$100 a page?

[brandon813]

That's correct. $100 per page with

1. At least 1 year of use (based on final sale)
2. Unlimited Updates to your Page
3. Unlimited image uploads
4. Permanent text-link on this site
5. Manage full-page including title/meta
6. View live page stats
7. View and rate other pages
8. Chance to win monthly prizes
9. Chance to win the website

Is there any way I can help you more?

[brandon813]

Here's some basic information I left out.

Commission structure: 10%
Return cookies: 120 days
100% parasite FREE
Dedicated affiliate support at affiliates@10kpages.com

[brandon813]

To get the ball rolling, I'll offer 20% to the first 10 affiliates to signup.

[nakedgamer]

So people are paying for $100 for ONE page using a subdomain. Which they could get a shared hosting account for 3 YEARS and have multiple domains and sites for the same price.

Your offer is just a variation of the Million Dollar home page, but instead of pixels space you are selling whole pages? You are just trying to make the million $100 at a time rather than $1 at a time.

I am sure people will just be JUMPING on this offer. :)

[brandon813]

I figure it can't hurt to try... ;)

[Haiko de Poel, Jr.]

Mod discussion in the three posts above, sorry for that :)

[Eathan]

Okay, first, I have to say I have no problem with a gimmicky ideas like this. They have good potential for getting press (if you actively promote the thing) and can take off. On the other hand, there are a couple problems.

First, I don't like the idea of including a Paypal address in the link. How hard would it be for a harvester to crawl for any HREFs pointing to 10kpages.com and grab up the emails for phishing scams?

Second, you can't say 100% parasite free. That's just not true. The program sounds like it's open to anyone, including those pesky BHOs that sit in the background looking at outbound GET requests. The BHO sees a GET request for any "http://www.10kpages.com/?a=" and immediately makes the browser send another GET request replacing [your paypal email address] with [their paypal email address]. The visitor sees a minor hiccup as the page reloads itself, but the second request overwrites the cookie from the first and POOF! the parasite wins again.

I'm not trying to be overly critical here. I like the off the wall gimmick stuff sometimes, but I think you have a couple holes to fill. Also, how are you planning to address the IRS?

[brandon813]

Hi Ethan!

Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. The last thing I want is for this to seem fishy. I was hoping to make it overly simple and instead I made it a little risky. At any rate, that hole is sealed up now. The affiliate signup for is now located here: http://www.10kpages.com/modules/affiliates/signup.aspx.

1. All traffic being submitted to the website will be done with an encrypted affiliate id so there is absolutely NO use of the PayPal email address anywhere in URLs.

2. After the cookie is set, it can't be reset. If a cookie exists will remain in place for 120 days and it won't be overwritten. The credit will always go to the first referrer.

I'm open to any other suggestions too.

A reminder! The first 10 affiliates get 20% commission for life! (or until all pages are sold).

As far as your IRS concern... I have a corporation established, I'll be fine... minus taxes. ;)

[Eathan]

Sounds like you're taking some of the right steps. I'm personally bogged down at the moment and don't have time to promote much of anything new, but I'm glad you filled those initial holes.

As for the IRS question, it was more about having potentially 100s if not 1000s of affiliates from all over the world. The IRS wants a tax ID or witholding for all of them that make over some amount I forget. Had it just been straight Paypal you couldn't collect W-9s or whatever, and your corp would've been stuck paying taxes on everything paid out. Just a thought.

Anyhoo, good luck with it. Best get back to this code nightmare...

[brandon813]

Still no takers yet. All 10 spots for 20% commission are open. Remember that we are offering DAILY payout via PayPal.

[Trust]

Brandon. No one is going to pay $100 for a page. That's just reality. The gimmick wore out already. I'm all for trying to things and making money on the internet but I'll check that site months from now and it'll still be 9999* left.

*There's might be a few out there :)

[brandon813]

Haha! Thanks for the input.

[Haiko de Poel, Jr.]

A for effort and A+ for design and useability, but it looks like it's a dud spud. http://forum.abestweb.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[xiaozha]

999 left
10% commission
one page $100
-_-!

[Mr. Sal]

I don't know http://abestweb.com/smilies/IDunno.gif, but all I know is that eventually someone will buy the first page one of these days just for the heck of it, and once one do it, others will follow too.

I don't know brandon813 or anything about the 10kpages site, so I am not directly promoting it http://abestweb.com/smilies/nono.gif, but I think that by the end of the year, brandon813 might be bragging http://abestweb.com/smilies/ecomcity.gif about how many $100 a page he has sold so far.

Some say that there is a sucker born every minute, but it's also true that even a simple http://abestweb.com/smilies/idea.gif idea can make you a lot of money a day, so only time will tell, if the 10kpages $100 a page site is a http://abestweb.com/smilies/pirate.gif scam, or if it's for real all that they say.

I know that to be one the first few people to pay $100 a page to a total stranger, in order to find out if they are going to do what they say they will do, or just keep the money and run, is a http://abestweb.com/smilies/shocking.gif risk that not many will consider doing, but again, what if?

What if? If you get duped out of $100? http://abestweb.com/smilies/lollipop.gif

What if? If they are for real and they do what they say? http://abestweb.com/smilies/what.gif

What if? If you risk $100 and no one find your page on the SE's? http://abestweb.com/smilies/captain.gif

What if? If you risk $100 and you get lucky, and just by the free http://abestweb.com/smilies/reporter.gif publicity that you might get, you get more than the $100 back? http://abestweb.com/smilies/TY.gif

What if? If someone discover something nasty in time, about the 10kpages.com idea? http://abestweb.com/smilies/yikes.gif -----> http://abestweb.com/smilies/chased.gif

What if? If this post alone will encourage some people to be the first to take the $100 risk? http://abestweb.com/smilies/IDunno.gif

Well, if that happens.......... http://abestweb.com/smilies/up2something.gif

What if? If brandon813 award :trophy: me a free page on the 10kpages site for this un-bias commentary? :rotflol:



:rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:

[brandon813]

How about this... the first 25 pages are free. If you have a good idea for a page or you've got a good site you'd like to promote, let me know, I'll give you a free page.

Maybe with a few freebies in there the ball will get rolling. Who knows.

If the first 25 go fast, maybe I'll make it 50!

[brandon813]

Three pages were sold yesterday and $60 was paid out in commission! Maybe it's a dud but maybe this is really going to work...

If you can generate traffic for something like this, I bet it will pay off big time. Remember that there's 20% commission for the first affiliates to join.

Keep the input coming, guys. I appreciate the help so far.

[missdonna]

email sent. I'll take a free one, please.

Thanks.

[missdonna]

And PS email sent too.

I've signed up as an affiliate. Your banner code still includes the email address. But the plain code supplied doesn't. I'll wait to promote you until that's cleared up.

Thanks.

[brandon813]

1 page given away to missdonna!

1 page sold yesterday and $20 in commission paid.

I really really trust those of you who don't think this site will work. You are all obviously veterans to ABW and to other affiliate programs. However, those who are willing to take a risk with me on this may have great success.

There's still 9 spots for affiliates who want to make 20%!

Mr. Sal!! Do you want a free page? Let me know.

[missdonna]

I have my page up. Come and see it and feel free to vote for it.

One Square Inch -- Closeup Studies of Mother Nature's best work:
http://5.10kpages.com/

But allow lots and lots of time for the page to load. I put on one image that was about 14kb and 5 that were around 180kb, and there's a problem somewhere that changed my 14kb image to 56kb. I don't even want to think about what it did to my large ones. Somehow they got transformed from .jpg to .bmp in the uploading.

I remain dubious about this project, but it could actually work. Who knows. Gotta give him credit for trying.

[Trust]

Selling 10,000 pages at $100 would have gotten you 1 million.

I think it's very hard since this isn't a new idea and has been done to death and for a lot cheaper than $100 a page. For that amount, I would want some high traffic to the site or some nice PR/for SEO purposes. For $100 I would want something out of it than just another page on the internet. People get into these types of sites in the hopes of extra traffic or some sort of SEO benefit.

Here's a thought. 10,000 pages. Give 9,000 away for free (or less). Give them to people likely to link back to your 10K site, get the word out etc. That would help in the SERPS, natural viral marketing etc. Then try selling the last 1000 pages at $100 a pop. It would be easier at that point since people will see 9000/10000 sold and if people link to it, at the time you sell the remaining 1000, maybe it will have some nice PR showing, will have some kind of nice rankings in the search engines etc. which will help in the sale.

1000 x $100 = $100,000 and a better chance of what's happening now. Now I still think it's a very hard thing to pull off based on some of the reasons already given but you at least give yourself a better chance at making some money.

[Mr. Sal]

Here's a thought. 10,000 pages. Give 9,000 away for free (or less).
http://abestweb.com/smilies/horsehockey.gif

Here's a better thought! (But I don't agree on that idea anyway.)

Give the 9,000 away for at least $1.oo, and at least you would have made $9,000.00 for your time and effort, plus the convenience of those 9,000 getting included on your 10kpages.com idea.

BTW, you say: "Give 9,000 away for free (or less)"

WHT is less than FREE? http://abestweb.com/smilies/what.gif
