What we are offering at Smoke420.com are 4 Premier Spot Links, Sitewide. They will go in the green bar where the image upload section is, right in the middle of the top fold.

Smoke420.com is not only dripping with juice (you may choose to have a no follow on your link or not), you will receive tons of traffic for these links.

Here is the URL - Myspace Layouts (http://www.smoke420.com)
The site is on page #1 on Google for "Pimp Myspace" and top 25 for "Myspace Layouts" , as well as top ranked for every keyword underneath these monsters, so you know the traffic you are getting is highly targetted to your niche, and people looking to immediately put content on their profiles. (unlike some sites where comment spam traffic just checks out the site and leaves). Also, at last count we have over 20,000 indexed pages in Google.

I am doing this as an auction style with a BIN. I have never sold links in the Prime spot, and the top links at the very top are $150/month and sold out for 6 months.

So here is how I will do it. BIN for any 1 link is $150/month MAX 3 months pre-purchase. I have to limit this as our traffic continues to double monthly.

Othewise, we can start bidding:


Link 1: $50 bid ($150 Buy It Now)
Link 2: $50 bid ($150 Buy It Now)
Link 3: $50 bid ($150 Buy It Now)
Link 4: $50 bid ($150 Buy It Now)

I'm sure you will find this is the best deal yet on MSP.

Contact me: by PM or at kyle@ smoke420.com or place your bid in the thread.

Thanks for your time!

Is this for the spots up at the top which is done in extremely dark blue on a black background? Granted my eye site is not what is used to be, but I could hardly see them.

No Val,

In fact those links at the top, although I don't consider them "premiere" drive a lot of traffic on their own. But those links are sold out for 6 months as of last month.

The links for sale here are "They will go in the green bar where the image upload section is, right in the middle of the top fold" as mentioned in the OP. This is a prime spot I have never sold links in before and in the best possible place on the page.

If anyone else has questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your bid. Of course there will not be a "NOFOLLOW" on your link .

I haven't stated when this will end, I could say 24 hours but I can't see the links lasting that long.

I am getting like NO TRAFFIC from this site. I would expect with this type of traffic that I could have expected at least what 20, 30, 50 hits a day. I am not even getting 10. And the link referring is questionable, looks like a script running some clicks or something. It comes into extreme tracking as....

http://www.smoke420.com/myspace-graphics/100

Sorry guys - We have been scammed!

I have written to Kyle and he does not respond. If had nothing to hide, or felt he had treated us right, he would have had no problem in responding. I happen to know that I am not alone in this.

quickbeam
June 8th, 2007, 01:53 PM
I am receiving mabye one hit an hour. I would expect around 100 or so a day from this type of traffic and link position.

The links are not even site wide. If you go to any of the layout links all of the paid links disappear.

He did not responde to my PM yesterday about the links not being site wide.

Kyle I expect an answer sometime soon....

These were suppose to be site wide. And no one is seeing any traffic? I mean come on! 1 clcick an hour, this is about what everyone is seeing, wonder if these are the same hours, indicating a script runs to send a clicks.

To resolve this, I expect a response, a full refund, and for my link to be removed! I am not paying this sort of money for 10 clicks a day. Your sale was misleading in everyway possible.

I couldnt agree more. I mean both Kyle and MCX have MSRS's. I don't understand them wanting to burn bridges either. This site is awsome for information, people to deal with, purchases, etc. Makes no since. But neither of users are responding to anyone who has written them concerning the lack of traffic. =/

June 8th, 2007, 06:02 PM
I agree

I have also sent a PM and no response also only 12 hits in 24 hours paying this kinda money is not good. I am also looking for a full refund and within 48hrs. With this postion and my keyword i think 5 to 7 hundred hits a day. Something stinks here. I think we were mislead on the hits.

I don't know if kyle is scamming or is mcx is scamming but I think it is pretty dumb for anyone that has a pretty decent site to consider scamming webmasters. A ban would be the least of a scammers worries here.

Sorry to hear that you paid without checking back. Did you by some chance get a new email? Was he online recently? Because none of us can get this guy to respond at all. :hammer:

Oh I totally agree about this being the least of his worries. PP doesn't understand these sorts of transaction completely, but even so. I will file a dispute with PP and lock up both of these guys PP accounts while the arbitration takes place. This will at the least tie up thier accounts for a bit. They will have no way to buy or sell anything online. :punchout:

And yeah, paypal isn't much help in these cases. But if there was a scam going on I woudln't even bother with paypal. I would make sure the problems hit where it counts and make sure there were losses of revenue of at least how much that was taken from me. I woudn't have to worry about retaliation either as my sites that I really care about, no one knows about.

Again, not saying this is a scam yet but if there is anything fishy going on and kyle knows it, I expect a refund immediately.

I'm giving him a good day to respond to all this first though. Then it's time to call in some favors ;).

Ssomething that is not so funny at all.

I just went and checked my stats for both of these sites (Kyle and MCX), and "both" have sent me 2 referrals. Go figure, its four hours into the new day. This would mean that without a doubt, they are sending 1 click every 2 hours like clock work. Yesterday both Kyle and MCX sent me 12 referrals. They stayed neck and neck all day long.

Neither are responding to my private messages here either. Coincidence? I dont think so anymore. Well, this just makes me so ill, I am going to go back to making graphics because that makes me happy. =D

I CLEARLY stated I would be away Away for a few days.

I should have stayed at Atlantis, everyone is so laid back in the bahamas.

Furthermore, to those who have offended me by calling me a liar posting my stats, consider the bridge burnt, although I will still fulfill my end of the business deal.

If you can't take the 3 seconds to read my whole post saying I would be away..... well then you are wasting your time in business. Because people like me will fry you.

That's why I just got back from Amsterdam, Nassau, and about to leave to party in vegas... all at 23. Because I am no joke and I ALWAYS take care of business.... I'm sure nobody on this forum has had a business related problem with me until you. I am not and never have been a liar and I will refuse to be treated like one by someone without the intelligence to read.

Now your links will go up tomorow and you will see relative traffic , I'm sure of it. Right now I am very tired and very sunburnt and will go for a sleep ..... lazy river all weekend really gets to you!


Kyle

P.S - I did try to get your links up , quickbeam, spaceboos, and dumb-diddy-doo.... although I left for the airport and didn't get it on all sections of the site ;)

P.P.S - For the younger guys on this forum that want to take a tip from a young guy who is doing the damn thing already... always be careful what you say in public... assume everyone you talk to knows everyone and always watch your mouth because you could burn bridges with people you don't even know exist yet.

P.P.P.S - All the links sales combined in this thread wouldn't cover one night at the Atlantis, which I paid out of pocket. To call me a scammer is not only extremely offending but absolutely ridiculous. Myspace themed sites are my newest venture... I have been doing internet marketing since I was all your ages... 13, 14, 15, 16.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slander_and_libelI was writing you a pm before this post was made. My comments still stand even if you hate me now lol ;).
To be clear though, I have taken no action in anyway on anything (no paypal complaint or anything). I was waiting to see what you said once I learned you were out of town.

And to be fair to the others who already had links up, you never posted or mentioned, as far as I know, that their links were only partially up. It's easy to be confused and misinformed in this world and where too many scams alraedy go on, easy to jump to conclusions and get over-excited about them.

Regardless, I accept and will talk with your attorney as you wish.

I personally appologize for the misunderstanding on my own part.

Everybody has been fully refunded, I will not accept business from people who call me a scammer, ever. Like I said, the bridges have been burnt. Once again, I was in the bahamas for 4 days with no internet access.

I can see the look on the paypal people's face when dumb-diddy-doo complained about the 80 dollars 5 times in 1 day. I have done $80 in fees several times daily. What a joke, and what a thing to come back to from vacation.

Well i appreciate your fast respomse on this matter. Being screwed a few times i dont waste much time unfortunately i never new that the links were half up also.

Im 100% refunded and very grateful as not many would have done this if any. I hope we can set this aside and do business in the future.

Kyle,

In your original thread in which you are selling your links. It cleary states that each person will recieve tons of traffic and that this will be the best deal we ever got on MSP.

In your own words within a PM to me, the links would have had to have been added to other pages for any of us to have seen any traffic. You made none of us aware of this before you departed, so there was no way that any of us could have known this.

I am sorry that there seems to have been a huge misunderstanding, but it might be in your best interest in the future to hold off on conducting business until you come back so as to not have this happen again. This way you will be available to complete your transactions, or answer any questions that people might have.

It is very unfortunite that this came down to this, but I do appreciate that you refunded my money.
