Paid promo's in Pinkie land are most often associated with P&D's. The appearance of a P&D is a result of the mindset of investors of this market tier, not just the intent of the company.
There are many companies in the Pinks who are honest, have a product and really do try but there are as many or more which are scams. The companies intent does not guarantee success as less than 5% of Pinkies ever succeed in moving up to the big boards.
Since August 2010, there has been at least a half dozen paid promos of TIVU, each resulting in a major expense to the company, with a s/p spike then fall. Not once have they held or been able to sustain their gain. The SST interview, was the most recent and QS has been ongoing for the past year. Not exactly a stellar record of ROI for those promos.
Sorry, but I have to disagree on the paid promo road. I say, stay quiet, take care of business, once contract is signed and the gates are opening to other opportunities, then develop a strategic PR plan, that is progressive and sustaining.
IMHO.
