Leased Ad Space Review: 8×7 matrix cash gifting
There is no information on the Leased Ad Space website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The Leased Ad Space website domain (“leasedadspace.com”) was registered on the 1st of September 2015, with Richard Weberg listed as the owner. An address in the US state of Minnesota is also provided.
Weberg (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar as a co-founder of Green Label Network. Despite prominently featuring in Green Label Network marketing videos, Weberg later disowned the company (see update on our review).
Under the guise of reselling WordPress (a free blogging platform), Green Label Network saw affiliates gift eachother $25 a month. Launched in 2013, the scheme never really took off.
Weberg is a GVO affiliate, with marketing material on the internet linking him to GotBackup? and Pure Leverage. Leased Ad Space’s website domain is also registered through GVO.
Last year Weberg launched Your Eight Steps, a $14.95 a month feeder into Weberg’s Pure Leverage downline.
Read on for a full review of the Leased Ad Space MLM business opportunity.
The Leased Ad Space Product Line
Leased Ad Space has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Leased Ad Space affiliate membership itself.
Once signed up, Leased Ad Space affiliates gift money to the affiliate who recruited them, which qualifies them to earn commissions.
Gifting payments made within Leased Ad Space also qualify an affiliate to participate in an offered traffic exchange program.
The Leased Ad Space Compensation Plan
The Leased Ad Space compensation plan sees affiliates gift $7 to $147 to the affiliate who recruited them.
Payments are tracked through an 8×7 matrix, which also tracks an affiliate’s downline and subsequent incoming gifting payments.
An 8×7 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with eight positions directly under them.
These eight positions form the first level of the matrix, with level 2 generated by splitting each of the level 1 eight positions into another eight positions each (64 positions).
Level 3 is created by again splitting all sixty-four positions on level 2 into another eight positions each (512 positions).
In this manner subsequent levels in an 8×7 matrix are generated down to level 7, with a full matrix housing over 2 million positions.
Positions are filled when recruited affiliates gift the affiliate who recruited them, with payments required on each level of the matrix to unlock them.
- level 1 (8 positions) – $7
- level 2 (64 positions) – $17
- level 3 (512 positions) – $27
- level 4 (4096 positions) – $47
- level 5 (32,768 positions) – $67
- level 6 (262,144 positions) – 87
- level 7 (2,097,152 positions) – $147
Once a level of the matrix is unlocked via payment, this qualifies an affiliate to receive payment from recruited affiliates placed in their matrix on that level.
Note that a Leased Ad Space affiliate cannot receive gifting payments on a matrix level they have not yet bought in at.
Joining Leased Ad Space
Affiliate membership with Leased Ad Space is free, however affiliates must gift $7 to the affiliate who recruited them to earn commissions.
Full participation in the Leased Ad Space compensation plan requires a gifting payment of $399.
Conclusion
Under the guise of offering “100% commissions” on the sale of traffic exchange credits, Leased Ad Space operate a seven-tier cash gifting scheme.
Affiliates buy in for $7, which qualifies them to receive $7 from recruited affiliates.
They then need to make subsequent gifting payments to the affiliate who recruited them, which in turn qualifies them to receive the same from their downline.
Nothing is marketed to or sold to retail customers, with all commission payments within Leased Ad Space made between participating affiliates.
As with all such schemes, once recruitment of new participants dies out, gifting payments within the scheme will drop off and trigger a collapse.
Mathematically a cash gifting scheme guarantees the majority of participants will lose money, as those who got in early receive the lion’s share of gifted funds (each level of the matrix is more expensive to unlock than the previous).
It should also go without saying that not even Richard Weberg, who will have created one or more positions at the top of the Leased Ad Space company-wide matrix, is going to get anywhere near filling a 2 million position matrix.
Richard Weberg somewhat looks like Troy Dooly.
That’s funny, I never was a co founder of any such program, you said I was. We have had this conversation before, that is an out right lie. I was an affiliate of that company. And knew Dom the owner, and because we did a video together regarding the launch, you labeled me as an owner.
Leased ad space, isnt even launched yet, love how you got so called information from our test site??
Members will be selling traffic packages, they are paid 100% commissions from the sale of a traffic package, directly to them. We provide the platform for them to sell it on. And this is the only way we make money as well, by selling traffic packages directly to users.
Including banner ads, text ads, solo ads, classified ads, and more. All members who purchase an ad package also get a profile page they can post content to anytime they want.
There is no gifting, they will be selling traffic packages. Ever heard of it, every single entrepreneur, business, blogger, etc needs traffic, without, no one is successful online.
There is no matrix of splitting up commissions, nothing. Everyone gets paid from the sale of a traffic package, that is it.
Ever heard of Facebook, everyone thinks its a social site, but all it is is a giant ad network set for the owners of Facebook, to exploit people, to sell advertising on. They use your content to sell ads and make billions of dollars a year. and the people using the site, get a free profile page.
Well we changed that, so the people could make money, selling advertising across a network, themselves and get advertising that they could use to promote what ever they want. By the way these advertising packages are one -time payments, and they get their advertising permanently.
I do not know, how you can bring judgement on people, without the site even be launched, or, really know what we are trying to accomplish.
I have purchased tens of thousands of dollars of traffic over the years, including from Facebook, and we are trying to bring to people, more traffic, for a much less cost. Facebok, if you buy traffic on their network, you have to keep purchasing it otherwise it stops.
Try buying a $7 traffic package from a company like facebook once…See what you will get… A big fat zero! You can spend 399.00 in one day on Facebook for traffic…And get absolutely nothing, but hey Facebook is legal right?
Exploit people, own their images, and content use it anyway you want to make money with, and make billions doing so….
Oh and your statement here: “Affiliate membership with Leased Ad Space is free”.
No its not. There is no Free membership, this isn’t a membership site. You only create an account to purchase traffic from another member, otherwise your account will be deleted.
This is taken directly from our Faqs page.
Yes, this is not a free member ship site, you must at least purchase the first $7 ad package, after creating your account.
If you do not purchase this $7 ad package with in 3 days of joining, your account will be deleted.
They can not do anything in their account, tell they purchase a traffic package, this is the number 1 goal of the site, provide traffic for the customers.
Hi Richard, thanks for stopping by.
It was very much a co-founder video, shot and published before the company went live. You were represented as a co-founder in that video.
That you later sought to distance yourself after Green Label flopped is neither here nor there. But we did add your information out of fairness as an update after you got in contact.
When affiliates pay affiliates 100% of the funds they pay into a scheme, it’s cash gifting.
What you bundle with the payments is irrelevant.
See above.
for free == free affiliate membership.
When 100% of that buyin is paid to the recruiting affiliate, it’s cash gifting. Again, what you bundle with that payment is irrelevant.
Well Oz, I disagree with you whole-hardheartedly, and I’m sorry I never owned Green Label.
And there is no free affiliate membership with Leased Ad Space, you must own a traffic package in order to sell them.
We truly built this site with all the people in mind who have struggled to generate some good traffic online, and structured so our customers can make money. I got tired of seeing so many people fail.
I have been involved with marketing for over 12 years online, and our focus with this site is providing good quality traffic through multiple channels. We have came up with some very unique ways for delivering traffic to our customers ads. That we will implement once we actually launch.
If our customers do not make money, neither will we, if the traffic is garbage no one will repurchase a higher traffic package.
That’s another thing we did, is give our customers permanent advertising, starting with just a $7 one time purchase.
I am for the little guy, I want to see members get paid 100% commissions, not work their ass off, for a lousy 50%. Over 95% of all want to be internet marketers fail, they make so little money, they cant possible succeed. Well we are trying to change that, I truly care that we deliver a great product to the customer, and that our customers make money.
Not just a company..
The biggest pyramid scam in the world is the Government, and (Ozedit: Offtopic derail attempt removed)
So say what you will, I know where my heart is at with this. And I know what we are trying to accomplish.
Sincerely,
Richard Weberg
Do you force all affiliates to gift as part of the sign up process, or is payment made after they sign up?
Who you had in mind is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
How long you’ve been involved in marketing is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
Whether you make money or not is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
What you give your customers or not is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
Who you are for or not is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
What the government is or not is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
Where your heart is or isn’t is irrelevant. Affiliates paying affiliates = cash gifting.
And so did “Andy” Bowdoin of Ad Surf Daily. And look at where he ended up:
justice.gov/usao-dc/victim-witness-assistance/ad-surf-daily
And perhaps, study how he operated, and how much your “business” resemble his little scheme.
You’ll go into denial, but the conclusion is pretty much inescapable: your scheme is just another rehash of a known scam.
You may or may not know it, you may or may not intend it, but as a certain lawyer once allegedly said: if something quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, no matter how much it insists it’s not a duck and never wanted to be a duck, it’ll be shot like a duck.
It’s always best to verify whether the ad packs work consistently over time before embarking on the distribution/ representative side of these opportunities.
After several months or so of consistent ROI, then perhaps one can recommend the services to others without ruining one’s reputation over the long haul.
Until then, it’ll be just a gamble if one starts to offer the services without first verifying the effectiveness of the various advertising.
And, what’s the source for these returns exactly?
Whose reputation? A ponzi player?
That doesn’t do anything. Madoff had his staff generate bogus transaction history for YEARS.
In fact, the one red flag about Madoff is his return is TOO consistent.
That is the question of the hour. Who or what determines the return on investment?
And is there any legitimate way to track the source(s)?
Unfortunately so. Trusting certain unfamiliar sources/individuals is very hard to do today.
Yep, especially with people like Weberg having the history that was reported at the top of this page.
We have here a man (Weberg) basically standing in an orange jumpsuit trying to pimp this. Do we really need to SERIOUSLY ask where the funds are sourced?
Who would even want to advertise on such a site?
Ponzie players advertising their latest scheme of the week? Or a legit mom pop business selling legit products?
So Richard Weberg replied to this page… that’s funny, I thought the owners name was Richard Diagle?!
There’s even a picture of Diagle on many other websites, which looks NOTHING like Richard Weberg!
I find it funny that Richard Weberg would reply to this Page and not even mention that he lied about his last name and fake picture that’s all over the Net?
Thank you very much for this review.
This ‘opportunity’ appeared in one of my Facebook groups recently. Took one look and immediately thought this is cash gifting by another name.
Did some digging very quickly and realised, Richard Weberg had been involved in GVO previously, so immediately had two red flags.
Then came here and found Oz had written a pretty comprehensive review.
Shared this with the person, pushing this ‘opportunity’ and was told I am a hater and just jealous of her success.
Oh dear.
She has left my group, well, chucked out.
Thanks as always Oz.
No worries Laurence. Some people, what can you do…
