If Ron would ever get serious on Getbig, he can start making some money on it - get with it already, and update the site more, and get some help, everyone complains about it, yet the site is still up there.   Some of the sections are outdated, but I love this place.  None of the bullshit and made up numbers like others do.



What Ron needs to do is to forget about all that content stuff update - delete all these pages.
Have 1 Forum, And 1 Gallery.

RON I'LL FUCKING INSTALL THE GALLERY FOR YOU, YOU DICK ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY YES... YES STARK I TAKE YOUR ADVICE.

I find it hard to believe that RXMuscle is on top of MD

Remember – Dave Palumbo is an ex-con, rip-off artist, con-man, bodybuilder, and bodybuilding is a sport based on illusion – whether it’s creating the illusion of a skinny waist by having huge shoulders, or the illusion of having a successful site by padding your stats, it’s the same thing.  Oh, and don't forget how he took advantage of people like his friends and clients who trusted him.  Yet there are people who actually idolize this guy.  That tells you what kind of people they are

I take exception to you calling out Dave. Dave has always been respectful to me, and tries very hard to cover the contests, which takes dedication, time and money.  It isnt easy going to various contests, and putting things up on a timely manner.

Alexa is not a fair measuring tool for Statistics..

Alexa is an Amazon owned web search and traffic measurement company which gauges the popularity of a web site based upon the visits of Alexa Toolbar, A9 Toolbar and other web tool users. Beyond asking friends to download Alexa and visit a web site a couple of times per day there are also some businesses which manipulate Alexa rankings as a service..

As Ron said Google Analytics is the best way to get a trust worthy statistical measurement.

Who cares - do you really think all those view are real.  You can set it up so that every hit is called a view.  That is why I don't care about numbers, I care more about having fun.  

Go to Alexa.com if you want to see the real numbers.  Everything else is just whatever you say.  I can add 100,00 hits to a thread quite easily if needed.  But who cares.

More important is the fact that this nonsense should not be reported or posted on this site.  

Getbig serves a great purpose for fans of this industry and keeping a watchful eye on those clowns over at RXmuscle just isn't a priority at Getbig.

"1"

P.S. Lets not insult Ron with this garbage, sorry Rabbi..

You got any info on why RxMuscle has such a high turnover rate for their sponsers?

Is it a simple case of poor ROI or is Dave a nightmare to deal with?

I'd bet that very few people who visit the site actually frequent the sponsers.

The sponsors are not getting good ROI, the place is a ghost town relatively speaking. Yes there is a small contingent of Palumbo fans however not many other people. Honestly MD destroys RX for content and they have the horses (athletes) and RX doesn't. Seriously Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, Jay Cutler, Denis Wolf, Victor, and so on and so on. RX has PJ Braun and ???? They can't keep up.
I know, you don't

every sponsor that shows up there...........ends up leaving VERY soon

ALRI, brutal alchemy...........and there are numerous other ones


its quite bizarre actually, the turnover is so quick its mindblowing............a testament to palumbo's shadyness............spo nsors will show up, and on one of the shows palumbo will hype them as "the next big thing"...........and they will be gone the next week. literally, the next week

Martini Muscle came on a few weeks ago and was suddenly "the official supplememt store fo RX muscle".........the next week.......they were GONE
no explanation, no explanation for any of these sponsors that just dissappear..........they just dissappear



paying RX muscle si worthless, it is not making sponsors money........and pretty soon dave is gonna run out of new sponsors to scam...........cause he went through half the industry in hsi first year

Ron has no idea how much money he is just letting go with this board, I say at least $10k a month.

I guess Ron is just not really much of an entrepreneur.

maybe ron makes a lot of money the way it is.......and understands that while money MAY be available............it would probably involve a lot of headaches


fucking sponsors bitching and making demands., this cant be said cause it pisses off one sponser, that cant be said cause it pisses off another.........pissing and moaning about ROI

plus you have to activly seek out sponsors, they dont just come to you

it may be more trouble then its worth

rons actions are already dictated by the NPC....threads disappear all the time at the request of the industry people


prolly just not worth the hassle



plus, this is getbig.,,....it has a reputation.  no one would advertise here,  ron would have to eliminate 95% of the posters here, and start over from scratch...........there are already plenty of boards where one can go for sterile boring bodybuilding discussion

so essentially to get sponsors to be her, he would have to make this not-get big..........so th eposters would go away

No, Ron's a fucking genius for setting up a site that is clean of ads and other bullshits and its a full page.  I set the same thing up with my Muscle World Order forum as a full page site with no ads.  It may be a ghost town but it least it looks good.... :-X


Dave is in transition with sponsors and he can't help who's paying and who isn't.  Its just business and its his site and he's free to run it as he wants.  I just would not do it.  

Ron's been around since the mid 90's so he obviously knows what he's doing

Dont think of it as a ghost town Vince, think of it as full of people who take you seriously.
