Anyone feel up to contacting the advertisers concerned to confirm?

Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

banner ads for scams on a team's website doesn't mean the team is 'advertising' with them. Again, if they are, why do they need affiliate money and why wouldn't the team be raking in the cash? Let's see the contract the team signed for the 'advertising'.

I can't even get it to come up with a banner ad on the team's site.

I think this is someone's affiliate link. There are plenty of MLM/Affiliate programs that let pikers play travel agent.

Markets.com

Also looks like agents can set up their own accounts on the site directly.

An adult ticket is £20.00 if you book direct, why advertise on MAPS when their site is #2 on Google, right under a program called London Pass? For this to be of any significance IMO My Advertising Pays would have to be at the top of a search for the venue.

Unfortunately such an alleged coup is not on the front page of the MAPs site while 2 ads to join MAPs are being featured.

GOTCHA!

Caught out again MAPs - Arsenal does not advertise with you, as they have confirmed to me this evening.

That's right.....gotta get money into the system!

Sounds like a lot of people may be signing up, but that is all they are doing, and that the sale of credit packs is faltering. And that will never do, will it??

Its just peoples affiliate links. You see people advertising amazon as affiliates all the time on the traffic exchange. As if anyone is going to click on an ad and go "wow amazon great! I am going to go and buy something right now through this persons link!"

The only thing you are going to sell on the traffic exchange is other scams or ways to improve your scamming abilities. It just takes a while for some people to realise this.

does Arsenal really need affiliates to sell their stuff?

I have no doubt that many of the people joining do so for free just to keep the people hounding them over and over again to stop bothering them.

The downward spiral of MAP's started about 3 months ago but ever so subtly. In the coming months this downward spiral is going to pick up steam. Then the issues will start (one or more at a time):The website will go down suddenly for periods of time, there will be claims of DDOS attacks by the evil naysayers that don't want people to succeed, payment issues, the need for bigger servers but the migration will take longer than anticipated, information will be lost, back office not accessible, members taking advantage of a loop-hole and stealing from other members, which will prompt the need for an audit. And of course we will have the claim that things are being worked on and just be patient while these issues are fixed.

The latest trend when a program wants to shut down is to start with the website suddenly offline with no reason given, then just as panic starts to settle in, the issue gets fixed. The promoters tell the members they just need to have patience, the dreaded "P" word. Then later the frequency starts happening closer together, but then the issue is magically fixed again. The excuses are: there was a change to the script that caused the problem, there was a glitch when making changes to the program that was unseen, an upgrade had issues, and so on and so on. This lets the members get used to the site being down for periods of time, so no worries when it happens more frequently. All you have to do is be patient, as it always got fixed in the past, and this time it will be no different. Then one day the site goes down, but this time it doesn't come back. The members refuse to believe MAP's is no more. Unless of course the authorities don't shut it down first.

I can't imagine why anyone not in the scam biz would want to advertise, 18 months and MAPS site still looks like a child designed it. Visiting the official page makes me feel like I am about to step on hypodermic needle after contracting head lice.

Smart people staying away from this Ponzi scam...

Jules qualifications in serving advertisers for a large scale organization are what? She seems flustered members are joining and "doing nothing", as if they were paid on retainer to land large ad accounts.

Referrals realize MAPS a fool's errand and they were lied to when they were told they would be paid to click ads.

Nerd could you clarify something, does clicking an affiliate link paid for with the $3 ad share bonus qualify toward one's 10 clicks and profit share or are these somehow segregated?



The $3 ad bonus feels to me like it is created out of thin air, but if someone were to click 10 ads that were paid for with the $3 then that would mean profit share was coming from that same thin air.

Its a bit confusing but I will try and explain. The $3 from every credit pack that goes into your advertising fund can be used to purchase banner ads on the site. This is seperate from the traffic exchange and the advertising credits you get with the credit packs. There is absolutely no incentive what so ever for people to click the banner ads you see around the place. You also get free banners with a primetime membership.

Believe it or not people do click the banners. I ran a couple of banner campaigns and was getting between 0.01% and 0.04% CTR. No sales though.

When you buy a credit pack for $50 you are not only getting your $60 ROI but you are also getting 500 Advertising credits, which you can use to put a text ad on the traffic exchange. These are the ads that people need to be clicking to get there 10 a day quota to qualify for the profit share.

Hope that makes sense

Here's a charming little video with the Booths.

https://www.facebook.com/HowToMakeMo...c_location=ufi

They have programmers "booked up" for 6 years......and plans "written up for 10 years"! Wow, I'm convinced. And Mike Deese plans to hand it over to his daughter to run, and she's currently only 3 years old. We naysaysers need to back off, clearly, because there are long term plans in place and we know nothing. Apparently.

Well, the ladies with the laptops have to get off the sofa sometimes. They have to go shopping, have to sleep, have to wash their hair, the list is endless. People should stop complaining, don't you think?

Correct me if I am wrong, all this advertising is essentially free to the participant, but costs MAPS $7 for every 500 ads placed. Then the $3 ad fund is used to put up free banner ads that occupy space that could otherwise be sold to companies outside the scheme?

Conversely if this was not a Ponzi scam, the $50 purchase price for an ad pack could safely be dropped? The math is the same as an advertiser signing up, placing 500 ads, getting paid $7 plus $3 in banner comps.

The ladies with laptops must be out sunbathing this afternoon, not asnwering the pesky blighters who keep having problems.....

Claims to be in a 5* hotel in Monaco thanks to MAPs, but that doesn't look like a 5* hotel corridor to me. And why do they ALWAYS say they are in it to help others?

Yeah you are pretty much correct. Once you understand the compensation plan you realise there is absolutely no justification for having to spend $50 to get $57 back. The actual value of the advertising credits would be a few dollars max.

What exactly is "support" supposed to be doing? Are they sidebaring with the pretend "programers" Tony claims MAPs has under contract for the next 1000 years? A hosting company runs the MAPS website, all Deese has to do is make certain he has $29.95 available in his account for the Check'O'Matic.

Somehow "helping others" means earning a referral commission or making money so easy it has to be stolen. Would buy it a little more if the discussion was ever about helping other businesses advertise and drive sales. Then if they make a buck, great.

My support ticket , referrals won't call me back, hitting 1200 Addicted!!!!, buy buy buy, get more leads.

We have all appreciated Jon Walsh and his posts trying to discuss MAP's with Tony Booth, which Tony Booth refused to engage Jon in a discussion. Jon has graciously written an article for Eagle about MAP's from an ad exec's point of view. You can read it here: https://www.eagleresearchassociates....execs-opinion/.
