    For sale is the autoblog, IntroductionToMarketing.info.

    In the time the site has been live it is one of my highest earning autoblogs and gets an average of 273 visitors a day and 6,824 visitors so far this month. This traffic comes from several sources including the twitter profile @intro2market and is spread via word of mouth through twitter related sites and getting organic traffic from yahoo and google searches. So the traffic will maintain without much work. Also the site made $226.72 so far this month from amazon affiliate program. The domain is registered thru January 2011 and with godaddy. I have sold quite a few autoblogs on DP so you can check my itrader history to see that my sites are legit and I use honest means to get traffic and affiliate sales.

    Depiction I switched hosting providers at end of April and no longer have access to March/April traffic stats but I'll post Amazon stats for those months. Handytxg I'm selling because I have unexpected bills that I need the money for and can't wait for the commissions payment.

    Keep in mind guys I've been doing this since last november and have pretty much mastered the art of generating money using autoblogs so to you guys I'm giving up profit but I look at it as I can have another couple autoblogs up and running and making me money in less than 2 hours so I'm not losing anything at all. Just giving someone an easy track to making money and taking care of my unexpected financial situation.

    The monetizing method is only Amazon?

    Yes I've only monetized with Amazon but you can use adsense or any other ppc on the site.

    just as a little note here, I just noticed that this seller is selling autoblogs again here.
    I bought webmarketingexperts.info about May 6th of this year. it too had some wonderful traffic and sales. But not since the day I bought it. Not sure how ashleigh is doing. she bought his ebookreview.com site not so good there either....

    i paid ninty bucks and feel it was a good lesson for me. I have not bitched. I have been quiet. but when i saw this sale and him saying his past sales were great so people should buy this one and trust him I just felt I had to make a bit of noise here.

    I have had NO sales and very little traffic compared to what he showed me and he had hosting problems with me too.

    michele
    just go back to the beginning of may and see his autoblog sale threads and the traffic reports and sales reports for webmarketingexperts.info they were phoey.
    m

    sorry ramika, i told you i just considered it a lesson and I would bite my tongue and go on but I never expected you to use my sales as bait for people to trust your current sales. You gotta quit this. This type of business is very very bad juju. You are gathering the worst kind of energy and spirits around you, you must stop these practices and just put up your sites and do some of the tedious work on them and very quick you would have the numbers you say. When I see a dumb criminal I just go on cause what else can he do? but you.....you are smart you are cutting corners and it will get you nowhere in the long run.

    its funny you posting these false claims right but the webmarketingexpert site is down. And I've emailed you several times since the sale and you have not once mentioned any issues but you come on here and posting false claims about my sites. None of my screenshots are phoney. If you look at all of my autoblog sales you'll see the screenshots are all real and if you contact each and everyone of my previous customers they'll all tell you that as long as their sites were UP AND RUNNING they got sales either similar to what I advertised in my auctions and in some cases better. Also if you would have taken the time to email your concerns instead of posting erroreous claims on one of my other auction sales we probably could have fixed the problem jointly and at no additional cost and if you still need help you are more than welcome to email me and I'll assist you as much as I can. But again this is why I don't sell my sites often because people think that once they buy a site and that no work has to be done to keep it running.

    It's an autoblog which mean you never have to worry about posting content but if continue your focus on marketing such as seo like I told you when you bought the site from me you would have gotten sales similar if not better. Rule of thumb to anyone buying a site online... Contact the seller before posting crap about them because you putting their reputation on the line especially when they've gotten 100% rating from their other sales no complaints. Also when you buy a site your work doesnt stop because its automated you still have to put in a few hours in the week to make sure it runs otherwise it becomes obsolete. Crap like what BettyBakeBake did is why good sellers get bad raps online because buyers don't hold up their end of the situation when they buy a site then blame the seller cause they didn't do what they should be doing as the new owner. I never used you to refer other customers I referred them to look at the twitter account to show I was able to get 372 followers on the profile(noticed you let the profile get down to 224 followers) and I referred to the fact that my traffic doesn't come from software, hit sites or spam bots that its real people that come to the site which you can say is the truth based on your experience betty. So again your claims are false and you should be ashamed for posting them.


    Oh btw ashleigh is running(which means the site is UP and RUNNING!) ebookreviews.info on my hosting servers at Lenox Hosting, and earlier today when I looked at the site's stat details the site is getting almost double what my screenshots showed which was 300+ visitors per day and the site is getting 1000+ visitors per day. Now I'm not sure how the site sales are doing because I haven't talked to ashleigh in a week or so...for that you'd have to ask ashleigh about that.

    well this is an easy fix go get your other buyers to say how wonderful their sites are and how well they are working. easy enough. i am one lone voice here. you can just call me an a**h*** by getting all previous sellers to jump on in here. yeah go get ashleigh to post.

    Dont make this a public battle with us posting our emails to each other etc. just DONT use me as an example of a wonderful sale. I am NOT happy, but I just took my marbles and went home. You started this. Do Not bring up my sales to bolster your sales now. Buyer beware is a criteria I belong to. I would never have spoken if I had not read you speaking about previous sales to garner trust here.

    Your stats show 615 uniques which is about 20-30 uniques a day; not really all that great traffic. How is that you have generated 150% more clicks into amazon than even the number of hits??

    @hopehunter... Because amazon clicks aren't based on hits...a click on amazon is generated when a visitor clicks on my links then goes to amazon product site page however if that same visitor then goes to another amazon product while on amazon's I get credit for that click and sale if they buy that product. Also I never stated anything in listing that visitor stats were uniques and your assuming that visitors are converting a low percentage into uniques which isn't accurate especially in the case of autoblogs using my traffic methods because my visitors are real people so the uniques are much closer to the visitor count. So hopehunter this should answer your question.

    @bettybakebake... No you did want to make this a public battle otherwise you would have contacted me and tried to resolve it. I didn't refer to any previous sale in any of my auctions. What you keep referring to is a post in another one of my auctions where a buyer asked about how I use twitter with my sites and I referred them to look at the twitter profile I made for the site you bought from me. I never said you were a loyal and happy customer or that you are a testimonial for me in any which way. Up until you posted your rants about buyer beware of me on here I wasn't aware of your dissatisfaction with the site because YOU NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING! The only thing you told me was when the auction was over and I was transferring domain and files to you was that you were taking a chance buying the site because of concerns your friends had in general and I assured you not to be concerned and if you had any questions, concerns to contact me and I would be more than willing to help and you said ok and that you would if you did. Next thing I know weeks later your on here bad talking me and the site I sold you isn't even up and running at all. So how is it my fault you didn't get any sales when the site isn't even up and running. To be honest I'm not even mad at you betty I'm disappointed because I take pride in providing my customers the best service possible and not scamming them and here you are telling ppl that I scammed you when its simply not the truth. Point. Blank. Period. And you know it.

    Also, I don't need to get any of my previous customers to say anything about my sites because my itrader rating proves my trustworthiness. If I wasn't a trusted seller my rating wouldn't be 100% and I wouldn't have repeat customers as I've had on several of my auctions on here. And if I wasn't a trustworthy seller I wouldn't have pm'd you after you tried to discredit my reputation and offer to help you resolve the problem. If I was a scammer I would have ran and ran fast as most scammers on DP do. So I state again betty if you would like to resolve your issues with why you weren't able to get sales I'm more than happy to help you resolve the problem.

    I'll add one last thing for everyone... when you buy a site that uses affiliate programs like amazon, etc remember that its commission sales and that each month it will vary its rare to have two months that are exactly the same. Sites that use affiliate programs don't have the luxury of a set income each month like you would for banner ads and things similar to that so while I post my amazon earnings to verify the site makes money you can't go in thinking well he made $30+ or $200+ last month so I should make that this month. There are many factors that play into affiliate programs and sales especially that of amazon. If its a booming time for amazon or any company offering affiliate programs then most likely its gonna be a booming month for you and if its not then you will have an ok or even a bad month. That's just the way affiliate marketing programs work. I've been doing amazon affiliate marketing since last year and I've been fortunate to have never seen a really bad month but I devote a lot of time to my sites from marketing to maintenance which is what I recommend to everyone who has bought sites from me. Sometimes during the month your gonna have 1000-2000 clicks and no sales which I know is frustrating but I've always have it balance out by months end where I ended up with an average of 1 or more sales a day after starting the month with no sales for the first 10 or so days. This is a business if you treat it as such you will make money but you have to put the time and effort into it and all it takes is a few hours a week its not a full time job. Alright I'm done with my PSA.

    hello lenox,

    you really did not have any sales on amazon did you? that is why no one jumped on this. well that is ok. i am learning a lot. i should have known better. well you needed the money. but was the report you showed on all your sites? is that how you did it? I am happy with my purchase so don't give it a second thought.

    michele

    the above is one of my last emails to you. As you can see I am not a crybaby,but don't say you did not know that I questioned your sales figures. As I said before dont use your prior sales as incentive for new buyers. I am ok with the purchase I learned a lot to watch out for.

    hmm funny because I just did a search for all emails you sent me and that isn't one of them I have in fact according to the date you wrote that was the day following the sale of the site and we communicated up to May 8th where we discussed questions you had regarding setting up the site so I don't buy that you sent me that email...look at the screenshots below:
