Have you asked them where the promised #1 positions are?

When you signed up, do they send you any further email?
If so, can you unsubscribe?

Do you receive any other spam to the email address you signed up with?

Sylvan, I don't believe that I have tarnished your name. If you had bothered to read the whole thread you would see that I have already said this was a simple error on my part and have already apologised to oleblighty for my mistake. I can assure you that I'm far from retarded. I'm not even sure that decent people use the term 'retarded' anymore - not very pc is it Noel? Your post has just reiterated my thoughts about this board - that many (but not all) people posting on here have massive ego's and are unwilling to listen to what other people have to say. As someone who is advertising 1on40 using PPC, you are obviously happy with what it offers so perhaps you would have been better off sharing with forum members your thoughts on the company and the results it is achieving for you. This might have helped to put the minds of what seems like an increasing number of people at rest. But perhaps you would just prefer to spend your obviously valuable time posting stupid comments like 'you are retarded'. Clever! Something tells me that you are quite capable of tarnishing your own name with no help from me!
sticks and stones Sylvan!

I don't understand. What luck are you talking about?

The answer is above - We do not rank or send our site to the #1 Google or Yahoo etc., as we allow our affiliates to submit their own businesses to get top rank, not us.

We will not waste our time posting here again for your pleasure REG as you seem to be not only a half wit but a pain in the rear too.

~snip~

Well, apparently the affiliates are not doing such a great job in their promotions because my google search today for the term 1on40 put their site at the top. Although, I suspected this would eventually happen on it's own when affiliates got their links in. Yahoo is not far behind. And MSN had them at number one as well.

I am also amused at the number of times the 1on40 repeated they were not going to post in here anymore, and they weren't going to entertain us.

I can tell how reputable they are just by how they stuck to their word in here.

Sounds all too familiar, the Salem Witch Trials treated their vicrims better than you guys treat 1on40!
All I know is that there's a lot of money at stake for you old time seo'ers if 1on40 is not a scam, and if it is I'm out nearly 100,000 dollars because that's how many sign-ups I have. That's right, I work for the sons of witches, and you work in seo and have a lot to lose if 1on40 proves to be legit. Anyway, all both sides here did was rile me up. Nothing productive has come out of either point of view here. Three pages of garbage is what I've read by both you and 1on40. You give such a nice introduction just before I posted, then I had to remember the garbage collection is coming round again. And on both sides! Good thing it's not paper because between the two sides you would have wasted a whole forest. Terrible behavior! Bad Naughty! Now that I've slammed my own company as well as you guys what do you have to say?

What do I have to say?

How about "Show us the money!"

It has been well over the 120 days for the "We will get you to #1 on Google" statement, where are the results?
Where are the linked testimonials from the hugely pleased clients?

The only results I've seen posted were from KBAnet posted on scam.com:

I got an e-mail from 1on40 last October. I signed up one of my sites just to see what would happen. 150+ days later (they promise 120 days), my site is not #1.

Ditto - Nothing here as well.

I just got emails with some gibberish about an advertiser making thousands in one week and advetise on their site for some amount.

[webmast3r]

They owe me around $6000 in affiliate payments right now. They better pay!! lol. It doesn't look like ill be seeing a penny of that money after i read this thread.

[joe35]

1on40 is a scam and NO ONE anywhere has made a dime from these people!
Those of us that have put in time with this company, if you can call it a company, know that it's a scam.
Credits were suppose to be released yesterday April 28th along with info on how to cash in on those credits,
did 1on40 release the credits?, (NO).
When asked about the release of credits I got a email the next day saying that we should read the backoffice news for the 28th of May, but that insert that is dated 19th March 2008 - Part 1
has nothing to do with the release of credits, only the end of beta testing, this is what it says from insert dated 19th March 2008 - part 2, DOUBLE CREDITS & AFFILIATE CASH
We are doubling your credits for anyone you refer as a client and also for every affiliate you refer into 1on40.
Now you get 2 credits for each referral you make… And 2 for every client.
Credits are being released to all affiliates on April 28th. You will be alerted to how to claim your credits here in the news section on 28th April 2008. Please log in regularly each week for updates to this release date and how to collect and usage.
Now it clearly says that all credits will be released.
They don't know what's in their own back office news!
Yes people it's a scam,,,,move on, I had over 1,600 credits, worth around $350,000 dollars, if we go by their promise of pay for credits,,,,SORRY IF YOU GOT SCAMMED BUT IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, A LOT DID!!!! I WILL HUNT THESE PEOPLE DOWN, IT MIGHT TAKE TIME, BUT I WILL FIND THEM,,ANYONE WANT TO JOIN IN THE HUNT POST HERE,

[avenuegirl]

I'm wishing you luck joe.

I had a nasty wordpress crack down and had to move my blog - but I will be happy to add your story to my blog.

I would love to see someone get paid - but I don't think it's gonna happen.

I do not think it is going to happen either.
It looks like the whole 1on40 scheme was to get as much traffic to the site as possible by promising the world without intent to deliver.

Top search engine positions, "fantastic" affiliate commissions just served to lead people to advertise 1on40 and the traffic generated lined his pockets through the sale of advertising.

Go to 1on40.com and count the $89/month ads rotating across the top.

If you have been ripped off in getting your site positioned or through not getting paid for your affiliate works, contact his hosting company, PowWeb.

I have tried 1on40. I thought since it was free until you see results there is no harm in it. However, it hasn't worked for me. You are meant to see results in 120 days. I have been with them longer than that and no results apart from a slight increase in PR caused by my article marketing etc.

[beltzaser]

Seems 1on40 went quiet after defending his "company" for so long! Should we declare Reg the official winner? He's got my vote!

After that time you then bid to keep your placement.

I read the site and something stuck me as familiar.

You guys remember MTT (more than traffic)?

Well, the writing and design of the site has the "creators" of MTT stamped all over it.

Check out the tool to show you how you can be number 1. Now, remember the gadget MTT had to show how much search engine traffic you would get.

These were created by the same mind.

Another UK address - but this time a Russian IP address for hosting.

Some of you were good a getting the dirt last time around - so posted here to see if some enterprising soul wants to take a closer look.

Of course, I could be wrong and this could be a legitimate service...and I am an astronaut named Zippy!

Cheers.

Although this site has gone same way as monopolizer & MTT, it's apparent that the likes of Anthoni Clarke et al etc, etc are not behind all of these scams.

Rather, the concept itself is as well worn as the nigerian 419 and ponzie scams.

Someone is selling the concept to wannabe scammers like Clarke and Hopkins and setting them free on the unsuspecting public.

Oh, well. As long as places like this exist and as long as people like blighty are on the job not many of them last for too long.

Pity about the suckers who lose their hard-earned but that's what scamming is all about.........suckering the gullible dumb bastards out of their money..

Another happy ending!

Actually 1 on 40 was the winner.
At one point I counted 80+ ads on his site.. at $89GBP each that is $7000 a month. He is still getting 600 visitors a day.
