I charge back my (3) $600 Yahoo Listings - Yeahaaaaahh
 

motherfucking yahoo change the way they list and i go from being 1 out of 350 sites to beaing 1 out of 2 millions+ sites.
fuck them!

Good luck with that. I don't remember them promising anything for that $500...even listing your site. All they promise is that they will review your site and maybe list it. They definitely don't guarantee that they will send you traffic even if you're listed. You agreed to their terms when you paid.

the chargeback was finalized this morning, i got one of these platinum visa card, spent 1 hour on the phone with a visa rep, explained to them that yahoo voided the tos the minute they introduced the new listings, and after 4 days i get email telling me that the chargebacks are final and in my favor.
such a shame for yahoo, it sure is going to be a bitch for their chargeback ratio....
anyways, all of you who got suckered the same way should fight those yahoo fuckers

fuck yeah I would have done the same
if I had paid for the listings

Ya, I dont think he will get reembursed for that big of an amount. However, when people signup to our paysites, dont they agree to our terms?

Who would pay that 600.00 scam fee anyway??

I did:(
but $600 a year for 100-250 se hits per hits is not that bad until they changed their listings

Yeah yahoo has really pissed on alot of people. I hate the new format, I had 16 sites listed in the top 5 now there 40+ deep. The funny thing is some of the top 5 sites on my keywords are geocities sites, and the accounts have already been closed. And the spammers are having there way with google on alot of high traffic words. So much for yahoo's relevant search listings.:321GFY

Hey Forplaz
how's living in orlando?
i'm tired of expansive rents in south florida and i love mickey mouse!!!

Yeah Mickey is cool my little girl lives there. Have you ever been to Islands of Adventure they have all the grown-up rides as weel as kid stuff. I live in Waterford Lakes it right down from UCF babe city:winkwink:

They got deals everywhere here far as housing goes.

I get the last laugh because my site is only 2 months old and I haven't been making good SE money for years like the rest of you! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh wait...fuck.

If everyone charged back their listing, it could fuck Yahoo's merchant account up.

But remember, you are charging back because yahoo changed their listings. not because they didn't list your site...

next month in orlando:glugglug

I didn't pay for a listing.... But before paid listing I use to get a shit pot of hit's from Yahoo..... and I remember posting here that Yahoo going to paid listing "it would never work"... I am starting to feel good though...am getting Yahoo hit again... just hope I get as many as before.... Watch Yahoo get back in the porn Biz.... they have stock holder's.... And the stock holder's don't give a shit about the good'ie 2 shoes that complained to Yahoo before about Yahoo getting into the porn Biz...... it's SEX....and it sell's...another thing... who was paying for listings? Paysite's mostly... Most Yahoo surfers want FREE porn at least some FREE porn... (Send'm back to me I'll sell'm) How many surfer's out there do you think have Yahoo as there home page.... Come on back baby am waiting.... "Am so Fucking happy"... People paid for listing...sent the surfer to pop up hell's... changed there home page... downloaded dialer to them... all kinds of crooked shit... I don't know if Yahoo got sued but some of the others search engines did....

Hell someone here posted about Google's key word going to a C/P site...

Well, I doubt I'll be charging back my $600-

it was a one-time fee when I paid for the listing,
they listed the site into both my primary and secondary directory choices,
even with the changes, I'm still getting 200+ daily from dir.yahoo.com,
and my site is still ranked in the top ten on 17 niche-specific search phrases (3 of those at #1 position) on search.yahoo.com.

I'm just glad I have been working with google for 6 months far as my SEO skills. So hopefully next update I will be back up in the top 10 on Yahoo. I'm not charging mine back but not sure if I will renew either.

If alot of webmasters chargeback because of this, yahoo might be added to Visas TMF




:1orglaugh

Yahell, change it back! Man, I lost a lot of traffic because of that jerk job. I really hate playing the SEO game, I always sucked at it :(

I know my work is never done.

lets all get yahoo to charge $600 to our visas - than everyone at once cancel the account. their chargeback ratio will soar and visa will cancel their merchant accounts. Since they won't be able to get any revenue from visa anymore they won't be able to pay their employees or bandwidth and go under - leaving a HUGE void for us vultures to pick up and grow rich on.

Great!
So google can get even bigger and be the next yahoo? No thanks, Google is getting too big for my liking. Although Google brings most of everyone's traffic to their site (most of the SE hits anyway) it's always safer not to put all your eggs in the same basket.

THANK YOU my words for sure.

Chargebacks shouldn't exist. That's a god damn joke. You pay money, your money is gone, simple as that. Or chargebacks should be a LOT harder to do. i.e. a formal investigation has to be done into who owes who money etc. I mean - how can someone use a credit card to buy something as if it's real cash and then say .. hey.. actually no, I don't want to pay for that any more, I'll do a chargeback.

It's bullshit and it shouldn't be allowed. Credit cards have to be the most poorly implemented system in the history of currency. Credit card fraud is so easy to do it's like stealing candy from a baby.

*sigh*

i honestly don't think its even worth paying to get listed on yahoo. most my sites got picked up by yahoo on its own after a month of being in business my free site gets 100-300 hits from yahoo every couple of days. so i never wasted my money on getting listed

Yahoo's directory listing is different than ranking in google (which gets yahoo's overflow search traffic). What we are talking about in this thread is the directory listing which is supposed to rank above all google listings, but now this has changed and they are all mixed in together.

A multi billion dollar void, I would feed of yahoos remains viciously..:winkwink:

Yahoo hasn't been relevant for YEARS. That's how Google got to be so popular in the first place - because everything Yahell touches turns to shit.

It's a way of buying something that you have not seen. Try charging back on a pair of slacks you bought in a shop and signed for.

Or are you saying the buyer has to accept a misleading statement and then if the goods are not as described or do not arrive just put up with it.

If this were the case few would use a CC on the net and everyones income woould suffer. It's because he can CB that he's confident to buy.

oh shit for 600 bucks you only 200-300 hits a day?

damn i get that already and didn't even pay

Having paid a one-time fee of $600 I am very happy with my listing on http://dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Virtual_Cards/Adult/ ... getting about 500 daily hits from there.

Though I guess it won't take long before Yahoo changes the rules for existing listings too :-/

No, I get an extra 200-300 search engine hits daily. Even if I was paying for the listing every year, that's still less than a penny a click-through.

Keeping in mind that search engine traffic is gold, do you know of a better traffic deal?

We never paid for a Yahoo listing, but are now getting 300-400 people a day from Yahoo's search. Woop!

if your site is sticky enough that you always get productivity from SE traffic, then a diet that includes a well balanced pay per click SE campaign might help supplement any reindeer games played at Yahoogle.

Overture, Findwhat, Kanoodle, and Sex.com all provide guaranteed targeted SE traffic, by the click. Some are more expensive than others. Still, economical if SE's work and your sales are proven with them.

New sites and new users to Pay Per Click will have a learning curve that will either drive the frugal webmaster away cursing, or help him develop a tool that in a pinch will virtually guarantee revenue if a strategy is developed successfully.

this is not a wholehearted endorsement for ppc traffic - as it is not for all, only the patient and career minded among us. :thumbsup
