Another eBay auction, not sure about this one...

The screen shots from adSense show over $9,000 a month... yet it is going for under $1,000...

When you look it up on alexa it has virtually no traffic, I know StatBrain is not the most reliable source for traffic rankings but it only shows about 22 visitors a day...

I am not saying this is a scam, but...

There's something strange about the Adsense screenshot....
Isn't it missing a few lines??
In mine it says "Earnings...." and "Payment..." every second line, and I can't find any way to display the "Earnings..." lines only...???

 

[ThreeD]

That means if you just get 40-50 visitors to come each day (which is very easily attainable), you should make about $3,000 dollars a month!

right, and they're selling it for a couple of thousand on ebay? Something just ain't right here, they claim the clicks pay everything between $5-$50 PER CLICK..and the website ain't all that either. I would stay away from this one..

however, does anyone know what the program in the screenshot is called?

 

[tipsfromthetop]

doesnt look right to me, be careful with this one

 

[Redleg]

Just noticed this line over the Adsense screenshot....

..::: What are we making money on a Similar Website :::..



So the screenshot is not for that site at all..... :]

The $9,000 figures are NOT for the site you are seeing advertised. It says "What we are making in a SIMILAR web site".

So what are the rules?

on eBay concerning this sort of thing? If I sell you a car and I say it has 10,000 miles and then you get it and it has 100,000 miles I am pretty sure you can take action... after all you have the car and the odometer...

But if I sell you a domain and I say it makes me $x,xxx a month and it only makes you $x a month then what can you do?

I assume you can report them to eBay but how would you prove it? and how can you dispute their "proof" of earnings...

I would love to buy a site that has even 1/4 of the earnings they say they get, but I am not sure eBay is the way to go...

If anyone has ever been scammed on ebay from buying a site like that it would be cool to know about it, if they are not too embarassed to tell us anyway...

You guys, its just a brand new website selling...and they get you by saying look what we've done at another site and show a screenshot.. But they dont tell the site

Really you get the site and content and its up to you to try and make that much!

 

[tipsfromthetop]

Yep total con.. done my research, first thing i noticed was that is nothing like a adsense report screen. Might want to drop the chap bidding an email he obviously didnt read it right. Also Ebay should be warned of this scam.

anyone could fabricate that by just registering a new name and coming up with all that saleman speel..

ohh...

I see... I guess it isn't "false advertising" just "crafty marketing" ???

 

[Gene]

Well that's just it -- nowhere do they say you will make a specific amount of money. They just talk about the 'potential'.

So a better analogy is if someone sells you a car saying it can get to 100,000 miles, even though it currently has none.

But don't get me wrong -- this a a very deceptive ad and Ebay SHOULD be notified.

I dont get it alexa show these results

Traffic Rank for theseoinfo.com: 4,070,773

but my search says theseoinfo or theseoinfo.com has not been searched for in the past 4 weeks??

This seller recently sold a similar site for far less than the current high bid on this domain. The Listing , it appears these develop using bargain templates and php scripts, along with average domain names, at best, have provided nice dividends for this eByer.

The first thing I noticed is also the sentence:
"..::: What are we making money on a Similar Website :::.."
Very similiar to the people who look like they are selling a unit of DVD player for $0.01, when in fact they are merely selling the information on where to get them for $0.01.. potentially.

YEah seems a little bit sketch to me. Im not sure why they would have bought the name for $50,000 and now set the reserve for so little.

 

[tipsfromthetop]

sales trickery like this is appalling these type of sellers are the types you here knock on old peoples homes and use clever words to get them to buy stuff they do not need like insurance and timeshares.

Ebay should really shut these type of syndicates down. Yes the $0.01 auctions are common too people selling the link to a site where a wholsaler is. all rubbish.

it is sad in my opinion.

haha this guy rocks, I hope he makes alot of $$ from the sale

Why do you say that Nick?

The words that they are going after are high paying words- and they are words that wont fade away... but still anyone could make a site like theirs. IF its making so much money, why sell it?
