    The company which controls those sites will scam you.

    Guy from that company (Shaan - ) contacted me ~1 year ago or so to help them get as many links as possible for their casino site, paid me few hundred USD for deal confirm.

    I've started working, waited for page rank update, told him to pay for the work I've already done (~1 000 links) and then excuses started (don't have old log, deleted it).

    etc, etc

    And now just ignores, whatever. If you'll ever be contacted by this company, don't start working with them. Cause they won't pay you.

    Hope this page will be indexed by search engines as well so everyone would see a true face of this company.

    Regards,

    What seems interesting is that you feel the need to spam Digital Point with your issue. However taking a look at your profile site "ebgenius.com" I'm surprised anyone would offer to pay you for links on such an obvious "spammy" paid link forum.

    "Friendly Links: Teeth Whitening » Dentist London » Web Browsers News » Personal Injury Lawyer » Business Blog » Mesothelioma » Rope Light » Marble and Granite Kitchen Countertops » Gate Operator » Conference Calls » Promotional Business Items » Directory Submission » Frigidaire parts » Term Paper » Emergency Lights » Dog Obedience Training » Answering Services » Paper Bag » Qwest Internet » Document Scanning Services » Jobs in Massachusetts » UPickReviews » Play Free Games"

    Please!, Oh please can I have a link sir.

    Is "Friendly Links" just another term for "I sell links", or is it a legitimate "natural list" of "related links", I reckon the former.

    Furthermore "slickstreet.com" seems to be an outsourced marketing company for the "Fortune Lounge Group", could it be that they would not pay for "spammy links" to their websites? (who knows, who cares)

    Please keep your issues off Digital Point.

    Digital point in no place to be spamming and talking about deals that you probably should have worked out before doing the work. Given your lack of grammer I can only presume you are not the smartest of cookies in the jar!!

    SouthAfrica has some good points .. the *work* you have done there is spam-central ..

    Was seaching Link Development forum to learn how to go while making Adult Links and surprise...surprise... came through this thread. To my more surprise i saw slickstreet name in this matter.

    We are working for 4 years in this business and we had worked with this company for 6 months for Content Creation and ON page optimization for there sites. I can make sure with a damm if any time we had faced any PAYMENT related issue with this company. never never....

    Dont know for what OP is asking for payment for links he made that were spammy OR for deleting the spammy links made. I wonder if he is asking for deleting the spammmy links he made. holly crap.

    All i can say we as company working with this company had no problem with them.

    Thanks

    Their links were NOT placed in our sites. They were quality links with no other or just 1-2 out links.

    I wasn't even going to humor a response; Hell why not?

    "Their links were NOT placed in our sites. They were quality links".

    Interesting; So you concede that your sites are in fact not quality sites?..

    The point to my post was that you are spamming DP with the intent of getting your message "indexed by search engines", NOT to forewarn us (poor forum readers) about your "Paid Link Building" deals gone bad.

    So your post still amounts to little more than forum spam.

    I only mentioned your site "ebgenius.com" as it looked like a classic example of "how not to buy or sell links".

    Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

    From reading the first post I see nothing about quality.

    Besides, if the originally quoted conversations hold true, then the person is getting what is paid for, and both parties are partly at fault... however, if the quality of sites was not brought up in the original deal, then the quality of sites has nothing to do with the deal. Though the payment of those links IS part of the deal, and a person unwilling to pay IS at fault, regardless of quality.

    So given the information at hand, djixas is right, even if the site is crap... (assuming there are missing payments, etc)

    Hi djixas, we have checked our records w.r.t any campaigns with either your company "ebgenius" or the alias "djixas" or any details on your whois record.

    We are unable to find any communications, with respect to the "deal" you are speaking about in your post.

    ShaanL did work in the slickstreet marketing division about a year ago, so we assuming that there is a possibility that your claim could be valid.

    Hence

    Could you please send any details that you have about this directly to searchsupport_at_fortunelounge.com and we will investigate further. Should we find anything that would indicate a formal relationship / "deal" we will make every effort to pay you in full to what was agreed.

    That said

    In response to your claims of fraud.

    Slickstreet Marketing has a long standing and good reputation for paying dues to publishers. Most of our publishers are however professional enough to understand that if a payment issue arises, it can be rapidly escalated and resolved if directed to the right channels.

    Again, please get in touch with us so we can get this resolved a.s.a.p.
