Free Index advertising.
Permalink Closed


Well this is a good one!  I have been on Free Index for a few months now and I have had no leads, until tonight that is...... well had an email to say 'Massage Therapist needed' it was about 25 miles from me, so I went into the link and had a look, I thought maybe it was a 'massage therapist' needing a bookkeeper perhaps?  Well now it wasn't it read 'massage needed, will come to practice at weekends preferable', well the english was dreadful and how can they get a massage confused with bookkeeping I'll never know!

So although I haven't paid for any advert, and its only the freebee stuff it did make me laugh as I couldn't quite believe it to be honest.  Apparently first 5 replies are sent to the potential client.

Well of course I haven't replied!

Just thought I would cheer you all up tonight with that one.confuse.gif

I'm with them too... had a few 'if you spend some money with us then we can boost your advertising power' including having the 'Police community magazine' call me 30 minutes after i confirmed the ad!!! LOL Nearly fell for it too, had them confirming they were sending proofs the lot! When i read up a bit more about them and told them to clear off they stopped....

Quite liking Free Index though for what it is even though you get the cold calls! Took ages to set the account up though, found it difficult to talk about myself in the 3rd person

Well here we go again today!

I have just had another email from Free index, asking for an Electrician! I went in to the advert via the link and its describes wanting to move the main board from the garage to the hallway in the house. Well I somehow don't think this is me. I am now beginning to wonder whether I filled in the advert correctly on the net when I set it up!!!
