Dickheads dickheads and more clixgalore dickheads

October 26, 2008

Great, I got an affiliate account with Clixgalore that earns me millions every day. Actually, it earns me about a buck every 3 or 4 months. Anyhow, I got an email saying “Congrats, you have made a sale for blah blah” so I thought I would log in to the ole clix account and see just how much commission i had earned. It must be up to nearly $20 in total after all these months, well wouldn’t you know it… their dickhead site is broken.

Great, tried to login in and all you get is a “Servers are busy” page, with a “Try again later” message. Okay, I can cop that, everyone has experienced the ole “We are upgrading our servers” bit before on almost any web host site that you could think of. Now a big mob like Clixgalore would be right on the money fixing their server issues as quick as a wink one would think….. NOT. Yep, that’s right, it’s been 3 days now and the dickhead site wont let me access my dashboard.

Really, where do these guys get off, here I am a major affiliate, earning at least $20 bucks a year (I get a cheque every 5 years), and I can access my account to transfer a few million! Sheesh….. the cheek of these buggers. How can they expect to succeed in business when they treat their number one affiliate marketer like this. I have 4 of their banner-ads on my “How to Play Scrabble in 10 Easy Lessons” website, and another half dozen or so on my “How to get rich Quick” website. Bloody dickheads, they need a good linking at www.dialadickhead.com to smarten them up a bit I reckon.

How people can let dickheads like that run a business is beyond me. I mean imagine if your bank offered online banking, and it never worked because the “servers are busy”, how long would one stay loyal to that banking or financial institution eh, eh? You’d be on the phone straight up wouldn’t ya, “hello, is that the bank of I couldn’t give a stuff”? “Hello, Bank of Dickhead, how can I help you?” Yer, wouldn’t ya, you’d go like ACDC or was it Skyhooks with, “Why dontcha all, why dontcha all……”, bloody dickheads.

My two bobs worth.


Web Hosts are dickheads too

October 25, 2008

It’s amazing how any man and his dog can open a $20 buck a month reseller hosting account, whack up a flash website, open a PayPal account, and suddenly be in business as a web hosting service.

Web hosting needs regulating! In Australia, hosts do exactly the same, open a reseller account, and start advertising hosting packages to fools. They piss around with keywords, open a Google Adsense account, run some banners and viola, the money starts to dribble in. That is until something goes wrong with the parent hosts server and the network breaks, and people start demanding refunds!

That is why I now only trust reputable web hosts like auStores eCommerce and Hosting with my web sites. At least they put their mouth where their money is (sic) and if something goes wrong they immediately jump on the wagon, notify everyone, and fix the problem. There is none of this 3 day support ticket bullshit, I think the longest I have ever waited on a ticket was 25 mins for a reply, and the reply was only to confirm the problem had been fixed! Yep no crap, and no bullshit.

The only other mob I can vouch for is AusQ Networks who seem to specialize in websites for the country folk. They are one of the most reliable of web hosting services that look after the rural sector of the community. Me mate is hosted with them, and he likes the hands on, no bullshit approach they offer.

So next time you are googling for a web host, be warned that a lot of the hits you’ll get are nothing more than dickheads offering bullshit with a 1300 Dial-a-Dickhead number to some schoolboys mobile phone. If you need support and you are really lucky and call during school hours, you might just be answered by the dickheads teacher who would have more of an idea on what to do for you.
