It took some time to write this review about Majon because I wanted to give it a chance and see some results. As most of you don't know, Majon is a bulk opt-in emailer with other marketing services.
First try
I had already got some results with the free ebook Income 4 Beginner(review) on my blog and so, I wanted to test this method after reading elsewhere about them. Plus, other Income 4 Beginner users may find it useful too. What can I say: I like trying stuff. 
So last September, I decided to try their Safe Announce service($60) to sell Income 4 Beginners. The list is for 150 000 non targeted emails in plain text. The other site used the 1 Million($265) target method(HTML text) and made thousands(14-20K) from it. I figured that I could make a few hundreds at best or at least get back my $60. If it would had worked well, I would had try the 1 million then 3 Millions($495) and finally the 5 Millions($795). I wanted to see the result of each level with a $60 starting investment.
I did one mistake: I did not create a landing page for it thus sending it directly to Cash 4 Beginners. But it was small mistake because I really did not get real traffic on the new site. So, it was easy to track the traffic. After a few weeks, I emailed them to make sure my campaign was sent. It was indeed sent yet I could not see any spike in traffic. I figured that with 150K, I would get 1%(1500) from it in traffic alone. Selling is another matter.
Second try
After a few emails with Majon, I change my message to make it shorter using one of the samples of Income 4 Beginners. Plus, I created a landing page to monitor the progress. They did it for free(nice). Don't forget that if it had worked, I would had bought the pricier services.
This time, I waited 1 month more after the initial sending of the emails (up to 10 days) and I monitored the traffic on that page. I only got 2 hits and they were mine. I sent an email that I received zero traffic to that page. As by chance, a few days later I received a big 36 visits and then nothing.
Conclusion
The only trouble I had with the staff was that my contact in charge of my case was sick for a few days and it took several days for someone else to answer me back about my lack of results. Otherwise, they were polite and professional.
If the method would had at least sent me traffic for the free ebook Income 4 Beginners, I would also used it to promote 1 Cool File but I would had expected more than 1%. I can't recommend the Safe Announce service with the low numbers I got from them with Income 4 Beginners. Is it because the email is filtered by people thus less likely to be read? Maybe. If you have money and want to try the 1 Million targeted option, then be my guest and good luck with it.

I write like I see it. They should add a $80 targeted option.
Thanks for the Diet Root Beer. It will come handy after the holidays.

Im currently in the middle of a hair-raising opt-in email campaign with Majon and am at the point of filing a chargeback…

Was it targeted?

yes….the so-called “safe announce” system-targeted opt-in emails.
The thing is, I knew there was the possibility of Majon being a scam, God knows there are some sites out there that say they are scammers…I gave them the benefit of doubt and they, apparently, milked me.
I still wish it is all a misunderstanding, that Easter and the general lax attitude of the West coast got in the way of speedy and accurate service…

Has anyone tried Majon’s 12,000 mall link service (I’ve been considering it)? Has anyone had any luck with any other bulk mailers?

Has anyone tried their advanced press release program. I was about to purchase it until I read these comments.

Jonathan: If it had worked, I would had become a client.
Juan Medina: I used pr.com(free/paid). I used the paid option and an editor called me to propose modification to my press release.

I am relatively new to internet marketing and am learning as I go. I signed up a couple weeks ago with Majon International for their mall linking website. It cost me $109.00 ($59.00 to set up campaign and $50.00 for ad) I have had 4 sales whereas they were my referral and am currently in the green with them so I am overall happy; however still new and testing. I have tried revisitors.com, got alot of hits but no sales. I am also using qualitytrafficsupply and still up in air about them. Check out the site meter at the bottom of my page http://www.buyrightjewelry.com/sassycreations
to see details of referrals and how long they linger on site as well as how many pages they view. As of this moment, I will stay with majon as they are the only company thusfar that I have had sales with. I will update in future as far as progress. I am thinking of using them with my other website http://www.courtneysclassycreations.com which specializes in personalized gifts at great prices for family and those close in heart.
Most of my business on that one comes personally and locally but I will be trying alternative internet advertising as these are products close to heart and close to homeSeptember 18th, 2008 at 1:30 am -

It’s good to try things but I must admit that I did not do much research before starting in the field. So, I learned a lot since then but it came to higher cost that needed be. If I had known…
You are lucky to get 4 sales versus others in here.
Yes, you get hits(cheap bulk traffic) but what’s the ROI? I stay away now.
I prefer 4 buying visitors to my sites than 10000 visitor that don’t buy.
I wrote a report See free movies legally(and make money too). You will learned more from it and save time. Besides, you made some green

Hi Steve
Tks for input. I am always looking to try new ways to get my site out there and get the best roi. What has worked best for you? Any suggestions. It is so hard to get honest advise on the internet because everyone is selling something so of course, everyone is promoting the products they sell or they afilliate for regardless of whether or not they really work. I would just like some honest feedback on advertising methods that really work
Honest input appreciated
Michelle

I know how you feel. Most A-List Blogger are like that and I used to follow them. Not anymore!
I will email instead since it’s going to be outside of the subject of this post.

I realized that it’s been almost 1 year since I posted and Majon is still in business.
I really would like to do another test using my See free movies legally(and make money too) report to see if they got better. But $60 is too much for a test. If they had a $10 for 15 000, I would glady try it again.
Since my report is just $3, I would only need to sell 4 to make my money back otherwise I would lost $10. But this would require: people get the email, open the email, click the link and buy the report.

I’m having trouble understanding one thing. The general feel is kind of negative about majon, but you mention in the post:
“The other site used the 1 Million($265) target method(HTML text) and made thousands(14-20K) from it”
I mean for 265$, 14-20k is pretty nice!?
Thank’s for clarifying!
April 24th, 2009 at 11:30 am -
Steve McGrath said:
Yes, $14-20K would had been a good deal IF it had worked.
I was promoting an offer with less people. But, based on
the result/stats, I should had at least made my money back but did not even got that in traffic.Now, I’m concentrating in building my own list and doing SEO. It’s more targeted and free traffic(SEO).

I DO NOT recommend Majon. The first red flag, was the fact that they act extensively to ensure that you waive any right to file a charge back.
I have Google Analytics set up on my website. Once they did allegedly send out e-mails, the average time on the site was ONE SECOND. It is clear to me that they did not send out any e-mails. Rather, they sent “hits” to my website (ie. FAKE Traffic from Robots).
I confronted them on this, and received no response from my original contact. I was then told that they send traffic, to supplement the e-mails. This cannot be true since it is virtually impossible for millions of visitors to average one second on a website.
I strongly advise to STAY AWAY from Majon International.

Steve McGrath said:
That’s sad since I understand from your comment that you paid for the 1 million package.
Even so, I would not had expected a lot of people to come to visit the site based on an email. In theory, a small would do so.
The 1 second could be possible if the all come at the same time thus overloading the server(crashed). People don’t wait for response.

I would have to agree. Majon is a rip-off. Do not buy them. I once used a marketing program that was very similar. Take away your rights then send pop-under clicks to your site. These aren’t even valid clicks.
I also use Google Analytics and not one of there clicks traveled any deeper than the home page. This is B.S., and when the F$$$ is the government going to have regulations to prevent companies like this from screwing people out of there money?
But yet this Sh%t site remains up and in the number one position on google. What the F%%%!

Sorry John.
They have other services but I can’t say if they are better or not. Maybe that’s the reason it’s still online.

I had a friend that ordered the $60 Safe Announce and got 400 orders. I gave it a try, too. Didn’t get as many sales, but I had a good amount of traffic and sales from it. I’m thinking of giving their targeted traffic a try next. I’ll let you know how that goes.

I am using Majon’s 150k safe announce and am thinking the business is one of many trying to scam people trying to earn some income on the Internet. Their stats say that they sent 458 visitors to my sit thus far and my counter does not read a single visit – not one. I can’t believe my counter is missing 458 people. I was seriously considering the 1 opt-in selection for $265.00 but I guess Majon is not counting much on repeat business.

We used the 1 million email service and received 2 clicks. Sent same email with 2 other services and received over 10,000 on both.

On the contrary, I benefitted greatly using Majon Internatinal’s services. I learned more about niche marketing, targeting several local businesses and customers to direct them to my site. I was able to distribute my email to an array of websites, and took advantage of the permanent link service they offered.
