 | A Method I Use To Get Greenshi all. well heres a lil method i use to get greens. one of many methods im trying. but basically all you do is this: goto your local classified website. ie gumtree. clist etc post a item for sale. ie the item on your freebie link. iphone, ps3 or wii whatever. make the ad look legit as if your selling it. all boxed and brand new etc. also undercut the other prices. so you get a good response. then when emails come in asking to buy. you just reply back saying something like: hi thanks for your email, but im sorry the "ITEM KEYWORD" sold right after i placed the advert. however i will show you how i got mine for free. it was very easy. just simply goto "WEBSITE URL OR AFFIL LINK" and follow the intructions. now you can either do 2 things here., either send them direct to your link to the freebie site. or do what i do and send them to a blog already created that also explains more about the process. help them and they will help you  tell them what offer is best etc. thats it and how i get majority of my greens. enjoy!!! |

  | Be careful. This is more than likely the reason I got my host account cancelled was due to posting one advert on gumtree.

 | gumtree users are more likely these days to report you to the freebie company for spamming.

| no they wont. not if u let your ad run its course. ie wait 24hrs or more before u even reply to any emails. trust me this works. and especially if u use a blog or sumthing. i have blogs for every freebie with a lil guide. no probs yet |

I've had the responses telling me that they would report me to my host. A day later my complete website hosting account was cancelled. Co-incidence? I think not.

| It's all a bit sketchy and seems like trickery to be honest. I prefer to be straight with people, tell them directly via Twitter, MSN, Facebook etc to visit my site, read everything it has to say about how the system works etc, encourage them to view the proof and then make an informed decision themselves about whether or not they want to join. Yes, I am slow at getting signups (3 green and 3 pending in 12 days). But I am getting my sign ups and I don't feel like I tricked people into signing up. No offence... |

| I think its a terrible idea personally. People who use sites like Gumtree are more than familiar with spadverts (spam adverts, like it? ) because Gumtree is littered with them, as are other classifieds sites. So when you say that they will know straight away that you never had the item for sale and won't like that you've wasted their time.You will annoy a lot of people doing that and get reported straight away. Personally I would be furious if someone did that to me, but thats just me.

| This one method alone is probably responsible for 3/4 of the complaints I receive here at eXceem. The problem is with everyone doing it people are going to want to put a stop to it, and that will involve reporting it to your host (if applicable), free gift network, your email provider and your isp. There are far better ways to go about getting greens which don't annoy and alienate any potential signups.

| The below is just an example of the 'problem' Yesterday a 'free' Dyson vacuum cleaner was offered on ***. The person offerin it sent me the following email: Hello, Thanks for your interest in my Dyson vacum cleaner, I was quite surprised by the number of responses and I'm sorry but it's just been taken and is going to be collected by someone tonight. You might be interested to know that I received my new Dyson DC19 Vacuum from *** ; I simply signed up and did one of the advertised offers - I chose the coral offer and received my new Vacuum Cleaner from there which is why I decided to spread the good fortune by giving my older one on *** Anyway, if you still want a nice Dyson vacuum cleaner you might want to take a look I went to this site and signed up, only to find that i have to 'refer' 8 other people. So possibly this is a kind of pyramid selling scheme. Now it may be all above board and fine, but it's equally possible that this person DIDN'T have a Dyson to offer but knew that by using *** to post a message, enough people would follow their lead to get them the 8 'referrals' they need to get THEIR free Dyson. If so this is abuse of ***. Modt of these 'offers point to online casino and gambling sites. It's worth investigating if this is a genuine post or a blag. Contact me if you need any further info.

| Pretty dishonest in my opinion. I'd be far more happy legitimately and honestly getting people to sign up. What's the point in lying all the way? Look at the folk on here with MASSES of free gifts, i'm sure they received most by honest methods, not trickery.... |
