Global Domains International: Scam or Really That Good?

by John Scevola

In order to classify something as illegitimate or a scam, we first must understand their business and what they are trying to do. The domain registry industry is a fast paced and competitive market where a large number of domain registration companies are trying to get their domains sold through a small army of domain resellers. That is how Internet domains have been sold for years, and that is how Internet domains will be sold for the foreseeable future.

In the Internet industry is it always difficult to identify pioneers and the forward thinking people that can take the simplest of Internet ideas and turn them into a huge opportunity. One of the areas that have seen some very creative people find a lot of success the past few years is the domain registration business, but Global Domains International could be identified as a pioneering company when it comes to offering domain registration services that could make you a steady income for a long time to come.

It is easy to dismiss a company that comes on to the Internet scene with a new idea as a fly by night organization, but Global Domains International is a forward thinking company that is digging in and preparing to write a long and successful history. At a time when the dot com domains are filling up and people are looking for an alternative way to get their businesses noticed on the Internet, Global Domains International has provided that alternative and then they also created a way to allow you to make money from their great idea.

Global Domains International has secured the entire .WS market, and they want you to help them create an Internet revolution that could make you a full time income. Right now there are between 20 and 30 million dot com websites registered in the world, and it has become increasingly difficult to make your business stand out in the dot com world. With a .WS address your company can stand out above the rest, and gain an entirely new level of Internet presence not possible with an obscure dot com address. It is a pioneering idea that could change the way business is done on the Internet, and it is the brainchild of Global Domains International.

Global Domains International knows that they cannot bring this pioneering idea to the entire Internet by themselves, so they want to pay you to help them do it. If you get involved in their .WS reseller program, then you will have the opportunity to get paid for getting other people interested in this groundbreaking idea and profit from your hard work and their hard work as well. The Global Domains International multi-tiered approach to marketing their product allows you to make money from the people that you bring in, as well as making money from the people that they get involved in the program as well. Your income grows as your business grows, and that is the result of the marketing experts at Global Domain International.

You can search the Internet all day for business opportunities and you will uncover a few legitimate programs, and you will also be exposed to a lot of people that offer you the moon and fall way short on delivering. You need a solid program, backed by a solid business idea, and executed by a solid company. With the Global Domains International .WS reseller program you get all of that, and you get so much more. You can also benefit from their world class Internet hosting service, and all of the benefits that come from having a website registered and hosted by Global Domains International. You get all of this while building a business that could make you a large part-time income, or could turn into your full time successful business.

All of this is made possible by Global Domains International, and it is because they are just that good.

GDI Affiliate since 07/19/2005

In 2002, the textile company I worked for closed its doors. Since then I have been looking for an opportunity to recover my losses and become financially independent. My vision is that GDI will give me that independence.

Promotional Tip:

1. Wherever you go, keep a note pad and gather names and emails addresses.
2. Submit the emails and follow up to be sure if they received them.
3. Always stay positive. A negative attitude will destroy chances.
4. Communicate to your downline. They are the key to your success.

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.

Questions and answers I found at the GDI website.

I don't want to SELL anything. That said, how do I build my business?

That is the beauty of our program. YOU don't sell anything, WE do all the selling for you. Just enter the names and email addresses of the people you know personally, online, and we'll send a personalized email to them, from YOU, which directs them to a fully personalized, dynamic flash presentation. If you prefer, you can alternatively send them directly to your free WebSite.ws Affiliate WebSite, which will be identical..., but tracked to YOU, so you get the credit for all sign ups.

FYI: GDI strictly prohibits SPAM e-mails!! Have a relationship with the people before you send the invitation. Or let them come to you, or me, through a "blog."

Is anything else included in the $10 monthly fee?

Yes: Lots of options! Your $10 monthly fee covers not only your .WS "WebSite" domain name, but everything needed to make full use of it. You can use our hosting services, forward your domain to another location, leave it parked with a simple construction screen, or use our simple SiteBuilder tool to help you design a great WebSite in minutes. All these options include email services. Of course, you always have the option of using your own hosting company as well!

Global Domains International

For over thirty years I have been involved with various Network Marketing business' (starting with Amway in the 70's). Periodically I find, and join, a company that promises additional income (specifically in the health and wellness industry). The major benefit of a "home based business" (for me) is income tax deductions (plus I get my nutritionals at wholesale price). Over the last eight months I've attempted to build my Max International business on the Internet (because I was so sick I rarely left my apartment). I've commented (on my "blog") about Internet scams that touched my life. None the less, I honestly believe an individual can build a business from their computer in the privacy of their home. Recently I was introduced to another business with big promises and, fortunately, small start up cost. "Small start up cost" is an operative word with me after spending $38. for one... and $197. for another, and $2,985. for Dotless Domain.

I did my Google search regarding this company and haven't found numerous complaints. Affiliates with the company have high praise. Yes, I signed up!! I had nothing to loose because the first seven days are free!! I can explore... and (if it isn't right for me) cancel. If I want to continue... it will only cost $10. per month. I can afford $10. a month!! (I was doing basic arithmetic the other day and it will cost me $299. to join Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing and over $100. a month thereafter. Perhaps additional fees that I'm unaware of while still on the "outside" of the FHTM business.)

If you are curious, and need another source of income, I invite you to visit Global Domains International. An extremely long video provides all the details. I've never been a "high pressure" salesman. I didn't "sell" a $759. EcoQuest Fresh Air purifier to someone who was skeptical. I didn't "sell" Max nutritionals to someone who questioned the value of the supplements. (I didn't sell refrigerators to the Eskimos in Alaska!!) Watch the video and see if it is something you might be interested in. Let me know what you think?!?!

From the Internet...

Has anyone heard of Global Domains International? #8
Mar 6th, 2005

Hi all,

Just thought I'd let everyone know I've joined. I have recently got myself a domain name through DOT WS (GDI) and have started building my website already. My main website is a .COM but I thought I'd have a link to my .WS on it. It seems like an interesting Business Op. I do not think of it as a Pyramid Scheme as I have had plenty of experience with these little buggers in the past and I am therefore very cautious. It is a Multi-Level Marketing Business though - some are bad, some are good. It does seem to benefit both parties though! The buyer (like I originally was) benefits from paying $10 a month and gets a domain name, advice on building a website, all the tools (incl. an Online Site Builder), and a Business Op. at the same time... and the seller gets another downline. I didn't think that was too bad!? To sum up - I think it's worth giving it a go and I will keep you all up-to-date on my progress, if you find this useful. Cheers, Rick Higgers.

FDA Warns Consumers to Stop Using Hydroxycut Weight-Loss Products

Dietary supplements linked to one death; risk of liver injury

May 1, 2009 (ConsumerAffairs.com)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to immediately stop using Hydroxycut products after learning of a number of serious liver injuries. Iovate Health Sciences, the manufacturer, has agreed to recall Hydroxycut products from the market.

The FDA has received 23 reports of serious health problems ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of potential liver injury, to liver damage requiring liver transplant. One death due to liver failure has been reported to the FDA. Other health problems reported include seizures; cardiovascular disorders; and rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure.

Read the entire article. Visit my web site and read about MaxWLX (weight loss accelerator), a safe weight loss product.

Postscript 5/07/09: From Mike Adams, Natural News, FDA Floats Hydroxycut Scare to Discredit Yet Another Supplement Company. Well worth reading!!

The merry month of May....

The merry month of May is named after the goddess Maia Majestas, who is foremost of the Greek Seven Sisters (the Pleiades) and the mother of Hermes. It is a month associated with flowers and mild weather in the northern hemisphere. The first day, called May Day, was once a popular festival honoring Flora, the goddess of flowers.

The month of May also includes Mother's Day, which is a modern American invention. Its creator was Anna M. Jarvis (1864-1948), a West Virginia schoolteacher who undertook a letter-writing campaign in 1905, petitioning ministers, businessmen, and congressmen to support the idea of a national day set aside to honor mothers. In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to proclaim a national day of observance, and within a year the rest of the union followed suit.
