Anyone thats added adverts to Tasias will know all about the site priority!

Right on November 27th, I replaced my advert and pushed it up to the top!

Since then I have upped it again and also had two "auto-bids" (that I didn't even want) which once again, push you advert right to the very top!

These auto-bids were on Dec 4th abd Dec 5th, I didn't even choose to have these and I'm actually pretty certain I turned the "auto-bid" off!

Anyway, I've just tried changing my advert and noticed it only has a 41% priority and to send it to the top will cost me an extra $12.90!!!

This is a TOTAL con, as there is NO POSSIBLE way my listing should be so low down...

If you work it out, that means since December 5th, there would have had to have been 1290 adverts pushed above mine?

Anyone thats upgraded an advert on there, will know for a fact that after just FIVE days, this price is scandalous!

I mean the last time I upgraded it cost me about $14 and I hadn't upgraded for about FOUR MONTHS!

Yeah , that's pretty odd Brian . I've been a member since like day one --member #203 . I think I placed my ad then and I've never bothered to push it up and it's still at 23% . So hmmmm , that's is odd .

Yep Lexie, it sure is odd

There is NO WAY my advert should have been that low and if he thinks I'm forking out that much to throw it back to the top, he has another thing coming, I was actually expecting to pay around $1.50 or $2.00 TOPS!

But $12.90 is scandalous

I wouldn't mind, its not even mailing him, as I'm still waiting for a reply from a few days back when I mistakenly knocked my payment off the request list

But even stranger, since then I mailed him about something else, yet he replied to that pretty sharpish, it seems to me that Len decides to reply when it suits him!

Hes probably just doing what most webmasters do.. only answering things he sees as important and if its in the faq page you will probably never get a reply..

He's a bit of an enigma for sure . Leaving ppl to speculate isn't gOOd either . Are you a platinum ? If so , do you recommend it ? I've pretty much decided to click up enough for a silver just to get paid sOOner . Got about $35 bux to go LOL

Yeah Lex, I'm a plat member...

Do I recommend it?

Hmm, hard one to answer really, actually I'd say NO now!

When I first upgraded, it was to get the daily FREE emails

This then went up to 50 cents to send a paid email

Now its just ridiculous, you try and send an email advert out and all we get is "email option unavailable"

This in itself is scandalous, as I know I for one was especially attracted to the plat membership for this option alone

Then theres the referral percentage?

I'm supposed to get 20% on all levels, I now have NINETY referrals, yet half the time I getting around $1.00 (although at times I do get up to $5) a day, its very puzzling!

Further to this complaint, I'm just looking at the place to put in BRAND NEW adverts!

To place a BRAND NEW advert and throw it up the top would cost me (or anyone else) $16.96


"Do you wish to place your link at the top of the list for an additional $16.96?"


Yet my advert, which was top of the lot on Dec 5th would cost me $12.90 to send it back to the top???


Absolutely SCANDALOUS!!!

You plats aren't able to use the paid emails thingy now ? Whoa! That bites ! I thought everyone had just slacked off because of bad results . I mean there was a time I got so many in a day , I didn't even try to reaf them . Just tOOk the penny * hangs head shamefully * I thought it would be much better for the advertiser if they were targeted or something .

You said you get about 1 bux earned from your refs . Is that a month ?

OOh btw , sorry for all the questions , but thank you for all the answers

BTW , I've often wondered why he didn't take part of the cost of posting new banners for the program . You know $4 to the plat or silver and $1 to go back into expenses . I would think most members would have been pleased with $4 . Especially if he were using some of the other to make the place better for earners . Just a thought .

No, thats daily, but when you think about it, I know for a fact that several of my referrals are VERY active, and I myself get about 50 cents a day in earnings, 20% of 90 referrals should be more than $1.00!



Nope and it annoys the h.ell out of me (and others I suppose)!



LOL, no probs

I get very sporadic earnings from my refs . There are days without any credits at all . I too know I have at least 1 very active ref -- she's my sister ! LOL!

PS , I meant to ask you if you think the program is going to get better again ?

I'm about ready to just give up on this program. I have no referrals and I'm hearing more bad things about this place everyday.

I think it's more problems than it's worth.

Nope, I think its getting worse

The payments situation is a joke

The emails we (plat members) are supposed to get, are hardly available

And this latest episode with my advert ratings has topped it

Just looked at my advert, it went back up 67%, then dropped back down to the 50's

Oh and another thing, are you (or anyone else) getting the odd email?

I am myself, but the strange thing is, the emails have not been available to send for a couple of days! So whose sending these emails we're getting out? Len perhaps? Makes you wonder doesn't it? Especially seeing as though one of them is the EXACT same advert everyday, its a search email and its never "expired" or "been read"!!!

Hows that possible? If the emails are unavailable for sending???

Yep Robyn, I'm getting pretty fed up with it myself, if I could have my earnings I'm owed (coming up to $200) today, I'd think about just leaving it and letting my referrals earn for me!

As it says that !platinum" members can't get deleted for inactivity!

Yes , I think I received 5 or 10 emails yesterday and a few today . About half were searches , if I remember correctly . hmmm very odd indeed !

I really think the members would be willing to help him get the program back on track -- just like mec-co-op , if he would be a little more open with his members , like Carol was . *shrugges*

I still think I'll upgrade . After all , the money ISN'T going any where any way eh ? No other no-min program I know has a wait this long . I'm guessing it will be about 6 months before tasia's pays me again since last request was 10/01

I get this when I log in at the very top of the pg . First part is in red . I have no clue either .

On the illegal attempt issue

If you are on a dialup connection then your IP will change each time.. as Len uses this in his illegal attempt script it will tell you this..

I just checked it out as I've had one of these so called attempts as well and it turns out its just me (between logging in this time and logging in earlier today I had reconnected to the internet)

I've emailed Len and asked him to include these details on the news page so people don't get all confused and freaked out..

Hope this helps

WOW!!!

Would you believe I got a reply off Len?

And even better, the situation has been resolved, lol, makes me look good doesn't it? NOT!

I mean the times I've sent emails to len and nothing gets answered, yet this time it has, must have been the heading on my email, lol...in bold letter "I want this sorted out IMMEDIATELY"

My advert has now been placed back to top priority and Len even added a further 1,000 clicks to it

He says it must have been a script error!

So I take back all I've said, lol!!!

If it's not asking too much could you post it, or some excerpts?
Not that I doubt your word, I just doubt my eyes It'd be like seeing the Loch Ness on film

LOL, Yeah SF, I know what you mean, so heres the reply I got, now get ready to frame this

==========================================

Brian,



You are being awfully abrasive all of a sudden. WHY?????



First of all.



1) The auto-bids can be turned off ?. You are given an explicit message on auto-bidding when you move your list to the top.



2) The listing may have been a system error, in that case, I AM SORRY IT CAN BE FIXED. I?ve moved it to the top for you n/c. Also added extra visitors for you.



3) The biddings have been moving VERY fast today, it?s unusually busy.



I understand that there are many other things you might be upset at me about, because loyalty is very hard to earn in this business, but I like to try. As far as answering email, YES I have to answer 100?s per day, many of them NASTY, but MOST can be resolved.



I hope I have been able to resolve this to your satisfaction.



Len.


======================================

Was that a fkying saucer I just seen?

OOohhhh, Brrriiaaannn, you are being soooo abrasssivvve....with that BIG GUN of yours Ooohhh move it to the TOP and put some extra visitors all over it ooo don't turn off my auto bidding now, the message is...soooo explicit The biddings....have been....have been...moving...have been moving, and moving, andmovingandmoving so fast...it's NASTY, but I'll resolve it to your satisfaction

Now THAT would be a good email






LOLOLOL sorry it couldn't be helped at this time of night



And the saucer is really Poncer's people come to take him home.

LMAO

That's great news ! WTG Brian !

BTW Juliet , I don't have dial up . hmmmm

Yes, there have been script errors - like any other program - but if you bring it his attention and have the documentation he corrects the situation. If you are right, then you are RIGHT! He usually answers my emails, but then I don't send many and I gather all the facts, and bundle it all together to make my case.

As per emails....there were times when we couldn't place email as it said something about maintenance. It was frustrating as I had made the copy and then couldn't use it...

Email receipt of late have been very slow. The sending of my emails have been even slower: My email of Dec 6 has been clicked by only 14 users....

And, yes, I'm waiting for payment like the rest of you...I hope the current site promotions will help with the payments before the new year...

No dial up? Ok the guy seems over his head in work. He ought to shut the site down and fix the bugs. All WM do when they don't fix errors is get to many of their members upset, they send e-mails and he has less time to do things answering them. So shut down and fix the problems. Its faster, with less unhappy members.
