Beware of 'Paid' Hand Submission Directory Services

I started this post.
I want to make a few points -
1 / If I go to any trader & pay $14.00 for 100 of any item I expect 100 of that item, not 50!
2 / Though the trader, in this case, was & is an honest one, he is inefficient & I did contact him on this.
3 / I have had bad experience with dishonest traders using paypal & so I am extremely cautious to the point of paranoia, I guess. Even for $1, let alone $14.00.
4 / I will pay this trader $7.00 for the work he has proven he did.
Ends.

 

My friend,

No need to send $7. The problem is over. No grudge on my part.

 

Ends as in we are no longer allowed to discuss this

One question though, has this trader admitted he only submitted you to 50 places, or is this your assumption based on the number of confirmations? I am NOT taking sides here, I am just interested in knowing. If the guy has told you he has only done half of the work, then fine agree and pay him half. That said, I would not pay ANYTHING until I received a list of the directories that he had submitted to, together with the categories. You need this to ensure your next link building campaign does not end in you spamming directories with multiple submissions.

NOT ends, please discuss

 

I highly recommend Alfredo for paid submission service

 

Some posts back, you can find my whole explanation.


For people interested in this thread, please read right from the start, this way you can get the big picture, not just chunks.

 

Well Old Bald & Welsh
I received 50 confirmation emails (approx.)
No the trader hasnt confirmed how many he submitted to, but it must have been at least half if not all, (100).
He's a sweet guy, I can tell & tbh I feel a wee bit low charging back & now he doesnt want half the payment. so I know not what to do!
Anyway, the world keeps spinning.
Another day less of the Bush fascist dictatorship (s*it did I just say that in public!)
Cheers!
Grey, middle-aged, Irish!

 

I'd pay double considering the trouble that you've caused him by charging back!

 

Yes, I confirmed how many I submitted to, I even sent you a report with the urls of the directories.

What a concidence! My president is at a conference with Bush at the very same moment (no kidding!)

 

Alfredo

I would like to use your service, if you can start soon enough, would you like to PM me please
Thanks
Steve

 

It would take a Brit to say that

 

I have used Alfredo and been very happy with his service. I have also referred several of my clients to him, and ALL gave great reports back.

 

I could have told you it wouldn't have been a Scot

 

Dude, Alfredo mentioned in this thread that he has submitted to all 100 directories. So, you owe him $14. Unless there was a specific agreement that you had with him that said that not only must he submit to 100, but also PROVE that.

 

Eh, 'Dude'.
'Ends' means 'ends', far as I'm concerned.
What part of the empire you from 'dude'!

 

I am in Mumbai, India.

You know, since there was a penalty instituted for red repping, I have not red repped anyone, but I think I will go ahead and red rep you for not giving Alfredo his due. I hope you agree with me that this is fair Let me know that the red rep reached you safe and sound

Uhh, I just noticed that you are already in the red, even without my red rep. So, I guess I won't be making a splash then. But, this is a matter of principle now.

 

You know this Red Repping has just ruined my day.

 

Think of this as an opportunity (and I do not mean that in a cheeky way). I have seen a bunch of seriously redded people well in the green presently. I will also look out for you and green rep you when appropriate.

 

Hey Man, PLEASE don't be ignorant and shout at me. I HAVE been involved in this thread from the start. Didn't your web tutour teach you ANY Netiquette

 

i think it was an OOC kind of comment. (;

 

of course you should have been careful. It was a mistake on your part.
