[Resolved]  Locanto — Fake views

Address:91505
Website:www.locanto.com

Just wanted to let everyone know that locanto sells ads to you by letting you know you received "x" amount of views, which are really fake views.

How i know this.. I posted 10 ads one day.. Within an hour or two, they all day the same amount of views. I honestly don't think they are views, but impressions.. Which is totally different. Dont buy ads

My comment is getting removed because I am telling the truth about this company and fake views it receives on ads.

Below is a message I sent and the reply they sent back

ME:

Hello,

I am writing regarding the Locanto website.

It seems very suspicious that all my ads one day have 1-2 views, then the next day
they all have around 200. .. a few days later the numbers don't even move.

I've made plenty of accounts in the past and seems that this is something Locanto does to make users believe people are actually viewing their products, and influence them with inaccurate analytics to have them purchase something that wouldn't be to their best interest.

The average of 200 views are always given when posting ads.

Anyways, just wanted to hear an explanation.

Thanks

Johnny

THEM:

Hi Jonny,

sorry to hear that you don't get more hits on your ads. The sudden increase most likely comes from email alerts that are being sent out after your ad has been posted.

Best regards

Peter Meyer

ask yourself... who would write a comment, add their own number, the ask for the website to remove their number.

... fishy just like their company.

I’ve experience very similar issues with Locanto India and could never figure it out. I work for a company that advertises home decorations. At the start when I worked placing ads on Locanto.com I noticed immediately that I started to get visitors. This got me and my boss really excited, so we expanded. We use the Locanto USA website and pretty much sell across the United States.

Within the first two months we noticed that it was pretty much not generating anything. It doesn’t make sense that out of literally thousands of visitors being displayed in www.locanto.com product views, not one call came in from the classified Indian website. In fact, Craigslist.com and Backpage.com generated more leads with less ads placed and less cities focused on.

I 100% agree that Locanto isn’t 100% open and honest with how analytical information is being displayed and can have mislead companies and sell products that are useless because numbers are not accurate. We no longer post advertisements on Free Classifieds – Locanto United States.
