The AC forums

[redtide1969]

"because they believe AC loves them. They are proud of those little CP badges like a Kindergarten kid is proud of his golden star sticker."

lol...isn't that the truth

@ madblacker - Yeah, they follow this forum closely and have for a long time. Check out my "Pirating my hard work" thread a few pages back in this subforum to see some of the fun that broke out a few months ago.

I'm one of those people that they decided to click fraud my Google adsense account. I had my primary website that was getting about $300 a month in Google money. I was stupid and posted a how-to on AC and a link to my site. Within a week, my account was banned with the standard Google click-fraud format letter. Then I didn't say anything about it on AC. BEFORE I even got the letter, I knew what was coming down the pike. A little 'team' of those forum posters each contacted me via AC PM and said I might want to start looking for new advertising on my site since Google was going to ban me. I had been 'reported'.

It was a true nightmare. BUT it made me realize I could do other work and other avenues. Still miss that $300 monthly and wonder what it'd be like today if I still had it.

I'm not writing this for pity. They're evil. They make no bones about it. They're form of 'justice' is insane.

 

[redtide1969]

Ughh...what was the reasoning? Was it because you had such high page views, or was it that they thought you were rewriting?

 

[Shawndellah]

They were mad because it was an article directory that writers automatically published their work. I had a team that helped me pull some content daily that wasn't appropriate. The little 'group' informed me that I was using hard-earned writer's work to build my article library without doing any writing myself and not offering pv money or anything in return. I offered an option to put in one link when you posted your article. So, they clicked the h*ll out of the ads and got me banned from Google.

:sad: :rant: :banghead:


Hmm...:nono:

OK dear friends, lets tell them (those 2 or 3 ring leaders) it feel real bad when you lose jobs so they can be ready when it comes. Someone - most probably their top people - will definitely do something about it, and we are not to be blamed. Else someone will definitely read and use the remedy and cure the disease.

I just thought and said what can be really possible. Any person with the ability to think will think on the same exact lines. One of them should definitely go because they have hatched their plots against simple people and attacked their G accounts instead of going through the proper channels. Their targets were not even people who could defend themselves. -- Those who did should actually be kicked out :spank:by their bosses. I know how difficult the time is when you get that G ban-letter...

I vote we all pitch in some cash and get the guy offering Xrumer services to post a gazillion links straight to one of their newer articles. Should play havoc with their AC love .

Or, that reminds me, I still have one day of my Senuke trial left. Wanna have some fun?

LOL! Anytime!

But I think those top people should be given a chance to clean their house first. We are decent people you see! Most of the dirt originated from their place. So they should be the 'terminators'.

The lurkers, please make a note of this! The cold war IS over!

 

[redtide1969]

No!!...how could we?

(lol I'm in!)

We definitely are a shitload more decent than anyone over there. For example it never once crossed my mind how to hurt someone who is making more money than me, quite the opposite in fact as I would like to learn from them and follow their example. When all else fails I just beg nicely for help lol....

Ergo, I have zero tolerance for someone who is pissed at what, that we are helping a huge corporation make more damn money? You actually believe that AC has no idea this goes on? Puhleeez, but as long as they make money from it they are going to turn a blind eye as it's just easier to let this go than have to change up all their tax info and systems. So, exactly where is the problem?

If said people are reading this forum let me tell you a little fact of life -> AC makes at least $2,500 per year on every article that gets 100 k views over a year, I repeat AT LEAST. So, before you quack and talk shit without ever having been in a position to understand how these companies work (and yes I have as the managing director of a company with a $3 million annual turnover) I suggest you get a life and have a good hard bloody think of how you may find your ass banned by said company for causing trouble. Just think a little - with all the folks here contributing to AC - even just one person adding 10 articles a week - that's at least another $20k in their pocket. It's all about P&L statements and nothing to do with loyalty - they give you those idiotic badges because they know what suckers you are. Oh, and if your so damn good then why are you writing for $5 a pop?

Therefore, Senuke is armed and ready ...

Edit: I would even starve for a week just to pay one month's subscription on the above proggie to do this, that's how strongly I feel about what the did to a fellow colleague ...

 

[srb888]

Why go on a starvation week? We have sufficient backing here, and don't forget all those who have been on the receiving end! Also, no company cares anything apart from their partners -- loyalty means a load, but if some internal stupid worms are going to infest their profit garden, they are going to go after those termites FIRST. We don't care how they do it, but we definitely care about helpless people, whoever or wherever they are. Picnic is definitely over now. Angry people are definitely not going to take beating unnecessarily anymore. Anyway, these are your real friends and don't mean any harm to the good great people on both sides of the fence, but we don't want those termites anymore in our 'houses' & 'guestrooms' at least. As Mr Ob----a says, Change... well, whatever.

Enough IS enough.

 

[Shawndellah]

What gets me is the worms think that they're immune to the pesticide that can easily be sprayed in their direction.

The ring leaders are so nasty to everyone because they're afraid of the competition for page views and so forth.

If they didn't have so much dirt in their house, they wouldn't have such big warts on their long noses and lice in their stringy, greasy hair.

I bet they wear adult diapers to stay glued to their pc's all day long to hear the first ping that a new forum post was made or someone published a new article. You know they just have to have the last word in over there.

Business is business. You just know, that they so wish they had the nerve to be able to try even a fourth of the techiques that are effective to make good AC money. Oh wait.. that would require WORK and leaving the AC forum long enough to actually read the steps in Redtide's book. Ooops my bad!

I just had to vent. I went over there to peek in the AC forum. I just quietly stepped out as they continued to sit on their outhouse thrones.

 

[srb888]

Don't worry, we will make the best pesticides in the world if required. You know the ingredients, and I am sure they too know it now. Our repellent can be used by any of their targets now so easily! The thorns are just about to pierce the hard skins if they don't change positions quickly. Hopefully they have began changing in mind, but as usual it will be hard to implement. Let's watch them further.

Of course, they have been of nuisance value to all concerned, but somehow the authorities were too busy counting money and failed to visualize the end-results. Any way, let's give them a little more time. We have some more patience left in us obviously, but no one can wait till those kids get graduation! I am hopeful, for all concerned, that the site is lit like a Christmas tree this year's greatest day, and not like a wildfire.

Any way, dear friends, I just got a e-mail from the top man on a great site - a long-term online job is waiting for me, and the people there are really as great as the people with whom I am working for almost 2 years now! Sharing this with you all gives me the greatest pleasure! God bless!

 

[Leila]

That's great! Good for you and I hope all goes well. Does this mean you are giving up AC?

AWWWW congrads on the job, just don't be a stranger, ya here!

 

[srb888]

I was never happy with AC, not because it's fetching me only about 20% or less of what I get on other site, but I need true friends to really function well. I was alone there, and on forum - these horrible creatures really destroyed all my appetite. Even if I ignored them, who would stop them from over-bossing me! I will tell you how great those people with whom I am working with really are! The boss is a great human being, we are great friends, and so are the rest of the team.

There was one incident some time ago, one forum member said some foul things about me, and before I logged in, the boss had him and the thread out of sight forever. As I had written some posts on the thread, I was surprised to see the thread being deleted... I googled the link and found the cache, and got the whole picture. That was about their forum, and the experience on their super blog where I spent so many beautiful days of my life was equally magnificent! They have always given me so much respect and love, always... it gave me an identity on the faceless internet. I'm happy to say that I have rediscovered UK! I'm associated now with two top authority sites in UK and am working with great friends there!

God has been really kind to me... I remember the day I left London in 1994, where I had worked as a s/w consultant, and having completed that project, I was on my return journey to NYC where my parent company was located. While I was waiting at the Heathrow, I vowed that I shall return to the lovely people of UK one day.

Well, internet has made that possible, and I am now working with 2 great UK-based companies in one of the best niches on the internet! Over these long years, those UK people haven't really changed! The new generation is equally kind and caring towards me! I come to BHW because I find the same kindness here and have some of the greatest human beings as my dear friends. Sadly, I never found the same feelings on AC.

I will not leave AC though. It too has become a part of me.

Anyway, I hope I haven't scared away my dear audience half-way through this rant!

P.S.: Now, don't talk to me like you'll are in a farewell party and I am the center-piece! I'm not leaving this place at all!

Glad that you're staying with us! :cool2: You're a great friend and tremendous help!

 

[Leila]

Even though it is not yet my place to call you friend since I am quite new here I am still very glad you will be sticking around because I would so miss the vivid pictures you paint of gnarly old hags, with greasy hair and lovely warts .

Congrats for the new job offer srb! It couldn't happen to a nicer guy

I know that you'll kill it my friend!!
