Vincent Craine - I agree 100%. That's why I only market and promote my own stuff. :)

Hey Rick.. I think that's what makes it difficult. I think slow clicks and low opt in rate can be my fault - because I write the copy and create the landing page. I agree you should not give negative feedback for not getting a sale - that's silly.

I was just pointing out that out of hundreds of reviews, people aren't talking about sales, there not talking about response rate. My average conversion rate is 40% on a long form squeeze page. But I don't care about the opt in, I care what happens after they opt in.

I actually don't have an immediate upsell in my funnel and make a between 2 and 3% sales in 7 day period.

In my case, it's very easy to see funny traffic. Because my traffic goes to a membership website, there is no oto, they go to a thank you page and then to the members area.

Most people put up a barrier to their promised content - I give it to them right away. On average a new member will look at 7 pages immediately. Bouncing around in the membership area watching videos, clicking around on stuff ( This is an average of over 10k clicks).

However, I've had a couple of solos here where I get 100 or 200 optins, not clicks and 99% of the leads stop at the members dashboard and never review any content.

That is low quality traffic to me... it's not a big deal to me to spend $200 bucks and have this happen. But I remember when i was starting out and $200 bucks was all I had.

I think some of these unscrupulous sellers not only hurt the buyer, but they hurt quality sellers too. And if sellers start giving better more descriptive feedback - not saying negative. The quality sellers will rise to the top and be rewarded as they should.

I was wondering what you all think(sellers and buyers.) When is it appropriate to give a seller negative feedback? And a buyer negative feedback.

I'm struggling with this - because I want to be fair and always give the seller the benefit of the doubt.

But in order to make this a great community for buyers and sellers there has to be a balance.

I see sellers with hundreds of positive reviews - but a closer look shows in all those reviews, not one person made a single sale. How can you send thousands of clicks and not deliver sales?

I see people leaving positive feedback like, " I had 5 opt ins on 100 clicks, thanks." What!?

I haven't left negative feedback for anyone - but feel like I could have on at least 5 of the sellers.

I try to be honest in the review and descriptive, but when it okay to say, " I track all my $h!@ been doing this for 7 years and the traffic was horrible - even though seller delivered all the clicks."

I think we are missing the point. Abul tried to communicate with the seller, but heard nothing. I think most of this could have been avoided with communication from the seller. I have bought a lot of solos here and maybe 3% of sellers actually communicate with you unless requesting positive feedback.

So I've been running a little experiment here on Udimi...

I've been building a new list soley off of Solo Ads bought here - some have been pretty good and others, ummm not so much.

However, I've had multiple people respond to my AR's, "I don't know how I got on your list, but I'm glad I am...." What? How does that happen?

Anyways, I've been buying newsletter and solo email ads off and on for 5 years and stopped buying solos on Safe-swaps a couple of years ago, because the quality was so bad. And people were clearly sending all sorts of garbage to landing pages - just for the click.

Has much changed in the solo ad business, is that the case here on Udimi? When I first started buying solo ads, the quality was top notch and the customer service was as well.

Solo sellers cared about your opt in rate and how many sales you received, not just about how many clicks they sent.

I don't want clicks that are redirected or rotated through general copy. That's not a solo ad.
