes advertising works, sometimes it doesn't....

That's business for you.

Peaches 01-22-2005 08:43 AM

Mark giving you the refund the first time was a favor to you. He didn't have to do it and you've done nothing but prove what a good guy he is by bringing it up.

As others have stated, when you buy traffic, ads, etc. you take what you get. It looks like you wanted to again take advantage of a friendship and Mark being a good guy to get your money back a second time. You looked the gift horse in the mouth. :(

Drinkinghard, Magnus and GTS are as good as they come, so if you're having problems with them when others aren't, you might want ask YOURSELF why that is......

LadyMischief 01-22-2005 08:46 AM

You have yo understand that traffic is a dynamic thing, hardly static. EVERY site is going to have it's ups and downs, and traffic is never always going to perform exactly the same every time.. It's a changing trend. Did you think, perhaps, that you were promoting the wrong type of site with the traffic package you bought? TGP traffic is HIGHLY niche-driven, and you can sell one paysite on one set of traffic, and have great results, and turn around and try to market the same site to different traffic, and do TERRIBLY. Blaming GTS for the woes is not goign to change the fact that traffic is a wild card, and expecting results to be perfect every time is unrealistic to the max. The sites that GTS sells packages for have AMAZING traffic, if you are promoting the wrong site with the traffic, I don't care HOW amazing the traffic it, the site won't sell. THere a million different factors involved in gallery spots... The results could have been from anything... The gallery design didn't convert, the niche was wrong, whatever. I don't see how anyone could blame GTS, Mark, or even the tgps for unpleasing results. It's called "try and try again". It's a shame all this has come to the boards the way it has, I was stunned to see this thread. But I must say that I'm surprised you wouldn't have realized previously that NOTHING involving traffic is 100% guaranteed.

Stop crying and trying to convince everyone of your divine rightness. You are in the wrong and should pay up. As far as I'm concerned, Mark went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty and professionalism, and if it was ME, you would NEVER have gotten that first refund. I have NEVER known Mark and the GTS crew NOT to go FAR out of their way to make a customer happy. In any other industry, paying him would NEVER even BE in question.. You'd pay up or go to collections.

The most interesting thing about this thread is how nice people are being to someone who continues to be a total dick head. Rather than having something that's very, very simple to comprehend explained over and over he simply needs to STFU and pay the money he owes. Then anyone else considering doing business with him needs to think long and hard about it first.

Nicky 01-24-2005 06:42 PM

You buy traffic, its you job to convert it......sure if they guaranteed you a certain amount of hits and you didnt get it than you can bitch abit.....

Pete 01-24-2005 06:44 PM

Traffic brokers dont gaurantee results you fuckin no mind.

Thurbs 01-24-2005 06:53 PM

choker said it best, as he called them brokers. if you really want to be a bitch platinum lantern, why not contact the TGP? GTS brokers the spots, they don't sell them, they are the middle man for sites that would rather see the money than have to actively collect it. so just to start, you're barking at the wrong tree.

you should just pay DH what you owe him, GTS brokered your spot into a TGP and therefore paid that TGP some money feeling that you would then pay them. You were basically fronted a spot, and now you're just welching on that.

Here's the real life example of your situation. You get fronted a pound of weed from the dealer, but no one wanted to buy from you. Do you not pay the dealer? No, the dealer, just breaks your face and takes the weed back.

Amazing... you actually refunded him the first time DH?!? That's a heart of gold right there. Time to cut this friendship though and collect what this guy owes you.

iwantchixx 02-20-2005 01:57 PM

if you ordered a hooker but she fucked like shit, aren't you still suposed to pay for the services?

Pay up man, Save your rep and do the right thing.

It really depends on so many factors that its very difficult to predict how well something will do. But in the end, GTS is just brokering the transactions and if Mark even offered you a refund, consider yourself lucky. A bad buy is not GTS' fault, but a combination of factors. I'd just absorb the losses and move on to a different site...

WG

exactly. if i buy a text link on a site and i dont get a sale pointing to my pay site. i cant complain and get my money back. it could be the surfer wasnt interested, my site could have sucked. you decided to go through with the package. they do not say you will get x amount of sales.

He probably meant that he would take care of it with you and make sure that you walk away happy, good customer service; not necessarily promising to eat the cost of the spot for the second time. He seems to run good business; he could have sold your placement to another that would have been happy with it.
