FreeTGen - link building service

Alminc, I joined this service last month so I'm into my second month..

I am at logger heads to continue with the service because I was expecting 15000 links per month...

The way it works is you get the opportunity to post 100 articles per month and place 3 anchor texts in each post... That's 300 links per month... Then you get to place 50 one way link credits ( 1 link credit = 300 links onto the side bar of blogs) times 50 equals 15000.. but you don't get 50 link cedits next month you have to delete your current links and add your new ones so it is not 50 per month you get to place and remove 50 links... So THAT ISN'T 15,000 PER MONTH IS IT. So the statement of 15,000 per month is misleading..

Even more annoying post submissions that weren't used last month, aren't rolled over to the next month...

Running a Backlink check concludes that there is no where near the amount stated..

Backlinks are important, the quality of backlinks are even more important..

I have requested an explanation at this stage my questions aren't being answered..

I'll let you know how I go when requesting a refund..

@Brett
Sorry you were confused by the backlink count (that said we've answered all your tickets, and the process is explained from within your dashboard as well).
You get 50 credits, each one accounting for 300 backlinks during 1 month. So, each month, you get 50x300=15,000 backlinks.

That's it. Not sure what's wrong there. You can claim it's misleading, but that's what it is, so not sure once again, how to make it clearer. You get 15,000 backlinks a month.

In month 1 you generate 15,000 backlinks, and in month 2 you keep 15,000 backlinks (in fact 20% more since you have a 20% bonus in month 2). And so on, so that each month, you have 15,000 backlinks.

Brett, did you mean that your idea was that in month 2 you would get 30,000 backlinks, in month 3, 45,000 backlinks, in month 10:150,000 backlinks?

If so, I am sorry, we never ever mentioned such a thing. Not sure though that can still claim it's misleading when you don't get something that was never offered nor advertised, nor even mentioned in any way...

@Almin: not sure this has anything to do with the thread. That said, the service you purchase is a monthly service and cancelling it right during the first month did not help build the expected backlink structure (other packages were more relevant for this purpose). That said, we can gladly rebuild your package if links are not up to what you expected. But we provided the number of backlinks you bought. That said, backlinks is a dynamic thing and some might not last too long.

As I said, you cancelled on April 5 and never asked for anything, or complained to get anything sorted out. It would have been way faster to ask fro it, instead of waiting for 3 months to start biching here :-)

@capig
We did not release a cumulative text link feature to avoid turning our content network into a pure link network. It would be useless in just a few days. Can you imagine 300 members each publishing 60,000 links in 4 months from now, or 150,000 in 10 months from now.
It would make any of these links completely useless and for sure not worth the monthly price.

Which means, that this process and attached limitation is aimed at protecting our members and the network by keeping the right balance between content (this is a content network), links to our members' web pages, and indexation rate by search engines.

As for your indexation rate: all the web pages onto which you're posting a link are indexed in different search engines. It does not mean your links will get indexed overnight. But they will get indexed at some point. Now, it also depends where the link is pointing to (relevant content, unique content, redirect page...) and we can't control how effective it will be from that point of view.

Following the same logic, there's no roll over: we want to make sure the network is used in an efficient way. We don't want members rushing into the system posting 1000 articles and then leaving. It won't be effective for you. As well, this is the way the system will bring the most results: regular and progressive backlink building.

Finally, we announced 2 weeks ago, that on top of the existing network (around 1200 content websites with these limitations), we are setting up a satellite network with around 1000 extra content blogs (different ones) and it should be ready within a few weeks (of course this network will be free of charge for existing members of FreeTGen).

On this network, people will get unlimited content and text link posting as well as spintax capabilities to spin the posted content. Once again, it was announced a few weeks ago and is in progress.

We are not hiding anything, and we are crystal clear on how FreeTGen works. It could be different, but this is the way we want it, simply because it gets results that way.

That's funny some people are happy they did not join (obviously without the slightest idea why they're so happy) when we have members whose subscription was canceled by Paypal, literally begging us to be able to rejoin :-)

JP

JP, Thanks for taking the time to explain that but it only took this line to sell me your program.. "If you like getting big results (like, 15 000 quality new backlinks a month) for minimal work, you'll love this."

I can't see how I could of miss understood! and I certainly don't have time to create 100 posts per month.. so point me to the refund link..

Brett, the thing is that you only need to create one post per month...and publish it with 1 click on 100 websites within your niche. If you don't have time to do this, then I am wondering why you even considered joining. Of course it takes 3 minutes of your time. But it can't really get simpler than that. If this is too much of your time, simply submit a ticket and we will refund your trial payment.

I suggest you check most of the latest CB and Plimus products to make a few billions overnight without lifting a finger. FreeTGen can't compete with that for sure.

@almin: we're protecting the results members get from the network, you're right.

In June, this network allowed 30,000 new web pages (from our members) to get indexed and receive traffic. Which means members using it for the purpose of getting traffic get results. That's really what matters to us. I am not here to convince anyone, nor to provide support, just to clear confusion. If you like the service, great, if you don't like it, great, if you don't want to join it, great.

Hi JP,

I joined your service more than a month ago and I too was misguided into thinking that we get from 15,100 too 15,300 links per month (taking into consideration both the article links and the site wide links together), but anyway.

In any case there are still several questions that I would like to ask:

1. How long does it take to get the site wide links distributed?
2. Are all 15,100 to 15,300 links built on high PR sites?
3. Do the article links and the site wide links get deleted if one cancels the service?
4. Do you think that posting the same article in 100 different sites will have the same SEO effect as posting 100 different articles on 100 different sites? Similarly do you think that the duplicate articles will get indexed by Google?
5. Does the satellite network with around 1000 extra content blogs (when it will be available) contain high PR blogs?
6. Are the articles submitted to the existing network and satellite network (when it will be available) checked for quality (spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, etc.)?
7. Don't you think that Google will find about the duplicate articles and the poorly written articles (unless they are checked for quality) and start de-indexing the sites in the network/s?

JP, The thing that concerns me is duplicate content pointing at my sites... This can have damaging effects.. Especially now..

I purposely haven't used my subscription this month, until I am satisfied and if I'm not I will be requesting a full refund..

I think rolling over unused posts is not a big ask each month, I'm a little time poor at the moment, because I'm hell busy in what is usually a quiet time for me in my offline business..

Looking forward to your answers to the above post...

However I would like someone else to interpret the following statements...

From the Tgen Members Area

With your subscription you get 100 article credits and 50 site wide text link ad credits per month. If you need more "juice", you can purchase extra credits... simply click HERE.

and the sales pitch that sold me

"If you like getting big results (like, 15 000 quality new backlinks a month) for minimal work, you'll love this."

What am I paying for???

Thank you JP and everybody for commenting. I am also an introductory member at the $79 first month rate. I personally find the system is incredibly easy to use as advertised. I also am time strapped but have been able to use the service easily in the 1 ti 3 hours a day I have available. However, I also thought that the offer of 15,000 links a month meant that each month you are allowed to post 15,000 links.

JP, the offer as stated in the sales material though clear to you was certainly not clear to me and probably not clear to many of the people reading your offer. It was certainly not clear to some of the contributors to this thread. You may want to consider clarifying the sales pitch. 15,000 links a month to me means 15,000 new links per month, not a fixed quota of 15,000 links during any given month.

I know you know what you mean, but the clarity of your understanding on the matter is not shared by all. As for continuing the membership, I'll make that decision based on the results of this trial month. So far, I like what I see, but I'm too new to draw any conclusions about the effectiveness of the system.

FTG ease of use is as simple as it gets but as I had a number of issues with a site dropping in Google, I needed a bit of advice about how to use the credits.

It really is a doddle to use but like others, I also was under the impression you had a new batch of 50 sitewide links each month.

I was also a bit worried about the duplicate content issue but JP put my mind at ease on this side of things with regards to the article links and how many articles to add into the system.

Now I'm going into month 2 and I've needed a bit of follow up support on my established site again but haven't heard anything back - I logged a support ticket about 6 days back on the FTG system but no response as yet.

I also logged a ticket on the Ethic Cash system about the same time and whilst checking the system today for a reply, I'm not getting the same usual help desk setup showing so I'm not sure what is up there ?

So like a Warrior mentioned above, I'm too at loggerheads as to whether to continue, especially with the lack of response from both support desks which for me, is not fair on paying members, especially at the price being charged per month.

Getting support and getting 1-to-1 SEO training are 2 different things. And while we support our service we do not offer individual coaching. Jane, with all due respects, we answered a lot of your questions during a month and then you kept going with either the same questions of general SEO questions which we can't handle through a support desk and which are not part of the service you purchased.

Now Ken was quite patient to remind how to use this board so I won't join this thread anymore. We have a support desk for support questions (related to the service). I understand some might want more, but this is not something we can offer on an individual basis.

Maybe someone else can confirm this..

I've just run a BL check, using Traffic Travis and noticed that most of the BL from freetgen are on 3 or 4 different domains coming from the same three ip addresses, everyone of the sites when checked are down.. (403 forbidden)..

My site that I was looking at was in the first pos. on G now it has been totally removed from the index... (AND I MEAN GONE) so I'm trying to work out why...

Maybe someone could shed some light please...

Thanks for your review capig, i was thinking of using their service, but now..it doesnt seem worth it.

Another warning, JP Schoeffel didn't even honor the 30-day guarantee for the product. I have to do the hassle raising dispute with my bank to get it back. I asked for a refund within the 30-day guarantee period, but no response at all.
