Seo providers taking us for dumb

I completely disagree with this. The BST owner has to provide a review service to the moderator first. If the result is not acceptable, the BST won't be live ever.
I personally believe that the owners as well as the mods do their best to keep the marketplace clean. It's not only about money. If it was, every BSTs would have been accepted instantly, because it would result in much more money.

I agree mostly with you, but on the other hand I have seen some ridiculous misleading titles. Now a professional international SEO superstar like CEOMicky is not going to be mislead by these titles, but we do have some 12 years old kids who need protecting from this blatant misleading title trickery.

Any smart businessman knows that, as part of being responsible, you do your best to keep your industry clean. That is part and parcel why there are trade groups and associations. It is not just to share information but to also keep the industry clean.

The SEO providers here are all a part of the SEO industry and when one gets a black eye the others are tainted a little. Damien knows that, the Mods know that and the providers know that.

Hence the review process when it comes to setting up a BST here.
 
What's really funny is he acts like he knows his shit but thinks posting keywords all over
a publicly index forum is a good idea.
 
Graphs are very useful marketing visual/graphical tools:

Used wrongly,


  • They help to make potential customers eye-tied and brain-dead.
  • They can be used to lure very new, young and inexperienced (potential) buyers.
  • They can also be equally effective against experienced but careless buyers.
  • They also help to keep the existence of fine prints in blind-spot areas.
  • They should be seen the last, as an additional decision making tool, but they are (usually) read first and they become THE decision making tool. :(

Well that's the only way BHW owners earns something from their site, alias when a member upgrades to jr.vip, and most members do that only to be able to sell somethng in bhw marketplace.
so you do 1+1=2.

Most JrVIP's don't run ANY BST's here and as I understand it, it only costs $30 to open one, so I doubt it is much of a contribution to the sites revenue.

Sales threads are approved if they deliver to Mods what they advertise.

I think The Marketplace can still be improved BUT I still trust The Marketplace here more than any comparable marketplace on the net.

I don't even look at Graphs, I look at who is operating the sales thread, I look at their previous posts and how they deal with their customers.
 
Yes I have noticed those as well. the worst of them would be "Google approved backlinks" . This is completely a bullshit gimmick. I agree that BST section should have a guideline on what one can / can't write on their BST.

Absolutely spot on man. That's my feeling too. Plus we have the Shit-list section for extra protection.

BTB i have to disagree with you even i think that you are one of the most solid sellers here.
You BST were always VERY informativ and when buying from you people always knew what they would get and what to expect.
Todays threads you get a text like you will get 150 link Pr1-Pr5+ .What does that exectly means ?how will it be split ?No info on that which is in my eyes the most important question cause if he sells 149 PR1 and 1 Pr5 link he is still legit with his description.
People are posting here about reviews.Come on dudes you the seniors know the best that mods,exec's and seniors are pushing their friends BST so dont tell me to trust based on reviews.
I would be a fool when doing so.I'm a businessman doing internet marketing and i do my decission based on facts and not on suggestions , non backuped claims etc. .I would go instantly bankrupt and rapped if i would focus my decision not based on facts.
Misleading titles is another issue which i also saw many times.Old crap BST which are still selling their nonsense.
And about people attacking me that i do not know about seo i would request to sit calm since i know for sure many more about seo than most people here.You attack people with poor assumptions without knowing anything like in a noob board.
Fact is i want to buy a heavy seo plan spending $500-1000/month for 100 easy keywords but can't see based on the BST's which offer is solid and which not.No real data is provided.In 2008 the quality was also checked by mods
but it was also demanded where mods posted proof of quality or owners posted proof with data.
Its not wise to show keywords ?You dont need to show keywords.Just niche,competiotion and data of competing domains and you would already know everything.
About BST owners ......there i can't agree too.Its a fact that many poor or WAY overpriced services are trying to sell their shit on bhw were they suceed sometimes.
Now tell me how am i go to see the diffrence of 3 diffrent offers for $400-$500/month .....each claiming to provide 500-700 high pr links pr1-pr5+ without even providing even any data ?You want me to gamble and spend money for testing and wasting time ?
Is it to much as customer to demand legit information before a purchase ?
If you buy anything in the real world like a TV you dont check the data/information first which TV has the best parameters or do you just buy based on the look ?
Like i said i'm a businessman and i ALWAYS base my purchase on facts.
BHW calls itself a businessboard but their services looks mostly like childish scams.
Sorry but thats my honest opinion.

Oh look, it 's that time of the month were our trusted pissed off ex-member comes back to troll. This is like your 200th account now? :)

WOW! Just 5 mins before your post, I had written to W130sn that this could be a banned member, but I am not recollecting the earlier name.... :)

Can you let me know his past username? Just curious because his particular writing style was bugging me no end, and so I had written to W130SN whether he can recollect the banned member's earlier user-name.

Thanks!

Damn, is it so hard to send a pm to the seller and just ask?

Everyone who orders anything on the internet uses his common sense. Don't try to limit anybody's freedom.

Ask and think?

Man, you bitch about it all but what would be your big dream solution?
To ask president to review the BSTs? Pope?
 
He has a good point but it's going a bit far to be offended by it. The way I see it is - they can either provide the screenshots they are currently or they can provide nothing. I prefer the current.

Though if I was selling a geninue product that worked then I would provide the search volume numbers and round it up/down a little.
