This is a very common and highly successful marketing method used. The general idea behind squeeze pages is that you offer some form of value (often times in exchange for an ebook, access to videos or a free report) in exchange for personal information (an email, name, or other relevant personal information). If your squeeze page is built correctly and your offer is juicy enough (ie., valuable) Then you can build your list to your hearts content. Although it is harder now that it was 3 years ago peopel still are willing to exchange their email for valuable content.

There are a lot of really good tutorials for extending DIYThemes’ Thesis Theme to do just about anything you could want. Personally, I think wordpresslandingpage.com does a nice job of providing some skins for Thesis.

It’s disappointing to hear that Squeeze Theme may still have some bugs or other issues. It doesn’t seem like testing is UBD’s strong suit. I recall when they did the blog design for Yaro Stark, there were some bugs popping up within a few days. Perhaps they need to look into hiring someone for quality assurance.

I have no personal experience with Squeeze so I can’t give such opinions as Unhappy Customer, but I think that the whole idea of managing e-mails is really great. I have problems with my older e-mails, dates, addresses etc. An applications that would put all of this data together is worth trying.

Let me be the first to say that if someone requests a refund, they are always given that refund. If they were not honored with a refund, there must have been some technical error along the way, because we (UBD) ALWAYS grant refund requests. Please feel free to get in touch with me via email – nate@uniqueblogdesigns.com and I will be happy to make sure you are refunded in full. UBD has THOUSANDS of satisfied customers and this is the first I have heard of someone who is unable to receive a refund.

Cheers and Happy Holidays,

Nate

I would not every do business with Unique Blog designs again. I did make a purchase awhile back – and I was happy with my purchase. This time around, I purchased both the WordPress Squeeze Theme and the WordPress Affiliate Theme priced at $297.

That was on December 14th, 2009. I knew I was in trouble when I saw the forum and all of the issues others were having with the themes. I went ahead and installed the WordPress Squeeze Theme on my server and spent the next 4-5 hours trying to get things to work correctly. I’ve been a WP user for the last 4-5 years and I’m a full-time marketer, so I know my way around WP really well.

The same day I asked for a refund from Josh. I got an immediate reply asking which theme I wasn’t happy with. I explained the situation nicely, and then nothing for a few days. I put a refund request in via PayPal, which Josh Mullineau denied.

Here it is December 22nd, and after emails including a voice mail left – all my refund requests are being ignored.

I have zero tolerance for this type of business practice and others should be warned about Josh Mullineau and the Squeeze Theme and Affiliate Theem for WordPress put out by Unique Blog Designs.

Don’t get me wrong, the product will be nice someday – it just has a lot of bugs and issues. The product should have stayed in beta until the bugs were fixed and then launched to the public.

I have no idea how many others are getting/feeling ripped off like me, but I encourage those who feel the same way and/or tried to get a refund from Josh Mullineau and he doesn’t reply to any of your emails to contact PayPal. Let them know the truth about what is happening here.

I’m sure I’m not the only person to have purchased the Squeeze Theme and Affiliate Theme for WordPress to have many issues. And I’m sure I’m not the only one whose refund request was ignored.

To get our money back…. I spoke to my contact at PayPal. All it takes is several of us to tell the truth and explain the situation about the product, issues we’ve had, etc. Once a few of those are in, PayPal will lock down Josh Mullineau’s PayPal accounts and everyone who purchased the WordPress Squeeze Theme and/or Affiliate Theme will be refunded their money.

So sad there are still these types of sellers out there – but thankfully it’s a lot easier now-a-days to report them and get our money back.

Thanks.

I have looked into the squeeze them for a long time… yet, just one fact keeps me from buying it.

There are literally hundreds of free html squeeze pages out there that are INSANELY easy to edit…

But me, being a wordpress whore used to think that using wordpress as a squeeze page would be an easy way of getting a squeeze page created…

but, when I finally compared how long it took to generate a squeeze page using wordpress, against editing a free html squeeze page…

wordpress was left in the dust.

I’ve compared a lot of things – phpfox and buddypress, wordpress and typepad, and blog commenting against article marketing for traffic generation…

and what I’ve found is that some options – even if they are more familiar to us, are not as effective as we may believe.
