Global Domains International (GDI) is not a scam!!!!!

If you have been following my "blog" you know that I have been the victim of several scams. I've become diligent about searching for complaints from consumers. Yes, there are complaints about GDI. However, here is a very articulate rebuttal to report #424039 on RipoffReport.com.

Global Domains International (GDI) is not a scam!!!!! I have read a number of comments from people here stating GDI is just another pyramid scam which to say the least IS INCORRECT!!!!!!!

Let me let you in on a bit of info that most sponsors do not tell you.

1. Yes GDI is a pyramid but is also a sales position and an affiliate program.

For those of you that do not know what an affiliate program is. It is a commissioned sales position where you will earn money for advertising for the company you are promoting. This happens numerous times on the Internet today: Google, Adsense and a number of sites will pay you. Just take a look at Adjungle, Commission Junction and a bunch of others.

Even search Google for affiliate programs and find out just how many are out there you may be surprised at what you find.

Some people have even stated there is no product with GDI that is also incorrect. You are selling domain names and web space and the email addresses. First maybe you should look at what it would cost you to register you own domain name and pay for webhosting you will find that GDI is right in the ball park.

Also look at the fact that most hosting companies want you to pay for a full year in advance to save a bit.

Also look into the growth of the Internet and see just how many websites there are out there. See I am a web designer by trade and also offer my own web hosting and domain registrations so I have a unique view in this industry.

The truth of the matter is this, anyone that uses photobucket to upload images so their friends and family can see them is perfect for this business. Anyone that uses hotmail, yahoo or any of the other free email providers are perfect for this business. Also any small business that is not already currently on the net is perfect for this business. One person even stated that the website that you are supposed to be purchasing will need to be used to promote the GDI business. This is so wrong! GDI promotional websites are completely separate from your own domain name and you can use that webspace anyway you see fit.

Sad thing is the fact that there have been so many companies out there that when one that is actually legit comes along the red lights go up. See I thought the same thing when I first came across the opportunity 6 months ago so I did my homework on the company so I ask all you out there that thinks GDI is a scam the following.

1. Did you look at their BBB listings?
2. Did you know that all pyramid scams are typically shut down is 12-18 months yet GDI has been in business in the same location since 1999?
3. What about those that are already making money from the business that isn't scared of the sales nature of the opportunity?

It would be very interesting to know what you people have actually researched when posting your scam comments. Anyone that would like to actually sit down with me and truly go over the scam or no scam issue is encouraged to contact me via email I will be more then happy to give you the real low down of what is and isn't right about this business.

If you are afraid of any sales type of a position then this opportunity is not for you. However if not then you may just be able to make a comfortable living with the right approach. The Internet is going to be with us for some time to come and yes there will be scams out there I do not deny that but there are also a bunch of them that are 100% legit if you are willing to take the time to look at it completely.

If anyone wishes to contact me my email is webmaster@averywebservices.ws at which time I will either setup a time where you can meet me in my own private chat room.

Good luck to all and please have faith in the Internet and do your full research before you think a company is a scam without having the full information.

If GDI was a scam they would have been gone by 2001 we are into 2009 and almost 10 years into the companies existence. You cannot run a scam that long without getting nailed.
