Market Health Scam Or Not?

    I'm trying to look into re-joining MarketHealth.com because at one time alot of complaints were surfacing and I stopped promoting their products. I signed up again to add links of theirs to my site and blog but really concerned. I emailed Gary but no reply. It's been a few weeks and still no reply. I also emailed the company and no reply. Does anyone know if they've solved their problems?? I sure hope I'm not wasting my time again. It seems so legit but all I get are negatives. The top complaints were tracking of the affiliate id's and lack of affiliate support. It seems nothing has changed. Maybe they jusy reply to the affiliates that are making them BIG money. I'm starting to learn how some companies treat their newer affiliates that are not earning big bucks. HMMMM.... This is a great forum.;)

    I typed in "Markethealth,scam" on google,yahoo and other search engines and came across alot of complaints on some forums. That shocked me a few hours ago. IT SEEMS LIKE IT GOT WORSE THAN BEFORE!!!If all these complaints are true then how are they not being investigated? It seems to me that affiliate marketing needs to be regulated. It reminds me of the old MLM problems of the 80's and 90's. I guess i'm going to try another company. I heard WorldNiche,MoreNiche,Genbucks and WebmasterLife are great. Wish me luck. I'll brb.

    I am a long time and happy affiliate of MarketHealth...

    Hit me with any questions you have, I have been paid on time, everytime by MarketHealth.. you will always have the naysayers who will scream "scam" at the first sign of bad conversions or no results... it's all a part of the game...

    Keep truckin..

    I'm new to affiliate marketing and have 0 money to use for any type of advertising. I've been posting in weight loss and health forums and made 4 sales so far. I joined World Niche last month. I just started writing articles to get some traffic for my blog/affiliate site. I'm trying to find real quality methods of advertising to get traffic to my site without spending money for now. I've been trying to find legit info on affiliate marketing on a 0 to tiny budget. I have about 5 hours per day to market. I'd love to learn the correct way to market products. I do like the help I've found. Shannon

    Forget about Markethealth or any other such programs. Don't bother to promote their products if you are not 100% sure. Go for Genbucks because they are the biggest and very serious.

    Well mods this is no Bump. Wasn't able to resist to raise my voice here.

    We have done SEO stuff for clients who had affiliate websites promoting "MarketHealth.com" products. And yes a major chunk of these clients are complaining of reduced sales. I remember chatting for full one hour on this issue with one of our clients just a week ago.

    The conclusion I derive is: "There is something seriously going wrong with markethealth.com, either affiliates are being shaved of sales or people are buying other brand products (which doesn't seems likely) or there is some other reason we are not aware of"

    NOTE: Please don't try to make me understand how cookies work, we are not newbies at least on this topic lol

    My advice: Guys n Gals do give a serious look at the reputation of companies u intend to promote. There is no point to waste ur time and energy promoting companies that tend to have complaints piling up by the day.

    We lost atleast 3 direct clients because the cost/profit ratio turned no more viable on account of this.

    MarketHealth got some serious problems that they are not going to solve.

    Either they don't know how to solve or they simply thinks it is not necessary.

    I did enroll with them recently, my stats shows hundreds of
    unique visitors ), their stats shows only 80 up to this point.

    I know everthing they tell about cookies, ( I called, and sent them emails
    and their excuse is always "the 30 days cookies that are installed in the first
    visitors computers) although if we do not consider conversions or sales, just comparing
    my stats by officelive.com ( that I think is accurate) with their stats, we can
    prove that is something wrong.

    If anybody has or have the same problem, please let me know, I do not want
    to spend thousands on Google Adwords if their system is not working proprely (shaving peoples sales???)

    Please anyone, advise.

    Thank you
    Mariana

    STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

    You're absolutely right that your analytics show hundreds of visitors and theirs show only a fraction

    that is one of the first signs of a network SHAVING

    I spent hundreds on a campaign and had a URL analytic tracker which shows how many people are clicking it and how many are unique

    Markethealth showed about 10% of all my visitors

    Try Azoogle which almost has all of their products and they track a whole lot better.

    I've never understood why networks shave to gain sales in the short run, but end up screwing themselves over by gaining a bad rep. If you're looking for some herbal weight loss products, check out the sig below. I run this program and there is NO SHAVING.

    Normally if a site is suspicious and you leave, you don't want to have to go through the same thing again

    Market Health has been a good program for me. Never have had any problems with them.
