Sorry to kind of crap your thread, but the search results for "unlimited templates" are actually 450, not 272k.Search results without quotes don't mean anything.

**SlashRoot.Com** · 08-23-2003, 07:08 AM

I have stated the search results accurately. There are no misrepresentations in what I have stated.

I believe the search results are quite meaningful considering the broad spectrum of template-types/applications this name applies to. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Stating opinions in someone's sales thread is inappropriate though. Please refrain from doing so.

You are welcome to PM me if you want to discuss this further.

On a lighter note, I want to thank you for your interest in mentoring me.

I am also interested in learning Spanish, Flying, Scuba Diving, and Rock Climbing. Any volunteers? Please PM me even if you just want to adopt me.

Have a great day, everyone!

**Gumby** · 08-23-2003, 08:23 AM

beatz stated a fact, not an opinion

**beatz** · 08-23-2003, 08:34 AM

Exactly.

I didn't say you quoted those numbers on purpose to mislead someone - but nevertheless those numbers are misleading to newbies.

To show you what i mean:

Google results for "orange templates" without quotes:145,000
Google results for "fruits templates" without quotes: 12,900

Do those numbers mean anything in regards of domains like orangetemplates.com or fruitstemplates.com ?

No, because you will always get high google results for basically any word combo as long as the search is done without quotes.

Fact.

**SlashRoot.Com** · 08-23-2003, 08:34 AM

Thank you for your enlightening comments in my sales thread.
Greatly appreciated.

Are these kinds of tutorials appropriate in someone's sales threads?

**beatz** · 08-23-2003, 08:46 AM

You see i once made the same mistake with marketleap numbers for a name and namepopper hinted me on it in my sales thread and i got very upset about it - but i have to say he was right.

This is a community and one way to help each other (including the newbies) is pointing out potential misleading things.

So again, your above google numers give the impression the term "unlimited templates" (with quotes) has thousands of search results when in fact thats not the case.

Anyway, i will stop my tutorial now in hopes that you update your initial post.

**SlashRoot.Com** · 08-23-2003, 08:49 AM

You have already peppered my sales thread with your "wisdom", so its time to move on.

**beatz** · 08-23-2003, 08:51 AM

And you haven't yet updated your initial post.

**SlashRoot.Com** · 08-23-2003, 09:34 AM

To put it mildly, beatz, you have no business asking me to modify my posts one way or other. This is bordering on harrassment.

You have stated your position here (even though it does NOT belong in my sales thread) and I have stated mine. You need to move on. Take a deep breath, walk outside, do a random act of kindness in stead of continuing to crap on your fellow domainer's sales thread here at DNF.

Several posts ago I politely asked you to stop making non-sales related comments in my sales thread and invited you to continue any additional discussion by PM. You did not care to do so. That is not nice.

I am not new in business world, have been at it for quite some time actually. However, I am still discoverying DNF, and I am getting mixed signals. Generally speaking it does seem like a good community that includes many good knowledgeable, experienced professionals. I have had some transactions here, and every single one of my trasactions with fellow domainers here at DNF has been an up and up transaction. It has been (mostly) a pleasent experience being here thusfar. However, if these kind of nit-picking harrassment continues unabated, DNF would soon turn into "post your sales here so that others can relentlessly harrass you" forum. It would serve nobody.

Think about it for a moment the next time you have an urge to "help" others by peppering their sales threads with your uncalled-for analysis. There is place and time for all such analysis. Someone's 48hr. aution thread is not where it belongs.

**NameGuy** · 08-23-2003, 09:42 AM

Both points made. Lets move on with the sale.

Buyer should always verify any and all claims made for a sale.
