Avoid Platinum Partner. They contacted us with a very nice offer in order to get a free 24 hour test drive of their fastgamedownload.com ad. Platinum Partner promised to get back to us but didn't. In addition a report on Google Groups from an actual customer says their site unlimitedgamedownloads.com is "a total SCAM".

We are willing to offer you up to $120,000.00 USD per year to place

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
Here's our proposal, we send you $5,000.00 USD in advance every 2
weeks to place our banner on your website.
You keep full control of your domain, there are no contractual
tie-ups; you can remove the banner at anytime.
Your site does not need to be changed; you simply add our banner to
the existing site, this will insure that your site keeps its high
ranking on Google/Yahoo.
For security reasons, the first 2 payments will be sent on a weekly
base.
Here's an example;
July 10th: $2,500.00 USD (1st Week)
July 17th: $2,500.00 USD (2nd Week)
Starting August 1st we will send bi-monthly payments of $5,000.00 USD;
August 1st: $5,000.00 USD
August 15th : $5,000.00 USD
As our relationship evolves we can start sending monthly payments if
you wish. We are looking forward to a long and profitable
relationship for the both of us.
Please note that a minimum of 10,000 unique visitors per day is
required to be eligible for this offer.
This is our offer; please let us know of your thoughts.
The banner has an approximate size of 728x90 and must be centered on
the main page.
For your convenience, we do not require that the banner be visible on
all the pages of your site.
We wish to promote our Gaming site located at
http://fastgamedownload.com
Please note that if you're traffic converts well, we have no problem
increasing the rental fee accordingly.
Before getting started, could you please provide us with a 24 hour
test drive?
Thanks and best regards,
Chris

Well, Platinum Partner didn't get back to us in 24 hours. We put up their ads and removed our existing
google ads in order to maximise their hits. After 5 days we emailed Platinum Partner and asked them why
they hadn't contacted us. They apologised but never actually 'got started' as promised and paid us.
When we asked Platinum Partner to pay for the lost google revenue for the 5 day period they refused.
Draw your own conclusions but in our opinion it is best to AVOID PLATINUM PARTNER,
AKA PLATINUMPARTNER.COM AND USING FASTGAMEDOWNLOAD.COM
---------------------------
There is a report in Google groups that after actually paying £14 to download games from Platinum Partner
all they got was "a badly designed page with links to other websites!" Apparently Platinum Partner
also use the site unlimitedgamedownloads.com

Users BEWARE - this site clams to be 100% totally legal with legit game
downloads. When you pay the $19.99 or in my case £14, all you get is a
badly designed page with links to other websites! Then the whole part
of the "downloading games" are is a link to download BitCommet ! im
very angry so people be warned don't subscribe to this site its a
total SCAM !!!
Please feel free to use my details to get free access to this
absolutely appalling excuse for a website.

the above link will take you to the "members area".
Should be called www.unlimitedSCAM.com
