CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

For some obscure reason I received the CAG newsletter today. Why they think I would be even remotely interested in anything they have to do or say, especially when I tried and tried to get a response from them when they moderated me, is beyond me and Hotmail clearly thought the same and helpfully placed it in the 'Junk' folder for me.

The only better place Hotmail could have chosen for it, would have been the 'Deleted' folder, which is where it is now - unopened.

It's been that way since about May 2007.

Ahhhh yes I remember it well, the birth of Beagles :beagle:

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

A search around the posters on various threads there shows that quite a number of long time posters no longer make contributions.

These were the one's with experience,expertise and common sense so a great loss especially as there seems to be a lack of knowledgable people to fill their shoes so far.

The reason that Legal Beagles is the way it is **** is that the majority of people who fall out with CAG, end up there !

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

You have to wonder just how many of those clicking are digging themselves some very deep holes.

But that's OK. They can always joing CAG and find out how to avoid paying back their shiny new debts.

THAT'S IT!!! Gander is on a massive recruitment drive!!! LOL

To make over £1400 a month on Google Ad clickthroughs is quite a lot though. (He said they needed £1400 a month to keep going so one assumes that notice means they are surpassing that)

Well at least they arent affiliate links, because then CAGs income would related directly to how much in payday loans was taken out by CAG visitors.

I;d much rather have affiliate links to things unrelated to the subject matter, but of course then you dont get the click throughs. Eg. You could have an argos, amazon, tesco, JLP etc affiliate links and try get people to go to those sites via your site when they want things.

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

Got to ask... why doesn't Goosey just take advantage of a nice instant loan? If he clicks on one of his ads, all his problems will be solved.

Then when he runs out of money, he'll have another loan company to apply to.

He could always get one of those PayDay loans. That would tide him over until the end of the month.

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

I assume you've done the webcheck stuff. I think that £500.00 will go along way. I do wonder if the payday loans is helping out customers in financial hardship cos their guide wouldn't help a cat under the wheels of a tank on a road.

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

Nice of him to explain it to his membership, it would have been a better idea to do that BEFORE though so that people knew what was going on ffs.

It was only last year that he was spinning a different tale Interview: The Consumer Action Group forum - Free Forum Articles

When oh when will they realise that their first priority are their members and keeping them informed, that one of the things Beagles does best, amongst others.

Re: CAG has had an almighty 'upgrade'

phew from us as well

Google Ads on Unregistered login

BankFodder
''By the way, the improvements we are making are as a result of the ads which we have put up. they are working well enough that we can pay our bills, afford more powerful server and also fund one or two projects which will be announced in the next couple of months - so it is all due to the people who ultimately pay us for hosting their ads:- those nice finance companies and the rest of them!''


''Google filter categories are very broad and there are very few of them. It isn't possible to select loan company etc ads in isolation.

We were on the verge of not being able to pay our bills - the result being that we would have disappeared altogether.

Now, we can pay our bills and we can improve the site and run a few projects which will benefit people.
The way to avoid ads to to register or to logon. Actually people will have to logon and make 40 posts for all of the ads to go.

Also, enjoy the delicious irony that when people click a payday loan ad, we get revenue paid for by the loan company so that in effect we are being maintained by the very people you don't like.''


Irony indeed.
