Avaden,

You are simply trying to win an argument by shouting the loudest. Your points are all meaningless.

1. I was referring to you "bashing" our service and not being "cordial" when you pretended to be a customer and then sent a rude email about how it was a cheap rip-off of your site. The other forum members were not aware of this -it was meant for you only.

2. I have nothing to be sensitive about, so I believe you should question yourself on that point. Using terms like "it sucks", etc, etc... how professional is that? In all honesty, it sounds like you are jealous. Either that, or you truly do not understand what our system is capable of -even though I just explained it in my last post.

3. The broker argument is very trite. It is a matter of semantics. We are not like traditional brokers -as we do not even know when a sale has happened in most cases. So, we do not directly negotiate deals, set prices, ...you know what? who cares. This is a ridiculous point.

Ahh... deep breath... let's continue humoring you for just a short while longer:

4. As I said before, I won't continue to argue the "spam" accusation. If the mods feel my post(s) are inappropriate, by all means, delete them. I have no problem with that -as it is not my forum.

5. The fact that our system manages text links -even on HTML pages is on several pages of the site. Mostly within the free help tutorials in our library. In one of our revisions of the homepage, we did remove the part of "-even on HTML pages" (which was not intended). I have added it back. Thanks for pointing that out. It will help in conversions.

I also added a whole section -just for you- in the "sellers misconceptions" that explains this in more detail.

6. Once again, what is new and innovative eludes you. Why does this not surprise me? Our new and innovative technology manages text links -even on HTML pages- without requiring FTP access, special access, etc. How many times and different ways can I explain this for you?

7. The email we sent out stated that we plan to develop and offer an option using FTP to manage links (same as competitors) for those that -for whatever reason- cannot use our other, more reliable, more secure, proprietary technology. There has been one (1) case already where this might have been a suitable alternative, and although the FTP method is not as reliable or secure; we believe in providing as many options as possible.

8. Oh, guarantee... you got me. I should shut down and go home now. It is not an explicit guarantee, but if you want to know what was meant by it... fine. We have so many buyers looking to buy that if you have a quality site at a reasonable price, then you are guaranteed to make a sale. If you don't, then I'm sure we can use a link for another one of our own projects.

So, even if someone else doesn't buy, we would. Quality and reasonable are objective terms, so we are not promoting this guarantee -per se'- so I'm not sure why you are clinging to it as if your life depends on proving this point.

9. I figured you would try to twist my comment about Google. And, yes, Google did crush Yahoo in the search arena. Did I say financially? No. Now, Yahoo got wise and got rid of Google for it's search results, so Google was pushed back down. Yes, yes... we can argue this all day, but -unlike you- I prefer not to argue.

10. I never flip-flopped (as you tried to eloquently to make it appear), and I think it is left up to publishers to decide on the capabilities of our individual systems. I never put down LinkWorth, pointed out flaws (which I could), or said your service "sucks". But, I am sure the publishers will make up their own minds about it.

11. I am not out to crush LinkWorth. In fact, I never even gave your site a second thought until you sent your rude email the other day. We have grander goals of earning advertiser budgets and taking market share from the giants like Overture, Google, FastClick, etc.

In the process, we will take market share from places like Text-Link-Ads and TextLinkBrokers as well. It is inevitable when a better system comes along.

So, the "crushing" comment was not directed at LinkWorth. I wish you well with your service as well -in spite of your hateful attitude. In fact, I just emailed another competitor I just found out about with a friendly "hello" email asking them to let me know if they wanted to work together or ever wanted to sell their company.

Their reply was very friendly and polite, and they have bought some links from us and we will do the same for them. That is how honest and forthcoming businesspersons do business -even when it is a competitor.
