PixMeUp.Com: Please Don't Invest – It's A Pyramid Scheme

I got burned by pixmeup.com, but what' wors, is that paypal was part and parcel to it. No matter what evidence was shown, paypal was the final holder of my funds, which I never got back. God's truth.

Let's Flash Forward to May 25th 2007.

Pixmeup.com is no where to be seen. This was certainly a big Pyramid scam. I was one of the people who advertised a single 100x100 pixel block costing a whopping $25 dollars. The people who manage the pixmeup site are cowards and they suck.

So, lets see two years many thousands of dollars. now pixmeup is no more. For that king of money you can get way more at http://pixels.getpaid420.biz

At lease you know that this site looks way cooler than the former pixmeup site shit. So hit us up and post some pixels.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Troy B.

I wish I would have read this warning about PixMeUp sooner!!!!! I was promised money in one week . Months have passed and I have received NOTHING!! I lost $500.00 dollars in the scam!!!!

it is now come to light that after several delays after delays, that there may be evidence that this matrix was stacked with some of russ medlins friends. mainly a guy by the name of tom moore. He was helping do a few calls during pre-launch and now appears that he was bumped up in the matrix for his efforts. Russ said time and time again, that EVERYBODY is time/dated from when they join and how they will be placed in the matrix. There is now evidence coming out that this was indeed not true. if tom morre got special treatment then how many other friends of russ's also got bumped up in this matrix???
Not only is this not right, but this now becomes FRAUD,,,
If you would like to read the evidence that so far has been found to back this up, there is a very large thread over at moneymakergroup.com inside the referral/mlm section.
We may never know the extent on how much of this went on, but it only takes 1 person to turn this whole thing into Fraud.

It is not a scam..You will need a sponsor to BUY and AD....You will at some point buy one..I would be glad to sponsor you pixmeup.com/kasper

We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinions but, really, enough bickering.
What this all really boils down to is this. I spent $250 for a 10 square block of advertising space on PixMeUp.com about 1 month ago. Since then I have acquired 15 new customers for my business from the ad which has returned me a healthy profit, well over the initial cost of my PixMeUp ad. I still have 11 months of ad time to run so I can see this to be the best $250 worth of advertising I have ever done. I’m considering doing an ad on every page.
Forgetting the matrix payouts I am very happy with PixMeUp.
What Mr Blair hasn’t pointed out is that anyone who chooses to promote PixMeUp can make a very decent income building their personal silver matrix using good old fashioned multi-level marketing. The gold matrix, which is what Mr. Blair seems to be objecting about, is merely a bonus. The bonus in month 1 will be better than the bonus in month 6 but isn’t that like an advertiser offering discounts on their new product for the first month only? It’s just the way you look at it. It you like the concept of network marketing like me then you will write a message like this. If you don’t like muli-level then you’ll write one like Mr. Blair who should study what constitutes a pyramid scheme (if he did he would see that this does not qualify). If your down-line can make more money that you, how can it be a pyramid? He probably just doesn’t understand the marketing plan.
If people advertise with PixMeUp they can expect more traffic to their website. If they put some effort into promoting the site they will make some money as well. If people want to place and ad with PixMeUp but they don’t have their own website and they expect to make a "fast buck" by doing absolutely nothing then forget it, the special offer is off (just like the half price settee did not remain half price at the new furniture store).
So what we have here is a very good advertising platform (already proved that for myself) with a great multi-level opportunity with the personal silver matrix and an added bonus with the company gold matrix.
I don’t think the company will stop there either. I’m sure many other advertisers will want to take advantage of this very successful website. If millions of people are going to a website, then advertisers want a piece of it don’t they? I’m sure the company will find some novel ways of passing some of this “peripheral” income to the network of advertisers too.
Now, Mr Blair please find something else to do with your time. My guess is you hate muli-level. I hate football, and that sometimes generates some bad press, but it doesn’t mean football is bad. Why don’t you turn your attention to something like that and get into someone else’s hair and out of ours. Or better, better still, why not find a way to make a second income in your spare time and do something positive with it instead of wasting it on “tittle-tattle”. I can’t believe you’ve gone to all this trouble in the belief that you are saving people $25. If you want to do some good, why not campaign to stop the National Lottery? The poor public pour millions of their hard earned cash into that and there’s a 14 million to one chance of getting anything decent out of that. Mind you, you may have to move house because the government will be after you then.
Go on, read the marketing plan again and then have the decency to admit you were wrong.

When you purchase a pixel ad from "PixMeUp" you are paying for a years worth of advertising on their site,,,THATS IT,,,,just exactly like anyother pixel site out there.
You are not buying a program and paying for business centers. You Are Paying For Advertising!!!
What is GIVEN TO YOU is 2 business centers for every block you purchase that has the opportunity to make money. Why does "PixMeUp" just give you 2 business centers?
"PixMeUp" will make their Money on Volume. A block of 100 pixels cost's $25. That's 1/4th of what the Million Dollar Homepage was charging for the same amount of ad space.
Now also like the Million Dollar Homepage, 99.9% of all the pixel sites online that charge for advertising,,,,,They Keep 100% Of All The Revenue,,,,,
"PixMeUp" decided not only to charge a far price for their pixel space, but also wanted the advertiser's to share in the profits generated from making their pixel site the #1 on the Entire Internet.
For every $25 block of advertising sold they are paying back out over $16. directly to the Advertisers (us). (thats 65%)
Further more, that $16. is being distributed to 14 different business centers.
They don't care who those 14 business centers belong to,,,,they really don't,,,,,,they are making aprox. $9. for every block of advertising sold on "PixMeUp" That's It!
They are Making Their Money on the Volume Of Ads Being Placed. and giving back 65% of what they charge for every block of pixel space, and spreading it amongst 14 different business centers.
The way this Comp Plan is laid out, and taking the very best senario, you could potentially make over $19,000. for every $25 block of ad space purchased.
Is this really possable? Sure, anythings possable, the sun might decide not to come out tomorrow either. and "PixMeUp" is the first to admit that this would be in a perfect world.
But, lets assume for a moment that you decided to buy 1 block of advertising for $25 to test this whole thing out. #1 you would have a link pointing to any site you choose for a Full Year, nothing else to do, nothing else to buy.
Because you are now an Advertiser you also get 2 business centers inside this 3x8 matrix where you will share in all future business centers being placed under either one of your business centers.
Most people keep assuming that when they say 3x8 that means you need 3 people below you before you start to fill up your 2nd level with spillover
,,,"NO",,, they are filling the Matrix up with Business Centers!
There are several pixel ads already up on the 11 different pixel boards that are 200, 300, 500 blocks of advertising. One 500 block of advertising is 1000 business centers all being compressed into a 3x Forced Matrix.Just that 1 Pixel Ad all by itself has created many many layers of spillover for hundreds of people all getting their little cut.
Anyway, so lets say that your 2 business centers only made you a $100 in a reasonable amount of time.
What Would You Do???
You' would probably do just like any Smart Advertiser would do.
You Would Buy More Advertising!!!
only this time you would have enough to buy 4 blocks of advertising and at the same time have 8 more business centers all working to support your next advertising campain.
and thats what PixMeUp"" is banking on!!!
This isn't any kind of a pyamid scheme or some kind of money game.
Far From It, they have a legitement product that they are selling at a fair price.
Because you bought advertising from them, they are giving you the Opportunity to share in any future profits they make.
(NO FURTHER OBLIGATIONS ON YOUR PART,,,,,NOTHING,,,,,)
You don't have to sponsor anybody, there is No Hidden Fees to get your share of the profits, and you are Not Obligated to do Anything.
SURE, once you see that This Is A Legitement Opportunity and Really Want To Help Build This Company and start making More Money Online, you always have the Opportunity To Do So, and you will be Rewarded Very Nice for Your Efforts.
For those that are looking at this more as a Business Opportunity
It's Like This:
For as little as $25. you can "Start Your Own Pixel Advertising Company"
With over 1000 pixel sites now online, all of them fighting for visitors and advertiser's, it's highly unlikely that the majority of them will make any money
"On Their Own".
Now take those same 1000 sites, combine all of their ads that have already been sold and put them on One Main Portal Site that shows everybody's ads.
Then come up with a reasonable amount to charge for the pixel space that any website out there that needs visitors could afford.
Every time any of the 1000 sites made a sale, the majority of the money would be devided among them. Ofcourse the person that made the sale would also get a little something along with his commisions. Individually their sales are far and few between, but when they all combine their efforts,,,They All Make Money and Generate Enough Traffic To Support Their Advertising Efforts and "THEY ALL GET MORE TRAFFIC TO THEIR OTHER SITES""
That My Friend is PixMeUp in a nutshell!
How Big You Choose To Make Your Pixel Advertising Business is all up To You!
It doesn't matter if you start with a single block of advertising or a Hundred blocks.
The Opportunity Is The Same For Everybody!!!

shameless. Sad thing - he will make some cash out of this

Well this guy has no scam at all... He just asks for money! Original: www.milliondollarpiggybank.com

I've been on most of the conference calls, at least one every other day. I have yet to hear a guarantee of fortunes that will be made. I consistently hear Russ Medlin, the founder of PixMeUp saying there is spillover for everyone in Pre-Launch, but he then adds, that doesn't necessarily mean everyone will get a paycheck on Day One.
He also says if you referred X number of people, and their business centers fill up, you would get Y amount of money. He says, I guarantee you that is NOT going to happen. But it could be the case that 10% of that will happen.
So again, I'm not sure where the income guarantees are coming from that you are citing.
There may be affiliates out there touting this as a get rich quick scheme. But those of us who truly understand this company realize that this is a fantastic opportunity with no guarantees, just like any business. The reason we are so excited though, is the potential is large, and the risk very negligible.
As for fast payouts, what has been said on the conference calls is our back office has live reporting of our commissions, and we can request payment at any time. We do not have to wait until the end of the month. This does not mean those of who are serious about this business think we are going to get a check for $10,000 after the first week.
Due diligence is warranted, I agree, but you can't knock PixMeUp as illegitimate when it is the fastest and largest pixel site on the planet. I'm not making that up--it's sold well over 2 million pixels in 6 weeks. It took Alex Tew 5 months to finish his first million. We've had over 5000 registered users in the last week, most of whom will be buying at least one ad today at launch time (5 p.m. EST). Watch the pixel count yourself on Page 6 after that time, and see how fast more pages go up and are filled up.
Also, for those wondering where all the people will come from, remember that the people who are already in this company are likely to buy additional ads with some of their commissions. This is especially the case when a new page opens up and the click through rate is the highest. Each additional ad block provides 2 business centers to fill in the matrix. So this is not a linear math concept claiming exponential numbers. (link)
