    So a multimillion dollar operation is done from somebodys bedroom in some housing estate in the Northside of Cork.

    If nothing else confirmed it before that it is a scam, this did... Thank you!:D

    if you bothered downloading the company certificates you will see when the company was registered, december 2011, now have a guess when the office in the regus opened??? thats right 2012 so im presuming you cant register a company with no address?

    now go away as your really an embarrassment at this stage

    If this is a legitimate company why do they hold investment evenings in Cork City hotels?
    In the past this was how pyramid schemes gathered new recruits so why do Banners Brokers go down this road? If the returns are as good as is claimed then venture capitalists would be queuing up to invest?
    Has any major multinational gone down the road of funding themselves in this way when they were in their infancy? I certainly cant think of any.

    Folks, let's be sensible here. No company that generates profits like those being claimed here would operate this way. Instead of scrounging around, picking up €500 here and there from random Irish people, they would simply raise large amounts of money from investors, who wouldn't demand anything near the returns being claimed. And instead of repeatedly teaching individuals how to use their system, they would employ people to do it, without having to give away so much profit.

    It's obviously a scam and a pyramid scheme. Sensible people would be best advised to avoid it and to warn others away from it, and those who made the mistake of getting involved should get out immediately.

    Whats with the other 'banner' website linked to you as well - is that tarding under the same 'system'!

    Personally I think is a daft idea- all the site i maintain will stick with reputable companies.

    Apparently you do maintain websites and run properly some ads on some of them.
    Did you ever come across Banners Brokers?
    I certainly haven't.
    Also, I do block lots of ads, trackers etc within networks that I setup for companies and I never came across Banners Brokers or the need of blocking it.
    Also, I never really saw any banner ads of Banners Brokers itself to begin with.
    If this is so successful, they properly would use Banner Ads to grow their own business.

    But this is obviously a pyramid scheme, that operates within the grey area of the law, the Gardai cannot do anything about it do to the fact, that they do not require the parties to get new people involved – it’s optional. But you can only really make money, if you get new people into the scheme.

    Did I not point out how it is possible to actually earn money passively earlier? So you can't provide any evidence of your claim, you refuse to do any due diligence to back up your claim, you can't even find the company on the CRO without being pointed out step by step on how to do so, and you set up companies??? My god what are they teaching in schools that you were able to pass so that you could point out that "they properly would use banner ads to grow their own business". You writing this driving your Massey ferguson or what?

    Mods lock thread or ban me please, it's like putting a hamster in a spinning wheel with this thread, same insinuations, claims but not one of them backed up with any evidence or not one person,from what it looks like, trying to even look for same.

    As for buying traffic, yes if you want to remain passive you pay for traffic. This basically means that someone who looks up a website will be directed to a website with your adspace on it. This costs a fraction of your adspace so for instance you buy a 10 dollar panel (adspace) you would need to spend 2.50 dollars to make 7.50 profit on that panel.

    I'm still trying to understand the logic behind this 'passive' income. You buy a panel off them $10, spend $2.50 with them for traffic and they pay you back $20 right?

    Why do they bother selling the panels in the first place, why don't they just keep them and pocket the full $20?

    I take my hat off to Banners Brokers,because if you google " banners brokers scam" every result is along the lines of :"Is banners broker a scam -no,I've made
    a fortune -Let me explain how"

    Hi graham,

    You get 10 dollars in cash ( well in your ewallet) to take out whenever you wish and you get another 10 dollar adspace, they continue making money off the old one, that's how they make their money plus the monthly membership fees,everything is geared towards gettin more and more members, hence more buying power, access to a larger ad network, set up a social network site, which is almost finished, called promo121 and from what I gather maybe a search engine.

    Seriously? People fall for this?

    I've a fair bit of experience in online advertising etc, and I'll tell ye one thing, online ads are worth practically nothing. Your impressions alone would have to be in the 10's of thousands a day to even get a few (say 10+) clicks.

    Now if someone is taking 100 euro and making 100 euro profit on top out of a few clicks, well, there is something up. I would imagine that if you were to add up the amount of people required to be viewing these ads for them to turn such a huge profit, it would probably double the amount of people on the internet!

    Has anyone ever even seen on of these banners?

    I would have thought everything should be geared towards selling more banners. Banners are obviously not the main source of business/income, getting more members is.

    How is that not a pyramid scheme?

    Not a soul has seen those banners.
    Not a single Banner even promoting Banners Brokers.
    Main income is from new members.

    So far I was not able to get a single link to a website, that actually uses banners from Banners Brokers. Nada, nothing.

    All they say is, they make money - in some ewallet, meaning virtual money.

    To make those returns, so fast via internet ads is not possible. not even Google themself doubles their money every month with millions of websites, but this small operation can.

    Sure it's registered - all you need to do for this is:
    File a form, pay your fee – simple.

    I previously pointed out, that Banners Brokers started shortly after Banner Brokers went out of business, a company started in 1997. Trying to cash in on some brand naming and some pseudo legality.
    This a well thought out system working on the edge of legality, but it is still a pyramid scheme.
