Hi evrybody!
I have just signed up the forum because I found this topic...
I am with APS for a couple of weeks and with a little effort I could find a few people to sign up with me at APS and GDI - Some of them left already.
My concern is that is is all promoted as a FREE program. As soon as you come to step 2 of registration - one will find out - it's not FREE at all.
When you then come to step 3 - I said to myself - OK let's try it (30 days free trial) - at least there will be some advertising for me and if it's OK, I will keep going...
The following 2 days I had 4 visits to my page brought to me by Tissa and then credited the $125.00 to me. I was then invited to "learn fishing" as most of you might know.
That's 3-4 weeks ago - NO advertising for me anymore since then!
See the conversation I had with "customer support" - It took more than 166 hours to get response at all...!
Copy of my conversation with ACME People Search:

Message Hello Tissa!
Your advertising through out says that after registering for step3 that you would do the advertising for the People Search Engine - the same I do to my prospects...
I have had 3-4 visits on my first 2 days one week ago!
When will your advertising for my site start again?
What would I pay 29.95 (after 30 days trial) for within step3 if not for the advertising?
I am feeling left alone right now a bit...
Not eveybody is willing to learn fishing - I talk about potential prospects...
Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Remember that the $29.95/month is not for Tissa's free advertising. His free advertising is just that - free. However, when you subscribe, he sends you free PPC traffic from his ad campaigns until you have reached at least $125 in guaranteed commissions (which you have - click on the "Referrals" link above). Once you have reached at least $125 in commissions, he no longer sends you free traffic. That's why it's important for you to click on that "Teach Me How to Fish" link so you can also LEARN how to generate targeted traffic - so you can reach your search engine's FULL income potential.
So what is the $29.95/month for? Your monthly subscription fee includes all of the following:
1) 100% Display Rate for Your Search Engine's Affiliate IDs
Not to be confused with advertising, a 100% Display Rate means that your search engine's affiliate IDs will be displayed to 100% of your visitors. When you're at the 100% Display Rate, visitors to your search engine will always use your affiliate links when they buy from ClickBank, HD Publishing or MyLife. (By comparison, if you're at the 65% Display Rate, your affiliate links will be used by only 65% of visitors to your search engine, reducing your earnings.)
If you cancel your monthly subscription, the Display Rate for your search engine's affiliate IDs will be reduced to 65%.
2) Full Access to Tissa's GDI "Secret" Sign-up Sauce Ingredients
Your monthly subscription also includes full access to the same GDI "ingredients" that Tissa and others use to climb the GDI Bonus Leaderboard week after week. These are powerful techniques that will help you grow your GDI downline and build a residual income stream for yourself. They are available to subscribers only, and are described in more detail when you click on the "GDI" link near the top of this page.
If you cancel your monthly subscription, all three of your GDI sign-up sauce ingredients will be deactivated.
3) Your "Super Affiliate Switch" Available as a Free Bonus
When Tissa's flips the "Super Affiliate Switch" for your search engine account, you can earn $110 commissions every time one of your search engine referrals signs up for hosting under Step 2. This powerful feature is offered by Tissa as a FREE BONUS for Wealthy Affiliate students who have met certain requirements. To learn more about the requirements, click on the "Add/Edit IDs" link near the top of this page.
If you cancel your monthly subscription, your Super Affiliate Switch for your account is automatically flipped to "Off".
Hopefully I helped to clarify the many benefits of your monthly subscription. Remember that your monthly subscription is not for free traffic, but for the three benefits I explained above. Tissa sends you free traffic only until you have reached the guaranteed commissions of at least $125, which you have. To reach your search engine's full income potential, click on the "Teach Me How to Fish" link when you first log into your back office. (You must be at the 100% Display Rate to access that link as well.)
Here to Help,
Trish
I have some online ads running for my Search Engine and will mainly focus on GDI (Global Domain International) because I see much more potential there.
If they increase their services and bring the results they promote - I think it could be an interesting business. Even though it generates quickly competition within a niche market.
Just imagine all the members inflating the same keywords with Adwords...
All the best!

Good day all
I just signed up this week and listened in on one of his webinars today and he touched on a few points brought up in this tread.
The support ticket system is lacking at best. He fessed up to that fact that is is taking, in some cases, 4 days to reply to a ticket (as in my case). For that reason he is soon to launch a forum just for APC. At least that way it shouldn't take so long to get answers. And he was straight up about how he is working on other similar projects at the same time.
I think I understand his mind set here....
I will commend him on being able to create systems that work not only for him, but for those that will follow in his footsteps. He's not here to train anyone. He offers paid and free places to get training like WA where he gets commissions (for the PPC for new members) and the free Google Adwords training videos, even threw out a members Squidoo lens today full of free advertising option.
I am thinking (only because this is my mind set) that he is weeding out those that want to learn bad enough to actually do the work as opposed to those that want the work done for them. After all, people that just sit around and wait for something to happen are dead weight. Once you learn the basics of traffic and getting signups, you can right your own ticket. He's not to picky where you learn from either. The only real requirements is a GDI acct and the 30 bucks a month... and the willingness to learn one way or another.
If you are a member all ready, and you've looked through the back office, you also know that he also has plans to implement a forced matrix.
"Once you have at least six sign-ups on your GDI frontline (Level 1) I will automatically start promoting your frontline's GDI sign-up links so you can start building YOUR Level 2. Once each person on your frontline has at least six sign-ups on their frontline, I will automatically rotate through your Level 2 sign-ups until they each have at least six sign-ups - and so on, up to five layers deep. "
This is part of his "GDI secret sauce" - another part is that he continues to advertise your "capture page" instead of your People Search site.
As stated above - the $30 a month is pretty much just the 100% display rate like entrepreneur says. Yeah, as is - the $30 is questionable, but with the added features it sounds like it would be worth it.
About a year ago I was a member of another GDI downline building group. We were all doing well with spill over, nightly training, direct contact with upline and downline through Skype, etc... Well orginized. Then for some reason the creators of this group just up and disappeared. It was so new and growing so fast it just kinda imploded after that. People panicked and quit left and right.
Tissa has a good track record and is straight forward. I like that. This has all the makings of that previous 'team' effort with a firmer foundation.
I see good things ahead.
