		<description>Hey Matthew. There was no &quot;bribery&quot; involved in me getting those comments. I approved whatever came in, and did not ask for either good or bad comments.

No dark games - just the truth at what transpired when I tried to get a refund from you. I would never treat one of my customers the way you treated my request. And as an aside, I have been receiving additional emails from others who had a similar experience with your (lack of) service you would not want me to publish - including doubts you are even a real person... and instead a marketer operating under a pseudonym.

Merry Christmas to you.

Roger

P.S. Pls stop autoresponder emailing me - I tried to unsubscribe from your list but your system will not allow unsubscribes.</description>

		<description>Well Roger...Looks like you proved your point...even if your bribing people in a way to do it.  Again....as clearly stated above in the original transcript (just as your reader John Samuels described) you never wanted, nor were you interested in a working product.  The fix was immediate, but you did not even try to use it.  What was your interest in the first place?

Customer service at its worse?  

As soon as I received your email I went to work getting the problem fixed.  And fixed it was faster then 99% of responses you get back from anywhere.  I&#039;m sure many agree that I responded accordingly, and your response is what triggered the distrust on my part.  Then you go on to just slam me and my marketing efforts (which are 100% honest) which is another devious, dark marketing method.

You ordered a product, it was not working correctly, mind you, but was fixed immediately in response to your immediate problem.

You&#039;ve made your point...that you can be the wrong person to tangle with.  After all thats what this came down to.  Somehow you feel you were wronged, and now have made that person suffer.  Reminds me of my ex wife.  Seriously.

But if it is dark games you must play to make yourself feel better, and email bribes to get a &#039;FEW&#039; marketers to side with you then have at it (as you already have).

Good luck man, and remind me not to cross your path again, or offer you a good product that you will only want a return on so that you may bash me publicly.  Everything points to you not wanting to ever even use the product and then making a tirade against me publicly to satisfy some primal need to make someone pay that crosses your path.

Merry Christmas,
Matthew P. Griffin</description>

		<description>Good for you Roger, for posting the complete transcript.

I had a similar problem with a different product, but after the second try I got my refund promptly. That was good customer service in spite of me not getting the goods.

If this guy is all that concerned he should invest in trying to find a way to stop customers using the software after a refund.</description>

		<description>Hello John, thanks for your comment - I appreciate it. While it goes without saying I don&#039;t agree with you, I certainly respect your opinion. Just to show I&#039;m fair to everyone - no matter whether they support me or not - I have sent you a gift by email for taking the time to comment on my blog.

Talk soon,
Roger

P.S. I am not using the product.</description>

		<description>Actually you come across pretty bad in this Roger. If you had any inclination to use the product you would have been a lot more open to sorting out the installation issues. 

As you were not, it is pretty clear you did indeed buy to refund. Whether you are still using it or not, I don&#039;t know. But you definitely come across as the one in the wrong here.</description>

		<description>Hi there Roger.

 I do appreciate your regular emails. I must now acknowledge and commend the stand that you took, even knowing that they would try and badmouth you and then suggest that you were in the wrong. 

Yes, there may be people that download and then ask for a refund. I am sure that it a very small percentage compared to the overall number of sales made.

I learnt many years ago that to stay in business for the long term, you need to treat each customer as if they are your only customer. It is cheaper for you, the seller, to be an honest person and do the right thing, than it is to go out constantly looking for new customers.

I had a similar problem with J.P. the unethical person from Ethic-Cash. In the end, he is the ultimate loser. I wonder, just  how many customers can a seller afford to lose?

Thanks again for your honesty and the great info that you share.</description>

		<description>Hello Tony, I have found having a &quot;ring&quot; of at least 3-blogs - all linked to each other works great - and then post to all 3 blogs. Next, I use SEnuke (or a similar program) and Ping.fm to Social bookmark it. I also use Odiogo.com (free plugin) on all my blogs and that seems to make a positive difference with Google.

If you like, email me at roger [at] betterclix.com and I will be happy to get on the phone with you (no charge) to help you even the playing field.

Over the years I&#039;ve come to understand what works with Google for operations such as this is;

- Original content
- Inbound links (thru social bookmarks works great, such as Digg, Jumptags etc)
- a history (having your blog established for a while)

I&#039;ve sent you something for commenting.

Thanks, Roger</description>
