WTF,

How did they manage to get icecreammaker.com re-indexed so quickly? I wonder if Google has made a deal with EPIK.

Any comments on that?

I knew it would only be time before others were feeling how I did about the Epik network. Honestly it didn’t make much sense to me.

I do like some features to the site, but not on the domain sales part.

Epik Sucks Big time. There is no business model. They are robbing the newbies , there is no doubt.

But I pity on those people who fell for this shit in the first place. Those people should blame the Owen fragor factor, and his bullshit, whatever he posts on his site, is totally stupid and bullshit and piece of crap to make newbies fell for epic.

So Owen, if u ever read this comment, Piss off and get real and stop putting people in to epic who will lose hell lot of money.

Mike, you are doing goood, people should know about this. Epik is fail!

Yeah,
it does not look good or build confidence when no public statement has been made by Epik? They are so vocal about announcing every little upgrade, but now nothing?

“Why are you so obsessed with epik?”

//////////////////

Because he runs a competing service with all the flaws that other “mass development” services have.

So Epik has hit a bump in the road. Its not the end of the world. I have some mini sites that are doing better than they ever would with mere parking alone. Epik is building incredible tools and technology. They’ve built an all in one domain marketplace which is a site I use just about every day for information and acquisitions. They’re not revealing all of their tricks to us just yet… so be patient. As for Rob Monster – he’s an intelligent man with a vision and has assembled an extremely talented team over at Epik. In fact, I’d be honored to be a part of their team working along with some of the greatest minds in the industry (look at who’s behind epik) and I’ve been working on my own since 1999. That itself should say something – what they are doing is nothing less than exciting. The portals are just one aspect of the company vision. Mark my words, its only a matter of time before Epik reaches their objectives in the domaining world… and they will not require Google’s help to do it either.

Hi, Couldn’t let this go! I am very positive on Epik after it irons out terms requiring 2 paragraphs from each developer for each site. It will be like the dentist:

“How often should I brush my teeth?” “Every day you want to keep them.”

“How many domains do I have to post two original paragraphs?” “Only the ones you want to make $$.”

I am all for criticism but only if you can show a real alternative rather than these half baked ideas such as:

- sitedepot.com (advertised on this site)
- smartnames.com
- whypark.com
- datafeedscripts.net

All of the above are SHITE. Between me and my partner we have tried them all. Whypark got my sites banned. Smartnames is just using s shopping script. SiteDepot is just a clone of Associte o Matic. Datafeedscript are good but u cannot do any seo.

So basically all alternatives are shit. Alteast EPIK tried and failed and maybe they will learn and get up again.

And talking about developing a proper site – thats a great idea but not easy when you have a full time job and 200 domains to manage.

Those are not better alternatives… I’ve tried most of them before EPIK, with all due respect to the people behind them all. There is no comparison.

————–
One more thing to mention about EPIK, is that rarely ever you can reach the Chief Head of a company in the way you can reach ROB anytime, and he helps in all the means he has in hand – very modest and down to earth man.
————–

Very true! If only many of CEOs would be like this…but they aren’t, even if they run tiny small startups.

As for alternatives there could be:
- http://www.sitedepot.com (advertised on this site)
- http://www.smartnames.com
- http://www.whypark.com
- others probably…

Rob has addressed the situation, and he more than spoke. He laid out a very professional plan to remedy the situation, a plan that promises to “turn Lemon into Lemonade…”
I agree, he who dislikes EPIK should at least present a better Alternative.

The fact that Epik (Rob Monster) has not made a public announcement about this is highly disappointing. He was very quick to blog about the short lived epik success OR to promote the sites. Now, people have been deindexed for days and not a word from Rob about the situation. Sad, very sad.
