Traffic-Power Scheme

Actually they lead you to beleive they are going to optimize YOUR site. Then they create a new site similar (but different) optimized for 20 keywords. Their site gets spidered and the surfer ends up on their site requiring them to click through the "INTRO" to get to your real site. Their sales tactics are very tricky. We've requested a refund and they promptly responded with the following e-mail:

Our company is growing, and as we grow are products and services grow as well.

We have now made the transition to diversify ourselves, our company, and our products. All active traffic-power clients will receive our promotional site format for the remainder of your contracted promotion or extended time indicated in individual agreements with VIP customers.

To create a promotional site, we register a new domain based on your keywords and upload the promotional site with the Traffic-Power.com code. If someone finds the promotional site directly or through an attraction page they can reach your original site once they click on the link on the promotional site. ALL clients are being given this new code on a promotional site regardless of promotion start date; it does not cost anything for these changes. The reason for the change is because of problems we have been experiencing with our code being removed or altered inadvertently by those who need to make regular changes to their homepage. Because of these problems it causes delays in placements and in some cases drops people from search engines all together because the code will be missing for a long period of time without our or our clients knowledge. Also, this eliminates the need for our technicians to have FTP access to sites who have security issues.

All active clients have been extended for 12 week period to create, obtain, design, and upload this new format for search engine optimization.

On behalf of 1st Placement, let me apologize for the delays with current traffic-power promotional campaign. I can assure you the problems that have hindered us thus far, have been addressed and will be rectified once your promotional site is working properly. Once the new promotional site is indexed, we will live up to the agreed upon stipulations in your contract with our company.

As a courtesy for your inconvenience, I will extended your promotion for an additional 3 months at no cost to you, defer the balance of your payment for 4 months, and make your status VIP for new promotional sites being created and implemented at this time.

Your promotion will be scheduled to run until 11/12/2005

Unfortunately, due to the nature of search engine optimization, constant fluctuation in guidelines by the search engines in general, and as stated in your contract, our company policy is not to issue refunds to active clients and cancellation of your promotion will not entitle you to a refund . We guarantee 8 to 10 top ten placements for any of your keywords, in any of the search engines we optimize your keywords for or we will promote your keywords for free until said guarantees are met.
