Who have guessed there was so much demand for taxis round your way, Rog

But that's not a fake VAT number. Just ask bannersbiz @ mmg.

Banners Broker Debunking The Myth

Interesting read - I would like to know how a website gets to publish onto the blind network - not 'a' blind network 'the' blind network!

I see the company, according to the website, is now called "Macoone Online Marketing" too

Well, part of what makes Banners Broker work is that they are also partnered with Internet traffic companies – companies that for a fee, send real live visitors to the websites where the ads are.

So, when an affiliate purchases ad inventory, he also purchases the means to make that ad inventory create revenue – traffic.

Wait ... now how would they do this without having advertisements?

*Sigh* So professional.

It's probably just me, BUT, if what I was trying to do is throw investigators of my trail, that's probably the sort of thing I'd do.

Minor differences in the spelling of any company names to fool Mr Google and casual observers, I mean.

Not that I'm suggesting anyone associated with such an illustrious enterprise such as Banners Broker would stoop to doing something so deceitful, mind you.

Not that I'm suggesting anyone associated with such an illustrious enterprise such as Banners Broker would be bright enough to think of that, mind you.

Fixed that for you

Thanks for that, Theseus.

For a moment there I was forgetting it's a HYIP ponzi I am talking about.

This 'The' Blind network really does seem to be the new big thing at the moment

Banners Broker Blind Network Explained | Dane Sampson

Still not sure whether it is one magical mystical entity in its own right or if it is a Banners Broker entity?

Feeling in a sombre mood this morning and with a head full of cold, I'm going to get philosophical. It won't make the blindest bit of difference to anyone on here, but I might feel a tad better.

Whatever BB are doing in terms of getting new partners, mis-spelling names for VAT numbers, shape-shifting etc, this does not lend any greater authenticity to the claims that this is a legitimate business. It's just a load of cr*p.

People who defend this "company" (loose term here) and have recruited others into BB need to really think how they are going to explain all the BS they have been spouting to their nearest and dearest family & friends when it all goes splat. All the money that you may have withdrawn from BB won't make up for the furore that will ensue when peope realised that you conned them. Some of those friends actually will pursue you legally and they will win.

I have yet to see any convincing evidence that BB is a legitimate company and what they do is all above board and legal. Until someone does produce that, nothing will change my mind as to what BB is.

And it's the same old, same old cr*p they are spouting. Still doesn't explain it well either: well you can't explain it at all really can you?

That must be direct from BB HQ, I've seen that posted verbatim on a few sites now. Essentially it's drivel, if any of that were true they'd have come out with it from the very beginning instead of humming and hawing every time they were asked what a "blind network" was.

I get the feeling it'll be David Hooker's handiwork, it certainly smacks of being more carefully crafted than any of the nonsense that has been spouted previously.

Interesting isn't it....anything the BB lords throw out ,the dogs swallow as a peace of cake...imagine Smith would say next 12 months no payout will be done at all..I bet the servants & slaves would be more then happy to explain the world how great this is for the business...when you deal with something like BB you can do anything except using your brain - this is highly forbidden...it looks more as slavery then as a company - and this is egzactly ponzi survive strategy - enough new ,fresh money and,in case it fails, enough strong mind control so that the engine can runn some more milles even when fuel is burnt in hope that new wave of victims will take place any moment - what brings me to believe that the future BB will try to organize more as a sect then as a pure ponzi game,especialy after the money will start coming in drops,what I think,is happening now.Let's see how far the new slavery can hold the ponzi

In my observation of HYIP ponzi "games" I'd say it takes the "normal" non HYIP playing "newbie" at least 5 or 6 attempts before he/she realizes that they are ALL "games" and are treated as such by regular HYIP ponzi "players"

They are ALL pure fantasy.

Anyone who takes the time to read through the volumes of material available on previously collapsed HYIPs of the AdSurf Daily / Zeek Rewards / 12 Daily Pro type will soon realize the only (relatively) safe way of playing HYIP ponzis is to believe NOTHING being said, no matter how "real" it may appear to be.

Unfortunately, though, there will ALWAYS be those who think they have stumbled on the road to riches, just as there will ALWAYS be criminal predators only too glad to relieve the unwary of their hard earned and those who believe the rantings of the latest positive thinking guru that "never, ever, ever give up" and dismissing anything even remotely negative are the keys to successful "investing"

Methinks she'd have been better spending a tenner on a Monopoly set, the results will be the same at the end of the day...

Like the work you're doing with your blog. Reads really clearly and explains things well. Look forward to the photos ;)

Seems to me it's high time BB moved its servers into the cloud, like thepiratebay.se ....

Facebook down..multiple sites down.
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 12/10/2012 - 3:27pm

Site: facebookLast week, GoDaddy was hacked; regardless of what GoDaddy says in an effort to mislead consumers - the facts are clear..they were compromised. Websites associated with GoDaddy are systematically being taken down - Gmail an hour ago, Facebook, Bank of America, Pandora, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail Last Night..shall I continue?This needs to be reviewed because facebook, as of this moment, does not exist in DNS servers. I have multiple screen shots of the progressive failure of Facebook which indicates that it was being done step-by-step. There is no doubt about this and companies need to be transparent and honest in what has happened. I was able to ping another Facebook address after it went down which worked, it resolved fine in the browser. A few minutes later - it was gone. Reports worldwide indicate that it is down. Even SITEDOWN.COM is down! Downforeveryoneorjustme results show me that it does not exist on the "Interwho". We need to be wary of a large scale cyberattack........ Oh, earlier - look at the interesting SQL error that came up even on Facebook games? MySQL ExceptionMessage: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
File: /opt/cc/wc.20121206-1702/www/application/library/Api/Player.php
Line: 144
Query: UPDATE users SET seentime = 1355176189 WHERE userid =
Generally lots of reports of Facebook and Bank of America being down over the course of the day. GoDaddy, BofA, and Facebook seem to be back up though. Still it illustrates that BB is not the only site in the world that has problems!

Rog I'm not sure if you're clever at weaving stories to excuse BB being down yet again, or you do actually believe what you wrote (which many a non-techie would).

As littleroundman pointed out, the bulk of your post was of a major outage report that GoDaddy suffered on the 10th Sept (the news report is dated two days later) as per https://twitter.com/GoDaddy/status/245213898683318272

Facebook was down today, but was due to a DNS update that only affected Facebook users (and only some). Unrelated to the above outage of course.

For your site/s being down, there is no reports elsewhere that GoDaddy was down today (which would be pretty serious), their twitter feed has nothing and nor does Whirlpool - which is usually an excellent indicator for popular sites/hosts being down. So most likely a local issue to you, or your sites are served from elsewhere and they had an outage.

The only way GoDaddy being down can affect Banners Broker, is if the GoDaddy Name Servers are attacked. As previously posted, the BB website is not hosted with GoDaddy, only registered through them (for the name ownership).

So my point is, with all due respect none of what you said had anything to do with the totally unprofessional Banners Broker website being down for an extended period (once again).

PS - that post by 'anonymous' is seriously flawed too, but no need to go into that here.

PPS - Awww, Rog had a little cuddle with his friend on Facebook. Glad to see your spirits have lifted though, and you're back ready to stick up for your immoral business again!

How come for a page of 4100+likes, it gets so few comments and comment likes? My own page of about 100 real friends gets more than that! I guess people are afraid to associate themselves with Banners Broker in public, huh?

Completely correct - Banners Broker is not hosted by GoDaddy.

Does anyone else think its odd that some of the Choice network websites are only showing adverts via Google? No BB adverts at all. Interior Spread - Interior design
Even their own websites are refusing to show BB banners!
