They called one of my business got me on the phone then sales pitch me. After a few questions they hung up on me.

Oh, and argued with me about organic rankings.

lmao this is not real SEO. I consider it Kid SEO. I researched some keywords they targeted for there clients and they get like 15 to 30 searches a day lol.

One was Punk Rock Information and no results were found. I used WebCEO for the keyword research but still should not matter. Also there website layout should give you a hint for scam. It's very ugly and it's not professional at all.

[smindsrt]

I never actually looked at the website too long. I did find that hidden text crap at the bottom. Then I found this page:

This is the crap you spoke of! "kid SEO" This is really bad for the SEO business, IMO.

What is this "Introducing the NEW I-FRAME TECHNOLOGY!!!!!" This is the biggest scam. Do people really use I-Frames?

[wyrickj]

Yup that's the page I was talking about. $6000 for keywords that are never searched???? Come on now you gotta be kidding me.

That I-Frame thing is just BS. I never use I-Frames unless I need to. I don't think even other web designers use I-Frames nor does SEO Guy.

[smindsrt]

I feel bad for anyone that pays money for there services.

[wyrickj]

I feel bad for anyone going with them and Traffic Power aka 1p.com.

$6000 sure is a lot of money to waste when you don't have it or can't make it up easy.

I had nothing better to do last night, so I email the comapny about how their company is a joke. Here is the response I got...

It appears that either you do not have an understanding of the product we are offering, or you stand to benefit by convincing others otherwise.

There is a consumer base of 16 million that can see the advertiser's site when the consumer conducts a search using the key search terms of the advertiser's choosing.

This is an excellent alternative to pay-per-click advertising because it is one flat fee for the year. For that one fee, which is $995 per key search term, the advertiser's site appears when a search is conducted on 10 major search engines. In addition, the advertiser's site appears when a search is conducted in 2 main browsers.

Depending on the popularity of the term, the average profit per sale, and the pay-per-click cost, this form of advertising can be very cost effective. We've had advertisers find tremendous success using this form of advertising, as evidenced by the testimonials.

Placing an open site above the display of the search engine at the exact time that the consumer is searching for a specific product or service is an excellent way to increase targeted traffic to a specific site.

We take great pride in offering both an affordable form of advertising as well as excellent and personalized follow-up service.

Should you have any further questions you are more than welcome to call to discuss this further.

Thank you.

It seems there the ones who don't have the understanding of SEO. There tatics are as bad I think as Traffic Powers. How can a freakin I-Frame help you target more related visitors????? An I-Frame is a design element not an SEO element.

the Iframe BS is nothing to dwell upon any longer,
the second service they offer (rocketblbla client url search) is funny too(they can guarantee 1st positions...)
but... there is a resembling hebrew service that works... (about 20% of Israelis use it)... :(
