Advertising for Powerleveling!

Just read....

Greetings!

My name is (name), Advertising Editor of MMOWorld Magazine. In response to a large outcry from our readers, we are now including reviews and advertisements for Power Leveling and Gold Selling Websites that revolve around the MMO World of gaming, and have sought you out to offer you a one paragraph, sub-page advertisement or Editorial Review in our December issue.

We at MMOWorld feel like online gaming is the next step in a long road to a more stable economic future for many online sites such as your own, whose sole base for income is the purchase of online currencies and power leveling services by our 20,000+ readers. We offer numerous plans and options to assist in boasting your company's capital, reputation, and overall business through our magazine. Listed below are a few of the plans that we offer (website name here):

Power Level Review: Have your website featured in a quarter-page review, written by our own Derek Fallsbrook, graduate of the New York School of Journalism, as well as receiving a free one paragraph, sub-page advertisement in the following THREE ISSUES. Using a premade account, our magazine will grade you upon the timeliness of the Power Level session, in game currency earned, and skill points at the end of one month or sooner. Payment for the power level service will be barter-based, in which we will exchange your review and the following three months of advertisments in exchange for the powerleveling session. A more than $500.00US value...free to you!

Power Level Advertisement A $50.00US deposit can be made to (paypal account) per 100 words, not to exceed 400 words. You may supply your own advertisement, or for a small extra fee of $30.00US have one of our Advertisement Journalists create the advertisement for you.

Gold Delivery Advertisement We offer this service, with a maximum of 200 words, as a means for websites who are tight in capital to invest in advertising without coming out of pocket. A gold trade, equal to $100.00US [based upon your website's exchange rate] can be paid to one of our numerous World of Warcraft characters IN GAME!!! Being that MMOWorld has multiple readers on multiple servers throughout the world, we offer this last payment plan as a means to assist in current and future contests that we hold monthly in our magazine, where in game currency and even World of Wacraft accounts can be won by our readers.

In closing, I would like to wish you a fine day, and look forward to hearing back from you. I have enclosed a few quotes from other websites that have taken advertisements in our magazine. Good day.

Quotes:

"MMOWorld has more than tripled our monthly sales! Thanks MMOWorld!" - Don Suquadeck, Powelevel.com/notarealsite

"Sometimes we barely have enough gold to keep up with the demand, I know this is because of you (your name), and the team at MMOWorld." Peter N. DeBush, GoldforJesus.com



Anyway, you get the point. I have already sent this email to Swagvault, MMOINN, and Wowmine, so don't waste your time...you'll nerf my chances and your own.

Just be sure to use one of the email anonymizers out there to mask your email to make it @MMOWorld.com (or whatever you name your mag)...Yeah, I effed that up, but we'll see how my Yahoo addy works...I mean, it is my real name at Yahoo.

Essentially you're duping the site into thinking that they are performing the free powerleveling or gold trades solely for advertising purposes for your fake magazine which boasts more than 20,000 readers and has increased money flow to other websites like theres!

A bit confused at first, but now I understand, sounds pretty good but I would have waited for results before telling others, like you said yourself, could nerf your chances.

Re: Advertising for Powerleveling!

Meh...I like leveling my own guys, and have way too much gold from one of the "scam a gold seller" scams. Lol.

NERF AWAY - You will only screw yourself, lol.

Oh, and for the update, SwagVault emailed back and said, "Thank you for email. Our manager is not here, but will read email when he come in."

So hey! Maybe!?
