Traffic Power the Search Engine hater



Traffic Power a Search Engine Placement and Optimization company has been the scammiest SEO Company that I know of. Of course there are other scam SEO Companies out there but never heard such a flood of forum post as to the others. Overall I have seen hundreds of post containing something like “Traffic Power – Disaster.” Is it true there such a Google hater? Well I kind of think so my self and I am sure current clients of there’s that got banned think so too.

Why is Traffic Power so bad? Why are you saying Traffic Power clients are banned? I will explain all of that in the next section and also give you some tips on getting Googlebot to recrawl you.


Why is Traffic Power so bad?
Traffic Power is bad because they will keep your money and get you banned. They use outdated SEO Techniques way from the 90’s when search engines did not detect keyword stuffing, hidden text, etc. Below are some practices that get you banned from Google that Traffic Power is known to use.

Types of practices Traffic Power uses on your website:

Cloaking

Link Farms or Free for All links

Hidden Text and Links

On-Mouse over redirection spam crap

Doorway Pages

Keyword Stuffing

“BAD BAD BAD TRAFFIC-POWER”

Traffic Power Revenue:
According to the Consortium's research, the beginning asking price for a Traffic-Power Search Engine Optimization Campaign is an estimated $3,000.00 USD. The lowest price documented is $600.00 USD. The average between those two numbers is $1,800.00 USD. Take the average $1,800.00 USD and multiply it by the 4,016 and you get $7,228,800.00 USD. Yes, that is $7 million plus United States Dollars and, the Consortia are being conservative with their estimates.

What has Traffic Power done with there $100,000.00 Worth of Business in 1 Week:

Our boss is throwing us a toga party because we broke over $100,000.00 worth of business in 1 week. This was 3 weeks ago. We also did it last week, and will most likely do it this week. It's mandatory to wear sheets and it's an open bar. Bobby has already said that we are absolutely not going. He said that if one male made a pass at me that he'd beat them up and we'd get fired. I find that rather sick that they just take our money and use it for fun stuff such as that Toga Party.

This morning I received a call from a company who called themselves 1P, First Place. However, my called ID showed Traffic Power. I questioned the sales person and he said they had changed names to 1P. Beware of 1P, for they are Traffic Power under a new name.
