it's really pathethic, but i can't help but feel that the people who buy into this, but I can't help feel that if these buyers didn't get scammed by him they'd be scammed by other people.
I have a #1 ranking site for a keyword, I wanted to acquire a new established site in order to get the #2 position as well. So I went on flippa looking for sites to buy.
I came across a site that was ranking page 3 for the target keyword and it was EMD+suffix.com domain, so decent enough.
I saw his earning statements claiming he makes 1 grand a month from it. This is bull because I am #1 and that's how much I make, there is no way that guy was gonna be page 3 and make the same money as me.
I basically wrote that all out and called him out for lying, I even pointed out the fallicies in his own statements.
I noticed that 4/5 of the affiliate procuts he was promoting were clickbank products, and his clickbank earnings were $20 a month. 1/5 products he was promoting were on shareasale.com, and the shareasale income statements were for total income and may include earnings from all his other sites.
So I pointed that out, surely if he's promoting 80% of his homepage promoting clickbank products then the law of acerage says that a singificant chunk of the site earnings must come from clickbank, but it only has $20 of sales. So the site isn't making money.
He weasled out of the questions which I posted publicly on the auction pages. Much to my frustration, there were others posting genuine questions wanting to buy.. I get fucking annoyed that noone is taking me seriously, the bid was already into 4 figures so I thought fuck it, I only wanted a basic site and domain. This is beyond my budget, so I left it.
3 months later I'm still looking for a site, so I go on flippa and stumble onto the same auction which is now sold. It went for $2,500. I went on the site, new owner, redesigned and everything. I contacted him and asked just for my curiosity, how much money is the site making.. He told me since the 2 months he's owned it, it had made him £0
I got angry, SO WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU HEED MY WARNINGS THAT I POSTED FOR ALL TO SEE!!
Actually I didn't type that out, I was just thinking that.. I just asked politely, man I posted concenrs on the page didn't you read that?
He ignores the question and gives me some bull how he's a self made millionaire affiliate marketer and 2.5 grand isn't much money to him.. I think he was just making that up to massage his ego.
Lesson learnt, some people can't be helped, if you out scammers, nobody really thanks you for it, and you just expose yourself to a vulnerable position. Get banned, create enemies etc.
