This is exactly my situation. The reason that i ever asked for a refund was that Greg had failed to deliver what he had promised. :(

By the way, has anyone given him heads up yet?

HorseShit 06-29-2006 07:17 PM

their is no gurantee when buying textlinks, just cause someone has a big site, doesnt mean the surfer is going to click on a link, anyone with some brain would know that. when buying traffic its all trial and error, do traffic brokers guarntee sales? no of course not.

tranza 07-05-2006 05:39 AM

No response yet? Greg seemed to be a very nice guy when I last talked with him on ICQ.

Meorazhar 07-05-2006 07:01 AM

Fris, my trial and error way showed me that i was getting 8 times less traffic from gregpix than the minumum amount i was promised. I paid for 2 text links, each of them was supposed to send me 500-2000 hits a day. Well, i was getting about 125 clicks daily from both links.

Even if we divide the minimum of what i was promised (1k a day) by 125, this gives us 8 times difference. 4k divided by 125 gives us 32x difference.

This is a fucking business, and I expect to get what i paid for. Don't You Fris? How much longer should i have waited to know i'm not getting my traffic? How do you like paying for something and then getting 8 times less than you should have?

This is my money and of course i understood the risk when buying links, but how could I expect that such a reputable man as Greg will start playing games with me?

Besides that, i had another good reason to cancel the campaign after 2 weeks, which i don't want to discuss now.

But again and again, for those of You who speculate on whether i had a right to demand a refund or not. The only important thing is that Greg had agreed to send me my money for remaining 2 weeks back. Period.

I agree to an extent - but if this guy is to be believed then he is getting about 10% of the traffic that was estimated by Greg. 75% or even 50% and I would say ok - its in the margin of error, but 10%? No way.

It also seems to be backed up by another client. Greg needs to say either the guys a liar, that there is another reason the guys links got really bad click throughs - or issue the refund.

I can just imagine what it would be like in the mainstream world if every time a company paid for an advertising campaign that was unsuccessful, they'd go back to the media and demand a refund. I do believe any media resource worth their mettle would laugh in your face, tell you to pay for a better marketing consultant.

Too bad people in adult don't understand the concept of marketing for the most part.

You may be right. But did you read the original post? His issue isn't that he thinks he should get a refund and Greg won't give him one... it is that Greg agreed to give him a refund and then didn't send it.

but most mainstream publishers wouldnt be stupid enough to give even an estimate of the responses you should expect from your ad.

BTW the text link was $150 - I don't care how good his little traffic is; it isn't worth 30 cents/click.

That's bullshit, I receive a lot more then 15 hits a day from Gregpix.

MaddCaz 07-09-2006 08:10 PM

drama....

Meorazhar 07-25-2006 09:20 AM

It's perfect time for another bump.

Meorazhar 08-10-2006 09:16 AM

Bump for Greg to redeem himself.

And where is the textlink you bought? These aren't galleries moron. Now he's selling the site, needs money, so I don't think the OP will be getting his refund. I never bothered asking for one because I knew the dick wouldn't give me one. I've only had 3 transactions in my life with the site and he has ripped me off on all 3 of them. And each time he gives some lame excuse. I could go into more detail on the excuses he offered this time and the way he tried sending traffic when I complained but what's the point? Suffice it to say even when he switched my link to a blind link in the daily listings (which is not what I bought) to increase traffic it still only received about 100 hits/day. The guy was obviously desperate, he needed money, so he decided to use his reputation to rip off webmasters. This has nothing to do with trial and error, marketing campaign, etc.

tiger 08-19-2006 01:25 PM

Owes me money also.

FreeHugeMovies 08-19-2006 01:31 PM

If he agreed to a refund, then refund the money no matter what reason.

That's your decission to do that which is not what these guys decided to do so your comments are useless here and just show your lack of professionalism in dealing with business disputes.:2 cents:

123design 08-19-2006 04:08 PM

I would say that if you pay for an ad spot and try to pull out after 2 weeks, tough cookies!.. Thats why people take money up front because too many people sling the BS before they buy something. Nothing against you and I would be on your side if you said you wanted a refund within 3 days.. but after 2 weeks forget it.
