I am glad to be here and back in action, its 2010 and time to win! BP is the hottest thing since sliced bread
ReplyDeleteNo surprise you are doing well. As a sales and marketing consultant I recommend your sites all the time. Well thought out and great value.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Love your site! I use it for many of my website will probably try your adult section, ( my new websites are adult related) let`s see good results!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the data for the year 2009. Its very informative. I hope for the new improvement specially in submitting ads.
ReplyDeleteThanks...
I love backpage. Carl you are awesome! I responded to a promotional email and you answered me personally and offered a solution. I have used the "thanks2010" promo code to promote my heating and air conditioning site and it worked beautifully. I will be using backpage again soon to promote my other sites.
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Dave
Back Page has always been one of the places I refer my new distributors too for their marketing. Easy to use, effective and reminders to renew your ads when the time comes. Totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Tom Munson
Why is it that I pay 51.00 for an ad, then its flagged or removed by backpage, I get no explanation, no email and no kind of way to contact backpage about it. Its border line criminal. I even made sure the ad was appropriately placed in the correct section and abides by tos. How does a site plan to be the classified leader with this kind of gangster mentality.
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same complaint as Anthony. I posted an ad and paid to have it re-posted 7 times (once a week). Well, my listing didn't even last one week and I have no idea why. I've e-mailed your so-called customer support several times and have heard NOTHING! Pay me my money for the 6 posts that I didn't receive.....or at the very least, tell me why my listing was removed!
ReplyDeleteI was referred to Backpage by friends of mine in Oregon who just happen to be web markeing mavens and tell you what; I'm happy to be in the company of such great success. I wish you and the staff all the best and that you continue to thrive. Ciao!
ReplyDeleteYeah the site optimalization is hard work you must often rewrite code here and there and then check how page perform after update, lot of work esspecialy with site this big.

ReplyDeleteI love using BackPage! I look forward to a new year using BackPage for advertising.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the information of 2009's. Look forward for another great year in 2010.
ReplyDeleteEvery dollar counts and Back Page is bringing in the dough, last year was a pretty good year for us hopefully with your help this year will be even better. Help us make it a good year for friends, family and the communities we live in. Support your local businesses!!
ReplyDeleteI love Backpage.com is so much easier and friendly and affordable and does not shout you out. Craigslist is getting so difficult I am almost afraid to post a business add. Thank you Backpage. com I wish you great success.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for not being so rigid like craigslist is becoming, when craigslist shout you out does not give any explanation or ever return a call or an email nothing nada. Barbara

SEAMS BACKPAGE HAS LOST ALL MORALS FOR A DAMN BUCK!!! TIME FOR THE HOUSE AND SENATE PASS NEW LAWS FOR SCAM OUTFITS LIKE BACKPAGE!!!
ReplyDeleteGhost - if you want to Bit*h about BP (backpage, not British Petroleum - that's a whole different fight), try a little grammar and spell-checking. You look like a freaking idiot.
ReplyDeleteI hear you and I understand your complaint, but at least try to make yourself credible if you are going to criticize . . .
How about clicking "inappropriate content" when you see a bad ad. CL and BP wouldn't be free (or nearly free in some cases) if they had to babysit every ad that got posted.
You saw how long it took CL just to fight off the prostitution on their site . . .
Take it easy Ghost - if you got burned, sorry for your luck, but it's not BP's fault.
I just missed the promo code cut off date!
ReplyDeleteMay i make a recommendation? I think that you have got a little something beneficial in this article. But let's say you supplied a number of links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or possibly you could give us a little something to take a look at, anything that would connect what you're declaring to one thing real? Just a bit of advice.
