OK, so we all know about the various satellite sites and how they exist to feed Googlers into the maw of the main sites. But this one is especially annoying. Search for an album on Google and Allgenresmusic appears to have it, right down to tracklisting and cost per track. Hit the download button and you find yourself at Mp3Fiesta and invited to register or log in. Only when you've done so are you told that they don't have the album after all. Like I say, grrrr. Can anyone explain how this is expected to make me warm to Mp3Fiesta?

Hi Radioshoes

Both www.MP3Fiesta.com, www.MP3Skyline.com and www.MP3Sale.ru have literally THOUSANDS of these 'come let us lure you inside' sites

I know all about the lure-you-in sites, Solaris, and I understand their function. I've been lured in many a time. But at least that process usually ends with finding what you're looking for. What I object to is the enormous trouble someone has gone to - finding album details, typing out tracklistings, costs per track, etc - in the certain knowledge that they don't even have the album. That's what I find annoying. Perhaps someone from Fiesta would like to explain why they think this is a worthwhile and reassuring introduction to the service they provide.

Many software crack sites use the exact same tactics to lure in 'customers' (I'm told ) and MP3Fiesta doing this can not be good for their business (besides being totally unacceptable)

I would guess it's fairly easy to query the multiple online databases containing such information on artists and albums. I assure you no typing of any kind was involved in producing these pages!! (I bet most of them are rendered on demand)

One of the key features of the Google search is that those sites that have the most linkbacks are the ones that will appear at the top of the result set. So having all these sites that all point to each other is genius (though dishonest and totally completely unacceptable!!!)
