Anyone have success this company? Legit, or a waste of $25? http://www.submissionmagic.net/index.html

Yeah, I was wondering about this company as well. It seems legit, being that it is back by Dish Network, but I guess you always have to be cautious when things seem too good to be true. Let me know if you decide to go for it, or hear anything else. Thanks.

I ran across this in my local newspaper to day just searching for a job. Where did you guys here anout it at. It's got to be something new because this is the first I have heard of it and I seem to get all of the spam mail.... My question is why would Dish Network pay people $50 to sell their dish on your website when they could advertise themselves on the search engine. Also, when their are more than 10 people than sign up, how are they going to keep everyone in the top 10 search responses??? It may be legit, but It goes back to the old saying that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

It's true, I don't understand why they need all of our help to sell their product. But, I did go to Google and type in Dish Network, some websites like the sample one on the Submission Magic website did come up. I found out about this by searching my local paper's website today looking for a job. I tried to look it up on the Better Business Bureau website, but they didn't have any information.

Hey, that's a really good idea. I never thought about doing a search, but they could have made up several websites and posted them. I have been doing research on home based businesses at http://www.work-at-home-dot.com/. They pretty much stated that no home based business is a long term successful one unless you are selling a product. I know Dish Network is a product, but why wouldn't they just try to get people straight to their site. I thought if it is a scam, since this is in conjunction with a company promising control over search engine results, could they manipulate bad ones as well?

One of the ways I check on a company or its reputation is by going to Google and typing something like "submission magic sucks" or "submission magic fraud," or "submission magic scam."

Using the last set of words, I came up with the comments on your forum, but I'm still looking. I, like probably a few other of you visiting this forum, am desperately in need of a job in which I can incorporate either my writing or customer and vendor service experience. So far, it's been tough!

If I get involved with this deal, I will post something; in the meantime, it would be great if someone else could pass their experience on to me and others curious about it.

(I found out a lot of information I didn't expect to find about companies such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy using the "sucks" keyword after entering the company name. It's a good indication of poor customer service when you get 100 results after searching for "Best Buy Sucks!"

I've been a member of this affiliate program for three days now.

VMCSatellite allows you a tracking system which shows the number of visitors and page views to your affiliate site, the one that you paid the one time 25$ nominal fee to advertise on 100+ search engines.

In the time that my site has been up, I've seen that my page has been viewed 45 times..so apparently it's working. I've also been able to find my website by typing it in on several of the search engines, so the program is legitimate.

I would like to note however, that I have not made a sale in the three days that my web site has been operating. However, I'm fairly confident that I will soon, sale to user ratio and all.

If you'd like more information on the affiliate program, visit my website;

I'd love to hear from you!

It is 100% legit.

The issue is not wheter it is legit, or if it costs too much...its an issue of wheter you want to promote the address that gets created for you. SM builds a cheap little cookie cutter site for you; adds it to the search engines and thats it. The plain and simple is that if you want to make any money off of this you have to go out and promote your site. They are essentially trying to create a marketing/sales team. If you don't promote your site then you will make 0(THATS ZERO) money. Just think about it: If 2000 people do this, then you will have 2000 of the same exact site show up under the search engine. Dick, Tom or Harry won't care if its yours or the guys across the road. And neither does SM. SM gets far more than $50 for the activations, I know becasue I worked for DISH. Plus they made $25 off people for a $2.00 site.

So, if you decide to shell out the cash...remember - Only hard work makes money! This will work, but it will cost you more than $25. Make some business cards and flyers with your site address. Send out flyers. Talk and chat up your site.

This whole scheme is not new...Tupperware, Pampered Chef and other have done this for years.

Hope this helps.
