LaunchPressRelease Co-Op Domain Aging? Matt Smith, seorulebook.com

**Slowdive** · May 14th, 2012, 5:27 AM

Welcome to the forums Gerry. I usually would not allow an old thread like this to re-opened without a new post that shared some really relevant news, however I feel legitimate sympathy for your plight.
If I understand the issue correctly the domains are not registered in your name? If they are you can of course migrate the ones you perceive as valuable to a register of your choice and take it from there. If they are not in your name and you are are having issues receiving support, then I have to question is pressing on with them is even wise? You could spend a lot of time and effort on domains that could fall through by no fault of your own and its just dangerous business practice.

So where as I have been no help with your actual query, I hope some one can offer assistance and do hope you will join the forums and empower yourself to begin making money through legitimate businesses on-line. Which is not say domain ageing and such cannot be legitimate it in this case, it seems the offer was not entirely so. Feel free to make a welcome thread and share with us what brought you into on-line business, any experiences you have had or anything else for that matter we would love to welcome you.

Hi Slowdive,

Thanks for your response , the domains are registered under my name as I bought them , matt advised a client would buy them afte 45 days but cant get through to him .

I was wondering if anyone else who used the system knows if the traffic re-director works in the control panel.

If I cant redirect the traffic they are getting the websites are pretty much useless , do you recommend I put them all in one pakcage and sell the domains on a business website??

Many thanks
Ger

Well then you do at least have options....
1. you can move them to a host of your choice and redirect them as you see best. This is slightly pricey but depending on the traffic your pulling may or may not be worth it.
2. You can bundle them up and attempt to sell them however, success will depend on the quality of the names.
3. Pick one or two of the better ones and build a website around them, letting the others fall away.

Its all pretty painful and I am sorry for the situation this product appears to have left you in. You may be lucky and there maybe one or two useful domains in the list, so it may not all be a loss.

I would agree with the above points...
I would do the following:

1 - assume that you will not be getting a buyer all lined up for you (unfortunately it is rarely that simple on the internet!)
2 - forget about your previous ideas for how they would bring in money...
3 - sit down with the list of domains and go through them to see how you might make money from them... you need to work out which are worth keeping / which are worth dropping... with 45 domains you only need one or two to be able to sell for a few hundred $$ to make back your money / make a profit - the sector (stock art) is not a bad one online... I would select 6 - 10 of the domains - and sell the others at any price to just get rid of them - find a place to sell them at $5 each / $10 each / etc.
4 - now concentrate on the best 6 - 10 - read this forum from start to finish to understand legitimate / good ways of making money...
5 - try 3 different ways of making the domains commercial - 2-3 domains for each method
6 - if one or 2 work - life is good, you will make your money and be in a good / experienced place for your next steps...

I assume that in having signed up to the original concept you are interested in making money online - this forum is one of the best locations for learning good solid / business based methods of doing exactly that - get stuck in here and you may find that good fortune comes from misfortune - without having done what you did, you may not have found this forum / thread

there will be hard work ahead - but it is redeemable - just don't throw away money / effort on prusuing a dead prospect...

Thanks guys,

The problem is when they are hosted on the launch press release server they get 200-5,000 hits a day , if I redirect them the nameserver changes and zero traffic!! Is there a way of keeping them on the nameserver which brings in the traffic and redirecting them to one of the domains?

The plan was to re-direct them to the best domain and I will put affiliate stock photo search bar and product links to make commision but this is useless if I cant divert the traffic

**Slowdive** · May 14th, 2012, 5:09 PM

How is the nameserv effecting traffic? The only way it could be the server they are hosted on dictating traffic is if the traffic is bought or some how herded. Does this traffic convert? It seems unlikely that it would.
Perhaps I am showing some ignorance here though, I just do not see nameserver can be affecting traffic, not any useful traffic anyway. Perhaps I am about to learn something though.

**akirk** · May 14th, 2012, 5:26 PM

It is very unlikely that the name server is making any difference at all... that is the DNS entry - the address book of the internet - its purpose is simply a human name to IP address conversion system...
while search engines may read them (and will undoubtedly take into account similar ip addresses) the name server itself is very unlikely to be driving any traffic...

anyway - test it, move one...

Perhaps I didnt explain it very well , when you sign up with launch press release matt smith gives you nameservers to age the domains on , when you put a website on the lpr nameserver it gets articles and rss feeds put on it automatically and gets traffic , this traffic could be useless or from the other websites in the network itself Im not sure?

I did a test with godaddy diverting all the websites to a website I own , there was zero extra traffic coming in so the websites are not ranked I presume and were only getting internalt traffic from launch press release?

I was onto a few other web hosting companies that said I could have the websites on the lpr nameserver but still diver the traffic to a website of my choice Im not sure if this is possible?

Man do I wish I found this thread and Forum before I fell into this trap. I bought into this "Partnership" in April 2012. I guess I'm a fool for a decent sales letter. I have has the same issues as I have read about on here. Matt (if that is his real name) will respond to you for the short term and then seems to disappear and you can not get a response from him. I feel like a fool but I guess I now know I'm not alone. I am so sick of getting scammed by people like this. I don't know how they sleep at night. If anyone has advice as to what to do with the 44 domains I have purchased at his direction and that I am supposedly aging on his system...please advise me. I am so happy to have found this forum and I will be visiting it often from this point forward.

Thank you for any considerate replies. I want my money back but I'm sure that will be as hard as getting "Matt Smith" to respond to me.

Welcome, drwu.

Have you read the full thread? There are already suggestions above including some from akirk just a few posts above yours. Have you read it?

Some just hope for a magic bullet while others actually do something about it like learning the ropes, doing a lot of reading, investing a few hours/days educating themselves. If you're sick of getting scammed then lose the quality that makes you most susceptible to scammers and marks you out as a mug. To do that you need to put in some effort not just reading but actually learning and asking intelligent questions along the way.

This thread was started over a year ago and ranks on the first page of Google for many searches relating to seorulebook and launchpressrelease matt smith etc. What research on this did you do before you signed up and paid your money?

I give up! What's the point of running threads like this if the people who most need to see them don't arrive till after they've lost their money!?
