Re:
I've left messages through Google Checkout, through your website, and through regular eMail. I've seen your really bad excuses about not responding in the forums. Don't try them with me. I don't buy it. Refund my money for 5,000 "Quality" visitors or I will shut your poor excuse of a company down.

Re
Seems like this guy burned a few of us, I have contacted google checkout to mediate this , will see what they come up with. Good news I used visa and have talked to them about the situation and if I cant get it resolved they will correct it for me. So if enough people let there credit card companies no whats going on this guy will be forced out of business.

Hi ... as I mentioned, in an earlier, post, I bought from Brian a couple years ago. He was so-so on responsibility-to-customer issues, but eventually delivered what I bought, if oh-so slowly. I noticed someone paid $180 for 25,000. This is outrageous. There are two visitor or campaign categories, in this price range, and from what Brian has on his site, he sells neither. BTW: his prices are way too high, across the board. Look around and you can get the same campaigns for much, much less. Let's see, he over charges, doesn't deliver and tries not to make promised refunds. How does Brian stay in business? Good luck.

Re:
The traffic provided is pure garbage. If you track the IP addresses going to your site you'll notice that it's the same person over and over. I have record of a two day period of the same visitor over 30 times. That is not quality traffic...

Hi Dustinole ... what you describe suggests a run-of-network (RON) category, about the least expensive product available. If so, a campaign of 5000, which is too small a number to do any good, even to your Alexa, retails for $8 or maybe $9; 25,000 of this category retails for about $30. I'm citing the costs from a sales site; on e-Bay the prices are lower. Guess "gouger" gets added to the list of this vendor's adjectives. I never understand such actions, as it's easier, less stressful, to be honest and fair. Ugh!

Re:
The site is called Quality Traffic Supply. That is not quality traffic. Thanks for your input.

Hi Dustinole ... good point about the name. As I may have mentioned, I don't think Brian is a premeditated thief. He strikes me more as a slacker, who finds he can't backtrack fast enough. Take care.

Hi ... can't find the posting to quote, so here it is, "Please refund my paypal payment. You didn't give me any login information three days after paying and the "traffic" you're giving me is coming from some traffic sharing scam in http://67.15.114.75/ads/13442.html in the form of a 10x10 pixel iframe there rather than contextual ads which is no good to me." Go to the url and check the source code. I think I should retract my comment that Brian isn't a premeditated thief. Ugh! Wow! Does he give honest on-line ad suppliers a band name or what. Be wary.

They're also coming from:
http://www.softpopads.com/network3/
I've sent the guy two e-mails asking him to stop sending me the stat skewing, bandwidth wasting, trash traffic and to refund my money but he won't answer.
I'll be filing a dispute in the next few days. Should I point them to this page?

I have talked to our wholesaler about this URL and they have told us that this page is used to track the ads and views to each campaign. This is only a redirect page which the visitors is sent through.
Please PM me your transaction info and a refund will be sent.

I am not familiar with "http://www.softpopads.com/network3/" but it may be one of our suppliers pages. Our supplier advertises contextual ads, not popunders so I don't think this is part of our network.
A refund is on the way.
