Phoebe Avro Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 So when did LL start having paid adverts on the MP front page? not the lil enhancements that cycle but this big mother one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObviousAltIsObvious Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 since two years ago. the ads are unusual because few merchants can afford that kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokofy Neva Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Are you sure that group of merchants paid for that privilege? I didn't see any opportunity for such an ad. I think the Lindens just picked a dozen merchants that they thought should get this great boost of attention and sales...just because! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokofy Neva Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Can you provide a link to that page where it says "Buy an ad where Linden Lab will include you in a list of merchants that it announces on the forums as having a sale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart Brimmer Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I am a member of the Blueberry clothing group, and received a group notice that she was picked by LL to appear in the ad. So no one paid for the advertisment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least they never, ever, ever say anything bad about LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinRey Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I know this is easy to say since none of the participants are my competitors (yet) but I really wouldn't worry too much about a single event like this. It's not the first time LL helps promote specific merchants and I'm sure it won't be the last. It will be very different if they keep helping the same merchants over and over again of course but as far as I know, that hasn't happened yet.

Blaze Nielsen Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 This is clearly anti competitive activity conducted by Linden Lab to offer a few "select" merchants a tremenduous boost in sales leading up to christmas. Gaming search is strictly forbidden by the TOS, yet in this case it is being perperated by Linden Lab.This is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzombieunicorn Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I assumed these were some of the "real" stores behind the Moles. That was just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
