    Yet again I find myself checking my paid links and I find yet another idiot who thinks I will never notice what I paid for has been deleted. Who do these little arseholes think they are and why do they do this BS!

    I'm sure he will have a great excuse as to why its missing however :rolleyes:

    I now actually have to keep a list of people I will not give my money to anymore.
    Thats just pathetic.

    Yea it sucks but it does happen. The real reason is because a lot of people never check back so they think they can get away with it. For the ones who do check back, they just lie and make some lame excuse about a script problem that deleted it. It is good that you check back and check often.

    Thats it!
    From now on I will only pay with credit card through paypal. If my link disappears I will file a chargeback. I am not made of money and I work damn hard for what I do make.

    Wholie Jezus!


    edit:
    For those of you who dont know...
    There is a easy way to pay using a CC if you have a balance in your paypal ;)
    Call it a loophole if you will, but it works...

    Chris Mystikmedia ( Alive ) sells a link checker tool and every time you pay for something make it a point add it and check daily ..(rather then going from site to site) takes a few minutes and only cost about $25-$30 bucks and if your buying REVIEWs then its a must have!
    PS...... (you dont buy paid links :p you pay for reviews)

    thx

    Yes it does happen, you should always buy from folks with good reputations that guarantee their links.

    My guarantee is that if your link is ever removed I will replace it with one of equal value or issue a full refund.

    contact the owner and give him a piece of your mind, if you do pay for links though it's a good idea to keep track of them

    I stop buying links for that reason. You buy it, they take it down.

    It really hurts..another example of these thieves are, they will exchange link with you. You will continue displaying the link like an idiot and the other person will simply remove the link. I just discovered one issue and am trying to understand why...

    Hi,
    So what happened to http://www.XXXX.com/
    Cheers
    ---End Quote---

    The domain was expired for 2007 mid january. I lasted it off as long as I could. The problem was the guy who sold the site to me didn't tell me that the domain expired in january. So I didn't have money to re open the domain from godaddy and I had to let it go.

    I am sorry if your links did not las that long. I would be happy to give you a refund or, since its my fault partially you can give a bad rep. I am sorry.

    I wonder if making software to look for this on a schedule would be a good idea?
