100K Uniques Per Day Site selling Links.

[PGZ]

I have finally got things straight and the automated system is in place and the time has come to open it up.

There was a waiting list for my other site but when I PMed people about openings they would say just pass them up cause they didnt have the money now. Saying as my time is valuable I dont have time to be chasing people down or reminding them to pay.

This is first come first serve and is fully AUTOMATED. If you dont renew your link will automatically drop off and an opening will appear on the site and anyone can hit that opening and go through the process and the link will be up as soon as payment is made. While you are going through the process the link will show pending so no one else can claim it until I approve or disapprove the request. Once I approve the application you will get an email telling you what to do next. Make sure you use an email that is valid and that you check often.

There are 2 sets of Links available. The top links in the Nav Bar up top that say Advertise Here $125 per week and $400 a month and the at the bottom of the index there are another 6 that are ALOT cheaper $30 a week and $120 a month BUT they are only on the main index page and arent sitewide as the Top links are Sitewide.

The prices are listed on the site along with the stats.... When you click one of the positions that say Advertise here. Remember this site is HUGE and gets ALOT of traffic. I advertised on MySpaceSupport and I paid over $1200 for the month for another site and they get what they say 160,000 Uniques a day. If you take these prices in comparison to that this is a deal.

Remember also. Your objective is to build traffic and get your links on MySpace which will bring in more traffic. If you think the traffic sent will make you enough Rev to cover the cost of the link you just bought then you are looking at things in the wrong light.

It might do that but if it doesnt you are still building traffic and links from MySpace.

I will tell you this. This site DOES NOT concentrate on Layouts and I get massive emails asking for them. The only Layouts on the site are the ones that were there and then maybe a couple others. But this isnt this site Niche so I think someone that has a Layout site will do quite well.

I did contact through PM here and email the people that have links on my one site about the site opening Link sale but only one person has contacted me back and is now going through the sales reg.

www.CommentYou.com is the site. Already 102,126 Uniques today with almost 2 hrs left in the day and if you look at the site at the very top center under Add Us as Friends you will see a number under it. That is the actual # of people on the site. That number isnt inflated and is a live number.

If you have a link pending and fail to pay after 4 hrs your pending link will be cancelled and opened back up for someone else to purchase it.

[jeremy860]

wow, nice traffic man, I pity you..

How much estimated uniques would it send me for the top sitewide spot?

[PGZ]

Jeremy I really stay away from that question cause what happens today may not happen tomorrow.

Saying the site DOES NOT concentrate on Layouts but only Comments and some Generators. It really depends.......All I can say is your link is exposed to over 100K Uniques per day and if they click it then cool if they dont I cant control that.

I wont give you a number and then you not get it. Your tag controls alot of what happens.

[MrBuy]

Nice deal. Give me a couple more days and I'll take a top site wide for a week to give it a run. See how it goes. Hopefully 1 will be left. :)

[PGZ]

People that have gotten links should already start seeing Traffic come your way.

And no past advertisers have told you how much traffic they received from purchasing a link from you?

[PGZ]

And no past advertisers have told you how much traffic they received from purchasing a link from you?

Did you even take the time to READ my post...........I just OPENED up links sales. Saying I just opened it up this means this is the first time I have sold links on this site so how can I get past advertisers to tell me what they have got when there hasnt been any ????????????????????????????????????????????

I do not appreciate the idea that I of all people on this site is HIDING something rob.

If you READ you wouldnt be posting such a question.

[fryman]

If there are a couple of spots open I will take them for one month, just let me know the price.

[minnseoelite]

Just filled out your form for a home page link.......hopefully in a few weeks I can buy a sitewide :)

[PGZ]

If there are a couple of spots open I will take them for one month, just let me know the price. There all gone for sitewide just waiting on payment for 3 of them. They will be deleted after 4 hrs of non-payment.

fair enough. did'nt know this was your first time selling links on here for this site. Unfortunately I am broke right now. But I have bookmarked it and will return when I have the proper funds.

Thanks

[minnseoelite]

Cool up and running instantly after payment :)

[money_train]

werent the advertisers on the other sites supposed to get preference on this.
please pm me if there is an upgrade available from your other site to this site.
thanx

[kidder]

If you can PM me I would like to ask you some questions removed from the forum.

Thanks.

[PGZ]

thanx

Yep sure were and if you check your email you will see something from me that went unanswered since last night.

[edit]

Up and running right after Payment. Pretty Sweet. Hope the link position is good, plan to renew if all goes well. Thanks PGZ for the quick service.

[jeremy860]

let us know how it goes.

[money_train]

Yep sure were and if you check your email you will see something from me that went unanswered since last night.

i never got that mail of yours.
and i have been mailing you for information on this on and off i guess.
also different time zones. please shoot me a pm now and i will answere it asap
thanx

[PGZ]

PM sent awaiting reply.

[PGZ]

All Links have been sold to this point. Check Back at the site to see if any openings are there. If there is then Go for it.

[money_train]

as usuall its a pleasure dealing with PGZ have the link up and running. am sure its going to be a good deal.
thanx once again

[jakkz]

Expressing interest, if any pendings fail, I'd be delighted to pay asap

[Scilynt]

I thought you were going to email down the list of those waiting from the other sales thread. You mentioned that first those already on would have the option to move then you would go down the list...

Oh well, I'll try to jump on if there is an opening sometime.

[PGZ]

After going down the list with no replies or just skip me replies I just opened it up cause I dont have the time to be waiting on replies for days on end.

So do I sit back and wait for replies and not go live with this or do I just wait 1 day and open it up. I emailed the people that had existing links and then went down the list to the point that the top 6 slots would be filled here. I got one reply and he is #1 on this site. All the others didnt reply so I opened it up. I cant wait a day with one reply and then keep going down the list so I could wait again for another 2-3 days before I got responses.

I would be here for 2 weeks trying to get people to reply and still wouldnt fill the links up.

You have to understand that Ron. You have a PM also.

[Dean]

Ah I understand I just wish I had a PM.

I cant see me getting a spot without pure luck :P

Anyway, nice system and wish me luck :)

Dean

[makeaprofit]

Hi man, please read you messages ;-)

[NaSh123]

Sent you a PM. I was also on the other list but I'm sure there were people ahead of me :) I can pay whenever a spot opens up. CC is ready and waiting.

[treacle]

Hello PGZ

Please can you send me a PM as I was on the waiting list. I am expressing interest in case any spots become available.

Thanks

Treacle

[MaxS]

Damn, I missed it. If you have a waiting list, please put me on it.

[SWD]

How is this performing for the people that bought in the past?

[source1one]

im in just send me the payment details....

[vulcanstudios]

People should read the first post and the posts following, such as this is the first time this was done so no results are available or the fact that it is automated.

[PGZ]

Hi man, please read you messages ;-)

Dude I dont sit here all day waiting on messages from people. Its all automated and all the links are gone as of this point. What is to discuss ?

Even if you plan on spending xxxx+ per month the fact remains there is nothing left to buy.

[minnseoelite]

Well my link that I bought on the home page only has sent me less than 30 visitors since yesterday :(

Hopefully things will improve as I realize my link has not be active during the "peak times" yet.

Your link is at the bottom of the index page and isnt sitewide this was detailed in the initial post that it was only on that 1 page.

I put those there for people that couldnt afford the main links.

Can someone that has a link at the top of the site that is sitewide post the details they have gotten thus far.

[v12kid]

pgz, anymore slots left?

plz pm if you do

Yup I know that I was just putting up a post letting others know how the link was doing so far. I am sure I would be getting some really good traffic if I had gone with the sitewide but dont have that budget at the moment.......hopefully though I can snag one of those in 2 or 3 weeks though :)

[MaxS]

PGZ, if you have an automated system, you may want to consider implementing a waiting list (it would contact the people when a spot opens).

[PGZ]

PGZ, if you have an automated system, you may want to consider implementing a waiting list (it would contact the people when a spot opens).

I have found that a waiting list really doesnt work. Most people contacted on the list say they dont have funds or arent interested any longer.

If someone is truly interested they can just check the site and see if anything is available. The automated system was created so it didnt take my time dealing with it 24/7 as it did before.

Though making that automated sounds good what if they dont respond ? How long do we wait ? 1 day ?

So if 10 people dont respond we hold the link up 10 days and empty.

By leaving it the way it is now its really whoever wants it and is 1st come 1st serve.

Oh yeah 130,771 Uniques and 789,938 PageViews today at 11:29pm EST

[fryman]

I've received 40 of those visitors today

[PGZ]

I've received 40 of those visitors today

I guess I will discontinue the links at the bottom of the index page then.

People that have links at the bottom of the index please contact me and I will refund your money and take those links down as it seems they bring nothing cause of the placement at the bottom and only on 1 page.

PM me your PP email address and site.

That's damn good business. :clap:

[nsmchris]

on a positive note, I got 1XXX clicks from a link in the top section today. Maybe some st. patty traffic boosting that but tis good.

chris...

[PGZ]

Ok all bottom links have been refunded and that section removed. Hey ya dont know if ya dont try right ??

Good Day all..............

[minnseoelite]

thanks pgz and with service like that you can be sure myself and others will be looking forward to doing more business with you :)

[Neo_The_One]

Okey, em i blind or where is the link where you can join and register?

I really cannot find it... ? Maybe its cause its 5am :/ ???

Great site PGZ!

PS: On the main page there is "users online" at the bottom and top of the site they show different numbers?! Hmm...

[Kelvin]

Hey neo_the_one,

I think it's coz the links have all been taken so you can't register until their advertising period has ended. Correct me if i am wrong pgz.

hope this helps.

[spaceboos]

Well thanks for the refund. Why not add 4 more spots on the right columb so i can get back up pm me first please as i bought ASAP and would have taken a sidebar link instead.

Thanks

[money_train]

1000 uniques in the first day.
i am really happy.
also my ecpm shoot up big time.

[PGZ]

PS: On the main page there is "users online" at the bottom and top of the site they show different numbers?! Hmm...

The counter is from MyOnlineusers.com and is just code I put on my site. The same code is at top and bottom. Those numbers change everytime you refresh. If they showed 2 different numbers then its beyond me but you can always go to this url and see the actual people online on the site compared to others that are using this counter.

[Neo_The_One]

Hi, well thats great PGZ, sure i understand that! :)

But the buying prossess is kind of hard, some of us dont have time to just sit all day long PGZ to wait on a opening spot! Im really like this site http://www.ugoto.com/promote/ a humor site, but take a look at their prossesing on selling links!

You chose a spot the, duration (7,14,30) days.. then you get up a link estimate time:

The next available campaign is Mar 18, 2007.
Your campaign will run for 14 days, ending Apr 01, 2007.

Then in the meen while your costumers = US! Pay so your sure about the spots beeing fully FILLED!
So maybe you could have 1 top SPOT only one link, you track those hits, then the menu links + main page links!

Meaning you will have 3 advertisment places!
After few months of tracking click throws then you can say something like this:

Menu Links, Receives on average of aprox 300-700 clicks per day*!
(Because you have statistic that show you that.. )

WOULD BE NICE AND I WOULD DEFENTLY BUY ALOT OF ADS! + i think that not only me but alot of people here, if it was alittle easyer to do that! :/

indeed, ugoto has a nice system to buy ads.

[jeremy860]

^ beggers cant be choosers..

I really dont see what the problem is with his current system, its just fine. Ifr your truely interested, then just check it every or every other day to see if a spot is open. If there is'nt a spot open then you missed it , so try next time... get what I'm saying?

[Neo_The_One]

Just wanted to say im not affiliated with ugoto, so im not promoting to sell any thing for them!

Jeremy860, do you really have the time to sit all day long HOPEING your chatch a break to buy one of the spots? They are very attractive spots on a site with that size and price like that ! ;)

People whom are quit busy and has alot of stuff to do, like me f.eks i just dont have the time to do that, SURE ITS MY LOSE! But im just proposing it to him cause if he did have it he could setup more spots to sell ads on + reserve spots = MONEY UPFRONT! No hassle for him, just sit back and SE the cash rolling in! ;) hehe

PGZ, hope you manage to setup something like that ! ;)
Thx!

Well apparently you have the time to sit here all day and bag him to change his system ;)

I dunno, the reason I like it the way it is, is it gives us poor people a chance to buy spot once we have some money. If it was the other way around, most of the rich people would have the spots purchased for like 6 months straight at a time and then noone else gets a chance to advertise.

[PGZ]

The system will not change unless neo wants to pay a coder to make the softwae specific for my site. Saying I doubt he will do that then the software used now is fine and it does what I PAID for it to do.

I cant say when someone will cancel. I dont know if someone will renew and if so how long.

If I lose customers cause of the software I use to sell the links then so be it. They didnt want the link bad enough to begin with.

[minnseoelite]

I agree the system is fine and most of the people that complain about not having the time to take 2 seconds to check the site for openings now and then are the same people that somehow have the time to sit in forums doing nothing but browsing and replying to posts for and hour or more each and every day...........so while your here in the forum running around just take 2 seconds to swing by the site

[ValuableVisitors]

Is there any possibility of you opening up additional ad placements on the site? We are very interested in advertising both SafeProfile.com and ProfilePolls.com on your site. We are willing to pay on a CPC basis as well, $.01 to $.02 per click depending on traffic quality. Based on what your existing sponsors are saying about CTR, this should give you a bit more money for each link position.

Thanks,

New Media Properties LLC

[minnseoelite]

Just wondering for the rest of us that were not able to get a sitewide link what kind of results are the rest of you getting?

[PGZ]

I will be giving a partial refund for 1 day cause of some changes I had to make that have caused your links to be down since yesterday afternoon.

This will be fixed today and $25 will be refunded tonight.

[Jazzylee77]

PGZ if someone cancels after the 15th of and odd numbered month could you please hack into my bank account and let me know if I can afford it and then give me a discount, but please check every thread I post first to see if I am wavering on this decision. Please send a confirmed email after the fact and I will notify if all this needs reversed. Also since I haven't read the entire thread, could you summarize it in spanish for me? I don't speak spanish yet, but I think it will be good practice.

Too Funny.....Ive heard some stuff close to that...LOL

[Pimper K]

your site is down.

[PGZ]

Its been on and off all day cause of server issues. I have to refund $25 to each person that has a link now cause of the lost day. Server Management people have been working on it all day. It started last night at about 11pm

Its not a traffic issue but something else.

[vulcanstudios]

Working for me it's just slow. My funky phrase generator was one of the first to load though YEA! haha but I was wondering why are you forwarding to commentyou2.com now?

[fryman]

Yikes, must feel like crap to have a server down when you get so much traffic

I usually just want to punch the wall every time my server goes down

[PGZ]

Ok let me give EVERYONE some advise............This goes to EVERYONE to so pass it around also.

Yesterday morning I started getting emails from members saying anything from my site wouldnt work on MySpace so I tried using some comments and I got a MySpace error page. Nothing abnormal has happened before quite often. I went to another one of my sites and posted a comment and it worked. So I go back to commentYou and still nothing. I sat there for an hour trying to post a comment from the site and noting would work.

As I started tearing the code apart and got rid of all the things that said CommentYou.com in it out it finally worked.

MySpace had Banned the domain. At the time I didnt know why cause I send out ZERO Bullitens and dont spam with messages.

The only thing I do on MySpace is accept request and then Comment them. The traffic maintained all day yesterday just fine even though there was trouble. I had a copy of the site made on a new domain and had a VERY GOOD Friend of mine do a 301 redirect from CommentYou to CommentYou2 and all was good and running like a champ.

Last night about 11pm something happened to the server not because of traffic but because of an enternal problem that they are still working on.

For the life of me I could understand why MySpace would ban my Domain...It bothered me cause I am one of the Good guys of MySpace and report all hacked accounts ect.

Today I got a message from a member on MySpace that isnt even on my friends list with a reply she had got back from MySpace about the time my Domain was banned. She forwarded me the message she has sent MySpace about inappropriate images.

It was a comment that someone got from my site that had the word F-U-C-K in it.

MySpace Banned my domain cause that comment came from my site. No questions asked............No warning ..............No Nothing. BAMM GONE.

I advise everyone that if you have ANY comments that have vulgar stuff in them REMOVE them ASAP cause if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone here.

Once the server issue is resolved things will be back to normal here but the past 2 days have been my most trying times since I started doing this.........

Learn from what has happened here and dont let it happen to you.

One complaint and your gone............

Once the server issue is resolved I will refund said monies to the people that have the links.

You have no clue how pissed I am over all this.....................

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[MaxS]

Interesting. What about vulgar text? For example, a survey with curse words?

[PGZ]

I would say anything that has extreme cuss words like f-ck or Mother F-er ect.

[vulcanstudios]

I always say better safe then sorry, especially with condoms......
but besides that now I'm scared for my site, nothing bad is going on it. I'm sorry for your loss.haha

[PGZ]

Its just the domain....The traffic will maintain once the freaking server issue is resolved.

I really liked my domain too..

[MaxS]

That's insane. Are you going to try and contact MySpace to have the ban lifted?

[PGZ]

That's insane. Are you going to try and contact MySpace to have the ban lifted?

I contacted them and they sent me some BS generic message back saying Im pretty much SOL.

[MaxS]

Contacted them by email I assume? I would attempt to call one of their offices.

Also, contact Mashable.com who will probably post about this. Not only is it a free PR7 link, but it adds fuel to the fire.

[PGZ]

Whats funny about this server issue is though my traffic is down 60% cause people cant make it to the site my Rev is just about the same as if the server is running ok.

Thats really odd dont ya think ??

[minnseoelite]

wow i would be one the phone trying to raise some holy hell with myspace about it, might not do any good but at the very least it might make the customer service reps there as pissed off as you are hearing from you 5 times a day......eye for an eye i always say lol

I personally dont see what the big deal is its not like people dont swear on myspace lol

[AzBlk]

There is lots of myspace sites out there with naughty images and/or comments, there are about to put us out of business

[fapsian]

I wonder if this would be a problem if someone used a flash banner generator or glitter text generator, or any generator on my site to write any cuss word, how would that affect me if someone complained about it.

[vulcanstudios]

Well you could either use the banner generator and generate a lot of traffic or you could be safe and take it off. Personally you have to take the risk on it.

[cdog]

One complaint and your gone............



hmmmmm i smell a jealous competitor... just a guess

[nsmchris]

^^ yeah, it's not right a single complaint could take you down. Anyone could create a bogus comment and then complain.

[idzone]

Most of the websites have generators where a user can write any text. So anyone can post swear-words and blame the website. The case should be taken up with myspace. It puts most of the mspros webmasters in danger.

[minnseoelite]

Yes its not like we can run around to every persons profile that uses stuff from our sites to check and make sure they are not using text generators to write swear words.

I think if you could prove it to myspace that the graphic does not exist on your site and was user generated they should un ban your domain......but then again myspace tends to think msr sites are generally bad and that we are all just a bunch of spammers. Personally I think myspace should be blocking all the porn spam yet those types of spam seem to be increasing while myspace looks the other way

[Cyclops]

I actually mentioned in another thread a couple of weeks ago about MySpace bringing in new systems to ban accounts and sites.

For a start don't use anything for your URL but a .com, most .info's and .biz have already been filtered.
I really didn't think Myspace would filter resource sites but this is proof that they have started. I think that maybe the f.u.c.k. word may have bought the site to their attention but that wouldn't be the reason it was banned. That word and others appears in a lot of stuff on Myspace.

A good time to start looking at other niches and a reminder to not give up your day jobs.

[money_train]

this is really risky. this could happen with anyone.
now removing all the generators would do nothing but drop the traffic.

i am sure we need to start looking at other niche and day jobs.

now have just uploaded tons of insult glittters that i bought on various packs here on MSP and the momma insult glitters as well am not sure what to do with this.

is it a good idea to remove all the generators and insult glitters from the site.

its a pitty that on side a site like commentyou.com is getting banned and on the other hand porn site and affilates are spamming myspace like crazy and they make there working model does not mind getting domains or accounts getting banned. they will just make new ones


this is really sad.

sorry about your loss PGZ this is a another eye opener for all of us going all out to make our myspace resource sites propular.

i will rework my efforts and investments on this niche for sure.

Lets see how things turn up in the next couple of weeks.

[Scilynt]

Man that is bs. As mentioned, contact mashable and see if he will write about it. Also get someone to write up about it on the blog here.

Might also be helpful to have users email myspace pissed off about it. That's what happened when myspace tried to ban youtube but they unbanned it because of the outcry from users. You should have enough users that it would get some attention if they were sending messages. Just post a nice big "help us" message on the homepage...of course when the site is back up.

They just banned one site/app recently and it was talked about in the New York Times so at the very least, you could get some nice free (well kind of) exposure from it. And if you can get them to unban the domain, then it might end up being worth while in the long run.


You may be right, it may not even have been the image itself that was the final straw for them (did they tell you the specific image BTW?). Maybe they have a ton of resource sites on a hitlist to add to their ban list but the complaint just brought yours to the forefront?.


I would keep giving them **** (uhoh...gonna get banned now heheh) though and try to work your way up the ladder. Just let them know you will send your 100k uniques to another competing community. Yeah, they may laugh at it since that 100k is generated because of them but who knows.


Really does suck and pretty scary when you realize how easy it is for them to pull the plug. I've taken most of the naughty images/comments off my sites already because of request from google and valueclick but doesn't seem to take much.

[misterproline]

Myspace is becoming corporate - they even warned tila tequila about using a widget on her site - they forced her to use a different one! Banning url's from sites is flat out LAME!

[idzone]

PGZ, do keep all of us updated once you are more clear about what exactly went wrong. This move by myspace should serve as a warning to everyone else.

I get so much spam in messages and comments. Why don't myspace guys go after spammers and bogus id's first?

[Kyle]

Ok let me give EVERYONE some advise............This goes to EVERYONE to so pass it around also.

Yesterday morning I started getting emails from members saying anything from my site wouldnt work on MySpace so I tried using some comments and I got a MySpace error page. Nothing abnormal has happened before quite often. I went to another one of my sites and posted a comment and it worked. So I go back to commentYou and still nothing. I sat there for an hour trying to post a comment from the site and noting would work.

As I started tearing the code apart and got rid of all the things that said CommentYou.com in it out it finally worked.

MySpace had Banned the domain. At the time I didnt know why cause I send out ZERO Bullitens and dont spam with messages.

The only thing I do on MySpace is accept request and then Comment them. The traffic maintained all day yesterday just fine even though there was trouble. I had a copy of the site made on a new domain and had a VERY GOOD Friend of mine do a 301 redirect from CommentYou to CommentYou2 and all was good and running like a champ.

Last night about 11pm something happened to the server not because of traffic but because of an enternal problem that they are still working on.

For the life of me I could understand why MySpace would ban my Domain...It bothered me cause I am one of the Good guys of MySpace and report all hacked accounts ect.

Today I got a message from a member on MySpace that isnt even on my friends list with a reply she had got back from MySpace about the time my Domain was banned. She forwarded me the message she has sent MySpace about inappropriate images.

It was a comment that someone got from my site that had the word F-U-C-K in it.

MySpace Banned my domain cause that comment came from my site. No questions asked............No warning ..............No Nothing. BAMM GONE.

I advise everyone that if you have ANY comments that have vulgar stuff in them REMOVE them ASAP cause if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone here.

Once the server issue is resolved things will be back to normal here but the past 2 days have been my most trying times since I started doing this.........

Learn from what has happened here and dont let it happen to you.

One complaint and your gone............

Once the server issue is resolved I will refund said monies to the people that have the links.

You have no clue how pissed I am over all this.....................

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



Mine is banned too!

And guess what - it doesnt matter what you do!

Why?

I can easily take a graphic, write "**** you" on it, tagg it with whoever's site and spam it everywhere linking back to their site!

This opens up sabotage on everyone's sites, bad move by myspace (makes you wonder who they are in bed with) :shuriken:

[Kyle]

wow i would be one the phone trying to raise some holy hell with myspace about it, might not do any good but at the very least it might make the customer service reps there as pissed off as you are hearing from you 5 times a day......eye for an eye i always say lol

I personally dont see what the big deal is its not like people dont swear on myspace lol

Got the #? I just might do that.

[barcodeunit]

this is horrible news. i am sick to my stomach even reading this.

one thing you might have to watch out for, PGZ, is the fact that whoever is using your content, if they decide to edit anything in their profile, everything with the domain name will be filtered out. meaning the user will have to either logon on your site again to get the content, or delete the code. this might hurt you as people start editing their profiles. but i think you have a big fan base, i see your stuff EVERYWHERE on people's comments.. so i know for a fact you have a big fan base. you should recover from this in no time.

i don't believe it could be profanity that caused you to be filtered... it HAS to be something else. If you look at all these myspace music sites, especially the hip hop artists, none of the profanity is filtered out... furthermore, you can even ADD their music to your profiles.... so i don't believe you got banned for profanity. it HAD to be something else.

that totally BLOWS that they didn't even give you a reason or warning... TERRIBLE, just terrible. if you ever find out, please, let us all know.

[PGZ]

Anyone have a #

[Scilynt]

Yeah, I am sure the other huge sites have had issues here and there and worked it out. Them just flat out banning you doesn't make sense. keep giving them hell until you either get a very direct and specific answer!

Don't have a number but maybe our resident myspace employee could hook you up with a number of someone who matters there?

[Cyclops]

Well guys nothing is insurmountable, might be time to get the black hats though .. heres something that will help.

I have been discussing this with a person who has an insight into Myspace and what they are doing and planning to do. He has just about always been right before.

It's not issues that are the problem, MySpace are flat out going after any site or person they deem is making money from MySpace. Banning URL's is a hell of a lot quicker, easier and cost effective than taking the Legal route.

It's better for us that they are doing it this way, if your clever enough or have the right contacts there are ways around it.

[Jazzylee77]

http://www.kickme.to/

Won't that domain just get banned? I don't suppose kickme.to cleans up the myspace referral?

[Cyclops]

Thats just one method, there are others but they tend to cost. If they ban the url you just recloak it. It can become a daily chore but in PGZs case the money makes it worthwhile.

[PGZ]

Well my redirect works fine and people really dont even notice that it says CommentYou2.

The server issue is what bothers me more so then this with MySpace. It seems there was a DOS attack on the network is a certain Pod in which my server happens to sit. Though they say it has been resolved mine and many other servers are still affected by what happened.

I have contacted MySpace AGAIN about the banning and took the day off of my reg job to try to get all this **** straight.

What I dont understand is why MySpace would do this to my site and leave the other BIG sites alone like sexilove.com

The stuff they have is far more worse then anything I would ever put on my site. I am getting hundreds of emails from users asking what is happening and why the site is so slow.

Traffic yesterday was down 56,000 UV and 350,000 PL cause of the server issue.

I would like to get a hold of our resident MySpace employee to see if he can see what happened here with this bogus banning of a VERY LARGE site.

Sky I cant remember his name...Do ya wanna pass that on to me please.

Also I am working like a ***** here to get all this resolved.....Grrrrrrrrrrrr

[NYCBORN]

If they ban your site it's still possible to remove the backlink code and have your images displayed or to just use a redirect. At what point in time though do they start coming after sites?

Is this all because of those two hackers saying they will start exposing bugs in Myspace 1 per day? Honestly I think thats a pile of crap and that's just an excuse for them to regulate the content on the site. Now that Myspace is the property of News Corp. they will look to stop anyone from making any kind of profit off of Myspace unless they are directly involved in profitting. The customization that users have is the very thing that made Myspace popular and all these resource sites helped to make that a possibility.

What would happen if we all banded together and started promoting another site like Xanga?

[PGZ]

Ok server trouble has been fixed and traffic will now return to normal...

You will never believe what was the problem as when I inquired about it with the Server Management its the 1st thing I asked.

Somehow out of the BLUE the HTTP apache connections were reset to 150 request thus causing the entire server to stall. I paid Rack911.com to go in and look at it and they found this and set it to what it was suppose to be which is 2000 as it was before.

The site is running fine now and last looked was 500+ people online and this number will grow.

Now on to MySpace and the BS they have created. I will give the $25 refund sometime today.

I had this problem once and it took a few hours to find out the reason...

For this problem, I had thought of something earlier today. If we form some sort of group of resource website webmasters or something like that. So in future, if some site faces a problem like this, the group takes up the case with myspace or anyone else. Just thought that instead of a unknown webmaster approaching myspace, a known entity approaches them, it would be better. It could be done in a way so that only serious webmasters with good sites are admitted so that the group can maintain a rep in the business.

Just my thoughts.

I don't want to hijack Will's thread, but just know that we are working on something for everyone with this in mind that is very, very exciting for all of us.

[PGZ]

I am changing my server management company as this was a retard fix but was dragged on for days when it should of been fixed in seconds

[NYCBORN]

Good to see you worked it out. Sad to see whats going on with Myspace. Hope thats a temporary thing for all of our sakes.

[bosshogg01]

*does the running man* I can't wait........

[deep]

i just read all this and its just so lame.

that means i can just upload a graphic to photobucket with curse words and put it on someones profile then go tell myspace about photobucket. that is just insane.

its impossible to control what the users do with our generators. myspace is just full of it.

[PGZ]

I think the Ban may have been lifted. We are checking this now to make sure.

Traffic is also returning to normal and people with links should be seeing this now.

[MaxS]

Very happy to hear that. Did you manage to get in contact with anyone from MySpace?

did you do anything to lift the ban? Or did myspace automatically just lift it?

I raised HELL through emails and then sent every department I could find an email.

They havent emailed me back but I just posted a comment using CommentYou.com link in it and it worked. Im just waiting on the rediret to be taken off at this point.

unbelievable.... I am glad that you are back up and running to normal.. And i am also glad that myspace is willing to lift bans on sites that have been banned. Thats really good to know..

So you didn't have to call them or anything? If you can, keep that email you sent and all the email address you sent it to in a safe place. I am sure webmasters on this forum will be running into the same situation..

commentyou.com is back! :)

[AzBlk]

good for you Will, You worked hard on that site. Would have been a shame for it to just die like that

[PGZ]

Yep BAN is off for sure..................WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Now back to business......

Just waiting on redirect to be taken off and we are back to normal.

CommentYou2.com will be moved to another server of mine as it now has traffic of its own with BL building cause of all this.

I have an extra license so I will just start working it also.

I guess some good can come of all of this after all.

Link buyers will have 2 sets of links on 2 different sites till I get all that taken care of also. When you renew it will renew on both sites and not just one.........

I have to go pick up my son and will return in about an hour or so.

[Ajay]

hmmmmm i smell a jealous competitor... just a guess

yeah dude, that's weird... since i know at least 10 sites with half naked **** and swear words on them popular ones too. something doesn't seem right.

I hope all you big guys will fight this crap... almost had a heart attack reading through this thread.

[PGZ]

Ok Redirect has been taken off and now both sites are up and running. CommentYou2 has people online and CommentYou has people online.

Over the next couple days I will move CommentYou2 to a different server and begin to promote it as a normal site.

I will leave the links in place on that site at the time being and once moved those links will come off and once the site has been grown enough to offer link sales then I will open that site up also.

It will take me a couple of months to get traffic built to that site and I may change the domain name as I dont want people to get confused.

What a difficult 36 hours this has been and I wouldnt wish this on ANYONE.

People that have links have a choice at this time.....You can get your $25 refunded to you or I can keep your link up on CommentYou2.com in addition to the main site.

PM me and let me know what you want. I appreciate all of your coolness and understanding during all this BS that has occured here.

Just my thoughts.That could actually be a cool idea. Kind of a "union" of site owners. Could make an impact if the group controlled millions of uniques a day as a total and all worked together.


And congrats Will! Very glad to hear it has been lifted...at least for now. And not bad that you have a backup ready in case it happens again you are ready to go with the redirect. It might even raise your traffic in the next couple days with people trying to figure out what happened lol.

[minnseoelite]

I don't want to hijack Will's thread, but just know that we are working on something for everyone with this in mind that is very, very exciting for all of us.

What we need is a hi5 and Xanga layout resourse script so that those of us with no programming knowledge can break into some new niches more easily....I know I would buy...........maybe I will just by another MSLS license and use it for a XLRS......

That would be pretty interesting.

I hope Greg takes initiative and organizes this.

Well within a couple of hours of CommentYou2 being on its own it has had over 1.3K Uniques so far and that # will grow by the day.

[PGZ]

2793 Uniques now for CommentYou2

Not to shabby for a site that is 1 day old.....LOL

People that have links that expire within a couple of days should start getting emails advising them it will expire soon and it will contain a link to renew.

Please check your emails for this that you used during sign up. Check your junk mail folder also.

[PGZ]

Ok since we are working on 2 different sites here and CommentYou2.com has got over 11K Uniques today so far on its own I have opened 3 more spots to extend it to 10 spots available. It will stay at 10 from now on.

10 was the original # to begin with if you go back and look at my post about this site and when it would open.

So you will have a Link on the 100K Unique site and on the 2nd site as well that has got the 11K on its own so far today.

[NYCBORN]

Ok I think I got in but is the email auto generated because my smtp was firewalled :(
Damn email spammers.

[jakkz]

Already full? :(

[MaxS]

I keep missing them...

[PGZ]

Sorry Guys......It was a decision to go to 10 quite some time ago but we had to start out with 6 and then moved to 7 and now to the 10.

The emails seem to be working ok other than Chris cant get any emails though we have tried resending them he still doesnt get them. He says they arent in the Junk folder also. I am getting the emails when he does what he should but he cant get them other then that 1st one he got when he 1st got the link.

Im waiting on him to PM me back so we can work on his issue some more.

[fryman]

The script is quite buggy, I got about 8 mails telling me the link was approved and asking me to pay, but I paid since I got the first one

I was able to reserve a link and it said an Admin would be in contact with me. I thought the whole system was automated. I would like to purchase a 1 week link for SafeProfile.com with the option of extending it monthly if the traffic we get is good.

I just got home from being gone the weekend and the system is automated BUT I must approve ANY link that comes accross before its posted on my site.

Just like your link which is a PROFILE TRACKER Service. I stay away from links as yours just for the fact that all HELL could break loose if the users username and password were used for the wrong reasons. Now Im not saying you are this type person as I dont know if you are or arent but for me I just dont want that link on my site cause if anything was to happen my site would get blamed for it.

So as you can see which way this is going your link request will be denied.

I assure you that we do not abuse our user information. We have over 120,000 registered users and are one of the largest and most reputable tracker services on the Internet. We have advertised on individual sites (like MySpaceTwister.com, see the right hand side) and through the major search engines. We also have paid premium users who are very happy with our service. We have never promoted our site through any MySpace SPAM and are not one of the scammy trackers that are circulating right now.

Our company (New Media Properties LLC) has been in business for 5 years, as of this February, and would not risk its reputation on a poorly thought out service. We certainly would not intentionally perform any illegal or unethical actions, like what you are alluding to.

I hope you will reconsider our link request. Since we do not promote our site through MySpace, we rely on myspace resource sites for the majority of our traffic. If anybody else has a high-traffic site, we can purchase advertising on a cost-per-week or CPC basis with a target CPC of <=$.02. Shoot me a PM.

Hi
A couple of days back there was a spot available (last link) and I added my info in the next page. However, I never heard back from you, and noticed that someone else has that link now. My domain is www.cre8myspace.com

When 2 people hit the Advertise Here link at the same time and get the info page. I see both the links for the same spot. The one that is on top got it first cause the info was filled out first and it hit my admin panel first and the 2nd one falls under it. The bottom one gets deleted when I approve the 1st.
