PlunderHere and AlsoShop: A Web of Privacy Violations, Backstabbing, and Deceit

[bargainbloodhound]

a pizza restaurant has been operating in that location for at least 7 1/2 years.

Try at least 12 years (with a few downtimes between owners). Cozzoli's Pizza (Key West Pizza Systems Inc) '97, Sammy's Pizza (Pyramid Pizza) 1997-2000 Coco's 2002-2004...and HINT the "best pal" monkey classified ad Sneaky linked to listed an "O. Ray"...

...O as in Ray, Oliva Aguero not her former sidekick boinktard Ray, Spencer Garrett was listed as the owner of the restaurant

(myfloridalicense lists names in the format LAST FIRST)

on a side note: Regi just lost the bet and now owes me a Pizza  tolensmiley:

on another side note: if anyone's in the mood for rodent droppings and flies then click on the recent inspections link on the Ray license page...47 violations listed :blinkie:

LESSONS IN THE FINE ART OF BULLS.HITTING

We currently have a 99.76% success rate for [Google Product Search]submitted items.

the whole story: 97% of items listed on Plunderhere are NOT included in Google Product Search and the majority of Auxoo/Plunderhere sellers get absolutely no exposure in product search

how come google says no items for you site auxoo.com when i do a search.in google prouducts ?

B/c we are waiting on the name recognition before we fully commit the domain name.

http://www.powersellersunite.com/post-28...tml#285472

translation: Like an idiot I bought a domain name that was banned from Google organic search.  If Google denies my request for reinclusion of auxoo.com in their index we'll be forced to switch back to the Plunderhere name.

The restaurant would have closed the first week if S Ray had been behind the counter.

customer: the sauce is bland, it needs more oregano
Ray: get the boink out of my restaurant and take your propagandistic drivel down the block to Pizza Hut!

The rest of the whole story: virtually every site that submits a feed has a success rate near 99.76% -i.e. Google will return an email saying 9,976 of 10,000 items were inserted (unless they bought a buggy PHP Pro Bid Google Base feed mod from a fisherman...).

I just submitted 4 feeds using free Zen Cart and PrestaShop Google Base feed mods: site 1 99.97% of 8,958 inserted, site 2 99.86% of 1,389 inserted, site 3 99.96% of 2,164 inserted, site 4 99.68% of 3,708 inserted

The reason we haven't submitted all listings is b/c some sellers noted that they have items already listed in Base, either from another e-commerce site or their personal sites. So while it would have been easier to simply list all items matching Googles criteria we listened to our users and broke the feed up by seller so each seller will have control of their feed. As noted this is beta and we are looking for feedback and suggestions as to what sellers may desire for features.

http://www.powersellersunite.com/post-28...tml#285531

How about more reasons not to submit everything:
1. You can't submit all items in the same fashion as past rinky dink Probid "Hacks" allowed. You must now break up the feeds by seller according to Google Merchant Center, not just because the users want it.
2. Google Merchant Center policy: "Posting is not permitted for products that are replicas or imitations of designer goods"
http://www.plunderhere.com/other_items.p..._id=106757 Seller name: Christiansales 
http://www.plunderhere.com/other_items.p..._id=110942
3. Google Merchant Center policy: "Posting is not permitted for unauthorized or "bootleg" copies of media, software, or other licensed or protected material"
http://www.plunderhere.com/other_items.p..._id=103735
http://www.plunderhere.com/other_items.p..._id=106757
4. Google Merchant Center policy: "Items and associated websites may not promote violence or advocate against a protected group."
http://www.plunderhere.com/other_items.p..._id=101233

All of these items encompass 10% of Auxoos listings that would get Auxoo/Plunderher banned from Google Merchant Center. Maybe that's a bit better reason than listing on multiple venues.

either from another e-commerce site or their personal sites

I'm assuming that the reference to "personal sites" in BidWhale's quote refers to the average PHP Pro Bid auction site like AlsoShop or Plunderhere that is spammed on PSU - a site that is owned by an individual not a company...a site whose owner thinks the term 'metrics' refers to the measurement system used in other countries...a site where you can buy an item from a seller in the same state and not pay sales tax...a site where products are sourced from Wal-mart, outlet store sales, Dollar Tree, garages, attics, and dumpsters rather than from wholesalers and manufacturers...a site that doesn't have clearly defined terms of sale, return policies, or privacy policies...a site where the monthly dollar volume of sales is so minuscule that the average participant earns a fraction of what a 16 year old McDonald's counter worker makes in a day...a site where fun, games, and community take precedence over earning a living and paying the bills... :twistedevil:

The slow Summer heat months are over for the residents of ASSville and the loyal followers of Mo's ASs are now suffering through the slow frostbitten fingers months....

5 PM on one of the busiest shopping days of the year and there have only been 9 sales totalling $28 on ASs today???

WTF would anyone from Etsy, Bonanzle, Ecrater, Blujay, AtomicSmall, or iOffer want to import their listings to the ghost town known as AlsoranShop?

95, yeah right, and I'm really a cloistered nun.

Dec 2009
Sold: 435
1089.89

sneaky math: 43.5 sales per day, $109 daily sitewide on ASs /1 sale every 2 days for store owners, $1.40 average daily gross per day for the 77 (down from 86) store owners from 12/1-12/10

I am a silver powerseller on target for gold and I normally make about 30 - 50 sales per day.

sneaky thoughts: a. that relatively small seller makes more sales per day than occur on the entire ASs site b. that relatively small seller's monthly sales are roughly equivalent to 5 months of ASs GMV c. there's no reason for sellers to settle for $1.40 per day

There are 3 types of people in this world ...

1. Those who have it.
2. Those who do not, but will.
3. Those who never had it, and never will.

There will always be those who envy the success of another. The type '3' person. It is they who spend infinite amounts of time attempting to belittle another in an attempt to feel better about themselves, their failures, and their pathetically sad and lonely existence in this world.

Tell your friend to ignore the idiocies and chuckle mightly over those who envy his/her success, and take comfort in knowing that the mean spirited / ill willed losers will always be exactly that.

AlsoShop's puppet and her backer the fisherman fall under #3.  There's nothing more pathetically sad than an unsuccessful loser auction site owner failure who can't do the work to provide their sellers with enough buyers to gross more than $1.40 per day during the busiest week of the year but spends infinite amounts of time yakking on the boards.  Alsoshop never had it, and never will.

Stootsi's November traffic was more than twice the combined total of ASs and Flounderhere ....sad 

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/plunder...ootsi.com/

In November 2008 Flounderhere's traffic narrowly beat Wigix but in November 2009 Wigix had 50X more traffic than Flounderhere.....even sadder 

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/plunder...wigix.com/


EDIT
The epitome of sadness.....when probidv6mods and the overnight sites fill 3 of your top 5 referral slots

Top Referral Sites (21 Sites):

    * google.com,
    * yahoo.com,
    * probidv6mods.com,
    * overnightvoice.com,
    * overnightauctions.net

Interesting: ASs receives 3.29% of its referred visitors from probugv6mods and 3.98% of ASs visitors visit propagandisticv6mods.

I chuckled over that little statement as I totalled my sales yesterdayof more than the total aSs sales yesterday. And I am considered by many to be a "hobby" seller now, just a few thousand monthly, which is more than any seller on aSs will sell all year.
On PSU, this is considered greed, lies, and propagandistic drivel to make that much without using a BinaryWebs "HACK" site.
PSU needs to be renamed PHPProBid rinky dink lovers united.
