    Hey,

    I made a thread at the start of December advertising my service which is selling targeted, adult and alexa traffic

    The thread was posted in

    "Buy, Sell or Trade" -> "Services" -> "Traffic"


    On the 23rd of Dec I got an infraction


    My thread was then moved to "Buy, Sell or Trade" -> "Cheap Stuff"

    Sales have now dropped significantly and I would appreciate if a mod could get in touch regarding this issue

    My thread - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2344058&page=5#post17207300

    Pricing plays a factor in determining where threads are placed. When selling a single item and sales price is five dollars or less, thread belongs in cheap stuff category. When selling multiple items/packages, if a single item/package is priced on or below five dollars, thread belongs in cheap stuff.

    The most popular package I sell is $6+ - Is there anyway I can get it changed back to the original place?

    My sales have dropped big time because people are not looking for traffic services in "cheap stuff"

    Placement is not based on the most popular package but on least expensive item available for sale in thread.

    Quite dumb if you ask me. He is selling his service in packages and his prices range from $2 to $270 while only like 15% of his packages are "cheap stuff".

    Agreed

    I just spoke to a mod and offered to REMOVE the lowest package (1000 visits = $2.23) so i can remain in the "Buy, Sell or Trade" -> "Services" -> "Traffic" section but was met with a swift "No"

    This rule really doesn't make any sense at all - I have served over 320,000 visits since Dec the 4th with very little complications yet because part of my service offers prices as low as $2.23 I'am moved to a section of the forum that has no relativity - "cheap stuff". Which is basically "free e-books" - not services...
