There are two possibilities. First, they may know about a
backdoor that gets faster service out of Yahoo. There is at
least one. You may recall a posting I made a week or two
ago about how important the wording of Yahoo listings was,
and how difficult it was to get them changed.
In response, a kind reader told me of a backdoor email
address into Yahoo that gets very quick service if you've
tried the normal methods without success and your request is
reasonable (god knows what happens if it isn't).
It worked!
Out of respect to my benefactor (and Yahoo!) I won't publish
it. I expect it will quickly die if it gets spread around,
so I'll only disseminate it in situations where the
recipient is truly deserving (so don't ask!)
The other possibility? Well, it works like this:
A GUARANTEE TO THE LIST! Pay me $500 and I GUARANTEE I'll
get you listed in Yahoo. YOUR MONEY BACK if you don't get
in!!!
Think about it. Assume I am just as likely as anyone else
to get you in, no advantage or secret whatsoever. Lets
assume that it's a 10% shot.
10% of the time I get $500. The rest of the time I get to
deposit your money for a couple of months. My expected
value per sucker is $50.
Hey, not bad!
I'll repeat the offer!
A GUARANTEE TO THE LIST! Pay me $500 and I GUARANTEE I'll
get you listed in Yahoo. YOUR MONEY BACK if you don't get
in!!!
