So what is my hidden agenda? To blog my opinions and experience as a soloprenuer and web analyst?

Hi getpaidtobreathe,

if you post multiple comments from the same IP, the comment system not me personally moderates to minimize comment flooding. Your comments have not been moderated, it just takes time to show. In all your ramblings, there were no facts. I call it get rich quick/easy because that is how it is marketed by advocates such as yourself. While the average Joe MAY make some money, it's not a sustainable business model. It's better in the longrun to learn an online expertise.

You should take your own advice as I talked to the woman who gave me the flyer and I know the guy who put together the Facebook event. They were for getthebar.

I don't claim to be a reporter. I just give my opinion on things. I make my money online pretty easy and I don't have to trick anyone and provide them with false hopes.

Did I say there's nothing to be proud of? I'm under no delusion we can
change the past or we are the only country colonized. India was
colonized but changed the names of cities. Bottom line, moving forward
is changing the name of the country that might help change the future.
If someone were to invade the country right now and change the name to
Crap Islands, should we accept it as time goes by?

Them flashing paperwork is a means to say "Hey we are official" without showing face. True transparent companies don't need to do that. You expect the average Joe to look up all that info? A simple about us with names of the officers and background will do. There's a reason why there's no face of the company. Having some OZ is old tired business tactics and will not pass in the ever growing transparent social business atmosphere. If they guys are supposed to beat google, wouldn't you think the names of these innovators would be highlighted? Have there been any anonymous CEOs in the fortune 500? Would Twitter fair so well if they didn't have transparency with their capacity problems or Biz Stone doing the press rounds? It's a new game.

Why would I delete comments because they are have another opinion? I even left one irrelevant one.

Can you tell me where I can find names of the people who run Boloto? Anyone can register a business or trademark a name. Adding a footer is not enough. Funny they felt like they had to show a certificate from Nevada. It's now all about transparency. Study the philosophy of Zappos as an example.

In my opinion, focus your energy somewhere else. I'm sure some people have gotten paid but in the long run (2 years at the most), I predict this thing will fold. The parent company has a history of setting up get rich quick companies then shutting them down. Some of the people here will tell you it's great but that's only because they are "in it". I have not seen any positive independent analysis of this company. Additionally, I was at Ad-Tech (http://ad-tech.com) today and all the big boys, innovators and newbies were there. Not a peep from the "get the bar" folks. Seems like their market is 1) People who don't really know anything about the web and 2) People who know about the web and can sell it to #1.

I have 4 theories (I agree with you that it's ridiculous that this little site shows up that high)

1) It's because most of the folks running their own getthebar sites like getrichwithabarinsteadoflearningaviabletrade.biz don't really know much about basic SEO and are using unoptimized web templates. Duh, why would you use a graphic with your keywords?
2) There's no copy out there. Search engines like a good copy. Like I explained in #1, search engines can't read text in jpg's. Use flash instead.
3) People are not writing about it and I have little competition in regards to independent analysis. If there's no buzz, it doesn't matter. Invitations do not equal buzz. It's just noise.
4) I work for Google and I can manipulate search engine results.

I was at the Web2.0 Expo last week and this company had zero presence. OK, maybe it's not 100% the venue for them...how about ad-tech in 2 weeks? With all due respect, nobody pro-bar here has said anything of significance. They are all ideas without any sense of history or hard facts. Ads by ER? Give me a break. If this is supposed to be groundbreaking, where are all the independent analysts? Nowhere because they don't care.

Who are the 17 of 25 of the TOP INTERNET ADVERTISERS? I'm going to the Web2.0 Expo to checkout some of new/old tech/business innovators. There's a lot of panels about Money2.0 and monetizing social media. If get the bar is or is going to change the world, how come they are not present there? Thanks

So who are the "Very Large Companies"? Exactly

Re: 5 reasons why GetTheBar.com will fail

cabuay — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:27:36 -0000

1) What a corporate spin line that was
2) No company has used this business model? It's been done before and failed. Name some "very large companies" that are advertising on the "bar". American Apparel? Foot Locker? Bestbuy? Amazon? Walmart? Zappos?
3) Do you seriously expect the average person to look up that info? Up to now, there's still no company info on gethebar.com. The #1 new business rule is transparency.
4) Because if someone has a stake in something they are promoting, there's a motive and that motive is money. How about you give the direct link to the product without your affiliate link? Because you want to make money of some sucker who doesn't know much about the internet. How about you be honest and tell people you are making money off them? In a time of recession, people are desperate to earn a little cash. It would be better to learn a skill that will give them real value not some clicking on links like some robot to earn pennies and make money for an upline.

Another sign of slanted views..... ALL CAPS

LOL, this company would be honored to have google pay attention to them.

There's no need to edit it. There's still not enough info for me and at the time I wrote the article, I believe there was even less info. In this day and age, companies should be transparent. It seems like this company is trying to tap into hot markets such as social media, then transparency is a prerequisite to be let into the club. If they eventually do become more transparent (I highly doubt it), there's no need to edit the article. It was written at a specific time and will stand as is. Again, there is no bias here. I'm just going by new business principals that have been identified by the new consumer.

The only thing long term for most of the people who get involved with this is a waste of time. Been to AdsbyER and it will fail because it's reliant on the bar. Only Z list companies will advertise. Smart companies wouldn't be dumb enough to advertise on a platform that would yield customer clicks because they get a little $.

Chris Bailey wrote a great post on http://chrisbailey.info/paid-to-surf-read-or-cl...

"You are giving personal info to a company and owner, Robert Donnelli that has almost no internet presence or reputation, good or bad. While they claim that info gathered is used for demographics for “advertisers” and is not to be sold, the info given is a valuable commodity that they could easily sell without your knowledge. What have you found online that shows they can be trusted?"

You can view all the other vapor companies this group has created. Looks like the trend is build hype, make money off uninformed & unexperienced people, close up shop, and move on to the next thing. Name 10 websites they own that don't redirect to gethtebar. What happen to BolotoCard.com launched in 2007? Exactly

I believe it would be a better use of time to learn a marketable skill. That will give you more wealth rather than flash in the pan "wealth".

What are the patents for this highly targeted demo technology? Have you heard of http://www.adaptiveads.com that just got bought by GlamMedia? I didn't say TV, I said TV ads....that you may eventually be interested as you say. But do whatever you want if you want to waste your time. Good luck to you.
