So you have both perhaps on your site, also adsense and amazon?
So you have both, then it is so, on case studys i have reading, when you combine them, also amazon or others with adsense, that your visitors always click on adsense not on amazon or your affiliate products.

Why? I can not explain,why this is so, sorry. The case studys does ist not explain too.

with best wishes

I'm not sure why, but those are just the results I have had. Affiliate marketing hasn't worked for me either. Months of well-displayed adds don't work for me, but Adsense does. Test, test, test, and see what works for you. My own physical products has also worked well for me.

No refund so far and worse, but par for the course - no communication whatsoever from John.

Now I see Jim's comment that John is saying he's had some financial setbacks from other ventures, but intends to pay all of us back.

Sorry - but that's not right in my mind, based on John's track record of making false statements and empty promises. John took a lot of money from a lot of people with the promise of products delivered on specified dates. Him saying that he intends to pay people back is yet another hollow statement, in my opinion. He takes money, which I know in at least one case was all the money a single mother had left in this world, doesn't provide the product and either fails to communicate with us or surfaces with yet another product to sell?

I don't know if the mods will delete this post, but as you can see, I am more than upset at being the victim of a man who lacks character and integrity.

I think enough people have shared my experience with this man that it warrants others here on warrior forum to at least know what they are dealing with when they contemplate getting involved with John.

And please, from those who apparently are willing to excuse John's behavior and repeated lapses in judgment and integrity - no responses stating that he's a good guy who just has some problems.

"Good guys" don't take people's money under false promises.

There are two sides to the coin, though:

He was giving people great advice and help, and then someone in the forum decides to sue him for a transaction this person made with someone else on the forum that had nothing to do with him. I do not know where that lawsuit ended up, but that could be the financial setback he was talking about.

I hope he does come through for all of you that he promised a refund for. Because I never purchased his original ebook, all I know is that the information he gave away for free has helped me to earn $400 plus each month with Adsense. He has helped many other people as well. For that, I and many others will always be grateful to him.

Sorry mejohn, but I've got pages of emails with excuses and promises from John about paying me back what he owes me. So far not one dime. He gets no thanks from me for stealing from me.

I guess I might be singing a different tune if I were in your shoes. All I know that what he gave away for free helped me get started in Adsense. I will be buying his new ebook about authority sites.

I still haven't received my refund for the video and Xfacor John has stopped answering any emails about the subject, does anyone else have any more news on this topic please?

[Marine0302]

No refund, despite repeated promises.

I paid for personal coaching and a training video series.

Neither were delivered.

No refund to date, despite repeated promises.

If anyone knows a way to contact the guy, please share this info.

Ditto here.

His last reply by email to me was on Apr 20th in which he wrote:

So instead of giving an exact date of payment, let's just say that I should be in the clear and can send you a check on or before the end of May.

So far nothing. Followed up twice after that. He just stopped replying to mails.

I received this email in August 2011, which related to his new forum, and at the end of that is a postal address

Hi Everyone,

John Here (Xfactor) and I'm happy to finally open up my private
forum to public applications.

I'm currently accepting 50 new members and have put up all
details and pricing (now more than 1/2 off).

Here is the link: Adsense Masters Course Sales Page - forumapplication

No Hype or Sales Page there - just the forum benefits and the kind
of mature members I am looking for.

Best Regards,

John James Robinson

Xfactor Publishing
P.O. Box 7856
San Diego, CA 92167

Thanks khwaja akif, but what has your post got to do with Xfactor John and from my experience the fact that he does not honor his refunds?

Not to be critical of XFactor but it comes from the fact that everyone who claims to have been successful with it either makes a tiny fraction of what he claims is possible, has "moved on" to other methods, or has ranked a fraction of their sites. In most cases, it appears the earnings from this method are not worth the time/effort invested.

In all of the "success" posts I've seen, I've not once seen anyone say they were making $100 per day.

TBH, it's not just specific to his product either. I've seen hundreds of posts from people defending many "strategies" only to end with "but I've moved on to other methods" or "but if scaled up 100x it would be profitable". Well, if a given strategy is so successful, why does a person "move on"???

I believe the principle is sound but in practice, the XFactor is just not cost-effective from a time involved angle.

And I must point out that if the guy was making $300 a day with AdSense, why would he dilute his efforts with support for an ebook and a forum (which requires significantly more effort than pumping out AdSense sites)???

I guess you have to nudge Peter Lee on that, the CTR is still in there...

[mejohn]

Many many months later, and still enjoying the residual income from Adsense, and haven't put any more effort into it.

Thanks XFACTOR!

You guys been hustled, XFactor doesn't exist.

It's similar to "The Rich Jerk" persona, the author created it to sell more products.

His address is just a PO Box, and nobody has every met him in real life.

Smart guy regardless.

[mejohn]

So you're trying to say that John doesn't exist? His principles are what got me started in Adsense. The man behind the XFACTOR name is a great inspiration to many people.

Whats your point?

His e-book is FAR from perfect that if you had followed it to the Tee there's no way you could make a dime online. A lot of people have wasted a lot of time with his method and not make any money, FACT.

Show's you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

I make over $500 a month just from his tactics.

I am a well respected member here at WF and
would not throw away my rep with such a
claim if it were not true.

Jim ><>

[Marine0302]

I have no issues with the material that was taught in the xfactor course.

I only wish I could get a refund for the training videos and personal coaching that simply never materialized after I paid for them.

[mejohn]

I never paid for any of his advice. I just used what he gave away for free, and am quite grateful for it.

and I have made high five figures (not sure why income figure is relevant), not by following his method to the tee, but by adopting to Google's mood swings. and yes, I still believe you can't rank for anything by strictly submitting articles to EZA.

I have a more important question though, where is XFactor now and why isn't he refunding people when he said he would? I thought he said he's doing $800+/day on autopilot.

He was never doing hundreds per day. Why bother with the aggravation of an ebook, forum, and such if you are making that much money on auto-pilot?

I think that those who are successful have an inherant desire to help others be successful. Since I learned the principles that XFACTOR teaches, I have shared them with many friends, and some have gone on to make some good money with them. Helping others succeed is quite fulfilling.

XFACTOR faced all sorts of people suing him, criticizing him, and all round insulting him for just wanting to help people. I don't excuse him for not refunding money where it was promised to people, but am definitely grateful for what he gave away for no charge.

Not when it costs the money they don't. Come on now - don't be so naive. Put yourself in his shoes. If you started making hundreds of dollars per day with some strategy, you are a flat out liar if you are gonna tell me you'd divert your time away from that enterprise to sell some ebook, open a forum, and deal with headaches from customers.

I guess it depends where a person's heart is. Money isn't everything. You only need so much to live well. Any more than that is a bonus & an opportunity to help people.

yer cashing in on the xfactor movements is life changing guys

Has nothing to do with heart. It's common sense and time availability. If he was making hundreds a day with the XFactor method, he wasn't doing it on autopilot. Where would he have the time to manage all the extra "stuff"?

You'd think with earning hundreds of dollars a day, he could afford to issue refunds to folks. He didn't. Why do you think that is???
