View Full Version : I keep seeing...
Weaselword 08-21-2007, 04:28 AM ...advertisements for the WL Writers' Literary Agency on this site. Preditors and Editors has their little gang down as "strongly not recommended".
I imagine this is probably some kind of google ads thing and the admins may not be able to change which ads are displayed, but I wanted to mention P&E's view of the WL WLA, in case anyone is thinking of submitting to them.
Banzai 08-21-2007, 04:32 AM Good call, bringing this to the attention of the forums, but I'm afraid your right; admin has no control over the advertisements on the site.
mammamaia 08-21-2007, 04:20 PM i mentioned that already and got nowhere...
Banzai 08-21-2007, 04:42 PM I really don't think there is anything Daniel can do about it, Maia. It's down to google ads, or whoever.
Daniel 08-22-2007, 05:18 PM The ads are based on the actual site targeting their site to be displayed here or shown based on the topics relevance (writing).
I don't think I can do much about it - however, I will look into it in more detail.
Daniel 08-22-2007, 06:07 PM Okay, is this the link of the actual site?
http://www.wlwritersagency.com/
Banzai 08-22-2007, 06:16 PM That be the one...
mammamaia 08-22-2007, 07:42 PM and it's one of the worst preyers on unwary newbies you can find on the net or anywhere... ranks down there with poetry.com...
EyezForYou 08-22-2007, 08:09 PM Were you preyed upon, my love?
Daniel 08-22-2007, 10:27 PM and it's one of the worst preyers on unwary newbies you can find on the net or anywhere... ranks down there with poetry.com...
That bad, huh?
mammamaia 08-23-2007, 05:40 PM Were you preyed upon, my love?
...heck, no!... i've always been too much of a skeptic to fall for scams...
Cogito 08-23-2007, 06:48 PM You? Skeptical? Who'd have thunk it!
Daniel 08-23-2007, 07:34 PM The link to that site should no longer appear in any ads. I'm sorry it took so long to get it blocked.
Cogito 08-23-2007, 08:05 PM That's great news. Thanks!
Weaselword 08-24-2007, 02:54 AM Oh, I didn't know that could be done with google ads.
Thank you, Mr Admin!
Banzai 08-24-2007, 06:06 AM Oh, I didn't know that could be done with google ads.
Ye of little faith! The great and powerful Lpspider can do anything!
mammamaia 08-24-2007, 05:42 PM good work, lp!... thanks for not giving up on something that couldn't have been easy to accomplish...
hugs, m
Daniel 09-05-2007, 09:13 PM It actually was really easy. I just had to know how to do it.
If anyone sees these advertisements be sure to let me know - cause they should be gone.
mammamaia 09-10-2007, 04:55 PM If anyone sees these advertisements be sure to let me know - cause they should be gone.
and that's one reason why you're our much-appreciated glorious leader, lp!
TWErvin2 09-10-2007, 07:18 PM Lpspider,
Great work and diligence on this! They are one of the worst with respect to preying on new writers.

LionofPerth 09-14-2007, 08:56 PM All Hail the Administrator!
Easy enough, but I found it took a bit of time to get right.
