Hi All

Do Goldkey respond to emails anymore?

I was using them and really liked the service for the past 12 months or so but I noticed about 8 weeks ago the revenue went WAY down and the arbitrage was not really profitable - so pulled my domains out.

The day after I pulled them out, my account went under review and I could not login. As I know their system was fully automated, I presumed pulling them all out caused the traffic to go from a nice constant traffic stream each day (like it had been for a long time) to zero hits - and this may have triggered the system and caused it to accidentally be stopped.

But zero response from them after over 15 emails - what is going on?

Traffic is not an issue - arbitrage is standard practice and I only use Yahoo approved partners for traffic (which in their marketing email last week was point number 6 - "buy traffic from quality sites") - which brings me onto a different question.

One of the sites I used for arbitrage was Clicksor - only using the yesup network for ads (not the whole network stuff so traffic was good)............now I cannot market these domains at GK and I have some ad budget locked in my Clicksor account.

Can I sell or 'lease out' my clicksor account to someone as it's still got about $4k of ad budget in there? I may as well get this money back (or as much as I can) seeing as its there and unused............is this against all Clicksor terms or is it perfectly normal to do this?

Hope someone can help - its an odd query!

Yes they were bought up by Namemedia (I think) but Brian Carr - the old owner is still there I believe.

I have emailed Brian direct, and Scott too with no reply - on numerous occasions. I notice all those accounts on the aforementioned thread were done on the 6th Feb - I think mine was done in Jan.

It's real unprofessional, and they are holding my money whilst hiding behind their computers. Do these people have any balls at all?

I don't know dude. When I first tried GK for a couple of weeks and then canceled they never paid whatever monies were in my account. That tells you something.

They were great for so long though - real fast payments, and great reporting. Its annoying as they were my company of choice - the rest take so long to get payment, and when you spend several thousand a month on arbitrage its good for cashflow.

It just seems they got bought out by the deaf and blind society. Just like all other big companies who think they are above the law.
