hey all - i'm just starting to get my feet wet w/ AM. Just curious if anyone has run the cash4gold offer and had success with it. I just read somewhere that they have 2 spots during the superbowl - thought it might be a decent fit but don't wanna waste my time if the offer or conversion rates are crap. thx

Yea, just got an email from HydraNetwork about the offer. I tried running it a month ago, not great results - only broke even. But then again, I didn't put in that much effort to make it successful.
Depends on the network. I was running cash4gold as a banner until it was pulled from Ads4Dough. But there are others with similar payouts such as gold envelope, and one that was called broken gold. So even though the offer may be in the list for your network, double check the expiration.
Far as the conversion rate, that all depends on your ability to market it.

Though In my opinion people are more likely to go straight to cash4gold.com instead of searching for a banner or offer. (though least it would probably increase the conversion confidence if someone does stumble upon one of our offers).
I guess Kinda like how mentions of Opera and Rachel Ray helped push Acai offers.
I think there will be quite a lot of google searches for "cash4gold".
Maybe even more towards "cash for gold".
People aren't too good with memorizing exact domain names. If they are watching the superbowl, they probably won't attempt to search for the site for another hour or two; or long break. By that time, I'm pretty sure they be googling instead of going direct.
Hammer is 2 Legit to Quit. i think that's why i wanna promote this offer. Who's got the highest payout?
Tested it out this month at pjn and am seeing very solid results thus far. Once I can get my damn avg cpc's down a bit more I'll be good to go.
Cash4Gold Will Offer One-Third of the Actual Value for your Gold
Some dick calling Cash4Gold a scam. He complains because the offer he got was for one third the value of the gold he sent in. He did get a better offer when he called in to complain. I love how people get pissy when they realize businesses are trying to turn a profit.

I find the people who would call any deal not in their favor a scam... would be like calling all the casinos of Vegas a scam, or the gas price at the pumps.
Fact of the matter is, he would have gotten less at most jewlers too. And besides the "value" he claims is only good if he can actually get someone to pay him for it. (edit: however they did , least if he's right, gave him much less than their own price quote)
Here's the thing though ,after reading further, he's not pissy cuz they're trying to turn a profit, he's pissy because they didn't give him their own prices.
ie:
C4D Noted higher price per DWT, yet only received 60$ back from C4D. So either he didn't send in that much gold, or C4D grossly undervalued the gold against their own prices. Wasn't matter of turning a profit, but not valuing the gold against the prices they quoted. And if their immediate counter offer of 178$ is true, then they just admitted to not paying the agreed price rate.
I would be all for a company trying to turn a profit, and such, but I couldn't support a company not giving what they promised (in this case the 13-15 per DWT that they said they'd give). This is of course assuming the article is in truth.
I have an unusual knack for finding gold jewelery for pennies (bending down and doing a careful search when others won't is partly the reason), and have sold lots and lots of gold at tremendous profit. Local jewelers offer 1/2 to 1/3 what I get paid from a city refiner bringing the gold personally to them and getting cash in hand.
C4G pays you approximately what a jeweler would. Jewelers buy gold from suckers and resell to refiners. The payout from them is no worse than from the old guy using a loupe who resized your wedding ring.

He said they took down their prices before he sent his gold in. There's nothing saying how much time there is between those two events. Regardless, a low ball first offer isn't unusual business practice in most industries. It's called negotiating, and considering they gave him a better offer as soon as he called in, I think he did alright. There was no need to piss and moan.
You guys didn't post the follow up to that article where Cash4Gold offered him a couple thousand dollars to take the post down: Cash 4 Gold would like to melt down and recast their reputation . Pretty funny. I'll bet Cash4Gold offered this "reputation management" company something much more than a few thousand to get this post taken down and the best they could come up with was to offer the original writer a cut of what they were getting.
I see he took advantage of the adsense advice.
PS: He should rake in on leads to Gold Envelope or other competitors.

I am a former employee of Cash 4 Gold. I did not know much about the company before being hired. On my first day of being hired, I was taught the "Cash 4 Gold Scam" from beginning to end.
1. The "refiner's pack" that is used for you to put your jewelry is "insured for UP TO 100 dollars, " according to how much they feel your items are worth, NOT appraised at
2. We receive your "Refiner's Pack" within 3-4 days, but we are instructed to tell you that it takes "7-10 business days, for us to receive your pack, ALTHOUGH your package has already arrived.
3.Your jewlery gets appraised by hand/magnifying glasses/
a small weight pad, and a bottle of mystery fluid, which your items are then give a value for. Not million dollar equipment or specially trained jewelry experts.
4. Although the payment (check) for your item is dated within 24 hrs of testing your jewelry, we sometimes DO NOT actually send out the check until up to 3-4 days later.
5. We claim a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee or your jewelry returned, BUT THE CATCH IS, that the guarantee is contacting us within 10 DAYS from when your check is DATED. (This begins with the time it takes for the accounts payables dept. to issue the check and also including the transit time for you to receive your check in the mail. **** NOTATE THE COMMERCIALS THAT STATE U GET YOUR CHECK IN 24 HRS.***
5. IF you are lucky you will receive your check around the "7th-10th" bus iness day, AND more then 97% of the time Customers are outraged when they lay eyes on the amount of the check. Some Customer's even receive a check for 0.01 cents. (TRUTH) Thats including items of great value (Diamonds, Platinum/ Gold and Sterling)
6. They sometimes even receive your valuables and like them so much THAT we CLAIM to not have received the items just so the "TOP" people or even "FAVORED" people can get first dibs on your items. From which point we issued an INSURANCE CLAIM for UP TO 100 dollars. GOD FORBID your items are worth more then a 100 dollars, and when you call in to check on the status of your items, we tell you " YOU SHOULD"VE ADDED EXTRA INSURANCE ON YOUR ITEMS." We do not have an actual Insurance company, they use customer service reps as the claim department agents.
7. For those who receive there check within the 10 day frame, GOOD LUCK with trying to get in touch with a cust. srvc. rep before your 10 days are up. Which after your 10 days, your items are "ALREADY MELTED" or NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR RETURN."
8. For the "LUCKY" people who do get in touch with us within the alloted time frame, we already know what you are calling about. Customers want their items returned, because there
check amount is so insultingly LOW. The first thing a Rep will ask you is "HOW MUCH WERE YOU EXPECTING TO GET BACK?" This way we can know how much to "BONUS" you.
Definition of a BONUS: We issue low checks just to have you call us back if you are smart enough to realized that you just got scammed. For the smart one's we are paid to offer u a bonus up to 3x the original amount of your check and you accept. For ex: Sally Smith receives a check for $27.86 for a rolex watch(which we dont issue value for), a class ring, a ring with diamond chips, a pair of earrings with emeralds, as well as a few sterling silver pieces, and maybe a few items that were really of no value. Now Sally Smith calls the cust srvc dept, where she speaks to a rep who seems so concerned and will see if she can do better with the amount by speaking to a "SUPERVISOR". We then place the caller on Mute, and speak to our neighbors or doodle on a sheet, or twiddle with our hair for about 45 seconds, while we are supposedly speaking to our supervisor about Ms. Smith's complaint. We then come back with an offer to "BUMP UP YOUR MELT DATE or any other lies the cust srvc reps can think of, and offer you a total amount of $53.20 which is a little under double the amount of your original check. In which case if you accept, the cust srvc rep makes a 15.00 bonus off of your transaction. If the cust srvc rep offers you under triple the amount of your orig check, she makes 10.oo in bonuses.
9. If you accept the offer, the deal is done, and you are told that the call is recorded(which most of the time, the record button does not work.)Just a way to make your feel binded by a verbal contract. IF you do not accept the deal, you have to return your check, and it takes sometimes up to a month to receive your items back after we receive the check.
10. If you only want the items that we do not find of any value back, you have to pay a 10.00 shipping and handling fee to have your own items returned, which varies depending on sales for that week. IF sales are good, there is no fee, when we are slow, you must pay.
Cash 4 Gold is definitely not a trustworthy or credible company to do business with. You are almost better off taking your items to a local pawn shop or shopping around for other companies. With the economony the way it is, Cash 4 Gold seems to be a way out of financial stress for some, but in actuality becomes a stress of its own. I would advice you to think twice before sending in valuables or items inherited and of sentimental value. Its not worth it. I am not doing this as a way of Bashing their money making processbut more so to warn everyone.
