I made the unfortunate decision to buy a few of Pete’s WSO’s. Some of you who cruise the Warrior Forum may have seen some of Pete’s offerings: Extreme Google Pages Bomber, Extreme Live Blog Article Automator, RSS SEO Explosion, GEO Authority Link Explosion and Mass Yahoo Blog 360 Article Generator. I think he spent more time trying to come up with names for this shit than the actual programming of the products.
The idea of these programs seemed to be OK. Take your articles and create blog postings or webpages to populate these authority sites with content and links back to your sites. Links are links. As long as the content linking to my site is similar then I’m fine with it.
These programs were supposed to quickly and easily build some pages and blogs. The ultimate in spam activity…if they actually worked. And, in general, they do not. I thank god that I spent very little on these WSO’s. I got in when the price was relatively cheap and probably spent $50-60 for all of them. Money spent. Lessons learned. I will never buy anything more from this guy again. His programs just do not work. Nor do they keep working. And support? Well if it’s broken, don’t expect an email saying there’s a fix. No, you go to his forum and whine and bitch it’s not working and he’ll PM you a fix, if available. Or suggest you use a simpler title or text. If you can’t simply add a typical article with typical text with a link embedded then what the hell is the point?
So what is wrong with them? They never post the content to the site. The little progress indicator just churns and churns. And this assumes you get that far. They may not even create an account at the site like it’s supposed to. Don’t believe me? Go into the forum and read the frustration from the many buyers. Man, I hate it for those that bought the Master Resale Rights to these products. Can’t imagine the grief they are putting up with from customers who are demanding fixes which they can’t deliver.
I like trying out new stuff. I like new programs. Sometimes they work. Sometimes I buy crap. Hey, you go to the store and buy a CD. Maybe it’s good. Maybe it’s not. You go to a restaurant and buy a meal. Maybe it’s tasty. Maybe it’s dog food. Every purchase is a crapshoot. Well, in this case I’m assisting you in saving your money. Until further notice I cannot recommend you buy these programs.
BTW- I’m well aware of the guy’s family emergency. Truly a tragedy and I hope for the best for those involved. But these problems were occurring well before that happened.

Exact reason I went to Iran Java and pawned everyone of his shitty products for nothing. Someone turning products that fast and for that cheap was an instant red flag to me and your dead on about the quality (or lack there of honestly).

Even the ancient Romans had a “word” for it: caveat emptor… buyer beware! I have gotten to the point where I won’t buy anything related to IM unless I get a money-back guarantee for at least 30 days…
and then I hope that the originator will honor it. Just got this from a dishdosh post:

Just a heads up for those looking to purchase a membership site… stay
clear of Andy’s new site at http://www.membershipsitescript.com the guy is a crook and refuses to give refunds, not only that, but all members sites are directly tied to the owners site, and if his site goes down so does yours!!!! I requested a refund in December and the owner is simply ignoring me and refusing to refund my $97 even though he has a full 30day no questions asked guarantee.
Don’t waste your money, you won’t get it back and be equally disappointed in the hijacked script.
That just goes to show ya…

Hi Splork,
There’s no seo miracle, seo is one of the easiest thing in IM. It’s what I think.
I don’t know why there is such a mystery around seo, but it’s like that.
My affiliate marketing website (the same site with my blog ) is on the first page of Google for the keyword “affiliate marekting” and believe me, I am the laziest seo man. I don’t even know how to do a 301 redirect (and I don’t want to know either).
A big affiliate marketing guru contacted me to work for him… But I don’t work for anyone… except my father, and for free!
Franck the body guard.

I love it! Turn the big guys down. Nice!

More WSO madness from Pete. A Tripod page generator. I would think long and hard before plunging any money into this offering. All his products have issues with not working except the Blogger blog generator. At least for me. No reason to think this will be any different. Buyer beware.

Sad really. A good example of his lack of support is the fact that you will get a couple of emails from him regarding new sales, but never an email regarding an update or a fix for a bug.
Even on his website, people will post a problem and he will seldom answer on the forum but says, “PM’d a fix”. Why pm the fix? Why not post it so others can see it it helps?
He has had some personal issues recently, but that cannot be the only reason for the poor support.
Like others, I have learned my lesson and will be passing on anything he puts out in the future.

His pathetic support occurred well before his personal issues.
