GetLandingPages.com Sucks! DO NOT USE THEM - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Insomniac · 01-04-2008, 01:52 PM

Do not use this company for your landing pages. Their service is painfully slow, their work is sloppy, and they don't give a shit about anything but themselves.

The landing page they made for me not only does not do what I want it to do, but also has the following flaws:

1) The call to action is way BELOW the fold

2) The graphics are sloppy and look like someone has shat on a piece of paper then scanned it

3) Text which contains important keywords has been coded out as images

4) It converts at LESS THAN HALF of the existing landing page

5) It's color scheme is a polar opposite of the page it links to

6) After three requests to phone me they have not

Their work used to be quality, but now it's simply shit and overpriced. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

is it just me or did we just come from a busy holiday season. Give them till monday, going through the whole christmas shenanigan isnt easy for any affiliate marketer. Give em till monday before you start crying wolf. We are all recovering from one hell of a season.

Insomniac · 01-04-2008, 02:02 PM

Nope, the order was placed mid December. They were given ample opportunity to correct their fuckups.

That's odd... Kevin is normally very good at what he and his company does. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

Kevin and Don no longer own GetLandingPages.com, it is run by someone else. The new management blows chunks.

anoko · 01-04-2008, 06:01 PM

Yeah turnover time is not what it used to be anymore. Shame those guys sold out to suckers.

exosus · 01-04-2008, 06:36 PM

I agree. Purchased priority service and still took 3 weeks. What a joke. Had to finally threaten to reverse payment to get any response. Finally delivered terrible work. Stay away from them

Jon · 01-04-2008, 06:44 PM

I would advise everyone against using them again... I won't even begin to bitch about them now as I'm not in an arguing mood.

But because of Kevin misusing his WF Moderator powers yesterday, and also due to lack of effort and activity here, has been removed as a moderator. I'm VERY disappointed to see them go in the direction they've chosen, because they definitely had the right stuff back at Affiliate Summit East. After that though, it seemed to all go downhill.

Damn shame.

I'm pretty sure they still own it and manage it to some degree, but even so, they should still be held accountable for the direction their company has turned from where it once was to where it is now.

Snippets from my conversation with Kevin where he points out he no longer has any more than friend ties with them

(04:18:33 PM) porscheg77: yeah im not really involved any more
(04:19:17 PM) porscheg77: dons not involved either
(04:27:39 PM) porscheg77: im in e-commerce now
(04:28:51 PM) porscheg77: im friends with the people who run it now though so

natekapi · 01-04-2008, 08:19 PM

Weird. I liked them. They did one page for me back in the summer and it was good. Too bad. Now I'm not really sure where to turn for really proper designs.

jelf · 01-04-2008, 11:24 PM

exactlly what i was fucking thinkin

I have never bought a landing page from anyone, but I was looking around a few months ago and thinking about it. I decided I would rather order from that one guy here and give him a shot than those guys.

Kfleming · 01-05-2008, 06:55 PM

I just want to chime in here if I may. One of the reasons Don and I moved on from getlandingpages was what has been shown here today. When I left we were doing about 60 pages a week. Now if all 60 of those people each week were unhappy there would be a lot more threads just like this one, but there arn't. It's really amazing how all it really takes to ruin a company when you are in the service business is one inconsiderate prick.

Jon removed my Wickedfire Moderator abilities because he believes that I misused them when I removed something that I truly believed to be slander (I have proof of this but wickedfire has enough drama already). If it was Soley because of lack of participation then I completely agree with him.

I did a lot of hard word for Wickedfire in the past and its a real shame that Jon, and others couldn't have just given me the benefit of the doubt or at least spoken with me about what happened, and as of now no one has. However it seems thats how our society has become these days, no one gives anyone the benefit of the doubt any more.

C'est la vie

jelf · 01-05-2008, 08:06 PM

If you didn't read above I agreed with jon saying you had it on lock at ase. I cant and wont comment now cause I have no fucking clue and never said a bad word about you or anyone else for that matter at this moment. lol
