GDI may have told you their leads were from telemarketing and the people have said they would be interested in being contacted about MLM possibilities but that simply isn’t true. Just read some of the comments of those spammed by a GDI member here and in other places on the Web. And its not just email spamming their members do.

Also, I would not believe any complaint on ripoffreport without having other forms of validation. Anyone can write a complaint and regardless of how valid or invalid it may be, it will never be removed from their site. I understand why they have chosen to adopted such a policy but it does and has hurt innocent people/businesses, eventhough it has helped those who have been ripped off. There should be some sort of investigation of bogus reports or comment from ripoffreport’s editors when a report is questionable.

Spamming to my understanding is soliciting people who’ve not previously requested info. GDI told me their leads were from telemarketing and the prople have said they would be interested in being contacted about MLM possibilities. Also consider ordering their biz cards for $50.00/thousand or their template flyer and making your flyer copies at a printer.
It still bothers me about the “.ws” thing and not being recognized by ICANN.

Most of all, go to forums where posts involve various opportunties and topics. A forum or blog heavily concentrating on negative postings regarding mainly one issue, company, or offer may surely attract false positive postings from any company receiving negative reviews. I guess my advice would be to diversify and spread your search among various sources to ferret or “smoke out” the negatives.

If anyone knows of any good MLM plans from experience, I would enjoy hearing from them.

Yes, greed is a major contributor to why many try something like this company offers. Greed is based in fear and fear drives most of us in some way or another. Some are desperate and look for the easy way to make money and GDI looks easy. This company depends on others desperation and/or greed, which I think is true of most MLM schemes.

It’s interesting that most who try to defend GDI’s scheme think that I am jealous or don’t want others to do well. That simply isn’t true but any defense is better than no defense. Some are unbelievably angry with this post and it’s comments. They do not get approved, mostly because of the language they choose to use in expressing their anger. Everyone has a point of view and they are entitled to have one but when they choose to use foul language to express their point of view, it goes in the trash. I have also decided to not approve posts that do not use proper sentence and paragraph formatting. They are just too hard to read and make sense of.

Thanks for providing your point of view.

Scam or no scam? is that the question?… or is there more?!?lol

I will now define very simple…yet very complex ideas.

GREED: A thirst for money and riches. money can be an addiction, just as alcohol, food, tv, video games, sex etc. When your addicted to money, you are greedy. Who wants to be greedy?

MONEY: A necessity in modern society. How you get it is one major way that you are defined.

TO BE RICH: YES! no more financial worries!…BUT it is very difficult to be rich, and to not be addicted to money or to be greedy. Be very careful with riches, because the more you own, the more they own you.

Easy methods of producing an income (short cuts such as GLOBAL DOMAINS INTERNATIONAL) don’t help your personality grow. Methods in which you create and add to the world are definitly the best ways to build an income and an interesting personality.

Try to find a job that you enjoy, and that adds to the big picture of life as a whole. try to make a difference in the world.

thnx for bearing with ME (i didn\’t want to sound small on that me… or wait… I*)lol. And I hope a good, fulfilling, and successful life to all. Peace Out.

I received an email from this company this afternoon and watched their little “propaganda” video… reminded me of ALL the other MLM’s out there. Hopefully, they won’t dupe TOO many people out of their cash before they get shut down.

I would never be “mean hearted”, as you put it, to anyone who made an effort to write a properly formatted sentence when trying to communicate their opinions. It does not have to be perfect, only readable. But those I commented on did not try.

Now, you may not like how I pollute my blog with negative vibes, but there is always a place for negativity. You can not have positive without negative and I will continue to do as I please with my own blog, thank you very much.

Education comes in many different, nicely wrapped, boxes. We each get to choose which box we want to use when educating and when being educated. You may not like my way, that’s okay with me but don’t expect any changes just because you don’t see the irony in MY way.

It appears that you want to do good in the world—so then do it. Just because it is “your” blog doesn’t give a reason for you to pollute with negative vibes.

This did sound dodgy from the very start, and thanks for the post.

If you can create a spam-free network that enables you to create a web page or 10 without pulling teeth, than who is it going to hurt if you can make a dollar a month from guiding someone to a moderately inexpensive way to build their own website?

To answer your question, it’s a waste of your time and money. It’s getting harder for affiliates to market a product from a main business if they can’t find a unique way to do so. Most of the people drawn into a scheme like GDI know nothing about search engines and online marketing. They just copy GDI’s marketing advice and end up not being able to get listed in the search engines because it’s considered duplicate content buy the major search engines and that is only going to get more prevalent in the future. If they manage to get listed it will be so far down the list none will ever see it.

There’s also the issue about the domain extension itself. Should GDI loose the right to sell the .ws domains or should they decide to not let you use anywhere except on their hosting servers, you have no recourse as a consumer. There is no governing body to monitor the .ws extension. Any domain extension that is not a governed by ICANN should not be considered as valuable in any form.

If anyone decides to pursue GDI, than they should locate alternate advertising methods that don’t irratate the bajesus out of people.

The problem I see with this is that the alternatives will most likely cost you more than the return you will get. In fact, that is the case for most who try it. The information is online and written by those who did fall into the GDI trap. Many more fail then succeed. GDI preys on people who want a big return on very little effort and they market their so called product on that premise. There are many more ways to earn money online that will do well than a scheme like GDI has in place but they require effort, thought, some skill and/or the willingness to learn. GDI could be a good learning tool by showing what not to do but I suspect that most just go on to the next scheme to make money without any effort.
