Thanks to all for the comments on 1on40. The final outcome is why some of us choose to issue warnings about these types of deals.

Sure, you paid nothing, unless you were suckered into purchasing an ad on their site. But many scammers won’t put as much time and effort into what 1on40 did unless they are going to get some benefit beyond their twisted joy of wasting people’s time and dashing their hopes of success.

Many people freely supplied them valid personal information that can be sold at a nice profit down the road.

Dear Chris,
Further to my comment on 23. March 2008, 20:53
It is now 90 days since I registered at 1on40 using the key words:
“Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Designer, Handmade, Handbags” for my web site (http://www.oztion.com.au/buy/auctions.aspx?type5=upmarket) at Oztion (an Australian eBay type auction site).
I have not made a sale as yet.
Thought you may care to know.

Best wishes,
Clive

I have 100 sites which I submitted in late February/early March so they haven’t delivered on their promise. In the meantime, I have just used blogging & pinging with great effect to get most of them indexed within 1-2 weeks, and some traffic too. I did it in such a way (in groups on different blogs) that I know definitely they were all indexed this way, not by Ion.

I’m now removing my sites from Ion. I have noticed a couple of my sites have been de-indexed which may or may not be from Ion’s involvement. Rather be on the safe side if it’s not too late.

Same old story, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I submitted my site 123 days ago and my site is not to be found on Google or Yahoo. 1on40 is a SCAM. Gordon

I submitted more than 20 sites to 1on40 and login in every week to everyone of them and first one is more than 3 months ago and nothing ABSOLUTELY nothing is happening about that so i guess its a scam to get sure traffic to there own site and sell advertising to those stupid enough to buy advertising on there page

I also submitted my site 2 months ago and so far the ranking in google for a couple of the keywords I submited has come up in the rankings about ten pages. I look forward to any response from people who have submitted their site for 120 days.
