I have two website companies I’m working with. The first is Traffic Designs (24hourcashflow.com) and onlinesupplier.com - which is a wholesale warehouse. I have been with both since late July/August. I have not made very much in sales with either. My 24hourcashflow site is called capecodcashflow.com, and the other is mulligansmarketplace.com. I am a beginner at this and am willing to learn as much as I can about affiliate marketing. Can anyone in this forum tell me if my websites look any good and how can I improve on them.
thank you

I used to belong to CJ but have found
Performics to have the most for my fly fishing business. They have implemented some good product generators for Patagonia and Cabela’s. They seem to have a reasonable variety of stores such as Kohls, Sunglass Hut and others.

I also like allposters.com for their content and their easy affiliate code generator including a datastream generator if you know how to integrate one into your site.

I am just wondering about a website from “Onlinesupplier.com” and ask if its a legit bussiness..I have been in this tangled web for about 6 months now and been having doubts.

I HAVE BEEN WITH 24HOUR CASHFLOW FOR 2 MONTHS. I HAVE PURCHASED ALL THE MARKETING TOOLS/SERVICES THAT THEY OFFER. I HAVE NOT SEEN MONEY AT ALL. ALSO I HAVE LINKED WITH SOME AFFILIATES ON COMMISSION JUNCTION, WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS JUST A BIG SCAM.

I signed on with 24 hourcash flow in mid feb.. No progress so far, no referrals at all.. and when i was on the phone with them he mentioned their record with the BBB.. yeah… should of looked first… last week they had 48 complaints, 38 of them in the last 12 months.. today it was at 40 in the last 12 months.. never mind the NETCHECK thing…they have NO registered complaints for this company.. of course they dont…anyone heard of them before? I know I wouldn’t have called them. There is now a link for my website, but “domain it” has no idea its already taken…hmmmm

Quick update… here is the link to the BBB report on
24 hour cash flow, aka money making club, aka, traffic designs which those of you concerned already heard of.

Definitely they are a ripoff. I spent good money on them only to be the loser. The only way to make money
on the internet is with hard work. Build yourself a rreputable site with good content. Don’t expect to make money right away, it takes a minimum of six months.
Never expect to make money with these get rich schemes like 24hourcashflow.com, as they are the only ones who make money. 24hourcashflow sells the newspaper generated webpages the same as everyones and then trafficdesigns.com will sell you useless traffic to them. One good thing with Google they pull them off the regular search, try typing their full url into your browser, it won’t come up. It might come up a week from now, maybe. If you have one of their sites it won’t come up either on the search. Definitely stay away from them as they are only interested in taking your money.

Thanks for the heads up with all the great information on 24 hour cash flow… I will not be doing business with these folks..

Thanks for having your comments here to turn me off on this program before I purchased it.

Sincerely,

Been had before.

I signed on with 24 hourcashflow in June,2006.My understanding is that we too need to advertise because finding a website on the internet is like a needle in a haystack, unless you type the url in. Forget keywords… did you see how many sites it brings up. You are definitely lost there. I have two referals and made about $200.00 so far but I believe it will be some time before I really see a profit…like any business it takes time, hard work, and a positive attitude.So, for now I will keep on advertising my website…which is zone4shopping.com Check it out! Sincerely, Pam

Service providers should set prices for their services carefully, but not daintily. Often, customers are willing to pay to get their problem resolved quickly, especially one that threatens to cause other problems.

Of course, some Networks are providing help and services….but some..my God!!!! God should save us…believing for some more good networks.

I have been with 24 hourcashflow since june 2006. I have not seen a penny coming my way yet. I am having doubts about this company. I chose the silver package for this reason. I did’nt want to spend to much money just to be disappointed. That’s why I started with the smallest package and least expensive. I lost 149 dollars on this program. I will be calling next week to counsel them.

They also have been expecting electronic greeting cards from friends and family. Malicious spammers have been able to exploit this expectation by designing Trojan horses that can fool unsuspecting users.

Please STAY FAR AWAY from 24 HOUR CASHFLOW . They are nothing but a bunch of schemers who will grab your money and do absolutely nothing but tell a lot of lies and false promises. I was tied up with them for a year and lost over $700 with them. They should be investigated and run out of town. The worst thing is they are the same bunch operating the same business just effecting a name change, still and allowed to keep going so be careful where you invest your savings. THere are bad people out there with little or no conscience.

I have been in 24hourcashflow for 1 1/2 years now and have made $2,050.00
Hey not bad. But I put in $2,400.00.
I have not made one penny on the webpage yet.I have put hundreds of ads every where.(it does not work!!) You get 10% of what they sell for you. SO they made $20,500.00 off of my money. I know I will get my money back this year some time, but it will take a lot of work.

Comment by Rusty | March 24th, 2007 11:58 am | Permalink

Hey Rusty,
If you placed hundreds of ads everywhere on your own, you did all the work. When are they going to kick in and put your site on the main stream? I am doing business with them too, but at this point I am very discourage with their performance.It seems to me that the traffic that they send my way is limited to the url that they will profit from only.Therfore, no one is really seeing your main page,just the page that has the form to submit requesting information on starting a homebase business… which you advertised for them.
Are you advertising your main url homepage or are you advertising the link to requesting more info on the home base business? The way I see it is you paid them hundreds of dollars to advertise that side of the business. So, concentrate on advertising your main page which will bring traffic to your affiliate links. Which maybe will give you the opportunity to earn more.
My site is zone4shopping.com ( what’s yours?)

Sincerely, Parmalee

I DID put hunders of ads.Realy!!
Yes you do have to do a LOT of work. And if you don’t they tell you that is why it is not working.
I put in the web address and it goes to the web page. How ever no one goes to it or stays on it long enough to buy any thing. They are giving me free eblastes because I gave them Holy Hell. But they did over 150,000 eblastes and 10,000 people to my site and I only got 39 people to sing up and it was for a small amount each. They said ( after you sing up ) that the Web page is not your main income but the referrals. They also do ALL the eblasting up front and then you have to look for other ways to advertise. They Will call you back and ask for more money.

Comment by Rusty | March 24th, 2007 3:39 pm | Permalink

Rusty,
Remember when you first signed up, they had you look at another members website as an example of how yours would look like. Could this be the traffic that they are sending our way??? because 39 people out of 10,000 is unbelievable. If that is the case, than they would be on our site for a few seconds only.
I checked out your site! Do you know that they passed a law that gambling on the internet was illegal? I refused to have it on my site… I don’t want anyone to come knocking on my door.
Yes, the percentage is more from referrals but how often are they going to sign up someone under you? Where as affiliate links are less but you have a chance of more volume intake. Thanks, Parmalee

Comment by Parmalee | March 24th, 2007 8:31 pm | Permalink

Well like I said no one stays at the site, and the people that signed up did it on the e-blastes. So it is 39 out of 150,000 and 2 of them cancelled. That’s REAL BAD. I didn’t know that about the gambling. (Thank YOU)No wonder they keep saying they can replace the gabbling with some thing else. This is how they get you. They tell you how mush you can make just with the gabbling. That’s what I get for trying to get ahead a little. I am cutting my own throat buy putting they down because I only need $750.00 more to break even. And here I am telling every one NOT to do it.

Comment by Rusty | March 24th, 2007 10:27 pm | Permalink

If you are a member with Traffic Designs (24hourcashflow.com)I would like your input? A simple feedback like, “making a profit” or “my losses are their gain” will do.

I have been associated with them for a year now, this feedback will help me decide if I will continue or move on. At this point, my losses are their gain.

Like they say… Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!

Thank you,

Hey Parmalee
I would put a lot of pressure on them. I laid into the owner JIM at jimi@trafficdesigns.com and they are giving me free advertisement.(2,500 free eblstes a month. But even that is not working any more) I am not making a profit but have made more that I would have had I walked away. Everyone that is involved in this SHOULD make their lives miserable like they did ours. Hey they took our money with false hope, and now make them pay! Email daily, call and complain to JIM . The more they hear that people are upset then it ties there time up. DON”T let them get away with it.
Rusty

Rusty,
It sounded like a great plan until I read the complaints on them at Ripoff Report.com site. It now looks like a loss cause… some people have no conscious, they just avoid you until you give up. I guess this is another lesson in life… will I ever learn!! haha
Thanks for your input.

Comment by Parmalee | May 16th, 2007 10:39 pm | Permalink

Hey Parmalee
I just got off the phone with Jim and I would email him and in a nice way tell him what is bothering you. I said some things I should not have because they are really trying to help me. They will help if you ask. I did find out that the guy that does RIP OFF is NOT legit and is asking for money from companies to stop writing bad stuff about ham. And some of the bad things you hear are going from people that are trying to sell you their stuff. I know I am not getting offers from people that bad-mouthed traffic designs. Now they want me to join they. This is what hey do. Hey get you mad at some company then tell you get it with me and you will be OK.
24hourcashflow to there credit Has helped me and is there for me. So don’t walk away. Ask Jim for help. jimi@trafficdesigns.com tell him I said to call or email him. But be nice.
Rusty

Rusty,
Thanks for the words of encouragement. It’s so hard to believe it can work for you, when you read so many negative comments.
We need more people like you, who are honest, helpful and caring.
Bless you!

I still firmly beleive these cats are nothing short of a bunch of rip-off artists who will give you positivly no value for your money. They should be shut down permanently. Buyer beware! Save your money. It is not worth the time or effort!

Comment by Brenda | June 1st, 2007 7:52 am | Permalink

Hey I didn’t say I was making a lot of money. But At lest they are trying to make it work. It is not going strong but if I hang it there and let them do what they are doing, I’ll make a little money. You should talk to Jim and see what he will do. Also A lot of what you are hearing is other people (I know I get offers from them ALL the time) tiring to sell you what they have by putting down what you have. Some have never even been in 24hourcashflow.Don’t get me wrong, I’m not thrilled to death—But they are still there and helping.And all you have to do is ask Jim what he will do for you.

Among these important things there’s one thing which is been negleted by many of peoples which is the rest engiens.I will say that don’t neglect all the other engines listed on the page. Be sure that your website is constructed well, with good meta tags, keyword density and relevant content. It’s well worth all the effort! http://www.penisenlargementc.com

My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com
